Orm's head fell back. Her voice trembled with every thrust. "Faster... oh my god, please-don't stop." And Lingling didn't. She held her tighter, moved rougher. Then-just as her body began to unravel-Lingling whispered at her ear, "Say it." Orm's chest heaved. Her eyes were glazed. Her voice nearly broke. "Say what you want, baby." Orm pulled her closer, lips brushing her ear. And with one last moan, body arching into her- "Marry me, Ling." Her voice shattered as her body did the same. A storm of pleasure broke inside her, unstoppable, undeniable. And just like that-everything stopped. Lingling froze. She pulled back slightly, searching Orm's face. "What did you just say?" Orm's lips were swollen. Her eyes glassy. Her hair a mess of heat and sweat and desperation. "You heard me," she said, breathless. "Marry me." -- Orm, a bold, fearless, and free-spirited young manager in the fashion department of a top magazine, has never been one for commitment or settling down. Meanwhile, Lingling, a web developer and the only daughter of the company's owner, brings a quiet strength and gentle patience that draws Orm in and pulls them closer together. What starts as a chance encounter slowly evolves into a profound love that changes Orm's view of herself. With Lingling, Orm finds someone who doesn't try to change her-but instead makes her want to change.

A bestwoman and her unexpected companion are about to find out if a fake date can spark something real in this charming and flirty romance.

Orm was on a video call with her friend, catching up after moving to the U.S. with her family. During the conversation, Orm unexpectedly spotted Ling, a beautiful stranger in the background. She was captivated by Ling's beauty, developing a crush without meaning to, and found herself focusing on her for the rest of the call. Afterward, Orm asked her friend who the person in the video was, and her friend explained that Ling was her cousin's colleague. That was the last time Orm saw Ling-until months later. When Christmas came around, Orm decided to visit the Philippines for a five-day vacation and reunite with friends. During another video call with that same friend, Orm saw Ling again, this time a bit tipsy, celebrating the holidays. The memory of her first encounter with Ling came rushing back, and coincidentally, it was the day of Orm's flight back home. After arriving in Cebu, Orm spent time with family before heading to her friend's house. To her surprise, Ling was there, one of her friend's cousin's close friends. Meeting Ling in person left Orm in awe-she was even more stunning than on video. Feeling nervous, Orm decided to have a drink to build up the courage to ask for Ling's social media handle. She succeeded and even asked for a selfie as a keepsake. Once back in the U.S., Orm initiated conversations with Ling, and over the next four months, they grew closer, realizing they had so much in common. Their conversations were genuine, and without realizing it, Orm had fallen deeply for Ling. They eventually planned to meet during the summer for a beach trip, excited to spend time together. When summer came, they met again and traveled to Siargao, one of the Philippines' famous beach destinations. They didn't plan anything romantic, just a fun getaway as close friends. They spent the entire day surfing together, enjoying every moment.
