THE GAP BETWEEN US

PART-11 R pov

Risa Pov:
when I took alice to her condo, I went home smiling and feeling that I had the happiest night. I can't even tell her how I feel but one day I'll admit it and there's nothing to hide.

I immediately texted Alice when I got home

after that I took a shower and and put on my pajama wear, I walked to the bed and laid down
I sigh "when will she be mine,it seems impossible for her to be mine" I shook my head

while thinking about her I fell asleep all night

-----------------✂️
I woke up early and didn't have breakfast because I went straight to the senate hearing for PAGCOR, I doubt PAGCOR so we have also investigated that it might be connected to POGO of Bamban Tarlac.

I was with the other senators Imee Marcos, Jinggoy Estrada, Chiz Escudero, Nancy Binay in the PAGCOR investigation

It was about 4:30 when the senate hearing ended , I shook hands with my fellow senators "Sa Susunod ulit"
I went straight to my office to rest for a while, I sat on the chair and leaned my head, I breathed deeply and suddenly I remembered the scenarios that happened with Alice last night, I smiled at this time until I fell asleep completely in my office, I only woke up when someone knocked on the door, "Pasokkk..."

the door opened and I saw the body guard in my office
"Ma'am di pa po kayo uuwi? 8:30 na po kanina pa po kayo tulog"

I looked at my watch and I was shock " gashhh "

I slept for 4 hours. I hurriedly put my things away and told the body guard to close the door.

Time Skip

while I was driving home, my head hurt, maybe because I was tired when igot home , i went in and I was surprised to see Alice in the living room sitting and bent down

" Is that Alice? Why did she come here" I walked towards her and lifted her chin to look at me

I looked at her narrowed eyes when at that moment tears suddenly fell from her eyes, I wiped them with my fingers and also I tucked her hair "Why are you crying"?

"Ms.Risa nag filed po ng kaso ang PAOC laban sakin"
she couldn't say her words properly cause she was sobbing

I sat next to her and leaned her head on my shoulder "Don't worry we will fight it with you as long as you tell the truth Alice"
shes sobbing softly so i rubbed her back to calm her down from crying, I got water in the kitchen, when she stopped
"Okay kana"? I sat next to her
"Dipa parin po can I hug you pooo.."? she ask

I nodded and she came to me closer and hugged me tightly, I could feel every breath she took hitting my chest , so I hugged her tightly too.
I smelled her hair Smelling of Vanilla perfume and caressed her back slowly, in the moments when we hug each other, my heart beats so fast that I can't explain the feeling
We hugged for about 39 minutes. And I felt that Alice was dozing from hugging me, I patted her slowly and thankfully she woke up
"Sorry po ms.risa nakaidlip po ako"
"You might want to sleep here"I jokingly said

she giggled "Gusto mo lang po ako matabi eh"
I pinched her nose "Ikaw Talaga alice" chuckling

"Ah Ms.risa uwi na po ako Kase kanina pa po akong 6:39 andito inaantay ko po kayo , bat po late kayo Umuwi"?

" I slept 4hours Sa office I didn't expect may chinita pala akong naghihintay dito" I noticed she was blushing a little

" Your blushing right Alice"? "ah ahhmm hindi po " she deny it

" In denial ka pa Mayor I saw your cheeks turning red" she smiled at me and I offered her dinner here before going home

"Mamaya ka na umuwi and have dinner na Dito Alice"
"Huwag na po Ms. Risa uuwi na po ako thank you po sa pag comfort"

She got up from sitting and was about to leave when I pulled her one hand, the reason why she fell on me, our faces were close at that moment, our lips were only 1 inches apart, my heart was also beating fast and shaking my hands are trembling.
she suddenly spoke "Kakain na po ako dito Ms. Risa kaysa matunaw pa Ako Sa tingin mo"
i back to my senses when i heard that, i was ashamed of her for pulling her hand.
suddenly my maid came to us
"Ma'am handa na po Ang dinner nakahaain na Po"

I look at alice "you heard that dinner is already served, so there's no reason why you shouldn't eat here"
I stood up from sitting and dragged her to the dining room to eat. we had a chit chat while eating at moments

when we finished eating, she decided to go home, and I took her outside the house until she could get in the car

"Bye po Ms. Risa sa susunod po huwag mo po akong hahatakin kundiii, I cut her words
"Kundi ano Ms.Alice Guo"? wala po sabi ko po uwi na ako
We Giggled
"drive safely alice keep your eyes on the road huwag sa Iba tumingin" "opo sayo lang Po" she mumur

" Ah aano alice"?
" uwi na po ako ms.risa"
she start the engine
she didn't notice that I was blushing at that time
