Chapter 12
The lake was like a sanctuary, it was peaceful and calming. It savoured all things unique and allowed special things to grow untouched and undisturbed. The love Jen and Tilly shared was sacred, it had developed even though it was not pushed and desired even though it was deemed forbidden. They sat holding each others hands, holding onto each others hearts. They chatted about the last few weeks apart and what they had been up to. It was the company they had both missed. "I cant believe no one ever comes here its so tranquil and beautiful" Jen remarked, "Yeah, to be honest I have only walked by here, but now im sat here it is somewhere I think id come more often." She smiled back. "Maybe you could meet me here tomorrow night?" Jen asked suggestively, she wanted another alone date with the girl. "I could, maybe. Shall we say 8?" Tilly teased. "Yep il be here waiting" they both looked back down to the water smiling as they accomplished another conversation that had not ended up in them throwing themselves at each other, even though the wooden path was looking rather inviting all of a sudden.
Jen did not want the teenager to think that all of their meetings was going to be about pleasuring each other, she wanted intimacy with the girl but sometimes it was nice in a relationship to just be the best of friends and laugh and joke without clothes being torn away. She was struggling to tell herself what she believed to be the appropriate thing, her urges were strong and she was always aroused by Tilly, she just didn't want the girl to get into a rhythm of thinking that was all they were.
After an hour the drizzle picked up and they were both becoming soaked by the rain. They stood up and looked for nearby cover and spotted a tree, hand in hand they ran over, water splashing up their already soaked legs. They listened to the rain bounce off the floor, and the thunder beginning to rumble ahead of them. Jen looked to Tilly whose face was becoming concerned with the light beginning to fork in the sky. Jen loved thunder and lightning, she loved the noises, the claps of thunder and the piercing sound of lightning as it confidently shot its sparks to any direction it pleases. She held Tilly's hand a little tighter, sensing the girl becoming scared. Tilly jumped at each clap and shut her eyes when the lightning hit, she trembled. "Till do you want to move, we can go back to the house, I don't want you to be scared babe?" Jen asked concerned, "No im ok, honest" she looked at Jen and forced a fake smile, it was obvious by the shakes she was not ok. "Tilly you are shaking, come on" Jen pulled the teenagers hand and tried to pull her away from under the tree to run home, Tilly however was not moving. "Jen I want to stay, I have always been scared of this weather, but …" she broke off, she looked embarrassed again, "When im with you I feel I can face my fears, can we stay, just a little longer" Jen was touched, this was what she wanted, she wanted them not only to share their fears to each other but help each other through them.
She stepped back under the tree, her hair drenched and stuck to her face, she smiled and held the girls hand again. Tilly looked back thankful, there was another clap and Tilly instinctively shut her eyes, Jen's hand shot out and pulled the girls face to her own, "Don't shut your eyes, look into mine" she was trying to make the girl associate the noise with a moment, something that would not scare her in the future. A clap came again and Tilly squeezed her eyes shut temporarily and opened them before the clap ended, it was progress. Jen smiled, there was a bright sharp fork and the puddle next to them lit up. "Its just light babe, it wont hurt you" she chuckled, it could hurt you if it hit you, and they were stood under a tree of all places, but she didn't want to scare the girl anymore. "Keep your eyes on mine" another clap was looming, it was like a tsunami brewing you can hear the water sucking itself back before it crashing itself forward. Tilly could feel the air pressure retracting and she held her breath till the next clap, she was staring into Jens eyes controlling her mind, this woman would not let a thing in this world hurt her, and Tilly believed it, the only thing that could hurt her was this love stopping. The next clap came and Tilly forced her eyes to stare into Jen's, they did not falter or blink, she was completely there, and in that moment Tilly belief was they would be forever. The clouds had opened but so had Tilly's heart.
The thunderstorm was completely underway, the pair were still stood, hand in hand and eyes locked. Tilly blinked when Jen did and even followed her breathing pattern, like so many times they had become one. The claps did not even register with Tilly now, she did not jump or even move she was focused on Jen. Jen was in a trance she was helping the teen but she was being taken to a complete higher state, she felt like she was meditating. Her surroundings were not even coming into sight she could see was the pupil in Tilly's eye. She was mesmerised as it went from being bigger than the iris when she was terrified, to a small ring, this told her she had calmed the teenager but now it was becoming bigger again and she knew the teenager was feeling what she was. She was becoming engulfed with the intense wave rising in her stomach, she ran her hand along Tilly's ear, combing back her wet hair, the trail followed across her face and circled her chin. She cheekily poked the girls cheek where two dimples were forming as the girl was agreeing to the touch. Jen leant in and kissed the girl gently. The kiss felt electric like the weather they were one with nature, their primal instincts were kicking in. Their hands found the back of each others heads and they grasped onto each other as the kiss intensified. Jen's back was against the tree, the slippery bark making it difficult to stay in one place. The scene was messy, hands grappling and both sliding to keep balance, but the passion was overpowering and neither stopped. Jen moved forward, their wet clothes moving as their bodies touched. Jen's hands were having difficulty getting under Tilly's top as it stuck to the girls back. She was becoming frustrated, she broke off the kiss and looked at the uncooperating top frowning. Tilly felt the frustration and grabbed Jen's hand and they ran down the street to Tilly's house.
Jen stopped outside the front door hesitantly, this was a bad idea. She was Tilly's teacher and her mother knew that as she had seen her on parents evening, the teacher and her student caught in an embrace was not a situation Jen could talk her way out of. Tilly could feel Jen's hand pull back, "Jen no one is home, my dad is away and my mum is in work till 7, were fine, lets just dry off" she smiled and Jen calmed. They walked into the house and into the living room. They were soaked to the skin, Tilly caught herself admiring Jen's body, she could see every inch and curve as her clothes clung to her. She looked around the kitchen and grabbed a tea towel, shaking her head and laughing at the thought of that drying both of them.
"Upstairs Gilmore" she teasingly stated, causing a raised eyebrow from the teacher. She followed the teen to the stairs and watched for a moment as the girl walked up the stairs, she was checking her out. Her socks squelched as she stood on each step, trying to resist the urge to run to catch up with Tilly who was already at the top and enjoying the view of Jen's assets moving with each step. "Tilly, your making me nervous" Tilly leant on the banister, "Why im not doing anything" she replied mocking innocence. "Your eyes are peeling my clothes off, I feel like im walking towards a shark tank, your going to devour me" she laughed, and her head took her back to the scene in the aquarium. Tilly caught the memory too and she knew how turned on she was with Jen pressed up against her with people all around, "I still haven't got you back for that day" she replied knowing Jen was referencing it. "I am eagerly awaiting your punishment" she held her hands out mimicking waiting for cuffs to be placed upon them. Tilly pulled Jen's hands, taking her onto the last but one step so she was level with her, "Your going to pay Gilmore" she leant in whispering into Jen's ear causing the teacher to let out a raspy breath. She stood onto the top step over towering the teenager, it was a sexy move as her breasts became level with the teenagers eyes, she stared for a moment, hands itching to reach out, she felt a tug on the back of her hair and looked up to Jen's face. Jen's hand ran suggestively from Tilly's neck down to the zip on her trousers and back up, Tilly's eyes followed the move. "Is this my punishment" she tilted her head she was completely in control, the teenager was under her summon and she knew it. Jen kissed the girl's forehead as Tilly kissed the middle of her neck, she could feel the teacher swallow and she found her lips and they locked lips.
They stumbled along the landing still keeping their lips busy, pushing each other with their bodies to somewhere they could fall onto, Jen didn't know Tilly's house, she had no clue where her room was so she allowed the teen to direct her. She found her way to a door frame and kicked the door with her heal and stepped backwards into the room. Tilly's eyes opened checking for a moment it was her room and after nodding Jen knew they were in the right place. There kiss became forceful they knew what they wanted, Jen was totally in the teens trust as she was led backwards. Her heal hit something and she moaned slightly not able to turn her head back to see, she felt her feet go from under her and she landed on her bum onto a chair, convenient she thought. Tilly became straddled on her and they kissed, moving each others wet hair out of their face. Tilly was becoming excited she could feel herself grinding the teachers lap as Jen kissed her neck and chest. Her hands were guiding Jen's head as she bit the top of Tilly's top and pulled it up with her hands from her waist, she threw the top to the floor with a squelch, she ran her hands along Tilly's sides, she was still damp from her wet clothes. Tilly's hands were working their way down Jen's back and back around to her front, she found a breast and started massaging it. Things were heating up and Tilly was bouncing in Jen's lap, Jen was enjoying the movement as she ran her hands into Tilly's pants gripping her ass.
With a deafening thud Tilly landed on top of Jen causing her to yelp out in pain, the chair had broke beneath them. Tilly erupted in a fit of giggles, she playfully slapped Jen trying to catch her breath before the snorting started. Jen did not reciprocate instead tears began forming in her eyes, she was hurt. "Jen you ok, Jen?" Tilly rolled off the teacher and pulled her into a sitting position causing another yelp "My rib Tilly, I think its broke or bruised or something" Jen was sobbing now she had really been hurt by Tilly's elbow as they fell to the floor. She stood taking in a deep painful breath. "Tilly help me with this" she was referring to her top, she had one arm out of it, she had not even realised Tilly had started to undress her. Tilly lifted her arm trying to place it back into the sleeve, "Shhh I know it hurts im sorry. Shhh its ok" she was trying to calm her but the pain of lifting her arm with a painful rib was proving difficult. She managed to slip the arm back into the top and helped Jen down the stairs, this was not the outcome Jen had planned after frolicking in the rain.
They got the emergency room and Jen was seen, she came back out and waited for an x-ray, Tilly twiddled her fingers in her lap and looked glum, she felt guilty. "Tilly this is not your fault" Jen tried reassuring her but she did not believe her, "It was my fault, it was me jumping on the chair Jen I shouldn't have been so stupid, I have a bed for Christ's sake" she shook her head, letting a tear fall out. "Hey I was enjoying you on the chair, accidents happen babe, don't beat yourself up" Jen was in pain but the pain from her rib was nothing compared to seeing her lover upset. "You did say I was going to receive a punishment ha" she was playing, trying to cheer up the teen who had become defensive with the sentence "I did not mean to hurt you, I would never hurt you, how could you…" Jen leant in and kissed her quickly, the teen was working herself up. "Hey im the one who has to go lay in there and have photos done, cheer up" Tilly smiled. "Id take better ones" she chuckled, her spirits lifted. How does Jen do this to me … she smiled and it was genuine.
The pair stayed in the hospital for four hours in total, the joys of NHS Jen thought. Jen was sent for an x-ray and then had to wait to be seen by a doctor who gave her some painkillers and they were on their way home. Turns out there was not much they can do for a bruised rib expect pain relief. Jen was uncomfortable every time the cab went over a bump and she winced, making Tilly's protective hand squeeze her leg. She was happy Tilly was with her she hated hospitals they always freaked her out.
The cab pulled up outside Jen's house, Tilly didn't want her to have to walk back home and be in anymore pain. She ran up the steps with Jen's keys and opened the door, running back down trying to support Jen up the stairs. They got into the living room and Diane greeted them, she was dressed up and had an umbrella in her hands, "Hey you two, oh my what happened Jen". They explained Jen had jumped when she heard lightening and fell down the stairs by the pub and Tilly had seen and helped her to the hospital. "Well I feel awful now Sinead is out with Bart, they have gone into town for the night and im off out with some old friends, your going to be alone tonight. I'll tell you what I will cancel" Jen jumped in, "Don't cancel, I'll be fine il run a bath and im shattered anyway. Honestly Di there is no need I will be asleep soon enough" she smiled a believable smile and Diane was convinced. "Ok if your sure hun, ive been looking forward to this all week. Night" with a kiss to Jen's cheek and a hand to Tilly's shoulder she left.
"Would you mind staying for a bit" Jen asked Tilly, "No, not at all, Jen id stay with you for a life time. No need to ask, and Diane did say no one would be alone tonight" she winked back. "Yeah she did" she smiled too, "Although no more chair play Till, I don't want to break a leg or anything. I wont be able to chase you" Jen replied cheekily, she poked Tilly in her side and went to tickle her, causing her rib to pull and she winced. She was injured, this was going to be no fun at all.
Tilly walked her slowly up the stairs and ran a bath, she checked the temperate with her hand and walked back over to Jen who was leaning against the sink dreading having to take off her clothes with this rib. Tilly bent down and removed the teachers shoes and socks one by one. Jen supported her hand on Tilly's shoulder as the teenager took off her trousers, she stood back up and lifted her arms gently so she could lift up the teachers top over her head. Jen allowed her to do it and enjoyed being taken care of. She was uncomfortable, she knew Tilly would have to take off her underwear, the teen had done this a few times when they were caught in the mist of lust but this was different. Tilly was uncomfortable too, she hated seeing Jen so vulnerable, she hugged her gently cautious of her injury and unclasped her bra, she pulled it down her arms and placed it on the sink and bent down to take off the teachers knickers. Her hair brushed Jen's knee and she could not help to feel slightly flustered. She leant on Tilly and got into the bath. They sat in silence for a few minutes, "Are you ok?" Tilly asked, "Yeah fine babe just been a strange day" they both nodded to this. They didn't speak, the sexual tension was creeping in, Tilly was confused, she knew the teacher was hurt but it was the most sensual thing she had ever done. Jen felt the same but did not say a word either she wasn't sure whether the teenager was feeling the same or bored with helping a woman out of her clothes.
Tilly helped Jen out of the bath and wrapped a towel around her and led her into her room, she had completely taken on the role of the caring companion and Jen was touched. She sat on the edge of the bed and swallowed her painkillers. Tilly came back into the room with one of Jen's art aprons on, mockingly trying to look like a doctor. Jen let out a laugh and brought her hands forward, she wanted a hug. Tilly came over and hugged the teacher gently, she kissed her and rolled her backwards. She pulled the towel down a little gathering the access fabric in her hands and started patting Jen dry, she undid the towel further and kissed each breast lovingly, she hovered back up to find Jen's lips and kissed them wantingly, she wanted to know that it was ok to be touching her. Jen held onto the girls apron and kissed her back giving her full permission. She went back to the towel and stood back "In my opinion this needs to go" she smirked, Jen raised an eyebrow and smiled "If that's what Dr Evans suggests" Tilly opened the towel and let it lie either side of Jen, she could see the bruise beginning to appear on Jen's rib, she leant in and lifted the breast and kissed where the bruise was purpling. It send a shot of pain through Jen's side but it was a bearable and oddly sexual pain, she enjoyed it. "Tilly" she called and Tilly lifted her head cautious, "Are you ok, am I hurting you I can stop" Tilly exclaimed hands in the air. "Don't ever stop, just be gentle with me" Jen smirked, she wanted this touch she wanted them to do what lovers do.
Loving someone is making the others wishes come true and trying to take their fears away. If you allow yourself to love your there through the best and worst times. Sometimes dying is required and other times killing seems the most dramatic solution. You can give the person you love the greatest gift, by being there.
