You can't say no to this. We were inspired by the same artist and we like the same artwork as our favorite. Janna, it must be fate that I met you. it is love at first sight... or perhaps second sight, it doesn't matter. The point is, I am in love with you and I want you to go out with me."
That time, I looked at Arik like I was looking at a mine.
Without any emotions in my words I responded.
"Too bad for you Mr. Love at first sight, I don't have a heart anymore. My heart died last month and it is not coming back to life."
My words were serious that time but Arik did not realize I was dead serious. He suddenly released his right hand from my shoulder and Pointed at the painting of the half-eating apple beside us.
He suddenly said, "To prove my love for you, I am going to buy this totally horrific and bizarre painting of a half-eating apple."
