NOTE: Make sure you read until the end, I have a little message there for you all :)
Their two little boys are playing with some Legos in Sam's room while the four "adults" are downstairs in the living room, drinking.
Today was New Year's Eve and the gang decided to spend the first day of the year together.
However, Matthew has been strangely quiet the whole time. He's been keeping to himself, only talking when they initiate it.
Sam puts her hand on his knee, "You okay?"
He fakes a smile, "Yeah..."
Sam knows something was bothering him, but she shrugs this off.
"Guys, karaoke tayo!
"Oh, dapat may dance number ulit kayo ni Matt!" Sam tells Anthony as he sets up the Magic Sing.
"Hahahaha! Oo nga! This time ikaw naman and mag-ikot kay Matt, Babes!" Jaime tells Anthony.
Anthony gets the thing going and Jaime picks a song first. When it comes to singing, she is always first.
She punches the number in, "Oh, ayan." Jaime takes a shot of tequila, "This one is for you both. Walang sigurado sa muno pero sana kayo pa din at tayo-tayo pa din hangang sa huli."
Samantha and Matthew exchanges looks after seeing what the song was.
"How Deep is Your Love" by Bee Gees
Jaime starts to sing, hand in hand with Anthony.
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
After that line, Sam was surprised when Matthew puts an arm around her shoulder and pulls her a little closer. It was enough for her to feel but subtle enough that the other two did not even notice it.
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
Matthew's hand was on Sam's knee. He gently taps the rhythm against her skin.
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
After that line, Anthony was already hugging Jaime from the back. Swaying with her as she sings.
Matthew sighs and gets up. Sam thought that he was going to leave the room but instead, he offered his hand to her. "Sayaw tayo?"
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
She just smiles and holds his hand.
As they started dancing, Matthew pulled her close. "We belong to you and me..." He sings softly to her.
Sam could've sworn that suddenly, she couldn't hear Jaime's voice. All he could hear was that line in that distinct voice of his.
The song reaches its end and they all cheer as Jaime pulls a 98.
"O, ha! 98! And I'm pretty sure I sang that tipsy, " Jaime says.
