The day dragged for both of them but before they knew it, it was the end of the day. Yet again another day where they both consumed each others minds. Things seemed to be really looking up fpr the pair of them. Their rekindled romance seemed to be going as well as it could be ever since they opened up to other about their feelings. Jen had promised herself to try and loosen up a little as Tilly always told her. She knew that now Maddie, Neil amd Jono were gone she was often a bit lonely. Now more than ever she needed someone to rely on and Jen made it her goal to be that person.
On the other hand, Tilly had promised to accept the fact that they cant be together as much as most couples and that a lot of sneaking around would have to take place but it would all be worth it. Tilly had told Jen of how it sometimes disheartened her that they couldnt be open about things and how it drove her to frustration, but Jen felt the same and reassured her. It often did seem as though they werent a real couple sometimes. What killed them both the most was having to walk past each other everyday pretending that they were just strangers. Pretending that they werent madly in love and that they werent each others worlds. But they were a couple, they were together and thats what gave them hope.
With it only being three days until Christmas Jen knew she needed to head to town tonight in order to avoid the Christmas Eve shopping madness. She hadnt really a clue what to get Tilly, but she knew she wanted it to be something sweet to give along with the hand made gifts she'd already had ready. She was sure Tilly would be in agreement that gifts that had been made with lots of time and effort put into them where more meaningful than those simply bought.
Tilly had been a lot more prepared than Jen. She had made her presents weeks in advance and had been dying to give them to her ever since. Tilly was having mixed feelings about christmas this year. She was excited as she was every year, that she got to spend time with her family and also attend Dianes party (which she assumed Jen would naturally be going to as well) but on the downside it was her first one without Maddie. It was like an anchor in her heart that weighed her down whenever she felt as though she may start to feel happy again.
Tilly sighed. She lay in bed as she began making a start on her essay that needed to be in by the time they went back to school. "So much for relaxing" She thought. After writing her first few paragraphs she decided to leave it for today and make a start on wrapping up all the christmas presents she had bought. This year she had really splashed out on gifts for everyone.
Jen opened the door to the house and was greeted by Diane who lay on the sofa watching television. "Alright love?" she asked without even moving her eyes from the television. "Im fine, just did a bit of christmas shopping."
Diane looked round at her and acknowledged the fact she was carrying hardly any bags.
"Yeah looks like your hands full there!" she joked.
Jen took her bags upstairs. It was true. She was completely hopeless at finding gifts and had came back with next to nothing. She was just glad that she had found something to give to Tilly. "Ill just have to go out again soon." she reassured herself.
She felt her mobile vibrate in her pocket she pulled it out to see a text from Tilly. Quickly she clicked and read it. 'Hey baby, are you okay? miss you already x'
Jen smiled at her phone.
'Just been doing my christmas shopping haha what have u been up to? miss you x'
"JENNN!" She could hear Diane shouting for her downstairs.
"YEAH?"
"ME AND SINEAD ARE GOING OUT TONIGHT SO WE'LL SEE YOU LATER LOVE!" "OH OKAY!" And with that the door slammed shut and all was silent. Without hesitation Jen picked her phone back up and dialled Tillys number.
"Hello?" she heard the cute voice on the other line say.
"Hey you!"
"Whats up? You dont usually ring me?"
"Yeah well maybe, im all alone in the house and will be all night. Maybe i need someone company."
"Oh really? All night?"
"Yeah, i was wondering if you might want to come over. Thats if you havent any better offers?" Jen teased. "Hm, maybe ill have to think about it!" Tilly teased back and with that she hung up.
Sometimes Jen couldnt believe how much of a flirt Tilly was towards her. It was as though she knew how much her playing hard to get drove her crazy. Her phone buzzed as she recieved a message that read 'See u in 5 xx' It was going to be a great night.
Quater of an hour later the door bell rang, Jen looked into the mirror once more before running downstairs. For some reason she felt nervous, she took a deep breath and opened the door. "Hello beautiful!"
Tilly looked up and blushed, she still hadnt got used to all the compliments yet. "Hi you, is it okay to come in?" "Yes of course it is!" Tilly walked into the living room as Jen closed the door behind her. "So what did you have planned for this evening?" "Well" Jen started as she walked closer over to her lover. "I was thinking a movie, some wine and um, seeing where it goes from there" She winked as she lent into Tilly. Their lips locked in a soft encounter. God how they had both missed each others lips. As it escalated their hands began to feel over each others bodies and the kiss began to get more passionate. Jen physically had to pull herself away before they started something that they had all night to finish anyway.
"So...Ill just go get the drinks then." She said flustered.
Tilly nodded and sat down on the sofa in order to stop her legs from giving way underneath her. The power Jen had over her was incredible and to describe it using merely words would be impossible and sound cliche. "So, what were you thinking watching?" Jen said as she came from the kitchen holding a bottle of red wine and two glasses.
"What have you got?"
Jen looked up at her as she opened up the bottle and began to tip the liquid into the glasses. "What do you mean 'what have you got?' have you not heard that Diane has recently bought netflix and we can now watch anything we like?! because thats all ive heard this week!" "Oh my god, yeah actually Sinead mention about her mum going on about it."
"Honestly babe, she's fansinated! I say we check out what all the fuss is about!"
She took the remote and began to look through the movie selection. Diane was right they really did have everything.
In the end they settled to watch Saw. Something Jen wasnt very keen on, but Tilly insisted. Jen wasnt a lover of horror movies and certainly didnt approve of the over use of blood and horrible torture scenes, but having Tilly snuggled up to her throughout it make things bareable. Every so often during the jumpy scenes she could Tilly flinch and she used it as an excuse to wrap her arms around her even tighter.
After another ten minutes Jen was getting bored, she got up and told Tilly she was just going upstairs. She went up the stairs and into the bathroom where she re-did her make up. She concerntrated as she applied the red lipstick upon her soft lips before puckering. She heard footsteps behind her as she did so and turned around to see Tilly approuching her. Slowly. She looked into her eyes which could speak louder than words. Jen had seen this look before. The look of lust and passion. Jen was under her spell and all it took was a few seconds of eye contact.
"Miss Gilmore, how dare you leave me to watch scary films all on my own." She flirted.
Jen was speechless, she couldnt stop her eyes from staring at her lips, all she wanted to do was be able to get her own upon them. She felt Tilly lean closer.
"Speechless are we?" She whispered, her voice was low and husky. Jen felt a shiver down her spine. She couldnt handle it anymore. She pulled Tilly forward by the collar of her shirt and began to kiss her with such intensity that they both longed for from each other. Jen hands began searching Tillys body as she pinned her up against the bathroom door. She was loosing it, she had lost her mind, she knew what she wanted and it was to make love to Tilly right this minute.
Jen broke off the kiss before looking into her eyes again and pulling her out the bathroom and into her bedroom. Her smile beamed as she shut the door behind her...
