Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 231: Still going?

Lucas walked behind Jen as they entered the parking lot of the hotel. She unconsciously held on to one side of her dress since it was so long and she needed to walk faster, something that is hard to do when the dress was already acting like a hazard.

Lucas caught her hand when she almost tripped over herself for the third time with a chuckle. He helped her straighten up and waited for her to regain her balance before she regained her balance.

"We should hurry up, we're already late" Jen muttered and continued walking. Lucas smiled happily before he followed her.

He knew that she was slightly annoyed since they had gotten carried away after Jen decided to tease him back. They should have already arrived at the venue but they hadn't even left home yet.

"Which car are you taking?" Jen asked when she realised that she didn't know where the car they would be leaving with was parked.

"That one," Lucas said and pointed at a shiny black car. Jen didn't even know what brand it was but she couldn't be bothered with being inquisitive and decided to just walk towards it.

Lucas pressed the button and the doors of the car unlocked before he opened the car door for her. Jen quickly got inside and got comfortable as Lucas got in the car himself.

"We're going to be so late" Jen complained as she fastened her seatbelt.

"Don't worry about it. We won't be late because I'm not there yet. The event technically starts once I arrive. If my father was around then the event would start once he arrived." Lucas said as he turned on the car.

It was already 10 pm so Jen was right to be worried about being late. Lucas drove out of the underground parking lot and on to the road.

Jen had acted the way she did because she had intended for what she was doing to become a joke. However, things had suddenly taken a very explicit turn and she was only able to come to her senses because Lucas had been trying to get her out of her clothes.

"You just had to become so reckless right?" Jen asked as she checked her reflection on the mirror.

"Well, it takes two to tango" Lucas replied with a chuckle. He had gotten carried away and had started undressing Jen in the living room. She looked quite tempting to him, especially because she had a lot covered that night.

"Why did you have to say it like that?"Jen asked as she buried her face into her hands. 

"I couldn't help myself because you looked so beautiful," Lucas said honestly  Jen tightened her hold on the seat of the car because she was trying to hold back from venting. 

She could not say that it was solely Lucas' fault that they were late because she had taunted him into doing what he did but she still feel embarrassed for it. 

"Can you not say such things with a straight face?" Jen asked as she checked her reflection and started fixing her make-up.

Because of how she was thoroughly kissed by Lucas, whatever lipstick she had on was smudged and the area that was close to her lips was stained by the dark colour of the lipstick.

She cleared the smeared lipstick from her face as she made small talk with Lucas and before she knew it, they had arrived at the venue of the event.

"Aren't you going to the launch party?" Roy asked Tyler who was drinking wine on one of his rare occasions.

"I'm thinking about it" Tyler answered as he took another sip of his wine. Roy could not find the energy to be frustrated anymore.

He knew that Tyler's mood was in the dumps ever since Naya left the previous day so he tried to be understanding. Unfortunately for him, Tyler was not planning on making anything easy for anyone that night.

Can you think about it faster because I want to know whether I should go to sleep or wait for you the entire night?  Roy replied tiredly..

"If you are so tired then you can go back to your hotel room and rest," Tyler said as he refilled his glass.

"Who will take you to the party then?" Roy asked his voice tinged with a hint of annoyance.

"We are in a five-star hotel. I'm sure they can arrange transport for me" Tyler answered. If that was all Roy had to worry about then he wouldn't even be awake. He knew that Tyler was very likely to do something stupid at the party since the chances of his ex-girlfriend showing up were very high.

He had met Lucas a few days before and he could honestly say that he understood how Jen ended up falling for him even though he was younger than she was.
