Convincing her

After the two of them had freshened up Jen had worn her one piece swimsuit that was laced up in the front and was cut out on the sides and wore a pair of short jean shorts with it since she could not prance around with so little covered.

She borrowed one of Lucas' shirts and draped it over herself but did not button it up since the material for the swimsuit was thick enough and she was even feeling slightly hot.

"Aren't you done yet?" Lucas asked from the bedroom since he was already dressed in his swimming trunks and his unbuttoned short sleeved shirt.

"Just a second!" Jen shouted from the dressing room.

Lucas turned on the television purely out of boredom and browsed through the channels. He was thinking of coming back to the estate one day when there was no event like this so that they would thoroughly enjoy all that the place had to offer. Besides the unreasonably huge mansion they had built together on the estate.

Every one of them had a villa built to their own standards and preferences. In Lucas' case he had two, where one was more private and the other was more family oriented. He had built two since he was not limited to how many he could build, as long as he could afford to build them.

They were actually discussing on how they would build another unreasonably large mansion that had an artificial lake. He knew that they were acting like privileged scions and were doing whatever they wanted, but what was the point of money if you couldn't use it?

Shortly after he had zoned out, Jen came out of the dressing room while braiding her hair since she knew that there was a chance that she would be swimming and as much as commercial romanticised the idea of having long hair when getting out of the pool, it was completely different in a situation where you needed to swim.

"Should we go now?" Jen asked as she directly sat on Lucas.

Lucas obviously did not mind her brazenness and enjoyed it when she wanted to be close to him so he only made an effort to make her comfortable.

"Give it a few minutes" Lucas said as he wrapped his arms around her small waist. Her cleavage was right before his eyes but he did not make a move even though he was tempted.

"Why?" Jen asked as she placed her arm around his shoulders.

"I'm sure most of them are upstairs already but I need-" Lucas was cut off by someone knocking on the door.

"It's about time we go" Lucas said as he tapped at her thigh twice before she stood up. Jen was curious about the rooftop pool since she couldn't see it because she was being monopolised by Lucas.

They left the bedroom and went into the elevator that went all the way to the rooftop. Before the doors even opened they could already hear the sound of loud music that was accompanied by quite a bit of noise.

The elevator doors opened and they were greeted with the sight of Jason and his friends going pretty much all out with the drinks.

"Lucas!" Dave called out from where he was. He had loosened up a lot and his hair had been slicked backwards from what Jen assumed was the water from the pool since he looked wet.

"Happy birthday" Dave said once he reached them.

"You drank" Lucas stated in amusement.

"I didn't want to but your brother" Dave said and glared at Jason's direction.

"Ah, have fun tonight and be careful" Lucas said with a chuckle.

"Miss Larson" Dave said and nodded at Jen who was also looking at him curiously.

"You can go now" Lucas said to Dave as he patted his shoulder.

"Bye Miss Larson" Dave said with a bright slightly drunk smile as he walked away. Jen had never seen him smile before, he was always expressionless whenever she saw him and even though he was already good-looking, he had a lot of charm when he smiled.

"He'll be fine right?" Jen asked.

"Don't worry, the worst that could happen is that he would fall into the pool. We always have a lifeguard stationed for these events, cause some people can get really-" Lucas was cut off by a huge splash in the pool.

The two of them looked towards the pool and saw Jason laughing in it while James who had pushed him in glowered at him. Fortunately Liam and Levi were standing in front of James preventing what would have been bloodshed.

[A/N: I'm obviously exaggerating]

Jason lifted his body out of the pool and sat on the side of it before he felt a foot push him back inside. James' anger was slightly appeased when he saw Jason struggle a bit as he tried to regain his bearings.

Once he got over the initial surprise, he swam over to the other side of the pool. He knew that if he came out of the same side he would be pushed back in by James.

Lucas and Jen walked over to that direction and Lucas couldn't help pull Liam over.

"What happened?" Lucas asked curiously.

"Jason was teasing James about how he is the prettiest person at the party" Liam replied with a sigh.

"Ah~" Lucas said in understanding.

"I really don't understand him, is he masochistic?" Liam asked Lucas as they all looked at Jason who was already lifting himself out of the pool.

"I can't say for sure" Lucas replied with a chuckle.

Jen had been looking for her friends and saw that they were standing around the bar.

"Lucas, i'm going to check on the girls" Jen said and kissed him on the cheek and walked away waving at Liam.

"Hey, where did you meet her?" Liam asked as he watched Jen walk away.

"At university, at least something good came out of postponing my exams" Lucas replied.

"She must be young then, 20? 21?" Liam asked and Lucas saw Lucas give him a mysterious smile. Jen would have probably felt flattered that she looked that young in the first place.

"Perhaps 19?" Liam asked incredulously and saw Lucas raise his eyebrows in surprise.

"18? I didn't think you went for the barely legal" Liam said in surprise.

"Heh, twenty five" Lucas said afraid that Liam would suggest that Jen was 17. He didn't want to be labeled a pedophile.

"Oh~ I didn't know you went for older women" Liam said in both relief and surprise.

"It kind of just happened" Lucas replied mysteriously.
