Love Is So Sweet
Chapter 7 - Help
The following day, Lisa continued to do some more research about how to improve the quality of her work. The time for her to post the first chapter of her new novel was closing in, and she wanted to at least write some sort of improvements within it.
After rereading her work a few more times, she really couldn't understand what made the conversations robotic. But all this research wasn't a total waste of time since after reading some comments about other romance novels, Lisa figured out that readers liked lovey-dovey moments. She noticed that in every online novel she read, that in the comment sections, most people loved seeing the lead couple in a lovey-dovey situation.
This was a good piece of information but unfortunately, Lisa had no idea what events make a lovey-dovey scene. In truth, her novel did have some lovey-dovey scenes but Lisa was unaware of them since she didn't really understand much about the scene and simply took a scene she found that was popular in numerous romance movies and added it into her novel.
Due to some incidents in her past, Lisa has zero experience in dealing with the opposite gender. Actually, she had no experience with anything to do with relationships. After that certain incident in the past she had difficulty in making friends, she who used to be energetic and active, became an introvert. So she had no idea about scenes that could make one's heart race.
Jun also noticed this defect in her novel but decided not to say anything since he already said too much. Still, now that Lisa had a way to improve her work she wanted to study lovey-dovey situations.
She checked online about the meaning of lovey-dovey. If two people in a romantic relationship are lovey-dovey, they show their love for each other in public by touching each other and saying loving things.
After reading the basic definition of the word, she started to search for more information. Once she gained a bit more information, Lisa figured that she wouldn't be able to fully understand it. Even though she can kinda understand the meaning of the word, she couldn't truly understand it and write about it. So she needed help from someone that actually experienced it and understood it.
Lisa took out her phone and called someone.
"Lisa, what is it?" Karla asked upon picking up the phone.
"Karla I need your help in researching about lovey-dovey situations."
"Huh?" Karla answered confused as to what Lisa was talking about. Lisa then proceeded to tell Karla about her hardships in understanding the subject.
"Sorry Lisa, right now I'm helping the new writer they ȧssigned to me. If you really need help, don't you have someone else to talk to?"
"You do remember that I only have you as a friend," Lisa responded, in which she heard Karla sighing.
"Don't you remember, they ȧssigned a new editor for you. Why don't you ask for his help? Oh, sorry Lisa I gotta go."
"Wa-" Lisa wasn't able to finish speaking as Karla already ended the call. After the call ended the whole place was silent and you could only hear Mia's purring. After a short pause, Lisa looked at one of the few numbers stored in her phone, the name Tang Jun was seen.
'Should I call him? Is it really appropriate for me to ask for help after acting rudely to him last night? Though he is my new editor... Also if I don't call him there's no one else that could help me.'
Lisa was wrestling with the idea of her asking for help with a guy she just met. Even though it was Jun's job to help her with some of her difficulties in writing, Lisa still felt a bit uncomfortable asking a man for help. On the other hand, if she doesn't ask for help, her story wouldn't be able to improve. With her story on the line, Lisa decided to have courage and gave Jun a call.
...
Jun was reading some emails at home while drinking coffee when he received a call. He was surprised to see who was calling him, still, he answered it immediately.
"Hello, Ms. Lisa it's nice to hear from you," Jun answered with an upbeat tone.
"..."
"Ms. Lisa?"
"..."
"Ms. Lisa are you there? Can you hear me? Is there something happening? Are you alright? Should I call the police." When Lisa heard the word police, she finally answered.
"I'm here, sorry about the long pause." Hearing Lisa's voice Jun sighed in relief. He's been watching too many action movies, making him have weird thoughts about the situation.
"It's alright Ms. Lisa, how can I help you today?"
"Um, if it isn't too much to ask, I want you to help me with something," Lisa answered a bit shyly. Even though Jun couldn't see her face he could already imagine Lisa blushing.
"Sure, of course, I will gladly help you. So what do you want me to help you with?" Jun answered happily.
"I..."
"You? What?"
"I want you to help me in making my heart race!" When Jun heard this he almost spat his coffee like in a cartoon because of how shocked he was. Still, he was able to somehow remain cool as he tried to confirm what was just said.
"What do you mean to make your heart race?" Jun calmly asked. Lisa, on the other hand, was already pushed to the edge because of her embarrassment so she just went ahead full throttle without thinking how her words sounded like.
"I mean, I want you to perform lovey-dovey acts with me."
