23: a nap wouldn't be bad

RYU

"Stop dragging me you evil smirking sexy man!" titless shouted as she pulled away from my grip but to no use. She's high as kite, her force is coming from little to none.

Ah, since Cooler left she keeps on telling me I'm hot, I'm sexy and everything but my smirk demerits it all. I forgot to mention she's becoming verbally horny when high.

More reason to keep my cousin away from her.

“Roooocket where are you taking meee?” she asked, singing her words.

“Home.”

“Noooo,” she tried to pull away again but her strength were like of a kid. “Ayaw kong umuwi. Hihintayin ko si Coooo---”

“You’re going home.”

“Noooo.”

“Just go.”

“No!” she shouted and pulled away again. Nang tumingin ako sa kamay niya ay namumula na iyon. Probably because of my tight grip but she’s to blame for it. Siya ang nanlaban at nagpumilit na kumawala. She suddenly projected a sad face with her annoying pout. “Bakit ba pinipilit mo akong umuwi? Gusto ko lang namang manatili rito at hintayin si Cooler.”

“He’s not coming back,” I said without remorse.

Of course, Cooler will be back. He’s a gentleman and known to keep deals and promises. Pero hindi ko alam bakit ayaw kong paghintayin siya kay Cooler.

Maybe her presence annoys the hell out of me.

Her flat figure is a sore to the eye.

She’s a total pain in the ass... so I prefer her to leave my cousin alone.

“I know he will,” she said with determination.

“No.”

But Titless sounded so sure. “He. Will.”

I cocked a brow. “What made you think he will come back?”

Though her face looks cloudy, she had that mischievous look in her face. “Because if he’s not coming back, your balls are at risk.”

Napakunot ang noo ko at inisip kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin. I didn’t have much time to think when she suddenly pulled a gun from her side. Nakilala ko agad ang baril na iyon. It was the one owned by Eros.

“Your guy is an idiot, hindi man lamang niya naramdaman na kinuha ko ang baril niya,” she said with a smirk. Her eyes were drowsy but her tight grip on the gun was steady. Mukhang lango pa rin siya sa epekto ng droga sa sistema niya pero mahigpit ang hawak niya sa baril.

I sighed. “You’re an idiot too,” wika ko at inangat ang palapulsuhan niya upang makita niya ang baril na hawak. “It’s not loaded with bullets.”

Mapapansin ang pagkainis sa mukha niya. She didn't even notice that the gun's magazine wasn't there.

But then she swiftly move for an attack. “But a gun is still a gun!” Sinubukan niya akong hampasin ngunit mabilis na pinulupot ko ang braso sa leeg niya, twisting her hand a bit kaya nabitawan niya iyon.

“And high titless is still high,” sagot ko. She underestimated our reapers. Eros and Hermes are one of the best reapers we got so if she thinks obtaining the gun is enough, she has to think twice.

Tila walang lakas na napasandal siya sa pader, pouting her way down the floor. "...but I want a date."

I brushed my fingers on my hair, watching her sulked on the side. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naiinis ako sa mga sandaling ito but fine. She had the trouble of drugging herself just so she could be of help, ano nga lang ba ang gusto niyang makasama si Cooler?

Besides, Cooler agreed.

It pissed me off, yes but fine.

I sighed a bit. "Fine, wait for him."

Tinalikuran ko siya ngunit agad niya akong hinablot sa braso. "Wait, can I stay in your room as I wait for him?"

She had that begging look in her eyes. She's annoying, okay, even more annoying when she let that look out.

Then she pouted. "I won't be much of a hassle rocket," sabi niya at itinaas ang isang kamay na tila ba nangangako. "I will stay silent and will sit on the side. Please?"

Damn it, I hate it even more.

Fine.

Dinala ko siya sa isa sa mga silid ko. Like she promised, nanatili siyang tahimik sa isang sulok, blinking on the wall. Meh, anong klaseng droga ba ang nasa sistema niya ngayon? When is it taking off? I ignored here and worked on my computer.

It's been half an hour already but still no Cooler around, which is understandable. Malamang mayroon pang ibinilin sa kanya si Cronus. Isa pa ay hindi maganda ang sitwasyon. The congressman was dead on arrival. Cronus is probably planning for another way to stop the delay in our operations.

And titless here seems eager to wait. She sat on the bed, leaning on the headboard with her back facing me. Abala naman ako sa ginagawa ko sa computer at manakanakang sinusulyapan siya. She remained seated, unmoving. Another 30 minutes passed at hindi pa rin siya gumagalaw kaya tumayo ako at tiningnan siya-- only to find her sleeping in a sitting position.

What the hell?

That explains why she wasn't much of an annoyance for the past hour. Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako at tinanggal ko ang suot na eyeglasses bago siya binuhat upang ihiga nang maayos.

She curled up a bit and mumbled something in her sleep before hugging a pillow and continued her slumber. Kahit ilang saglit lamang, I figured out titless could be less annoying especially when she's passed out or asleep like this.

Staring at her like this makes me yawn too.

I guess a nap wouldn't be bad.

Hinawi ko ang comforter ang pumwesto sa kabilang bahagi ng kama. Ilang minuto lamang ay tuluyan na akong hinatak ng antok.

Pi

The reaper girl I met who pulled the bullet from my arm before stood with surprise in her face. "Oh the Bellomo princess! Hi!"

I mentally rolled my eyes. I really hate it when I'm addressed like that. If only she's not dangerous, I would have shoot her in the face.

Marahil ay napansin niya ang inis ko kaya binati niya ako ulit. "I mean Pi. Hello there!"

I raised a hand. "Hi."

"You're here again?"

Obviously, duh. "Uhm, yeah?"

"So where's my cousin, your rocket?" she asked and I almost cringed.

YOUR ROCKET. Ew.

But no, I'm not telling her.

"Uhm, upstairs."

She offered me her cookies. "Want some?"

Kumuha naman ako at sinubo iyon. Actually, kaya ako bumaba mula sa silid ni Rocket ay dahil nagugutom ako. I'm less high than I was about two hours ago... Siguro ay side effect na niyon ang gutom na nararamdaman ko ngayon.

"Thanks, but I also want real food. Could you help me with some?" tanong ko sa kanya.

She smiled and put down her plate of cookies para tulungan akong kumuha ng pagkain. "Sure, what do you want to eat?"

"Anything."

Tinanaw ko siyang maghanda ng pagkain ko, fingers crossing at my back. Sana lamang ay huwag na siyang mag-usisa tungkol kay rocket.

"So... What brings you here again?" tanong niya. "Is Ryu befriending you?"

I shook my head. "Actually, mahabang kwento but to make it short I'm waiting for Cooler for our deal. He said he will come back."

Her lips formed an oh as she puts so much food on the plate. "So... It's you, ikaw pala ang pinag-uusapan nina Eros kanina."

I scowled. "I hope it's not some worst gossip."

She laughed heartily. "Well, not really. They're surprise by your weirdness. Sabi nila ay hindi ka man lamang nagpanic nang makidnap ka."

I grinned. "Because it's a blessing in disguise, oh, I do not eat that one so please skip it..." I pointed on the food bago nagpatuloy. "Bakit ako magpapanic kung si Cooler naman pala?"

"Oh, sabagay." She said, handing me the plate.

Please do not ask where's Rocket.

Please do not ask where's Rocket.

Please do not ask where's Rocket.

Please do not ask where's Rocket.

"So, nasaan na si Ryu, bakit ka niya hinayaang magutom?" tanong niya.

Well shit.

I think I'll just dodge such question.

"I tend to get so hungry when drugged kaya malamang mauubos ko 'yan. Thanks reaper girl!" Kukunin ko na sana ang plato mula sa kanya ngunit inilayo niya iyon.

She looked at me with suspicion in her eyes. "Where's Ryu?"

I pouted. "I'm hungry."

Her eyes turned menacingly thin. "Where's Ryu?!"

Hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili na paikutin ang eyeballs ko. "Geez, calm your tits reaper girl, he's upstairs okay? In his room. Now give me my food, fuck it I am so fucking hungry."

Damn, the woman was determined to let me starve to death. Her other hand gripped my arm, samantalang hawak pa rin niya sa kabilang kamay ang platong naglalaman ng pagkain na para sana sa akin. She forcefully pulled me upstairs and since I was still a bit under the influence of the damn drug, I have no choice but to follow her.

Plus, I'm telling you it's hard to resist and go hard to this reaper girl. Halos kaladkarin na niya ako paakyat ng hagdan. How many times do my lovely ass needs to be dragged by these people? Kanina ay si Rocket, ngayon naman ay siya. What the hell is wrong with them.

I wish we could reach Rocket's damn room in a blink of an eye because fuck everything, I am nothing but a hungry woman right now.

Unfortunately it took us almost a minute or two nang marating namin ang silid. Reaper girl kicked the door and it miraculously opened like goons and police does in movies.

And there.

Kung hindi lang ako naging mabilis at nahawakan agad ang plato, malamang naibagsak na iyon ni reaper girl. If so, I would go hungry even more.

Her mouth gaped open as she watched rocket on the bed, tied and gagged. He wriggled on the bed at tila hayop na nagpupumilit na kumawala sa pagkakatali habang nanlilisik ang mga matang nakatingin sa akin.

I grinned at him and took a bite on the porkchop.

Yum yum yum yum yum.

"What the hell did you do Pi?!" hindi makapaniwalang bulalas ni reaper girl.

"Uh, tied and gagged him..."

Agad siyang lumapit kay Rocket at tinanggal ang necktie na binusal ko sa bibig nito. Series of cuss and swears filled the room after that. Uh, I forgot to tell her na huling tanggalin ang busal nito.

"WHAT THE FUCK TITLESS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?! WHY DID YOU FUCKING TIE AND GAGGED ME?! HIGH OR NAH, I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET MY GUARDS DOWN DAMN IT YOU ARE CRAZY!"

I chewed on my food as I sat on his swivel chair. "Ah, he's so noisy sana hindi mo muna tinanggal ang busal niya."

Parehas silang napamura ngunit mayamaya ay natawa na lamang si reaper girl habang tinatanggal ang sandamakmak na cable tie na tinali ko kay rocket.

"Why did you tie him?" she asked in between her laughters.

"Uh, because he has tons of cable tie that I could use?..."

"Seriously that is your reason?" tila hindi siya kumbinsido.

"Well that's my revenge too. Gusto na niya akong umuwi, haller I have a date why would I need to go hom-- hold up. Oh shit! I remembered something!" bulalas ko at ibinaba ang plato.

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin tapos si reaper girl sa pagtanggal sa cable tie at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin tapos sa pagmumura si Rocket.

"Bakit ang dami ng tinali mo?" reaper girl asked. "And where's your scissors or anything sharp couz?"

"On the drawer!" annoyed na sagot ni Rocket. He looked really pissed right now.

Agad na binuksan ni reaper girl ang lahat ng drawer but she found none. "Wala kang gunting couz."

"DAMN IT! THEN USE A KNIFE! THERE'S ONE UNDER MY TABLE!"

Kinapa naman ni reaper girl ang ilalim ng mesa but still, there were none.

"Wala rin couz."

"DAMN IT WHERE DID IT ALL GO?!" Sigaw ni rocket.

I raised a hand. "Uh, I tossed them all on the window. Anyway, I just remembered I really need to go home. I cannot just go on a date in these clothes uh-uh. I need a full preparation for our first date! Bye food, bye reaper girl, bye Rocket! See yah later!"

Agad akong lumabas doon, not minding rocket's endless calls of anger.
