Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 497: Lazing At Home. (Unedited)

Lucas walked out of the bedroom the following morning while wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top and made a beeline for the kitchen. Jen was there seriously making breakfast and Lucas couldn't help but feel warm when he saw her there.

When Jen looked up from the pan, she met Lucas's smiling expression and she couldn't help but pout. Lucas stood on the opposite side of the kitchen counter and leaned over, his smile brightening even more with the action.

"Someone looks proud of themselves," Jen said as she looked away from him.

"Someone looks like a sore loser," Lucas said and Jen glared at him in response. She was not amused at all, what did he mean by calling her a sore loser? She lost happily last night, okay?

"You should have woken me up so I could help," Lucas said as he looked at the breakfast that was most done.

"I wanted you to sleep for a bit longer, you must be exhausted from being so busy," Jen said with a small smile. She couldn't bring herself to wake him up so early, in fact, she wished he could have woken up later.

"I slept really well last night, because of you," Lucas said with a teasing smile and Jen smiled back at him.

"Me too," she agreed with a small voice making Lucas laugh with satisfaction.

"Can I help?" Lucas asked as he walked around the kitchen counter and into the kitchen.

"You can take these to the dining area," Jen said and gave him two plates of food. Lucas accepted them and went to place them on the dining table.

Jen came out of the kitchen with two mugs that were filled with steaming hot tea and gave Lucas one of them before she sat down next to him. Because of how hard they worked the previous night, Jen's appetite was good that morning. So the both of them cleared their plates that morning.

Jen slowly sipped on her tea and she and Lucas ended staring at each other. Lucas reached forward and pinched her rosy cheek and she looked down while smiling. Lucas was still feeling elated with the concept of having Jen around for another three months, so he would randomly act like this.

"Should we go out today?" he asked her as the fingers that were stroking her cheeks started playing with her hair.

"Maybe for lunch? I want you to rest properly today, I know you are going to be coming back home late from tomorrow," Jen said as she leaned into his hand and closed her eyes.

"Should we just stay home? Laze around all day and order in?" Lucas asked his eyes shining. He did not mind being idle all day as long as he has good company.

"I like the sound of that," Jen said with a smile as she pushed his hand away. He had started playing with her ears and the side of her neck which were sensitive. 

"Okay, I'll go do the dishes," Lucas said and stood up. Jen stood up with him and helped him take the dishes to the kitchen as he busily washed them.

It didn't take long before the two of them walked out of the kitchen. Jen was holding a box of juice and two glasses as Lucas hugged her from the back and marched her to the living room. 

This time, Lucas made Jen sit down first before laying down on the soda and resting his head on her lap. Jen turned on the tv before pouring herself a glass of juice while playing with Lucas's soft hair. 

"How is Leanna and the baby?" Lucas asked Jen. He used to talk to Ethan before but because of how he would brag and gush over his son, Lucas stopped looking for him. He would feel bitter about it and his friend wouldn't shut up about it.

"They want us to be their son's godparents," Jen said as she looked down at him.

"We'll work something out when we go back next time," Lucas said with a smile. Jen couldn't stop herself and bent down to peck his lips.

"Mmmh, we'll do that," Jen responded in agreement. 

The couple continued to chat idly up until Lucas started to dose off. Jen insisted on going to sleep in the bedroom and after some reluctance, Lucas listened to her, but he dragged her back with him. Jen who wasn't sleepy yet became a body pillow. Lucas buried his face in her chest and fell asleep shortly afterwards. 

Jen hugged Lucas as she used her phone to relieve her boredom. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep too. She had dosed off out of nowhere, so when she woke up an hour later, her phone was still in her hand. Lucas was still sleeping in the same position he was in before. Jen stretched sleepily and collapsed back on the bed.

"You've gotten very clingy," Jen murmured as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"It's cause I won't be able to hold you as much as I want to in the next couple of days," Lucas answered unexpectedly.

"You're awake?" Jen asked as her fingers traced over his cheeks.

"Mmmh, you were sleeping so soundly I didn't want to wake you up," Lucas answered and nuzzled his face deeper into her chest.

"Can you even breath?" Jen asked when she felt him bury face between her breasts.

"Mmh," Lucas answered, his voice still heavy with sleep. Of course he can breathe, he also wouldn't mind suffocating like this.

At this moment, Jen received a text message, when she opened it, she saw that it was a photo that was sent by Hellen.

Jen opened the file and saw the picture of a wedding dress. Jen's eyes widened in pleasant surprise when she saw the dress. It was so beautiful she became speechless.

Lucas was unaware of what she was looking at as his head was buried in her chest. He could only tell that something was off when she was silent.

"What is it?" Lucas asked as he pulled back to look at her. Jen who had still been stunned, locked her phone and recomposed herself.

"It's nothing, I just got a text from mom," Jen lied. The groom wasn't supposed to see the dress until it was on her. She promised herself that she was going to find time to talk to Hellen. How was her wedding dress already complete?

Hellen had rushed her friend to quickly complete the dress because she was still hopeful that her youngest son was not so hopeless to actually wait until next year to get married.

She was actually hoping that he could find a way to get her to agree to get married during this period they were together. She thought that these three months would be more than enough to get Jen to change her mind. She was hoping that she made a good call with this decision. She really hounded and stressed her friend out to quickly finish the dress. She would feel bad if they ended up using the dress after a year.
