"Bakit ba sumama pa ko sayo" Mags says struggling with her heels. "Wag mo naman ako iwan agad, andito naman si pogi mo" Aya says as they sit down the couch. It's been 3hrs since the party has started, Mave and Cal are busy entertaining other people, heirs of other companies. Everyone is trying to get a chance to talk to Mave as it is their first time actually seeing her in a social event. "Kawawa naman na trap sa mga kausap" Aya says teasingly looking at Mave who's obviously uninterested with everyone. "Should we rescue them?" Mags says with a smirk. "Hays let's save our damsels in distress" Aya says as they both stand up and walk over to Cal and Mave.
As the girls were walking to Cal and Mave, Jerome Guillermo, son of a senator, 'heir' to his father's position, approaches them. "Hi beautiful ladies" Jerome greets. "Good evening Mr. Guillermo" Aya says. "How about a toast?" Jeremy says as he offers them a shot of Vodka. "Unfortunately we can't" Mags says. "We're actually working right now" Aya adds. "Maybe some other time" Mags says as they try to dodge Jerome. "Is that the way you talk to a senator's son?" Gerald Razon, heir to a entertainment company, friend of Jerome, and unfortunately Jules cousin. "Good evening sir Gerald" Aya says greeting the guy joining the conversation. "Accept niyo na offer ni Je (Jerome)" Gerald says offering them the shots again. "It's a party, you drink at parties" Gerald says giving a meaningful look at Jerome.
Someone takes the shot from Gerald's hand. "Thanks for that I really needed a drink" Mave says as she downed down the shot. "May hors d'oeuvres ba?" Cal says as she takes the shot from Jerome. They both stand between the girls and Jerome and Gerald. "We're not servers here" Jerome says irritated. "Oh sorry we thought with the way you're dressed..." Mave says looking them up and down. "If you're not servers then bakit inoofferan niyo dates namin" Cal says moving closer to Mave. "We were just trying to be nice and entertainment them" Jerome says. "It's not our fault busy ang dates nila with other girls" Gerald says giving sass. "It's ok we understand how in demand they are" Aya says as she moves next to Cal and Mave. "I think there are other guests who wants to talk with you" Mags says as she clings to Cal. "Some other time then" Gerald says as he bites his lips and leaves with Jerome.
"Let's talk outside" Cal says looking at the girls. "It's getting too crowded in here" Mave says as she gently pulls Aya outside. "So you guys are our dates" Aya says with her arms folded. "We were just trying to save you guys" Mave says as she sits down the steps. "I hate gatherings like this" Cal says sitting and leaning on Mave. "Ang sakit na ng paa ko" "Ako din sakit pag kulang sa height" the girls whisper at each other. Mave and Cal look at each other. "Uwi na tayo" Cal says. "But the party isn't over, Hindi ka pa nabibigyan ng award" Aya says. "I don't need the award... it's late you need to rest din" Mave says in monotone. Aya just agrees because she is tired. "Paano ka uuwi?" Aya asks Mags. "I'm sure may taxi or grab naman dyan" Mags says. "Ihatid na lang kita" Mave says. "Nakakahiya po" Mags says as she hides behind Aya. "Ako na lang mag hatid sayo" Cal says. Immediately Mags says "Ah tara na po pala Ms. Mave" she says as she walks towards the car. "Hmmmm" Mave hums as she follows Mags to the car. "Dami mo alam!" Cal says as they meet each others eyes. "Aya let's go" Mave says. "Pati po ako?" Aya asks with furrowed eyebrows. "We're going home to the same house, might as well" Mave says in a serious tone. "Apaka sungit talaga" Aya says stomping her way to the car. "Buti nga sayo!" Cal shouts as Aya leaves Mave.
"Hala si crush maghahatid sakinnnn" Mave says as Aya enters the car. "Kinikilig ka na naman" Aya says teasing her. "Syempre ang pogi ng maghahatid eh" Mave says jokingly punching Aya.
"So where should I drive to?" Mave says as she settles in her car. Mave drives Mags to her place. "Thank you po Ms. Laxamana, ingat po kayo pauwi." Mags says hugging Mave quickly then entering her apartment. Mave opens the door for Aya. "Huh? Sa inyo ako uuwi diba?" Aya says wondering why she's opening the door. "Sit upfront" Mave says seriously. Aya gets out the car, Mave once again opens the passenger door for her. "Nagmumukha akong driver mo"ave says joking.
"Did you have fun tonight?" Mave asks while driving. "Aba nag sasalita ka pala" Aya says surprised. "Nevermind" Mave says sitting straight. "I'm just joking" Aya giggles "It was actually fun for the most part" Aya says "I'm just a bit hungry kasi naman panay fita with toppings lang tapos may meat nga cubes naman" Aya rants as she faces Mave. Mave's lips form a smile surprising Aya. "Ngumingiti na siya ngayon" Aya thought to herself. "Sorry for dragging you tonight, si Dad naman may gusto sayo dun" Mave says. "Ah so ayaw mo pala ako dun... noted" Aya says focusing on her phone. Mave stops on the side of the road. "You made tonight bearable" Mave says looking Aya in her eyes.
