Note: I've never been to San Antonio. Also, I know San Antonio State is a fictional college. I am just going with what I was given from 2008 FNL. Honestly, I think Tim would have been better suited at an out of state college or university but Texas Forever. :)

Also, this story ends in a way that I could continue with a sequel if I want. I'm not sure yet. I have more Tulie to share but I'm not sure if I want it in this JD alternate universe.

Enjoy!

Chapter 29:

On Friday morning Julie could not stop fidgeting. She was excited but nervous. They were leaving after 4th period at around 11:30 AM. She kept staring at the clocks in each class. Finally it was time to go. She went to her mom's office to say goodbye and then Tim and her would go to the Riggins house and hopefully Billy would be ready to go. They packed the car yesterday.

The ride itself would be interesting. Billy had borrowed Mindy's car and they would go I it since it got better gas mileage and had more room. Mindy had made Billy swear only he could drive and nothing would happen to her car.

Julie and Tim decided to sit in the back and let Billy have the front to himself. It was about a 4 – 5 hour drive. Julie had pillows and blankets all stacked in the back for comfort. As she planned, she sat in the back and cuddled with Tim and took a nap. Billy listened to the radio and sometimes chatted with Tim.

Tim rubbed Julie's back, stroked her hair and chatted blissfully with his brother. So far, it was a great trip.

Several hours later they arrived at the hotel. A nice one just a short walk from the River.

Tim nudged Julie.

"Hey Jules, wake up. We're here."

She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

They carried all of their stuff inside. Then got in the elevator with Billy.

They got off on the 6th floor and Billy smiled and handed Tim a key then entered room 604. Tim looked at the key card and saw 605 scrawled on it so he went to the next room and opened that door.

Inside was a king bed.

Oh shit. Tim thought wondering if this was a fail.

Oh goodness. Julie thought nervously.

Tim looked at Julie.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about the bed situation…. I can…"

"Relax Tim, I don't mind." She said dumping her pillows on the bed and flopping down. "ooo it's so soft!"

Tim chuckled and sat next to her.

She pulled him down and kissed him softly.

"I'm glad you brought me with you." She said sweetly.

He kissed her back with a little more force.

"Me too."

She smiled into his kisses.

After some hot making out. Tim decided they both needed to take a shower (separately) and get ready for their date. He went first while Julie lounged on the bed and watched some wedding dress show on TLC.

When Tim was dressed, Julie took her shower and he watched ESPN.

Julie took her time in the shower. This bathroom was heavenly. It had twin shower heads to hit all the right places. When she got out she noticed under the counter it had a pull out bench and the counter had a built in make-up mirror. So while still in her towel she dried her hair into slight waves and did her make up. Then she put on her sexy bra and panties. She, Lois and Tyra had gone shopping and Julie figured tonight might be a reason to wear some of her new underthings. Then she slipped on the royal blue dress she got. She knew they were walking to dinner and it was in the upper 60's so she just planned to wear her denim jacket over with her converse.

Tim thought Julie looked like a goddess in her dress. They walked to a little café on the river walk. Dinner was amazing. They sat on the patio and watched at all the Christmas lights came on. It was just a little over a week till Christmas.

After dinner they walked down the river walk holding hands and making small talk. It was a beautiful night and an amazing date.

On the way back to the hotel, near one festive set of lights, Tim stopped walking and pulled Julie closer to him.

"Julie, I know this has been the best first date in my life."

"Me too Tim." She smiles kissing him.

"I love you Julie Taylor." He says looking in to her eyes.

Her eyes crinkle and a smile lights up her face.

"I love you too Timothy Riggins."

She leans up and kisses him again. He pulls her closer and deepens the kiss.

She pulls away and giggles.

"Let's go back, I want to show you something."

The something she wanted to show Tim was her. All of her. After verbally exclaiming their love she was ready to be physical. She wanted Tim to be her first. She was ready.

"Tim, I'm sure. I've been on the pill for a month and a half. I've thought this through. I trust you. I love you."

"I love you too Julie. Just tell me to stop if you want to stop."

She did not tell him to stop. They made love. Twice.

The next morning, Tim woke up first. Very early. He smiled at Julie sprawled all over the bed. She was twisted in the covers and a quick peek told him they were both still naked.

He pulled her warm naked body to him and with a whispered, "I love you Jules." He fell back asleep cuddled up with her.

A few hours later they showered (together) and met Billy for breakfast. The tour went splendid and they did get to see the English department. If nothing major changed it looked like Tim would be headed to San Antonio State sometime in the summer for football camp. Now they cuddled together while Billy drove them home.

Julie was honestly happy for her boyfriend and very proud of him but she was still anxious for him leaving. Even if it was at least six months away. For now though, they would be spending as much time as possible being young and in love.

Billy approved of their relationship. He honestly thought Tim had improved since helping Julie overcome her attempted rape. His little brother was way more mature than him and probably headed to college. Billy was proud of Tim.

Eric and Tami Taylor approved as well.

To Tim and Julie that's all that mattered. Both of their families were on board with their relationship and they were so in love with each other. And Tim knew, no one was ever going to hurt Julie Taylor again while he, Tim Riggins, was around.

The End
