The evening fell. Diner had been delicious! Tilly's mom was an excellent cook! The visitors on the other hand were boring. At least for tilly. Her dad had been talking business all night. So when everybody took place in the couch after they finished diner, it seemed like the perfect timing to excuse herself and go upstairs.
The teenager listened to some music while browsing the internet. About an hour later she heard the guest leave and her parent come upstairs. Her mom came to say goodnight and a few minutes later tilly thought it was about ready for her to do the same. She made herself ready but on some pj's and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. When tilly snuck under the sheet she felt something. She threw the sheets a bit away to see what it was. And when she saw it tilly smiled grabbed it and pulled it close to her. The young girl could smell the perfume of who it belongs too and hugged the coat as if it was jen herself. It made her realize that what she is feeling toward the brunette isn't just something. Tilly turned off the light and felt asleep with jens coat in her arms.
The next morning
Jen woke up early again. The night before she went at 10 p.m. She actually had hoped to sleep a bit longer then 8 a.m. but no, there she was laying awake at 7a.m. It was becoming a routine waking up this early. The teacher jumped out of bed and went downstairs where she made herself some tea. She sat down at the kitchen table and read the newspaper from the day before. Yesterday she hadn't had the time to do that. When she grabbed her phone to check for new messages she saw the message she read last. The one from tilly. It made her think of the day before. That's when jen decided to go for a walk to the park again. Full with hopes that tilly might be doing the same.
While jen was arriving at the park she saw a mama duck with her babies and just burst out laughing. She looked around for that one familiar face. But no luck today. Jen walked towards a bench, the same as yesterday and sat down. The creative women took out a notebook and pencil, and started sketching. The trees, the sky, the birds, the river, the ducks, ... While sketching jen was actually Hoping tilly would pass by again.
But her redhead was still laying down in her bed. In deep sleep with her teachers coat in her arms pressed close against her body. Tilly woke up at 9:00 by the sound of someone taking a shower. When she opened up her eyes she saw jens coats and hugged it. She decided to stay in bed for a little longer as the bathroom was taken. Tilly played some calm music on her phone. last week she downloaded some music of the xx, that was the perfect music to wake up with. About 15 minutes later there were 3 knocks on the door before opening. Tilly quickly pushed jen's coat all the way under the sheet so whoever was entering wouldn't see it.
It was her mom.
Good morning love, i thought i heard some noise in here! Bathroom is free now if you want to get a shower.
Okay thanks mom!
Oh just wanna let you know that your dad and i are going to the beach, i lt would be nice if you would join us. It's been a long time we went on a family trip. Said tilly's mom.
Oh. Erm. Okay. I've to read something for school but i'll guess i can do that in the car as well.
Okay. Wonderful. We'll leave in about half an hour so make sure you're ready by then.
I will. Tilly answered
Tilly jumped out of bed and took a quick shower. She took the book she had to read and then she reminded the assignment of her favorite teacher she had to do. So tilly also got her camera and sketchbook with her. And a bit later than planned the family evans took off toward the beach!
Jen had been gone some while now. She was caught up in her sketching but was getting cold right now so it was about time to go back home. One more crossroad and she was home, the lights were red and jen was waiting for them to turn green. The lights for the cars just turned orange but the car that was passing couldn't stop in time anymore. The next ones on the other hand had plenty of space left to stop and so did they. The walking sign turned on, jen looked to her left as a habit when crossing the streets and got surprised as she saw a face she liked. A second later she noticed the two older people in the front. That must be her mom and dad, the teacher tought. Jen tried to continue her walk without making it obviously that she was looking towards the car. When the car took off again tilly saw someone in a quick flash and thought it was jen but wasn't sure. She looked back but a truck behind then blocked her view.
A few minutes later jen got home and got herself some warm tea to warm herself a bit up. Although seeing tilly already had done much to help with the warming up. Jen could no longer resist it and texted tilly.
Hello good morning, you have some time today? Need to talk! J
Tilly read the message and regretted instantly for going to the beach but it was too late now. So se texted back she couldn't today.
I'm off to the beach, family trip... Some other time? Could it be that i saw you this morning at the lights near diane's?
Oh okay… Yeah next time. Yes i saw you! Was on my way home from the parc. Have fun at the beach. Take a picture for me ;)
Thanks! I will! You to have fun today!
No luck today, but they would see each other tomorrow, although that would be under a lot different circumstances... . They would see each other, be able to talk to one another and that was all that mattered.
Jen was counting down the minutes that were left till she would see tilly again. The teacher was dying to talk to her again.
Tilly at the beach felt the same. When she stared at the sea she remembered her first trip with jen. The student realized she really missed her and knew inside she loved that brunette and not just a little bit, but like a lot! Then tilly remembered jen asked her to take a picture so when her mom and dad went back to the car to take out the picnic basket tilly decided to take some pictures.
First just some pictures of the beach and sea but then the young girl draw something in the sand. A big heart! She shot the picture and looked at the result. The light was amazing what was weird for this hour of the day. Because of some mist there was some special effect, which was really beautiful and was represented perfectly on the picture.
When the family Evans was done picnicking it didn't take long for the rain to start falling heavily down. Tilly and her parents quickly took all their stuff and run back to the car.
On the way back tilly read the last bit of the book she had to read but couldn't really focus.
Jen had been preparing her lessons until Diane called her down. Saying she had been working too hard this weekend and asked her to join her for a movie and go out for diner later. As jen hadn't anything better to do she agreed. Diane called the local pizzeria to reserve their places.
'So that's done. Now come on girl get your butt down here on the couch! What film do you prefer?', Diane asked
Oh you can pick one. It doesn't really matter i think they are both great. Jen answered.
Okay then it's gonna be 'Taken'. Caroline, my friend from the gym asked me to go with her and see 'Taken 2', but i haven't seen the first one so...
Yeah i heard it a really good one! Jen said.
I guess we'll find out in a sec.
While diane was putting jn the dvd and making some popcorn jen received a text. She smiled instantly when she saw who it was from.
Hi, just wondering if maybe you wanna meet up later. The rain ruined the trip so we're on our way back.
Is this some bad karma or something there's always something that keeps them from meeting. Jen thought to herself.
'Just agreed to go out for dinner with diane, she already booked. I wish i had knew sooner :( ', jen texted back.
Tilly was a bit disappointed but she knew it was only last minute.
Okay. Have fun with diane :p
Jen laughed at the answer she knew what tilly must be thinking. Dinner with diane couldn't be as much fun as the two of them meeting up tonight .
What is it that's so funny love? Diane asked as she just sat herself down next to jen.
'Oh nothing just some friend joking around. You ready for it ?', Jen asked hoping diane would drop it
Yeah yeah just press play already, caroline said there was some handsome guy in it .. erm what his name again neil lanson or something
Oh you mean Liam Neeson haha
Yes that's the guy! Shh quiet it's gonna begin.
Both the women enjoyed the movie. The last 5 minutes bart and sinead came home.
Mom we're home, you ready? Sinead asked
Shh it's almost done! Answered diane as she didn't wanted to miss anything.
Okay okay calm down!
When the movie ended the four of them went to the pizzeria, jen was driving. Cause diane was in a too emotional state after seeing the movie. They all had a differet pizza and it was soo good!
I could eat this every day. Bart said
Well bart next time you're buying then? Diane said.
It not like i have any money have i. I'm just a student! Bart reacted.
Yeah yeah i know. I'm only teasing. Diane asnwered.
Funny mom. Sinead then said.
Come on time to go home. Jen came in to prevent the evening being ruined by something stupid.
The four went home. Sinead had to say goodbye to bart and jen went upstairs. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day! Diane just cleaned up some more and soon the lights went off at diane's.
