"Sa kanila? Ma, huy! wala." RJ replied after his mom asked him who his girlfriend is between Nicole and Maine. The young guy wanted to say the latter but he realized that would almost equivalent to a slap on the face to the former.
"Wala huh? O siya na, kain na kayo jan. Yung ibang tropa mo asa likod ah." she said and so he nodded. After his Mom walked away, RJ approached the two young girls.
"Pasensiya na po ah. Kain na." he said and accompanied them towards the table. After they filled their plates with food, the three returned to the living room. The amount of silence and awkwardness has started to overwhelm him. The side of his face is now covered in cold sweat.

After a couple of minutes, all of them have finished eating. Nicole looked at Maine and saw how uncomfortable she is.
"Uh Tisoy, kamusta? How are you feeling right now?" she asked to break the silence. Nicole has spent a good couple of hours wondering if there really is something going on between her sister and the guy she likes a lot. Both her heart and her mind pointed to a yes, but she's not going to settle for anything until she finds out the real truth.
"Okay naman ... ang weird lang maging 18." he replied and so she smiled.
"Uh, Tisoy?" Maine then asked and so Nicole looked at her.
"Ano yun?"
"May C.R. kayo?"
"Wala eh."
"Wala kayong C.R.?" Nicole asked.
"Joke lang! Eto, tara." he said. After RJ and Maine left, his Mom came in and sat next to the young girl. Nicole smiled at her and she smiled back.

After Maine is finished with her business, she and RJ went to the side of the house to have a quick talk. She took a deep breath and looked at him.
"Pogi mo ngayon." she whispered.
"Ikaw din naman eh."
"Pogi?" she asked.
"No. Hella sexy and Maganda." RJ answered and placed both of his hands on her hips. Maine quickly removed them and reminded him that someone might see what they're going. Suddenly, RJ swooped in and kissed her on the mouth. Maine's heart skipped a couple of beats after she felt the softness of his lips. Electricity flowed all throughout her body, RJ activated her hungry side once again.
After what it felt like forever, he finally pulled away. Maine pursed her lips and looked at him. RJ smiled but it wasn't one of his trademark cheeky smiles, the one he just did was different. And it brought butterflies to his stomach.
"Ikaw ah, porke may nangyari na sa atin magki-kiss ka na lang ng walang paalam."
"May nangyari na sa inyo?" a familiar voice asked. Maine's heart dropped, sh turned around and saw Nicole looking at them.
"Niknik?" she asked. Maine took a step forward but Nicole told her to stop.
"No, wag kang lalapit. Oh my gosh." she said and ran away. Maine and RJ followed her. The young girl tried to stop her sister form leaving but she was unable to. Nicole got into the car and quickly left. Tears are now falling down Maine's eyes, RJ hugged her and suggested they should follow.
"But we don't have a sasakyan."
"Actually, we do." he replied.

RJ took a deep breath after they entered the subdivision. He used Bog's trycicle to catch up on Nicole. Their secret has been discovered, and now he must face all the damages.
"Niknik!" he yelled after he saw her outside their house.
RJ quickly stopped the vehicle. He and Maine then got off and ran towards her.
"Nicole! I'm sorry." he said.
"Sorry? Tisoy, two weeks na akong nandito pero wala kang nabanggit. At kung di ko pa nalaman, talagang hindi niyo sasabihin. Kaya pala iba na yung galaw mo sakin eh, naka-score ka na kay ate." she told him.
"Nicole, what happened between us was a mistake."
"Oh shush. For all I know, nagustuhan mo naman. I should have known na mangyayari 'to ulit. Oo Ate, I know na wala talaga akong karapatan na magalit pero alam mo yung nararamdaman ko sa kaniya. Tisoy is important to me pero anong ginawa mo? Gumana na naman yung inggit mo at pinairal mo na naman yung pagiging flirt mo. And don't think na hindi ko nakita yung ginawa niyo, patagong kiss pa talaga."
RJ took a step forwards and went right in between them. She held Nicole's hands and asked her to hit him.
"Para san pa Tisoy?"
"Para mabawasan naman yang sakit sa puso mo." he whispered.
"Dinurog mo na, wala na." she said and a tear escaped her eyes. RJ's heart also broke at the sight of Nicole crying.
"Niknik ... I'm sorry."
"Sabihin mo sakin ngayon Tisoy ... ako o si Ate ko?" she asked.
"Nik ... sorry." he said. Nicole released herself from his grip. She just smiled and walked away from him. After Nicole slammed the gate shut, RJ turned to Maine. He hugged her tightly after he realized she's crying as well.
"What are we gonna do Tisoy?" she asked.
"Di ko na alam."

A few minutes after RJ left, Maine took a deep breath and walked inside the house. The maids are staring at her. But she couldn't blame them, they must have heard the commotion outside.
The young girl quickly went upstairs and entered her room. A few minutes later, someone started knocking on her door. Maine took a deep breath and opened it.
"Mommy." she said and gave her mother a hug.
"What happened?"
"I made a mistake ... actually kami ni Tisoy."
"What do you mean?"
"May nangyari sa amin nung wala kayo."
"What?"

RJ returned to the Mendoza's mansion the next day. He has to fix all the mess that they did. The young guy took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell button. A few minutes later, the gate opened and Yaya came to his view.
"Good Morning, baby." she greeted.
"Gising na ba sila? can I come in?" he asked right away.
"Yes they are, pero sorry ... ban ka na daw sabi ni Ma'am Nicole." she said.
"Hah? Saglit lang naman ako, mag-eexplain lang."
"Baby Tisoy, di nga pwede."
"Yaya, let him in." that familiar voice caused his heart to beat extremely fast. RJ looked on and saw Mrs. Mendoza staring at him.
"Tisoy, kailangan nating mag-usap."
