Chapter 45

Tilly's chapter.

The thought of explaining her girlfriend tomorrow to her parents played on her mind as she lay in bed, she didn't want to drop Jen in the crap in any way, shape or form. As soon as her parents started asking questions about Jen Tilly new fine well she'd clam up and go all weird. She needed to keep calm and act normal. She was doing nothing wrong, the only thing wrong with their relationship was the teacher student thing, and her parents didn't need to know anything about that. Not yet anyway.

Jen had fell asleep within a flash of the light. So comfortable in Tilly's bed. It was so quiet, not hearing Sinaed's winging voice for the night felt great. Jen had finally realized she needed her own space, her own place what she could call her own. She was only supposed to be staying with Diane for a little while anyway, just until she settled in. She needed to look for her own flat, as soon as possible too. Somewhere not to close to Hollyoaks but not to far away either. She knew if she found a flat in Hollyoaks it would be just as hard to spend time with Tilly as it was now, but if she got herself somewhere a little further away, she could spend all the time she wanted. That's what they needed, space and time with one another and that's what Jen was going to make sure she could make for the two of them after everything she had already put her younger lover through. She couldn't wait.

Tilly woke up with the dreaded thoughts of the conversation with her parents today. It was supposed to be a holiday and here she was, scared for her life. Never before has she had to speak to her parents about a girlfriend before. Her father was always glad to the fact Tilly was into girls, he knew what the guys these days were like and when Tilly came out to her parents he couldn't have been any happier, her mother was always there for her too. What ever Tilly's choice was with her life, her parents guided her every step of the way.

Tilly showered and got herself ready for another day ahead in Spain. Choosing a little belly top and some high shorts with the weather being so hot and headed straight down for breakfast with her parents. She could see her parents were desperate to find out about Jen and Tilly for one was ready for the awkward conversation.

''So here it goes. Her name is Jen, we have been together for a long while now. Yes, we have had our ups and downs but we have always got through it together. The fight for our relationship has been to powerful for us to just stop seeing one another. I love her, she loves me just as much and I'm the happiest I have ever been before. The only reason I haven't talked to you guys about this is because no one at all knows. I feel, the more people who know, the more complicated our relationship will get and we really don't want that right now'' taking a breath of air Tilly awaited the response.

Her parents speechless from the outburst. Finding out their only daughter was in love, had been for a while was a huge shock to them. They knew something was up with her with the mood swings but they never thought she was in love, in a serious relationship, but still glad she had opened up to them about it, finally.

''That's great news Tilly, we're glad for you. Glad you're happy. So when do we get to meet her?'' her mother asked.

''We will sort something out when we get home'' Tilly smiled.

''Well how about me and you go for a meal tonight, just us. You can tell me all about her'' her mother replied.

''I'd like that'' said Tilly.

Finally having someone to talk to about it was something Tilly was looking forward to but knowing she really needed to be careful about what she was saying to her mother was something that would be definitely playing on her mind.

Her parents had booked themselves up for an all day cruise trip. Something Tilly could enjoy. Full of younger people Tilly's age, a lot of alcohol and music her style. Something she could enjoy for herself, and her parents could just sit and relax together while watching their daughter having fun.

On the boat there was plenty of people Tilly's age. Which Tilly didn't really expect at this time of the year but she was looking forward to it. Before being on the boat long the music was played at full blast and the journey started. Tilly didn't think twice about getting up and dancing with everyone else. This was what a holiday was all about, full of fun and her parents loved to see her having it.

Hour after hour, drink after drink Tilly had got talking to a few others on the boat all of being boys who had tried to hit on her, finding out she was gay they thought it was cool. Tilly taking plenty of pictures with her and her new friends while downing drinks together. She was having a great time, but was really, really drunk by the end of it all.

Her parents guided her from the boat onto platform. Giggling every so often in the taxi back home. Tilly repeatedly kept telling her parents she loved them. Her mother didn't know how the night was going to go, one thing she knew if she wanted to go for a meal with Tilly, she would be getting her ready, but that was something she was looking forward to, looking after her young daughter again, something she missed so much.

Arriving at the hotel her mother decided it would be best just to have something to eat downstairs, it was still a nice place to eat just wasn't as fancy as it could have been, but it would be easier for Tilly with her being so drunk, some food would do her some good before sleep tonight.

After about 15 minutes Tilly and her mother we're ready and headed downstairs to be walked towards their table. Her mother was clearly looking forward to this conversation, where Tilly had totally forgot. Her mother ordered them both some food, and started the conversation off.

''So you and Jen'' her mother started.

Tilly's face lit like a spark a huge smile formed straight on her face. ''Oh mum she's the best, she loves everything I do, Art she's really into her work like I am. Everything about her, big brown eyes, gorgeous smile, she has all these lovely laughs, her hair sweeps in her face. Ahh I can't even explain mum, she's just perfect in every possible way''

Her mother listened to her every word for the next hour, before the meal, during the meal and after. The good things about Jen just kept coming and coming. Tilly explained Jen in such detail no one would possible even begin to imagine. Her mother felt like she knew her herself, throughout the conversation the smile never moved from Tilly's face. She just kept talking and talking, about days they'd had together, how much fun they'd had in the past and her mother was loving every minute of listening to it.

Tilly was lost in the world of Jen, she didn't know what she was saying. Everything was just coming and coming from her mouth, at one point they'd even found themselves talking about her sexual relationship with her mother quickly jumped from in an instant with a cheeky giggle.

''So what does she do then?'' her mother asked as they stood to return to their room

''Oh she's a teacher'' replied Tilly, not realising what she had just said.

''A TEACHER?'' her mother shouted shocked.

Shit. Got to carried away Tilly thought
