Enjoy!...
Jen woke early as usual, but was happily content to rouse still encompassing Tilly's body, her hand being held tightly across the teen's chest. Jen lifted her head slightly to try and see Tilly's face, but couldn't reach up far enough without disturbing her, so she just lay her head back down on the pillow and snuggled back into her, kissing her softly on the back of the neck as she did so.
Tilly began to stir at her touch and twisted around, her eyes still closed, but gripping Jen's hand intently. She began trying to open her eyes, which were only allowing her a millisecond at a time, her eyelids lifting and lowering in a rhythmic state until they could function properly.
'Ow I'm sorry Tilly, I didn't mean to wake you,' Jen whispered, 'go back to sleep, it's still early.'
'No, no, it's fine…I'm awake,' replied Tilly slowly, still battling with her eyelids.
Jen smiled at her adorable morning face. 'You look so cute right now,' Jen said softly, 'I wish I could wake up like this with you every day.'
Tilly slowly smiled in agreement, her brain still trying to gather itself and take in what Jen was saying. She tugged her arm to pull her into a squeeze, 'I wish you could to,' she replied, the words barely coming out.
The pair stayed in their embrace for a while before Jen finally moved to nip to the bathroom. 'Brrr it's freezing out there!' She said as she returned to the warmth of the bed. Tilly turned over to pull Jen into her arms to warm her up. 'Mmm…much better, thank you,' Jen said with a smile, lifting her head to peck Tilly on the lips. She dipped her head back onto Tilly's chest, whilst the red-head kissed her silky hair, stroking her fingers through it softly.
'I love you Jen…thank you so much for organising this,' Tilly said earnestly, her words and manner being much more coherent and alive now.
Jen smiled, 'we haven't done anything yet…All we've managed to see is the inside of this room, and the local pub!'
Tilly smirked and let out a snigger, 'well…yeah…but that in itself has been perfect,' she said in response, 'I just really appreciate you doing this you know. You're amazing!'
Jen smiled shyly before lifting her head and kissing Tilly tenderly. 'I just…' she contemplated what to say, whether to go into her feelings, but simply went with, 'I love you to Tilly…so so much,' as that seemed to encompass it.
Their eyes lost themselves in one another's momentarily, Jen leaning up for another kiss before resting her head again.
'So what's the plan for today then?...Should we be getting up?' Tilly asked.
'Hmm, possibly…but I'm so comfy right now…I don't want to move,' Jen said as Tilly laughed and began to get herself up, 'Come on you…We can't spend all day in bed, however much we'd like to.'
Jen groaned as the comfort of her Tilly pillow disappeared, and her head plopped down onto the bed. 'Meany!' she retorted as Tilly made her way to the bathroom with a chuckle.
Not long had passed when Tilly came out in just a towel, with another wrapped around her hair. 'Mmm,' said Jen seductively joking, 'that's a good look on you!' She hopped out of the bed and made her way over to Tilly, attempting to unravel her. 'I can't help thinking you'd look even better without this though,' she said with a smirk, tugging at the towel.
'Oy you!...Go and get yourself in that shower!...You know we'll never leave if you do that!' she said, gripping her towel for dear life, trying to hold on to her dignity.
'Owwwww,' Jen grumbled, sticking out her bottom lip. Tilly leaned in as if to kiss her, but instead grinned, spanked her bottom, and said 'Go on!...Off you go!...Chop chop!'
Jen unwillingly did as she said, trying to suppress a smirk at Tilly's teasing.
Before long, both women were ready to go down to breakfast. It was a continental buffet with a great deal of choice. They got themselves suitably full before grabbing their things and making their way out to the car.
'I saw a little shop round the corner last night…Lets just grab some bits to have for lunch later,' Jen suggested as they set off in that direction.
It was another hot, sunny day, they were being very lucky with the weather so far. Both women were in vest tops, Tilly's hugging her figure, paired with some shorts, whereas Jen wore a baggy almost see-through grey top, faintly showing her bra through the material, teamed with a short floaty patterned skirt.
With bags full of food, they headed back to the car ready to get going.
'Where are we off to then?' Tilly asked, in the hope that Jen would forget her secrecy and let it slip.
'You'll find out soon enough,' Jen said with a smirk, not going to be tripped up by Tilly's probing questions.
They drove their way through some beautiful scenery before arriving at a car park surrounded by trees and hills.
'Derwent Water?' Tilly enquired, not being able to see any form of water around them.
Jen just smiled as she grabbed their bags from the boot and took a hold of Tilly's hand, leading them along the track that finally ended up at the water front.
'Wow,' said Tilly with a squeeze of Jen's hand. 'This is beautiful!'
There was a row of largish wooden rowing boats all lined up, with numerous Jetties sticking out into the water holding rows of motor boats. The sun was beating down onto the calm water, glistening its way across the soft ripples.
'Come on,' Jen smiled as they made their way over to a queue.
Tilly smiled at Jen as she spotted the sign for 'boat tours.' She flashed her an adoring smile and leaned in to peck her on the cheek. 'You're so cute!' She said earnestly.
A large double decker boat had just docked to let off the previous passengers, as the new group all began to pile on. The top deck was open aired so they made their way up and took up some seats by the edge.
'It's so calm,' said Tilly, 'I could look at this view all day!'
Jen had been watching Tilly since they sat down, in awe of her innocence, her face completely lit up with the appreciation of their natural surroundings. Jen continued her gaze and agreed, 'yes, I could look at this view all day to,' she said looking Tilly up and down seductively as the red-head turned and caught her focussing on her body. She smiled shyly and leaned over to kiss her. 'You're missing the view!' she said, as Jen replied with a smile, 'I'm not missing a thing.' Her gaze was now focussed straight into Tilly's gleaming blue eyes. Tilly's face glowed as she leant in again for another kiss, ecstatic that she could have this effect on her. She grabbed Jen's hand and they both sat looking out over the water and surrounding hills for a good while, lost in its beauty.
'Oh wow!...Look at the light over there!' Jen exclaimed suddenly, jumping up and rummaging for her camera. 'Back in a mo,' she said as she headed for the back of the boat and started snapping.
Tilly turned backwards to watch her, unknowingly smiling before getting up and going to join her.
Jen had stopped taking photos momentarily and was just stood pressed against the metal bar before her, one hand clutching it, and the other relaxed by her side holding the camera. Tilly came up behind her and slid her hands round Jen's waist, bringing her head forward to rest her chin on her shoulder. 'Did you get some good ones?' she asked, referring to Jen's photographs.
'I hope so…I can't see the screen to check in this sun,' she replied disheartened. 'The way the sun is poking through those hills is so beautiful though! I hope I managed to capture it!' She said, lost in her artists minds. 'Come here you,' she added as she turned herself around and put her arm around Tilly's neck, pulling her in closely. 'Smile!' she said as she lifted the camera above them to take a photo. Tilly quickly turned in and kissed Jen on the cheek as the shutter went down and the picture was taken. Jen smiled and went to take another one, this time turning herself right into the teen and pulling her in for a passionate kiss on the lips.
'Would you like me to take one of the two of you?' came the voice of a friendly middle aged man wearing socks with sandals, and a camera around his neck – a true tourist!
'Aw that would be great! Thank you!...It's just that button there,' Jen replied appreciatively, handing him the camera and showing him what to do.
The pair cuddled up with a hand around each other's waists, smiling sweetly for the camera. The man took two just to be sure, before handing it back to Jen as she thanked him.
The artist in Jen was shining through as she began taking some more photos of the scenery from different angles. Tilly couldn't help but laugh as she was bending down and sticking her bum out in order to get the railings in the foreground. God I love you! She thought to herself.
They'd returned to their seats to enjoy the rest of the trip. The boat stopped at the other end of the lake for passengers to get off if they wished, able to explore and later return on a following tour boat.
The pair got off and wandered their way around the water to a secluded patch of rocky beach, no sand, just stones and natural debris that had been washed up by the water.
Jen set out the picnic blanket whilst Tilly rummaged through the food bag.
'This could not be any more perfect!' Tilly said between mouthfuls. 'Scorching sun…Beautiful surroundings…mountains of food!…and of course…you!...Thank you…I love you!'
Jen smiled and leant in for a peck which turned into a lingering tender kiss. She flicked Tilly's nose affectionately with her own before pulling back. She hesitated before saying sincerely, 'I love you to,' a hint of emotion trying to break through.
Tilly smiled observing Jen's eyes beginning to get a bit watery. 'Hey, are you ok?' she said, hoping her assumption was right, that her tears were those of happiness and nothing worse.
Jen reassuringly tried to smile back, embarrassed by her emotions, tipping her head back to try and let them seep back in. 'I…have never felt better!' she finally stated quite confidently, trying to appear ok. 'I've just never met anyone like you…I've never felt like this about anyone before…I feel like however much I try, I just can't get enough of you...and being here with you, just us…I can't describe it!' She paused for a moment to collect her thoughts. 'To think of all the times I nearly screwed this up…I don't know where I'd be without you…and I am so sorry, and grateful you took me back.' She smiled and tried to lighten the tone again by adding, 'so, yes, you're right…this is perfect!'
Tilly's face glowed, grinning from ear to ear listening to Jen's words. She didn't quite know how to reply, as nothing she would say could quite match up to that beautiful sentimentality. She moved in close to Jen's lips and whispered slowly, 'likewise…completely and utterly!' before pushing her lips softly against Jen's. She felt a tear drop from Jen's eyes onto her cheek and pulled away, lifting her hands to cup her face before stroking away her tears with her thumbs. She leant in and kissed each eye individually, then the tip of her nose, and then her lips.
They held their gaze momentarily before Tilly picked up her sandwich and took a big bite into it, both women laughing at its moment killer.
When they'd finished eating they both lay back on the blanket and just listened to the peaceful silence. The odd bird would chirp, and the water would lap quietly against the rocky shoreline, but it was harmony. Tilly took a hold of Jen's hand and pulled it onto her tummy, the pair completely content and happy lying in silence wishing they could stay there together forever.
