Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 371: Violations

On the following day, both of them ended up sleeping in. They were both taking advantage of a free day so they were still deeply asleep until Jen was woken up by her hunger. She opened her eyes to see that her upper body was practically laying on top of Lucas while their legs were tangled together.

She lifted her head and took a look at his sleeping face, his breathing was slow and even and his arm was around her waist.

She kissed his chin before reluctantly leaving the bed to go to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and brushed her teeth before carefully going to closet and picking out a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. She carefully left the closet, peeking at his figure again before she left their bedroom to go down stairs.

She scanned the things in the fridge while tying up her hair before making up her mind on what she wanted to eat. After settling for a simple breakfast, she cut herself and apple and chewed on it as she went on to make breakfast.

Not long after Jen had left their room did Lucas open his eyes too. He looked at the empty space beside his as he stretched and yawned sleepily. After slowly coming to his senses, he got off the bed and went to the bathroom to clean up too.

When Jen was almost done cooking, Lucas also walked down the stairs while tousling his lightly damp hair. Smelling the cooking in the kitchen, he made a beeline towards her and picked up the plates she was already taking to the table.

"You're up?" she asked with a startled expression. She was not expecting him to come down so soon because she knew how busy his schedule normally was and decided to let him sleep a bit longer.

"Mmmh," Lucas answered when he came back to the kitchen with long footsteps.

"Good morning," he said while standing in front of her.

"Good morning," she answered and looked up at him with a smile. 

Lucas held her slim waist and pulled her closer to him before bending down to kiss her lips. Jen wrapped her arms around his neck and after a few tentative kisses he nipped at her bottom lip and gently sucked on it. Jen opened her mouth and his tongue invaded her lips. He could taste the apple she had had earlier with a faint taste of mint. She tangled her tongue with his not letting him take full control of the kiss and because of it they were like that for almost two minutes. Jen leaned back and looked up at him with a gentle smile.

"The food is getting cold, let's have breakfast first," Jen said. Lucas pecked her lips and agreed with her. 

The two of them went to have their breakfast after Lucas made himself a cup of coffee and Jen pured herself a glass of milk. While sitting across from each other, Jen picked up her phone and took a picture of her meal and a message tone rang in the dining room. Lucas took out his phone from his pocket to check his messages and saw that Jen had sent him the picture of her breakfast. He could only laugh helplessly at her naughtiness.

"Really?" he asked as he put his phone to the side and looked at her.

"You asked me to do it last night, didn't you?" Jen asked as she smiled back at him. 

"Mmmh, I did," he said after swallowing a mouthful of his breakfast. The two slowly ate their breakfast while chatting occasionally.

"I'll do the dishes," Lucas said as he picked up the dishes on the table. Jen leaned back on the dining chair and fiddled with her phone as she waited for him to finish in the kitchen.

Soon he got out of the kitchen and she too got up from her chair and went to the living room with him. They sat down on the couch and Jen picked up the remote to turn on the television. 

Lucas pulled her to him so she was sitting even closer. He absentmindedly played with the loose strands of hair that had escaped her bun as he watched her look for something to watch.

"Do you want to do anything today?" Lucas asked Jen who still hadn't found something to watch.

"Can we?" she asked feeling a bit reluctant to spend the day in their living room.

"Let's go to the estate? Horseriding? There's a lake too," Lucas asked as he thought of a comfortable place they could go to.

"Yes, let's," Jen answered in excitement and jumped off the couch to pack some clothes she will need. Lucas only laughed at the disappearing excited figure. He turned off the tv and followed her upstairs.

Alex woke up with a splitting headache. She didn't want to move, much less get up from her bed, but she still had to wake up. After sitting up, she noticed that there was a glass of water with some painkillers on her bedside table. She didn't think too much about it and took one immediately before laying back down to sleep. But as soon as she closed her eyes she opened them again and sat up completely ignoring her headache.

"How is it so clean?" she wondered out loud as she looked around the now clean room. She went to the closet to check on her clothes and saw that they were all neatly arranged. For a moment she thought that she had slept in someone else's room by mistake. She opened her bedroom door and the door opposite hers opened up at the same time. Two pairs of eyes met each other, one pair black the other one blue. 

"Why are you here?" Alex asked skeptically.

"I brought you home last night," Michael answered.

"Why didn't you go back?" Alex asked still holding her frown.

"You were too drunk, I thought you would choke on your own vomit in the middle of the night and die," Michael answered honestly, making people really want to choke him to death. Alex couldn't refute him and could only look at him.

"Who let you use the other room?" Alex asked and folded her arms infront of her nightgown. Completely unaware that she was making someone else get a reaction from her looks. Her hair was slightly tousled and her eyes blinked slowly at Michael due to her sleepiness. The dress she was wearing barely covered her but so her thighs were out on display. This was the problem when someone saw you as their younger brother. In her eyes Jakes and Michael's images were merged.

"Should I have used yours instead?" Michael asked after clearing his throat fearing that his voice might break and embarrass him. He quickly went to the kitchen to take a bottle of water. Alex was left speechless for a few seconds. She looked in his direction and saw that he was drinking water without a break.

"Hmph," she said and went back to her room, closing the door behind her indignantly.

"What a smart mouth," she said to her self and sat cross legged on her bed and picked up her phone. She checked and answered her emails before going to the bathroom to take a shower. After she finished cleaning herself, she went to her neatly arranged closet and felt reluctant to make a mess of it since she knew subconsciously that Michael must have tidied it up for her.

She carefully took out a cropped t-shirt and a pair of a pair of short that were on the top of their piles so she wouldn't make a mess and put them on. She quickly tied her hair and got out of her room thinking of what she was going to ask the hotel to bring up for her.

When she got out of her room, she found that Michael was still around, and he was even cooking in her kitchen. 

"What are you doing?" Alex asked as she walked towards him.

"I'm making you some soup for your hangover. I have a sister who often gets drunk and I had to learn how to make it for her," he said after glancing in her direction once and turning away from her. He was talking about his celebrity sister Sofiya.

"Ooh," Alex responded plainly. If that was the case then she was not going to give him a hard time about being so thoughtful.

"Thank you," she said after a few seconds.

"Mmmh," he responded plainly. Alex finally got the chance to look at him properly.

"What is that?" she asked after she saw a red mark on his neck.

"Oh, you were just drunk, it's nothing," Michael said but his flushed ears gave everything away. She couldn't have violated this boy while she was drunk right? She asked herself with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
