Author's Note: Hello there. Umm... I just wrote this out as a
challenge to myself, especially after reading ebaily's series of
Unconventional Relationships. Sorry, I can't remember the title
exactly. They got me thinking about a relationship that hasn't
been explored yet. It had been attributed to one of my stories
but as Quin pointed out, the story never stated who Buffy was
kissing. So... I started thinking... "What if..." And if you
want to see... you'll have to read. OH... please don't hate me.
Thanks: To Xita for letting me know she liked it, although it
wasn't finished.

Buffy sat down and waited for Willow to say something...

Anything...

She looked over towards her friend and wondered what was going
on in her mind. 'Well, besides the bomb I dropped on her,' she
thought.

"I'll be right back," Willow said before leaving the room.

'Not good. Very not good,' Buffy told herself. She got up and
started to walk to the door when she stopped herself.

She had to allow Willow her privacy.

She had to.

So she went back to the bed and sat back down...

For all of ten seconds...

Then she ran towards the door and flung it open.

She was about to give chase when she was stopped by the body she
ran into. The collision knocked them both to the ground. Buffy
managed to shake off the surprise and was back on her feet when
she looked at who she had run into.

"Umm... hi."

"Tara?" she said, offering her hand to the fallen girl. "Are you
okay?"

"Yeah... fine, no harm done," she replied, moving her hair from
her face.

"Did you see Willow?" Buffy asked, going out into the hall and
looking both ways. No signs of the hacker.

"Nn... no. Is she okay?"

She sighed, "Yeah, I think," she replied. "Was there something
you needed?" she asked.

"No... not really. I... I just wanted to..." she stopped.

Buffy stepped closer to Tara, "What Tara. What did you want?"
she asked, standing very close to the other blonde.

"I... I... just wanted to see you," she stammered.

"And now that you've seen me?"

Tara blushed and looked away, until she felt Buffy's fingertips
on her chin, making her look up.

"And now that you've seen me?" she repeated, loving the way
Tara's skin felt. "What is it that you want Tara?"

"A... a.. kiss," she whispered, closing her eyes as Buffy
continued to caress her face.

"I think that can be arranged," Buffy answered, bringing Tara
inside the room and closing the door behind them. Buffy leaned
forward, gently guiding Tara back against the door, she let her
thumb trace Tara's full lips, her own moistening in
anticipation. "Do you still want that kiss?" she asked, knowing
full well what the answer would be.

"Ye.. yes," Tara replied, her hand slowly moving up the Slayer's
body, feeling the other girl shiver, making her smile inwardly.
Her hand finally found its way into Buffy's soft hair, and
brought the other girl closer. "I want," she said before her
lips covered Buffy's.

At first, it was just a simple act of skin pressing against
skin, until someone moaned, indicating that they wanted so much
more than just that. So, lips parted, and tongues delved into
each others mouths, sliding against one another. Hands tangled
in hair, struggling to keep the other from moving as their
passion threatened to ignite into an uncontrolled fire.

After a minute or so, they broke apart, not wanting to, only the
fact that their lungs were starved for oxygen made them. Buffy
breathing heavily, looked into Tara's eyes and could see a
barely restrained desire burning inside them.

"That's was nice," Tara ventured, her heart beginning to return
to its normal pace.

"Nice is good," Buffy nodded in reply. Pushing herself away from
Tara, she took her hand and led them back into the room, towards
her bed. "Sitting... nothing else. Okay, maybe some more
kissing," she explained, when she saw Tara's eyes widen as she
realized where they were heading.

"Wha... what about Willow?" she said as they finally reached
Buffy's bed and sat down next to each other.

"I'm not sure. It isn't everyday that you tell your best friend
that you're getting serious with someone from her Wicca group,"
Buffy replied.

"Do... do you think she'll be okay?"

"She has Oz. I'm sure she'll talk to him about it. I love
Willow, she's my best bud, and I... don't want to lose her. But,
I think in the end, it'll be, 'what makes me happy, makes her
happy' kind of a thing."

"And... I.. I make you happy?" Tara asked, needing to know the
answer.

"Very much so," Buffy replied seriously. Buffy felt a flutter in
her stomach as she watched the smile grow on Tara's face.

She couldn't believe her luck. She would continue to thank
whoever had placed this adorable woman in her life. It was a
simple meeting, a locking of eyes that made her know that Tara
was more than what she seemed, and would some how become a very
important person in her life.

Willow had brought Tara over after one of their meetings, and
that was all it took.

Now she only hoped that Willow would not shut her out, or treat
Tara any differently. What was she going to tell the others?

"Penny for your thoughts," Tara said as she'd seen Buffy drift
off to parts unknown.

"Hmm?"

"You seemed so far away."

"It might have seemed that way, but you were always in my
thoughts," Buffy replied.

Tara looked into Buffy's eyes and could see the truth of her
words. And needing no invitation, she bent forward and captured
her lips again. She broke the kiss before it could escalate into
something they weren't ready for yet. Their foreheads touched
and they held on to each other. They looked at the door when it
opened. Willow came inside with a determined look on her face,
Buffy swallowed audibly.

"If you hurt her, I will take a shovel to you and beat you over
the head with it. Do you understand?" Willow said.

"I..."

"Not you Buffy... Tara," Willow said, stopping Buffy's answer.

"Sorry," she replied.

"No... it's good for you to know too. So, do we have an
understanding Tara?"

Tara nodded her head vigorously.

"Good. Now, Buffy, if you hurt her, you know I can't physically
do anything to you... but... I can guilt you to death," she said
seriously before continuing. "I like Tara, she's not like the
rest of those 'blessed wanna bes'. So, you do good by her, yes?"

"Yes."

"Good... now, let's go Bronzing. I want to tell Xander," Willow
said.

"You are evil," Buffy told her.

"I only use my power for good... never bad."

Buffy looked at Tara and before she could say anything, kissed
her. "You're in," she whispered.

The End.
