The next two weeks passed slowly for the secret pair, between busy schedules and prying eyes, they struggled to find time together. Their relationship had resulted to brushes of hands in public and secret stolen kisses in darkened alleys. Both women longed for the other, for an intimate touch but mostly to just to be in each others company. The more distance that came between them the more they struggled.
Finally the college exams came to an end and Jen's placement completion signaled the start of summer. Tilly waited with bated breath for a shift in circumstances, especially as Jen had become even more distant since Diane had unfortunately caught them kiss. Tilly had a dull painful ache in her stomach, no matter how hard she had tried to distract herself with her exams and friends, she had longed for Jen; she needed the woman she loved.
The teacher had played it down, to her suspicious colleague, as a school girl 'crush' and promised to avoid the teenager in exchange for Diane's professional discretion. Jen was yearning for her girlfriend too, however, she knew that she had been lucky; Diane was well within her rights to report her.
When Maddie had announced an impromptu return trip to Abersoch, Tilly was keen to go; she hoped it would give her a healthy and fun distraction. After all Jen had just told her no relationship could be 24/7. A point the teenager happily threw back in the face of her pouting lover, as she announced to Jen she was leaving for the trip. She did not want to leave the gorgeous brunette behind but the lack of contact, verbal and physical, was becoming painfully overwhelming for the teen; she needed to get away from Hollyoaks and all its reality again.
Jen was devastated by the news, she had also been struggling with the lack of company and was hoping the summer would create better opportunities for them to spend some quality time together. She had sulked in her room for a day missing her now absent lover until she concluded that she could wait no longer. She knew she was crossing a huge relationship boundary, her actions would put Tilly in an awkward position, forcing her to choose between her friends or their relationship; She knew she was in the wrong but she couldn't fight the temptation. She packed a small holdall and jumped in her jeep; she was far to overcome with excitement to care anymore about the consequences.
Tilly is returning from the shop with a bottle of milk when Jen finally spots the red-head in the Welsh village. She curb crawls and admires the teenagers long slender body as she walks down the road; her beauty magnified by the back drop of the serene beach and sea. Tilly is wearing the tiny blue jean shorts that Jen had seductively unzipped in their woodlands visit weeks before; the thought made her sigh heavily remembering her lover collapsing into her arms post orgasm.
"You wanna lift?" Jen asked making her presence known and stifling an excitable laugh behind a huge grin.; Tilly smiles and bites her lip unable to hide the thrill of seeing Jen there. She was, however, quickly taken over by annoyance at the presumptuousness of the teachers intrusion.
Jen notes the teenagers body language as she stands with one hand on her hip to purposefully show her deviance. Trying to lighten the mood the teacher exchanges banter about the weather and her detour to the shops. Both women try to gauge the others response to the situation; acting with nonchalance to hide their internal emotional battle. Jen worried she had over stepped the line with this spontaneous arrival; Tilly struggling with mixed feelings of annoyance and excitement.
"you driving down here and playing it all cool. its suppose to impress me is it?" Tilly continues finally lifting her sun glasses and the unconscious barrier between them. The movement sweeps her fringe off her face to reveal her aqua eyes and her sprinkling of freckles. Jen feels her chest heave as her heart rate increases at the sight. The teen leans on the open window of the passenger's seat and Jen smiles at her girlfriends confident candor.
"That depends..are you impressed?" Jen asks with pleading eyes.
"A bit" replies tilly stubbornly.
"then yes!" retorts Jen with wide eyes and a demented grin. Breaking down the students emotional wall and forcing her to smile.
Tilly finally gives in to the charming brunette and leaves to give her excuses to her friends and pack her bags. Maddie appears extremely pissed off, as Tilly explains about a family emergency. Had the red-head been aware of her best friends personal crisis at her divorcing parents, she would have stayed with out a doubt; Tilly wrongly assumes Maddie's is annoyed at her sudden departure and is relieved when Esther interrupts them. Guilty at the distress she thinks she has caused Maddie, she makes one last attempt to console her friend and tells her to call if she needs anything.
Although the teenager did not want to make a habit of ditching her friends for her secret love affair, she was glad to leave. This trip had fallen far short of their wild adventure the year before. Bart had been permanently stoned, Neil had spent all their money and Sinead was in an awful and loud mood. Even her closest friends seems distant; Maddie was pensive and George was preoccupied with his potential new boyfriend, Ryan. If she was honest, maybe she too was a little distracted by external events. Age and time had changed all of them, Tilly only hoped it was for the better.
Any further doubts she had about choosing to leave, get washed away by the waves crashing across her naked body. She had followed Jen into the sea, who had whipped off her bikini top and ran across the beach to skinny dip. Tilly splashed about in awe of her free-spirited girlfriend; both women liberated, not only from their clothes, but also from their social constraints.
An hour later the girls were holding hands across the table of a local pub; they had driven to the neighboring village to avoid being caught by any of the remaining sixth-formers.
"Are you ok?" Jen asked noticing Tilly lost in thought.
"Yes sorry. It's just everything is so perfect and I'm scared of losing you Jen." Tilly answered honestly. "The last two weeks have been so hard, I've missed this, I've missed us."
"I've missed us too" Jen replies with the cutest smile the teen has ever seen. Jen shuffles slightly and looks at Tilly with a slightly worried look "Can I ask you something?"
"of course." replies Tilly concerned.
"Can I book a room and spend the night with you?" Jen asks out of respect for Tilly's age and experience.
"gawd! One track mind you." Tilly playfully answers with a grin; forcing Jen to giggle. "Yeah. I'd like that." she adds.
The two woman lie face to face in a small but charming bed and breakfast room; they stare at each other and play fondly with each others hands.
"I'm nervous" admits Jen, shocking Tilly at the confession.
"Why? we have been here before." Tilly reassures "and you were amazing." she continues with a wink.
"Not that I didn't thoroughly enjoy our previous adventures, this is different." Jen replies with a playful cuteness.
"Why?" Replies Tilly slightly embarrassed at her naivety.
"because here I plan to make love to you all night long." Jen states with a smile that show off her dimples.
Tilly swallows hard and bites her bottom lip, finally understanding why Jen is so nervous.
