“Had a nice lunch?” Mave asks as soon as Aya enters the office, not looking at her focusing on her work. Aya ignores her. Mave continues working. Aya couldn't help it and places the paper bag on Mave's table. “Kumain ka na” Aya says then leaves to her table. “Hindi mo ko sasabayan? O busog ka na sa kinain niyong dalawa” Mave says in a serious tone looking out the window. “I'm sure busog ka na din, why did I even bother buying” Aya says about to take the paper bag. “Why are you being like this with me” Mave says holding Aya's arm. “Your being the same way with me” Aya says back.
Mave removes her hold from Aya. “Let's talk” Mave says sitting Aya down the couch. “What's the problem?” she asks sincerely. “Ang hirap magalit sayo” Aya says pouting a little. “Tell me please so I can explain myself” Mave says sitting next to Aya and holding her hands. “It's nothing big… it's just that… why didn't you tell me she was your ex” she says throwing Mave's hands. “Oh kakalma” Mave giggling at how cute Aya is. “Hindi ko naman kasi siya ex” Mave explains. “Oh so kayo pa??” Aya says standing up and crossing her arms. “What what? No not at all” Mave says trying to calm Aya. “We were never actually together our parents were just close so everyone wanted us to be together” Mave explains sitting Aya down. “So never as in just friends?” Aya asks looking Mave in the eyes. “Not even friends” Mave says brushing a bit of hair away from Aya's face.
“Let's have lunch na?” Mave says preparing the food Aya bought. After taking out the food Mave remembers she saw Aya with Jerome earlier. “Wait lang…” Mave says stopping “you already had lunch with someone nga pala” Mave says sarcasticly. “I'll just give this away, I'm not hungry naman” Mave says in a serious tone. “Huh? Wait wait I thought ok na tayo” Aya asks with furrowed eyebrows. “We are I just don't have the appetite to eat” Mave says sitting on her table opening her laptop. “No no no” Aya closes Mave's laptop, “kakain tayo ng sabay” Aya says dragging Mave. “Why not kayo na lang ni Jerome” Mave says stopping in her tracks. “Wait…” Aya turns to look at her with a smirk, “Are you jealous Ms. Laxamana?” Aya asks leaning close to Mave. “Hindi mo ko madadaan sa cuteness mo” Mave says smirking. “Oh don't be jealous Ms. Laxamana were just friends” Aya says dragging her to sit.
“So we're all just friends ganon” Mave says as they eat. “Friend ko si Diane… friend mo si Jerome…” Mave lists off. “Eh tayo?” She asks making Aya stop eating. “Bakit ano ba tayo?” Aya asks confidently. “Anything but friends” Mave says. “Ok… enemies then” Aya says teasingly. “What?? No way” Mave says throwing her spoon on her plate. “Oh kakalma” Aya says. “Bakit ano ba gusto mo?” Aya asks seriously. “Mag partner” Mave says without looking at her. “Business partners?… Ok with me” Aya says once again teasing. “Hindi ganon” Mave says. “Eh bakit kasi hindi masabi ng diretso” Aya says. Mave stops eating and holds Aya's hands.
“I like you Aya… maybe even more than like” Mave says looking sincerely in her eyes.
“How can you be sure when there's still a Diane in your life” Aya asks seriously
“She's nothing… nothing compared to you” Mave says getting her face closer to Aya's.
Aya places her hand on Mave's chest to stop her. “Don't do it if you're not sure… if you'll kiss someone else… if your heart beats for someone else…"
Mave kisses her softly.
