Chương 58: I love sleeping with you!

Jen, unfortunately, fell asleep on the way to Lucas' place so the car ride was really quiet with the exception of the soft music that was playing in the speakers of the car.

He checked on her when they stopped on traffic lights and covered her with his jacket before repeatedly adjusting her position since she always ended up in awkward positions that looked painful.

They finally arrived in the underground parking of the hotel and Lucas sat for a while thinking about how he should handle this situation. He opened his car door and got off and went to open the door on Jen's side.

He put one of his hands under her knees and the other one behind her back, but before he lifted her off the car seat, her eyes opened. Lucas' eyes met hers at that moment. Jen couldn't help but feel awkward as they looked at each other for a couple of seconds.

"You can let me go now," Jen said as she gestured at his hands.

Lucas lifted her up anyways which startled her and she ended up wrapping her hands on the back of her neck so she could feel balanced. Although she felt pretty secure, she doesn't remember the last time she had been princess carried like this so she was feeling awkward.

She lightly hit his chest with one of her hands while asking him to put her down. Lucas couldn't help but be amused by how shy she looked. She didn't even dare to look at his face from her embarrassment.

"Were you pretending to sleep?" Lucas asked her.

"N-no" Jen replied. She had started waking up when he opened her door because the temperature changed suddenly but before she could do anything he was already trying to carry her.

"Really?" Lucas asked still not making any movements on letting her down.

"Really Lucas now putt me down" Jen repeated. She had just woken up so her voice sounded very different. In fact, she sounded like she didn't want him to release her at all.

"Are you asking me to let you go or do you want me to keep holding on to you? Cause you really don't sound like you want me to let you go right now" Lucas said.

Jen turned her head to look at him when she heard what he said. 'When did he hear her say that she wanted him to keep holding on to her?'

"You're finally looking at me" Lucas commented before giving her a short kiss and releasing her. She stood next to the car feeling slightly daze from her sleep and Being suddenly released like that.

"It's good you woke up, you saved me another trip to come to pick up your bags," Lucas said as he closed the door to the trunk of the car. He carried her bags before walking towards the elevator together. Since the elevator was exclusive they did not have to wait for it.

As the two of them got in and Lucas scanned his print the elevator started ascending towards their floor. As they stood inside waiting Jen leaned against Lucas and rested her head against his chest, she was feeling very sleepy and he was pretty firm.

In case she did actually sleep while standing up she knew he wouldn't let her fall. Soon enough they heard the familiar sound of the elevator opening. Jen got off the elevator first and stood in front of Lucas' door waiting for him to open it.

"Didn't I give you the key to access the house?" Lucas asked as he put his finger on the scanner. They heard the locks release and Lucas opened the door.

"I forgot to bring it with me since I was in a rush, besides, we came together so it really isn't a problem," Jen said as she made her way inside his house.

Lucas thought about what she said and had to admit that she was right. However with her current situation if she didn't have a place to go to when the stalker came for her, or if she couldn't access his house because she was not able to grab the card then it would be dangerous.

Lucas didn't say anything but he knew that he should have her prints registered so she can access his home too. Jen waited for Lucas to who seemed to be idling away at the entrance patiently so that she could go sleep. She wanted to sit on one of the comfortable sofas but she knew she would dose off only to be woken up with Lucas trying to carry her again.

"Baby hurry up, I'm so sleepy" Jen whined while she rubbed her eyes.

"Okay let's go," Lucas said as he was done arranging the shoes at the entrance.

He passed a pair of slippers to Jen who was barefoot on the tiled floor. She obediently wore them and followed him upstairs. Lucas opened his bedroom door and went inside. He took her bags to the walk-in closet but when he came out, he saw her standing on the threshold not going inside.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked as he saw her acting weird.

"Actually Lucas, Do you think it is okay that we keep sleeping together like this?" Jen asked.

She was reluctant because she had started getting used to sleeping with him holding her she had finally adjusted to going back to sleep without him in her bed just two days ago and here she was again.

"I enjoy sleeping with you in my arms," Lucas said as he pulled her in for a hug.

"Do I make you uncomfortable?" Lucas asked as he pulled away slightly so he could look at her face.

[A/N: You are far off the mark, it seems like you make her too comfortable~].

"No that's not it, I just, it's just that-"Jen said trying to explain but not knowing how to start.

"It's alright, I don't have the other room prepared today, you can take the bed I'll just sleep on the couch," Lucas said when he saw that Jen was struggling to explain.

He understood and wasn't resentful, although he would have preferred if she felt comfortable enough to tell him sooner as she must have had a hard time adjusting to having someone else sleep in her bed.

"Hey! I love sleeping with you!" Jen half yelled when she saw that Lucas was going overboard with the whole issue.
