The next morning Jen had overslept again. She didn't understand why she was so tired the previous day. Maybe she has been working too hard because she can't be experiencing burnout so soon. She hurriedly brushed her teeth and headed for the kitchen to make breakfast.

She was busy cutting up the ingredients and frying things. She turned on her coffee maker and finished up the breakfast. She made french toast, fried some bacon, she also made an omelette and a salad. After she was done she rushed to her bathroom and had a quick shower. She was glad that she washed her hair the previous night because she would have had some blow-drying to do.

She had started getting dressed when she heard her doorbell. Groaning from frustration she wrapped herself in a towel since she was only wearing her underwear and went to open the front door. Lucas stood there with a big smile on his face and a bouquet of flowers. She felt really awkward to accept them since she was still wearing her towel. Lucas saw her conflicted look and he could only find it adorable.

"Hi," he said with his big smile

"Hi," she said awkwardly

"I said to dress for comfort, but I wasn't expecting this" Lucas teased, if Jen was not feeling awkward she would have seen the mischievous smile that was on his lips.

"Ï'm sorry I'm running late, " Jen said as she stepped inside to give him s.p.a.ce so he could enter. He closed the door behind himself and followed her inside. He could smell the food she cooked and was suddenly made aware of his hunger.

"I was just joking don't be too serious, we don't have a deadline, so take your time getting ready we literally have all day okay?" Lucas said as he brushed away the loose hairs on her face. His gesture was comforting and she didn't feel as rushed as she was before.

"I made breakfast you can have some," she said a bit nervously since Lucas was standing so close to her. Lucas could smell the scent of her soap and it reminded him of when he spent the night at her place.

He slightly shook his head and let her go before he did something that would force them to have a change of plans.

"I'll wait for you so we can have it together," Lucas said figuring that she probably didn't eat since she was feeling so rushed. Jen nodded and quickly ran to her bedroom, her towel almost falling off on the way.

Lucas chuckled as he watched her go and sat down on her sofa to wait for her. The television was on so he was watching the show that was on but was not really paying attention, he had completely s.p.a.ced out.

Jen's heart was beating rapidly, she felt excited when Lucas had moved close to her. She would not have had much resistance if he had made any advances. She was a bit fl.u.s.tered that after not seeing him for a day her reaction was already like this. At the same time, she was feeling bad about making him wait for her on his own so she tried to be as quick as possible. She ignored her pounding heart and dashed to her walk-in closet to pick out her outfit.

She decided to wear a pair of skinny jeans and a boyfriend s.h.i.+rt. Since she was still around she didn't bother with wearing any shoes and put on put on some simple makeup which mainly consisted of some eyeliner and mascara.

She rarely had to use any of the cakey products since she had such healthy skin. She made up her mind that she would put on her lipstick once she was done eating and walked out of her room.

She spotted Lucas in her living room watching tv. She stood in front of him but it was like he did not notice that she was there. She poked his cheek and he finally came to. He saw Jen smiling at him and was surprised that he was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed her presence.

"Let's go eat," Jen said before dragging him to the dining area. He insisted on helping out so they ended up serving the food on their plates in the kitchen.

They sat together at the table and had their breakfast together. Jen was amused as she watched Lucas eat with so much relish. She went to the kitchen to get him more food since he was enjoying himself so much.

"You look hungry, haven't you been eating?" Jen asked as she added more food to his plate. Luke just nodded his head vaguely as he continued eating.

She sat in front of him and asked him again.

"Have you been eating?"

"I had breakfast yesterday," he said

"Okay, and?" she prodded.

"I'm having breakfast now," he said. Jen gave him a complicated look. She was tempted to hit him over the head. How could he be so mature one minute and behave like this in the next?

"You should take care of yourself, don't you think it'll be troublesome if you got sick?"

"Missing a couple of meals won't make me sick," Lucas said trying to justify himself.

"You're preparing to officially start working and you are already like this. How far will you go when you actually start working?" Jen ended up scolding him.

Contrary to the reaction she was expecting he was actually smiling.

Lucas was happy that she was worried about it, it showed that she was also thinking about him which made him ecstatic.

"Did I say something funny?" Jen asked not understanding his reaction at all.

"You're worried about me?"

"Tch, if I wasn't would we be having this conversation?" Jen was annoyed now.

"I'll pay more attention, okay? So don't be upset" Lucas said and stroked her hair like he was pacifying an angry kitten.

Jen felt like she was being toyed with so she just kept quiet.

"Where are we going today?" Jen asked seriously curious

"We're going shopping," Lucas told her but did not elaborate.

"Shopping? For what?" Jen asked.

"Don't be impatient, you'll find out soon," Lucas said as he put down his utensils and rubbed his tummy.

"Thanks for breakfast" he added sweetly.

"Your welcome" Jen replied with a smile
