Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 358: Never hated them before.

The following morning, Jen managed to wake up before Lucas, even though she was very reluctant to since they had slept so late. She didn't bother him knowing of the long day he had ahead of him, so she just went to the bathroom to freshen up.

After another fifteen minutes, she got out and started the process of getting Lucas out of bed.

"Are you doing this cause I woke up first today?" Jen asked as she struggled to get out of Lucas' arm.

"Mmh," he agreed.

"I promised that I would make you breakfast. If you don't get up now, you might as well forget about it!" Jen said in exasperation.

"Just two minutes I want to hold you for a bit longer," Lucas coaxed. Jen really went still before she exploded again. She almost fell for his sweet mouth again.

"You'll hold me after work, now just get up," Jen said and finally managed to roll out of his arms and stand on the side of the bed that was furthest away from him.

Lucas squinted his eyes that were still heavy with sleep before sighing and using his fingers to comb back the hair that had fallen on his forehead. He then sat up and stretched his upper body.

Jen who was given the view of flexing back muscles:

"Go wash up first, I'll go start breakfast," Jen said hurriedly and tried to rush out of the room.

"Wait," Lucas said and gestured for her to come over. When Jen was close enough, he pulled her towards him so she was standing between his legs. 

"What is it?" she asked as she looked down at him since he was seated on the bed and she was standing.

"Morning kiss," Lucas said and locked his arms behind her thighs so she was leaning against. Jen looked at him with a smile in her eyes before bending down and pecking his lips, then his forehead.

"Go wash up first, I'll give you a proper one afterwards," Jen said and quickly got out of the room. Lucas smiled as he watched her departing figure before he too stood up to start his day.

Jen made a simple breakfast as Lucas got ready for work and by the time he came downstairs, she was already done setting the table. For the first time, Jen made Lucas coffee since she knew that he was probably tired from sleeping so late and having to get up early for work.

Lucas gave her a grateful smile as he picked up his coffee and immediately took a sip of it. Jen sat next to him as she nursed a glass of warm milk as she encouraged him to eat.

"You should eat as well," Lucas said and pointedly looked at her chest, making her roll her eyes. 

"You didn't seem to hate them yesterday," Jen said with a pout.

"Correction, I have never hated them before," Lucas said with a chuckle.

"I'm just worried, about the sudden changes, not used to it yet," Lucas added.

"Oh," Jen responded and finally took a bite of her food.

"So eat some more," Lucas said, and put some food on her empty plate.

The two ate as they discussed their plans for later, and before they knew it, Lucas had to leave for work already.

"I'll call you if I leave before you return," Jen said as she stood at their front door. Lucas who was taking the briefcase she was holding paused briefly, then leaned down and kissed her lips.

He lifted his hand and held the side of her face, his thumb propping her chin up so it was easier for him to kiss. He collected the kiss that she had promised him earlier with interest. By the time he let her go, her lips were slightly swollen and her cheeks were flushed red.

"I'll see you later then," Lucas said, and Jen could only nod stupidly in response. Lucas smiled at her cute appearance and pecked her lips one last time before leaving the house.

Jen closed the door once she saw the elevator doors close. She let out a deep sigh afterwards as if she had been holding her breath the whole time and went to put the dishes in the dishwasher. 

After she was done cleaning up, she went back to the bedroom for another nap. After sleeping for another two hours, she finally woke up naturally feeling well-rested. As she was lazying about in bed, she picked up her phone remembering that Alex had just arrived the previous night.

She quickly dialled her number and waited for her to pick up her call. After the fourth ring, Alex finally picked up the phone.

"Jen," Alex said as soon as she answered the call.

"Mmh, did you rest well?" Jen asked as she rolled on to her back on her bed and put her phone on speaker.

"I did, the room was very comfortable," Alex answered.

"Do you want to come up and hang out?" Jen asked.

"Sure," Alex answered happily.

"Okay, I'll be there in five minutes," Jen replied and cut the call. She quickly got off the bed and went to wash her face once more before putting on a pair of shorts. As she was leaving her room, she remembered that she didn't ask for Alex's floor number, so she called to ask while telling her to wait by the elevators.

Jen quickly put on a pair of simple sandals and got on the elevator. When the elevator opened once more, she saw Alex hanging around the vicinity with her still damp hair. Jen gestured for her to quickly get on to the lift and pressed for their floor number immediately.

"Are you wearing anything under that?" Alex asked her sister, who seemed to have been sneaking around as if she was afraid to be caught half-naked.

Before Jen could respond, Alex directly lifted the t-shirt she was wearing and saw the shorts that she was wearing under them and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you think I left the house half-naked?" Jen asked, feeling indignant.

"I don't know what to think anymore, dear sister," Alex said with a smile.

"My morals have not deteriorated to that degree," Jen said as she led the way out of the elevator. After she scanned her fingerprint, the front door to the house opened and she welcomed Alex inside with a happy smile.

"Can I get a suite that looks like this?" Alex asked as she looked around with an impressed expression.

"Probably, since your sister is dating the owner anyway," Jen joked, Alex laughed when she heard that and continued to follow Jen around who was giving her a short tour of the place.

"Have you had breakfast?" Jen asked once the two of them ended up in the kitchen.

"Not yet, I had just gotten out of the shower when you called," Alex said as she pointed at her still-damp hair.

"Oh, well, do you have plans later today?" Jen asked her as she took out some things to make her a simple breakfast. Alex also washed her hands to help her out.

"No, I don't," Alex said and looked at her in question.

"That's great. My friend is having a bachelorette party, you should join us, and the wedding is tomorrow. Oh, let's go shopping after this," Jen suggested, and Alex nodded in agreement to all her arrangements. It wasn't like she had anything better to do anyway. Work would officially start on Monday, so she was free for the weekend.
