Exams are over, which means more time so here's finally the next chapter!

Enjoy! :D

Both of them were very much looking forward to this trip. For Tilly the week dragged but for Jen it flew by because all the preparations for the gallery exposition had been like insane. Much paperwork, finishing off two more painting, packing the painting, discussing how they should hang, making the information signs and together with that the search for a new place and the project of the young artist. Of course this gallery exposition came on the first place, Jen wanted everything to be completely right.

The two had exchanged a few texts over the week but as much Jen had wanted to talk more she really hadn't the time. When the morning of Friday came jen waked up with the thought that in a few hours she would see tilly again and that made her happy. So all Jen still had to do today is help her fellow artist help their and her own creating load in the truck, check out flat number 5 this week and pack her bags. After those three things she could leave London and head toward Tilly.

Jen's bags were packed and so were the things for the gallery all she had to do now was check out a new flat. The brunette already hadn't much hope cause it was really difficult to find a good place for a good price. Till now all those flats had been to expensive. And so was this one now but jen didn't really bother this time. As soon as she heard the price she excused herself and left, there was another place she was dying to go to.

Without wasting any more time Jen texted the redhead she was leaving now and would be in Cambridge in about an hour and a half. Tilly immediately replied telling her class would be finished by then and her bags were already packed.

The closer Jen was getting to Cambridge the more nervous she got. One more mile before the exit to Cambridge and the brunette's stomach really hurt of the stress. Meanwhile Tilly's class was just finished so she made her way to her dorm as Jen wasn't there yet the redhead quickly jumped in the shower. Just as the student switched off the water there was a knock on her door so she folded a towel around herself before opening the door.

'hey'

'oh hey, come in' said tilly from behind the door and opening it a bit more for Jen to enter

'oh okay ..erm' answered the brunette but as soon as she did and saw the redhead standing in only a towel she kind of felt insecure … not knowing where to look at.

'just give me five more minutes and I'll be ready' the redhead said noticing the uncomfortable look on Jen's face. It probably hadn't been such a good idea to open the door like that and stood almost naked in front of her ex-girlfriend. 'make yourself comfortable' the redhead called from the bathroom

'oh okay' yelled jen back looking into the direction of the bathroom door. Without wanting to she caught a glance of tilly's naked back in the mirror cause the door stood open on a small gab. The former teachers eyes widened but immediately she turned her face … even though she had liked what she could see, it wasn't right to sneak at the redhead like that.
Jen nervously waited for Tilly to appear back in the room while fiddling with he fingers. She though of things she could say of ask … being here so close with the redhead made her kind of light in her head. She had told herself not to feel like this but she just couldn't help it, Tilly had a way of infecting her like that.

'I'm ready' the redhead said walking out the bathroom and making Jen jump cause she had gotten lost in her thoughts. 'oh sorry didn't mean to scare you'

'oh . erm .. you didn't .. erm I just was thinking if I hadn't forgot to bring anything … it's been a hectic week..' halfly made Jen up

'I'm pretty sure you haven't forgot anything…!'

'I hope so …' there was a moment of silence 'erm so you ready?' asked the brunette while jumping up.

'yes' smiled tilly

'okay let's go … we got a long drive waiting for us'

'oh .. sorry I forgot to offer you a drink, don't you wanna drink something first?'

'thanks but it's okay, I've got a bottle of water in the car so …'

'Okay let's go then' smiled tilly packing her bag and with that they were ready to leave.

'wait let me help you with that ..' suggested Jen immediately going over to help Tilly with her bag.

'it's …' okay tilly wanted to say but Jen was already helping so she decided just to accept it 'thanks' the redhead then just smiled.

During the ride you could feel the tension between the two women's. They so desperately want to talk about a certain subject but they did their best to avoid it. Scared about what would happen if they spoke about it. So all they talked about was Jen's preparations for the gallery, the project she was helping the young artist with and tilly's education, how it was going and that sort of stuff.

We're almost there …' jen said while taking the highway's exit to Norwich.

'great, I really need to stretch my legs'

'should I pull over for a second?' asked Jen concerned

'no, it's okay … I think I'll manage till we get there. But thanks'

both of them felt this weird feeling in stomach, one they had felt before but it had been a long time and that weird feeling was getting stronger and stronger again.
