Convincing her

As Lucas and Jen were watching a movie in the living room. They heard the doorbell ring. Jen who had been half asleep earlier immediately perked up and ran towards the front door. Just before she opened the door she was caught around the waist by Lucas who carried her back to the living room.

"What are you doing?" Jen asked as if she had been wronged.

"Are you asking because you don't know?" Lucas asked.

"If I knew would I bother asking you anything?" Jen countered.

"You are going to open the door for the waiter to bring in the food while looking like that?" Lucas asked as he pointedly looked a the T-shirt she was wearing that barely covered her thighs. Jen finally realised the blunder she was about to commit and shut her mouth. 

Lucas smiled in satisfaction when he saw her go back to the sofa they were sitting in before and wrap the blanket she covered herself with before around her. He then went ahead and opened the front door and let the waiter in who set all the dishes on the table before he left the penthouse.

"Come on, let's go eat," Lucas said when he noticed that Jen was not budging even after the waiter had left. Jen quickly stood up when she realised that the waiter was not in the house anymore and practically hoped to the table. Lucas chuckled in amusement when he saw her antics. 

"I was really hungry," she said as she sat down next to Lucas. All that walking that she was made to do earlier in the day really worked up her appetite. Now that she had food in front of her she was feeling ravenous.

She took a bowl and a ladle and scooped some soup into it. She had been craving for a good bowl of soup since earlier so now that she had it in front of her she could not stop herself.

Lucas watched her fill the bowl up halfway before she took a spoon and scooped up some soup and blew on it a bit before feeding it to herself.

"This is great soup," she said with a satisfied groan. Lucas only chuckled. He had never seen someone become so excited by soup before. It was quite an amusing sight.

After satisfying her initial cravings, she finally noticed the bread on the side and she took a piece so she could enjoy it with her soup.

"Do you plan on having just soup tonight?" Lucas asked curiously.

"No, I'll eat other things," Jen said as she tore a piece of bread with her hand and put it in her mouth before accompanying it with her soup.

"You'll get full fast at this pace and you'll complain that your hungry after thirty minutes" Lucas warned.

"Don't worry about it. I plan on keeping leftovers. It's not good to waste food" Jen said with a wide smile.

Lucas decided not to nag and keep quite and he ate his dinner. That mostly consisted of seafood.

"Do you like seafood?" Jen asked. She noticed that he asked for the same thing on the day that they had fought.

"Mmh," Lucas said with a nod.

"Interesting" Jen commented.

"You?" Lucas asked.

"Well, I like my meat, I'm not very picky about that, but I'll occasionally have cravings like today, and in the morning after your birthday party if you remember," Jen explained.

Lucas remembered how she said she wanted some spicy soup that morning and she had a ridiculous amount of it in the end.

He had heard that women normally got craving when they were pregnant. Jen was not expecting any children and she was already like this. He did not want to imagine how she would be once she did have pregnancy cravings.

After Jen satisfied her soup cravings, she went ahead and served herself some real food and ate to her heart's content. There was still a lot of soup left and there was some of the seafood left as well.

She packed the leftover food in containers and opened the fridge to store them. She saw that there was still food that she had cooked the previous day that was left in the fridge.

"Guess we're having leftovers tomorrow," Jen said from the kitchen. Lucas found himself groaning when he heard her and become more violent as he packed the dishes on the trolley that was used to bring in their food.

After he was done, he pushed the trolley outside so that the waiter would come and pick it up later.

The good thing about ordering food was that they did not need to wash the dishes afterwards because all the plates and utensils brought in belong to the hotel so they would leave it for them to wash.

The two of them settled themselves on the sofa once more and continued watching the movie that they had been watching earlier.
