Last Call for Runaways
Amelia Ricalde was supposed to say "I do."
Instead, she jumped out a window, landed in a dumpster, and crash-landed into The Backroom Saints - a half-functional dive bar run by Rue Lim, a bartender who makes bad drinks and even worse decisions.
Now stranded in Manila with nothing but a ripped wedding dress and a panic attack, Amelia ends up sleeping on Rue's busted sofa. Rue figures she'll be gone by morning.
She isn't.
Between spilled cocktails, neon lights, and arguments about cocktail shakers, the runaway bride and the emotionally unavailable bartender start accidentally rebuilding each other's lives - one disaster at a time.
But when Amelia's past comes knocking, she'll have to choose: the perfect life she escaped, or the beautiful, chaotic one she's built behind the bar.
A story about heartbreak, healing, and second chances in the glow of a dying neon sign -
Last Call for Runaways is a WLW slow burn about falling apart, falling in love, and learning that the best beginnings often start with a bad decision.

Between Diapers and Living Room Confessions
Mikha Lim never planned to move in with Maloi Ricalde. In fact, she had never even met her. But when Mikha's family home in Batangas undergoes a full renovation-and her parents conveniently jet off abroad-she finds herself crashing in Maloi's upscale BGC townhouse. What Mikha doesn't know? Maloi isn't just living alone. She's raising Malcolm Jaeger, her two-month-old adopted son. What starts as an awkward, temporary arrangement quickly turns into late-night baby feedings, shared coffee in the mornings, and quiet talks in the living room when the world feels asleep. Friends drop by, siblings visit, and chaos unfolds in malls, beaches, and grocery aisles. Somewhere between diaper changes and accidental heart-to-hearts, the lines between guest and something more start to blur. But with Mikha's family house nearly ready, reality sets in: she was always supposed to leave. And now, both of them have to figure out if what they've built is just a temporary comfort... or the beginning of a home neither expected to find. A slow-burn, WLW rom-com with a touch of drama, Between Diapers and Living Room Confessions is a modern love story about found family, everyday chaos, and the moments that quietly change everything.Concluida

Oblivion and Echoes
In the heart of Manila, where neon nights blur into heavy mornings, Mikha Lim lives two lives. By day, she is a razor-sharp lawyer feared in court. By night, she hides behind the neon glow of her bar-an escape she refuses to name. Maloi Ricalde, an indie singer-songwriter, drifts through cafés and dimly lit gigs, piecing herself together with lyrics and sketches no one else sees. Their worlds aren't meant to collide.

Oblivion & Echoes is a slow-burning story of intimacy, betrayal, and the dangerous gravity of unspoken feelings. ⚠️ Content Warning: Contains mature themes: WLW romance (f/f dynamic) Emotional conflict, betrayal, and vulnerability Nightlife, drinking, and smoking Taglish dialogue with profanity Explicit/NSFW content in later chapters Reader discretion advised.Concluida
I'm Sorry (Watty Nominated 2019)
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for being so emotional all the time. I'm sorry for hurting myself the way i do. I'm sorry for pushing everyone away. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for making you hate me. I'm sorry for being here. I'm sorry for existing. I'm sorry for being the way i am. I'm sorry for being me." Amelia Cunningham. Epitome of Social Outcast. No friends. Just her trusty diary and occasional panic attacks. She is the perfect student, perfect daughter. She smiles like the sun shines down just for her, but nobody knows how broken she really is. Nobody sees the cracks and cuts beneath the beautiful facade she puts up. Nobody but Nikolai. And he might just be able to save her from herself. Because he believes that he's been given a second chance to save someone like her for a reason. And he would make sure he saves her no matter what.Concluida![Good Luck, Babe! [Macolet AU]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/369812290-256-k894726.jpg)

Love on Trial
A'ishah stood out in the vibrant city of Manila, not just because she was new, but because her calm demeanor suggests that her poise and serenity are so exceptional that they seem almost too perfect for this world, giving her an almost magical, out of this world beauty. Fresh from London, she moved to the Philippines to take care of her mother, a woman broken by her own husband and now clinging to A'ishah for emotional support. Despite her mother's demands and the weight of these expectations, A'ishah remained a picture of grace and composure. But underneath her serene exterior, A'ishah was struggling. She felt trapped in a cycle of trying to be perfect for her mother, while longing for the freedom to live her own life. It was a tough balancing act, made harder by her mother's relentless need for control. Despite feeling drained, A'ishah held on, buoyed by the love of her supportive best friend who always got her back, Nicole. Nicole is A'ishah's childhood best friend, who was more like a sister and a role model for her. Nicole introduced A'ishah to her circle of friends, and that's when things began to change. These new friends brought warmth and laughter into A'ishah's life, especially Maxine, who was her complete opposite: lovely, chatty, and full of care. Maxine was like a burst of sunshine in A'ishah's previously gloomy world. With each day, A'ishah found herself looking forward to spending time with her new friends. They were helping her rediscover joy and giving her a glimpse of a happier, more fulfilling life. For the first time in a while, she felt like she was on the path to not just surviving but truly living. But everything has an end. An end for all the pain she's going through. But also an end for everything she started to love too. But how can she be selfish? Should she choose the chance to fix their family and leave the life she grew to love with Maxine, or... Just stay. Stay and... work things out.Concluida
