Jen couldn't tear her eyes away from the photo, Courtney's long blonde hair was down past her shoulders and reminded Jen of Maddie a tiny bit but it was Tillys red hair that she focused on more, she had let it grow longer and her beautiful blue eyes still had the power to make her heart pound furiously against her chest. The couple were smiling happily at the camera Courtneys arm flung almost possesively around Tilly's shoulders pulling her close.

She couldn't believe she was standing in Tilly's girlfriends house, did she live here too maybe? Could she walk through the door any second? What would she say to her if she did? Jen had a million and one questions racing through her mind. Courtney walked back in handing them both their coffee, Jen hastily put back the photo.

"So this is a really nice place, quite big, so... do you live here on your own?" Jen asked.

"Thanks, yeah it was my parents place but they moved to Spain last year and said I could use the house."

Courtney's mobile began to ring "Excuse me for a minute guys I better get this." She apologised taking the call in to the bedroom.

"You ok Jen?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" She lied, feeling anything but ok.

"I dunno, it's just you've gone all pale and you look like you want to throw up... Come on talk to me I can tell something is up."

"Just nervous about the job I suppose."

Brian watched her closely "Ok but if you decide you want to tell me the truth I'm always here to listen yeah?"

Jen smiled at him, he really was a good friend always there for her and never pushing her to talk when he knew she didn't want to.

"Sorry about that guys, so any ideas on what theme to go with for saturday night?" Courtney asked walking back in to the room.

Before either one could awnser she spoke again "I thought we could do a french theme, show some paintings done by french artists it's also a romantic country so couples could turn up aswell..."

Jen interrupted "The thing is the whole France and Paris thing have been done so many times, truthfully I think it's what Craig will go for. We could do an Italian night, there's more artists from Italy it's still a romantic country and we could do Italian food too."

Courtney looked slightly pissed off with Jen for shooting down her idea, the truth was she was quite an ambitious person and liked to take control and be in charge.

"Sounds good." Brian piped up "So let's arrange what paintings and artists to use and everything so we can get down the pub."

They spent the next few hours sorting everything out that they needed to, Courtney was still in a sulky mood and Jen kept getting distracted by her thoughts of Tilly, every little noise she heard outside the door made her think it was her former lover about to come in. Jen was half hopeful and half scared shitless at the chance she would come face to face with Tilly again.

When everything had been decided and they all knew what they were doing Brian suggested a few drinks in the local pub, Courtney quickly declined "No I'm going to go over everything Jen wants done make sure I know exactly what I'm doing."

"Ok, Jen you up for a few?"

"No I'm just going to go home get an early night."

"Fine I'll just drink all on my lonesome, if I turn alcoholic I hope you both know it's completely your fault." He joked "See you at work then Courtney thanks for the coffee."

"Yeah thanks Courtney... Bye then."

"Bye guys."

Jen and Brian got in her jeep "Do you want me to drop you at the pub or your place?"

"Mine please. That Courtney seems like the ambitious sort eh? Did you see the look on her face when you shot down her idea? I'd watch my back if I was you though like I said before she seems the bitchy type. What do you think?"

"I don't like her." Jen awnsered pretending to herself it had nothing to do with the fact she was sleeping with the woman she was still madly in love with.

Brian laughed "Me neither."

Jen spent the rest of the week in her flat focusing on her work trying hard not to think of Tilly and what she might be doing or who with. On friday Brian had enough of Jen refusing his invites to go out so he went over to hers and convinced her to go with him to see how Craigs night at the gallery turned out and what they were up against. When they arrived Jen saw that she was right he had gone for the Paris theme and hadn't done a very good job of it either, it was 9 o'clock and hardly anyone had shown up and there was only a few French paintings on the walls, Mr Naylor was stood in the corner looking extremely disappointed.

Nudging Jen and passing her a glass of wine Brian said happily "He don't look best pleased, he must think this night is as a complete fuck up as much as I do... either that or he looked in a mirror and saw how ugly he looks."

Jen smiled "Your always picking on him I think you have a secret crush."

"Yeah right because Frankenstein's monster is really my type. Oh look we ain't the only ones checking out our competition." He pointed over to Courtney who was talking to a tall red headed woman.

Jen almost choked on her drink, even from the back she could tell it was Tilly, her mind went blank and her heart began to race.

"...Jen? Hello? Earth to Jennifer!" Brian waved his hand in front of her face breaking her trance.

"Sorry what?"

"Are you ok?"

"Er... Yeah... You know what no I'm not, I've got to go."

"Jen wait!"

She hurried away not looking where she was going, as she neared the exit she slipped on a wet patch and fell smacking the side of her head on the floor. Brian ran over to help her up "Oh shit you ok?"

"Yeah I think so."

He burst out laughing "Jen that was some you've been framed shit, if I had a camera I would definatly be two hundred and fifty quid richer."

"Trust you to find it funny."

"Shit Jen your bleeding, we should get you checked at the hospital."

"Not so funny now eh?It's fine just drive me home please?"

"I'll do you a deal go sit in your office, let me get the first aid kit to clean you up, see how bad it is yeah?"

"Fine, just be as quick as you can." She replied reluctantly walking in to her office and sitting down. At least in here she wouldn't bump in to Tilly, she couldn't believe she had been so close to her. Wishing more than anything she could just walk up to her and tell her how she felt beg for another chance.

Ten minutes later Brian walked back in. "What took you so long? I thought you was grabbing the first aid box?" She asked noticing his hands were empty.

"I can't find it but I ran in to Courtney it turns out her girlfriends training to be a doctor so she can check you over, she's just gone to get some stuff from her car she will only be a second."

"What?! Shit! Brian tell me you kidding!"

"What's the problem? I spoke to her for a few minutes she seems really lovely unlike Courtney"

There was a knock at the door followed by Tilly walking in "Hey I got told someone's head had a fight with the floor and lost." She joked looking around.

Their eyes met and Jen saw Tilly's smile fade and the humour disappear from her eyes. Jen's first thought was of how stunning Tilly looked and how much she wanted to kiss her but when she saw the look on her face her second thought was ... 'Oh fuck!'
