Page 162 of His Sunshine Baby

“Who is with you?”

“That’s none of your business, Nate.”

What, is he making this about Levi again, seriously, right now? I hear him sigh.

“It’s… Boyan wants to come over.”

Oh. Not what I thought then, well, I think Boyan is not to blame, but Nora needs some time away from the Blood Moon to think. Maybe not now, but at least tomorrow morning, when she feels better.

“Nora?” I call to her.

She was watching me all this time, but Daniel turns his head to me too.

“Yes?”

“Bobo wants to come and see you tomorrow morning... Is that okay?”

She hesitates for a while, but in the meantime, Daniel’s eyes are literally shining. To think he was mad at him an hour ago. I can’t believe him. He’s so childish at times! Finally, Nora nods.

“She said yes.”

“Alright, let’s do that then,” says Nate, with a bit of relief in his voice.

“Okay.”

He hesitates a while, and I wonder if I should hang up.

“Elena, you… Are you sure you’re fine?”

I immediately turn red. Why is he saying that? Did he sense something? He couldn’t tell just from my voice over the phone, right? I get really nervous. Is he just asking to be polite? Or does he suspect something? Boyan wouldn’t have told him, right? And he didn’t seem to notice anything at the fight either!

“Yes, I’m fine, I told you. Good night, Nathaniel.”

I hang up a bit quickly and let out a big sigh. Damn. Just five minutes on the phone and I’m such a mess already.

“Are you okay, babe?”

“I am,” I reply to Danny, “Anyway, Nora is the one to be worried about.”

I can’t have too much attention on me right now, and I want to focus on Nora anyway. At least Nate didn’t have the guts to get engaged to some other bitch.

“Well, she should be happy, Boyan is coming forher.”

“Oh, stop being a baby, Danny! Bobo is worried about Nora, as a friend! Now drop the jealousy act or, baby or not, I’m really kicking your scrawny ass!”

Nora suddenly looks at us with her eyes wide open.

“So, you’re Bobo’s mysterious boyfriend!”

Oh, right, she probably had no idea about those two until now. Daniel immediately turns red as a beet while I chuckle.

“Bobo’s mysterious boyfriend, what do you have to say for yourself?”

“I knew it! I always saw him texting someone, so I knew he had a partner…”

Danny’s embarrassed face is priceless. He pretends to be twice as focused on Nora’s feet, but his ears are red, very, very red right now.

“W-we need to disinfect t-this quickly, and–”
