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

Picture Picture
For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete
Go Way Back
We all have our first. Our first walk, our first cry, our first laugh, and most especially, our very first heartbeat. Falling in love is easy. However, as everyone has stated, love is like a roller coaster ride. It has the power to instantly propel you to the heartbreaking lowest point or the most breathtaking heights. We are also going to go through our first heartbreak, which will teach us that no matter how much you love someone, the more you try to hold onto them, the more probable it is that they will escape your grasp. Is it true that genuine love never fades and always finds a way back, regardless of how much time has passed? Is it true that true love never fades and always finds a way back? Is it really true that the second time around, love is sweeter?Complete
All The Colors I Never Knew
"How do you fall in love with someone you never even saw?" *** Aya lost her sight when she was a child. Since then, her world has been nothing but silence, shadows, and small spaces-trapped by poverty, grief, and dreams she never got the chance to chase. Then came Lio. A boy too bright for the darkness she learned to live with. He talks about gardens she can't see, paints colors using words, and brings sunshine through cracks she never knew were there. Aya didn't ask for hope-but Lio gave it anyway. Uninvited. Unapologetic. Unforgettable. But some lights... Don't stay long. And sometimes, the things that make you see again are the same things that leave you blind in a different way.

What once felt certain now feels distant, and the girl who used to smile without reason is learning how to start over.

This is a story of holding on and letting go, of choosing between the comfort of the past and the uncertainty of something new. And in the end, she'll have to decide - is love worth the pain of staying, or the risk of starting over?
