Alice's POV:

"Hello...yep, this is Alice...yes, I'm gonna need your help...oh, really?! You will gonna come here immediately?! OK! Bye-bye!"

I put down your cellphone...and grins at Alex.

"Huh? Why are you smiling at me?" Alex wonders and asks. "And by the way, who do you just called?"

"Well...it's Claire."

"Oh! The girl that helped guarding our food truck when we're in the market!"

"Well...she could do better than that! That's why she's my best friend...and we can count on her for her help!"

We walked back together to Alex's house...where Danica was waiting for us impatiently.

"Oh! There you are guys!" Danica stood up and welcomed us at the door. "I was really worried to you will gonna break up instantly!"

"Well, it was...until Alex recognized his mistakes against me when he handle that cat...and to accept his humble apology, I slapped his face real hard! Hehehe!"

"Hehehe! How cute!" Danica giggled at us. "You're fighting like dog and cat. I bet you will be a couple in the future! KYAAA!!!"

"Huh?!?! WHAAAT?!?!" Our faces blushed and turned away from each other. "We are ju-just friends! We wi-will never be a co-couple. Ri-right, Alex?!?!"

"Oh, ye-yes! We wo-won't!"

Embarrased by the commotion...we just sat down in the sofa and not to speak any word at each other...the atmosphere is quiet for a few moments...until a knock was heard on the door. I was the one who opens it...and there I saw the girl that I called earlier...

"Hi, Alice! Hehehe!"

"Claire! You made it!" I shook her hand in glee, then I introduce her to Alex and Danica. "Guys, this is Claire Dela Cruz. She is my childhood best friend. She will help you in guiding your house, Alex."

"Hello, Alex. I can still remember you...you owe me something for guarding the food truck for you." Claire kindly told him. "Anyway, nice to meet you, Alex!"

"Claire, thank you for accepting my invitation." Then, I oriented my friend as she sat down beside me. "As you know, we have already started our food truck business and it turns out to be a success. Right now, our plan is to travel the entire country to show our culinary skills and make our customers happy. However, doing so will make our houses...umm...vulnerable. So I just ask you...can you guard our houses?"

"Huh? Me?! I'm not gonna guard your house...."

"WHAAAAT?!?!?!" I was so startled by her statement. "But...I thought you..."

"Umm...Alice...I'm not yet done speaking...."

"Oh! Sorry! My bad!" I scratched my head in embarrassment.
