It was late in the evening when Giammario lay own his side to hugged Lisa from behind. He began halik the side of her head, made his way to her ear, cheek and neck. She was awaken sa pamamagitan ng the tickling feeling of Gi’s beard running against her soft face skin. She turned to face her boyfriend who smirked at her.
Lisa: It’s late in the evening, get some sleep…
Gi: I can’t sleep… <began halik the side of her head again>
Lisa’s thoughts were filled with Hugh. She shut her eyes as Gi began caressing the tuktok part of her chest and made his way in removing the puntas strap on her right shoulder. She didn’t halik back when Gi passionately halik her on her lips. He looked at her.
Gi: You don’t want it?
Lisa: I ---
Gi captured her lips at once making her unable to finish her sentence. It was a rough passionate halik this time and Gi’s breathings were strong. She closed her eyes hoping it was Hugh who’s beside her right now. Soon, she fell into Gi’s halik and finally kissed back. She placed her hands on his shoulders as he climbed on tuktok of her and began his work. After they made out, Lisa leaned her head on Giammario’s naked chest as he caressed the head and hair of his love.
Gi: I missed it for six months… <Both smiled> I didn’t think it would be the best if you skip it for awhile…
Lisa: Honey… One day, I have to tell you something…
Giammario sighed and seemed to be thinking something deep.
Gi: Sometimes, you don’t have to say it, Lisa, because sometimes I already know… <Lisa looked at him> Because I already know you pag-ibig me…
Lisa smiled and laid back her head on Gi’s chest. Giammario sighed and held back the tears that were about to form in his eyes and kissed Lisa’s forehead instead.

Hugh and Lisa’s relationship went on smoothly even though Giammario’s back in America. Nothing has change for them. They would sneak around the busy kalye of LA just to meet with each other but making sure they put on their best disguising clothes to get away from the hungry paparazzi. It was also mahirap paniwalaan that they were able to keep the secret of their relationship from the rest of the House MD family and even to Giammario. When they feel like making out, it was Hugh’s house they would run to but they did it only twice. Lisa’s full of guilt whenever she comes tahanan but she can’t deny the fact that she’s happy being the girlfriend of Hugh. Hugh on the other hand, focused himself being the boyfriend of Lisa and was busy filing a divorce agreement and visitation rights for his children from his first marriage. He was always faithful to his girlfriend and would be as thoughtful and sweet as he could be. Hugh’s indeed the “perfect” man that a woman could dreamed of.

Jen and Lisa were having tsaa sa pamamagitan ng break time. Both were still wearing the clothes they wear around the show.
Lisa: I don’t know what to do…
Jen: Anyone in your situation would say that...
Lisa: I slept with Gi last night…
Jen: <smiled> Are you okay? Of course you did… well actually, you should. That’s what couples do… It isn’t new, Lisa…
Lisa: Jen, I’m with Hugh!
Jen: Reality check, Lisa, Hugh’s the one you’re having an affair with, not Giammario…
They were silent for awhile.
Lisa: After we made out, he asked me about marriage and settling down…
Jen: What?! Is he serious? --- What did you say?
Lisa: I didn’t answer him… Giammario’s a great man. He cares and loves deeply. Hugh’s the same, in fact, he’s even greater in some ways… Gi was surprised of course when I didn’t answer, since we planned long nakaraan to settle down in two years. Well, the plan was before Hugh came along… Of course, something changed…
Jen: Does Hugh know this?
Lisa: No
The door opened and Lawrence walked in and told Lisa to meet David in his office. Lisa nodded and followed him.

She was surprised when she entered the office and saw Hugh seated across David who was there seated on his chair. She took the upuan beside Hugh and the room was silent for awhile. David looked at them closely.
David: <cleared his throat> I actually don’t know where to start. At first, I don’t want to believe the rumors ibingiay the fact that I know how happy Hugh is to his marriage but then… <sighed>
David pulled out his drawer and got the same magazine Jo showed Hugh but this time the picture is different and it’s a new issue. He placed it on the mesa near the two. Hugh and Lisa looked at each other then returned a glance at David who was looking at them too.
Hugh: I can explain…
David: No matter what you two say or do, I’m sorry but I have to ask you to cut off your relationship other than being fellow actors. ---- It was on the contract that you signed that no relationship has to be started in and out of the show’s duration. If the two of you continue the relationship you have after this talk, I’m sorry but I have to cut one of you. <He sighed> Ok, that’s all I need to say and what I am ordered to say sa pamamagitan ng the Fox’s administrators.

Hugh entered Lisa’s dressing room before he heads home. He found her also about to leave. He knew he’s ready to leave the ipakita for the sake of his love, in fact, he already made up his mind to turn back from the show.
Hugh: Hey… <Lisa looked at him>
Lisa: <Managed to smile> Hey…
Hugh: Going home?
Lisa: Yah… It’s past my time out…
Hugh: <sighed> I’m cutting myself out the show…
Lisa: Don’t do it. <Wiped the tears that were about to fall and they looked at each other>
Hugh: I’m doing it for ---
Lisa looked down before she looked back at Hugh. The tears that she was holding back only made her throat feel sore. She swallowed to ease it up a little bit before saying the words she actually doesn’t want to say, even in her dreams.
Lisa: Hugh… I’m breaking us off…
