Jen walked up Tillys path cautiously. This was really risky, she was assuming that Tillys parents weren't there or she wouldn't have been able to have the party but she wasn't 100% sure and it would look a bit suspicious for a teacher to be rocking up at half 4 in the morning. She noticed all the lights were still on downstairs so she made her way to the window, stepping over the booze fuelled puddles of vomit on her way. She peered through the living room window and rolled her eyes at the state of it. It looked trashed. Nope, her parents definitely weren't in. Jen took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. She stood shivering still in her dressing gown and slippers. She rang it again and again until she heard a voice. "Alright! Keep your biker boots on!" Tilly slurred inbetween giggles remembering her joke from earlier. She stopped giggling when she opened the door to a less than impressed Jen. "My biker boots?" Jen frowned. "Ah Jen!" Tilly ignored Jens obvious annoyance and pulled her inside the house closing the door behind them. "So glad you're here. I was just thinking about you and look! Here you are! Spooky eh? We are so… You and me… so…" Tilly clicked as she struggled to think of the word. "Tilly you are wasted!" Jen struggled to hold her up. "I'm not…" Tilly stumbled falling against Jen "Well maybe a little bit…" She burst into a fit of giggles. She rest her head on Jens chest. As disappointed with Tilly as she was Jen still got butterflies as she held Tilly. She stroked her hair and rested her head on hers. They just stood holding each other in silence for a few moments. "Ugh I'm gonna be sick!" Tilly heaved and Jen quickly pulled her towards the bathroom. Tilly leant over the toilet and was violently sick. Although it was also knocking Jen a bit sick she stood with her and rubbed her back. Once Tilly had stopped being sick she sobered up slightly. Standing up she held her pounding head in her hands and avoided eye contact with Jen. Sensing Tillys embarrassment, Jen smiled kindly. "Come on you… Let's get you to bed." Jen pulled her close, put her arm around her shoulders and walked her to her room. Once they were there Jen helped Tilly undress. Tilly raised her arms and Jen pulled her soiled vest top off over her head. Tilly looked Jen straight in the eyes. Inches apart, their pounding hearts echoed each others eyes full of desire. "Erm I don't think so young lady" Jen laughed. "Straight to sleep for you… College in a couple of hours" Tilly groaned at the thought as she lay down. Jen stroked her head "Feel any better?" She smiled down caringly at a really embarrassed Tilly who just nodded. "Right well don't even think about missing my lesson today… a hangover is no excuse! See you later" Jen winked and turned to leave but Tilly grabbed her hand. "Stay with me?" Tilly looked up at Jen, eyes wide and pleading. Jen thought about it for a moment and was about to decline until she saw the sad look on Tillys face. Jen nodded "Of course" She slipped off her dressing gown and climbed into the other side of the bed behind Tilly, spooning her knees into Tillys, wrapping her arm around her waist and resting her head on her shoulder. Jen planted a gentle kiss on Tillys cheek before they drifted off to sleep spooning whilst holding hands.

Two hours later and Jen was awake. She smiled as she noticed they were still in exactly the same position as they were when she'd fallen asleep. She lightly traced her finger tip up Tilly's bare arm that was thrown above the covers. She reluctantly unspooned herself from the sleeping beauty beside her and slipped on her dressing gown. She turned to look at Tilly one last time and quietly slipped out of her room.

Tilly winced as the sunlight came through the window. She opened her eyes and instantly felt dread as her head felt like it was about to explode. She quickly turned around in the bed... Jen wasn't there. Phew that had just been a dream. Thank god for that. Normally she'd feel disappointed that her dream wasn't reality when she woke up and Jen wasn't there. Not this time though. This time she was glad Jen hadn't actually saw the state she was in, witnessed her vomit and had to put her to bed. Tilly's mouth felt like sandpaper. As she made her way downstairs she made a promise to herself that she would never ever drink again. She also cursed at how far away the kitchen was. She'd never noticed before but right now she felt like she was stumbling lightheaded for ages. When she finally got to the kitchen she jumped out of her skin when she saw Jen sat at the table with a cup of coffee.

"Good morning sunshine..." Jen looked far too gorgeous. No make up, hair scraped back and a massive smile on her face.

"Morning" Tilly just about mustered up the strength to mumble back. She closed her eyes as she suddenly got the fear about last night. The living room had got trashed. She'd made a complete fool out of herself in front of the woman she loved and quite frankly wanted to just curl up in bed and forget all about it.

"Guessing you feel even worse than you look?" Jen raised her eyebrows. "Here get this down you..." She slid a cup of coffee across the table. Although she was doing her best to be disappointed in Tilly she couldn't help but smile as butterflies danced in her stomach. This was a perfect morning. Despite Tilly's hangover. It was almost as if they were a normal uncomplicated couple. Something they both dreamed of. "So what got into you last night?" Jen frowned as Tilly tried to stomach her coffee.

"What do you mean?" Tilly shrugged. "Well it's not like you is it? You're normally so..."

"Boring?" Tilly cut Jen off. "Is that how you see me?"

"No obviously not. More sensible. It's one of the things I love about you. It makes me giggle"

Shit. The word sensible triggered Tilly to think about the state of the living room. she really didn't want to deal with that right now. She rushed out of the kitchen to assess the damage. She opened the door, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them she couldn't believe it. The room was spotless. Apart from a few missing ornaments you'd never have known there'd been a party. Jen appeared behind Tilly and wrapped her arms around her waist pulling her back so she could lean on her shoulder.

"Jen... Did you do this?"

"Yeah. Well I knew you'd be feeling bad enough this morning without waking up to the mess in here" Jen looked at her watch and rolled her eyes. "Damn I better go... Gonna be late. I need to go home and change before college" Jen went to rush passed Tilly. Tilly grabbed her hand and pulled her back. She looked deep into Jens eyes. "Thank you" Jen looked back into Tilly's eyes. She leant forward and gently kissed her enveloping Tilly's bottom lip Inbetween hers at first and then gently massaging her tongue with her own. Tilly pulled back for a moment to look up at Jen. "Rule breaker" Tilly smirked.

"Baby, I think the rule book pretty much went out of the window last night didn't it?" Jen laughed stroking away a piece of stray hair that had fallen onto Tilly's face.

"I really have to go now." Jen widened her eyes. "Don't be late!" She quickly pecked Tilly on the lips and Tilly watched her leave. Jen had never looked so cute, in her dressing gown and slippers. Tilly felt like death from tall the vodka last night yet more alive than ever. More in love than ever. She watched Jen drive off and instantly started to miss her already. She ran upstairs to get her phone to text her and tell her and she got butterflies when she saw she had a text. Probably Jen, beat her to it. She opened it. "Hey Tils hope you're not too rough this morning! See you in a bit. Lexie." Erm what? Had Tilly given her her number? She felt a pang of guilt but quickly pushed it to the back of her mind. She hadn't done anything wrong. She'd never even want to look at anyone else while she had the most beautiful woman in the world. Never. So why had she felt the need to impress her so much last night?
