"Oh, how are you?" Lucas said feigning interest. In reality he was not interested at all.
"I"m okay, it"s been a long time" Fiona replied with enthusiasm.
"Mmh, unfortunately I can"t catch up with you right now since I have urgent business with my girlfriend" Lucas replied bringing the focus on Jen who was busy studying Fiona.
"Oh, it"s a pleasure to meet you" Fiona said as she extended her hand towards Jen who was only curiously looking at her.
"Oh, same here, you two were acquainted?" Jen asked innocently as if she did not know who Fiona was.
"We were friends from high school" Fiona explained good naturedly as she shook Jen"s hand.
"Is that so?" Jen replied and smiled mysteriously at Lucas who was at a loss of what to do because this scenario had never come up for him in his years of life.
The first time he actually had Jen for breakfast at his restaurant and they ended up meeting Fiona out of all his acquaintances.
"Yes" Fiona replied without losing her composure.
"Well then, it was a pleasure meeting you" Jen said with a friendly smile and looked back at Lucas.
"Do you want some time to catch up or should we go now?" Jen asked Lucas who was standing behind her.
"Let"s go, we are already late. It was nice meeting you" Lucas said to Fiona before ushering Jen out of the restaurant.
The atmosphere had gotten so awkward for him that he did not even to be in the same room as Fiona at that moment. When the two of them were settled in Lucas" BMW in the parking lot, Jen could not help but laugh loudly.
Lucas could not understand what had made her laugh so readily. He personally did not think that the situation he was in previously was amusing in any way at all.
"Is it your day? How could you meet your ex so early in the morning?" Jen asked Lucas with a voice filled with amus.e.m.e.nt.
[A/N: Girl wait your turn]
Lucas did not reply but was instead wondering why he would meet Fiona at his hotel.
The two of them arrived at the mall in less than twenty minutes and during the whole ride, Jen was making fun of Lucas who was driving solemnly.
When they arrived at the mall they visited all the jewelry shops and at each shop Jen kept on asking to see the manager leaving Lucas to see the jewelry freely.
After an hour of mysterious discussion with the mysterious managers, it seemed that Jen had finally found what she had been looking for.
"You could have just told me what you wanted and I would have a.s.signed it to the design team at the company" Lucas said once Jen was standing next to him after she paid for what she had ordered.
"I could have, but if I did so, it would completely lose its meaning" Jen clarified.
"Oh, is there anything else you need?" Lucas asked and before he knew it, he was being pulled into and out of numerous shops in the mall. Jen bought a couple of formal and casual wear from the shops and finally pulled Lucas into the lingerie section of Viv"s lingerie shops.
They were very popular for their comfortable and tasteful lingeries so she had planned to stock up on her lingerie collection.
When the two of them entered the shop one of the clerks immediately approached them to a.s.sist Jen in choosing and finding things that were her size.
"Is there anything in particular that you want?" the clerk asked Jen and watched as Jen familiarly picked up a basket to throw in all the things that she was going to buy.
The clerk accompanied Jen in looking for lingerie that would suit her and even managed to convince her to actually try out what she had chosen because it was normal for a lot of people to be uncomfortable to actually try on undergarments.
Jen had given Lucas her purse and shades and left him sitting waiting for her to finish, so she comfortably went to the changing rooms to try on the underwear. After a few minutes Lucas heard Jen call out to him urgently. He stood outside her changing room but could not imagine any scenario that would make her call him so urgently.
"Jen, are you okay?" Lucas asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed with worry until Jen opened the door and pulled him inside before locking it again.
Lucas stood in the changing room in stunned silence as he looked at Jen who was half naked. His eyes trailed over the lingerie she was wearing with surprise before looking at her face once more.
"Do you like it?" Jen asked Lucas who was looking at the mirror that was reflecting the view from behind. He saw that she was still wearing her own underwear and was not wearing the ones from the store directly.
"Mmh" Lucas replied and pulled as the garter belt that was right beneath her a.s.s cheeks before mischievously letting it snapback startling her from the impact it made with her skin.
"I like it" Lucas said and looked at her intensely making her fl.u.s.tered. She had wanted to tease him but she had the feeling that she had fallen into her own trap.
"Then i"ll buy it, you c-can go out now" Jen said and tried pus.h.i.+ng Lucas out but as expected he turned her around and pressed her back against his body and the two of them looked at each other through the mirror in the dressing room.
"After tricking me into coming here, you want me to just leave? After seeing you looking like this, you want me to just walk away?" Lucas said softly and trailed a finger across her lace covered chest as they made eye contact through the mirror.
"Lucas, we are in public" Jen said warily as she watched his finger go down her side raising the gooseb.u.mps on her skin..
"Really?, I didn"t notice" Lucas said sarcastically as he nibbled on her ear making her release the breath she had been holding. Lucas noticed that there was still a pile of lingerie that she had yet to try out but he did not think he would be patient enough.
"Hurry up and change back. Tell the clerk to give you this set in every colour" Lucas said breaking the trance she was in before he turned her around and quickly kissed her lips. He released her and left before she could recover her bearings.
She knew in the back of her mind that this would happen, but she was not able to help herself because as much as he teased her, she did not hate it. In fact, she liked it, maybe a bit too much, although she will never admit it to anyone, much less herself.
Jen smiled unconsciously as she changed back to her clothes and left the changing rooms. She walked over to the counter and Lucas followed her there asking them to get what she picked in every colour making Jen and the other store clerks look at him in surprise. He, on the other hand, did not care at all.
He took out his card and it was swiped even before Jen realised what happened and when she came to they were already out of the store. She could only speechlessly follow him as he was navigating his way in the mall.
