They both looked at each other as they heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Jen had turned white with fear she couldn't move, Tilly was holding on to Jens arm that tightly that she was starting to lose the colour in her arm. "Matilida!" they heard again, getting closer this time.
Tilly looked at Jen. "Its my Gran! " she said.
"Gran, im in the bath ill be down in a second!"
"ok, love" she replied ill go and stick the kettle on.
Both the girls quickly jumped out the bath, Jen scrambled for a towel.
"Oh god Tilly what am I going to do, we were so close to getting caught. I have to leave! How am I going to get out the house?" Jen rambled
"Chill out Jen, just go into my bedroom and stay there ill go and see what she wants she wont come up here I promise"
"chill out, how can I Chill out I have just nearly been caught naked in the bath with my student by her grandmother!"
Tilly was quite taken back by Jens remark. Jen was oblivious to what she had just said; she was too worried about Tillys Gran being down stairs.
"Oh right just your student am I? Right well go and stay in your students bedroom, then you can leave!" Tilly said with quite a bit of attitude.
Jen didn't know what to say she walked out of the bathroom and straight into Tillys room, with her head down. She could feel Tilly's eyes burning into her as they followed her out of the bathroom. Tilly quickly through her clothes on and went down stairs.
"Hiya, Gran she said… what brings you here?"
"well, your mum phoned me dear said that she had to stay in London and because it was so last minute asked me to come and check to make sure you were ok!"
"well, im fine Gran thank you for stopping by…. You don't have to stay though I was just having a bath then was going to watch some films and go to bed"
"oh… don't have to stay got someone hiding upstairs have we?" her gran said as she raised her eyebrow.
Suddenly Tilly froze.
"What. No. What I meant was. That. Well. I was just going to chill!"
"It's ok Tilly I was just messing around. Im not going to stay any way love im off to my dance. So im glad your ok and ill see you when I see you!"
"yeah, bye Gran!"
Tilly slid down on the door as she closed it, putting her head on to her knees. She was still hurt from Jens remark, now she knew she had to go up and face her about it. She knew Jen would annoyed because of the way she spoke to her. "She'll probably just treat me as a child again….like she always does when the heat gets turned up on our relationship…..Well not this time.. im not letting her walk out on us again I really thought things were going to be ok this time around" Tilly thought to herself.
Tilly eventually made her way upstairs, as she entered her room jen was sat on the edge of the bed with her head down and her hands in her lap. Tilly walked over to her dressing table and lent against it. 'Im sorry' Jen eventually said keeping her eyes fixed to the floor.
'well you could have the decency to look at me when your apologising!'
Jen slowly lifted her head and slowly started to walk over to Tilly. 'Im really really sorry, I got scared, I didn't mean to say what I said.. I just panicked.. please forgive me we were having such a lovely evening' Jen pleaded
Tilly thought it was funny when she saw jen beg… she tried to keep a straight face but all she wanted to was laugh and it took her a while to compose herself so she could respond. Jen was getting annoyed by this point, as being ignored is one of her pet hates. 'you say that you want to be treat like an adult, then when things get a bit tough and we starting having a discussion you ignore me.. so you could at least have the decency to speak to me!"
Tilly couldn't hold her laughter in this time. 'Whats so funny?' Jen said sternly
Tilly walked up the Jen and wrapped her arms around her waist ' You' she said still laughing. Then lent in a kissed Jen deeply, all the fighting and arguing was soon forgotten as they made love until the early hours of the morning and fell asleep In each other's arms.
