Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 489: I Can Be Late, I'm The Boss. (Unedited)

Five minutes later, the food really had arrived as Lucas had said so earlier. The two sat down next to each other on the small dining table after room service finished setting up everything for them.

Lucas picked out some things and placed them on her plate before serving himself some food. They had really worked up an appetite earlier so they were both really hungry.

They barely talked to each other because they were so focused with filling their stomachs. Lucas kept adding food for Jen as he ate because she was picking around some of the food while leaving some other things behind.

"Do you want to eat anything else? You are being picky today," Lucas asked as he observed some untouched parts of her plate. 

"Not really, I suddenly just lost my appetite, I'm probably just tired from the trip. I wasn't able to sleep a wink throughout," Jen said with a sigh and rubbed her forehead.

"Okay, I'll pack up the things you want to eat and put them in the fridge for you in case you get hungry again later at night," Lucas said as he pulled the tired looking Jen to rest against him. Jen who was willing to act spoiled, nodded in agreement as she leaned against him and let out a comfortable sigh.

Because he was now holding an extra person, his eating speed slowed down significantly. He would also occasionally feed Jen some of her food.

If her sister were to see this scene then she would have rolled her eyes. She was acting too spoiled, what was astonishing was how Lucas was willing to spoil her like this.

After they were done with dinner, Lucas packed up some leftovers in the fridge and put the rest on the trolley and pushed it out the door. When he walked back in, Jen was sitting on the couch while watching tv.

Lucas opened the fridge and poured a glass of juice and brought it to the living room. He handed it to Jen and opened up his arms when she moved to snuggle up against him. Lucas wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer to him, making her lean against his chest.

"How was exam week?" Lucas asked as he played with her hair.

"It was busy, I was so tired, I missed you so much," Jen answered and took a sip of her juice.

"It sounds familiar," Lucas said with a chuckle as he experienced this everyday when they are apart.

"Hahaha," Jen laughed and turned her head to look at him. Lucas looked down at her and pecked her smiling lips.

"You can be busy and tired now, but you don't have to miss me," Jen said as she kissed his chin and turned back to the television.

"Mhmm," Lucas agreed and kissed her hair as he too watched tv. He was hoping to do more tonight but with how tired Jen seemed to be, he felt guilty about bringing her wine and doing it with her all night. There is still tomorrow, they also had more than three months together.

The two made small talk as they watched tv, and after a long silence, Lucas could feel Jen's body relax even more against him. Lucas peeked at her and saw that her eyes were closed and he gently rubbed her flat belly. Her breathing became even and Lucas continued to watch the program on tv. Not even ten minutes later, he too fell asleep. 

Fortunately, he got up an hour later and didn't get carried away into the morning. Jen was still sleeping and a different program was showing on tv. He turned off the tv and got off the couch while carrying Jen.

Jen moved around a bit to get comfortable and continued to sleep. Lucas chuckled as he continued to carry her to their room. After tucking her into bed, he went to tidy up the living room and turned off the lights in the rest of the place before going back to their bedroom.

He got on the bed and turned off the light on the bedside table. The moment he laid down, Jen rolled into his arms and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Goodnight Jen," Lucas said and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight," Jen responded sleepily and kissed his chest. Like this, they slept deeply through the night. 

Lucas did not have classes on Saturday but he still had to work, so his alarm rang the next morning. Although not as early as it did on weekdays, Lucas was so comfortable he was feeling reluctant about getting out of bed.

"Lucas, do you have to go to work?" Jen asked groggily, she was still holding Lucas even as she asked this.

"Mmmh," Lucas responded against her hair. 

"Aren't you going to wake up?" Jen asked when Lucas turned off the alarm and continued to hug her.

"Five more minutes," he answered and Jen couldn't help but laugh at the familiar sentence. 

"You have to wake up," Jen said but wasn't really doing nothing to motivate him to get out of bed at all.

"Don't worry, I can be late, I'm the boss," Lucas said sleepily and Jen finally opened her eyes to look at him. She had forgotten his father was not around to keep him in check.

"Look who has grown up," Jen joked and kissed his stubbled chin. Lucas finally opened his eyes and made eye contact with Jen.

"Can you guess who else has suddenly grown?" Lucas asked as he pressed his lower body against her.

"Mmmh, let me go freshen up and you can have you five more minutes," Jen said as she jumped out of bed. Lucas didn't expect her to run away from him. He could only laugh helplessly as he watched her figure disappear into the bathroom. He had really missed this.

Jen quickly freshened up and got out of the bathroom. When she checked for Lucas she saw that he was using his tablet with his glasses on.

She unconsciously swallowed when she saw his bare chested self seriously going through his emails with his glasses on and bed hair.

"I'll go make breakfast," Jen said after clearing her throat. When Lucas looked up he could only laugh at the sight of her flushed cheeks. She was so easy to read.
