Chapter 305: I might go crazy


    Lucas picked up his phone but did not call Jen and instead left his room to go downstairs. He was towel drying his hair as he walked towards the phone that was ced on the wall and called the reception desk so they can send dinner over.


    The receptionist picked up the phone almost immediately because she could see where the call wasing from. Lucas calmly ordered food for himself and Jen and asked the receptionist to put it on his tab. He didn''t unnecessarily linger with the call and quickly hung up.


    As he walked to the kitchen while absent-mindedly drying his hair, he heard the door unlock and open. He raised his eyebrows in surprise as he was not expecting Jen toe home untilter. Jen walked into the house and ced all her things on one of the living room couches and went to the kitchen as she heard movement from there.


    Lucas was making himself a cup of tea when he felt her presence behind him. Jen looked at his broad and naked back and wondered why he was walking around half-naked when the house wasn''t even properly heated yet.


    "You''re back already?" Lucas asked as he turned around with the steaming cup of tea in his hands. Jen nodded as she looked at him, or rather his bare torso.


    "I thought you woulde backter," Lucas said as he gave her his tea and started making another cup. Jen didn''t refuse the tea as she had been feeling cold since she left the library on campus.


    "I was, but I couldn''t focus at all," Jen said and took a small sip of the warm tea. Lucas momentarily paused his actions and had to do his best not tough. It looked like they both experienced something simr.


    "Is that so?" Lucas asked as he continued making his tea.


    "Mmh, I''ve been distracted all day because of a certain someone," Jenined. Lucas couldn''t help but smile from happiness. He was d that he was not the only one whose day ended up being unproductive.


    Lucas finished making his cup of tea and turned around once more to look at Jen. He ced his cup on the kitchen counter and beckoned for her toe closer to him.


    Jen took a step forward and briefly hesitated before continuing to go closer to him. Lucas smiled at her nervous actions and took the cup she was holding from her hands and ced it next to his. He then held her hand and pulled her closer to him so their bodies were pressed against each other.


    "Was I the reason for your distraction?" Lucas asked as he used one of his hands to y with her long hair. Jen avoided his gaze after he asked her the question, but she still nodded in affirmation.


    "Look at me, Jen," Lucas said as he used his index finger to lift her chin so she would look at him. Jen looked at his face and felt her face grow warmer. He looked very serious, and he held a very intense look in his eyes.


    "I was not joking this morning," Lucas said as he used his thumb to stroke her warm cheek. Her reaction tempted him to tease her,but he felt that he needed to work on what he had told her that morning first.


    "Lucas, I don''t know what to say," Jen responded honestly. She was at a loss for words and wasn''t sure how she could respond appropriately to what he had told her that morning.


    "You don''t have to say anything. I want you to be aware of my intentions towards you, even if I end up marrying you years from now, I want you to know that that is what I want for us," Lucas said as he gazed deep into her eyes as if he was trying to read her mind.


    Jen, however, was speechless. She was not sure about how she was supposed to respond and all she could think about is how it was too early to have this conversation.


    "I um-"Jen started to say, but she got interrupted by Lucas.


    "Shh, you don''t have to say anything," Lucas said as he used his thumb to block her lips. Jen felt her eyes sting,but she didn''t think she could look away from Lucas, or stop the tears froming out. She felt as though her feelings for Lucas had reached the point of overflowing, and she was bing overwhelmed by them.


    "Lucas I-"Jen wanted to say but was interrupted again when Lucas bent down and kissed her lips. His heart was feeling warm just from how she had looked at him. She did not have to say anything for him to know what she wanted to tell him. He saw it clearlyfrom the way she had looked at him.


    Jen felt weak-kneed and since Lucas wasn''t wearing any clothes, she had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck so she can maintain some bnce. Lucas was kissing her like he wanted to swallow her whole. One of his hands was holding the back of her head while the other one was tightly wrapped around her waist.


    Jen was panting from breathlessness and excitement, leaving her mouth open for Lucas to plunder. Lucas nipped at her bottom lip and used his tongue to caress it as if he was soothing it. Jen responded by using her tongue to caress the roof of his mouth, which made the kiss even more intense.


    It was not long before Lucas could taste some saltiness, and he released her for fear that he might have gotten carried away and hurt her by ident.


    "Are you okay?" Lucas asked as he used his thumbs to wipe away the tears on her face. Jen blinked her brown watery eyes at him and he felt like his heart skipped a beat.


    "I love you, Lucas, I love you so much I think I might go crazy," Jen said in response, and at that moment, Lucas felt that he might also go crazy from happiness.
