Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 328: Eh?

"It was nice meeting you today," Alex said to Lucas once their group walked out of the restaurant. 

"Mmh, my pleasure," Lucas said with a charming smile.

"I'm also looking forward to our collaboration," Alex said with a rare to see smile. Lucas nodded and draped an arm over Jen's shoulders as he noticed that she started to tightly wrap her coat around her.

"Brother-in-law, we need to hang out before you leave," Jake said with an enthusiastic expression. Last time Lucas had taken him skiing it was his first time there, and he wondered what new things they would end up doing together. Lucas would have gone with Jen, but he knew she would complain about the cold most of the time and she wouldn't particularly enjoy the activity because of it.

"Mmh," Lucas agreed with a smile. The couple said goodbye to the siblings, and they each went back to their cars. 

When Jen and Lucas got in their car, Lucas turned on the heater for her immediately so she could warm herself quickly.

"How was it? I know Jake is very friendly but Alex can come across as cold," Jen asked Lucas curiously as he was driving the both of them home.

"She's nice, she seems to care for you a lot," Lucas commented. Even though she looked a bit aloof, he had noticed that she was good-natured. She wasn't like James, who looked aloof and was even more aloof in real life.

"Mmh, we've always been close, she used to be so cute as a child," Jen said as she remembered how Alex used to look. She was like a porcelain doll years back.

"I can't say anything like that about my brothers," Lucas said with a chuckle.

"Maybe James?" Jen asked.

"Maybe, he made mom promise to hide away his baby pictures when she refused to give them to him," Lucas said as he remembered the commotion he had caused until he was shut down by his father and just had to settle with that promise.

"So you haven't seen baby pictures?" Jen asked.

"No, I only have my memory," Lucas said with a smile. 

It did not take them long to arrive at the hotel. Lucas handed over the keys to the valet and the two of them walked in. As they crossed the doors Jen thought she saw a familiar figure but couldn't be bothered to turn around to check who it was as she was just thinking about getting back to their suite.

"Are you okay?" Naya asked Tyler who had paused and looked back at the couple that they had just crossed paths with.

"Mmh, let's go," Tyler said as he wrapped his arm around her waist and walked out with her.

"We're finally back," Jen said as she fell on the comfortable couch.

"Mm-hmm," Lucas responded as he got on top of her and immediately kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him and spread her legs so he was more comfortable, making her dress ride up her thighs in the process.

They both did so many activities together during this time they were vacationing that they ended up being too tired to do anything when they returned from their trips. Today was one of the few uneventful days they've had in City K and Lucas seemed to be in the mood.

Lucas' hands caressed her thighs, but rather than her soft skin, he was met by the material of her stockings. It had a very interesting texture that roused his curiosity. Lucas stopped kissing her and looked down at her legs. Jen looked at him in slight confusion before it dawned on her that he was looking at the stockings.

He lifted one of her legs and kissed her covered calf. Jen could still feel the warmth of his breath and the feel of his lips even through the thin material of the stockings. 

Jen had never thought that the skin on her legs would be so sensitive. The sight itself made her feel a bit awkward as she didn't know what to do with her hands in their positions. Lucas noticed her awkward mood, and an amused smile appeared on his lips.

He hovered over her while using one hand to support his weight while the other one was undoing the buttons in front of her dress. The atmosphere was tense as the only things that were audible were the sounds of the breathing and the sounds of his fingers rubbing against the material of her dress. The silence raised the tension, and Jen could feel her heartbeat against her chest in excitement. 

When Lucas was done with the buttons, the front of the dress was gaping open and his eyes took in the sight of her pale skin and the lace that covered her breasts. His hand slipped under her waist and lifted her with him so she was straddling his lap. Jen shrugged off the dress that was now hanging off her shoulders and Lucas started kissing her bared skin. 

Jen tangled both her hands in his soft hair and pulled him even closer to her. The two of them were enjoying each other up until Jen's phone started ringing, breaking her concentration almost instantly.

"Ignore it," Lucas said as his fingers undid her bra. Jen looked down at him and decided to listen to him. The two continued as the phone rang until it stopped. They were so engrossed with each other that they hadn't noticed that it had stopped ringing.

As things were progressing even further, the phone started ringing again. Jen felt annoyed and when she looked at Lucas, he looked even more annoyed than she was. Lucas released her breast that he had been toying with with his tongue as he listened to her ringtone.

If the phone was close Lucas was sure he would have tossed it out the window. Who is calling her so late at night? He wondered to himself as he released her because Jen insisted on going to take the call.

"Don't be upset, it could be an emergency," Jen said as she rummaged through her purse. Her bra was hanging down her elbow, combined with the lace panties and the stocking she was wearing, Lucas felt like he was going through mental torture.

Jen slightly frowned when she saw that Leanna was the one that was calling her and quickly picked up the phone. Leanna didn't take the initiative to call her often, so it must really be something important.

"Hello?" Jen said after picking up the phone

"Hi Jen, did I wake you?" Leanna asked. Jen thought her voice sounded a bit off, but she tried not to be obvious. She was hoping that nothing really happened to her.

"No, I wasn't close to my phone. What's up?" she asked while trying to sound casual.

"Well, something is happening and I'm not sure about what to do. I'm panicking and you were the first person I thought to call," Leanna said, confirming Jen's suspicions.

"What happened?" Jen asked, sounding worried. If it was something that made Leanna think of calling her then it should be something very serious as she was the type of person to suffer in silence.

"I- I oh my god I don't know what I'm going to do," Leanna said and mumbled something incoherently.

"Where are you?" Jen asked Leanna.

"I'm home," Leanna answered. Jen sighed in relief when she heard her.

"Is Nancy with you?" Jen asked.

"N-no, she's at Dave's house," Leanna responded.

"Okay, just talk to me. What's going on," Jen asked. Her anxiety had reduced now that she knew where she was.

"I'm just going to say it," Leanna said as if she had been rehearsing how to say it.

"Mmh, go ahead," Jen encouraged.

"I'm pregnant," Leanna said and Jen almost dropped her phone. Lucas noticed how her mouth hung open and he raised his eyebrows in curiosity.

"Eh?" Jen asked as if she was doubting her ears.

"I missed my period twice, so I went to buy a testing kit," Leanna said.

"Who" Jen said but couldn't even finish her question.

"Ethan," Leanna answered.

"This, does he know?" Jen asked her.

"I haven't told him yet," Leanna answered. She was so nervous about the whole situation she felt a bit faint.
