11 Years Ago

By Cricket

"Whats up with you two? It took me forever to get you into the car." Oz said while turning off the parking lot to the beach.

"Well...Buffy has a crush on a certain some body. And Jesse has a certain crush on somebody. Put it together, and you've got two horny brunettes going at it within the next 6 months. Well, Buffy is a blonde right now..but that comes from a bottle so...you get the picture right?" Willow asked frantic. She was sort of babbling and she got that way when she started to babble. She saw him smiling. "Your supposed to stop me when I do that." Willow said smilingly. Oz laughed out loud as he turned on NewYork street.

"I like it when you do that." Oz said smiling widely.

"You always did." Willow said. A slightly tired and dreamy look in her eyes. She yawned, and then Oz yawned, and then they both yawned.

"Stop it." Oz said.

"What?" Willow asked perplexed.

"I'm trying to stay awake and your yawning, and yawning catches on and then I fall asleep." Oz said smiling at her. She smiled back. She and Oz used to fool around at night time when it came to that. She would yawn, he'd say stop it, she'd yawn again, and then he'd kiss her.

"Sorry. I'm just really tired. I feel like I've been walking all day with bad shoes." Willow said. She felt the unsurpresable feeling rise in the pit of her stomach and she covered her mouth to keep from yawning outloud. Her eyes watered up everytime she yawned, and she looked over at Oz while he was driving to see him laughing again. She couldn't believe he grew a few inches. He was handsome. Before, 5 years ago, he was cute, sexy, and daring, but she could never imagine him as handsome. Something about him being taller made him look more, manly. Like he had grown up. Oz noticed her gaze.

"Why you staring at me?" Oz asked.

"Oh..I was just noticing how your...taller I guess. Its all a little different."

"Are you sure? I'm only about an inch taller than you now. The other height is just from my shoes." Oz said looking down at his left foot at the floor board. He turned in on Buffy's street and pulled up into the drive way.

"I'm sure." Willow said smiling. She was about to open her own door when he stopped but halted when she noticed Oz get out of the car and walk over to her side of the door and open it. He took her hand and helped her out of the car.

"So I'll see you tomarrow." Oz confirmed.

"Definately. You going to save me a dance at the reception?" Willow asked.

"Of course. Besides I don't think I'll be dancing with Lisa very much."

"Do I even dare ask why?" Willow asked warily.

"cause she can't dance worth shit. Plus she's always stepping on my feet and the fact that she wears those real thin high heals when she's stepping on me doesn't feel to good."

"Well you can count on it. Is she even comeing to the wedding?" Willow asked out of curiousity.

"I don't think so. I'm thinking about asking her to stay home so she won't bitch during the entire ceremony." Oz said laughing. Willow laughed as well. She took a deep breath before turning around to unlocking the front door. She turned around after opening the door.

"Uh...thankyou..for the ride. I enjoyed it." Willow said smiling slightly at the akward moment.

"My pleasure. I want to get as much time in with you before you go back to NewYork." Oz said. "Its been a really long time." Oz said sullenly.

"I know. I'll see you tomarrow." Willow said before leaning forward and placing a light gentle kiss on his left cheek, before turning around and blushing. "Good night." Willow said quietly before stepping inside and closing the door. She looked through the peep hole in the door to see him walking down the walkway to his car, smiling and playing with his left cheek. *Thats Oz.* Willow thought sarcastically.
