    Summary

    “Where the hell is my coffee?!,” CEO and President of one of the biggest magazine companies in the Philippines, Sophia Elizabeth Guevara Laforteza bursts out of her office with smoke coming out of her ears. Outside of her door, Manon Bannerman stands, holding the steaming cup that Ms. Laforteza’s (former) employee handed her in distress.

    Slowly, she takes a sip of the coffee – Sophia’s morning coffee – without breaking eye contact. “Don't ask me. I’m not your assistant.”

    Meret Manon Sarpong Bannerman, a company import from Zurich as the Interim Co-CEO, arrives like a storm. Her job: save the company and put Sophia Laforteza in her place.

    (or what if twilight lover manon was also obsessed with filipino rom coms. walk with me.)

    Summary

    "You're unbelievable." She said in soft astonishment. She stared at Emma so warmly that the blonde found herself blushing.

    "What do you mean?"

    Regina let out something between a scoff and a giggle as she tilted her head thoughtfully. "I can't believe you're giving up your Christmas wish for my daughter."

    "Well, it was your fault really. You can't just show me a picture of a kid that cute in a conductor's hat, tell me about her love for trains, and then expect me not to act on it."

    My first crack at a Christmas fic.

    Summary

    It’s not every day a boy with floppy brown hair asks to sit with you.

    The cafe around her bustles with an obscene amount of people, considering she purposely comes early for peace. bodies on bodies pile, and trying to get a seat is a dime-a-dozen; she doesn’t know why she looks up at the door.

    She doesn’t know why she keeps staring at the guy with a funny tie that is barely tied as he rushes to order with his hand furiously running through his hair. She doesn’t know why she doesn’t look away when he senses someone looking at her. They lock eyes. She cannot tell you why she lets him sit across from her. let alone why, she keeps letting it happen. Don’t even try to get her to explain why she chooses him, of all people to fall in love with.

    Or.

    In which the swoon-worthy aspiring actress, Gina Porter, and the jumbled mess of nerves, middle school teacher, Ricky Bowen, meet at a coffee shop. And that meeting was the only simple part of everything.
