Convincing her

The next day Jen woke up to Lucas' alarm and couldn't help but feel that she was getting a bit too used to this. Jen stretched her body and Lucas tightened his arms around her waist and pulled her to him, making her roll on her side so that she was facing him.

She thought he was awake but saw that his eyes were still closed, so she just smiled and slipped out of the bed. She did not have her clothes on which she automatically thought was because Lucas had taken them off the previous night.

If she knew that after he put her in bed and went to take a shower she had taken them off in her sleep, she would have been mortified at herself.

Jen got in the shower and took a quick shower before brushing her teeth and her hair before finally leaving the bathroom. She went to wake Lucas up and she found herself laying on her back since Lucas had pulled her back in bed.

"Lucas you should wake up, you have to go to work today," Jen said as she lightly patted his face. Lucas just hummed and buried his face in her neck. She could understand that he was tired since he was not free on Saturday and even yesterday they had to go to his parents' house.

"Mmh?" Lucas responded but did not move to wake up. Jen attempted to get up from bed but she was held down by him once more. She sighed in frustration but did not give up thankfully she was able to get up and picked up his phone from the bedside table.

"I'll tell David you won't make it to work. Keep on sleeping" Jen was honestly concerned but her words woke him up immediately. He would have rolled with it but now his father was back and if he heard he didn't come to work he would have to kiss his weekends goodbye. He was just too similar to James.

Lucas sat up on the bed the sheets pooling around his waist exposing his muscled torso he rubbed his eyes as if trying to rub the sleepiness out of them. 

"You going to work?" Jen asked when she saw he had woken up and put the phone down when Lucas nodded in affirmation.

"Go freshen up, I'll go make breakfast," Jen said and turned to leave as she stretched her hands over her head raising the t-shirt she was wearing slightly showing off the lace panties she was wearing underneath. Lucas only clicked his tongue when the door closed and got off the bed with a smile on his face.

Jen, on the other hand, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She busied herself in the kitchen and finished just a few minutes before Lucas came downstairs. He helped her set the food on the dining table and when they had both settled down Lucas started eating his breakfast. 

Jen mainly watched him eat as she nibbled on her own breakfast. She did not have much of an appetite that morning so she was just accompanying Lucas as he had his breakfast. He took his time with his breakfast and was sipping his tea as he looked at Jen.

"What time are you going to class?" Lucas asked as he looked at Jen's face as if he was seeing it for the first time making her not know where to look.

"I'll be going a bit later," Jen replied and was interrupted by her phone vibrating. She saw that she received a text from Rachel. She remembered that they had told her that they would be moving out of the hotel soon.

"Mmh" Lucas answered as he finished off his tea. He got up from the dining and helped her clear up the dishes before he went to put on his tie and suit jacket. He picked up his briefcase and was going to head out of the house. 

"Wait up," Jen said and fixed his tie so that it was symmetrical and pulled on the lapels of his jacket so that she could kiss him.

The short kiss she had planned on became longer when Lucas tangled his fingers in her hair and deepened the kiss. Just when she felt like her heart was going to beat its way out of her chest she was released. Lucas gave her a kiss on her forehead before leaving the house.

Jen watched him disappear behind the elevator doors before she went back to the house. She took her phone and called Rachel immediately to ask her when they were planning on leaving the hotel.

"Rachel?" Jen said when she picked up the phone.

"Mmh, Jen. What is it?" Rachel asked.

"What time are you guys leaving?" Jen asked. She knew they did not have a lot to pack because they were at a hotel. They hadn't bought much else besides their own necessities so they just had to pack their suitcases.

"Probably around the afternoon since Laura has a schedule later in the evening" Rachel answered.

"Then I'll come to see you two soon. I'll just get ready to go for classes first" Jen said in response and after receiving affirmation from Rachel she cut the call. 

She quickly finished washing the dishes and went to get dressed for school. As it was getting chillier she wore a light sweater and a pair of skinny jeans with ankle boots and packed her things in a large purse before heading out. 

She took the elevator to the floor with the presidential suites and beelined straight to the girls' room. She called Rachel when she was outside the door and the door was opened without the phone being picked up. 

Rachel smiled brightly when she saw Jen and gave her a big hug. Jen hugged her back as she walked into their room only to be greeted by a mess of clothes and Laura who seemed to be as overwhelmed as she was feeling.

"How much shopping did you do?" Jen asked when she saw the mountain of clothes in the living room. 

"Obviously she went overboard," Rachel said sarcastically as she looked at Laura. She really shouldn't have let her go off by herself. It was even worse now because her sponsors would also give her clothes.
