Time flew and it was already Monday. Five of them-Hane, Jeffrey, Kim, Joanne and Jason-now waited at the entrance of the hotel lobby at Palawi for Serene. She would be flying directly to Palawi from New York and would be arriving soon.

Finally, a limousine arrived at the entrance of the hotel lobby. Before the driver could even get out of the car to open the door for Serene, Hane got there first and opened the door for her. She came out looking stunningly gorgeous in an elegant layered V-neck white dress that was sleeveless. Hane and Serene soon found themselves in a loving embrace that almost lasted forever.

A cough came from Jeffrey. "Sorry to interrupt but you two can continue that later. We have much more fun things waiting!" Jeffrey continued with a chuckle.

Serene's cheeks turned a slight pink before saying, "You really haven't changed much, I see."

Jeffrey put his hands to his heart and staggered, "Oh! You have broken my heart!!" This set the whole group laughing.

The group of six then proceeded to their hotel rooms to unpack. Jeffrey arranged it in a way that he thought would be fun. Hane was to share a room with Serene, Kim with Jason and finally, Joanne with him. Jeffrey explained that it was for emergencies, for example, when a burglary takes place, the guy can protect the girl. After unpacking, all of them rested for about an hour before changing into their swimsuits to go to the beach.

Jeffrey came with a volleyball under his arm and shouted, "Now let's start the fun!!!! Guys versus girls in a game of beach volleyball! The team who scores 20 points first, wins!! The team who loses will give the winners a treat!!"

Surprisingly, it was the girls who won. Much of the credit went to Kim as she was the star player of the girl's volleyball team back at school. Jeffrey asked, "How about another round to determine who wins??"

Joanne whacked his back, gave him a face of triumph and said, "Don't be a sore loser. Losers treat the winners, remember? Don't go back on your word!"

"I'm a man and a man does not go back on his word! With Hane around, giving u ladies a treat will be my pleasure." Having said that, Jeffrey took a bow and headed for the shower. All of them then took a shower and rested in their respective rooms.
