The two got back home an hour after lunch time. Maine was able to buy a dress for her and a suit for RJ, she also bought him shoes and a new bottle of perfume.
"Anong oras yung ano?" he asked her.
"8:00 but we need to be there 30 minutes early to get our masks."
"Rich Kid talaga kayo."
"What?"
"Wala." he said and walked away. Maine took a deep breath and went up to her room. She quickly opened her walk in closet and chose the best pair of shoes for tonight's event. Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She looked at the screen and saw Chanel's name.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hi." her friend's squeaky voice came on.
"I'll be at the party later, don't worry."
"I know, bring Richard with you okay?"
"I will." she said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, bye."

A few hours later, RJ started readying himself. He ironed out his white long sleeve shirts and pants. After doing so, he gathered his stuff and headed out to take a shower. But just before he could open it, Maine stopped him.
"Wait! Dun ka na sa loob."
"Why?" he asked.
"Neighbor's windows are open. Baka nabobosohan ka na jan."
"Katulad po ng ginawa niyo nung minsan?" he asked.
Maine blushed and grunted.
"Ugh, bahala ka jan." she said and walked back to the house. RJ smirked, messing with her became fun again. The young guy could no longer deny it. Something changed. not just with the way he sees her but also with the way he feels whenever he's around her. Maine unlocked something inside of him that he never thought existed.
RJ's always been aware of the fact that he's naughty. But there's something about Maine that really intrigues him. She makes him wanna act different. She makes him wanna be a better person.
He turned on the shower and the cold water dripped over his half naked body. RJ closed his eyes. He knows they're both sinners. She betrayed Nicole's Trust. He on the other hand did everyone wrong by sleeping with Maine.
"Tisoy, pagkatapos na umayos ka na ah? Di pwede silang dalawa tutuhugin mo. Umayos kang loko ka." he whispered to himself. A few minutes later, he turned the shower off. After drying himself, RJ ran back to the maid's quarters to get rid of his wet boxers.
He then started getting dressed for the party. RJ put on the new pair of pants, shoes and the white-as-snow long sleeves that Maine bought for him.
The young guy then took a deep breath just before his phone started ringing. He picked it up and answered the call.
"Hello Tisoy."
"Hi NikNik." he said, getting nervous instantly.
"Kumusta kayo ni Ate?"
"O ... Okay lang naman." he said as cold sweat pour down the side of his face.
"Good luck sa party mamaya." she suddenly told him, catching RJ off guard. His heart dropped, he quickly asked her how she found out about it.
"Nag-paalam si Ate , sabi niya hihiramin ka muna daw. I trust both of you naman eh ... wala naman dapat ika-selos di ba?" she asked and he gulped.
"Tisoy?"
"Oh? Ah ... oo naman. Baliw lang talaga ate mo." he said and she chuckled.
"Nga pala ... malapit na birthdays natin. Are you excited?"
"Siyempre naman." he answered, smiling.
"I can't wait. Okay ... alis muna ako. Bye!"'
"Bye." he replied and the call ended. RJ let out a sigh and just continued getting ready.

Maine took a deep breath and showed herself to RJ. She looked at him straight in the eyes and saw his gaze. His agape mouth and parted lips made her blush.
"How do I look?" she asked him.
RJ just nodded, eyes still fixed on her. Maine just smiled and shook her head from side to side.
"Tara na." she said. A couple of minutes later, they left the house and started driving towards Chanel's place.
"Alam mo na yung love story natin ah." she asked him after a couple minutes of silence.
"Oo naman." he said, face turned towards the window. Maine took a deep breath and told herself that everything is going to be fine.
it took them an hour to reach the place. Loud music and a huge amount of people in front of the mansion are the first two things they noticed.
"Yaman pala nila." he whispered.
"Yes, kaya Chanel ang pangalan niya. Kasi mayaman sila." she muttered. They both looked at each other for a moment before they stepped out of the vehicle.
"Hey guys!" Chanel quickly spotted them.
"Hey!" Maine replied and they hugged.
"This is crazy .. how many people are in here?" she then asked her friend.
"At least two hundred, why?"
"Nothing." she replied. Chanel then turned her eyes on RJ and smiled.
"Pogi talaga." she whispered.
"I know."
"Hawakan mo, someone else might take him."
"Who?"
"Me."
"Baliw, come on." Maine uttered. She then held RJ's arm and they made their way through the seemingly infinite sea of people.
"Kinakabahan ako." he whispered.
"Kalma lang. You look handsome."
"Thanks, love."
"Love?"
"Ay ... este ... Ma'am .. ay babe pala .. pag may tao pala .. babe .. yun." he whispered. Maine looked at him and saw him blushing. She smiled and they went in.

RJ took a deep breath after Maine was taken away by some of her friends. She left him with Evan and his other buddies.
"So bro , kaano-ano mo yung Faulkerson's group of companies sa may BGC?" Evan asked him.
"Same surname lang pare." he replied, giving him an awkward smile.
"Then tell us something about your family." one of his other friends said.
"My pemily? oh my pemily ... he he he ... my pemily? oh ... my pemily .. oh my god." RJ said and started drinkingwater."
"What? Pare ... anyway ... can i ask you something?" Evan asked.
"Okay na, nagtanong ka na." RJ replied, already in the mood to go home.
"You're such a comedian. Anyway ... do you love Maine?"
"Siyempre naman ... girlfriend ko yun eh."
"What if I told you na alam kong peke lang lahat ng tungkol sa inyo? What will you do?" Evan asked, causing RJ's heart to skip a couple of beats. He gulped and quickly walked away from them as fast as he can.
