As usual, many thanks to everyone who is reading & enjoying my little creation. Special thanks & a :flower to those who left feedback.



Sam: Yay! You think the dress sounds pretty. The dress was a creation of my own imagination & it looked very pretty the way I saw it in my head.



SoL: Uhm, Dawn's not allowed to see the dress 'cos Tara thinks Willow should get to see it first. Hmm, I thought I'd explained that, oh well, it's reiterated in the next part.



So you think Willow's gonna be dressed up all pretty in a green dress do you? :hmm Well, you'll just have to read the next part to find out if you're right.



Update in a few minutes



Hugs

Jeanne

Another update for all you lovely kittens

See 1st post for disclaimers etc



**************************



Just before seven 'o' clock Willow's key was heard opening the front door. She glanced around looking for her girlfriend, but only saw Buffy and Dawn sat watching cartoons.



“Dawn, aren't you supposed to be helping Tara get ready?” Willow scowled slightly at the girl. She'd trusted Dawn to carry out her part of the plan so that everything would run smoothly. When she saw that Dawn was watching telly and not helping Tara, Willow had got a little annoyed.

“Relax little red witchy-hood, Tara kicked her out when she'd finished her hair and make-up. Apparently, nobody's allowed to see her before you do.” Buffy jumped to her sister's defence, before Willow had a major wiggins.

“Oh, cool.” Willow exclaimed grinning at her lover's thoughtfulness.

“Anyway, lets have a look at you.”

The wiccan did a little twirl for her captive audience. She had spent the last forty-five minutes at Xander and Anya's getting ready and desperately trying to stop Joshua getting peanut butter all over her.

Dawns observation of - “Wow, you scrub up pretty good Will.”- although not politely worded, was very accurate.



Willow was dressed in a long, deep-purple velvet dress. It had thin straps and a collapsed neckline. The skirt started at a gather at the small of Willow's smooth, milky back, which was completely revealed by the lack of material in the back of the dress. Small black heels elevated the redhead and prevented the bottom of the skirt from trailing on the floor. Soft red curls hung loose around her face, bouncing above her freckled shoulders, the only decoration was a small white lily that rested just above her right ear. The whole ensemble was set off beautifully by the sparkling emerald eyes and angelic, loving smile that adorned her lightly made-up face.



A small gasp from the top of the stairs caught Willow's attention and her gaze darted to where the sound had originated. The sight she was confronted with left her both breathless and speechless.



The perfectly fitting dress hugged Tara's full, curvaceous figure wonderfully. The baby blue of the silk and soft blue eye shadow highlighted deep sapphire eyes; pale pink lipstick made soft lips sparkle like diamonds. Golden blonde hair was pulled back from lightly blushed cheeks in a twist, two curls framing either side of the smiling face. Heeled feet tapped gently as the radiant witch seemingly glided down the stairs towards the most important person in her life.



“You like?” Tara asked timidly, seeking verbal confirmation of what was written plainly in her girlfriend's face and eyes.

“I like, I more than like. Tara, baby, you look…wow.” There was so much more that Willow wanted to say, but she couldn't find any words to express herself fully.

“Thanks. So do you.” The sincerity of the simple statement prevented Willow from restraining herself any longer. She did what she'd been dying to do since she'd walked in the house, pulled Tara close and kissed the blonde passionately. Both girls melted into the kiss as everything around them faded away until they were the only two people in existence.



And they would have stayed that way for the rest of eternity if Dawn hadn't interrupted with a highly unoriginal - “Get a room”.

“S-sorry.” Tara blushed, embarrassed by how carried away she had gotten.

“I'm not.” Willow whispered, smiling sweetly as she stroked her flustered girlfriend's cheek in an attempt to calm her.

“Don't you two have some place to be?” Buffy prompted before the two witches had a chance to get lost in each other's eyes, as they were prone to do quite regularly.

“Oh, I almost forgot, what with all the kissing and the overwhelming beauty. Your carriage awaits my lady.”

As Tara looked out of the open door she realised that that was not just a cheesy line.



On the sidewalk in front of the house there stood a white and gold carriage drawn by two chestnut brown horses. Willow had spared no expense and the hired mode of transport would have easily made Cinderella an extremely jealous princess. Just when Tara started thinking that her girlfriend couldn't possibly surprise her any more, the romantic wiccan went and pulled off a big romantic gesture like this.



“Today just doesn't stop getting better. Tell me again, what did I do to deserve this?”

“You were born…” Willow started her standard response.

“…and I exist.” Tara interrupted

“That's enough, that's more than enough.” They both finished together, smiling warmly at each other.

A small hug followed, then they walked, arms-linked, down the garden path.

Hi Jeanne,



What do I think? - I think this fic is fab!! I'm SO loving it!! It's gotta be one of the most romantic fics I've ever read - and it's much more so, because it is about our darling girls - Willow has outdone herself for her 'nosy little princess' Tara *sigh* that was just so cute and touching to read... You write so beautifully Jeanne - please update soon I'm truly eager to read more.



BTW in answer to your earlier question about my own updates - hopefully soon... I know what you mean about withdrawals... I suffer too whenever RL is in the way of my getting to write... but hopefully soon - and thanks so much for your wonderful support.



I've said so before & I'll say so again - You & your fic(s) rock!!



:love WFB

Part 8

Postby kindagay » Wed May 26, 2004 11:34 am

An update just for you lovely kittens. Just a short one this time

Disclaimers etc in part 1



********************************



Buffy and Dawn watched from the front porch as Willow, very chivalrously, opened the door and helped Tara to climb the step into the open-top carriage. The redhead turned to wave goodbye before climbing up and joining her girlfriend on the satin covered bench-seat.



As the horses pulled them along Willow's specified route the two lovers cuddled together to enjoy the sun set. This specific detail was the only thing Willow had had no control over, so she was especially glad that she had managed to time the carriage ride in time for them to watch the natural beauty of the ending of the day. The chosen path included a meander through Sunnydale's safest and most tranquil park; along the bank of said park's boating lake to see the ducks and swans; past the lovingly tended to flower-beds and through a small forest of oak trees.



Twenty minutes later they had arrived at their desired destination, a quaint little Italian restaurant. Willow had taken the liberty to book the entire establishment for the night, so that they would be the only diners. There was a little band playing soft music on violins, flutes and a piano, and the lighting was soft and romantic. The couple was seated at a small round table to the side of the makeshift dance floor; it had been laid out with silver cutlery, two crystal glasses, a small vase of pink and white roses and a single white candlestick. Next to the table was an ice bucket containing a bottle of the restaurant's finest (and most expensive) champagne, which was promptly poured for the lovers by the eager-to-please waiter. Two menus were provided and Willow and Tara were finally left alone while they decided what to have.

“This is amazing, I hope it wasn't as expensive as it all looks.” Tara was worried that Willow might have bankrupt herself on all the surprises.

“I pulled a lot of strings, and cashed in a few favours, but it hasn't cost even a fraction of what you're worth.”

“And what exactly am I worth?” Tara enquired playfully.

“Everything in existence ten times over, then a little bit extra on top.”

“So you just paid the little bit extra then?”

“Maybe. You know better than to ask how much your presents cost Miss Maclay. Now, what does my nosy little princess want to eat?”

“Lets see, fruit salad starter, followed by… I don't know. It all looks so tempting. What are you having?”

Green eyes glanced up from the menu they were studying.

“Soup to start with, then cannelloni, with potato salad.” The hacker recited her chosen dish.

“Mmm, sounds delicious. I think I'll have the spaghetti amour.” Tara stated in her best Italian accent.

“An excellent choice. I'll get the waiter.”



They placed their order and sipped champagne while waiting for the meals to arrive. They talked happily about everything and nothing all at the same time while they ate their meals. When the plates had been cleared they ordered a large chocolate gateau with cream and two spoons for dessert. The champagne was finished whilst they waited for the gateau and Willow requested the pleasure of a dance. Holding each other close with their heads resting on each others shoulders they completely forgot about their surroundings and the fact that there was a plate of chocolatey goodness to eat.



***************************



Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think



Hugs

Jeanne

Hello kittens :wave



Thank you to everyone who's reading & enjoying. Special thanks & a :flower for those who left feedback.



Lil C: Romantic? Oh good, that's what I was aiming for. I've been told that I'm good at romance & for this fic the romance is very important. Thanks for the feedback, glad you're enjoying



WFB: Hi :wave ,

Well, that was some very high praise indeed. Receiving such kind & encouraging feedback, & from a wonderful writer like you, means so much to me. I'm flattered that you think my fics rock.



As I said the romance is very important in this fic & (if you can believe it) it gets even more romantic in the next part. You also get to find out the reason why Willow's outdone herself.



Take care & try to get that update finished soon please :pray



Sam: Glad you're still liking it, thanks for always taking time out to leave feedback.



Stay tuned, update follows shortly



Hugs

Re: Part 9

Postby kindagay » Sat May 29, 2004 9:57 am

One rather short, but extremely romantic update.

See 1st post for disclaimers etc



****************************



After some time the waiter, although reluctant to disturb them, gently tapped Willow on the shoulder and explained that their dessert has been served. The two lovers made their way back to the table and fed each other the sticky chocolate pudding. When it was finished a second bottle of champagne was ordered and poured into the glasses. A comfortable silence descended on them as they held hands and stared deep into each other's eyes across the table. It was a happily tipsy Tara who broke the silence, as a heart-warming smile graced her beautiful face.



“Today has been absolutely amazing Willow. Thank you so much for everything, I really don't know what I did to deserve it all. I don't…” A tiny part of Tara was still a little bit self-depreciative, several glasses of champagne tended to bring this part of her out into the open. Thankfully, Willow was well aware of this and interrupted her girlfriend before she could put herself down.

“Tara. Shush baby.” Gently placing a finger against Tara's full lips she silenced the blonde before launching into her speech. “I have something to say, okay?” The redhead waited for a nod in response, purely so she had a few more seconds to build up her courage.



“Okay. Exactly twenty-five years ago today you entered the world, and you grew up to be the most beautiful, caring, loving, adorable, amazing, perfect, incredible woman in the whole world. And as if that wasn't enough, 'cos it was, more than enough, but then, then you let me love you and you found it in your pure delicate heart to love me in return. You deserve so much more than I can ever offer you. You deserve the sun and the moon and the stars. You deserve happiness beyond comprehension. I'm the one who's not worthy of the love you so willingly shower me with, but no matter how much I feel like I don't deserve you, you're still here. You're still with me, making me feel like I am worthy, making me happier than I ever thought possible. Now I want to ask you if you're willing to make me even happier, by letting me offer you all that I have to offer. It's not the sun, moon and stars, but I'm hoping it'll cover the happiness beyond comprehension. I promise you an eternity of love, devotion, adoration and perfect bliss. I promise you everything that I am, everything that I ever will be, everything that I have, and everything that I ever will have. All I ask in return, is for you to find it inside of yourself to answer yes to my next question. Tara Maclay, will you do me the great honour of becoming my wife?”



Both girls had tears rolling down their cheeks as Willow finished her long winded proposal and produced a velvet, heart shaped box from her purse.



“Oh Willow, darling, yes, always yes. I always want to be with you, with only you. Yes, I'll marry you, a million times over.”



Somehow they ended up wrapped in each other's arms, sharing tears of overwhelming joy, whispering unnecessary words of love to one another.



The velvet ring box, temporarily discarded, was now recovered by the proposer and opened in offering to the proposee. The most exquisite, but subtle, heart shaped diamond was set in a border of small sapphire crystals. Devotedly, tenderly, the white gold band was slipped onto the long slender ring finger. It sparkled in the candlelight, as did one pair of blue eyes and one pair of green eyes.



******************************

Ah, I told you it was very romantic. Let me know what you think.



The next part shall be the last one.



Hugs

Jeanne

Hi all :wave

And now, the end is near, And so I face, the final curtain

Ahem, sorry 'bout that, I just came over all Frank Sinatra.



Well, here it is kittens, the last installment of this little romantic piece of fiction. Thanks for sticking with it throughout & many :flower 's for everyone who has expressed their opinions & support.



Disclamers etc in 1st post



****************************



After what seemed like forever, Tara went - “to splash cold water on my face to calm myself down”- while Willow paid the bill and thanked the restaurant owner for helping to make everything perfect.



The carriage was waiting for them when they exited the restaurant, theirs arms wrapped around each other's waists. Once again Willow offered her hand to help her girlfriend, and now fiancée, into the carriage. The sunset was by now long over, so the lovers gazed up at the stars as they journeyed towards the one remaining Birthday surprise.



Half an hour later they pulled up in front of Sunnydale's finest hotel, or rather, the finest hotel just outside of Sunnydale. A young bellboy approached the coach and helped the two women out; he then escorted them up the steps and held open the large door as they entered. Willow retrieved a key from the middle-aged woman behind the front desk then led Tara to the elevator which would take them to the pent-house suite at the top of the hotel.



A large heart shaped red box, filled with chocolates, sat in a sea of red, white and pink rose petals atop the large four-poster bed. Candles were placed around the room and had all been lit in anticipation of the two witches' arrival. A small hamper was resting on an antique-looking chest near the French-windows, and a vase of roses decorated a glass-topped corner table. At the touch of a button Sarah McLaughlan's soft voice filled the room.



“Go look in the hamper baby.” Willow prompted her overwhelmed partner, who, as yet, had failed to take more than two steps into the room.

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

The wicker hamper contained a chocolate fondue set, several types of fruit, some whipped cream, and a bag of mini marshmallows.

“You look so amazing in that dress it almost seems a shame to take it off.” Willow whispered suggestively as she pressed her petite frame against Tara's back.

“Only almost?”

“Yep. You've been unwrapping gifts all day, I think it's my turn now. Besides, no matter how good you look in the dress, there are no words to describe how gorgeous you are out of it.”



With that the redhead slowly, gently undressed the love of her life and led her to the bed. Willow showered the blonde's body with kisses as she leisurely lay on her back. Hesitantly, Willow pulled away from Tara, who watched with lust filled eyes as the pale skinned hacker sensuously removed her clothing, then brought the hamper to within reach of the bed.



While they waited for the little tea-light to melt the chocolate the two wiccans planted soft butterfly kisses on each other's naked bodies. They fed each other chocolate covered fruit and marshmallows. The left over chocolate and whipped cream was used to draw patterns and write messages of love on each other's skin. Then hungry, eager tongues licked silky smooth skin clean. Just in case their tongues had missed any spots, they shared a long, warm, Jacuzzi-style bath. Then they returned to bed and made love beneath the satin and silk sheets into the wee small hours of the morning.



And just before they fell asleep curled up in each other's arms, a satiated, exhaustedly happy redhead whispered to her fiancée.

“Happy birthday Tara. I love you.”





The End



*****************************



That's all folks

Let me know if you enjoyed my little creation



As I said from the beginning this is dedicated to my sweet girl.

I love you baby, with all my heart forever & a day :luv2 :heart



Hugs

Jeanne

:wave Hi Jeanne,



That was a totally beautiful ending to a totally beautiful fic. Well done you! - I thoroughly loved reading your special and exquisite brand of Willow/Tara romance - Thanks a million for sharing it with us.



I'm hoping to get to my fic within the next 2 weeks - so here's hoping RL permits me to do so. In case you're interested - yesterday I put up a VERY long post in the 'When Harry Met Sally' thread at 'Witches and Vixens' - it's all about my experience of Aly's last day on the London stage....



Anyway, thanks again for your very beautiful fic :bow



Take care
