Chapter 2

The next morning Gill was in her lounge nursing a bad hangover when her doorbell rang. She got up and went to answer it. When she opened the door she was confronted with a worried looking Janet.

"Gill thank god".

"What are you doing here".

"What am I doing here. You never called".

"What".

"I told Julie to get you to call me. After you quick exit last night I was worried about you".

"Sorry cock. It must have slipped her mind to tell me".

"Well can I come in. It's bloody freezing out here".

"Yeah ofcourse. Come on in".

Gill moved aside to let Janet in. Janet followed her back through to the lounge and could see something was wrong with her.

"Gill what's going on. Where's Julie".

"She's not here. She left not long after she came to check on me last night".

"She said she was taking you home".

"Yeah well. I might have done something to change her mind on that".

"What's happened".

"Last night. The reason I ran out was because I was upset over Dave".

"What the hell's that man done now".

"Just his usual and more but that's not the real issue now".

"I don't follow".

"I burst into tears again when Julie and I were outside last night. She was comforting me and then I don't know if it was because I was upset or because I was a little drunk but..."

"What. Gill you can tell me".

"I kissed her".

Janet sat very quiet for a few moments before deciding silence wasn't the best help to her friend.

"You kissed her. What did Julie do".

"Not much. She erm said it wasn't right and that she had to go. She apologised and then she walked away".

"Oh Gill. I'm so sorry".

"I've really fucked everything up. Haven't I".

"Not necessarily. Talk to her. Say you were vunerable and that you made a mistake. She'll understand".

"That's just it though Janet. I didn't make a mistake. I knew what I was doing. I don't regret what I did. Julie and I have been friends for so long. Longer than you and I even. I've felt something for her for a while now. I don't want to lose her Janet".

"You need to go and talk her. It need's sorting".

"I will but not today. I need time to think".

"Well I better head off. Taisie and Elsie want to go clothes shopping and I did promise them weeks ago but look you call me if you need to talk some more okay".

"I will Janet. Thanks cock". Gill replied. Walking Janet to the door.

"See you Monday".

As Janet drove home she decided to make a pit stop by Syndicate 3. She remembered Julie saying she had to go into work for a few hours that day and Janet thought it might be a good oppertunity to talk to her. As Janet walked through to the main office. She spotted Julie in her office. She walked over to her door and knocked gently.

"Yeah come in".

"Hi Julie".

"Janet. What are you doing here".

"I hope I'm not disturbing you".

"Erm no. Just catching up on my filing. Everything okay".

"Actually no. I wanted to talk to you about Gill".

Julie's reaction to Gill's name didn't go unnoticed by Janet.

"What about her".

"Well I popped round to see her this morning and she looked pretty upset. She told me about what happened between you last night".

"Oh. I see".

"Julie you need to talk to each other. You can't ignore what happened".

"I don't know what to say. She took me by suprise last night. I didn't know how to react. I did the only thing I could do at that moment and I left. I didn't mean to upset her.

"She's your friend".

"She's my best friend Janet. We've been friends for over 20 years and she decides now to kiss me".

"She's messed up right now. Dave's mucked her about once too many and she's upset over the car for Sammy. She just needs someone to love her and be there for her".

"I do love her though Janet. Okay would I love it if we were more than friends. Sure I would but it's a huge step for two people who have been friends for so long and I've never been in a relationship with another woman before and I know for a fact Gill hasn't. What if it ruins us forever".

"Sometimes you need to take that leap. Look if you hadn't panicked last night and just enjoyed the kiss would you have gone home with her".

"Probably".

"So she obviously means more to you than even you realise".

"I need to talk to her. I'll drop by her place after I finish up here. Sort things out".

"Good and if either of you need anything. Let me know and I won't say anything to anyone. Promise".

"Thank you Janet. You're a good friend to Gill".

"I try my best. I should go".

"Doing anything nice".

"Clothes shopping with two teenagers. What do you think".

"Well I don't envy you on that one".

"Remember I'm just on the other end of a phone. Good luck". Janet smiled. As she left.

Julie finsihed off what needed done and then decided she should go to Gill's. When she arrived at Gill's house she stood outside for what seemed like hours. Getting the courage she needed to talk to her friend. She knocked a few times on the door before Gill eventually answered. When she opened the door Julie could see she had been crying again and more than likely got very little sleep.

"Gill. Can I come in love".

"Sure".

Gill let her in and Julie stood as Gill closed the door behind her. They stood in the hallway for a few moments just staring at one another before Julie took hold of Gill's hand and guided her upstairs. Julie looked into Sammy's room to make sure he wasn't around and then went into Gill's bedroom. She helped Gill sit down on the bed and knelt down infront of her.

"Julie what are you doing". Gill asked. Confused.

"What I should have done last night instead of running away like I did. Gill I'm so sorry for the way I acted. I'm a bloody fool".

"No I'm sorry. I should have..."

"Ssssh. Don't say anything right now".

Julie cupped Gill's face in her hands and leaned in and kissed her best friend. It was a little akward at first but they eventually found each others pace. It was better than either of them could ever have imagined. As Julie lay in Gill's arms she couldn't help but remind herself to thank Janet for making her see sense. She'd just made love to her best friend and it had felt better than anything else she's ever imagined.
