Lazy day

Jen was really tempted to wake him up but he looked very tired. When she recalled how he kept dozing off the previous night she felt even more discouraged to wake him.

She decided to get of bed and go make some food but she was suddenly grabbed by a strong arm that had snaked around her waist. Lucas had pulled her back in bed and she was laying on the mattress once more.

"Stay with me for a bit longer" Lucas coaxed as he collected her in his arms. Her back was pressed against his chest and his face was nuzzled between her shoulder and neck. His warm breath blew across her skin when he talked making her skin tingle. Jen was flustered but she did not put up a resistance.

"I should get out of bed, or I'll be lethargic all day," Jen said trying to persuade him to release her.

"One more hour, hmm?" Lucas replied with no intentions of releasing her. Jen found herself giving in and after a few minutes, she could feel Lucas' breathing slow down as he fell asleep once more. She would have gotten out of bed by then but there was no way she could do so without waking him up.

As she lay there listening to his breathing and feeling his chest rise and fall rhythmically against her back, she was also lulled into sleep.

She woke up again after an hour and slowly sneaked out of Lucas' embrace. She picked up the clothes that she was planning to change in to and left her room. She went to the other bedroom in the house and took a shower there. She quickly wore her shorts and T-shirt and went back to her room to put her things in the hamper.

She sneaked into her bathroom and quickly brushed her teeth and finally left her room. As she shut her bedroom door she almost laughed at herself for sneaking around in her own house. She headed straight to the kitchen to see what she could fix-up.

As she looked at her refrigerator, she knew that she would have to go out for grocery shopping soon. She opened her freezer and took out some meat and set it aside to let it thaw when she decided she'd make beef stir fry since she did not have enough ingredients to begin with. She also didn't feel like making anything too complex since she was still slightly out of it.

After she had made up her mind on what else she would cook, she made some toast as she turned on her coffee maker. She scrolled through Woofer as she waited for her coffee and realised that her following had increased.

She hardly ever posted and was surprised to see this, numerous people had tagged her on different posts. She ended up wasting her time like this for a while before she heard her bedroom door open.

Lucas walked out wearing her pink bathrobe while drying his hair with her towel. Jen was dumbfounded, she had never expected to see Lucas wear her pink bathrobe in her house and he looked weirdly adorable in it.

Lucas saw that she was in a daze and walked up next to her to see what she was so focused on. When he saw their picture on her phone screen he was a bit surprised. Jen saw that he was surprised and found herself commenting on the pictures.

"How could they post this?" Jen asked as she showed him the picture of her blocking his mouth as she smiled apologetically to the people around them. Lucas was amused when he saw the picture and couldn't help but slightly chuckle.

Jen kept on showing him their pictures online, sometimes complaining and sometimes praising some of them. Lucas was leaning against her from behind with his head resting on her shoulder as they looked at the pictures.

When Jen got to the picture of him asking her to dance with him, Lucas asked her to stop scrolling. He thought it was a really good picture.

"I like this one, who posted it?"

"It was on an online news blog," Jen said simply.

"Send me the link," Lucas told her and she forwarded the link to him.

"Do you like it that much?" Jen asked

"Mmmh" Lucas responded vaguely. Jen stopped scrolling through the posts and served the coffee that had been brewing.

"Don't you think it's interesting?" Lucas said suddenly

"What is?" Jen responded as she passed him a coffee mug.

"Everyone has taken our first picture as a couple when we haven't taken one yet," Lucas said as if he was complaining.

"Then, should we take a picture together?" Jen joked

"Mmm," Lucas seriously responded with a nod making Jen speechless. She decided to ignore him and decided to just start cooking. Lucas approached her as she was cutting up the ingredients she needed and asked if she needed any help.

She used the knife she was holding to point to the direction of the pantry and asked him to get some rice and wash it. He obediently did as she said and washed the rice before putting it in the rice cooker to cook. Jen looked at him mysteriously before asking.

"Can you cook?" she asked curiously.

"Yes, I just don't have the time and there are people doing it for me. Besides, cooking for your self is kind of off-putting don't you think?" Lucas said simply earning a glare from Jen.

"So I'm one of those people who do it for you anyway?" Jen asked

"That isn't what I meant, I was talking about the chefs at home, and I know that you cook for me because you are genuinely concerned about me," Lucas said as he hugged her from behind coaxing her.

Jen had known for a while that Lucas was a very touchy person, but she couldn't help how her heart fluttered every time he would hold her or touch her.
