I love it! I need it! I got to have it! definitely let me know if you are interested in the story! Summary- Tara is the instructor of an art class Willow is attending...should be interesting huh? Notes... No Angst in this one guys...completely fluff for those of you that are reading A Different Life...(are there any?) don't worry, I just needed a break from the angst for a bit so I thought I'd try my hand at something lighter. I Will definitely still be updating ADL for those of you that are interested...so no worries right? anyway here we go Enjoy! Buffy where in the world are you? You were supposed to meet me here 25 minutes ago! Class is about to start. Willow spoke into the tiny cell phone. I just dont have anything to go with a smock Willyou understand dont you? What? You dont have to wear the smock Buffy! Willow argued, trying to keep her voice down. But everyone else will be wearing a smockI dont want to be the only one without a smock. Wellhow can I argue with logic like that? Willow said, sighing. Look Buffy, Id better go, class is about to start. Ill talk to you later ok? After assuring Buffy that she wasnt angry with her. Even though, secretly she was fuming, she would never tell Buffy that of course. Willow just wasnt the confrontational type, but she was awfully good at being irritated at Buffy without Buffy actually being there. Willow thought back to how just two weeks ago her best friend had begged herpleaded with herbrought up embarrassing childhood memories and threatened to go public with them how shed done absolutely everything in her power to get Willow to take this adult art class with her Theyd signed up together for God sake! Yes indeed Im mad! Im maddy mad mad. Willow muttered under her breath. Willow walked into the large classroom literally cursing Buffys name. Okay maybe she wasnt cursing her name exactly but she was definitely defiling it. <Ill drag it through the mud!> She thought smugly. Willow flashed a little smile to herself at the thought of Buffys name all dirty and torn, with weeds growing out of it. Willow was so busy with her own musings that she failed to see the beautiful blonde woman standing in front of her. Um.Hello? Willow looked up clearly embarrassed that someone had been witness to her patented Willow babble and her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Standing before her was the most gorgeous woman shed ever seen in all of her 26 years. <Wowshes so beautiful.oh uhsay something you spazshes waiting for you to say something! Think of something wittycant manage that? Okaysay something stupid! Just say something will you!?> Willow willed her mouth to move and form words but the cord that connected her brain to her mouth must have been severed because all she could manage was a couple of muffled gurgling noises. Hi.are you alright? The blonde goddess inquired. <Oh my god! Shes still hereand you havent said a thing! Say something right now!> Willow thought, panicing. YeahUh I mean yesyes Im finegreat in factfabulous even Willow rambled, unable to stop herself. <Fabulous?!> Oh great I sound like an idiot. Willow silently kicked herself for being such a dork. SoWhat can I do you for?....Do for you! Willow corrected herself quickly, after realizing her use of insinuating vocabulary. Willow laughed nervously. Oh uh The Goddess blushed. <Shes waving a pencil at me.> Willow mentally drooled at the sight of the goddesses creamy white armThen her brain finally decided to kick in<Shes waving a pencil at me?> Pencil sharpener... The goddess said, gesturing next to Willow. Willow looked down at her hand, which happened to be resting on one such pencil sharpener. Willow immediately snatched her hand away from it, and stepped to the side. The blonde smiled sweetly and inserted her pencil. Hi, Im Tara. She said extending her hand to Willow. Willow Willow replied placing her own hand into Taras. I like your nameIts um my favorite kind of tree. Tara smiled. They were still holding hands, and it was absolutely unnerving Willow to no end. You taking the class? Tara inquired. YesI love art! Willow blurted out. Blushing, Willow took note of the fact that Tara still hadnt taken her hand away yet. Im glad, arts important. Tara spoke softly. <I could get lost in your blue eyes and never even care if I found my way out.> This is what Willow thought. But this is what Willow said. Yepyes sir-E art is good. Class is about to start. We should. Tara motion toward the center of the room where about 24 easels were set along long desks. Right Willow reluctantly withdrew her hand from Taras. The two women smiled nervously at each other then parted ways. Willow made her way through the moderately small group of mostly women and chose an easel near the back. <No use flaunting my untalented artistic abilities.> She reasoned with herself. Willow glanced around the room looking for Tara, but she didnt see her. Frowning, she began the task of organizing her paintby color of course. Okay everybody, my names Tara Maclay and Ill be your instructor for this course. Willows head shot up at the sound of the familiar voice, her eyes going immediately to the front of the room. And there, to her surprise, looking directly at her was Tara. I think I could learn to appreciate art. Willow said quietly to herself.

I Will definitely still be updating ADL for those of you that are interested...so no worries right? anyway here we go Enjoy! ************************************ As Tara took her place in front of the class, she couldnt help but think back to the awkward exchange shed had near the pencil sharpener with the red head. <I dont know why I was so nervous talking to herIt was probably just first class jittersyeahthats what it was.> Tara then took note that the red head <Willow> she reminded herself , had situated herself near the rear of the room, and seemed to be carefully arranging her paint tubes. <probably by color> Tara thought. Hi my names Tara Maclay and Ill be your instructor for this course. Tara informed the room full of people. Seeing Willow look up at her, Tara shyly adverted her eyes, instead looking at a woman in the front row sporting a stylish Beehive hairdo. Through the course of the two hour class Tara had more than once found herself sneaking glances at Willow from across the room.<Okaythis is going to be funhow are you going to teach the class how to paint anything if you cant stop ogling people. No, not ogling people as in plural, more than onebut more likeperson....as in one woman in particular.> Tara corrected herself. Tara glanced at her watch. <Class is almost up.> She noticed. Tara hadnt saved Willow for last purposefully. Thats just the way it happened, since the red head had sat so far back. And now Tara was more than curious to see Willows painting style, She couldnt picture the red head as being too terribly artistic though, even from a distance Tara could see from the way Willow held her paintbrush; in that too tight; rigid; grippy kinda way that perfectionists have a tendency to do. <More book smart then art savvy Im betting,> but she was curious none the less. To say that Willow was obsessing would be putting it lightly, if truth be told she was so busy watching Tara that she only half knew what she was pretending to be so immersed in painting. As the blonde made her way around to each person, Willow noticed how she would adjust a paint brush in someones hand or comment on the context of what they were painting. The first assignment Tara had given the class was to paint something that interested them. Willow had decided on a Willow Tree because the blond had said it was her favorite kind of tree. Willow knew that Tara was probably just being nice by saying that she liked Willows name<you know as opposed to WowWillow huh? Thats a weird name.> In any event, Willow had found the clich passive/romantic gesture too good an opportunity to pass up. <Shes coming this way.> Willow looked anxiously at the Tree thing all smooshy and unapologetic in its ookyness, just laying there mashed into the canvas. <Its awful.I cant possibly let Tara see it.quickstand in front of it!....thats it.just stand there in front of the canvas, casually obstructing her view..here she comesnow smile! > Willow smiled. <Not all 32 teeth at one time Willow.> she admonished herself, instantly toning it down to an unoffending amount of pearly whites. <Wouldnt want to frighten her away.> Willow watched out of the corner of her eye as Tara approached her from the right. Willows pulse quickening, she upped her perpetration, Holding the paint brush stiffly between shaking fingers, Willow managed a few awkward brush strokes against the canvas, just as Tara came to stand beside her. Hi again Hi there Willow said, placing her backside in front of the canvas. Whatcha got there? Tara asked, seeing that Willow had planted herself seemingly permanently in front of the canvas. Tara was amused when Willow resorted to meeting her step for step as she tried to peer around Willows body in order to get a look at the painting. <She seems to be doing that on purpose..> Tara thought. Coming to the conclusion that Willow definitely didnt want her too see the painting right now, Tara ceased her attempt at catching a peek. This seamed to calm the red head down and she appeared to relax a bit <At least her shoulders have come to their normal resting place under her head instead of up level with her ears.> Tara was glad to see. Itsuhnothing reallyIts not ready I mean Willow mumbled as she packed the canvas into the leather portfolio shed bought just for this class. Willow didnt even notice that the paint was still wet and was currently sticking to the inside of the very expensive case. <Get yourself under control man!> Willow told herself. Tara didnt know why, but this red head definitely intrigued her. There was something sweet in the way her nose wrinkled as she fumbled to put the wet canvas into her carrying bag. <Maybe shes not doing anything tonight> Tara wandered. <Who am I kiddingshe probably has a boyfriend waiting outside for her right now in his shiny black BMW> Tara concluded. <A beautiful girl like her wouldnt be single thats for sure.>Tara thought, deciding to drop the subject for now. <Why dont you just ask her out for coffee Willow? You know you want togo onjust do itwhats the worst that could happen?She could be allergic to coffeebut shell go out with me anyway just to be nice and then shell probably get really sick and have to go to the hospitalshe would have to stay for days because the caffeine had poisoned her blood streamthen she would loose her job teaching because of all the missed daysand it would be all my fault?> Willow rambled. <oh would you just do it already?> Tara?...Would you like to. Willow was about ask Tara if shed care to chance her supposed allergy to caffeinated beverages, when she happened to look down and see a silver ring gracing Taras left hand. <Abort..! Ring spotted on left phalange!> Willow stopped mid sentence. Willow..? Tara questioned softly when Willow had stopped in mid-question. Would you like toshare this piece of gum with me? Willow said pulling a stick of gum from the pocket of her skirt and offering it to Tara. <Nothing like drowning your disappointment in a piece of Hubba Bubba> Willow thought gloomily. Gum?Id love some. Tara said Taking the offered half and popping it into her mouth. Mmm. Chewy Tara said as she rolled the piece of gum around her mouth with her tongue. <She may not be single.But she can definitely work a piece of gum thats for sure.> Willow thought to herself. Tara felt Willows eyes on her as she chewed the piece of strawberry flavored gum. Not knowing what else to do Tara started to blow a bubble. It started out fine but as it became mid-sized Tara could sense the elastic walls stretching to their limits <Its time to pull this baby in.> Tara told herself as she started to bring her lips around the pink protrusion but before she could suck the air out of the bubble, it successfully popped. Tara was mortified to say the least, she had been showing off for Willow but it had blown up in her face <Literally.> Little itty bitty sticky pieces of chewed gum were currently stuck to Taras lips. She chuckled, softly as she self consciously scrubbed at the mess Willow had never seen anyone so beautiful as Tara was, standing before her with gum all over her lips. Willow couldnt help it as slim fingers made their way to Taras bottom lip, Cupping the side of her soft face Willow used her thumb to scrub at a piece of strawberry stickys. Seeing the look on Tara's face brought Willow swiftly to her senses though as she apologetically withdrew her hand from its soft resting place. Tara felt her cheeks flush as Willows warm hand came to rest against her skin. <Wow> Tara fought the urge to turn her lips into Willows palm. Unmoving she stood there as Willows thumb came into contact with her bottom lip. But no sooner than it happened it subsequently ended. Im sorryI.didntI meanI should probably. Willow stuttered, picking up her things, she started to back away from the blonde, toward the door. Gorightyes.me too Tara said, Her skin still felt warm where Willow had touched her. Goodnight Willow said, turning the knob in her hand. Willow? Tara called out softly. Are you coming back next week? She finished, wishing with all her might that the red head would say yes. Willow knew that she should say no<It would be less complicated that way.> But against everything she knew in her head Willow followed her heart. Ill be back. Willow nearly whispered, so low she thought Tara hadnt heard her. Turning she exited out the door. Tara had heard her thoughShes coming back... she whispered to herself feeling warmed by the thought of seeing Willow again. Tara grabbed her stuff off the desk, turning the light off, she left the room.

That's so cute and I can really picture them doing that. Loved Willow trying to hide her artwork and Tara respecting her feelings enough not to push -- aaahh the sweetness of Tara. And so cute with the gum, to just laugh and go with it, not to mention have a cutie help you get it off. You know what I mean. But, what's with the silver ring on the left phalange. I'm hoping it's possibly like a family heirloom and just happens that's the finger it fits? Oh well, guess I'll just have to try my best to be patient to find out, and I know you won't disappoint!! More soon please! Wimpy

Tara as an art teacher, that's perfect casting - Tara as an artist just feels so right. Willow's reactions are so 'Willow', if you know what I mean - sweet and geeky. Shoving a wet painting into her bag, yup, that's Willow all right I hope she and Tara manage to spend some more time together soon, and we can find out what the story is behind that ring - I'm curious big time. I don't know if Tara will have any success teaching her art though, some people just don't have the knack Doesn't mean she can't be artistic in her own way though. I'd like to host this on Through the Looking-glass (alia.customer.netspace.net.au/glass.htm) if you'd like? If you'd like an email address to go on it, for feedback, you can contact me at alia@netspace.net.au Thanks for writing, and here's to more

I Will definitely still be updating ADL for those of you that are interested...so no worries right? ********** chapter 3 Im sorry for blowing that class off last week Will... Buffy said, apologizing for the thousandth time. Ohbelieve me when I say Buffy.Its really fine. Willow spoke as she threw another outfit onto the bed. She had been in a good kind of nervous stupor all week in anticipation of tonights class. Willow hadnt told Buffy, or any of her friends for that matter about Tara, because she wasnt really sure what she was going to do yet <I meanthe girl had a ring on her fingershes married.Its as clear aswellthe ring on her finger.> Willow grumbled audibly at the thought of some big, greasy man hunk putting his natty paws all over Taras body. Buffy didnt believe Willow when she said she wasnt mad <The girls obviously madI mean look at her> Buffy thought as she watched Willow digging around frantically in her closet. <Hmm.Shes probably trying to find something to go with that ugly smock> Look Willhow about if I go with you this time. Buffy offered not really wanting to go but, still feeling guilty about having stood her best friend up. Still in the closet, Willow practically smacked her head on the shelf directly above her when she heard Buffys offer to accompany her tonight. <She cant goI cant show up tonight with another woman>Willow worried, as she tried to think of something that would discourage Buffy from coming. Then the perfect Idea came to her. Oh sure Buffyyoud really like it I thinkthere are tons of women there and. here, this shirt will really highlight the beautiful colors in your smock. Willow said, tossing a fuzzy pink shirt over to Buffy. <Bingo!> Willow watched as Buffy picked up the offending material, holding it out in front of her for examination. Tons of women huh? No guys?.... And this.fuzzy pink number.?....That sounds.fun will Buffy said unconvincinglyHey! I have a great Idea why dont you blow off that class and come to my house insteadWe could rent a movie...And you can even choose the movie this time. Buffy said using her Its going to be the Best time ever voice. Thats okay Buffyou know how I am about attendance Willow said finally coming out of the closet and stepping over to the bed to choose an outfit. Yeah.remember in college when you had the flu and still went to class? Buffy reminded her best friend. I had a test Willow poutily defended herself. Will.All Im saying ismaybe you should just lighten up once in a while. I am light.as a feather in factfeather like. Okayokayokay Buffy said holding her hands up in a show of surrender. She was sure there was something going on with her friend, but Buffy didnt want to push her into talking about it. What do you think? Willow said quickly taking the opportunity to change the subject. She picked up a brown corduroy skirt up off the bed and held it out for Buffys inspection. Its nice. Buffy shrugged. UGHH Willow groaned, going back into the walk in closet. <there was no way she was going to show up tonight lookingnice> Will? Your phone is ringing... Buffy called in to the red head. Let the machine get it. Willow replied. She really didnt have time to talk to anyone. <BesidesIts probably just Xander. Ill call him back when I get home this evening.> Looking at the clock on the dresser, willow started to panic. <Im going to be late! No your not. Calm downyou have twenty minutes Willowput something on; drop Buffy home; then race like hell to get to class. > Feeling better at having formed a plan, Willow grabbed a long sleeve low-cut top off the bed and threw on a pair of jeans. <So much for the sexy look.> Willow frowned at her appearance, but she really didnt have time to do anything about it. Okay lets go. Willow said rushing out her bedroom door. Sighing Willow noticed that Buffy had not followed her out of the room. Turning around she poked her head back in through the doorway. Come on Buffy! Willow shouted, hoping to spur her friend into action, who she saw was still sitting on the bed reading a magazine shed found on the floor. Im coming The blonde said, getting up off the bed, Hey will can I take this with me? Buffy asked indicating the magazine in her hand. Theres a very interesting article on. But Buffy didnt have a chance to finish her sentence because Willow was literally pushing her toward the front door. <geeze shes strong.> Buffy thought. As she stumbled forward, her foot caught on the answering machine cord, pulling it from the wall. The flashing number, indicating Willow had a message went blank. Willyour message. But by that time Willow was already getting in her car and glaring impatiently at Buffy. <Whatever.shes losing it.> Buffy concluded, silently getting into the car. Buckle up Buffy Willow suggested a second before she put the Petal to the metal so to speak. They sped down the street, Buffy holding onto the dashboard for dear life<Nopeshes already lost it.> The blonde corrected herself. ********** Tara fiddled nervously with the little silver ring her grandmother had given her four years ago as a college graduation present. She had come into work a little earlier than usual this evening and had discovered that the power for the whole building was out. <Wellthats just perfect.> Tara told herself. Normally she wouldnt have bothered to call any of the students, But she happened to have the registry right there in front of herso she picked up the phone, relieved that it still worked. Taras fingers started to tingle as she ran them down the listlooking for one number in particular<There it isWillow Rosenberg777-3465> Tara repeated to herself. Dialing the number she waited for Willow to pick up. The answering machine came on Hi.this is Tara.MaClayfrom art class. Tara tried not to let the disappointment show in her voice. Anywayit seems that theres a problem with the power and I have to cancel class tonight. I hope to see you next time Tara allowed her words to linger in the air for a moment before placing the receiver back into its cradle. After calling everyone else on the list, Tara decided to write a note for the couple people who she hadnt been able to reach. Tara found a sheet of paper, and in the dark wrote the other students a general note letting them know that class would be on for next week. Tara gathered her purse and went out into the hall, she taped the note to the wooden door. Tara placed her forehead against the door, allowing the feelings of frustration to wash over her. Shed waited all week to see Willow again and now she would have to go through another week of waiting. <Life can be cruel sometimes.> Tara sighed heavily not yet finding the strength to pull away from the coolness of the door. <Its probably better this way anyway.> She thought, but unable to convince herself of that deep down inside. Tara had felt a spark that night last week when Willow had touched her and she hadnt been able to get the red head out of her thoughts since. Not even thinking she might have a boyfriend was enough to loosen the grip Willow had unknowingly on her heart. Tara was still lost in thought when she felt a soft touch on her shoulder. She turned around and was surprised to see Willow standing right there in front of her. Tara felt her heart beat speed up, causing a fluttering sensation in her chest. Willowhi.. Tara said, surprise evident in her voice. Hi Willow smiled shyly. Its kinda dark in here Willow said. <In no way is that is a bad thing though.> She thought. Actually the lack of light helped to ease her nerves a little. Its apower thingYou didnt get my message? Taras words trailed off , leaving them in silence. <of course she didn't get your message...> Tara realized. Willow shook her head. <That must have been Tara who called this evening.> She thought. She wasnt sad that shed missed Taras call though.If she had picked up the phone she wouldnt have gotten the chance to see her at all tonight. The large skylights above them allowed the natural light from the moon and stars to shine down on the blonde. <She looks beautiful bathed in moonlight.> Willows eyes caressed Taras face. Ifyou wantwe could still have classI meanIm free if you are She held her breath waiting for Willow to answer. Just the two of us. Tara added. Unable to look Willow in the eye, she lowered her eyes to the floor, examining the redheads shoes. Willow waited for Tara to look up again before answering. Id really like that She replied, throwing caution to the wind. <Big, smelly husband be dammed!> Willow was surprised by her own very bold thoughts. We could.go to my placeI meanif you want Tara suggested, certain that Willow would reject this idea. Alright.. Willow smiled uncertainly, The protection of darkness still fueling her confidence. The two women smiled at each other. Neither knowing, what the other was feeling. Tara picked her bag up off the floor and the women headed out into the night.
