Over the next few days, RJ hasn't heard anything from Nicole. He tried to call her but she never answered any of his efforts. He talked to Maine about it but she too is just as clueless as him.
"Niknik ... please." he whispered before he entered the Mendoza's place.
"Ay baby! Good morning!" Yaya yelled. He just looked at her and smiled. RJ then walked straight towards the pool area because today is their general cleaning day. He's gonna have to remove all the dirt , drain the pool and then fill it again. Aside from that, he was also tasked to clear and arrange the plants on the garden.
In order to prevent his shirt from getting dirty, RJ removed it and carefully placed it on the clothesline. After doing so , he reached for the broom and started sweeping around. Then all of a sudden, he heard the sound of their glass door opening. He looked on and saw Maine walk out wearing nothing but her bathing suit. RJ gulped at the sight of her half naked toned body.
The thing about Maine is that she's well confident with herself. She's basically that If-You-Got-It-Flaunt-It kind of girl.
But that all changed when she saw him.
RJ saw Maine scrambling to get her robe on the clothesline. As soon as she did, she quickly wrapped it around her exposed body. The young guy then started feeling his cheeks go warm. Things have been very awkward between him and Maine ever since that day she told Nicole about their supposed secret deal.
"What are you doing here? And bakit wala ka na namang damit? Seriously? Kamag-anak mo ba si Taylor Lautner na laging topless?" she asked.
"Ma'am ... ay este Maine ... ay Ma'am Maine Ma'am ... dito po ako nagta-trabaho ... nakalimutan niyo po ba? Tsaka sinyo yung Taylor ano na yun?" he asked.
"I know ... ugh, Tisoy ... di ba day off mo dapat ngayon?"
"Bukas pa po."
"Uy Tisoy! They both looked on and saw Maine's mom walking towards them. He smiled at her and she did the same.
"Good Morning po Mamsie." he greeted.
"Good Morning din. Uy, look at you two, mukha kayong mga model ng summer clothing line. Sweetie, baliktad yang robe mo. Tisoy ... ayus yan ... may pa-pan de sal ka naman." Mrs. Mendoza said, making him feel a bit shy.
"Mom! Ew!" Maine commented.
"Okay fine ... Maine , you and I will talk later okay? Aalis lang ako saglit."
"San po kayo pupunta?" RJ asked like he's already a part of the family.
"Meetings lang. Okay ... mag-bong kayo jan. Bye!" she answered and then walked away from them. As soon as they where left along, RJ asked Maine why she's only wearing a bathing suit.
"Siguro mag jo-jogging ako ... Tisoy ... oh my JGosh ... swimming siyempre."
"Eh di pa po malinis."
"Kita ko naman . Sunbathing na lang ako."
"Ay teka po, kinausap na ba kayo ni Niknik?"
"Hindi pa eh, ikaw?"
RJ shook his head from side to side. Maine just shrugged and walked away from him. After removing her robe, the young girl sat on a beach chair and started sunbathing. RJ quickly looked away, Maine and her sexiness is a great distraction he can't afford.

Maine closed here eyes and started basking in the pleasant warmth of the morning sunshine. The past couple of days have been very stressful for her. First, she awkwardly ran into Evan many times and he always asked her about RJ. Second, Nicole completely shut her out. And Third, she can't stop having sexy dreams about him.
After a few moments, Maine sat up properly and caught a glimpse of RJ's perfectly chiseled back muscles. He's still the board-shorts-wearing-topless-pool-boy. She gulped and quickly looked away.
Maine tried to act normal around but she can't. Her intimate dreams are too vivid in order for to just brush them off. Unintentionally, her eyes shifted into the roundness of his bum. And right at that moment, her eyes got stuck on that exquisite sight. Maine always had a thing for guys with bubble butts. But RJ's probably the best one she saw so far. Even if he's still wearing shorts, she can already see the outline of it.
Feeling embarrassed and a bit perverse, Maine closed her eyes and just looked up. Her heart is pounding, the walking temptation that is RJ is messing with her feelings.
"He's taken okay? Act like a classy 20 yr. old girl ... please." she whispered to herself. Suddenly, she heard a loud thud. Maine quickly opened her eyes and saw RJ on all fours. Well, just three because his other hand is holding the butt she just admired. She looked at her face and saw that it's ridden with pain.
"What happened?" she asked right away.
"Nadulas po ako ... shit." he said. RJ stood up but still, his hand is on his butt.
"San ka pupunta?" Maine asked him.
"Sa CR lang, titingnan ko po kung may pasa."
"Ako na lang titingin." she suddenly said. It took a moment for Maine to realize what she just revealed. And after realizing how ridiculous that sounded, she started blushing.
"Ano po?" he asked.
"Ah wala .... sige go ..." she replied. RJ then walked away and Maine let out a sigh of relief.

A couple of hours have already but passed but RJ can still feel the pain from his fall. It left a tiny bruise on his otherwise perfectly round butt.
While waiting for the pool to drain, RJ sat on one of the benches and started eating the sandwich his mom prepared for him. A few minutes later, Maine came out and sat on the same bench.
"Gusto niyo po?" he asked.
"No ... thanks." she replied.
A brief moment of silence then ensued. But just after five minutes or so, Maine finally said something.
"I have a question Tisoy."
"Ano yun?"
"Masama ba akong tao?"
RJ then looked at her and saw the serious expression she has. He placed his sandwich down and turned to his completely.
"Hindi ka masamang tao."
"Bakit pakiramdam ko galit si Niknik sa akin?"
"Hindi naman siguro, maiintindihan po kayo nun." he said and she too, turned to her side to face him. RJ's heart started beating fast, the in-vain look she's sporting is making him feel a lot of things. He became more nervous when Maine looked directly at him. His gaze caught hers and it was more than enough to lock them in right at that moment.
He felt himself moving closer and he saw her head tilt to the side. RJ got lost in it. he closed his eyes and was about to go in for the kiss when suddenly ....
"Ma'am!" Yaya's voice demolished the silence that surrounded them. The two quickly look on and saw her standing by the corner at the far end of the garden. thinking that she saw them, RJ quickly stood up.
"What do you need?" Maine asked in an awkward tone. RJ's eyes widened after he saw the familiar face standing behind Yaya. She still has that smile, the smile that made him fall for her.
"Niknik?"
