Jen woke up to Lucas' alarm as she usually did and went to freshen up. She had gotten so used to it she did not even think much about it anymore. After leaving the bathroom she looked at Lucas who was sleeping on his stomach his wide back exposed as the sheets only covered him up to his waist.

He was obviously still sleeping deeply and Jen could already sense how she'll have to wrestle him out of bed.

"Lucas, wake up" Jen said as she walked to the bed. As expected, there was no movement from him.

"Lucas" Jen called once more and put her palm on his back to shake him awake. Lucas was startled awake when her cold hand made contact with his warm skin.

Jen watched as he furrowed his eyebrows and finally opened his eyes. She was stunned that he actually woke up so quickly that she didn't know what to do with herself.

"Ahem, go wash up. I'll go make you breakfast" Jen said after clearing her throat and started getting out of bed. However, before she could do so, she was pulled by Lucas who had grabbed the sleeve of the s.h.i.+rt she was wearing.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Lucas asked and held her hands in his palms to heat them up.

"I was handling cold water, you have to wake up now Lucas, or you'll be late" Jen said and tried to pull away from him.

"Five more minutes" Lucas said before wrapping his large arm around her waist and pulling her close to his body.

As expected, Jen was incredulous. Didn't he wake up already? Why was he sleeping again?

"Lucas, if you don't wake up I promise you I will stop waking you up in the morning" Jen said clearly annoyed.

Lucas opened his eyes when he heard her and his eyes met hers. Jen looked into his eyes that seemed to look more green with brown and golden flecks due to the lighting. Lucas blinked his eyes sleepily and broke into a lazy smile.

"Are you awake now?" Jen asked while feeling slightly dazed.

"Mmh" Lucas replied and pulled her even closer to him. If it was the weekend, Jen would not have had the heat to resist. In fact, she would have just gone back to sleep since he was so warm. However, he had work, and he couldn't afford to indulge himself like that.

"Go shower, i'll make you breakfast" Jen said and rolled out of his arms. Lucas watched her leave the room and sat up to get out of bed.

The door suddenly opened once more and Jen peeked inside to make sure he woke up. Lucas who was stretching couldn't help but chuckle. Was he really not trustworthy? He wondered and as he walked towards the bathroom he heard the door close.

Jen made a simple breakfast and by the time she was done Lucas was already coming down the stairs. He sat at the table and draped his jacket on the seat next to him and started eating his breakfast. Jen only had a piece of toast on her plate and a gla.s.s of milk.

As she watched him eat, she noticed that he was wearing the watch that she had bought for him. She couldn't stop the wide smile that appeared on her face when she saw it. Lucas noticed her look at his wrist with a smile and he could only smile back.

"Do you like it that much?" he asked when he saw her continue to smile like a fool.

"I do" Jen replied. Tyler had never wore any of the presents that she had got for him.

"If it makes you so happy i'll just wear it everyday then" Lucas responded.

"Do whatever you like"Jen said with red cheeks. She was trying to sound like she didn't care but she was even happier.

Lucas laughed when he saw her reaction before he continued eating his breakfast. Jen also continued nibbling on her toast and drinking her milk leisurely.

"Why do you eat so little for breakfast" Lucas asked as he frowned at her plate.

"Looking at you, you must have a crazy metabolism. I have to watch how much I eat otherwise i'll look like a house. I can indulge once in a while but not too often. Besides, I hate working out" Jen said as she continued nibbling on her toast.

"We should work out together, it'll be fun, I promise" Lucas said.

"I'll think about it" Jen replied. Her appet.i.te had gone once she heard bout working out. She had hardly even eaten half the toast but she was feeling strangely full.

"I'm probably gonna come home late tonight" Lucas said after he finished the gla.s.s of juice he was drinking.

Jen nodded and got up from her seat and took the empty dishes to the kitchen. Lucas carried the remaining dishes and also took them to the kitchen. Although he offered to help with was.h.i.+ng the dishes, he was chased away by Jen.

Lucas went to pick up his tie and quickly tied a very symmetrical knot before picking up his jacket that he draped over his arm and his briefcase. He went to the kitchen where Jen was still was.h.i.+ng dishes and turned her around.

"Your leaving already?" Jen asked as she leaned against the countertop. She could not touch him because her hands still had soap suds so she could only place them on the countertop beside her.

"Mmh, i'll have a lot to catch up on since I was partying all weekend" Lucas said before he leaned forward and kissed her. Jen had to resist the urge to hug him as she would mess up his clothes but she responded enthusiastically.

"If you respond like this everytime it really makes it hard for me to leave"Lucas said as he left a kiss on her jaw and returned to her lips.

He nipped on her bottom lip and Jen opened her mouth, an opportunity that he fully took advantage of as he deepened the kiss. He only released her after playing around for two minutes and left a kiss on her forehead.

"I'll call you" Lucas said as he kissed her on the forehead.

"Mmh, have a nice day, make sure you have your lunch" Jen shouted after his retreating back.

"I will" Lucas said from the door and Jen heard the front door open and then close. She really felt like she was indulging him a bit too much.
