Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

He heard Jen humming in the kitchen as she was cooking and he couldn't help the smile that surfaced on his face. He headed for the kitchen and saw Jen busily cooking and hadn't taken any notice of him.

Lucas snuck behind her and hugged her slim waist pulling her against his firm chest. Jen was so startled she almost dropped the spatula she was holding in her hands.

"Lucas!" she said as if she was scolding him.

"Mmh, good morning" Lucas said as he pushed her hair aside and kissed her neck.

"You startled me" Jen said as she resumed cooking since she was worried she will burn the food.

"You woke me up" Lucas said as he nuzzled his face in her hair.

"Go wash up, i'll be done soon" Jen said as she flipped the eggs.

"Are you free today? Do you have any plans?" Lucas asked while ignoring what she told him.

"Mmh? Not really, I just have to go home and pick up more things" Jen replied.

"Oh," Lucas said.

"Why?" Jen asked curiously.

"Mom invited us for lunch at the main house" Lucas replied. He knew deep down it was an order and not an invitation, but if Jen said no he wouldn't force her.

"Mmmh, okay" Jen said after some thought.

"You're okay with it?" Lucas asked feeling surprised.

"Yeah, your mom is really nice" Jen said as she turned around to look at him. Lucas could only show a bitter smile when he heard this.

"She is, since it's lunch let's not eat a heavy breakfast, I don't want you to cook too much" Lucas said before he kissed the side of her forehead and left the kitchen.

Jen quickly finished up preparing their breakfast and just as she finished setting up their table Lucas came down the stairs after his shower.

The two of them sat on the table and had their breakfast in peaceful silence that was eventually broken by Jen.

"What time should we go?" Jen asked as she took a sip of her milk. Her question made Lucas check the time and he saw that it was only 10am.

"Let's leave in an hour" Lucas said as he stuffed his mouth with food. Jen nodded in response and resumed eating.

An hour later the two of them were in the elevator. Jen was wearing a short light purple dress with sandal wedges on her feet. She let her hair lose since she did not know what to do with it. In contrast Lucas was wearing a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt and a pair of white simple looking sneakers.

The two of them went to the underground parking and climbed on to Lucas' sports car. Jen had seen the car before but she did not think it belonged to Lucas but now that they were getting in the car she could not help but admire it.

"What brand is this?" Jen asked asked as she stroked the smooth leather on the seats of the car.

"Honda NSX" Lucas replied as he started the car. Jen felt like it was pointless to ask since she would not even recognise the brands in the first place. Her puzzled expression amused Lucas who was on the wheel.

He swiftly pulled out of their parking space and was soon speeding along the highway.

"Lucas, can you slow down a bit?" Jen asked with her hands firmly clutched around the seatbelt.

Lucas acted as if he did not hear what she said and continued speedily driving towards his family house. He had not raced in a long time so he was currently holding back in fear of scaring Jen.

A forty minute trip ended up taking half the time and they soon arrived at Lucas' family house. When Lucas stopped the car in front of the house, Jen had to adjust for some time before she got out of the car. When Lucas saw this he couldn't help but feel slightly guilty

"Where were you rushing to? Why did you drive so fast?" Jen complained as she closed her eyes. She had never been car sick before so the fact that she was experiencing car sickness was indication on just how fast Lucas was driving.

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked as he pushed her hair behind her ear.

"of course I'm not, what were you expecting?" Jen started scolding.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away" Lucas apologised when he saw that her complexion got worse.

"If you want to speed, make sure i'm not in the car next time!" Jen scolded before she realised how old she sounded.

"Scratch that, you're not allowed to speed at all."Jen said leaving no room for discussion. Fortunately, Lucas was smart enough not to argue with her on the issue.

After she calmed down, Jen got out of the car and was startled when the front door was suddenly opened by Hellen who was wearing a pair of blue jeans and an oversized shirt. Jen couldn't help but admire her.

Jen's mother always wore dresses or skirts, she did not own any shorts or jeans or leggings, only stockings. As she remembered this she almost rolled her eyes at how girly her mother acts before holding back.

"Jen!" Hellen happily exclaimed as she happily pulled Jen for a hug.

"Hello auntie" Jen said with a genuine smile.

"Did my son give you trouble?" Hellen asked as she glared at Lucas from Jen's shoulder.

"No, not at all" Jen replied. When Hellen heard her she was happy because she realised Jen was not a person who would make private matters public.

"Let's go inside, James has already arrived, he came with Jason" Hellen said as she held on to Jen's arm and led her into the huge house. Lucas slowly followed behind the two women who were talking to each other animatedly and couldn't help but happily smile.

The two women walked as they talked and finally arrived in the living room. Jen saw a man sitting gracefully in one of the comfortable sofas with his hair tied to the nape of his neck. He had a striking resemblance to Hellen and she could only smile nervously as his gaze was directed towards her.

At that moment she couldn't help but think 'Why was this family filled with good looking people?'
