The following day Jen woke up late as she had predicted. Lucas had rolled her body into so many positions last night that she was not surprised that she woke up with sore muscles. The space next to her was empty and she could hear the sound of the shower running.

She hugged the duvet that had been covering her and looked up at the ceiling with a dazed expression. Tonight, they were going to meet with their friends for a farewell party they were holding for Lucas, and they were going to drop him off at the airport as a collective the next day.

As she was wallowing in her own thoughts, she heard the bathroom door open and saw Lucas walk out while drying his hair with a towel.

"Awake?" Lucas asked when her sleepy gaze met his own.

"Mmmh," Jen answered as she yawned and rubbed her watering eyes. Lucas had a hard time resisting this sight, so he went to her side of the bed and sat down next to her. 

"Slept well?" he asked her and she nodded as her cheeks turned pink from recalling what they did the previous night. He smiled when he saw her gradually turn pink and pecked her lips.

"I'll go make breakfast, what do you want to eat?" he asked her as he pulled down the duvet she was tightly holding on to.

"Anything," Jen answered as she vigilantly held on to the duvet. She had passed out from exhaustion after their activities the previous night, so she was still naked under the duvet.

"Aren't you hot in there?" Lucas asked as he continued to tug at the duvet, finally succeeding to expose her legs.

"Why don't you go get dressed? Why are you trying to uncover me?" Jen asked as she continued to firmly hold on to the duvet. She was determined not to lose to him.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore," Lucas said and got up from the bed. Jen continued to watch him warily until when he walked into the closet. She waited for a few more seconds before she got up and rushed to pick up her robe before going to the bathroom.

She took a warm shower and brushed her teeth before leaving the bathroom. Hearing no noise in their room, she figured that he had already gone downstairs, so she went to get dressed so she could join him. She put on a pair of shorts and a crop top and went downstairs as she was unbraiding her hair.

Lucas had just finished frying some eggs when she showed up, and he smiled when he saw her rushing to the kitchen with her curly ponytail swinging left and right. 

"Are you done?" she asked as she peeked at what he was doing from the side.

"Not yet," Lucas said as he took out other things he wanted to make. Jen had held on to his arm when she came because his muscles looked so much more prominent when he wore a short-sleeved t-shirt, especially the ones that hugged his upper arms.

"Can you let me cook?" Lucas asked as he glanced at Jen, who was being very clingy with him. He couldn't help but smile at her when she looked up at him. 

"Go ahead and cook," Jen said and bit her lower lip as if she was anticipating the breakfast he was making.

"You aren't making this easy," Lucas said and stopped what he was doing to give her his full attention. Jen stared back at him and tilted her head.

"What is it?" Lucas asked as he stroked her cheek with his thumb.

"Hm?" Jen responded in question. 

"Is it because I didn't give you a proper morning kiss?" Lucas asked her and used his other hand to hold her waist. Jen released his arm and wrapped her arms around his neck. The more she looked at him, the more she felt he was good looking.

Since he was at home, he did not neatly comb his hair so it fell on his face in messy curls. That combined with the dimples that appeared whenever he smiled made him look very attractive.

"Mmmh," Jen agreed with his speculation, and he laughed at her frankness. Jen was dazed for a few seconds before he forced her back to her senses when he kissed her.

Jen relaxed against him and kissed him back once she was out of her daze. Lucas' fingers stroked the bare skin on her waist. An icy finger teased her belly button, making her fidget and almost pull away from him, but he stopped promptly. 

Jen opened her mouth against his when she felt him continuously coax her lips into opening. He teased her tongue with his and licked the roof of her mouth. When his hands rose to her chest, he noticed that she was not wearing a bra. In his happiness, he even stopped kissing her to take a look.

"Did you stick those things again?" Lucas asked, remembering the sight of her bare breasts with only the nipples covered. Jen felt herself blush when she remembered the last time stuck those "things" and never got them back after he had played with her at the library.

"I didn't stick anything. You go ahead and cook," Jen said and hurriedly escaped from the kitchen. Lucas chuckled as he watched her flee and continued with his cooking.

Jen went to the living room and sat crossed-legged on the couch as she hugged a soft pillow while still red-faced.

If Lucas had the chance to tease her, he would never forego it. She stared at the black screen of the tv for a few seconds before deciding to continue watching the series Jason was in that had caused his family so much distress because he lost weight for it.

When she was halfway through an episode, Lucas called her to the table for breakfast. She responded that she was coming and pressed pause before going to the dining table. Lucas was already sitting and sipping on his coffee. Jen sat down next to him and drank a mouthful of her milk before picking up her fork to eat the specially made breakfast.

"Should we go to the estate after breakfast?" Lucas asked her after watching her enjoy his cooking for a few minutes.

"We can go whenever, it's up to you," Jen answered without care.

"Should we go to the airport from the estate tomorrow or she should we come back home?" Lucas continued to ask. After hearing this question, Jen paused briefly in her eating before resuming.

"Let's just go from the estate, it's also closer to the airport," Jen said after being silent for some time. Lucas knew how she felt, but he didn't feel that it was proper to avoid the topic of him leaving. It was a reality that they would face the following day, and they both had to accept their upcoming separation.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Lucas said and brushed a few stray hairs away from her face.

"Mmmh," Jen responded with a nod and continued to eat. Once they finished eating, Jen went to wash the dishes while Lucas went back to their room to pack a suitcase. When Jen came up after she was done, she saw that his suitcase was filled with the suits he wore for work. 

"Aren't you going to take your other clothes with you?" Jen asked him as she went to sit down next to his suitcase and started arranging his clothes so that he would have more space to take more.

"I can just casually buy those," Lucas said with furrowed eyebrows. He hated packing, so he wasn't having the time of his life.

"Just bring what you need, I'll help you pack," Jen said as she laughed at his expression. Only then did his expression ease up by a lot.

Jen helped him fill up his suitcase and because he did not want to have a lot of luggage, she was forced to cram everything in the one suitcase. She complained to no end as she sat on top of the suitcase as Lucas worked to zip it up.

"It's not like you'll ever need to carry it yourself, why are you making it so hard for no reason?" Jen asked him as she watched him circle the suitcase as he zipped it up.

"It's easier to think that I only need to unpack one bag than it is to unpack three. I'll end up taking six months to unpack them if they are too much. Lucas explained his logic as he was on one knee in front of her. Jen understood but did not understand him at the same time.

She could not sleep unless she has unpacked all her bags after she arrives. Unless she has moved from one house to another and the scale of the things she needs to sort out was very big.

"So you'll unpack this on the day that you arrive?" Jen asked him as she rested her head on her hand, moving slightly forward in the process.

"I won't promise you anything, but since I'll need them for work, I must unpack it eventually," Lucas said as he too sat on the floor, resting his hands on her lap. Jen pulled back a bit from the sudden proximity they had before relaxing once again.

"Should we go now?" Jen asked him as she combed back his hair with her fingers, exposing his forehead in the process.

"Mmmh, we can go now," Lucas answered and pecked her lips before standing up and lifting her off his suitcase.
