Risa Pov:
In the past few days, Alice's determination to leave the condo remained constant, but she was unable to do so as she was handcuffed with me, and she refused to eat despite my attempts. She remained silent, constantly glaring at me with hostility. She glared at me until I had to raise my voice at her.
"punyeta alice are you thinking hindi ka nga safe don !!!!"
she fell silent when she heard me angrily shouting, then she sat on the couch and cried
I felt a pang of sadness when I saw her crying, but I realized that if I tried to console her, she would not stop insisting on leaving the condo. So, I let her cry.
"Just cry. I don't care,"
I said as I sat on the bed, watching her cry.
After a while, she ceased her tears and cast me a look filled with an inexplicable anger.
"Are you done crying? mag lunch na kaya Tayo, you might be hungry," I inquired, meeting her gaze.
She remained silent, just staring at me, so I asked her,
"Are you going to eat, or are we just going to stare at each other?"
She stood up, and so did I,we both went to the dining room, where I prepared lunch for her. The two of us ate in silence.
After we finished eating, I was about to do the dishes when she spoke up, saying,
"Ako na po Ms. Risa "
"Just stay there, you don't have to," I replied, and she sat on the couch, observing my every move.
After I finished washing the dishes, I tidied up and went to sit beside Alice.
I held her hand and looked at her, and she did the same.
"I'm sorry I raised my voice at you earlier hindi ka kase nakikinig"She smiled at me
"sorry din po galit pa kase ako sa inyo hindi po kase mawala sa Isip ko yun---"
She couldn't finish her sentence as I touched her lips and spoke,
"Si Leni ba ? I'm sorry that day I was a bit tipsy and slightly upset with you,hindi kita mayakap Then she happened to visit, and I missed you much that time, so I ended up hugging Leni instead. Don't worry, just a hug, no kiss," I chuckle
We rested our foreheads against each other.
"I love you, Alice," I whispered.
"Hmm, totoo po Yan.." she jokingly replied.
"Of course, Ikaw pa ba" I answered.
I kissed her lips, and my hands gently rested on her waist. We felt each other's presence, the gentle breeze, and the quietness of the condo
We paused our kissing until we ran out of breath. She rested her head on my chest, and I gently stroked her hair
"Alice, stay here for now to stay safe," I whispered into her ear
She nodded as response.
In a sudden moment, the sound of the doorbell interrupted our quietness, prompting me to leave Alice on the couch momentarily.
"Alice, just hold on for a moment. I'll go see who it is,"
I assured her, to which she nodded in understanding.
Upon opening the door, I was taken aback to find my friend Loren standing there. I tried to block her entry, but she playfully pushed past me.
"Risa dear,tumabi ka papasok Ako, Don't you miss your prttyy best friend?"
she teased, gesturing for a hug
Suddenly, I noticed Alice heading to the kitchen to get water. When she returned, I signaled for her to hide where Loren couldn't see her.
I hugged Loren to prevent her from looking around for Alice.
Quickly, Alice hid in the restroom, which was beside the kitchen.
I seated Loren on the couch in the living room and briefly left her to prepare a snack.
"Loren, would you like me to prepare a snack for you?" I asked, and she nodded.
After preparing it, I brought it to her and set it in front of her. Suddenly, she asked
"Dear, whose lipstick is that?" with a hint of doubt, referring to Alice's lipstick that she found lying around.
"Oh, that's mine," quickly picking it up and handing it to her.
She looked at me with a doubtful expression.
"Hmmm, I know all the lipstick brands you use. That one isn't yours, dear."
"I switched brands,"
I replied, slightly annoyed. She believed me immediately, but I couldn't shake the feeling that she still had doubts.
"So ano na ang balita Sa Mayor Ng Bamban Meron ka na bang findings dear " Loren ask
"Ah wala pa I'll wait nalang sa mga NBI "

Time skip
We had a lengthy conversation discussing the investigations and the upcoming hearing until she mentioned needing to use the restroom.
"Dear, I need to go to the cr" she said.
She was about to stand up, but I blocked her path.
"Ah, Loren, the bathroom hasn't been cleaned yet,eh "
I said, sweating profusely, afraid she might see Alice.
"It's okay, dear, I'm not picky,"
she assured me, gently pushing me aside and heading towards the cr.
I blocked her again,
"Loren, may daga kase diyan that hasn't been caught yet," I nervously mentioned.
"I really need to pee, tumabi ka nga dear"
she pushed me, entering the bathroom.
I was anxious she might scream if she saw Alice, but after a while, I didn't hear any complaints, so my heart rate returned to normal.
While Loren was in the bathroom, I felt someone hand wrapped in my waist, and it was Alice.
"Alice, hide," I whispered , and she smirked before finding a place to hide.
After Loren finished using the cr, we returned to the living room, but her phone started ringing, so she answered it. After the call, she excused herself as she had an important appointment.
"Dear, aalis na ako, Thank you for the snack,"
"Buti naman" I murmur
"Ah,Ano dear? You seem to be saying something," she asked.
"Ah, nothing. Take care," I replied.
We exchanged cheek kisses, and I escorted her to the door.
After closing the door
I went to where Alice was hiding and saw her struggling getting out from under the bed.
"Dito ka pala nagtago Huh" I said, peeking at her as she struggled underneath.
"Opoo hirap na hirap po akong sumiksik"
I giggled loudly and helped her get out from under the bed.
