Convincing her

Jen was woken up by Lucas' alarm in the morning. The longer the alarm rang, the more annoyed she felt. She tried turning her body so she could get out of bed but Lucas was holding on to her tightly with his face buried in her hair.

Jen's back was pressed against Lucas' front with one of his arms draped around her waist. She was feeling really tempted to just go back to sleep since she didn't have classes but Lucas had to go to work and she couldn't stand the annoying sound of his alarm.

She tried to get out of bed once more but her efforts were completely futile. She finally gave up on trying to leave the bed herself and started shaking Lucas awake. She heard him mumble something incoherently before he buried his face in her neck and continued to sleep.

"Lucas can you let me go," Jen said in exasperation

"Mmh?" Lucas responded. It was one of the most frustrating responses he gave whenever he was sleeping. It just emphasized how dead to the world he was. 

Jen ended up viciously poking him on his side making him groan and the arm that was holding on to her loosened giving her a chance to escape.

She quickly got off the bed and went to turn off the alarm before she went to freshen up in the bathroom. When she was done she readied herself for the struggle that she would have to go through to wake Lucas up.

After being pulled back into bed by him numerous times, he finally woke up and stretched his body as he made his way to the bathroom. After he closed the bathroom doors with a chuckle, Jen realised that she had been staring at him again.

She started preparing breakfast and as she was finishing up with preparing breakfast, Lucas came into the kitchen. She felt his hands go around her waist as she was making tea. 

"Good morning," Lucas said against her ear.

"Good morning," Jen said as she put one of her hands on his. Lucas bent his head a bit lower and kissed the side of her neck making her raise her shoulders with a laugh.

"That's ticklish," Jen said and slipped out of his hands before he went overboard with what he was doing otherwise he would end up being late for work.

Lucas smiled in amusement exposing his dimples in the process as he took the tea that she had left on the kitchen counter for him. She poured herself a glass of milk and went directly to the table that was packed with food.

She did not want to antagonise him at all. Lucas followed her out of the kitchen and sat down at the table to have his breakfast.

"Do you have plans for today?" Lucas asked as he sipped his tea.

"I haven't made any plans, why?" Jen asked.

"We can go out for lunch then" Lucas suggested and after giving it some thought, Jen nodded her head in agreement

"Okay, I'll come to pick you up," Jen said in response.

"Mmh," Lucas responded and continued eating his breakfast. The two of them talked about miscellaneous topics until when Lucas was done with his breakfast.

"I'll see you later then," Lucas said at the door before he bent down to kiss Jen. She didn't get surprised from his kisses anymore, he had made them a part of their routine and it was to the extent that she would not feel right if he didn't kiss her goodbye before he left for work.

Jen stood at the door and watched as Lucas walked into the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed, Jen also went back into the house. She had made up her mind to deal with chores before she went to see Rachel and Laura a bit later. She knew that it would be too early to go see them then.

After Jen was done cleaning the house and doing the laundry, she went to shower and put on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts and a pair of sandals before leaving the house.

She got in the elevator so she'd go to the girl's suite. She hadn't seen them in a while and she did miss the two of them so she wanted to catch up with them.

She called Laura when she walked out of the elevator and she could hear Laura's tired voice from the speaker of her phone.

"Hello?" Laura said sleepily.

"Are you still sleeping?" Jen asked and pulled the phone away from her ear to check the time. She saw that it was almost 11 am, it was already pretty late.

"Mmh, what's up," Laura asked.

"I'm outside, you should come get the door," Jen said.

"Mmh, I'm coming," Laura said and cut the call without waiting for Jen to respond.

Jen looked at her phone and laughed to herself but patiently waited for Laura to open the door for her.
