RJ's kiss left Maine so speechless that even though he already pulled away she still wasn't able to say a word. Her heart continued to beat fast and the butterflies in her stomach kept on flying around. Maine felt lightheaded, she tried to wrap her mind around what just happened but she couldn't. She was too shocked to convince herself that he just kissed her.
"Maine, okay ka lang?" Richard asked and so she looked at him.
"Hi ... hinalikan mo ako? Homaygahd." That was all she was able to say before she passed out.
When Maine opened her eyes again, the first two things she saw were the concerned faces of Lala and Kirby looking down on her. Lala gave her a sweet smile and asked how she was feeling. Kirby on the other hand just laughed and poked the side of her nose.
"Baby Kirbs ..." she said and the little kid ran away.
"What are you feeling right now, Iha? Bakit ka hinimatay?" Lala's voice was full of concern for her.
"Kala ko po kasi tuluyan na akong kinuha ng liwanag eh." She answered.
"Is she awake?" Maine heard RJ ask. She sat up slowly and instantly noticed the apologetic look on his face.
"Hoy, magnanakaw ka." She said and Lala gasped.
"Sorry na kasi, kasalanan ko bang mas maganda ka pa sa sunset?"
"Wait, anong ginawa ni RJ sa'yo?" Lala questioned her in a scandalized tone.
"Um ... Hinalikan po kasi niya ako."
"It was just a kiss! And I got carried away!" RJ reasoned out.
"First kiss ko yun eh." Maine then said. Both RJ and Lala then looked at her with their mouths open.
"RJ's your first kiss? Oh god, alam mo nung panahon namin ... pinapakasal na kapag ganyan." She said.
"Lala naman eh!" Maine complained. She then glanced at RJ and saw that he was a bit smug about it.
"Biro lang naman. Alam mo kung paano ka makakabawi sa kaniya?"
"Paano po?"
"Gantihan mo ... bawiin mo yung ninakaw niya sa'yo ... halikan mo din."
"Ay shet."

RJ felt like he was on cloud nine after kissing Maine. Her lips felt soft and it tasted sweet. And though the kiss was short, it made him fall for her even more. He wasn't even able to sleep properly because of it. And like a pre-teen boy thinking about his first crush, he stayed awake for most of the night and just thought about her and their possible future together.
"Oh eto na yung hotdog mo." Maine said after putting a plate of burnt hotdogs in front of him.
"Bakit sunog yung hotdog?" he asked.
"Ah, yan ba? Yan kasi mangyayari sa hotdog mo kapag ginawa mo pa ulit yun."
"Sus, sorry na nga." RJ said before giving Maine his irresistible puppy face. He leaned closer to Maine and her expression softened.
"Ay ehe ... ang cute ... emeghed. Wag ka ngang tumingin ng ganyan, mash lalo akong nai-inish."
"Then tell me you forgive me."
"Okay na yun, wag mo na lang uulitin." she told him.
"Yung ano? Yung magnakaw ng halik? Sa susunod may paalam muna?" he asked.
