Match Point Muse

There are two things Luningning Hope Solano can't give up: her favorite steamed egg and her impossible, toxic relationship with writing.

After years of repeatedly unfinished drafts on her laptop, kasama na roon ang pag-iyak sa ilalim ng kaniyang kumot, Ningning finally gave an ultimatum to herself. Write one last book or forget her undying dream. Isa na lang. Kapag hindi niya pa natapos 'to, she'll kiss writing goodbye and move on. Maybe she'll go to law school. Or... open a sari-sari store. Basta not writing. Ever again.

But how do you write such a freaking story when your brain is empty, sometimes scrambled, and your leads all sound like dry toast? Plain na nga, wala pang personality.

She is indeed hopeless, as deemed by herself. Dahil kahit anong kalikot niya sa utak, she can't find any inspiration. Until she got hit on the head by a blasting spike of Sinoah Alvarez de Viana - a star varsity player of their university. Messy hair. Golden skin. Walking sunbeam. And a kind of charm that made her want to grab her laptop right there and then.

He's loud. He's sweaty. He spikes balls for fun. And he's unfortunately perfect for her male lead.

Ningning swears! It's all for her book. But why is it every time she sees him smile, toss, serve, and spike the ball, all she can think about is writing a slow-burn romance where he and she are the leads?

Good lawd. That's definitely not the match point muse she had in mind.
