Chương 247: His First Love.

Nicklaus stared at Arissa hard and that made her uncomfortable that she had to look away. 

Nicklaus pinched her cheek. Not his usual soft pinches but this time harder as if teaching her a lesson. 

Arissa yelped in surprise, "What was that for?" she glared at him. 

"For always holding back the things in your mind." he smiled harmlessly at the face of her glare. 

Arissa rubbed on the spot he pinched, "I don't want to say anything," she countered. She refuses to be this open to him. 

Nicklaus clicked his tongue, "Lies," he teased her, "It's written all over your face you have words to say," 

Arissa thinned her lips and before she knew it, she burst into a long laugh, and Nicklaus stayed still smiling at her. He was proud of himself for making it possible for her to laugh this way before him even if he don't know why she laughs. 

"So what do I want to say?" she asked in between her laugh.
