Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Lucas opened the door and watched as the waiter brought it their meal. After arranging it at their dining space he bowed and left with his trolley. Jen was still trying to compose herself and couldn't understand how Lucas had recovered his wits so fast. He obviously was not her first man, but she had never felt this type of chemistry when she was with Tyler.

One way to understand the way Tyler was is that his greatest appeal was the fact that he was a mystery. No one knew much about him and after dating him for a little over three years she still didn't know him that well. How can someone say they love a person they don't know?

Lucas grabbed her hands shaking her out of her reverie and pulled her up from the sofa.

"Let's go eat," he said as he led her towards the dining area while holding her hand.

Jen couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth as she looked at their entwined fingers. She sat down on the chair he pulled out for her and he sat next to her. He picked out the foods she liked and put them on her plate.

She watched him as he busied himself and couldn't help the tingling feeling she felt in her chest. She had never experienced someone being so attentive to her before, so this was new but it felt so good she couldn't help but look at him as if she wanted to cherish each moment he was like this with her.

"Why aren't you eating?" Lucas asked with a raised eyebrow when he noticed that she was just staring at him. Jen placed both her hands on his cheeks and pulled him close to her face leaving a lingering kiss on his lips. Lucas was surprised, it was pretty sudden but he wasn't complaining.

"Thank you," Jen said

"For what?" Lucas asked feeling a bit puzzled

"For being you, for being with me," Jen said her eyes shining with happiness, Lucas was flustered and couldn't stop the blush that appeared on his.

"Ahem, it's nothing really" he mumbled in a low voice but Jen heard him.

"You're cute," she said and released his face before digging into her food. Lucas' cheeks had gotten redder. Never in his life would he have thought that there would be a woman who would make him feel shy.

Jen proceeded to dig into her food and Lucas followed after he had composed himself. After they were finished eating Jen leaned on the back of her dining chair and watched as Lucas devoured his food.

After they were both done eating they piled the empty dishes on the trolley and Lucas took it outside to the hallway. He called the desk asking them to pick up the things as he walked back inside.

He saw Jen standing awkwardly at the dining area and he went to hug her from the back resting his head on her shoulder. Jen turned to look at him with a smile which Lucas returned.

"I think I should go home now," Jen said but made no attempt to leave his embrace.

"I can't leave you alone while you are like this" Lucas said referring to the emotional breakdown she had experienced a little over an hour before. Jen couldn't refute what he said so she decided to keep quiet.

"Follow me," Lucas said as he picked up the suitcases that were in front of the stairway. He led the way upstairs to his bedroom and Jen followed him silently. He opened the door letting her in first before following her inside and closing it. He turned on the lights in his room and the big bed that was on the centre drew her attention.contemporary romance

"How is your bed so big?" Jen asked

"I'm pretty big," Lucas said.

Jen ignored the double entendre and walked into the room. Lucas went to his walk-in closet and found that Dave had delivered some clothes in his size and they were all properly arranged. He couldn't help but smile in satisfaction, Dave may seem clumsy but he was very efficient.

He walked out with a T-shirt that he handed to Jen and showed her the shower and how everything worked before leaving her to clean up. Jen walked into the shower after undressing and noticed that the bathroom was already stocked with his supplies. She finished her shower after a while since the pressure if the water relaxed her muscles she lost track of time.

She got out of the shower and dried herself with one of the numerous towels that were in the drawer and pulled the t-shirt that Lucas had handed her. She wasn't wearing anything under it since she washed her underwear so that she could wear it the next day. She got out of the shower and headed to the walk-in closet where Lucas was unpacking his things.

"Do you have underwear?" she bluntly asked.

"Huh?" Lucas was momentarily confused by her question.

"Do you want me to sleep in the nude?" Jen asked.

"Technically, you aren't in the nude" Lucas said as he opened one of the drawers that housed his boxers. They were still new since they were delivered that day. He took out a box that contained three of them and handed it to Jen.

"Knock yourself out" he teased as he watched her go with a smile. She went back to the bathroom and pulled on a pair and put the rest in an empty drawer, they looked like shorts but they were comfortable.

After quickly brushing her teeth she walked out and found that Lucas was finished unpacking his things. He too went to the bathroom to take a shower and walked after twenty minutes walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Jen who had busy on her phone couldn't stop herself from looking at his toned chest and well-defined abs as the water that dripped from his hair down his neck, between his pecs down his abs and disappeared in his towel. Jen unconsciously swallowed the saliva that had suddenly pooled in her mouth. Lucas raised an eyebrow in amusement and decided not to comment on anything.

"Are you comfortable?" Lucas asked

"Mmh" Jen replied vaguely. Lucas thought he would laugh so he just went to the walk-in closet and pulled out a pair of boxers that he quickly put on before heading back to the bedroom with his towel still on.

"Aren't you putting anything on?" Jen asked as she watched him come towards the bed with just the towel.

"Do I have to?" Lucas asked and pulled off his towel before getting under the covers. When he pulled Jen against his body she realised he wasn't completely nude which made her feel relaxed but couldn't help the bit of disappointment she felt.

"What is it? Are you disappointed?" he asked as his arms snaked around her body. Jen was too distracted to answer so she kept quiet. What was the point in denying it?
