THE MYSTERIOUS PEN

Chapter 3: Unexpected Meeting

Shawn Connor and Melo Vera keeps on asking Lourenz when they'll appear on the short film. Lourenz then told them that they'll have an important role. But what Lourenz really means by that is an "Interesting" role.

Nardo Osmeña and Alfonso Caoile told Lourenz if they could buy something to eat first since they're starving. Lourenz then let them and told the other members to go grab something to eat. The other members went ahead while Leslie Isle stayed with Lourenz Calcium.

Leslie then can't stop thinking about what Lourenz Calcium told her. Lourenz noticed that Leslie can't concentrate and keeps on blushing the whole time.

"Hey come on Leslie this is just an activity don't sweat it it's gonna be fine." Lourenz then holds Leslie in her shoulders and tells her to look at him in the eyes. Then Lourenz told her to say this words to him.

"I want you to tell me that it's gonna be okay tell me."

"I...It....It's go...n...na be o...okay...." Leslie said

Lourenz then isn't satisfied "NO!!! Not like that what are you? Going to a funeral or something not like that say it with a vengeance!" Lourenz said to her.

"I'm sorry... I'm just not used to be in this type of activity." Leslie said

Lourenz then got mad and held Leslie's cheeks.

"If you're not gonna do this it's alright but it's up to you if you wanna stay like this forever or you're gonna get out from you're comfort zone. Being shy is okay but you can't stay that way forever this is just an activity there's no personal stuff in this. I understand that you're shy and you haven't been in this type of stuff before. I was like this too in the past but that was in the past I realized that I won't be able to achieve anything if I'm gonna be like this forever. So I told myself that from this day on I will no longer be afraid whatever thing you throw at me I'll face and overcome it by myself to be stronger and be a better version of myself. Because I'm tired of being afraid to step up my game in the past I'm so shy too afraid to try new things but not anymore."

Leslie got no words to say after hearing what Lourenz just told her she was left speechless.

Leslie bows down her head and says "I.... I..... I'm sorry...". Then suddenly tears are slowly coming out of her eyes.

Lourenz noticed her tears "Hey... Leslie?! Come on what's wrong don't cry... Its okay, its alright bro."

Lourenz Calcium then holds Leslie's cheeks and tells her to look at him again and trying to cheer her up. Leslie then does looked up to him and Lourenz was shocked.

As Lourenz was telling Leslie to look up. "Come on please Leslie look at me." Leslie then looks up at him slowly. Leslie sobs and slowly looks up at Lourenz while tears are still flowing through her eyes. Lourenz was shocked to find out that Leslie was not crying at all. Leslie was smiling while crying her eyes are sad but at the same time has that grateful facial expression.

"S...surprise! Hahaha *Sobs* hehe I'm not crying I'm happy." Leslie said to Lourenz after Lourenz told her to look at him.

"Hahaha I see you got me there girl hahaha I almost had a heart attack. Why are you happy though?" Lourenz asked her then removes his hands to Leslie's cheeks.

"Why am I happy you asked?" Leslie says.

"Yes?... Why?.... Why are you happy I really thought you were crying because you were sad." Lourenz responds.

"No... No... Yes... I got to admit I am crying but not because I am sad but I am happy... And that's because of...." Leslie leaves Lourenz hanging to let him guess what she's about to say.
