Twenty-Two

"I heard Coach Tai was very thankful to you lending this island for the training camp." Jema said who is now enjoying what Deanna cooked for their dinner.

"Oh yes, he approached me kanina. Even asked if we can do it again."

"Okay lang sayo?"

"Oo naman. Lalo pag kasama ka." What the fuck is that? Deanna said before she could stop herself. How much of a wine did I already drank?!

"Ay, may baong banat naman pala ang Deanna Wong."

Deanna had to chuckle nervously on that.

"Uhm, I was actually surprised that you still agreed on this dinner."

"What do you mean?" Jema raised her brows on that?

"Your girlfriend, baka magalit syempre ex mo ko..."

"We-we-we-wait. What?! I have a girlfriend?"

"Uh.. yes. You guys are back together right?"

"What are you saying?"

"I... uhm... I saw you guys, kagabi sa may swing, it looked like you two made up, and gotten back together." Jema was smiling from ear to ear so Deanna had to raise her brow. "Wha.. why are you smiling like that?"

"You really are adorable when you're jealous."

"Hmmn. So you guys back together?"

"No. We didn't got back together."

"Looks like it."

"No, we didn't. We just had a talk."

"Talk? And decided to try things again."

"No, Deanna."

"Then what?" Deanna was getting impatient. Why don't you just say na nagkabalikan na kayo?!

"We had closure."

"Closure?"

"Yes, closure." Deanna blinked too many times that she looked like she had something on her eyes. She doubted her chances before, now she saw a light at the end of the rainbow. "We're clear. No hard feelings."

Jema wanted to say that Fhen gave her a green light on talking chance again with her. But she don't want Deanna feel complacent. If she want her back she should earn her back. Marupok no more.

"I see." Deanna bowed to her food grin on her face. Jema knows the reason so she changed the topic and asked about Deanna's stay at the US.

The night went on and Jema was getting tipsy. She only had 2 glass and her cheeks is definitely getting redder and her body getting hotter. She was laughing at every bit Deanna had to say. Her alcohol tolerance clearly is low these days.

She wants to call it a night and go back to their accommodation, but Deanna was thinking otherwise.

"You can stay here."

"Hmm. Mga galawan mo Wong ha?!"

"Hey! I'm not that kind of person. Syempre kelangan may consent mo den.... AWW!" Deanna earned a slap on her shoulder from Jema. "No seriously I can't and won't drive you back. We both had a good amount of alcohol on our system, and look at the time."

Jema looked at the time, 3am. Then she looked at herself. "I don't have a change of clothes."

"I have, and clean underwear."

"Of course you have. Dami mo na sigurong nadalang babae dito."

"Uhm, you're about the..." she counted on her hand. "3rd, besides JiBea."
