Chapter 13 - Just a minute (1/2)

On the following day, just like the day before Lucas arrived at Jen's house and was waiting outside. Jen was still getting ready when her phone started ringing. She picked it up as she was drying her hair.

”Hello?”

”Hey, are you ready yet?” Lucas asked

”You're here already?” Jen asked feeling flustered, wasn't coming an hour before a bit too much? the car ride would only take five minutes.

”Yeah, I'm waiting outside,” Lucas said calmly. He heard Jen sigh through the phone which made him smile. He knew he was too early, but he was feeling impatient as he wanted to see her.

”Okay, but it's too early right now why don't you come in first?” Jen said helplessly.

”Alright” Lucas replied and hung up his phone. He got out of his car and walked towards the house. Jen had thrown on a bathrobe and went to unlock the front door. She opened it just when he was about to knock.

They both stared at each other for a second before Jen welcomed him inside. Lucas closed the door behind him and watched as Jen continued to towel dry her long hair.

”Have you had breakfast?” Jen asked after got in the house.

”Not yet” Lucas answered while settling himself on the couch.

”I made you a sandwich, have it with some juice, I'll be right back,” Jen said as she rushed back into her room while she was still drying her hair.

Lucas watched as she retreated back to her room and obediently went to the kitchen to find the sandwich. Lucas was starting to get used to Jen's food as she was an amazing cook and was further spoiling his already spoiled palate.

He found the sandwich neatly wrapped on the kitchen counter in a small container. He felt happy because this meant that she thought of him as she was making her own breakfast. He opened the refrigerator and took out a box of juice and settle himself at the kitchen counter as he had his breakfast.

He ate slowly as he checked his mail. He replied to the urgent ones and sent Dave some instructions on the things he needed to be arranged for the day.

Lucas was also in the process of moving out his house to live alone because he concluded the last thing he wanted was to live with his boss, besides, if he was living alone Jen would be able to stay over at his place. Before he knew it he had already spaced out and was imagining how it would be if she came to stay over.
