Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 184: An acquaintance

"Lucas..., I think we should stop..., we're drawing attention to ourselves" Jen said between kisses. 

"Mh" was the only response she received from Lucas was holding her waist with one of his hands.

"Lucas-" Jen tried to cut him off but ended up being cut off herself. Since Lucas didn't seem to want to let her go she pulled his head away by using the grip she had on his hair, and Lucas only released her because her pulling got painful

"Have you no self-control?" Jen asked clearly annoyed.

"I do, I just lose it whenever you are around," Lucas said making Jen smack his chest bashfully causing him to laugh loudly in disbelief.

"Are you being shy?" Lucas asked as his laughter died down.

"Let's go," Jen said as she turned her body so she was no longer facing him. Lucas kissed her cheek cheekily before closing the car door.

As he turned around he saw someone watching him in an Audi. Lucas tilted his head to get a clearer view and saw a pair of icy blue eyes. Lucas' eyes crinkled into a smile and he waved at the person before he went to the other side of his car and got on.

"Did you see someone you know?" Jen asked curiously as she saw him wave at someone although she wasn't curious enough to check on who he just waved at. They probably saw how she was being violated by him and she would just end up being embarrassed to death.

"Mmmh, an acquaintance?" Lucas said as if he was asking her as he turned on his car and drove off the parking lot. 

Tyler did not leave the premises but instead got out of the car and slammed the door shut. He took out his pack of cigarettes and lit it up and took a long drag from it as he closed his eyes. Even as he did this, he looked so good that a bunch of girls stopped to watch him.

They wondered if there was some sort of deity who decided to bless them with the fine male specimens that seemed to have started showing up at the end of the day.

Even though they were tempted to approach him to ask for his number, when their eyes met his they ended up frozen on the spot.

They definitely did not have the courage to walk towards him, much less talk to him and much lesser ask him for his phone number. They did not even have the guts to take out their phones to take a picture of him.

Tyler noticed the increasing crowd of girls looking at him and smiled sarcastically at himself. The one person he wanted to look at him had their eyes trained on someone else.

He realised that the cigarette was not helping him at all so he tossed it on the ground and ground it until only indistinguishable remains were left.

He raked his fingers through his jet black hair in his frustration and heard the girls squeal in the distance. It reminded him of how it used to be when he was in university.

When he looked in their direction they quietened down and he ended up smiling before opening his car door. How could times not change? He wondered as he fastened his seatbelt and sped off leaving only dust behind him.

The girls started chattering loudly with each other after he left, but all that did not matter until the following day.

Lucas took Jen out to have a lavish dinner at a restaurant where he had made sure to personally reserve a private room for both of them.

The two of them sat together at the table and talked about everything that happened and Jen even told Lucas of her decision to go home at the end of the year so that if he wanted to come with her he could make preparations early.

"You've finally decided?" Lucas asked as he sipped on juice as Jen had a glass of wine. She had completely stopped from having even a glass of wine.

She said she would stay sober so she could drive them back, but how could Lucas accept that after asking her out on a date? It's not like he did not know how she felt about driving after drinking.

"Mh, I've decided after talking to my sister today," Jen said as she brought the fork that had steak to her mouth.

"Then I'll accompany you. Don't worry about that. I'll definitely come with you" Lucas reassured a bit too excessively making Jen laugh.

"Oh, is there a theme for Saturday's party? I don't think I have anything appropriate" Jen said as she chewed on her food.

"Theme?" Lucas asked with furrowed eyebrows making Jen laugh.

"Like a dress code," Jen said.

"Umm, formal?" Lucas said in confusion. It was easy for him to say so because he could just wear a suit and he would blend in with the crowd at the party. She, on the other hand, had to find clothes appropriate for the occasion.

"Is it dinner? A cocktail party? What is it?" Jen asked trying to look serious. Lucas really didn't care. His clothes would be arranged by someone normally so he had never bothered with the details when it came to any events.

"I will ask Dave tomorrow," Lucas said still trying to figure out what difference it would make whether it was a dinner or a cocktail party. Wouldn't they both be formal events? He tilted his confusion as he continued to think about up until Jen held his hand efficiently distracting him.

"Don't think too much about it, okay?" Jen said with an amused smile on her face. Lucas just smiled back at in response but it still bothered him.

"Once you find out from David let me know so I can go shop for a dress with Nancy," Jen said and continued eating. Lucas had completely forgotten that he had told David to bring a date.

"He asked her out?" Lucas asked curiously.

"Yes, she was telling me about it and she sounded really excited about it. Didn't I tell you about it before?" Jen said with a chuckle. She felt like she had told him about it.

"Maybe, I don't really remember," Lucas said trying to recall whether they really talked about it.

"Don't think about it too much," Jen said with a chuckle and shoved some steak into his mouth.
