FF: Nights in a bar (3/?)

["sgc58" <Lindcrich@xxxxxxx>]

TITLE: Nights in a bar (3/?)
AUTHOR: SGC58
DISCLAIMER: All characters belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. I 
don't own anything.  
SUMMARY: An AU fic.  Buffy never moved to Sunnydale and there was no 
Hellmouth, so the world still turns.  A mysterious blonde enters the 
life of Willow as she works in a bar to make extra money while she's 
at collage.
SPOILERS: Don't think there's anything except general background 
stuff.
FEEDBACK: Yes please, with a stake and a crossbow on top.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is my first Buffy fic so any advice on how well 
I've done the characters would be greatly received also this is my 
first fight scene, hope it's not too bad. .  This is completely AU 
but takes place half way through Willows second year at collage, so 
say mid S-5 for ages and such. I want to apologize for the delay 
between parts.




The bar was dead.  The fast dance music, which usually mirrored the 
mood of the customers, only served to highlight the lack of 
activity.  Willow took the opportunity to read one of her course 
books.  It was dry and complicated stuff so she didn't notice the 
customer until they touched her arm.  Willow jumped back almost three 
feet from the shock.

"Sorry to scare you gorgeous," said a brunette with a smile.

"Jennifer, what are you doing here?" asked Willow a smile on her face 
at the sight of her girlfriend, she did here best to ignore the bite 
of disappointment that it wasn't a blonde she was talking to.

"I'm on my way home from work and I though I'd ask if you wanted to 
come to the apartment tonight, Sally's going to be out?" asked 
Jennifer with a seductive look.

"I'd love to, but I've got a test tomorrow and I need to study.  
Sorry."

"It's okay, I know how important collage is to you."  Before Willow 
could answer Jennifer quickly lunged in and kissed the redhead.  
Willow's brain turned to mush as she became intoxicated with passion, 
but a small traitorous voice whispered `I whish this hair was 
blonde.' "That's so you don't forget about me," said Jennifer as she 
pulled away smiling.

Willow didn't look up while her girlfriend left, her head still 
spinning from the kiss and the guilt slowly leaking into her stomach. 

"If that wasn't your girlfriend then I've got blackmail material for 
the next decade."

Willows head snapped up at the sound of the familiar voice and she 
wasn't disappointed by what she saw.  Buffy was standing under a 
spotlight, a halo like glow around her hair, wearing her trademark 
smirk.

"No you don't because that was my girlfriend, her names Jennifer."

"Good looking girl," said Buffy as she walked forward.

"What happened to you!"  Willow's voice echoed around the empty bar.  
Buffy silently cursed her stupidity; the wounds from the fight 
against the howler demon were still visible. The thought of having to 
lie to willow again revolted her, but she had no choice.

"Calm down it's nothing.  I was doing some training and I slipped and 
hit my head.  I'm fine really."

"Are you sure?" Willow's concern and doubt ripped at Buffy's heart, 
the reason for which she would not think about.

"I'm sure.  Is it okay for us to talk or do you want me to come back 
when it's less busy."

"It's a Wednesday night, and we close in a few hours.  What did you 
expect?"

"A huge crowd of drunk students, but I like it just now even if I 
have been in cemeteries with more life in them," said Buffy thinking 
that she was probably the only person who could say that without it 
being a joke.  

"I'm sure they'll be back by Friday, so I'm afraid just have to put 
up with my poor company."  Willow did here best to keep her voice 
level, but she was sure some of her fear of Buffy leaving leaked out.

"Are you kidding?  I don't think I've ever liked this place so much." 
Buffy ended her reply with one of her carefully hoarded smiles.

"Can I get you anything?"

"Just a beer, please," and a large portion of what the brunette was 
getting, thought Buffy.  Don't think like that, it could never end 
well and she's just a friend. `Of course she is, that's why you had 
that dream last night,' mocked her subconscious.

Willow handed Buffy her beer and watched the blonde for a few moments.

"What do I have something in my hair?" asked Buffy noticing Willow's 
gaze.

"It really doesn't freak you out, that I like girls."

"Not in the least, I'm a little hurt that you didn't feel like you 
could tell me." Buffy was busy cursing her self to hell for being 
such a hypocrite, and if Willow didn't stop looking like that, then 
she wouldn't be responsible for her actions.  

"Sorry, what about you.  Do you have anyone special?" asked Willow 
wondering what sort of person could attract Buffy's attention and 
break through all the barriers the blonde woman had.   

"Not really.  My last boyfriend got a little obsessive at the end.  
It was pretty ugly when it finished."  

They talked away the next few hours, Willow becoming uncomfortable 
warm in the empty bar.  Being so close to Buffy was affecting her and 
the sexual tension had grown so high she could almost taste it.

It was affecting Buffy as well.  Too many fantasies were running 
through her mind and it was taking all her will power not to jump 
over the bar and find out what Willow tasted like.  Willow wasn't 
looking at her, she leap the bar and have her hands on Willows body 
before the red head knew she had moved.  The she could spin 
her `round and taste those sweet lips.  The bar seemed sturdy enough 
that it could support both their weights.

"Buffy, what you doing?"

The voice brought Buffy out of her head and back to reality.  Buffy 
realized she was standing on her stool pushing down on the bar top, 
testing its strength.  Buffy felt a heat creep up her face and hoping 
Willow wouldn't notice the blush coloring her cheeks.

"I Just wanted to see how strong the bar was."  Buffy's tone of voice 
made the act seem the most normal thing in the world.

"Why?" Willow was getting more confused by the second.

`Because I want to throw you on top of it and do things to you until 
you scream in passion.'  While it was a true answer Buffy knew she 
couldn't say it.  "It was just a random though," said Buffy out loud.

"Are you okay?" asked Willow becoming concerned by the flushed cheeks 
and the odd pauses in Buffy's speech.  Willow leaned over the bar, 
giving Buffy a good view down her top, and put her hand on Buffy's 
fore head.  "You feel like hot."

"I'm fine just a bit of a cold," Buffy really hoped Willow would 
believe her.  Buffy's composure was rapidly crumbling, she had 
actually squeaked when Willows hand had touched her.

"Ok, if you say so.  I hate to do this, but I've got to close up," 
said Willow noticing the time. She didn't think Buffy was telling the 
truth, but she was a little afraid to press for answers.

"I'll give you a hand then I'll walk you home."

"Buffy you rally don't have to do that."

"I'll sleep beater knowing your safe," said Buffy with a smile.  
Willow could think of nothing to say so simply smiled back.
