Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 117: Happy Birthday Lucas.

Jen woke up at 7am in the morning mainly because she was used to being awake by that time, but before she could go back to sleep, she remembered that she had to pack her clothes for the weekend.

So, she reluctantly got out of Lucas' arms and left the warm bed. Before she walked out of the room, she turned to look at Lucas and smiled lazily before going to her room to pack her things.

It did not take her too long to get pack everything since it was just an overnight stay. After closing her bag that was jam packed with several items she went to shower and quickly got dressed.

When she looked at the time it was already 9am and she could not hear any movements from Lucas' room. She opened his bedroom door and saw that he was still sound asleep in his bed. Jen sighed helplessly and went to shake him awake.

"Lucas!" Jen half shouted and smacked his chest hard startling him awake.

"Mmh" he responded with his eyes still half open.

"You need to get up" Jen said and continued shaking him.

"Mmh" Lucas said and almost closed his eyes again.

"How is it that it gets harder to wake you up as the days go by?" Jen complained and glared at him even though he couldn't see her.

"I should really date a light sleeper next" Jen said without thinking and before she knew it she was under Lucas' half naked body.

"What did you say?" Lucas asked with a frown.

"Umm"

"Miss Larson, in case I didn't make myself clear I will tell you this now. There won't be a next boyfriend after me. I have no intentions of us separating any time soon so you should get rid of those ideas, understood?" Lucas asked and Jen found herself nodding.

"You finally woke up, go wash up I'll fix us something to eat" Jen said with an amused smile. She almost asked him if he realised how he was overreacting at that moment.

Lucas searched her eyes before kissing her forehead and getting off of her to go to the bathroom. Before he walked far he heard Jen call him.

"Happy birthday Lucas" Jen said as she smiled in amusement.

"Thank you" Lucas said and felt his mood change from how grumpy he was feeling because he just woke to pure happiness.

Jen watched as he happily went to the bathroom and she too made her way out the bedroom.

By the time he was done dressing up and went downstairs, Jen was done fixing their breakfast and was pouring juice for them.

They sat next to each other and had the simple breakfast before Jen went back to her room to get changed into the clothes she had prepared for the lunch.

She wore the long high waisted off-shoulder dress that had white and pink stripes running vertically making her appear even taller. She braided her hair into a french braid and put some decorative pins along the braid and wore a pair of dangling gold earrings and light makeup.

She picked up her stiletto sandals and made to pick up the bag she packed but put it down almost immediately. With a sigh she went to the door and opened it.

"Lucas!" She shouted her voice echoing through the house. She then heard his footsteps rush up the stairs before quickly walking towards her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Ah~, yes. what's the rush?"Jen asked with a frown. Lucas observed her and shook his head. He was worried that she had hurt herself or something of the sort since she never shouts in the house.

"Forget it, what is it?"

"Oh can you help me with the bag? It's too heavy for me" Jen said as she led the way back into her room.

Lucas followed her inside and picked up her bag and looked at her in question since it would have been quite heavy. Jen saw his arm muscles flex through his shirt and she could stop herself from holding his arm and looked at him in admiration.

"This is why people get boyfriends ah~" Jen said and kissed his cheek and picked up her purse, shades and heels and followed Lucas outside.

When they were at the doorway, Jen put on her heels and the two of them left the hotel afterwards. As they drove to his parents' house, Je looked at the spacious interior of the cadillac escalade before looking at Lucas.

"I've never seen this car before" Jen said as she settled herself in her seat.

"It arrived yesterday, I asked Dave to buy it months ago. Do you like it?" Lucas asked as he looked at her and smiled.

"Mmh, It's very roomy" Jen commented.

"That's why I got it in the first place since we'll be on the road for a while today, I didn't want us to feel stuffy in the car" Lucas said and accelerated when they got on the highway. Unlike the smaller car they were in when he was speeding before.

Jen didn't really notice how fast they were going from how stable his driving was and just focussed on her phone. As she was scrolling through her feed, she received a video call from Laura she smiled and picked u her phone.

"Jen!" Laura's voice echoed in the car making Lucas chuckle.

"Your on speaker" Jen warned first as she looked at Laura whose red hair was still tangled as if she just got out of bed.

"Oh, is Lucas with you?" she asked in a much calmer voice.

"Mmh, he is driving" Jen said as she looked at him.

"Happy Birthday Lucas!" Laura said brightly making Lucas chuckle.

"Thanks Laura" Lucas said in a voice filled with amusement.

"Rachel, Lucas is on the phone," Laura said and Jen watched how Rachel's flustered suddenly appeared on her screen.

"Uhm, happy birthday Lucas" Rachel said in her normally calm voice although she sounded slightly flustered.

"Thank you Rachel" Lucas replied and briefly looked at the screen that was pointed in his direction.

"Are you two ready?" Jen asked.

"Rachel prepared everything last night, I just woke up so i'll start packing now" Laura said cheerfully. Jen sighed in frustration and hung up after talking for a bit.

"I think that they might be slightly late" Jen said sheepishly.

"I can tell. I'll ask Dave to go pick your other friends first" Lucas said and reached out to hold Jen's hand and squeezed it. He was in a really good mood.
