Jen played around in the pool for a couple of minutes before she voluntarily climbed out. It was like everyone had too much energy, so she decided to go get a couple of drinks at the bar first so she could loosen up a bit since it seemed that everyone else was in a zone that was different from hers.

Jen took a towel from one of the cabinets and draped it over her shoulders as she went to the bar with her hair still dripping wet, leaving a trail of water in her wake as she walked to the bar.

She ordered a gla.s.s of vodka on the rocks and even made the extreme decision of not having a c.o.c.ktail making the bartender look at her twice. Jen sat at the bar stool waiting for her drink and tapped at the bar counter matching the rhythm of the music that was playing on the speakers.

A minute later a drink was placed in front of her. The clear liquid in the tumbler filled with ice and the vapor condensing on the clear gla.s.s made it look even more appetising. Jen picked up the gla.s.s and emptied it in one go before placing it back on the counter.

"Get me another one" Jen said and popped an ice cube in her mouth.

[A/N: Strangely my mouth watered as I wrote this, I am sure I'm not an alcoholic but…]

The bartender nodded and took the gla.s.s away and it was soon replaced with another one. Jen picked up the other gla.s.s and also finished it in one go. She furrowed her eyebrows when she felt her throat get burned once more by the vodka and the strong alcoholic taste.

"Get me one more, no need to take the gla.s.s" Jen said and popped an ice cube in her mouth. It was slightly hot, and she was feeling even warmer after drinking the vodka.

The bartender was worried that she was drinking too fast but at the end of the day he was not hired to worry about people so he made her another drink and placed it in front of her. Jen picked up the tumbler but before she could place it on her lips it was taken away from her.

Lucas looked at her with a frown as if he was reprimanding her for drinking irresponsibly but Jen only gave a bright smile in response.

"Miss Larson, you should take it slow" Lucas said as he held the gla.s.s she was planning to drink from.

"Lucas~" Jen whined and pouted cutely at him.

It was obvious that she had drank too fast and the alcohol was already having an effect on her. Lucas had never seen her like this so he was stunned for a moment and before he recovered, the gla.s.s was already s.n.a.t.c.hed from his hand and emptied by her.

"Jen!" he scolded when he realised how easily he had fallen for her.

" Mmh? I'll take it slow from now on okay?" Jen said and hugged his arm pressing it against her chest. Lucas wrinkled his eyebrows as he looked at her because he found that he could not deny her at all.

"One more gla.s.s" Jen said with a smile and the bartender went to work. She had drank too fast so she was already feeling the effects of the drinks she already had. When the bartender placed her drink on the counter, Lucas took it without hesitation and led her away from the bar area.

Since after that night, Jen had not gotten drunk from hard liquor and would only occasionally indulge herself in wine, and even then, she would not be as recklessly drunk as she was that day he met her at the party.

Since everyone was either in the pool or lounging on the other side, where Lucas had taken her sit would be considered pretty excluded since no one was in their vicinity.

Jen could feel her body get warmer even though she just got out of the pool and there was even a light sheen of sweat on her skin. When she looked at the cold drink in Lucas' hand she unconsciously gulped because she was feeling pretty tempted to drink it

Lucas ended up sitting on one of the available tables with Jen trailing next to him. Instead of sitting on a chair next to his, Jen boldly sat on top of him once he sat down.

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked when Jen sat on top of him. He couldn't stop the nagging feeling he had that he was being taken advantage of. Jen draped her legs on the arm of the chair bringing Lucas' attention to her smooth legs that she blatantly exposed.

"Aren't you being a bit too brazen?" Lucas asked after he managed to draw his gaze away from her long smooth legs.

"Am I?" Jen asked.

"Yes" Lucas answered still distracted.

"If I don't do this with you then who are you expecting that I do this with?" Jen asked as she lifted his chin so he would look at her in the eye.

"Ah~" lucas said in understanding, and that momentary lapse was all it took for Jen to take another drink from the gla.s.s he was holding.

Before he could scold her for being sneaky, his lips were being pried open by Jen and he felt some of the vodka she had drunk being poured into his mouth. He could only swallow it as she did not give him the chance to protest as she overbearingly plunged her own tongue into his mouth.

The towel that was draped over her shoulders fell onto the arm rest she was leaning on but she did not let up and continued kissing Lucas enthusiastically.

If they were not in a public area, Jen would not have hesitated to do the deed with him right then and there but even as they were engaged in such an intense make out session she could still hear how everyone was having fun with each other not too far away from them.
