Love Is So Sweet

Chapter 10 - Rejection with a smile



Lisa followed behind Jun distancing herself one foot away from him. She was now a bit wary of him due to the incident in the coffee shop, but aside from that, she wanted to observe him from behind.

Based on her initial impression of him, Jun was the kind of guy that would always stay calm no matter the situation. Also based on what Karla said and what Lisa observed this guy was a good talker and a good listener. Not only that he even has good looks a great body and based on what he said he seems to have a lot of money as well, with all that he must be really popular with the ladies. Basically, this guy walking in front of Lisa was her complete opposite.

As if to prove her point some women passing by would look at Jun and when he notices he would respond by smiling, making some of them blush, others giggle, and others ask for his phone number. This happened eight times as they were walking through the streets. It was like he was a minor celebrity or something.

Even the way he rejects their advances was cool and smooth. Lisa couldn\'t understand what she was seeing, Jun was rejecting a girl but she left with a smile on her face. They would also look at her with a look full of envy.

Lisa tapped on Jun\'s back which made Jun turn around to look at her.

"What is it?" Jun with his gentle smile questioned Lisa.

Lisa took out her notebook and asked. "How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"How were you able to reject those girls who were asking for your number leave without getting your number, and you were even able to make them leave with a smile on their faces?"

"Oh, that, it\'s simple really, I just told them I was with you."

"That can\'t be all there was, right? I may not be good at communication and all matters regarding relationships, but telling them that I was with you, won\'t make them leave with a smile. There must be something more... Please tell me I can use that in my novel!" Lisa got a bit excited when she thought that she could write Jun\'s technique into her novel.

Seeing that excited look Lisa was giving him, Jun wryly smiled. \'This girl really has a one-track mind.\'

"Well, if you want me to tell you, promise me you won\'t get mad. If you promise me that, I\'ll tell you."

"Sure, I promise I won\'t get mad." An immediate answer, that stunned Jun. This girl as long as it\'s about her novel she really is... Passionate.

"Fine, as long as you won\'t get mad. I simply said, that, since I already have you I can no longer look at any other girl. No matter what I do I can only see you. Most of them would answer back with if you\'re really so in love with each other, why are you walking in front of her? I then answer by flashing a smile."

Jun then showed Lisa the smile he gave and continued.

"And then I say, you see I\'m a really jealous person, so I don\'t want anyone to look at my girl, that\'s why I\'m blocking everyone\'s view of her by walking slightly ahead of her. The girls would then look at me in amazement and say, I see... After that, they\'ll ask if they can be my friends, and then I answer I\'m sorry but truth be told you are really beautiful and even as friends I might be tempted to do something wrong. I can\'t do that to my beloved, I hope you understand. After saying that they would say that they were sorry and that they understood. That\'s all I did, satisfied?"

Lisa didn\'t answer back as she was busy writing everything down. After she was done writing down every word Jun said, she looked at him and said, "why would I get mad at you for doing that?"

"Well, I did call you my girl and said all those embarrassing things. I thought that you would get embarrassed again."

"Hmmm, not really, you simply told a white lie to get out of an awkward situation and you did it while thinking of not harming the other party\'s feelings. In my book, there was nothing to get mad about."

"I see..." Hearing what Lisa said, just made Jun even more confused about this lady in front of him. She gets embarrassed by a lot of things, she seems like someone who wants to avoid conversing, but when it comes to her work her personality does a complete three-sixty. Jun just can\'t understand what Lisa considers embarrassing and what\'s not.

"Anyway, thanks for the info, I now have a new line I can use. So let\'s head towards the restaurant you want to go to, so we can get to the park faster. I want to gather as much data I can regarding lovey-dovey scenes."

"Actually we\'re here already." Jun pointed at the shawarma place beside them. He then proceeded to enter the shop and bought a Hummus spread inside a pita bread stuffed with lettuce, tomatoes and tahini sauce. After buying his food, they both headed towards the park.
