Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 12: Her Consideration 2.

Lucas became more curious about her and decided to ask what had been bugging him.

"When I came back to the kitchen, after my phone call, did something happen? You were acting a bit off" Lucas asked, very curious about her response.

"Actually, nothing was wrong, I was just thinking about what you had asked me before and trying to figure out what my thoughts were on the issue, and you are, for the lack of a better word, very distracting, so I guess I came off a bit aloof, I hope you didn't misunderstand me" Jen responded.

"Oooh, so you find me distracting?" Lucas asked while feeling proud of himself. When Jen saw the look on his face she was tempted to hit his head with her spoon but held back.

"Is that all you heard?" Jen asked feeling miffed

"Don't take it too seriously now, I'm just joking okay?" Lucas said trying to appease her.

They continued talking as they finished up their dinner after they were done they were both in a good mood. Lucas offered to do the dishes but received some resistance from Jen before winning in the end, though Jen insisted on helping.

Lucas washed the dishes while Jen wiped them dry, he occasionally splashed her with cold water which made her squeal before she pinched his arm. When she did this he suddenly kissed her which surprised her so much she almost dropped the plate she was drying.

She bashfully hit his chest which made him laugh at her actions, but he kept teasing her like this. The scene was filled with so many hearts.

After finishing with the dishes they both sat in the living room to watch some TV, they were focused on a movie when Lucas pulled Jen's long smooth legs across his lap. From the way they were seated Jen's dress had ridden up her thighs.

She felt Lucas' warm hands stroke her legs stopping just at the hem of her dress. His actions distracted her and she could no longer concentrate on the movie. By the time she got used to his movements, the movie was too far ahead and she could no longer follow the storyline so she just ended up staring at the screen not really paying much attention to the movie. When it was finally over, she realised how late it had gotten and she was also feeling sleepy.

"Don't you have an exam tomorrow?" Jen asked while fiddling around with the pillow she was holding.

"I do," Lucas said as he kept flipping through the channels while his other hand resumed feeling up her leg. His lukewarm reaction towards his exams left Jen feeling a bit flustered.

"Is this a quiz or a proper exam? What is up with your reaction?" Jen asked feeling a bit frustrated. Lucas turned to look at her before looking at the screen once more.

"Are you worried about me?" Lucas asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Should I? Shouldn't you be preparing for..." Jen was cut short in her nagging when Lucas was suddenly laying on top of her.

"Preparing?" Lucas whispered as he buried his face in her neck, his tongue lazily traced on the sensitive skin there before she felt his teeth softly bite on her skin. At this point, her senses returned to her and she pushed on his shoulders for him to get off her.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked confused, for once looking his age. She completely pushed him off her in his confusion and sternly looked at him.

"I'm not going to let you leave any marks on my skin"

"I'll be careful then, is that alright?" Lucas said and tried to push her down again, unfortunately, he was out of luck as Jen wouldn't let him push her down again.

"I'm tired tonight, you should go home, okay?" Jen said softly. Lucas studied her face and decided to let her off.

"Okay, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow, what time is your class?" Lucas asked while buttoning up his shirt and standing up.

"At 11 am," Jen replied while watching him prepare to leave, she still couldn't get over how good he looked. Lucas bent over and kissed her forehead. He stared at her for a couple of seconds before bidding her goodbye and leaving.

After Lucas left Jen collapsed on the couch and buried her head in one of the pillows on the couch. She didn't believe all that had happened that day. One thing she learned though is that Lucas enjoyed being touchy-feely with her.

It was like he was finding excuses to touch her at times, but he didn't behave as brazenly when they were in public, except for shamelessly flirting with her he was yet to go overboard and she appreciated his restraint because when she thought about how he was with her in the kitchen and if he had decided to do that on the parking lot today.

She shook her head after realizing how much her thoughts were straying from the main point.

She was unsure if she made the right decision to consider his proposal, besides the issue of him being younger, which he seemed to be completely fine with, there was also the fact that she hardly knew him as a person, except for the fact that he was almost always in her space.

Sighing to herself she decided to let things happen. If it isn't meant to be then it won't happen. She suddenly remembered how she was so in love with Tyler that he had never really pursued her before.

It was like she had been gift-wrapped and delivered to his door. Remembering their relationship so suddenly ruined her mood, it was so long ago.

She pushed herself to get off the couch and went to lock her door, she turned off the lights in the house before she went to her bedroom. She undressed and wore her towel and walked into her bathroom where she had a quick shower before she changed into a large t-shirt and climbed on her bed. Before she fell asleep she heard her phone vibrate and saw that she had received a message from Lucas asking if she was asleep.

[Are you awake?]

[No] Jen answered mischievously

[Oh really?]

[I was planning on sleeping]

[I already miss you] Lucas replied leaving Jen feeling flustered. She couldn't help but cringe but feel touched at the same time.

[You should go to bed] Jen hurriedly typed and dived into her blankets.

[Goodnight [3] Lucas replied he knew she was probably feeling embarrassed based on her reply.

[Goodnight] Jen answered back and went to sleep.
