Jen gave him a nod and he led her to the dance floor. The music had already started so Lucas snaked one arm around her waist and held her hand with his other hand. She had one of her hands in his as the other rested on his shoulder and they gracefully moved across the dance floor.

The couple looked so beautiful that everyone was watching them in awe. After some time Noah and h.e.l.len joined them then more people kept joining the dance floor, they were not dancing as freely as before and were basically dancing in one place at this point.

"Thank you for coming today," Lucas said genuinely.

"It was my pleasure, besides it was for you" Jen replied with a smile. She then felt the arm around her waist tighten as she was pulled closer to him. Their bodies stood flush against each other. Lucas felt her chest pressed against his and he couldn't help the devilish smile that appeared on his face.

"You know if this was back in the day standing this close to each other would have been scandalous" Jen commented after realizing what he was doing.

"Oh really? Then what would have been the repercussions?" Lucas asked

"Well, you would be labelled a rogue, and my reputation would have turned to s.h.i.+t" Jen replied slightly amused by his interest.

"Oh… then would I have had to marry you to salvage your reputation?" Lucas teased

"Actually, your right, only marriage would have saved my reputation," Jen said, deciding to tease him back.

Lucas was taken aback. He had thought that she would become embarra.s.sed and look away. Her response made him smile.

"Then I would just marry you" Lucas proudly declared, he was a bit too loud so the people who were close to them had heard him. Jen blocked his mouth with her hand to stop him from saying something else outrageous in such a loud voice.

His eyes were glinting with mischief, Jen could only give an unnecessary apologetic smile to the people around her as if she was trying to say he was a bit drunk and not to take him seriously.

Lucas really wanted to laugh but he refrained from doing so.

He could only remove her hand from his mouth since they looked strange dancing like that. Jen gave him a cutting glare and had to admit that when it came to teasing, Lucas will always be one step ahead of her.

They continued dancing and kept flirting with each other for the rest of the night. When the event ended, they stood at the door to bid the guests farewell before they were able to leave. It was way past midnight by the time the event was over.

Jen was slightly tipsy and Lucas was exhausted. They left the hall and walked through the many hallways towards the entrance of the hotel. Jen was holding on to Lucas' arm as they walked as she was tired and even though it looked like they were being affectionate, half of Jen's weight was on him. They stood at the entrance waiting for Lucas' car before they saw Lucas' parents' car park before them.

"Lucas, you have to give your girlfriend my number, Jen you can call me anytime," h.e.l.len said from the open window. Lucas just nodded and Jen smiled at her before nodding towards h.e.l.len. Noah just nodded at the two before their car drove off.

Lucas' car finally arrived a couple of seconds later.

Lucas opened the car door for Jen before going to the driver's seat and settling himself. He watched Jen who was drowsy. She seemed a bit tired from the night. He slowly drove to her house so he would spend that much more time with her.

Jen fell asleep at some point during their drive and felt herself being shaken awake. She opened her eyes only to see Lucas' face close to hers. She blinked once as she looked at him trying to get her bearings. She noticed his jacket that was covering her upper body.

"We're home," Lucas said as he inclined the seat she was sitting in. their faces just got closer as the seat inclined. They were very close to each other but Lucas didn't do anything funny, instead, he unbuckled her seat belt and helped her out of the car.

Jen was still dazed as Lucas walked her to her house. When she got to her house she quickly unlocked her door and invited Lucas inside. Lucas went in and sat on one of the bar stools on the kitchen counter.

Jen went to her room and removed her dress and wore a t-s.h.i.+rt to the kitchen. She quickly prepared some noodles for them to eat. Mostly because she knew that Lucas hadn't eaten for the whole day. Even though he had promised to take better care of himself, she knew that he did not.

Her father used to be a CEO so she knew how things really were when they worked. Lucas watched her move around her kitchen chopping up ingredients and boiling the noodles. However, after a while, he fell asleep on the kitchen counter. Jen didn't bother him until she was done cooking. She shook his shoulder a bit and he woke up.

He apologized for falling asleep but Jen brushed it off as nothing to worry about. She served him the noodles which he quickly ate without really tasting anything since he looked a bit dazed. After he was done, he sat down as he watched her clean up.

He wanted to help but he was so tired. He had been holding back all day, he ended up falling asleep again. Jen quickly washed the dishes before going to wake Lucas up. She knew not to let him drive so late in the night while he was so tired so she coaxed him to go to her room.

She pushed him to lie on her bed and removed his shoes and socks, she also removed his jacket and tie. She unb.u.t.toned his s.h.i.+rt and removed his belt opening the hook that fastened his pants up to make him more comfortable.

She headed to her bathroom and took a quick shower before she got out and put on a pyjama s.h.i.+rt from her wardrobe and climbed onto her bed. If it was any other time she would have asked Lucas to go home, but the thought of him falling asleep behind the wheel worried her too much so she let him spend the night at her house.

She watched him sleep and she could not believe that this beautiful man was all hers. She traced his profile with her finger. It ran from his eyebrows down to his aquiline nose and his full lips. His eyebrows slightly wrinkled when she touched his lips and his arms enveloped her and pulled her against him.

She was enveloped in his embrace, her face pressed against his smooth muscled chest. Eventually, she felt comfortable in his embraced and his warmth lulled her to sleep. They ended up spending the night together in each other's embrace, peacefully.
