Jen talked Tilly into heading out to the gallery .. She wanted so show the red head what was on offer ..

Tilly walked beside Jen taking in all the information she was spilling out ..

Jen came alive around art .. She was confidant and enthusiastic . Tilly couldn't help but smile ..

Ok so what's this one about ? The red head asked .. Looking at a painting of 2 small children and the painting fades into 2 old ladies.

. Mmmm" Jen sighs looking deeper at the painting .. For me .. I would say this is about friendship .. Longevity ..

You see how the children hold hands .. And the painting emerges though different stages off life..

The females still holding hands .. ? I would stay this is a life long friendship .. Could even be siblings " but I would interpret it as friends ..

Tilly nodded.. Do you have this ? A life long friend I mean?

I do.. Jen smiled .. Her names Hayley .. She is my total opposite .. ..

How about you ? She asked the redhead

Mmmm I did .. I mean I guess in away I do .. I have a close group of friends .

. But my best friend .. " Maddie.. She uh .. She died

. Oh " Jen frowned .. I'm sorry ..

Tilly shrugged .. It was a long time ago now .. Looking at Jen .. I prefer to uh .. Make new friends .. She smiled biting her lip .

Jen blushed.. She couldn't quite work out what was happening between her and this gorgeous women in front of her .

.. She wasn't good at the whole flirtatious banter stuff .. .. She took it as Tilly being playful ...

I need wine .. Tilly smiled ..

Oh ok " uh .. So nothing here catches your eye?

Tilly laughed wrinkling up her nose ..

Jen rolled eyes folding her arms .. Let's go..

Cara and Jane sit having lunch ..

You know I've texted Tilly 3 times and nothing back" Jane sulked .. She really annoys me sometimes..

Mmmm" Cara nodded .. Yeah well.. I guess she's pissed off at you still ..

Uh excuse me " Jane moaned .. my mate.. suppose to stick up for me

Cara laughed .. Babe I will always take your side... but I can see why Tilly gets her knickers in a twist with you sometimes ..

Do tell? Jane bitched...

Oh look .. Cara said bluntly .. You moaned and moaned for weeks a about how Tilly won't move in with You .. right ?

Jane nods..

Right .. Cara continued.. But what you don't seem to want to understand is .. The girl is in a relationship where she's a secret

.. No she isn't . Jane snapped

She is to a certain extent Jane" ... I mean Your closest friends and family just think she's your friend .

. All I'm saying is I can see why she is the way she is ... Sometimes .

. I do understand it frustrates her .Jane replied .. But .. Well.. I just can't bring myself to be open to my family ..

Cara shrugs.. Well that's fine but I don't think Tilly will ever take the next step with you until your totally honest ..

Jane screwed her face up .. Thanks for that Oprah... I forgot how amazingly solid your relationship is ..

Hey .. At least I'm open .. Cara laughed .. And any ways Jen and I .. We just .. Hang .. We are friends who .. Fu...

Ok thank you .. Jane interrupted.. No need for details .. I'm going for a wee .. Get the drinks in ..

As Cara waits at the bar her attentions drawn to the loud laughter on the other side of the bar ..

Tilly and Jen were sharing stories of their collage and Uni days ..

This Neil guy sounds hilarious .. I wanna meet him ..

Tilly's face fell a little ..

What? Jen shook her head...

Neil uh .. He died as well... Same time as Maddie ..

Oh.. Tilly I'm so...

No need .. Tilly inturpted .. George is alive though ..

Jen laughed .. Ok I'll meet him then..

I don't know about you .. Tilly grinned sipping her drink .. But I've had a really good day .

. Jen nodded.. Me too .. It's be uh .. Good..

Good? Tilly frowned" just good ?

Ok maybe it's been ..

. Well well well .. Cara clapped .. Fancy bumping in to you two .

. Jen and Tilly spun around to look at cara..

Jen felt disappointed .. Cara ? She falsely smiled ..

How long have you two been here ?

Uh not long .. Jen answered back .

. Is Jane here ? Tilly asked sounding a little more annoyed then she had planned ..

Uh yup .. And she ain't to happy you've been ignoring her texts either .. Cara explained .

.. Jen frowned .. She hadn't heard Tilly's phone go off at all through out the day ..

Uh .. Battery died ages ago .. Tilly lied ... Where is she ?

The loo .. We're sat round the corner .. Come on . Cara pointed ..

Reluctantly Jen stood up taking hold of her drink ..

Tilly allowed cara to walk off a little before called Jen back .. Jen .. She whispered .. I uh .. Just wanna say .. Thanks .. You know for today .. You've really cheered me up .. She smiled.

Jen felt a little sad that hers and Tilly's day had come to an end .. You don't have to thank me .. I had a really nice time .. She smiled back .

Oi.. Cara called .

Jen rolled her eyes .

Jane returned from the toilets .. Ah this is a nice surprise .. She grinned as she sat next to Tilly wrapping her arm around her .

. Baby I'm sorry I've been a dick .. She sulked kissing the red heads cheek " am I forgiven ?

Tilly sighed .. Suppose ..

Naaaawww you can't stay mad at me for to long .. Jane teased is a baby voice .. Gimme kiss?

Tilly leant her cheek into Jane .. Tut not your cheek . A proper one ..

Closing her eyes feeling slightly embarrassed she quickly pecked her girlfriend on the lips ..

Is that it? Jane moaned ..

Tilly gave her a unimpressed look .

I Think so .. Cara laughed noticing Tilly's annoyance ...

So ? What you two been up two?

Jen took me to some gallery .. Showed me some art work

See anything you wanted ..? Jane asked ..

Tilly looked at Jen .. At the gallery ? No.

Jen felt butterflies in her stomach ..what was happening here? Why was she getting these kind of feelings ..

Oh well.. IKEA it is then " Jane joked ..

Actually I have some really nice pieces.. From Jens collection ..

Oh? Jane nodded

Yeah she uh .. Took me to her place and let me chose some of her work .. Tilly explained ..

Bloody hell you must be something special .. Cara. Joked .. Took me ages to get her to take me back to her place .. Didn't it Jen.. ?

Drink anyone ? Jen asked not wanting to get into the conversation ..

I'll help .. Tilly offered getting up picking up the empty glasses ..

Typical .. She moaned ..

What ? Jen asked ..

Well of all the pubs in London we end up in the same one as them ...

Jen frowned .. It's gonna be a struggle to get them out of here before closing .

Tilly moaned.. Oh yeah ..

Well not for me... Jen explained .. I'm gonna have this one and get off !

Why? Tilly gasped ..

Jen laughed .. Same reason your not happy ... I don't want to be sat here all day

Great so you leave and I get stuck with them to alcoholics..

Uh you do have your own place .. Jen said .. It's not like you have to wait on Jane..

Tilly pouted her lips.. Your right .. Let's see how well it goes down with her then .. Tilly laughed..

Jen left shortly after making her excuses that she needed to get her marking done ..

Once she had left Tilly sat in a world of her own whilst cara and Jane talked about work ..

You ok babe? Jane asked noticing Tilly's quietness ..

Uh yeah.. Tilly nodded.. I'm just a little tired .. I think the long shifts have caught up on me ..

Ah well get another drink down ya .. Cara laughed ..

Nah .. I'm ok thanks.. Tilly declined .. I might head home actually ..

What no" Jane moaned .. Not yet .. Let's stay for a bit longer ? Please

I just want to go home have a hot bath and and early night ..

Sounds good to me " Jane winked ..

As in sleep.. You don't have to come .. Stay with cara.

I can't do that "

Coarse you can " Tilly smiled .

Yeah coarse you can " cara repeated .. Jens being boring .. Don't leave me to drink alone !

Jane looked at Tilly .. Seriously .. I just want to hit the hay.. Stay .. Enjoy the nice weather ..

You sure ? Jane asked

Yup .. Tilly kissed her girlfriend on the cheek .. I'll call you later !

Once Tilly arrived home she slumped on to the sofa .. She wasn't really tired she just couldn't stomach another alcohol fuelled evening .. Her day with Jen had been enjoyable .. It made a change to do something different ..

Holding her phone in her hand she contemplated texting the brunette ..

What's gotten into you Evans "? She said to herself ..

Tilly told herself she just enjoyed Jens company .. They had a lot in common .. Nothing else in it .. Just a new friendship right ?

Hey Jen.. Just wanted to say Thanks again for today ! I had a really nice time .. Oh and I need to collect my car at some point lol .. T x ...

You very welcome I enjoyed myself too .. I forgot all about your car until I arrived home. .. J x ...

I remembered when I realised I had to get the tube home lol .. T x ...

Well at least you managed to get out of the pub .. J x ..

. It was easier then I though actually .. I'm a little bored now though lol .. T x ...

Jen sat biting her thumb nail .. Ignoring the fact it wasn't ideal she knew she hated the fact their day was cut short .. And knew she wanted to hang out with the doctor a little longer.. ..

Well it's probably not your thing but I'm going down to the thames later to do some sketching ..

It's a pretty nice site in the dark lol .. You welcome to join me? J x

Jen hovered of the text for a few moments before sending it .. What's the worst that can happen? She wondered .. She can say no " no big deal ..

Love too..,T x Came the reply ..

Jen smiled taking a deep breath ... Jen and Cara were not exclusive .. Cara had always called them " friends with benefits " and Jen wasn't at that point looking for a relationship so she was happy to go with it .. Tilly's a good looking girl .. Of coarse I'm going to appreciate that .. She said to herself ... she had a girlfriend

.. Harmless flirting is all that it is ... No harm in it ..

Right ?
