"Dinner? With Daisy?" I asked. "Her friend here?"

"Bestfriend." She corrected me.

I chuckled at her joke but when I looked at her and she was serious. "You're not... Are you serious? I'm her bestfriend!"

It's her turn to chuckle. "Anyways, she's asking if I could ask you to cook for dinner."

"Okay. That's easy." I said. "And I am her bestfriend." I ended and left her there, laughing.

I had been quite a bit possessive when it comes to my friends. I don't actually know why, but Jema said that it is because I am a big name to the business, I need to have a genuine and trustworthy friend. Hence, Deanna. Besides we shared the bullets from the same gun.

I went home that day early to cook for us. I thought since Daisy is the only non-Filipino on the group, we let her try some of our famous dishes. Adobo, Sinigang, Tinola, Prito and Pinakbet.

When they got home, the dinner is already served and I already got out from the shower. I wore a simple above the knee shorts and a Nike shirt.

I heard a murmur downstairs so I assumed they are already here and I took a peak. I saw a light skinned black, just as tall as Deanna woman standing beside her.

She looked up and I swore she dropped dead when she saw me.

Deanna looked at her and poked her shoulder. When she realized what happened she chuckled. I went down to join them and Daisy just stared at me.

'Weird human being.'

"Hey Bea, this is Daisy."

"Your friend, of course. Hi." I looked at her and lend my hand. "Bea, Deanna's bestfriend." I emphasized the last word and I saw Jema rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"Uhm..." She said. "Uhm.." 

"What is happening with her?" Jema whispered to Deanna.

"She's one of those. BDL-effect."

"Ah."

We went to the dining to have the dinner and Daisy became much more comfortable. She's talking and engaging conversations. The night went on and Daisy is a great person. She told us about Deanna when she was still here, studying.

She also told about her mom who recently died cause of leukemia. During that story, I looked at Deanna. She was.. uncomfortable. She was forking her plate.

When everyone was finished, Deanna and Jema offered to wash the dishes, cause Ate Susan is already asleep. I got the chance to talk to Daisy, about Deanna's situation, which I regret afterwards.

"Hey. Thank you for the delicious meal." She said as I hand her a beer.

"Oh thank you!"

"Did Deanna... tell you? Anything?"

"Told me what?"

"So, she didn't." She smiled and sipped her beer.

I got curious so I asked her. "What is it?"

"I thought you were her best friend?"

"Oh don't poke the bear." I said with a chuckle. I looked at her and she was just looking away. "Seriously what is it?"

She smiled and shook her head no. "This is why you are good in business. You want to know everything."

"What? I'm not like that!" She laughed, but she didn't talked so I pushed a little more. "But what is it? Really?"
