“You know pwede tayo mag tabi right?” Aya says still not letting go of the argument, they are now both getting ready for bed. “Ms. De Ayala… ask me out on a date first naman” Mave says kidding. “Shouldn’t you be the one to ask me” Aya replies challenging Mave. “If I do would you say yes” Mave says approaching Aya. “That depends on how you'll ask” Aya says looking at Mave seriously. “How should I ask then” Mave says approaching closer to Aya. “With sincerity of course, I'm not an easy girl to get” Aya says not budging at how close Mave is. “Go out on a date with me, my Aphrodite” Mave whispers as she leans closer to Aya. And then Mave falls from the couch and wakes up.

“Huy ok ka lang?” Aya asks as she approaches Mave now on the floor. “Sabi na kasing ako na lang dyan eh” Aya says helping Mave sit. “Aray” Mave says as her head hurts. “Wait lang” Aya stands and gets ice for her. “Hindi ka pa tuloy pwede matulog nyan” Aya says scolding Mave while holding an ice pack to her head. “Lagi na lang ako pinapagalitan” Mave says staring at Aya's eyes. “Hindi naman, inaalala ka lang” Aya says. “Bakit ka nag aalala” Mave asks innocently. Making Aya look her in the eyes, for a moment they stare at each other. “Kasi boss kita” Aya says breaking the stare. “Ahh…. dahil lang trabaho mo” Mave says sounding disappointed. “Bakit you never call me by my name” Mave once again asks. “I do” Aya says defensively. “You don't… you only do pag sa bahay or pag pinapagalitan ako” Mave says stopping Aya from helping her. “What do you want me to do? Your my boss” Aya says staring at her. “Nothing” Mave says laying down again. “Wala ka na naman kibo” Aya says, “Masakit pa ulo mo wag ka muna matulog” Aya says pulling Mave to sit up again. “What should I do then?” Mave asks. “Wanna talk? I'm not sleepy pa” Aya says. “Will you finally call me by my name?” Mave teases.

“How about this, I'll call you by your name if you start spending time with family” Aya says sitting beside Mave. “How does that work” Mave asks with furrowed eyebrows. “I'll start calling you Mavey once I notice na you spend more time with your family” she says with a wide smile. “Ok, but I want a counter deal” Mave says grinning. “Hay nako mga entrepreneurs nga naman, oh ano gusto mo?” Aya says crossing her arm. “For every time I spend with my family you have to spend the same amount of time with me” Mave says in a serious tone.

“Ano kumalabog kagabi” Shai asks. “Oo nga akala ko may magnanakaw na” Mags says. “Si Mave nahulog sa couch” Aya says as she prepares breakfast. Cal and Jules laugh. “Kalikot naman kasi matulog ni insan” Cal says. “Bakit kasi sa couch natulog” Shai asks innocently. “Hindi mo na lang pinatabi sayo ate” G says. “Nako hindi tatabi yun” Jules says. “Hindi kasi sanay matulog ng may katabi” Cal says. “Pag tumabi ka naman dapat mauna siya umalis ng kama kung hindi masama gising niya” Soph explains. “Do you guys always talk behind my back” Mave says as she comes down the stairs. “Nvm andyan na si sungit” Soph says.

The group tours the city of Cebu the whole day, visiting shops, museums and tourist spots. As they arrive at the resort the group decides to spend time at the beach and bar nearby. “Wait lang wait lang” Mags says. “Bakit? Takot ka ba sa tubig?” Cal asks jokingly. “Sa height ko na toh dadalhin mo ko sa malalim?” Mags asks sarcastically. “Ode CPR na lang kung malunod” Cal says with a smirk. The group teases them both. Away from the crown Mave as sitting on the stand staring at the sunset. “About last night” Aya says sitting next to her. “What about it?” Mave says still staring at the sun. “I mean ano ba ibig mo sabihin by spend time with you” Aya asks. “You'll know when it happens” Mave tells her with a smile. “Pero—” Aya was about to speak when…

“Amaya?” a person behind them calls out. “Uy Franco” Aya says as he stands and hug the person.
