"No, Anna just don't joke for I'm not joking." I sniff.

"Are you crying?." She asks me making me realize I was too loud when I sniff in even though I was crying.

"No,I'm not." I lie to her clearing a drop of tears already on my left cheek." Let's forget about that and focus on the future,well let me tell you why I called you."

"Why'd you call me?." Anna asks.

"Well I tried Josie's number but she didn't answer my call so I think I would like to come to your house." I scratch my neck with my long fingernails.

"With, you're missing Josie right?." She asks me as I smile but I'm sure she won't know.

"Oh yes I miss her,I can't do without my big sister,she's my best friend and I'd like to talk to her,it's important." I sigh then continues.

"I just hope after I talk to her,she would forgive me." I sigh again.

"It's OK,I am sure that if you talk to her she'd forgive you,I am sure if that and it will happen." She encourages me causing me to smiling unknowingly.

"Thanks a lot Anna,you're a true friend." I thank Anna and I think Anna is a true friend,no wonder Josie chose her.

"Oh,it's nothing." Anna says interrupting me from my thought.

"Thanks again." I thank her.

"Bye and come quickly." She thanks me then hangs up.

I should go to her place quickly and apologize to Josie,this is my last chance.

I grab my bag from the chair and stand up. Maybe after eating, I'm hungry.

******

I ring the door bell and wait for a response but is disappointed but is not disappointed the second time I ring the bell as Josie opens the door.

"Babe." Josie looks at me surprised and shocked to see me.

"Josie,I want.."

"KEEP SHUT!." Josie's voice interrupts my speech. "Why would you come to this place after you know how it's going with us and you know I cannot want you to come to my house?."

"Josie just listen.."

"Listen to what,I am not listening to anything you want to say." She interrupts me folding her hands together resting them on her chest facing another direction between her right and front.

"Josie,just listen to what Babe wants to tell you it might be good."

"It won't be good,all she'd just say is bad things about my lover."

"Just listen to it you might like it." Anna assures Josie waving her hands to me so I can start talking.

"OK,I'll listen to her but if it's not good,she will never visit again."

"OK." Anna promises Josie and gives me a cute smile. Josie closes her eyes.

"Um,well I came to apologize." I begin but it seems like she doesn't want me to continues as she sighs.

"I won't accept your apology." She tells me quickly turning to my direction still closing her eyes.

"Well I knew you'd say that,and that's why I went to Clemy for advise and he told me to tell you well he told me something." I pause and do not when a cute smile fell on my face Josie opens one eye to look at me then closes it again.

"He told me that there are lots of ways a person can destroy their home,well I think we're both behaving like children,just a little slap I gave you made you all angry." I sigh. Josie opens her eyes and drops her hands.

"Well it's not because of the slap,it's because of what you told me about Kelvin that he's never coming to meet me and you know that's what I hate the most." She looks at me with one cute face.

"OK,I'm sorry." I apologize to her holding my ears as we both hug each other then Anna joins in too.

"He also told me that......."

********

"I miss your delicious food, they're really great and better than Anna's own." Josie takes another spoon of clam chowders.

"Oh really? Are they that delicious?" I ask the Josie who eats like she's has never eaten before.

"They're more than delicious." She replies my question chuckling.

I sit close to Josie.

"Josie I'm really sorry for what I said to you that Kelvin is never coming to you,no one knows who will get married to Kelvin so it's no ones fault. Well I'm sorry." I apologize to Josie again.

"It's OK,I forgive you but don't do anything like that again or worse than that." We both laugh.

"Should we go to Clemy's house?" I ask Josie as she looks at me surprised.

"Why?." She asks me taking another spoon of clam chowders.

"Well since he's the one who made us come together again so let's go thank him." I reply her smiling.

"OK." She agrees with my. "But after eating."

I groan then lie on the bed.

"She's going to eat the whole world and I'm sure of that." I tell myself.

"What do you mean?." She asks me making me realize that I was too loud.

"Nothing." I tell her then we both laugh.

**********

"Thanks so much again else we won't be together." I thank Clemy again after reaching his house.

"It's no problem." Clemy tells me.

"Thanks Clemy,I am also thanking you." Josie thanks Clemy watching an American movie that Ariana, Kelvin's sister acted since she's a actor. Clemy faces Josie.

"Josephine Rale." Clemy starts with a cool voice. Josie faces him.

He continues

"You said that I am dating Babe, oh come on,Babe's just my friend, we play a lot, we talk and stuffs like that but we have never thought of dating each other."

"OK,I won't." Josie promises Clemy and says small.

"Even though I know you are both dating."

"Hey." We both shout at her but she doesn't care and continues watching TV.

"Clemy don't listen to her,she's so dumb." I tell kelvin so he won't feel bad but it doesn't seem like he cares about what Josie said as he smiles.

"Why are you apologizing, I know she's just joking o there's no need to feel anyhow." He smiles again.

"You know,you're a good friend with advises." I tell him and I know I'm not telling a lie.

"Thank you, well what would you like to have?." He asks me.

"Give me some chips." I reply him.

"Chips huh,OK,what would you like to have?." He turns to Josie and she still concentrate on the film but replies him.

"I'm not hungry I just finished eating clam chowders at home." She tells him quickly.
