210 Forgive me!

Melanie blinked her eyes before closing them, and when she opened them, her black eyes reflected Simon's reflection in them. His words had caught her off guard, and she used both her hands and pushed him so that he could get away from her. 

"I think it would be better for you to stop your jokes unless you want to find yourself with a wooden stake pierced through your heart," she warned him with her eyebrows furrowing while she stared at him. 

Simon blinked back at her, his head tilting to the side, and he said, "Joke? Who is joking? I am being serious. Fall for me now." 

At Simon's words, Melanie rolled her eyes, and she asked him, "Did you hit your head somewhere while on your way here?"

"No, I was struck by the cupid," grinned Simon.
