Soon enough they arrived at Lucas" house. Jen was stunned by how big the place was. It was like one of the mansions you"d normally see on TV but never actually think that there are people who live in them. Even though Jen was from a family that also used to be wealthy, at that moment she could clearly see the difference between them as she looked at the huge house.
They also had a huge house but she couldn"t help but think that it would probably be equivalent to just a fraction of his house. Lucas could help but look at her since there were a huge variety of expressions that pa.s.sed through her face. They saw that there were two moving trucks in front of his house as they were going in.
Lucas got out of his car and went to open the door for Jen. They saw the movers carrying different boxes out of the house varying in size. Lucas didn"t know he had so many things that he would need two moving trucks.
Lucas handed his car keys to the butler who was standing at the front door watching the movers work. He took his keys and went to park his car at the garage. As they got inside they saw h.e.l.len giving instructions to the movers on what to take.
She was wearing a pair of jeans and a top with sandals. Jen was definitely not expecting to see her dressed so casually, she looked much younger than she did the previous day. Her mother probably owned one pair of jeans since she was always wearing dresses.
When she spotted the two she immediately smiled and pulled Jen into a hug pretty much ignoring Lucas. She was very happy to see Jen come since she didn"t actually think she"d come just because she asked her. She started talking to her enthusiastically completely forgetting about the movers and Lucas.
Lucas stood there wondering why there were so many boxes around the house not knowing that h.e.l.len had personally prepared so many things for Lucas without saying anything.
He looked at one box that had pa.s.sed in front of him that was labelled plates, another one was labelled bowls and another one was labelled gla.s.ses. He couldn"t help but turn to look at his mother incredulously. However, his mother"s attention was not on him at all.
h.e.l.len was currently speaking animatedly with Jen who also seemed to be surprised by the number of things that were being moved. However, before she could say anything they were interrupted by Lucas.
"Mom, are you kicking me out?" Lucas asked as he walked towards the two women.
"I know you wouldn"t have thought of buying all these things so I bought them for you," h.e.l.len said still smiling brightly as she continued holding both of Jen"s hands.
"That would be the case if I didn"t go shopping with Jen, you can tell them to bring these things back. I don"t need so much since I"ll be living alone anyway." Lucas said as he turned to stop one of the movers. However, his arm was grabbed by Jen who looked a bit displeased.
"Your mom bought these for you if you leave them here what is she going to use them for?" Jen said taking h.e.l.len"s side making her feel pleased.
"Just consider them house warming gifts okay?" h.e.l.len said cheerfully and then continued to ignore Lucas.
Now Lucas was the one in charge of instructing the movers since h.e.l.len was so distracted.
After a while, he noticed that his things were not moved yet and politely "borrowed" Jen from his mother and took her to his room.
It was the first time she was in his personal s.p.a.ce like this, but nothing could have prepared her for his "room". The place was almost as big as her house.
"Your room is huge" Jen commented. Lucas didn"t say anything since he really didn"t know what to say.
"Did you prepare all the things you need?" Jen asked as she sat on his emperor sized bed. He probably needed it since he was so tall, Jen reasoned as she continued to look at his room curiously.
"Not yet, I"ll just bring a couple of clothes and buy the rest. I"ll be coming to visit anyway so I won"t take everything. Lucas replied before walking towards his walk-in closet.
She watched him as he went to his walk-in closet and came out with two empty suitcases. He made a couple of trips to his closet taking out the clothes that he wanted to leave with. Jen couldn"t stand it anymore and offered to help him pack.
So the two of them stood side by side packing the two suitcases. There was a huge difference between the suitcase Jen packed and the one Lucas packed, Jen could only laugh as she helped him repack the other one. She checked with him for things that he might have forgotten and a little over an hour later they were finished.
Once they were done Lucas carried the suitcases downstairs and went to the garage to put them in one of his cars. Since he left by himself, Jen had remained in the house standing below the stairs waiting for him to return. She was expecting h.e.l.len to be around but she was currently nowhere to be seen.
However, something happened that Jen would have never even dreamed of happening. In fact, if anyone had told her that she was going to experience this when she woke in the morning she would have laughed in their faces and called them delusional.
As Jen heard footsteps coming from up the stairs, she couldn"t help but turn around to check who it was. She could only see the long legs covered in denim before the torso. Up to this point, she was still okay, but once the other person"s face was exposed, her eyes unconsciously widened.
The sight that greeted left her rooted on the spot and even losing the ability to speak, her mouth just hung open in stunned amazement.
