Acostarme con mi mejor amigo fue algo que no debería haber ocurrido. Nos hicimos una promesa cuando éramos jóvenes, pero la promesa fue olvidada hace mucho tiempo, al menos por él, pero no por mí. Yo no olvidé que era mi príncipe azul. Salía con chicas, cosa que no me importaba porque yo aún era menor de edad. Dormíamos en la misma cama hasta el día de hoy, pero nunca cruzamos la línea. El problema comenzó cuando su prometida no se presentó a su boda, y tuve que jugar a ser su novia por el día solo para salvar las apariencias. Esa fue la fecha en que todo cambió. Tuvimos la noche más caliente y me dijo que no debería haber pasado porque estaba saliendo con mi mejor amiga, Candice. Eso me golpeó en las tripas. Debería haber sabido que nuestras promesas estaban fuera de lugar. Debería haber sabido que nuestras promesas fueron olvidadas hace mucho tiempo. Eso duele, pero nada duele más que descubrir que estás embarazada del hijo de tu mejor amiga y no puedes decírselo porque está enamorado de tu amiga.

Si Lucky ay NBSB, at isang matagumpay na manunulat ng erotika. Lumaki siyang malaya at may sariling kakayahan kahit na ipinanganak siya sa isang mayamang pamilya. Siya ay kontento na sa kanyang dalawampu't walong taong pag-iral. Gayunpaman, umabot siya sa punto ng kanyang buhay na nais niyang magkaroon ng anak. Nasa tamang edad na si Lucky; marami na siyang naipon na pera at may sariling bahay. Ito rin ang paulit-ulit na hinihiling ng kanyang mga magulang. Isa lang ang problema ni Lucky: dumaranas siya ng genophobia, isang mental health disorder na nailalarawan sa pamamagitan ng takot sa sekswal na intimacy. Walang ibang nakakaalam sa kalagayan niya bukod sa matalik niyang kaibigan na si Genesis. Maging ang sariling pamilya ay walang kamalay-malay dahil natatakot siyang kutyain ng iba ang kanyang kalagayan; kaya, hindi solusyon ang pag-ampon sa kanyang pagnanais na magkaroon ng anak. Isang opsyon lang ang maiisip niya: IUI, isang medikal na pamamaraan kung saan direktang itinatanim ang sp*rm ng isang lalaking donor sa matris ng babae. Sinabi ni Lucky kay Genesis ang tungkol sa kanyang plano, at sinuportahan siya ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan; gayunpaman, nang sabihin niya na gusto niyang si Genesis ang kanyang sp*rm donor, tumanggi ang lalaki, na sinasabing ayaw niyang managot sa sinumang babae, lalo na kay Lucky. May paraan na, pero hindi inasahan ni Lucky na mahihirapan siyang kumbinsihin ang matalik na kaibigan, kaya naman gumawa ng krimen si Lucky isang gabi matapos makipagtalik si Genesis sa kanyang flavor of the month; ninakaw niya ang ginamit na condom ni Genesis. Magtatagumpay kaya ang insemation ni Lucky? Ano ang mangyayari sa pagkakaibigan nila ni Genesis dahil sa makasarili niyang desisyon? Mawawasak ba sila o may bagong pag-ibig ang uusbong sa panahong sinubok ang kanilang pagkakaibigan.
