Lucas worked for about two hours before he went to get himself some water to restock the water he had used up in the small fridge in his study. When he walked past the living room he saw that television was on so he a.s.sumed Jen was busy watching something and didn't really check on her.

He went to the storeroom that was in the kitchen and took a carton of water before he made his way back to his study. When pa.s.sed by the living room again, he noticed Jen who was sleeping on the carpeted floor as if the music playing on the speakers lulled her to sleep.

Lucas smiled and put the water down and went to turn off the television before he rolled her over and catching her in his arms so she wouldn't roll on to the floor and carried her.

Jen made herself comfortable and nuzzled her face in his neck and breathed in his clean scent. Jen felt comfortable so she wrapped her arms around his neck and continued to sleep. Lucas was really tempted to chuckle but he only smiled so he wouldn't wake her up. 

He opened the door to her room and placed her on her bed. When he released her and tried to stand straight, Jen would not release his neck and continued to cling on to him. She was deliciously when he had carried her so she was clinging on to her heat source that was disappearing.

Lucas did not force her to release him but instead got in bed with her and she immediately plastered her body against his.

He smiled and gently stroked her hair as she slept. He really wanted to know what had made her so moody before. After she relaxed, Lucas stealthily slipped out of the bed and left the room after leaving a kiss on her forehead.

Lucas went back downstairs to get the carton of water that he had been taking to his study and ended up locking himself in there for another two hours.

Jen woke up after another two hours and found herself laying on the bed. She pursed her lips when she thought of how Lucas carried her to bed and thought that she should probably go and talk to him. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom where she ended up taking another shower.

She put on a tank top and a new pair of shorts and tied her hair into a high ponytail that she braided before she went back downstairs to take the ointments she had bought for Lucas that morning. 

She took her time going to his study as she felt a bit nervous. She did not know whether he was still upset or if he had already calmed down since morning. When she arrived in front of his study she stopped and listened for a while but she could not hear anything.

She took deep breaths to calm herself down and softly knocked on the door before she took a deep breath and walked into the study. She saw that Lucas was fully engrossed in his work and his gaze was completely focussed on his computer screen.

"Should I come back later?" Jen asked when she saw that he was busy.

"Come in," Lucas said as he typed on his keyboard. Jen closed the door to the study and walked further inside. She stood some distance away from his desk with her hands held in front of her body as if she was being reprimanded.

Lucas had not yet looked up and was finis.h.i.+ng up typing up his thoughts. If he stopped, his train of thought would be disrupted and he would forget the suggestions that he was about to give on improving the project proposal that he had received.

After five minutes of typing furiously, he finally looked at Jen and almost laughed in amus.e.m.e.nt. How could she look so pitiful as if she was the one who had been wronged.

"What is it?" Lucas asked and took off the gla.s.ses he wearing and put them on his desk.

"Is it alright if I stay? I can wait till later" Jen said because she felt like she was interfering with his work.

"It's alright," Lucas said but did not smile like normally did this made Jen feel slightly uneasy as she was not used to seeing Lucas so serious.

"I bought you medicine this morning when you were sleeping," Jen said and took a hesitant step forward. Lucas almost stood up to go hug her, how could she look so cute he really almost broke his composure, but he managed to persevere and maintained his stoic expression.

"Mmh," he responded as he continued looking at her with his golden greenish eyes. 

"The pharmacist said I should test it on your skin first before I put it on your face," Jen said as she took another step towards him.

"Go ahead," Lucas said not breaking eye contact with Jen. Jen put the paper bag on the desk and took out the various ointments she bought. Lucas' eyebrows raised when she saw the ridiculous number of ointments she had bought. He wondered if she was being serious or not but did not say anything.

"Can you give me your arm?" Jen asked from the front of his large desk as she bit her lip nervously.

"Do you want me to lay across the desk for you to be able to reach me?" Lucas asked pointedly looking at his abnormally large desk. Jen closed her eyes to compose herself because she had clearly lost her logic, and Lucas looked like he was still upset.

She suddenly missed his dimpled smile and how he always seemed to want to touch her one way or another. She really shouldn't have brushed him off thoughtlessly like she did that morning since he was genuinely worried about her and wasn't showing the superficial concern that strangers would show people.

She knew that even if she wasn't ready to talk about it then, she should have rea.s.sured him rather than blatantly lie that nothing was wrong. She really felt guilty especially now that she was standing in front of him.

She wanted to run into his arms and just apologise for being stubborn and senseless. She had just gotten another reason to hate her period.
