After their own relationships have ended, two people decided to take a breather.  Coming home and living the quiet life--a pure life--so they can individually start all over again.  But what they weren't expecting to do was to revisit what once was.  Purging oneself from a failed relationship is easy to do.  For two men who matured over the years, seeing each other again was a difficult encounter.  Theirs is a love that had its wings clipped long before it has given a chance to take flight.  Was this a sign for something much more?  Or was this a part of living the pure life, taking the good with the bad.  When their lives are entangled once again, their stories began to make sense.  Now they have answers for questions and regrets they've had before.

(COMPLETED) Dylan and EJ came from two very different worlds. Dylan was born and raised in Albay, Bicol, where he was surrounded by the familiar comforts of his school, friends, and everything he had ever known. However, the 2008 recession forced his parents to make a tough decision. They moved to Pine Hill, Manila, in search of a better future. Dylan hated the move. He felt lost and disconnected in the busy city and even more out of place at St. Michael's Catholic School, where the boys looked like models and the girls seemed straight out of high-end fashion magazines. Then he met Eric James "EJ" Medina. EJ was the school's golden boy, an overachiever who excelled at everything. He earned constant praise from teachers and admiration from classmates. But behind the accolades and perfect façade, EJ was lonely. He craved recognition and love from his parents, who always compared him to his flawless older brother. Dylan and EJ quickly became friends, but soon, Dylan found himself dealing with feelings that went beyond friendship.

When he finally confessed to Dylan, they started a secret relationship, knowing that the conservative school and EJ's parents would never accept them.

Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

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?
