The following morning Lucas woke up first with Jen"s naked body body laying on top of his with her head comfortably resting on his chest and their legs entwined with each other"s. He could feel her warm shallow breaths on his skin and gently stroked her hair that was spread out across both their bodies.
He picked up his phone to check the time and saw that it was already past 10 am. He saw that his mother had sent him a message asking if he was going to go the main house for lunch and he quickly replied that Jen was not feeling well and he was taking care of her.
He looked at the woman who was still sleeping on top of him and saw the bruising on her skin from the previous night;s love making and figured that she would not have the face to face his family while she had a body full of hickies.
He pulled her body so that she was resting higher up his body and she adjusted herself so that she was comfortable and continued sleeping her breath lightly caressing his neck.
After staying like that for thirty minutes Lucas eventually got off the bed and went to the bathroom to shower otherwise he would have fallen asleep again. He quickly washed and put on a pair of sweatpants and a wife beater before he went to the downstairs gym.
He diligently worked out for two hours before he came back to shower once more and saw that Jen was still asleep. It was already past noon so he woke her up and after some resistance she finally woke up.
"Go freshen up, i"ll go make something to eat" Lucas said once he saw that she was awake.
"Wait, there"s something I want to tell you" Jen said as she pulled on the hem of the t-s.h.i.+rt he was wearing.
"What is it?" Lucas asked curiously.
"Come closer" Jen said and tugged on his arm. Lucas complied and ended up laying beside her.
Jen leaned over and capture his lips with hers and they ended up kissing for a good three minutes before they separated.
"I"m sore" Jen said with a pout.
"I"ve prepared a bath for you. If you"ll still be uncomfortable, I can prepare the hot tub for you this evening to ease the muscles that you have worked last night." Lucas said as he held her.
"Mmh, I"d appreciate that" Jen said and slowly got off the bed. Her muscles were deliciously worked on from last night"s activities and she tried her best to look like she was not sore at all.
When she was in the bathroom she took off the towel that Lucas had brought her after toying with her for a while and saw that her neck and shoulders were littered with hickies. She could not see everything but with what she could see, she could conclude that her entire body probably looked like that.
Soon enough, Jen finished with her bath and wore one of Lucas" t-s.h.i.+rts before going downstairs.
She saw that he was busy peeling apples although the other foods were already set on the table.
Jen picked up an apple slice and bit into it as she looked at Lucas who was also looked at her.
"You made brunch?" Jen asked as she watched him evenly slice the apple he was handling.
"Mmh, I wanted to eat breakfast food but since it"s lunch-" Lucas said leaving his sentence hanging. Jen could understand what he was trying to say. So she just nodded in understanding.
"I get you, sometimes you just want to eat eggs, sausages, bread, cereal and the like" Jen said in agreement.
After a short period of silence, Lucas decided to tell her of what his mother had texted him that morning.
"Mom wanted us to go home today" Lucas said and looked at Jen. She had paused as she was chewing because she was surprised.
"Is that so? What did you tell her?" Jen asked as she continued chewing, although the apple in her mouth seemed to have suddenly lost any taste.
"I told her you weren"t feeling well so we can"t come" Lucas said with eyes filled with amus.e.m.e.nt when he saw that her expression was not good.
When she heard his reply she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucas carried the plate of fruits to the table with Jen trailing behind him silently. He pulled a chair for her and sat next to her rather than across from her and put some food and her plate. Jen turned and looked at him quizzically.
"What?" Lucas asked.
"You"re being weird, is it because of this?" Jen asked as she pulled on the neck of the t-s.h.i.+rt she was wearing exposing a shoulder full of hickies.
Lucas looked at the smooth skin that was littered with hickies and couldn"t help but smile.
"It"s not like you didn"t leave anything on me" Lucas said with a smile.
If he had to compare the amount of hickies they had she would win however she had made a mess of his back the previous night with her nails. He had not seen it but he definitely felt some areas sting when he was in the shower.
"Hmm" Jen replied and took a bite of the toast on her plate.
"Do you want to do anything today?" Lucas asked as he put some sausages on her plate.
"Well. I don"t. I have an exam on Thursday and I need to revise" Jen said as she shook her head.
"Oh, do you need any help with studying?" Lucas asked.
"Heh, no thank you" Jen replied. She knew that she would not do any studying if she was going to let him teach her. SHe would probably end up learning things that are not related to her studies at all.
"I"ll just have to work then" Lucas said and stroked her hair.
"Speaking of Thursday, my friends will be coming but I won"t be able to pick them up. Can you do me a favor and get someone to pick them up?" Jen asked as she fluttered her eyebrows.
"No problem, i"ll get someone to pick them up"
"Thanks, i"ll make it up to you" Jen said with a smile as she put some eggs on his plate.
"Don"t forget" Lucas said with a chuckle.
