Liliana (Lili) Burns the new transfer from Manchester City has joined Arsenal. Liliana is excited, a new team, new home and a chance to make new friendships and potential relationships...Everyone on the Arsenal team are happy with their new transfer...
We head to Lauren and Chloe's for some chill time, I'd promised Lauren I'd help her do some Lego earlier on. I knew she wouldn't forget and would be upset if I didn't keep my word. Chloe wasn't bothered as long as she could talk my ear off. "You know this is probably the last time all three of us are gonna be in here." Lauren said as she added a piece of Lego. "What do you mean?" I asked. "We're both moving out." Chloe laughed lightly. "I'm going to move in with my boyfriend and Lauren is going to move in with her girlfriend." Chloe continued. "Wait, what? Guys that's amazing. I'm really glad you both are happy in your relationships." I smile widely. "Aside from Jill... are you not seeing anyone else?" Lauren asks carefully. "If I'm honest, no. But I have had a one night stand...with someone I know though." I laugh. "Wait what?" Chloe gasps. "I'm not even sure I should disclose their name. They're pretty private." I laugh. "Lili you little minx." They both laugh. "But yeah, I'm single... I haven't found the one yet." I shrug. "Honestly. Please tell us who you slept with, I'm so curious." "Nope." I say popping my 'P'. "Spoil sport." Chloe laughs.
"I best head back to Jill's." I say a few hours later. "Oh shit yeah, we better get ready for tonight." Lauren laughs. "Jill and I will come and meet you here and we can all meet the others after." I suggest. "Yeah, do that. Say, what an hour?" Chloe agreed. "Hm, that should do." I smile. We exchanged hugs and I set off back to Jill's.
"You're back." Jill smiles as I walk through the door. "Great observation, Jilly. We gotta get ready for tonight." I smile. "Shit I forgot." Her eyes go wide. "You're still going, right?" I ask. "Of course." She nods. "Right come on, we have an hour then we have to be at my old flat to meet Hempo and Chloe. We will meet the others at the bar." We both head for the stairs, both getting ready. Possibly in record time.
"Damn, you look good..." Jill stares, I sigh. "Jill we need to talk about us." We sit down together. "Go on..." she pushes. "We keep having sex...you know that it's totally casual right? I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression." I say gently, I really hoped she knew this already. I'd promised I'd talk to Jill about it, so here I am doing exactly that. "Lili, stop worrying. It's casual, we both know that. We haven't been together in forever and I guess the distance makes us both crave each other...we're both single and we both have needs." Jill says softly. "True. Look I'll always have a soft spot for you. We've been through so much together, I guess I just worried you might have thought it was more." I frown. "No, it's all good." She smiles. "Shall we go?" She holds out a hand to help me up. I take it. "Um, Jill..." I bite my lip looking at the hickey I gave her. "You haven't covered up the hickey." I state. "Fuck it. Keep em all guessing." She laughs. "Yeah... about that." I start. "Hempo and Chloe know." She shrugged. "My hair will probably hide it, once alcohol hits their system I'm sure they'll forget." I gently laugh at how she shrugs it off, like it's no big deal.
We make it to my old flat on time as Lauren and Chloe both come out the entrance to meet us. Lauren's mouth dropped open as Chloe let out a quiet laugh once they both clocked eyes on Jill. "See I told you." I say, they'd seen the hickey I gave Jill and it was so much more obvious than she knew. "Blame her." Jill shrugged. "Little vampire." Chloe laughs.

Before we got to the bar Jill adjusted her hair a bit, the hickey somehow got missed by the others. Drinks were soon flowing, we were dancing and making utter fools of ourselves. Did we care? Absolutely not. We were having such a good time that hardly any pictures were taken. It felt good to be home, good to be away from the drama... good to let my hair down and relax.
The bar had set up a karaoke spot and I was drunk enough to be confident enough to put our names down for it. Not a single one of us was getting out of doing it. In fact, I put us down for not 1 but 2 different songs. The first being Shania Twain's 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman.' Which somehow only ended up with the 3 of us, being me, Lauren and Chloe singing it. The others joined in from the side. Then we did Cyndi Lauper 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' and everyone joined in. It was such a good night.
I crawled into Jill's bed, with Jill around 3am. The two of us happily drunk but still knew what we were doing. I have to admit it's the first time in a while, normally my memory the next day is hazy. "Goodnight Jilly." I breathed and turned on my side to sleep. "Goodnight Lili." I feel Jill cuddle close and the two of us were quick to fall asleep.
"Let me know you're back safe, yeah?" Jill frowns as we stand by the train, waiting to be able to board. "I will, I'm a big girl Jilly. I'm sure I can safely navigate my way home to London." I let out a gentle laugh. "Thank you for being my rock, and for helping make this weekend the best. I've had a really great time with you all." I smile "It's been great. Let's try not to make it too long until next time, it looks like you really needed this weekend. And let's be honest none of us will ever miss a chance to see you." We hug. "I'll try, you're all welcome in London at any time too." I adjust the bag on my shoulder just as the doors of the train open. "Well I guess this is me." I sigh with a smile. "Yeah, go on then. Love you." Jill smiles. "Love you too." I climb onto the train and wave to Jill from the window, she waves back. Minutes later the train moves and I'm on my way back to London.
On the train I sit happy with my thoughts, I go through my camera roll and decide to post some pictures of Manchester.
