Oh my gosh!
“So, you’re Bobo’s mysterious boyfriend!” I exclaim.
“Okay, it’s time you girls both get to bed,” he says, blushing.
The next morning, I wake up with a very annoying headache. I’m a bit disoriented, and for a while, I have no idea where I am. Until I remember about last night. The party.
I wish I had forgotten a bit longer. I get up. Oh, right, Daniel gave me his bed. Their apartment only has two tiny bedrooms, so he slept on the couch. I walk into the main room, but it seems like I’m the last one up. Elena is curled up on the sofa, and Daniel is busy making hot chocolates behind the kitchen counter. It’s still pouring outside, and so dark I can’t tell how late it is.
“Good morning, cousin,” she says with a smile.
I can’t help but smile when I hear that. It does sound good... I sit on the couch with my cousin, and Daniel brings us the cups.
“So, everyone decided to wake up early,” sighs Daniel. “What is the program for today, ladies?”
“Waiting for Bobo, for now,” says Elena. “And I’m not going anywhere with this rain and this hellish nausea.”
“...How is the baby?” I ask.
She smiles. “Fine, thank you. I think...”
Before she can finish her sentence, the doorbell rings. She smiles at Daniel, who is slightly blushing. He rolls his eyes and gets up to go open the door. Bobo appears,carrying a little paper bag that smells terribly good. Daniel, still blushing, tries to avoid looking at him in the eyes. Still, Bobo grabs him around the shoulders anyway and kisses his forehead. Oh, my Goddess, Daniel is so red, it’s like his hair is about to change color, too.
“S... stop it. Just... come in. What’s with the ba...bag?”
Next to me, Elena laughs behind her cup. “I never see Daniel stutter like this, unless Bobo is there. Never. It’s so cute,” she whispers to me.
Indeed, it’s too cute and funny to watch. Bobo’s eyes are fixated on his beloved with a little smile, while Daniel is clumsily trying to ignore him. However, he’s red like a tomato, and his eyes blinking way too many times. He goes to the kitchen, but still stumbles halfway. I can’t help but chuckle, too. I didn’t know there was someone who could be worse than me around their mate...
Bobo walks up to us, and Elena opens the bag with hungry eyes. “Croissants! Moon Goddess, thank you, Bobo, we didn’t get any breakfast yet,” she says while taking one.
“It’s from Nathaniel, actually. Did you tell him about...?”
Elena frowns and shakes her head. “No, he doesn’t know about the baby yet.”
“Oh... He was worried about you. You should give him a call.”
“Mh.”
She doesn’t say anything else and starts eating her croissant. Too soon, I guess...
Then, Bobo comes closer and sits just next to me, on the floor. He is so tall that it’s doesn’t really make a difference, though.
“Hi, Nora,” he says with his usual smile.
“I’m mad at you, too, you know,” I reply with a pout.
My wolf raises her head, a bit annoyed at me. She likes Bobo; she is not mad at him. I decide to ignore her.
“I know,” he says. “I just came to check on you. How are you?”
“Are we talking about my feet or my feelings?”
“Both.”
“My feet are fine.”
I’m really hurt by their lies, though. I still can’t believe none of them told me anything. About Damian’s engagement or that woman, Alessandra King, whoever she is. Do I mean nothing in their eyes? Don’t I deserve to know the truth? Even Bobo didn’t say a thing... I sigh. “I don’t know, Bobo, I can’t get what Damian’s thinking. He... He said he loves me, but...”
