Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 259: Glutton

After tossing around in bed with Jen, Lucas had taken a short nap before he woke up again in thirty minutes. He got out of bed and directly went to take a shower. He did not even need to remove any clothes since he had been naked the whole time. He quickly showered and brushed his teeth before putting on his robe.

He left the bathroom while drying his hair with a towel and silently left the bedroom. He did not want to wake Jen up because he knew that he had definitely worn her out. He went downstairs to the kitchen to fix them something to eat since Jen was complaining about being hungry.

He opened the refrigerator and took out ingredients for a simple breakfast and bit into an apple as he did so.

He made quick work of preparing the ingredients and as he was making the eggs Jen had come down the stairs. Her hair was damp from the shower. She decided to wash it since she had sweated all over it the previous night and that morning as well.

She could see Lucas busily cook from the other side of the kitchen counter. She silently went into the kitchen without alerting him of her presence. Lucas felt something tug on his robe and he turned his head to look at what it was that tugging his robe he saw Jen's face zoom in.

Jen took a bite of the apple that he had been holding on to with his mouth. Lucas watched her step away from him after taking the bite, her lips wet from the juices from apple. Jen licked her lips and went to stand next to him to take a look at what he was making. 

"That looks delicious," Jen said and was even tempted to steal some but she was guaranteed to get burned since she would have to separate the egg.

"I'll be done soon, you can make some toast," Lucas said as he flipped the egg. Jen swallowed her saliva and went to put the bread in the toaster.

She even took a slice to chew on as she waited for breakfast. If she was hungry before she was ravenous now. Lucas finished the apple that he was eating before serving up the eggs. 

"You shouldn't eat too much, we still have to go to mom's house later," Lucas said as he took the plates to the dining table. Jen put the toast on a plate and took a box of juice from the fridge before taking them to the dining table as well.

"You want some tea?" Jen asked Lucas. All the coffee that he had in his house had mysteriously disappeared. He has even forgotten the taste of coffee.

"Yes," Lucas answered with a smile. He had been changed without even realising it. Jen cheerfully hopped to the kitchen and quickly made a cup of tea. She brought it out with two glasses and set them on the table before she excitedly sat down and started putting food on her plate. 

Lucas was just looking at her in amusement as he sipped his tea. He was only thinking of cute she was.

Jen took a large bite of food and looked up just to see Lucas look at her with amusement. She smiled self-deprecatingly but she just looked cute as her cheeks were full of food so her eyes turned to half-moons because of it.

Lucas chuckled as he watched Jen act like a glutton. She was really hungry, she felt like her stomach was attached to her back so she did not hold back with her eating.

"If you keep up with that pace I might have to help you work up an appetite. We can't go for the late lunch if you stuff yourself full" Lucas said as he took a bite out of the toast that he had covered with egg.

"We have to go," Jen said. She did not admit it but during this period, the only person she received any semblance of maternal love from was Lucas' mother. She really loved the woman like her own mother. It was hard not to when she was treated like the daughter she never had.

"Eat slowly then, no one is taking your food from you," Lucas said and poured her a glass of juice before he handed it over. Jen knew that she might have gotten a bit carried away but she did not think it was that bad.

She picked up the glass and took a few gulps of juice before she set back on the table. 

"Why didn't you dry your hair? You'll get a cold" Lucas said as he pushed her hair away from her face.

"No way. It's still summer" Jen said as she resumed eating.

"Autumn is starting, it's getting cooler these days. You should take care of these small details" Lucas started nagging.

"Yes mom," Jen said sarcastically while rolling her eyes making Lucas chuckle.

"I'm serious. If you get a cold I won't be able to get any action. Knowing you you'll move back to your room" Lucas said. He was very accurate in his predictions. Jen would not risk his health and she would definitely insist on sleeping by herself. Jen looked at him and wisely decided to stay quiet.

After being told that they'll eat later Jen just had a few more bites of her breakfast before she judged that she was full enough to last till later when they went to Hellen's house for lunch.

Since Lucas made breakfast Jen insisted on cleaning up. She quickly cleared the table and loaded the dishwasher while Lucas went to sit in the living room. 

He thought Jen would take some time, so he looked for any new movies they could watch while they waited to go to his mother's house later. As he was scrolling through the long list of movies, he was surprised when Jen suddenly appeared in front of him and settled herself in his lap. 

Even though she took him by surprise he quickly overcame his surprise and pulled her into his embrace. It had become quite natural for them to be sitting like this whenever they were free.
