Getting To Know Each Other (Willow)

She felt bad that Lenore had to go through all that hell back in the day with her family, it just wasn’t fair at all. So it was safe to say that Lenore had been through a lot of hell in her life, something else they have in common that should make for more they can talk about. Not that they didn’t all ready have a lot they could chat about, there was so much about each other they had in common. Willow couldn’t quit smiling at her, she really could see herself falling hard for her. She hoped that she felt the same way for her.

She loved how understanding yet compassionate she was, she made Willow feel so happy and not so down anymore. She was just what she needed to bring up her spirits, which lately she could use a lot of. Times had really be tough and stressful for the gang, it seemed like something was always going on. One thing after another, it really will be nice when ever they have taken care of her once and for all. They wont have to watch themselves so much around every turn, and Dawn wont have to stay at home as much.

Willow couldn’t help but notice how shy she became whenever she said she wanted to see her again, she was so cute the way she grinned. It made her happy knowing that she was excited to be seeing more of Willow. A walk was just what they needed to catch up a bit more on things, plus they could go through the park which would be a bit more private then here. This place was starting to get pretty busy as time went on. “Well yeah I could show you around here a bit more, I know my way around here pretty good.” She told her. Willow then got up putting out her hand to take hers. “Shall we?” After they took hand they were on there way out of the coffee shop.

After revealing more about her life, Lenore found herself growing silent. She couldn't believe she had just told Willow all of that. She hadn't told anybody those things before---not even Eli. So what was it about this woman that made the vampire want to tell her everything? Maybe it was just the fact that Willow was so easy to talk to and seemed to know where she was coming from. She had to admit, it felt pretty good to be able bear her soul---so to speak---with someone. Oh, sure she could talk with Eli and the others, but sometimes it was just good to have someone who hadn't been with you for the last fifty or a hundred years. Unfortunately---until now at least---she hadn't really had that kind of opportunity. But now it would seem that her luck was changing.

Lenore grinned once more as Willow agreed to show her around. Yes! I get to spend more time with her! she thought. And that had been the whole point of her request: to prolong their day together and to get to know Willow more and more. She couldn't deny that she wanted to know as much about Willow as she could learn. And hopefully, Willow felt the same way about her, which it seemed like she did, but Lenore didn't want to get too ahead of herself as she had gotten herself in trouble that way before. Then again, the vampire doubted that she and her companion would get into trouble on a walk.
"Great," she proclaimed, standing up and resisting the urge to jump up and down. If she did that, it would most certainly garner the attention of other people and that was the last thing she wanted. "We shall," she agreed, grabbing the other woman's hand and then attempted to match the woman's stride. As she did so, Lenore couldn't help the grin that curved her features. If she was still alive, her beat would definitely be beating like crazy right now...

She couldn’t wait to go on a walk with just her and Lenore, she liked her so much and just wanted to get to know her as much as she could. Plus it was turning into a beautiful night outside, a great night to talk a walk alone. Which was just what she wanted with her, some alone time just the two of them. Just them and the stars and moon in the sky, it really was going to be so romantic. Willow just hopes she don’t see anyone that she knows, this night is just about them

Lenore was just as excited as Willow was she could tell, she wanted to see around Richmond a little bit more and Willow was going to show it to her. She had just the place that she wanted to take her to, she knew she was just going to love it. They begin making there way out of the shop and on to the street, walking along passing some of the shops along the street. “So have you checked out any of the shops we have here in town yet?” Willow asked her. “We have a great magic shop here in town I will have to take you to, you will just love it! I go there all the time to get stuff I need, as a matter of fact I need to head there soon. You will have to come with.”

Willow begin walking Lenore through the park, she knew that she was just going to love it. It was the nicest park and had some pretty places that they could sit and talk. She knew that it would be very Romantic for them, sitting right by lake looking at the stars. It was going to be so perfect. “It really nice in the park at this time of night, I think you will like it.” She told her. “So what kind of stuff do you do for fun then? I mean being a vampire I’m guessing you are out at night a lot.”

From what she could tell, Willow was just as excited as she was about spending more time together and the vampire looked around at the shops. They all looked pretty cool, but at the moment, she didn't have any particular desire to go in any of them. Then she realized Willow was talking and focused on her words and then shook her head at the question of whether or not she had checked out any of the shops yet.
"No, I just checked into the hotel and met up with who I was supposed to," she replied and then listened as the other woman told her about a magic shop in town. "Yeah, that sounds cool. I mean, I try not to mess with magic too much, but it'd be probably be good to be informed about what it could do and stuff," she replied to the invitation.

As they walked through the park, Lenore couldn't help but look around. It was really pretty and it gave out a sense of tranquility. She liked that. It was something she craved sometimes. Almost as if Willow was thinking the same thing, she stated that the park was pretty at night and that Lenore would probably like it and then asked her what she liked to do and that she was most likely out at night a lot.
"Yeah I would, and when I'm not in the middle of a hunt, I actually like to work. I've had a lot of different jobs and I like to sing, read, listen to music, stuff like that," she answered. "And actually, I can be out and about in the day---the sun just acts like a sunburn," she continued. She really was lucky compared to most vampires. She knew that there were some other vampires that couldn't be out in the sun, which really blew. She would've gone crazy by now if she couldn't be out in the sun if she wanted to. Sure it hurt a bit, but at least she had the choice, which was a lot more than most of her kind could say.

Willow did feel bad that Lenore had been staying at a motel, all it was is a waste of money. Willow didn’t like that she wanted a reason for her to stay in town longer with her, so maybe the best thing she could do is stay with Willow. “You know you are welcome to stay with me whenever you like, I know that staying in motels can be pricey I’m sure my roomies wouldn’t care.” She told her with a smile hoping she take her up on it, but then again she didn’t want to sacred her off by going to fast. She knew that asking someone to stay with you was a big step, but she just couldn’t help it she liked her so much.

She could understand if she didn’t mess with magic to much, it wasn’t a force to be reckon with. Only those that fully understand should practice it, it isn’t easy to learn and it did take Willow a while to get the hang out it. As a matter of fact she never would have gotten a full hang of it if it wasn’t for Tara, just another thing she has from her that she will always keep.

Willow loved getting to hear all that she has done, it really was interesting to find out more about her.. She had done more then Willow has that for sure and singing, reading music so not her thing ever. But getting to hear her going on in the sun like that didn’t sound like fun, getting burned was not cool. Willow knew that she was would have to make her a special daylight ring, it would make for a great gift for her. She couldn’t wait till her give it to her. For now

Willow had something else for her, She was taken her to some place special, a gazebo that was right over the lake in the park. She knew that Lenore would love it, it really did have a pretty view. She knew that she would love it “I have to show you something you will love it, follow me.” She lead her hand taking her to it. There it was right over the lake, she couldn’t wait to see what she though of it. “Well pretty right?” Asked her

Lenore flashed Willow a smile when she offered to let the vampire stay with her as long as she wanted as motels could be pricey and that she was sure that her roommate wouldn't mind. Hmm...that's something to think about. I'm not really sure how much longer my cash will last and I don't really want to touch my accounts right now, she thought.
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind," she said. It sounded like a good idea as she didn't really know how long she'd be in town and she didn't exactly have a lot of cash on her. If she stayed any longer, she'd have to get cash somehow and she didn't really like touching her accounts unless she absolutely had to. So Willow's offer was definitely tempting. But she'd have to wait and see how much longer she'd be in town for. But it was starting to look like it'd be a while, so maybe she needed to start loooking for a bit of permanent "temporary" residence. She let out a snort. A permanent "temporary" residence. Talk about an oxy-moron. But that still didn't change her dilemma. She had a lot to do in order to help Stefan with his bloodlust. Not that she was going to tell this to Willow. She didn't know the woman very well and besides, it wasn't any of her business.

Then, she let out a noise of interest when the other woman said that she had something she wanted to show her and the vampire followed her. She could sense her excitement and in turn, it was making her excited.
"What is it?" she questioned, as the other woman took her hand and walked for a while. Whatever it is, it's probably something really neat if it makes her this excited, she thought to herself. When they finally stopped, Lenore could see a gazebo and a lake. "Wow," she breathed. This was really pretty. She couldn't believe something like this was here. Oh my goodness. This is---wow, she thought to herself. There wasn't much else she could think of to describe what she was thinking. "It's amazing. How'd you find it?" she wondered in an awe-filled voice.

She hoped that she really was going to keep that in mind, it really would be nice if they got to see each other more. But again Willow worried she was going to fast for her, but she liked her so much this slow thing really was hard for Willow. Which was freaking Willow out she is known for having control, but for some reason when she is around Lenore she just wants to lose it. There is just something about being around her that drives her wild, it was a feeling that Willow loved and wanted to feel more of. “Ok good you keep that in mind and let me know, like I said I know everyone is going to love you.” She told her.

Willow could tell that she was excited to see what Willow wanted to show her, she knew that she was going to love it. It really was a romantic view that was going to set for this whole night for them, they could stand there and look over the water just the two of them. With the moon and the stars. “Don’t worry you will see, and I think you are going to love it!” Willow said still while holding her hand.

She could tell by her response with the excitement in her voice she loved it, which was just what she was hoping for. “It really pretty isn’t it?” She asked her. “I found it one night when I was waking through the park. Now sometimes when I want to be alone I come here Look at the lake along with the stars, but now I want to share all that with you and maybe this could be both of our spot.” She said with a smile. Willow walked up on to the gazebo waiting for her to follow. “Its it a pretty view?.”

Lenore smiled at Willow as she expressed her pleasure about the vampire's comment that she'd think about staying with her. She had never met anyone quite like Willow and she had to admit, it was kind of nice---refreshing. she liked people who were proud of who they were and spoke their minds. And Willow definitely seemed to be those things. Though she wasn't sure if her friends would [b[truly[/b] like her. There were some people who believed that all vampires were evil and should be staked with no questions act. Like the hunter that had tried to kill her when she had first met the Winchesters---Gordon, she thought his name had been---but that wasn't an issue as she hadn't heard anything about him in her travels. She had made some friends over the years and they were usually pretty good at letting her know if she and the others were in danger.

She had laughed when other woman assured her that she would love the view of what she wanted to show her, and she had been absolutely right. The water had been so beautiful and she could hear the regular night sounds that were going on even though some of the insects she heard were far away. It all gave out a sense of tranquility, which the vampire found that she really liked. Oh, she liked being around people just fine---as long as she had fed first---but sometimes a girl just wanted to be alone with her thoughts and have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature.

These thoughts were cut short when her companion spoke up again, explaining that she had found it when she was out walking one day and used it for when she wanted to be alone.
"I can see why. It's certainly gorgeous," she commented. At her suggestion of it being their spot, Lenore bit her lip. "Are you sure I wouldn't be intruding? I mean, if this is a place where you come to meditate or try to relax, I don't want to get in the way of that," she said, following her towards the gazebo. Not that she was opposed to the two of them having a private place of their own, but it was like she had said: she didn't want to intrude on the woman's sanctuary. "And yes, it's a beautiful view," she responded. She wasn't sure if she would ever see such a gorgeous scene again, but right now, she highly doubted it.

Willow was happy getting to show this to Lenore, she knew that it was something that she would really enjoy. It was something special that Willow wanted to share with someone else, coming here at night alone did get lonely at times. So she loved that now she could share it with someone else, plus Willow really did like Lenore and was starting to really fall for her. Willow hadn't even known her for very long and all ready she was starting to feel for this girl, feel love and emotion. She just wondered what Lenore would say if she told her, Willow knew that is was in fact way to soon.

She wondered though if it was to soon to try and go in for a kiss, all the witch could think about was kissing the sweet lips of Lenore. Which was another reason that Willow though this would be a great place to take her, it was Romania enough that it could make for the right moment. Which was another reason that Willow brought her there, hopping that maybe the right moment would come. She could tell that Lenore really liked the view by her excitement, you could see it by the way she was biting her lips. Which Willow though was so sexy. She didn't know she felt that she was intruding, she wasn't in anyway. "No don't worry I'm so happy that I'm getting to share this with you, I want this to become our spot." she told her with a smile.

Then as Willow was standing there she looked over at Lenore with a real serious look on her face, knowing that she couldn't hold back how she was feeling anymore. "Look I need to be honest with you, I really like you Lenore. Like really really like you! So I guess my question is would you go out with me? You know like be my girlfriend." She asked trying not to studdeder she was so nervous.

Lenore was relieved to hear that she wouldn't be intruding on this place as she of all people understood the need for a place of solitude. Don't get her wrong, she loved her friends dearly, but sometimes she just needed some time to herself. And she had to admit, having a spot all to themselves was very appealing.
"I hope this can be our spot too some day," she told her. And she did. It would be nice to have a place all to themselves when they needed it. Hey, even vampires needed time to themselves. So a a quiet, secret place would be nice....especially if Eli was in one of his moods. Okay, she needed to stop thinking like that. She was supposed to be having fun. And so far, she was. I'm having a really good time. I don't want it to end, she thought to herself.

Then Lenore's eyes widened in surprise at Willow's confession. She hadn't expected that this soon. But then again, when two people felt this way, why wait? She had jumped into relationships pretty quickly before, so why not this time? Because she's different from anyone else. There's a deeper connection here, she thought to herself.
"I'm falling for you too. I didn't expect it to happen so fast, but it has," she answered. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," she continued, resisting the urge to jump up and down. She felt the same way! She wanted to date! Yes! she thought to herself. In her mind, the date had been going great, and it was nice to know that the other woman wanted the same thing. "One of these days, you'll have to meet my friends," she told her. Eli and the others would love to meet Willow and would most likely love her almost as much as she did. "That is, if you want to meet them," she added quickly. Maybe she wasn't ready for that step just yet and she didn't want to rush things. But it was good to know that they were on the same wave-length.

Willow knew she was going to fast but she couldn't help it, she liked and cared so much for Lenore, she was worried to wait to long to ask to be with her. She didn't want to make that mistake with Tara. They broke up for a while and by the time they got back together she had died, so Willow felt that she couldn't let all that time slip by them. It would be dumb on her part losing all that time with someone as great as Lenore, she liked her so much and just wanted so much to be her girl. Take her out buy her dinner, take her nice places, give her all the things a great girl should have. Which was all the things that Willow was planning on giving her.

The witch was happy to hear that she did in fact feel the same for her, it made Willow heart beat so much faster. She felt the butterfly's come to her stomach with how happy she was, a part of her even wanted to cry tears of joy. "You feel the same for me to huh?" she asked her. "I tired so hard not to fall fast and hard, but I just couldn't help it. I like you so much Lenore, you really are a great girl. Being with you just makes me feel so happy, I forget about all my problems I have around me. Plus I feel like with you I can do anything." She told her with a smile. Her eyes lit up when she said that she would be her girlfriend. Words could not express how happy of a witch she has made her. Willow placed her hand inside her gripping it tightly. "That's great I would love to have you as my girl."

She had told Willow that she needed to meet her friends which brought an even bigger smile to her face, she cared so much about her. So she was happy getting to meet the people important to her. "I would love to meet your friends! Just like I know my friends would love to meet you." She told her putting her arm around her. "So when can I meet them." She said smiling at her.

Lenore's smile grew when Willow appeared to be happy that her feelings were reciprocated.Yes! Things are going great! she thought to herself. Okay, so they were moving kind of fast. Who cared though? Willow was hot. She nodded in agreement as Willow explained that she had tried not to fall for her too fast or hard, but that she couldn't help herself.
"I feel the same way," she confessed. It was true. She had fought what she was feeling when she had first met Willow---mostly because the other woman had just told the vampire that she looked like her dead ex and had wanted to give the woman a chance to figure out what exactly she was feeling---you know, make sure it wasn't transference or something. 'Cuz, you know, that would suck. But from what Willow was saying, that wasn't the case at all. She was saying that being with her made her feel happy and that all her problems seemed to go away.
"Yeah, same here," Lenore grinned. Plus, it was like everything around them went dim. How could one girl make me feel like this? she wondered. It just didn't really make sense, but in a way, it did. It was like---they were soulmates or something...She then laughed as Willow stated that she'd like to be Lenore's girl. "Awesome," she said.

Lenore then felt her features curve into an even wider grin as Willow expressed enthusiasm about meeting her friends, saying that she would love to meet to meet her friends and that her friends would love to meet her too.
"I hope so," she said, feeling a bit shy. She really liked Willow and she wanted her friends to like her. At her question, Lenore bit her lip in concentration.
"Well, my friends aren't in this town. I just came here to help out another friend, but I can call them," she finally replied. Hopefully, that was okay wtih her. If not, she wasn't sure what she would do.

Willow couldn’t help this smile that she had on her face, she was so happy that there feelings had came out. She felt like a young girl all over again, getting excited over the girl that she found out liked her. Willow loved this feeling so much, it felt better then any spell you could do, any drug you could take. It really did feel like that Willow was under a spell because of how good she felt. But she knew with Lenore not really being into magic there was no way that was possible.

She seemed really happy when Willow wanted to meet her friends, but why wouldn’t she. After all she loved everything about Lenore, so of course she would want to meet those close to her, heck Willow couldn’t wait. But she also couldn’t wait for her to meet the rest of the gang, she knew that they were just going to just love her. “Well yeah you should call them into town sometime, it might be fun. I’m sure they miss and would love to hear from you.” She told her with a smile.

Willow knew that soon that needed to plain a time for her to come and meet her friends, she knew that a meeting needed to be planned sooner then later. “So when do you think you can come meet my friends, I know that they will love you.” She told her. “All though I wonder how shocked they will be when they see you look like Tara. I hope that don’t make you feel uncomfortable in anyway, will it?” Willow really hoped that it didn’t when they saw her, but she just knew that at first the gang was going to be taken back a bit. But after a while they would realize it wasn’t her, Willow is anxious to see how is all goes down.

Lenore's eyes shone happily as Willow encouraged her to call her friends, stating they most likely missed her and would love to hear from her. From that comment, it sounded like she new the value of friendships---something that she found to be incredibly rare in this day and age. It's nice to know that friendships are still valued in this day and age, she thought to herself. Not that she hadn't met humans who had cared about their friends before, it just seemed like a lot of the friendships these days were based on how high on the social register someone could bring you. Or maybe she had just been meeting the wrong humans.
"Yeah, they probably would," she agreed. And they weren't being hunted right now, which meant that they hadn't had to split up and that she didn't have to be careful when calling them, which was always a plus. She hated it when hunters forced them to go in different directions. She always missed her friends terribly during that time. But as she had said, that wasn't the case now, which was good. It left her free to do whatever it was that she wanted to do...such as, talking with Willow.

Okay, she was getting distracted. She needed to focus here, especially since it was clear that Willow had started talking again. She was wanting to know when she could meet her friends. Lenore bit her lip in concentration. She didn't recall Lexi saying that she needed any further help with Stefan, but she wanted to be available for her friend if she needed her.
"How bout in a couple of days?" she suggested. That would give her enough time to check with Lexi about helping her with Stefan and Willow could broach the subject of their new relationship with her friends if she so choosed. At the other woman's comment that she wondered how the others would take the vampire looking like Tara and then the question of whether or not it made her uncomfortable, she shook her head.
"No, it doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. I just hope it's not too strange for you," she replied. "And maybe you should tell your friends that I look like your ex. You don't want to blindside them," she suggested. She had surmised that it had been a big shock for the witch and she didn't want her friends to have to go through the same feeling. After all, Tara had probably been their friend too and it wouldn't be right not to give them fair warning about what she looked like.

Willow knew how important friends were so she knew that Lenore had to miss them, heck she would miss Buffy and Xander if she had not seen them in a while. She doesn’t even know what she do really, they were like family to her and Willow would be lost with out them all. She could tell that Lenore did miss her friends, she could see that just by how happy she seemed when Willow wanted to meet them. But then again she should be happy for all the many things her and Willow would get to experience together. Plus how many vampires can say that they are dating a witch who is cool with her and all her vampire friends.

A couple of days sounded great she knew the group was going to just love her, she would make a great audition to the Scooby gang for sure. Plus Angel would have another vampire to talk to other the Spike. Which would make him really happy seeing that he drives him nuts most the time. “Yeah that’s sounds like a plain! You can come over to meet everyone, and in the mean time I will make us all dinner and dessert.” Said Willow with excitement in her voice. “Just so you know I make the best cookies.”

It didn’t bother Willow at all that she looked like Tara, she like it and in away it was comforting to the witch. “Yeah maybe I should tell my friends, all though I don’t think they are going to realize what I mean by that you know. Knowing them they might just think that you look some what like her with features you know. But no you look like her dead on, so they will freak no matter what.” said Willow. “But that’s ok I think it will be funny and we need some fun and good things in are life. Plus they really found a friend in Tara so I think they will find that in you as well, they are really going to love you.”

Willow stood there looking to the lake that was near the park, watching the moon refract off of it. As Lenore stood there right beside her, Willow then decided to lock hands with her while looking deep into her eyes. She wanted so much to kiss her right now, but she didn’t know how she would react to it. “I want to do something but promise me you wont freak ok.” She said before going in for a kiss on the sweet vampires lips.
