Chapter 39

Jen had returned back to Dianes with a smile on her face, although she needed a lot more sleep, she felt horrible, but the one thing keeping her going was the face she got to spend the first part of the college day looking at her lover. On the way home Jen kept finding herself laughing out loud to the fact her falling asleep with the door locked so Tilly couldn't get in the room.

When Jen returned she was welcomed with the usual O'Connor family moments off arguing over nothing. Politely ignoring what was going on and going to her bedroom to get dressed for work.

Now Tilly was finally able to get in her room she started to get herself ready for the college day, she didn't know how on earth she would be able to think in her lessons with no sleep. Multiple cups of coffee wouldn't even do the trick. Tilly's mind kept referring back to her mother telling her there was a surprise for the weekend but most of all the fact she was getting to see her beautiful girlfriend first thing, exchanging their secret glances and passing flirty messages as the lesson goes by. It always made the lessons more exiting.

Finally ready just as she was making her way down the stairs Sinaed was knocking on the door. Quickly grabbing her bag Tilly left the house, arms linked hurrying to the college because of the bad weather, they were freezing.

Jen arrived at college later than she normally would, but earlier than she needed to be there so she still had plenty off time to get work organised for the college day.

Tilly and Sinaed arrived a little early so decided to grab a coffee and relax in the common room for ten before Tilly would have to get to Art.

Tilly for one couldn't wait to see her lover again.

''How you feeling after last night then?'' Laura asked looking ill

''Terrible, my parents wouldn't let me go back to sleep when I got in'' Tilly replied

''I seen Jen just then she looks as bad as us'' Laura laughed

''Jen?'' Sinaed asked puzzled

Laura obviously hadn't realised what she was saying in the company of Sinaed. She wasn't bothered about people knowing she was out with Tilly but obviously forgot Jen did.

''Erm we seen her in one off the clubs last night with her friends'' Laura quickly wipped in seeing the terror look in Tillys eyes. Sinaed looked at Laura funny before she walked away and much to Tillys releif it was finally time to head to class.

'Save by the bell' Tilly thought as herself and Sinaed left in their different directions.

Jen stood herself at the door as her students started to arrive in small groups. Noticing one girl in particular walking behind everyone with her big bright eyes and her huge smile as she brushed by Jen straight into the class room. Taking in the sweet scent off her perfume Jen instantly felt ready for the rest of the day. Pulling her phone out and quickly texting Tilly.

'You smell nice today my lovely'

Tilly knew exactly why her phone was buzzing in her pocket, it was always the same. Jen the first to start texting Tilly during their lesson together.

'Unlike someone this morning then? ;)'

The cheeky but flirty messages went on for a further 20 minutes before Jen realized she did need to make her way around the room to help others, and finally let Tilly get on with her own work. She didn't want Tilly falling behind because of her that was for sure. Finally a couple of minutes before the end Jen came to Tilly, who was glued to her work, Jen could see the concentration as she was working. She didn't really want to interrupt that, quietly and slowly walking around the back off Tillys desk only to be stopped by Tilly grabbing her hand causing her to jump.

''Think I didn't know you were there Miss Gilmore'' Tilly whispered with a wink.

''Your doing great Tilly, keep it up'' Jen smiled loving towards her girl, walking back to the front of the class to tell all students to start packing away their things and to leave. Obviously asking Tilly to stay behind for a little kiss, to help her through the rest of the day.

''Something I can help you with?'' Tilly smiled.

''Oh you know, the usual'' Jen replied pulling Tilly to where they weren't in sight off the class room door.

Tilly was scared but exited, this was something that got her body rushing, the panic of being caught by someone, you'd think after everything the two had been through they'd be a little more careful but no, that was boring. What was the fun in that? Sharing a loving but passionate kiss before the second bell rung. Tilly had to leave, Jens next class would be here soon and Tilly really didn't want to be late either.

''I love you'' Jen whispered.

Tilly smiled. This is how things should be, except having to hide away of course. ''I love you too, more than you could imagine'' and with that, she was gone.

The rest off the day passed quickly, Jen and Tilly again passing through various messages. It was the thought off both missing one another that helped the two through the day so easily. That didn't stop Jen thinking about sleep as soon as she got home, nor did it with Tilly either.

Finally, the time Tilly had been waiting for had come. Back home to find out what her parents had planned for her, she didn't know why or what the surprise was for but she was looking forward to having it anyway. Collecting herself together before rushing her way home to be welcomed by her parents with tea.

They sat at the table together as they sat down and ate, Tilly was itching to find out what was going on and that didn't go unnoticed by her parents either.

''We're going to Spain for a long weekend dear, the family, together'' said her mother.

That, was not what she expected at all. A long weekend away with her parents in the sun. Of course it would be boring with her parents but she could make her own fun, of course she was going to miss Jen like hell, but they could make up the time anytime. This, was actually something Tilly was looking forward to.

'Fun, sun and sea here I come' Tilly thought.

An early night was definitely on the cards for tonight, for both.
