Chapter 431: My Furnace Is Here.
The two of them had their lunch as they caught up with each other, and when Jen was done with the dishes, she joined Lucas at the living room sofa. She folded her legs beneath her and leaned against him as she curiously looked at what he was watching on tv.
"Do you want to go out? Maybe play a bit? Do some shopping?" Lucas asked her as he toyed with a stray strand of hair.
"Can we stay like this for the rest of the day? I really missed you," Jen answered as she looked up at him. When her eyes met his own, he could not find it in himself to refuse her.
"Mmmh, we can stay home," Lucas said as his fingertips lightly brushed against her jaw. He was looking at her flattering eyes before his gaze moved down to her lips. He then leaned over, as if in a trance, and kissed her tempting pink lips. The light kisses gradually started getting more intense as his tongue invaded her mouth.
When an involuntary moan escaped Jen's lips, she pushed Lucas away and looked at him. She hadn't thought about it before, but with how they had been behaving from the previous night till morning. They were like a pair of depraved people. If they just stayed home, anyone could guess what they were going to busy themselves with all day.
"Let's go out and play, okay? I'm going to get dressed," Jen said and leapt out of the sofa and practically ran to their room and slammed the door shut behind her. Only Lucas's laughter could be heard after that.
He had not meant to do that; it was an impulse he had acted on. Unfortunately, he was seen through by Jen. It did not matter anyway, he still had time later that night, and the following day, even though it won't be a full day as Jen would have to leave in the evening.
Lucas stood up too and went to their room. He couldn't be locked out of it since his things were also there. So he walked into the walk-in closet only to see Jen struggling with the zipper of her dress. He naturally walked behind her and closed her zipper before bending down and kissing her bare shoulder.
"Do you have to leave tomorrow?" Lucas asked her, his breath tickling her neck.
"I have classes on Monday, even though they aren't early morning classes, I can't leave on Monday," Jen said and turned around to look at him.
"I'll come again next time, also, my long holiday will start in two more months, by then I'll come to stay with you for a bit if you won't mind it," Jen said and blinked her light brown eyes at him. How could he mind? He would probably cut into his studying hours to spend more time with her.
"Of course I want you here, what do you mean if I won't mind?" Lucas asked and hugged her tightly against him. Jen couldn't even say anything in return because her face was buried in his muscular chest.
"How are you so warm when the air conditioning is blasting like this?" Jen asked once he released her and went to sit in front of the vanity.
"It's genetic," Lucas answered with a chuckle as he took off his sweatpants. Jen saw his reflection from the mirror and her cheeks blushed pink, before continuing to put on her makeup. If she started staring at him, they were going to end up leaving later than they wanted to.
Lucas put on a pair of black jeans and a black shirt, leaving the first three buttons unbuttoned and folding up the sleeves. He picked out a pair of sunglasses he didn't really get to wear and tidied up his hair before he was ready. He did not even bother with styling his hair much and just let his fringe fall to his face.
When he was done getting dressed, Jen was also finishing up with her makeup, Lucas picked up his watch and wore it as he looked at Jen's lightly made-up face.
"You look beautiful," he said as he walked towards her and bent a bit to look at their reflection on the mirror.
"Thank you," Jen said with a radiant smile and put on a light pink lipstick, before getting up and shoving it in her small purse. She chose a pair of wedges and the two of them walked out of the bedroom.
"What do you want to do?" Lucas asked her as they walked towards the entrance.
"Let's go do some sightseeing and light shopping, then, we can go somewhere for dinner," Jen said and looked at him to see if he approved.
"Okay, anything miss Larson wants, miss Larson gets," Lucas said and laughed at her reddening cheeks. He should probably stop addressing her so formally when they are in bed.
What was she going to do when others address her as such? He thought this to himself, not knowing that it was too late.
Whenever someone called Jen miss Larson, she would only remember how Lucas always smiled wickedly, with eyes full of lust as he called her that whenever they were doing anything naughty.
It was to the point that when he called her that without even saying anything else; it was like he was being flirtatious with her.
The two left the suite and got in the elevator and went straight to the underground parking. Lucas had not driven once since he arrived because he had a driver.
Why drive himself to work if he can go through a few contracts as he was being driven there? Why drive himself while he was dog tired from his busy schedule? Also, why would he drive himself even though he hired a driver?
He finally understood the real essence of having a driver to drive you around. He finally understood his father and eldest brother in this aspect.
Lucas opened the car door for Jen before he too got into the car. After switching it on, he reversed and left the parking lot. The weather had become hot recently so Jen was dressed lightly in a short flared summer dress.
When they stopped at the lights, Lucas looked at Jen, who was rubbing her bare arms that had goosebumps. Her delicate collarbones were exposed and so were half of her thighs. Looking at how she was already rubbing her arms, he knew that she was probably cold.
"Cold?" Lucas asked as he turned down the air conditioning. Unlike her, he enjoyed the cold much more, because otherwise, he would always be feeling hot, that was why he enjoyed winters so much.
"Mmmh," Jen answered honestly and felt his palm envelope her arms and gently rub up and down. Her one arm that Lucas had access to became warmer in just seconds.
"Tell me whenever you're cold," Lucas said as he started driving again. Jen looked at his side profile and a smile appeared on her lips. She did not have to bear with it now, since her furnace was so close.
