HUSH


Willow looked at the book and smiled. She had been smiling all day. Last night had been wonderful. Every man she saw, she wondered if it were her shadow man. She knew from her exploration of his body that he was lean. His chest was smooth and well defined. That was all she knew. She felt a wave at guilt that she had slept with someone that she had never ever seen. She was a tramp. But it had been amazing. He knew exactly how to please her...to touch her...he had been perfect.

She saw a hand go in front of her face. Startled, she looked up into her friend's amused eyes.

"Willow, you've been staring at that page for at least five minutes. Is it that interesting?"

"Yes." She said quickly and looked back down. She didn't need to deal with Buffy right now. She'd much rather relive the night before.

"So, Wills," Buffy started, oblivious to her friend's desire for alone time. "Where were you last night?"

"What?" Willow squeaked.

"I tried calling you after my date, but no answer. Was just wondering if everything was ok."

"Uh...right. No answer. I turned the ringer off. Wanted to get some sleep." (Good save, Rosenberg)

"Hmmm....that's strange." Buffy said. "You see, when I didn't get an answer, I went to your room. I used my key....you weren't there." Her tone of voice was triumphant. "So, where were you?"

Willow looked up in shock. She had been caught and it was only the first night. No. She wasn't going to admit a thing. "I really went to the library to study."

Buffy looked into her friend's eyes deeply. Suddenly, she smiled hugely. "Willow. You got laid." She said loudly.

Willow felt her face flame. "Hush! I did not. Buffy...just shut up and leave me alone." She looked away.

Buffy laughed. "It must have been real good....you won't talk about it. I am so proud of you. You finally let Wolf boy go and moved on. Who was it? Is he cute? Does he go to school here? Did you cum?"

Xander listened in amazement. His Willow had gotten laid? He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to hear the details. He got up and left the apartment, calling out to Buffy that he was hungry.

Willow tried to ignore her friend, but Buffy wouldn't let it go. She was dieing for her to admit what had happened. Finally, she stood.

"Buffy. You're my best friend, but sometimes I really want to hurt you. I'd better leave before I finally give in to that temptation." She got her bag and started to leave. "Oh, and I did NOT get laid." She left.

Buffy just chuckled. It must have been very good. Willow had a secret. She couldn't wait until her friend finally confessed everything.

Spike sat back in his chair and hid a smile. He waited until Buffy was distracted then he left. He had to make sure Willow got home safely. Besides, it was time for another meeting.
