"What about James?" Jen asked curiously. She had only heard about him but was completely in the dark about him. She had also never met him.
"James looks like my mother" Lucas said with a laugh. Jen wondered why he was laughing but remembered how pretty his mother was. She figured he might not have had an easy time when he was younger.
"Why are you laughing?" Jen asked.
"It"s nothing. it"s just that that brother of mine is really cold. Even though he looks a lot like mom he is actually really tall" Lucas continued to describe James.
"Really?" Jen asked her curiosity really piqued. If Lucas described him as tall, then he was probably-
"He is taller than I am by a couple of inches" Lucas said with a smile cutting off her thoughts mid way.
"Really?" Jen asked
"Yes, though he is quite skinny" Lucas exaggerated.
"I doubt it" Jen said with a laugh.
"At least compared to me and Jason. He looks like he could walk the runway anytime" Lucas explained.
"Ah~" Jen said and nodded repeatedly as if she is understanding something. "So the three brothers are just different types of hot"
"Yeah, he is pretty warm hearted although he walks around with a cold expression on his face" Lucas said.
"Really?" Jen asked.
"Yeah, although he has always seen me as a kid" Lucas said making Jen laugh. Lucas looked like anything but a kid.
The two of them talked a bit more about their families before Jen fell asleep as she was listening to Lucas" soothing voice. When he noticed that she was asleep he took the empty mug she was holding and put it on the side table before he adjusted her position so they were both comfortable and pulled up the blanket to cover her up.
He was trying to distract her from thoughts of the nightmare she had and thoughts of the stalker. He was feeling even more frustrated since he had gone missing. As he was lost in his thoughts he too finally dozed off.
Greg knew he made a blunder. He was very careful since the time he was abducted by Tyler. He didn"t know why he decided to go to her house on friday. He saw no movements all day and grew worried so he forcefully went inside, but what he did not expect was the men who started pursuing him.
He knew he was in trouble, he just didn"t know who he was in trouble with. If it was Tyler he would probably break his legs but if it was her new boyfriend, he really didn"t know how far he would go and this was even scarier to him.
He was not a fool, he had done some research on her current boyfriend and found out that he was from the richest family in the country. He knew rich people also did dirty business, and that they were acquainted with numerous people from the underworld. He had already experienced it with Tyler.
He could already feel an oncoming headache. He looked at his surroundings and for the first time he was afraid. He was not scared even when he was taken by Tyler but he was experiencing real fear at that moment.
He cursed at his own recklessness before he sat on the uncomfortable motel bed. He stared at his back up phone wondering whether he should as his father for help. He knew by doing so he would implicate his entire family so he was very hesitant about it.
Greg sighed and laid down on the bed. He needed a way to save himself soon because the best case scenario was ending up in the police station. If he kept on delaying this, then he knew other means would be employed to find him. He had to act quickly before he was in real trouble.
The following day, Jen woke up sprawled on top of Lucas who was still sleeping deeply. After her nightmare she had a dreamless sleep and she was feeling very refreshed when she woke up. She slowly got up from the sofa and covered Lucas with the blanket that she was using and went to their room to take a shower. She showered and washed her hair before going back downstairs wearing another one of Lucas" t-s.h.i.+rts with a towel draped across her shoulders.
She went all the way down to the level with the pool. She remembered that they did not clear up the place when they were there the previous night. So she went to pick up the empty bottle of wine and the unopened bottle together with the empty bottle of water that Lucas had brought down the previous night.
She couldn"t stop her face from flus.h.i.+ng when she looked at the hot tub. As she looked around she realised that although the place gave people privacy since it was so high up. Seeing the busy streets below and some of the hotel guests having their breakfast on their balconies made her realise that even if no one saw them, if she had been loud enough last night people would have heard her.
After that thought she turned around and immediately fled the area. She went to the main floor and saw that Lucas was still asleep. She didn"t bother him since it was already rare for him to have enough rest, so she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. As she was busying herself she started thinking about how she should go home to take some more clothes and other necessities.
Since she was lost in her thoughts she had completely forgotten that Lucas was sleeping not too far away so she was not careful with the noise she was making. Eventually, Lucas woke up from the noise and the smell of food. The house was still dark as they had not drawn the curtains yet so didn"t know what time of the day it was.
As he sat up on the couch, he felt his phone vibrate on the side table. He picked it up and saw that he received a text from his mother.
[Come home for lunch, bring Jen with you, your brothers will also be here].
Lucas was planning on lazing around all day so he was not very happy about the message he received. He knew he had to go otherwise he would not hear the end of it for months.
