"Pretty Little Promise's"

Chapter 22 Bathrobe

Risa Pov:

It was 9:00 PM when we finally made it back to the condo, Alice and I both buzzing from a day filled with exhilarating adventures. We each retreated to our rooms, eager to unwind.

"Haysst," I sighed, letting myself sink into the plush comfort of my bed. I couldn't shake the feeling of being incomplete, a sense of longing for the familiar warmth of Shiella's presence.

"how is Shiella na kaya" I murmured to myself, a faint ache settling in my chest.

I reached for my phone and dialed her number.
"Hello, love," I greeted her, my voice echoing with a quiet yearning.

"Hi Masaya Ang Araw love?" Shiella asked, her voice a melody that instantly lifted my spirits.

"opo Ganda tulad mo" I replied, unable to resist a playful tease.

"Hmmpp," she chuckled, her laughter like sunshine breaking through the clouds.

"Love you," I whispered, my voice a soft caress.

"Love you too," she responded, her words laced with sweetness.

"baka may Crush ka Ng Iba diyan ha nakakalimutan mo na ako?" I asked, my voice tinged with playful worry.

"oh Ano Naman kung meron?" she said, her tone laced with a hint of amusement.

"Hmm Wala , ....okay Sige na nga Wala ngang Tayo but I love you " I said, trying to sound lighthearted, but my voice betrayed a flicker of insecurity.

"Hmm, love," she said gently.
"Hindi naman Kita kinakalimutan"

"Okay, okay, I just..." I trailed off, a wave of warmth spreading through me as I listened to her voice. She had a way of calming my worries, reassuring me with her gentle words and sweet, teasing tone.

"Namimiss nakita" she said, her voice softening. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, love," I replied, my heart swelling with affection.

Suddenly, I heard a knock at my door. "Love, hold on a sec, I'll be right back," I said to Shiella, my curiosity piqued.

"Okay, love," she replied, her voice filled with a touch of playful curiosity.

I opened the door to find Alice standing there, holding a bathrobe and a bottle of shampoo.

"Ms. Risa?" she said, her voice a little hesitant.

"Yes?" I replied, my gaze falling on the bathrobe and shampoo. "What's up?"

"Uhm, uh... Pwede Po bang makiligo Sa bathroom mo Po Kase walang nalabas na tubig Sa shower ko Po.. " she explained, her cheeks flushing a delicate pink.

"Oh, no water? That's a bummer," I said, my heart softening with sympathy. "Come in, of course, you can use my bathroom." I stepped aside, motioning for her to enter.

"Thank you poo.." she said, her voice filled with gratitude.

As Alice walked into my room, her gaze flickered towards the bed, where I had been speaking to Shiella just moments ago.

"You can use anything you need in there," I said, pointing towards the bathroom. "I'm sure you'll find everything you need."

"Yes,Po... thanks..." she replied, her eyes still lingering on the bed for a moment, before finally turning to the bathroom.
