Magtatanghalian na ng magising ang karamihan kinabukasan, sabay sabay silang kumain ng lunch sa restaurant ng resort kahit ang karamihan ay may hangover pa. Pagkatapos mananghalian ay naglibot sa resort ang iba ang iba naman ay nagpahinga na lang sa kwarto nila. Si Brandon naman ay sinamahan si Claire na maglibot sa resort, nag scuba diving din sila at island hopping. Halos walang kapaguran nilang sinubukan ang lahat at sinulit ang dalawang araw nilang day off. Kinagabihan ay nag-dinner date sila.

"Nagustuhan mo ba ang pagkain?" tanong ni Brandon, katatapos lang nila kumain.

"Sobra. Busog na busog nga ako eh, tapos ang ganda pa ng paligid." Nakangiting sagot ni Claire.

"Buti naman nagustuhan mo."

"Sa sunod Brandon dito ulit tayo mag team building ah." Sabi ni Claire.

"Kahit hindi team building, gusto mo next week punta ulit tayo dito sa restday."

"Seryoso ka?" di makapaniwalang sabi ni Claire.

"Pagdating sa'yo lagi akong seryoso Claire." At tinignan sya sa mata. Napangiti ulit si Claire.

"Ikaw talaga, huwag naman next week. Pero ang ganda talaga dito. Ang galing mo maghanap ng magandang lugar." Hangang sabi ni Claire.

"Nirekomenda din lang ito ng isa kong kaibigan nagandahan din kasi sya, gusto mo bang maglakad sa tabing dagat?" tanong ni Brandon.

"Sure. Tara." At tumayo na sila at naglakad papunta sa may dagat, magka holding hands sila habang naglalakad.

"Naalala mo ba Claire yung sinabi ko sa'yo kagabi?" at tumigil sila sa paglalakad at naupo.

"Alin dun? Ang dami mo kayang sinabi." Biro ni Claire kay Brandon. Napangiti naman ang binata.

"Yung sinabi ko na seryoso ako sa panliligaw sa'yo."

"Ah yun ba, bakit kailangan mo pa manligaw, e di tayo na para mabilis." Sagot ni Claire.

"Ms. Guzman, seryoso ako. Gusto kitang ligawan." At tinignan sya sa mata.

"Hindi naman ako nagbibiro Mr. Soriano, seryoso ako na sinasagot na kita. Tayo na, girlfriend mo na ako." At akmang hahalikan nya si Brandon pero pinigilan sya nito.

"Gusto kong sagutin mo na ako pag mahal mo na ako, hindi yung ganito." Sabi ni Brandon.

"Pero dun din naman ang punta nun Brandon, sasagutin kita tapos may mangyayari sa atin then after a while we'll break up." At tumingin ang dalaga sa dagat.

"I'm not like your ex boyfriend Claire, papatunayan ko sa'yo na seryoso ako at hindi lang se-x ang gusto ko sa'yo. I will make you fall in love with me because to tell you honestly I'm already falling in love with you." At pinahirap sya nito sa kanya para magkatinginan sila sa mata.

"So please Claire, allow me to court you." Sinserong sabi ni Brandon kay Claire.

"Oo na naniniwala na akong seryoso ka, pumapayag na akong ligawan mo ako." Pagpayag ni Claire at bakas naman sa mukha ni Brandon ang kasiyahan sa pagpayag nito.

"Thank you, promise I'll prove to you that falling in love is still the best feeling in the world. I'll make you fall in love with me." He said then she tried to kiss him again but he avoided it.

"Ms. Guzman, I know that I'm too hot and handsome that you badly want to kiss me right now, but sorry you have to wait until you feel that you are already in love with me." Sabay kindat kay Claire.

"Yabang! Hahaha!" at hinampas nya ng mahina si Brandon sa braso.

"Totoo naman di ba? Aminin mo? Crush mo na nga yata ako eh." Tukso ng binata sa kanya.

"Yeah right, maalala ko, diba may utang ka pa na kanta sa akin. Sinisingil na kita ngayon." Saka umayos ng upo at humarap sa binata.

"Ano bang gusto mong kanta? Sayang wala akong dala na gitara" at umayos na rin ng upo ang binata paharap sa kanya, parehas na silang naka Indian seat at magkaharap.

"Kahit ano na lang, wala akong maisip na i-re-request na kanta sa'yo e" sabi ni Claire, at nagsimula na kumanta si Brandon.

it's her hair and her eyes today
that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i'm falling further in love
makes me shiver but in a good way
all the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
coz she's all that I see and she's all that I need
and i'm out of my league once again

She just stared at each other while he's singing with all his heart.

it's a masterful melody when she calls out my name to me
as the world spins around her she laughs, rolls her eyes
and i feel like i'm falling but it's no surprise
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
but i'd rather be here than on land
yes she's all that i see and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again

She really likes his eyes, it shows how he's sincere towards her and his voice calms her and makes her feel like she doesn't want him to stop singing. So good to hear.

She clapped her hands when Brandon finished singing then decided to stay there for few minutes and just talk about random things.
