Dear God, please give me strength when I am weak, love when I feel forsaken, courage when I am afraid, wisdom when I feel foolish, comfort when I am alone, hope when I feel rejected, and peace when I am in turmoil.
Amen.
Risa POV
Alice and I opted to head to Baguio for some relaxation due to our busy schedules lately. Now I'm packing our clothes because Alice is still in the meeting. This is going to be our out-of-town trip this year because these past few months were really busy.
"Mahal?" Alice called me, I didn't notice that she's already here, maybe I was too busy packing our clothes.
"Yes? Nandito kana pala." I greeted her with a smile and embraced her tightly because I have been longing for her presence.
"Okay na yung mga damit?" She smiled at me while caressing my hair.
"Opo." When I am in a Senate hearing, I appear very intimidating, but when it comes to her, I am like a baby. She always makes me kilig.
"Shower na muna ako, love." She said and squeezed my cheeks.
"Di ako kasama?" I pouted.
"Madali lang naman ako, love." Despite her reassurances, I crossed my arms and sulked.
"That means hindi mo na ako love." I used a gentle, child-like voice.
"What? Gosh Theresia, I love you a lot. I am going to take a shower now, okay?" She tried to persuade me by squeezing my shoulder.
"Ayoko! Wag ka maliligo! Di naman ako kasama e!" I folded my arms once more and pouted.
"Baby, calm down." Whenever she refers to me as "baby," my mind goes completely blank, and I find it very enticing.
"Kasi, hindi naman ako sanay na naliligo ka tas di ako kasama." I pouted.
"Madali lang, okay?" She attempts to reassure me again, and after her efforts, I nod and smile in agreement.
I packed our clothes once more, along with my strap and some vibratos in my bag. We are going to have a fun time, truly enjoyable. After packing our clothes and equipment, I lay to our bed and then checked my Facebook account. However, I felt bored, so I decided to turn off my phone. I noticed Alice's phone on the table next to me and saw that her wallpaper featured a Chinese actor, which made me jealous. I was tempted to throw her phone, but fortunately, I managed to control myself.
"Baby, I'm done na. Hindi kapa nakabihis? Aalis na tayo." While brushing her hair, she asked me, but I chose to ignore her as I was feeling quite irritated. She walked closer to me then stared.
"Pst! You're not nakikinig na naman sakin ah. What's your problem na naman ba?" She gently tapped me, but I decided to ignore her again.
"Ana theresia." She called me once more, using my full name. I can tell that she is becoming angry.
"Ano?" I stated firmly, with my arms crossed.
"What is the problem? Please be clear and stop confusing me." She said seriously, and it really scared.
"Wala." I rolled my eyes at her, then got up on the bed to change my clothes.
"Okay." She simply said. I thought she was going to suyo me, but she simply walked to the door and went downstairs. I let out a sigh and pouted. Once I changed my clothes, I grabbed our bags, headed downstairs, and didn't see her in the living room. I thought she might be in the car, so I went outside and found her relaxing next to our car. I walked closer to the trunk and placed our bags there.
