Chapter 156 - Steak

After spending some more time with the girls, Jen finally left their suite. It was already 9pm when she was going back meaning she had been lounging around with her friends for almost six hours without being conscious of the time at all.

She waited for the elevator to arrive and saw that it was coming from the top floor. This made her suspect that Lucas was probably back home. She got on the elevator and arrived at her floor in no time.

The moment she opened her door, she could smell the aroma of food from the kitchen. She ended up swallowing a mouth full of saliva, she hadn't realised she had been feeling hungry until she smelled his cooking.

She rushed into the house and went directly to the kitchen where Lucas was making pan grilled steak. She walked up behind him and snuck her hands around his waist that was partially covered by the ap.r.o.n that was covering the front of his body.

"Your back home" Lucas said as he placed one of his hands on top of hers.

"Mmh, that smells delicious" Jen said as she peeked over his shoulder. She was glad that she was not short otherwise looking over his shoulder would have just been a dream for her.

Lucas turned to check on her and could only see her eyes and part of her nose peek out from behind his shoulder. He chuckled because he thought that she was cute and earned a questioning gaze from Jen whose eyes were focussed on what he was making.

"You were with the girls?" Lucas asked as he flipped the two steaks on the pan.

"Mmh, I got carried away and didn't realise how much time I was away. Do you need any help?" Jen asked as she looked back at the meat grilling in the pan.

"Everything else is done, I just have to finish this. You can go freshen up first then we'll eat" Lucas said happily.

"Mmh, I'll be back soon" Jen said before standing on her toes and kissing his cheek. She then excitedly turned to go wash up.

Lucas smiled fondly when he saw how she seemed to be in a good mood before he continued cooking. After about thirty minutes, the two of them were sitting on the table and having their dinner.

"How was work?" Jen asked as she stabbed her fork into her steak.

"It was alright, my workload has decreased, at least for now." Lucas said as he ate heartily.

"That's a relief. Have you talked to David about the party?" Jen asked after a pause. She was really curious about how he might have responded.

"Mmh, I did" Lucas said and his eyes crinkled into a smile when he remembered Dave's reaction.

"How did it go?" Jen asked curiously and even out her utensils dow to listen.

"He was obviously displeased, and even got angry when I told him that I could find him a date if he couldn't find one by himself." Lucas said with a chuckle.

"He'll probably ask Nancy since they have been talking" Jen said and continued eating her food.

"Mmh," Lucas responded.

Dinner continued leisurely with Jen talking to Lucas about how Rachel was planning on moving the headquarters to City X and before they knew it their conversation became very technical.

One thing that Jen noticed was that going to university to study business has familiarised her with a lot of things she would not have known if she chose to live her life leisurely after her success.

After dinner and clean up they went to the living room to sit together in what seemed forever. As Lucas settled himself on the sofa with his back leaning on the arm rest, Jen also got on the same couch and sat on the s.p.a.ce between his legs before they chose a movie to watch.

Jen's head was resting on Lucas' shoulder and her back on his wide chest. Lucas wrapped his arms around her torso and his chin was resting on the side of her head.

The two of them became immersed into the thriller they were watching and hadn't said a way to each other for thirty minutes until Jen started s.h.i.+fting into a more comfortable position and Lucas kissed the side of her face as if to calm her down. Unfortunately she didn't stay still and continued fidgeting around restlessly.

"What is it? Do you need the bathroom?" Lucas asked when he started losing his patience.

"No, my leg is numb" Jen said as she changed the position of her legs and straightened her back as if she was trying to bring the blood flow back into her legs and in the process she ended up pressing her soft behind against Lucas' front.

After her leg wasn't as numb as before she leaned against Lucas once more completely oblivious to the fact that her actions had provoked Lucas. Even though the two of them continued watching the movie, Lucas was not exactly concentrating on it.

"It's been a while since we just sat like this" Jen commented and fidgeted a bit so that she could get even more comfortable.

"Mmh" Lucas responded and nuzzled his face in her hair. Before Jen realised it she felt his hands in the s.h.i.+rt she was wearing. She hadn't even noticed that he had unb.u.t.toned her s.h.i.+rt in the first place.

"Lucas, what are you doing?" Jen asked her voice already shaky.

"Weren't you deliberately provoking me, with you moving around and sticking this out against me?" Lucas asked as he suddenly held her behind indicating which body part he was talking about.

She was only wearing a pair of panties under the s.h.i.+rt so the hand in her s.h.i.+rt was making direct contact with her skin.

She was not deliberately provoking him. She didn't even know that she was provoking him. Even though her eyes were looking at the screen of the 77 inch television when you look at her closely they were already unfocused.
