A.Z. ICAMEN

What started as a prank to shut friends up from their teasing resulted into an interesting turn of events for Luke and Mace. All it took was one smile, one laugh and one look from the "Miss Plain Jane" of their group to turn the "ruggedly cute" boy's world upside down.

But as a realist who analyzes people's actions to the tiniest detail, Mace isn't exactly the type of girl who is easily swept off her feet. And Luke, for all his good looks, isn't exactly smooth when it comes to confessing his feelings either. 

Will Luke be able to show Mace his sincerity? How will Mace gauge the depth of how Luke feels? And casting all these issues aside, will these two ever find their way to each other?

It's the summer of 1995 and this is the start of their love story.

Once Upon A Summer Day

I looked back at Luke’s happy face and huge smile after I said my “sweet, sweet” yes and gave out an equally happy sigh. There’s no point in denying that I don’t feel the same way he does. I’m elated and with every expression that he gave, I’m getting higher and higher up in the clouds. 


After an hour of more talking, confessing, holding hands, and basically just being close to each other, we decided it’s time to head back. 


Luke walked me home, declaring that as my boyfriend, it is now his duty to make sure that I get back safe and sound. With this as the first of his many responsibilities, he solemnly said he’ll do his part in ensuring that I’ll get the best TLC a girlfriend could ask for. 


I laughed out loud when he said that, which caused him to look down at me as we were walking, his arms wrapped around my shoulders. 


“Why do you laugh Mace?” he asked raising his eyebrows. “Do you not believe in my capabilities?”
