Because of Jen's loving care, Lucas' bruise had faded faster than expected. Even he was surprised by how quickly the bruise was fading away. Jen would make sure to apply the ointment twice a day and she would put a cold compress on his nose every morning and night after his shower before his daily dosage of ointment.

He cooperated because Jen would let him put his head on her lap as she did this, so he did not complain. In fact, he wished his bruise stayed a bit longer because he had come to enjoy those moments a lot.

"It's healed up quite a lot, I think you can go to work tomorrow," Jen said as she applied a thin layer of ointment on his nose.

Lucas grunted in acknowledgement but kept his eyes closed and stayed still as she carefully spread the cream on his skin.

"Don't go back to sleep once I leave, you should have your breakfast" Jen nagged at him, but he really didn't mind it and even smiled in response

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jen asked as she paused with her application.

"I'll listen to you. I'll drop you off at your university then I'll have breakfast once I'm back home" Lucas said as he lazily opened his eyes.

"Why are you dropping me off?"Jen asked as she packed everything into the first aid kit.

"I haven't done it in so long. I should do it when I can" Lucas said and blinked his eyes at her making her smile in response.

"Fine, I won't argue with you on this one," Jen said as she stroked his hair.

"Mmh, I'll also come to pick you up," Lucas said as he got up from her lap so she could go gather her materials.

"I'll leave in ten minutes," Jen said also standing up from the bed. Lucas stretched his arms over his head and Jen stopped to watch his muscles flex. It was a sight that she did not think she would ever get tired of.

"You should wipe your drool" Lucas teased but Jen had already reached out to wipe the side of her mouth before she glared at him making him laugh.

"Do you like this that much?" Lucas asked. as he gestured at his body"Mmh. I can't take my eyes off you" Jen said with a straight face.

"Then I should start working out again," Lucas said as he looked at his disappearing abs.

"Maybe I fed you too much?" Jen said as she laughed at him.

"We can get fat together," Lucas said goodnaturedly.

"I'll pass. I'm going to get ready" Jen said before she gave him another once over and left the bedroom.

Not long afterwards Jen was in Lucas' BMW and was being driven to her university. She put on some music as it was too silent in the car and she hummed in tune as Lucas continued to drive.

"What time will you leave today?" Lucas asked Jen.

"I can't say, I might go to the library. But I'll text you when I want to leave so don't worry about it" Jen said as she looked at Lucas who was wearing a sleeveless hoodie and a pair of jeans.

She smiled when she saw the muscles on his arms flex with his movements before she turned away to look outside the window in fear that he will probably think she is a pervert.

It did not take long for them to arrive on campus. Since Lucas was going to be leaving anyway, he did not bother with going to drop her off at the parking lot but instead drove her to the front of her faculty building.

"Aren't you being too high profile?" Jen asked when she noticed what he was doing.

"If I dropped you off so far away, you'd have to walk all the way there," Lucas said as he stopped the car in front of the stairs at the entrance of the building.

Lucas undid his seatbelt and got off the car and as expected, he was being stared at by everyone around the area. However, he did not care.

Unfortunately for him, Jen cared. She had turned to the backseat to quickly collect her things so she did not draw too much attention to herself but it was too late because Lucas opened the car door for her and she looked at him with wide eyes.

"What's the rush?" Lucas asked when he saw that she had her hands full and had even forgotten to remove her seatbelt beforehand. Lucas leaned over and unbuckled her seatbelt before grabbing her bag.

"Should I help you carry this?" Lucas asked as he went to grab the bag she was carrying.

"No, it's not heavy," Jen said and slapped his hands away eliciting a laugh from him.

"Why? Are you embarrassed?" Lucas asked as he leaned against the frame of the car door blocking her way effectively.

"Of course. You have your hood up so no one can see you. Is this why you wanted to bring me to university?" Jen asked not bothering to hide her annoyance.

"What's wrong with sending you to university?" Lucas asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I hope this is not some weird guy thing," Jen said as she rolled her eyes and got out of the car making Lucas take a step back to give her some space to stand on.

"Aren't you going to let me go to class?" Jen asked when she noticed that Lucas did not seem to want to let her pass through.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Lucas asked and pointed at his lips. At that moment, Jen experienced regret.

She wished she would have just left him home and come to school alone. Even though she wished to avoid him, she knew he would not let her off. Especially now that he had spelt out his intentions.

"You could have just done it in the car," Jen said with a frown.

"Well, no one would have seen it" Lucas replied as he put his hands in the front pockets of his hoodie. Jen closed her and eyes and smiled in an attempt to self-hypnotise herself into believing that she was not getting annoyed at all.

Unfortunately for her, Lucas thought that she was just being nervous so he took the reigns and leaned down to kiss her.
