With 3 championships in less than a year of Dennise since she joined Creamline, she feels ecstatic. Minsan hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala how things have turned out for her ever since the start of this year. She watches her teammates do silly things, get drunk (finally), and enjoy the night of their 3rd championship.

Alyssa sits beside her, holding a bottle of beer. One thing about Alyssa, kung ayaw niyang malasing, don't go for hard drinks.

"Okay ka lang?" Alyssa shouts in Dennise's ear.

"Oo," Dennise shouts back, "ikaw? Don't drink too much."

"I'm not!" Alyssa laughs, "ihahatid pa kita."

Dennise eyes Alyssa, "anong ihahatid?"

Alyssa continued to laugh, "sa bahay natin. Sabay tayong uuwi po," she said.

Dennise shakes her head, "thought you had other plans pa."

"Not that you won't know naman babe," Alyssa smiles.

Dennise smiles, "hindi pa ba natin sasabihin?"

"Kung anong gusto mo babe," Alyssa smiles, "kahit malaman pa ng buong mundo or hindi, it won't change the fact na we're together na."

"Sa wakas," Dennise adds.

"Sa wakas," Alyssa repeats.

Dennise nods, "let's keep it a secret for a little while, then."

"Even kay Ella?" Alyssa asked, napatingin si Dennise kung saan nakatingin si Alyssa. She sees Ella eyeing them. Ngumiti si Dennise sa bestfriend niya at kumaway.

"Even kay Ella," Dennise answered without looking at Alyssa. She heard Alyssa laugh.

"Alright, babe," sagot nito, she waited for Ella to look away before whispering to Dennise's ear, "God, you don't know how beautiful you are in that black dress."

Dennise felt goosebumps, she felt her face heated. She gulped, "stop being so obvious!"

"Sinabi ko lang e," Alyssa pouts, "before I get stuck here, punta muna ako kila Sir Jonathan, if I won't, babakuran lang kita buong gabi."

"Wala namang aagaw sa akin, Alyssa."

"Sa team natin wala, sa kabilang VIP, mukhang meron," Alyssa said with a frown. Dennise laughed.

"I've been yours since the start of time, Ly. I will be yours until the end of it."

Alyssa smiles widely. She didn't bother to hide na kinilig siya, "later, love."

"Later," Dennise winks at Alyssa.

Past 4 am when the team decided to call it a night. Napailing na lang si Alyssa on how wasted half of her team is.

"Love you mga ate ko," Bea said, half-conscious, habang naka-akbay siya sa dalawa.

"Bei, stand up ng maayos, nahihirapan si Den sa tangkad mo," Alyssa says.

Bea laughs, "sorry ate Den."

"Okay lang Bei. Are you sure kaya mo pa?"

"Kaya pa!" Bea answered with a thumbs up na ikinatawa nung dalawa.

"Ano 'yan, buti gising pa 'yan si Beatriz?" Ella asked.

"Besh! Kala ko umalis na kayo?" Dennise asked.
