Title: Jealousy. Can we help?
Part 4/8
That evening as Matthew and Charlie went into the living room to watch the trivia show, Jean pulled Lucien back and towards the studio. He gave her a mischievous smile. She closed the door quietly behind them.
"I hate to disappoint you but it's not as exciting as you think it is." Jean settled herself on the couch patting the space next to her.
"That okay. Anytime spent with you is time well spent." Lucien pulled into his side.
"You were right," Jean paused as he raised an eyebrow at her. "Alice is jealous."
"Oh?"
"I ran into her outside the station this afternoon. She was very… off. It's got to be what you said. I haven't seen her in few weeks now for to be so brisk with me." Jean huffed. She had enough with other people saying thing, now Alice seemed to be dishing it out too.
Lucien sat there holding her against him. He knew running into Alice today hurt her. He couldn't wait for them to be married, then maybe everyone would stop with the rude comments. "What if we invited her and Rose over to dinner?"
"Sure, but why Rose?"
"By inviting Rose we look less obvious. We can watch how Matthew and Alice interact and from there either give them a push or keep them far a part."
"Friday then? I'll make a roast."
"Sounds perfect. I'll let Charlie know to invite Rose."
"For now I'm done talking about other people." Jean reached up and gently pulled his face down to his.
After a few minutes Lucien shifted them on the couch so he was leaning over her. His hands tugged at her blouse, untucking it from her skirt. Jean moaned lightly when his hand touched her bare skin and pulled him down more.
