"Welcome to the Cupid's playground. "

Jay pushes me futher into the crowd. People push and shove into me as they dance.

I huff and quickly made my way to a bar.

"What can I get yo-" the bartender looks at me with a shocked expression with two cups in his hands.

"Hey Amor. Jay brought me here." I smile at back him," Where's the exit? "

"Jay brought you here?" He clenches his fist together until his knuckles turned white.

"Tessa? Oh so you have met my dad," Jay grins.

He turns to Amor," Dad, I think she's prefect. Can I marry her?"

I furrow my eyebrows, " Haha. Very funny. "

Amor turns to look at me and sigh," Did you make her fall in love with you? "

Jay grins and nods his head excitedly.

"What's going on?" I ask.

Amor looks at me with a worried face," Look, I'm not suppose to tell you this unless either me or Jay here wants to marry you."

"We're cupids!" Jay shouts.

I raise an eyebrow at him,"Cupids arent real dude. Either you're delusional or I'm in some f****d up world."

Amor fakes a gasp and places his right hand over his heart.

"Then why did you dress like one today? With everyone chanting 'cupid' at you," Jay puts his hands up to make his point across.

"Its because I pair people up that best suit each other," I roll my eyes.

"Well, we're the real deal, sweet heart." Amor says in a bored tone.

"Well, I'm leaving. And if you're the dad," I point at Amor," you must have had him," I point to Jay," when you were two and that's not possible."

I shrug and turn to find my way out of this place.

I made through half the day without killing myself.

I've been avoiding Amor and Jay the entire morning after what happened yesterday. I find them creepy.

I look down at my watch and realise that I'm late for my next class. I push pass people to make it to my next class.

I bang into someone," Sorry." I mumble quietly and rush pass whoever, but that someone grabbed my wrist and yank me back.

"Oh its you. Sorry but I'm not buying your whole cupid thing. I think you might have something going wrong in there," I whisper to him and poke Amor's forehead.

"Are you sure about that Babe?" He smirks and tilts his head to meet my shocked one. He inches closer to me making his hot breath fan on my neck, giving me goosebumps.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion, trying to figure out what he was implying.

Just like that, he twirles his finger in the air slowly and a boy behind us lets go of his girlfriend's hands, and turns around to kiss another girl beside him.

My jaw drops open in a shock.

"You...you are a cupid."
