Eugene Sam Miguel was a regular guy who worked as an associate art director. He drew little to no attention and was considered a pushover by his superiors. That was before he met her. He assumed she was interested in him at first, but all she wanted was a one-night stand with him. He wasn't going to fulfil her desire; however, she wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"Eugene?"
I whispered out his name, tasting it on my lips, and he visibly shuddered.
"Yeah?"
His voice was barely audible, and I liked the control I had on him. I clasped his hands again, if that was even possible, and stared him in the eyes with determination.
"Sleep with me."

I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room.

When We Were Eighteen
"We were just eighteen-reckless, unsure, and a little broken. But we had each other." Snow Zariah Aguilar had everything planned out: graduate at the top, stay out of trouble, and never let anyone close enough to break her heart. Elijah Kane Bautista, on the other hand, was the kind of chaos Snow never expected-gentle hands, reckless love, and a past that could shatter them both. When betrayal strikes and forgiveness seems impossible, Snow walks away. But Elijah? He stays. Still proving, still loving, still choosing her every single day. Alongside their best friends-Mariah Blair De Leon, the perfectionist with a soft heart, and River Blake Cuevas, the calm storm who sees only Riah-the four navigate heartbreaks, make peace with their pasts, and discover who they truly are. When We Were Eighteen is a story about first love, found family, forgiveness, healing, and the kind of friendship that feels like home. It's about learning that being young doesn't make your feelings any less real. And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is let someone stay.Complete
