My Sugar Daddy's
Chapter 72 - Opening the Heart

"Marciel's not my girlfriend. He's my best friend."

"Oh, her name is Marciel…"

Erina glared. For some reason but Raefal's attitude feels different today, especially the way the man talks is not as usual.

"What are you doing here, by the way? Are you eating here too?" Erina switched the conversation.

"Do I have to explain? What do you think people come here for?"

"Ah, you're right. Of course everything is clear."

"Marciel is, handsome, yes." chirps Raefal who reverts the conversation.

"Huh?" Erina raised her eyebrows. He did not understand why Raefal was talking about Marciel again.

"If I look around, it seems like he likes you."

"Marciel? There's no way she likes me. We've been friends since Junior High, so there's no way we have feelings. Our relationship is limited…"

Waita minute. Why is Raefal talking like that? I think something's wrong.

Erina was silent. He glanced at Raefal beside him.

"What's? Why are you staring at me like that?" he said with a slightly taut tone that was not as usual.

Why is he so sensitive? Do not-don't…

Erina's face suddenly blushed. His mind was on one purpose. His prejudice was only one, that Raefal was jealous of him.

But there's only one way to be sure.

"Ehem! I was just wondering, why are you asking about Marciel? Are you interested in my best friend?"

"What's? I'm still normal!" Raefal quickly dismissed Erina's preconceptions about her sexual orientation.

"Oh, if that's not the reason.it means there's only one more reason."

"Reason?" Raefal frowned.

Erina on her tiptoes, bringing her face closer towards Raefal.

The deg!

Raefal jerks. Face sweats. I don't know what the woman will do, and I don't know what the purpose is to bring her face closer like this.

What's he gonna do?

Erina fell silent while facing him in a very close distance.

"I didn't want to expect too much like this. But there's no other reason than what I think."

"What do you mean?"

"You asked about Marciel, and since then your tone seemed a little taut. Different than usual. Then it's clear that you're jealous of seeing me with Marciel, right?"

"W-what?" Raefal's face turned a dead red. He was really shocked by Erina's words just now.

Jealousy said? Just be right!

"It looks like you misunderstood" said Raefal.

"You don't have to pretend, everything looks so clear. You're the one who doesn't usually ask a lot of questions, you suddenly ask about Marciel, and then you're impressed to not like when you see me close to another man. Isn't that obvious?"

Raefal was speechless confirming Erina's speech. He himself did not consciously ask like that.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Raefal tried to calm down. He did not want to make Erina as quickly as possible to conclude about his feelings, but Raefal himself did not know whether what he felt was a feeling of love or not.

"For now it's okay, if you don't want to admit it. But, it's enough to make me happy because it turns out you've slowly started to open my heart to me."

"I'm not opening my heart to you! And that's never gonna happen!"

Raefal suddenly turned his attention to his cell phone.
