Having grown up in San Francisco, Cienne Cruz and her twin sister Camille have always wondered what it'd be like to visit the Philippines. When they finally do, it isn't under circumstances that they were hoping for. Their grandmother's illness has their Mom's side of the family flocking back to Baler. 

In that quiet chill-as-can-be surfing capital, Cienne meets Vic, one of the best surf instructors around. Vic is boyish, brave, broken... and a total bully. Vic's never left the island for long: Baler-born-and-bred and for a while, this works for Cienne since Vic is a welcome guide. But after they grow close - Vic always somehow managing to give Cienne's heart the hiccups - the passing of summer and Vic's stubbornness to stay on the island becomes a problem.

Afterwards, they meet in the middle every now and then: either Cienne going back to her roots or Vic venturing out of her comfort zone. Through time, across the sea, holding on to sun-soaked memories through silly photos and ukulele serenades, Cienne and Vic will come to know what they truly mean to one another.

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing° by FallinginReverze

I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?
