Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 126: Your Cute

Laura arrived at the house and went to her room to wear her two piece purple swimsuit and a long white cover up sheer shirt. She had already asked around the house on where everything was, she knew there was a pool on the roof and another one at the side of the house, and since they were preparing the roof space for the party at night, she could only use the other one.

She put on a pair of sandals and took out a pair of shades that she held between her teeth and left her room after putting her phone in the shirt pocket.

She went downstairs and she walked towards one of the exits she saw Jen and Lucas walking towards the house with Lucas leaning against Jen as she supported him. Jen couldn't see the happy smile on her face but Laura did and even though she was amused, she did not want to run into them so she turned around and used another exit.

When she got to the pool, she saw that there was only one person laying on the comfortable lounge chairs with his face covered by a pair of ray bans. He was wearing a white shirt that he had not bothered to button and a pair of cream coloured shorts.

He didn't move at all when she arrived so she figured that he was asleep. He was obviously not tanning since the huge umbrella next to the lounge provided a huge shade for him.

Laura removed the see through shirt she was wearing and placed everything on one of the lounge chairs before running into the pool and diving in with a huge splash.

James had decided to sit outside to get some fresh air since he was slightly tipsy when he arrived at the house and ended up falling asleep.

Unfortunately he was woken up when he felt his body being splashed by cool water. James opened his eyes as he was startled awake and saw a figure swimming in the pool. He had thought Jason had played a prank on him and he was ready to give him a beating.

Fortunately, Jason was not in the vicinity, besides that, he had learned the hard way that he could get away lightly with jokes but James had zero tolerance for pranks.

He always felt like someone had lowered his IQ after them and he would be livid with anger something that had once made Jason postpone a concert.

James was not merciful enough to cancel it. Jason had performed at his concert on the day he got discharged from the hospital. After that experience, he never dared to prank James.

James watched the red haired girl diligently swimming in the pool until he got lost in his thoughts. He had noticed that she was about the same height as Jen but was slimmer than her and although her body was filled out in all the right places, she was not as voluptuous as Jen was.

After a few laps in the pool, Laura got out of the pool completely unaware that she had woken the man that was resting on the lounge chair.

Her long hair was stuck to her back and the two piece swimsuit showed off her toned abdomen and her navel piercing. Something she had impulsively done because she had once modeled some navel rings for Rachel's collection.

Although she had used fakes on the shoot, she thought they suited her and went to get pierced both above and below her belly button, creating a very interesting pattern.

James watched as she looked for a towel as she was sopping wet. The only visible towel was the one on his armrest and he saw her when she spotted it.

There were towels provided in every cabinet that was next to the lounge chairs but he was curious as to whether she will call someone or just rob him of his towel.

He watched as she tiptoed in his direction, careful not to make much noise as she thought that he was still asleep. His arm was resting on the towel so he was curious about how she planned to take it without "waking" him up.

Rachel stood next to the "sleeping" man and noticed that he had tied his hair carelessly behind his head and even though the glasses covered his eyes, the rest of his face was gorgeous. She took a deep breath and tried to pull the towel from under his arm slowly.

What she did not expect was that his arm would move with the towel. James watched as she started contemplating on how she should solve the issue, It took him everything not to laugh.

Laura bit her plump lower lip and checked his face to make sure he was not awake with her green eyes. Behind the dark glasses unbeknownst to Laura their eyes had met and James even maintained some eye contact for a second or two.

Laura bent over and carefully lifted his hand using her own very cold arm. She was so focussed that she did not notice that her waist length wet hair had slipped past her shoulder and was now laying on James' naked abdomen.

James couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing startling Laura who was delicately leaning over him into falling over. James instinctively caught her otherwise she would have hit her head on the arm rest on the other side.

Even though that happened, James did not stop laughing. It could be because he was in a good mood, or that he was drunk or that Laura's antics had thoroughly amused him.

Laura was feeling very embarrassed and very awkward since she was in a bikini and his torso was pretty much bare, so although he had saved her from what could have been a very serious injury, her cool skin was making direct contact with his own warm skin. Her head was on his shoulder and her body shook with his as he was laughing freely.

She felt that stirring again in her chest that she first felt when she saw him and turned to look at his face. James gradually stopped laughing and took off his shades and his grey eyes met her green ones.

"What's your name?" James asked with a smile.

"Uhm, Laura" Laura replied mindlessly completely captivated by the smiling man.

"You're cute" James said casually with a chuckle when he noticed her reddened face.

"Eh?" was the only sound that Laura produced as that was the last thing she expected him to say.
