Once arrived down , Jessica walked by Lucas' side towards the exit of the premium plaza hotel. Both glad that she was able to visit and also sad to leave the five stars plus building after staying overnight in one of its luxurious suites.
Once outside Jessica couldn't help but to look around for any potential paparazzi crowd, and she was relieved when no one showed up at the door. It was too early anyway, thank god Lucas woke her up earlier this morning.
A luxurious black Lamborghini was parked outside , Lucas clicked the doors open and gestured to Jessica to step inside, and he shut the door and climbed inside as well.
Jessica wasn't surprised at all, she knew a man like Lucas was filthy rich and she wouldn't find it strange if he drove a brand new car every day. A man like Lucas … his name roll off her tongue so easily . Yet, he was a man only called by his last name in the entire city .

"All right kids, that’s' all for today !" Jessica announced to the kids and so they all put down their brushes and got ready to exit class. Their parents were already waiting for them outside and Rita was at the exit to guide them outside.Jessica's phone rang , she had a look at it and picked it up as soon as she saw Lilly's name on her screen."Hello!""Hi ! Jess, how are you ?""I'm good thanks ! how are you Lilly ?""well I can feel better if we grabbed ice cream and went to chat at your place ""Oh, sweetie, what's wrong ?""Nothing that can't wait, I'll tell you everything when you come out the school""Oh ! so you've arrived already, I'm on my way !""I'll be at the entrance, see you!""See you!" Jessica hung up and quickly got rid of her overall and placed it over the desk, checked the class making sure the kids didn't forget anything behind , then grabbed her bag
"Oh my God! " Jessica couldn’t believe her eyes"I'm taking care of it," Lucas looked at her and back to the road, but Jessica didn't say a word. She was reading the paper still.He looked at her again.''God Jessie put on your seat belt" Lucas said to her while she stood in chock. Not understanding what was happening."Jessie!" he called her except she didn't move"Jessica ?" Lucas called her again, but nothing . Jessica was under chock , her picture was on the front page and the press was at her place, mistaking her for someone she wasn't. she was trying to figure out how did all this happenLucas turned to look at her while focusing back on the road."Damn it Jessie! Put your seat belt on! " he cursed as he turned to her and reached for the seat belt with his hand while maintaining his other hand on the steering wheel.When he did so, Jessica came to her senses and fastened the belt when h
Lucas smiled softly before he grabbed Jessica’s hand in his and brought it to his lips ever so lightly, before he rested it back on his lap. The mere gesture was enough to warm up Jessica's face while Lilly observed what had happened from behind, saving her comments for later–meaning when she gets to be alone with her bestie–and so she looked away .Jessica breathed in slowly then turned her focus to the window, busying herself with the view, but for some unknown reason her hand remained on Lucas’s knee. This somehow reminded her that she wasn’t alone this time. She knew she could rely on Lucas to take care of the situation.He drove for a while before entering an out-of-the-way road. At the end of that road was a private white residence. Jessica couldn’t help but admire the surrounding lawn. There were no doubts about Lucas living in the lap of luxury, hence the private residence.Lucas parked his black Ferrari near the
Jessica let her eyes roam over the room for a while before setting her mind to go downstairs. As she carefully descended the steps, she spotted Lucas’ black car leaving the domain from the immense glass windows hugging the staircase.And the phone in her hand buzzed. She checked it out and read the textKind reminder:Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Lucas.A smile drawn on her face she walked over to the entrance hall. To meet her best friend’s worried eyes. Said best friend, narrowed her eyes in suspicion as Jessica approached her“What was that all about, what happened?”She inquired impatiently.Jessica looked at the body building that was Emilio, standing far in the corner–far enough not to hear them speaking– but still wanted to have some privacy with
Jessica carefully descended the stairs only to meet Lucas's wide smile and his eyes following every last step as he offered her his hand to grab when she arrived at his level“Evening, Miss Rose” Lucas said with his dazzling smile as he secured Jessica's hand in his"Good evening" she said before they walked towards the living room his perfume bringing back memories of their first encounter, Jessica pushed the thought to the back of her head as she walked silently beside him .Lucas stepped in the middle of the room then turned to face her. Without her stilettos Jessica had to tilt her head up to be able to look at him. His dark deep eyes looking intently into hers, he grabbed both her hands in his absently caressing her knuckles."Allow me to apologize for my tardiness, I hope you forgive me" He seemed to whisper softly as his voice was only audible to Jessica."I am well awa
Lucas then walked to the living space and after few seconds Jessica could hear some oldies French music playing in the back and her face lighten up instantly.Jessica was in love with oldies vibes, it made her disconnect from the world of constant movement and chaos that was New York –the city that never sleeps–also she was in love with the city of Paris.It was like Lucas has granted her a moment of guiltless pleasure.The man with the cooking skills made his appearance in the kitchen again under the charmed sight of his host.After two glasses of wine Jessica was grinning and humming with the song that was playing. Seeing while Lucas was grabbing the plates she hastily took them from his hands and set them on the counter. She’s been watching him cook with anticipation the whole time downing the wine to keep her hunger at bay.“We’re eating in the dining room” he observed“Here is perfectly fi
“What’s your favorite meal?” Lucas asked resting his fork on the plate and taking a sip of his glass.“I thought you knew already?” He raised his brows in surprise, Jessica chuckled lightly, as she assumed he knew, but it seemed to her that he didn’t.“Do I?”“The only recipe you said you knew how to cook” she replied all the more amused at his frown“Lasagnas it is then, well…”“Well, I’m sure you know how to do many other things” Jessica nearly purred, putting the last bite in her mouth and took–all the time in the world– to taste it. At this point the alcohol started to show on her and Lucas knew it but he didn’t seem to mind. “I’ll have someone shop for groceries by tomorrow” was his neutral response.Jessica’s lips stretched to a wide smile. She knew she was acting weird due
“Good morning to you too” his luscious lips curled into a satisfied smile.Lucas doesn’t miss a beat and sets a plate with eggs and bacon in front of Jessica who digs in her plate right away.She would have something quick in the morning especially if she had a long night out and little sleep, but most of the times she took the time to cook herself a decent meal especially in the morning since she had to skip lunch sometimes as well.“You’re spoiling me” she said“I just happen to like breakfasts” he says, eyes on his own plate“Mm-hum” Jessica nodded, taking another bite.“Do you have any plans for tonight?”“None that I know of” Jessica shrugged, her mouth stuffed as she struggled to speak“Perfect, we’re going to Paris Tonight” Lucas announced. Jessica almost choked on what she was eating“What?” she let out flabbergasted“You heard me the first time, I’ll have Annabelle take you shopping for clothes and stuff you
