Chapter 385: Check up on Her.
"Do I know her?" Lucas asked him as he brought out the sliced bread from the refrigerator.
"Maybe, but I don''t think I should tell you who it is," Jason answered as he drunk his beer. Lucas looked at him with narrowed eyes but did not probe any further. If his brother wanted to keep her to himself, then he wouldn''t push him.
"Don''t waste too much time, it''s okay if it doesn''t work outter, but you will regret it if you don''t even try to do anything in the first ce," Lucas advised.
"I''ll think about it," Jason said as he nodded.
"I didn''t think much when I was pursuing Jen, don''t think for too long," Lucas told him.
"Okay, maybe she''ll be my date by the time you are getting married," Jason said and smile, a dimple appearing on his left cheek.
"Good luck," Lucas said and ced a pile of sandwiches in front of Jason. Jason picked one up and happily bit into it. It had been so long since he had eaten carbohydrates he had already eaten his fill earlier, but he still couldn''t resist indulging himself some more.
Lucas watched Jason eat the sandwiches with relish and shook his head as he smiled. He knew that they all had to work hard to fatten him up once more.
"Should I make more for you?" Lucas asked as he continued to make more sandwiches. He could already see that Jason would be able to finish the te of sandwiches he had ced in front of him.
"You can make more, it''s really good," Jason said as he finished off his first sandwich. Lucas wordlessly continued to make more sandwiches.
"What brought you to this side?" Lucas asked him after thinking about it for a bit. Jason was rarely ever idle enough toe to this deserted ce.
"James cleared out my schedule for the next two months and told me to get my health in order. If I don''t, he said that I can forget about acting," Jason said while feeling indignant. Lucas smile in approval of his brother''s decision.
It wasn''t like Jason would starve if he did not work, but with how easily bored his brother was, James might find himself with more work than he had when Jason with busy.
"Just don''t do anything that will annoy him, otherwise you''ll be in trouble," Lucas said with augh.
"I already feel lucky that I didn''t get beat up for the stunt I pulled this time," Jason said, not knowing that the one who saved him was Laura who had not only staunched his mother''s tears but also cooled down his temper.
"Just consult him if it''s something that you have to do next time," Lucas had done some research and found out that there were a good number of actors that changed their bodies for the roles they acted in. And even though Jason''s change had not reached the extremes that he had seen from other actors, it is still worrying.
"Lucas, I''m hungry," a tired voice was heard from the back. Lucas lifted his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jen had changed her clothes and didn''te downstairs in the translucent slip that she had been wearing earlier.
"Come, I''ve made some sandwiches," Lucas said as he watched her tie her hair up in a ponytail.
"Oh? Jason is here?" Jen said as her eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Sister inw, you finally woke up," Jason said after he swallowed what he had been chewing.
"Mmmh, I just took a quick nap," Jen said and went to the kitchen to take some water. She had sobered up quite a bit after that nap, and she was feeling a bit dehydrated.
"Here, have one," Lucas said and fed one of the sandwiches into her mouth.
"Thank you," she mumbled with a full mouth.
"I heard you already finished filming," Jen said after she swallowed her food.
"I finished yesterday, I''m taking a break now," Jason exined.
"I''ve really been enjoying it. When we were on vacation, I used to watch it with Lucas," Jen said, her voice tinged with excitement.
"You watched it?" Jason asked, looking at Lucas, and Lucas nodded with pursed lips. Jason was happy when he heard this, his brothers never admitted to watching his works.
"Did you enjoy it?" he asked again. Lucas looked at how excited his brother looked and became hesitant to rain on his parade, so he nodded. It was an honest response, it was quite entertaining.
"You are an excellent actor, I even forgot that you were Jason and became immersed in your character," Jenplimented naturally. Lucas looked at her and wondered if that was how fans worked.
Maybe he should get himself a couple of them so he doesn''t always think about when the weekend woulde, so he didn''t have to go to the office.
"Thank you," Jason said with a wide smile. Even his grey eyes curved, and his dimple made an appearance.
"No no no, thank you, you really did us a service," Jen said with a radiant smile. Lucas was now seriously considering whether he should collect a group of fans.
"I can only do it because of your support," Jason said with a cheerfulugh. Before Jen said anything else, Lucas stuffed another sandwich in her mouth. It was a bit hard to see your girlfriend fangirl over someone else.
"Eat," Lucas said with a barely visible pout, and Jenughed at him.
"How childish," she said as she chewed on the delicious sandwich. As she did so, she finally noticed that he finished a whole loaf making sandwiches.
"Were you craving them that much?" Jen asked him as she looked at the three tes that were stacked with sandwiches.
"He was, I offered to cook something else, and he said he wasn''t hungry, but asked me to make more," Lucas said as he went to sit next to his brother.
Jen looked at the two brothers who were eating together. Even the way they chewed their food was simr. Combined with how simr they looked, except for the slimmer face that Jason was now sporting, it was really interesting to watch.
Jen leaned on the kitchen counter and rested her chin on her hand as she watched the two brothers. Lucas raised his eyebrows in question when he noticed that she was staring at them. She shook her head and finished off her sandwich.
"What''s going to be your next project? Another acting gig? Or a concert?" Jen asked as she poured herself a ss of juice.
"I don''t know yet, I''ll be free until further notice," Jason said in a good mood.
"Oh, well, let me leave you two to talking, I''m going to watch a movie," Jen said and took the te that had the least number of sandwiches and left the kitchen to go to the little theatre.
"What is it?" Lucas asked when he noticed that Jason was staring at him.
"I''m a bit, envious," Jason said as he pursed his lips.
"So hurry up and don''t take too long ''thinking'' about whether you really want to pursue that girl," Lucas said with a proud smile.
"Mmmh, what are you going to do once you leave?" Jason asked him with worry. He was rooting for his little brother''s rtionship and did not want anything to happen that might put it in jeopardy. His brother had be happier and healthier ever since he met his girlfriend, so it was obvious that she was very good for him.
"To be honest, I don''t know," Lucas answered as he rubbed his face with his hand.
"Don''t get too preupied and forget about her," Jason warned.
"That won''t happen," Lucas said with certainty.
"I''ll being to visit when I can. Maybe I can convince her toe over there whenever she can as well," Lucas said with a nk expression.
"That could work. I don''t know how many opportunities you will get toe back with the intensive course you chosebined with the fact that you are going to be leading the branchpany over there," Jason said thoughtfully.
He had gone to the same university as well, and the course itself was difficult enough to juggle with for normal people. He knew that it won''t be as stressful for Lucas because he had no problem understanding material in ss and wouldn''t need to spend too much time studying.
It is just the time it would take to catch up with assignments and also go to work that would upy him a lot.
"Can you check up on her asionally? I''ll tell her to look for any of you when she''s in trouble. I''ll feel more reassured that way," Lucas said to him.
"I will don''t worry about it," Jason said and patted Lucas'' shoulder.
"I know she has her girlfriends, but still" Lucas left his sentence hanging and even though Jason does not really understand his anxiety about leaving a grown woman alone while he went to study, he did not want to undermine it.
"I''ll check on her regrly, and call her out whenever I''m free, okay? Don''t worry too much about it," Jason said to Lucas.
"Thank you," Lucas said and looked at his brother.
Jen was happily eating her sandwiches as she watched andedy on therge screen without a care in the world.
