MATURED CONTENT (R-18) Phoenix Series#10: Ethan Davidson "Hindi nababase ang pagmamahal sa mukha. Everyone deserves to be loved, beautiful or ugly. Kung mukha lang ang mamahalin sa isang tao, nasaan ang pagmamahal do'n? Mukha lang ang mahal mo hindi ang buong pagkatao niya and that's not love." - Ethan Davidson

(The Lost Souls on Tour: The Last Tour) What are the things that you are willing to do for the person that you love? Minsan, kapag nagmamahal tayo, doon na 'tin mas nakikilala ang sarili na 'tin dahil...may mga bagay pala na kaya na 'ting gawin. Love...can make us better but also bring out the worst in us. And it's risky, because we tend to hurt ourselves at the process of it. No matter how smart a person is, love can make them stupid and dumb. And for Theodosius Maximon Valdroza, no matter how smart he is, he will be foolish when it comes...to her. Smart, achiever since he was a kid, talented, competitive...but when it comes to her, his competitiveness has always been worn out if it was her who he would be his opponent. Ayaw niya na nagagalit siya sa kaniya kung siya naman ay unti-unting nababaliw rito. A young love that grows together with him. A love that makes him...selfless. Because he was always ready to give everything to her. He was always ready to do anything just to please her. He was always ready to...surrender. To love, to grow with it, to wait, to conquer...everything for her. Theo was always willing even if it meant to break him apart just for her. Because she will always be his...sweet surrender. - I do not own the book cover that I used, credit to the rightful owner. Date Started: August 23, 2024 Date Ended: May 12, 2025

My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home?
