Everybody has secrets. Especially me.

The thing with Valentine's Day is, either you hate it or you love it. And Zade Pascual definitely belongs to the first category. Para sa kanya, isang araw lang ito ng commercialized version ng pag-ibig. Walang kakilig-kilig at napakalayo sa true love stories na nababasa niya sa mga libro. Nasubok ang kanyang anti-Valentine's sentiment when she unexpectedly meets Andreau Cortez-an award-winning actor and film student at her university-in the cafe where she works-- on Valentine's Day of all days. Andreau, their new cafe regular, surprises Zade by asking for her help with his latest short film project, which she hesitantly agrees to. Despite a rocky start, Zade discovers the real Andreau Cortez beyond the camera and celebrity gossip. Over the fika-not date hangouts and late-night conversations, their effortless friendship blurs into something more, to the point na akala ng lahat (yes, friends and family included) na sila na ni Andreau. Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.

Falling in love was a story he didn't know... until he met her. (The Spaces in Between -- Andreau Cortez POV)

I saw weakness in his smile when he told me... "I wish I knew you earlier."

A writer. A weird stranger. A lot of little conversations. An online understanding. Every night. 23:11.

A (not-so) hopeless romantic writer. A weird (not-so-much of a) stranger. A lot of (denying) feelings in between. A (continuation of the online) connection that ends on 11 / 23.

If you ever thought that you already have that perfect love story you've always dreamed of, think again. Everything in this world is not what it seems to be. Everything's twisted, including your story.

"In love ka na once accepted mo na 'yong person na 'yon kahit ano pa man siya. Buong-buo 'yong acceptance, hindi kalahati lang. Hindi sala sa lamig, sala sa init. Hindi napipilitan. Hindi natatakot." "Malalim," aniya. Tumikhim. "Mukhang based on experience." Tumawa si Kaye, hindi um-oo, hindi rin humindi. "Ikaw, ano'ng answer mo?" "Ano na bang pagmamahal pinag-uusapan natin? Fans, supporters-readers o romantic na ata 'yan?" natatawang aniya. "Hindi ako nag-a-assume kaso 'yang mga hugutang ganyan, eh. . .may mga pinaglalaban." Tumigil sa paglalakad si Kaye. Nagpamulsa. Ang lawak ng ngiti sa labing may kaunti pang kintab. "Sige, romantic na." Umiling si Rayne, nangingiti rin. "Bilis ng change topic natin." "Oo nga, eh. Let's take it slow," anito, may pilyang pagkagat pa ng kaunti sa labi. "Dito muna tayo sa usapang 'to."

Sinteya Yeo has always been into "sinful" acts until her world was shaken when she took the challenge of playing fire with her respectable college professor. ***** Pinaniniwalaan ni Sinteya Yeo na sex objects lang ang tingin ng mga lalaki sa mga babae, a belief borne from the fact that she's the daughter of a single mother and unknown father. Kung sex lang ang habol ng mga ito, then sex lang ang ibibigay niya and nothing else. That view in life molded the woman she is today until she sets her sights on her handsome ethics professor, Sir Marco, who brushes off sexual innuendos and flirtations. As her frustration of proving her point turns into deeper, warm, and fuzzy feelings, hindi mapigilan ni Sinteya na ibaling ang tukso sa isa pang forbidden conquest, a more willing victim . . . because she believes that forbidden acts are the most pleasurable.
