Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Their drive to the restaurant was pleasant they talked about a lot of things and Jen talked a lot about her siblings.

"So what are your siblings' names?" Lucas had breached the topic as naturally as he could. Jen briefly paused and wore a melancholic smile on her face.

"My young sister's name is Alexandra, we normally call her Alex, and my little brother's name is Jacob… he hates it, he always introduces himself as Jake."

"I see, do you miss them?" Lucas asked curiously.

"Yes, my sister is hard to miss, she is just too much of a buzzkill, my brother, on the other hand, is the exact opposite, very extroverted, has tons of friends and enjoys making trouble for Alex. As you can guess, my role was the mediator I don't know if Jake is still alive" Jen said with a chuckle.

Remembering how her siblings argued with each other and how Alex would give Jake a withering glare when she managed to separate them. When Jake received this look he always swallowed whatever words he wanted to say.

"What about you? How are your brothers?" Jen asked curiously.

"My oldest brother James is actually in the entertainment industry. He owns DS entertainment"

"Are you kidding me?!" Jen half-shouted. Who didn't know of Diamond Star entertainment? It hadn't been around for a long time but the amount of influence it had was already remarkable. They signed with models, music producers, singers, actors, musicians. They owned several movie sets. They had their own cable, owned a radio station they were everywhere. It was ridiculous how fast the company grew.

"How did he even?"

"Long story, I'll tell you another time, my second brother Jason is actually in entertainment," Lucas said with a sigh. He did not like thinking of this brother of his.

"Jason Lewis, I've never heard of him," Jen said with a frown.

"Do you know Daniel Zate?"

"Oh hell no, are you kidding me?" Jen said jumping in her seat. Lucas had a self-deprecating smile on his face, seeing how excited she was he wished he was an only child.

That's the problem when everyone in the family is so outstanding. If Jen heard his immature thoughts she would have beaten him to a pulp.

[A/N: Are you bragging right now?]

"Unfortunately I'm not," Lucas said with a sigh.

"I'm such a huge fan, I was his fan since he debuted as a singer," Jen said with stars in her eyes.

Now that she looks at Lucas properly she can see the resemblance. When Lucas heard her statement his face had black lines. He decided he wouldn't talk about his brothers with her.

"Lucas, perhaps can you get me an autograph?" Jen asked after a short while. They had already arrived at the restaurant when she asked this, but Lucas just hopped off the car not bothering to respond.

He went to her side of the car and opened the door for her, he then gave the car keys to the parking valet before he strode into the posh looking restaurant.

Lucas had reserved the entire first floor, with such a huge reservation they were led to the first floor by the maître d'. When they arrived Jen was surprised that the entire floor was empty, they were led to a table and handed their menus before the maître d' left them so they can take their time.

After the third party left Jen admired the décor. It was not extravagant it was mostly made up of cold colours mainly white and black, even the flowers that were used were of this colour. It made the place look enchanting and very charming. It looked very different from the ground floor they had just passed through.

"I love the décor here," Jen said as she picked up the glass of water they were just served.

"That's good, I see they followed my instructions, I'm glad you like it," Lucas said with a charming smile which left Jen dazed for a few seconds. After he mentioned it she could really see his resemblance with Daniel Zate.

She flipped through the menu and quickly decided on what she would eat. After setting the menu down she sat at stared at Lucas' face as he kept flipping through the menu. Lucas had made up his mind on what he'll order and looked up only to see Jen staring at him.

"Have fallen in love with me?" Lucas asked his voice lower than normal making goosebumps rise on Jen's skin. His question startled her because she was lost in her own world.contemporary romance

"No, I was thinking about how much you look like your brother," Jen said and watched as Lucas frowned. It's weird but she thought he looked cute. Lucas knew he shouldn't have said anything about his brother because this always happened.

He and his second brother looked very alike when looking at their childhood photos side by side people would think they are twins, it was convenient that no one notices the resemblance unless it was mentioned because their auras are very different.

However at home, it might as well not matter since Jason and Daniel have very different personalities, it is very unnerving seeing him change like that when he is in the limelight.

"Come here," Lucas said, with the frown still on his face. For some reason, Lucas was behaving like she did something wrong so Jen nervously looked at him wondering what he was up to this time. She hesitated before standing u going to his side.

Lucas was very pleased when he saw that she listened to him. Lucas held her arm and pulled her over so she was sitting on his lap. This made her suddenly remember the first time she was on his lap making her feel shy all of a sudden.

Lucas was very amused by her reaction. She kept on claiming that she was older than him but at that moment she was sitting on his lap acting shy like a little girl, he almost laughed from his amusement but he maintained a poker face instead.

"Jen" Lucas whispered her name close to her ear. She could feel his warm breath on her neck. In this position, her eyes were on the same level with his chin, so when he leaned forward to whisper in her ear he was not too overbearing, but at the same time, she was still aware of their difference in size. Jen was unable to respond when he whispered her name like that.

He pulled away from her ear and hooked his index finger under her so that she looked up at him. This domineering move made Jen unconsciously shiver as she thought about how sexy he looked.

Lucas obviously noticed how she reacted to him and he was pleased because if she paid attention she would have also realised how she was affecting him.

Lucas then lowered his head and their lips were a hair's breadth apart. He then told her.

"Let's not talk about my brothers, tonight should be about us" as he said this his lips kept brushing against hers with every word he spoke.

Jen nodded, only to end up brushing his lips with hers. At this point, she couldn't take his teasing anymore so she leaned forward and kissed his lips.
