"Great theory, so what's your conclusion?" I said while trying to hide the exact pain in my wounded chest.

"I'm not a fucker nor a murderer. I shouldn't be here too cause I'm not even dead." protesta niya. Pinapakinggan ko lang siya habang pinag isipang mabuti kung uubusin ko ba ang bagong schnaps na hawak ko o ibibigay ko nalang sa kanya para kahit paano kumalma man lang siya.

"Listen to me---"

"YOU." I sent a warning signal before I gulped the whole extract. "You're afraid...

...because you know that you're the Tiger" Our eyes met together with his satanic face that can't hide his angry look. "Right?" I still ask even though I witness it all.

He kept his silence.I gnashed. If I gotta gun, I'll gonna shoot his ass!

"Do you wanna be gold?" I gave some basic threats.

Amidst his denial, he still questioned me "WHY ME?"

"Remember the guy, a while ago?" patanong ko ding sagot sa kanya. "He wants to play games." sabi ko habang pinaglalaruan ang mga patak ng tubig na tumutulo sa aking daliri.

"Ayoko ng makinig sayo. Paalisin mo nalang ako dito---" I cut

"For three days. The soul of the dead body is still hovering around."

"Tumigil ka na!"

"For three days, You'll gonna play a game to extend your Ticket"

"Aalis ako dito" buong loob niyang sabi at humakbang agad palayo.

"Sell your soul for all I care." sabi ko kaya agad siyang tumigil. . I took that opportunity to go up and wear my wardrobe. "Do you think you're safe outside this Motel?" I laughed so harshly. "We both know that you're still alive because of me" I whisper a soft whinny then I go through his direction. 

I faced him and held my hand. "C'mmon, I'll gonna protect you"

Tinitigan niya lang iyon at hinayaan na hangin lang ang dumapo.

"Are you gonna argue using yung human logic?" pissed off.

He's a portmanteau of two words, a muckier and a sucker

"Leapin' Lizard!" I said in full shame.  "I'm Gold and your'e hurting my pride!

Bago pa ako magalit, narinig ko na ang usok na nagngangalit sa labas ng kwartong ito. Napatingin agad ako doon. 

Grrr. Bakit ngayon pa?

"Ano yon?" tanong niya at bakas sa mukha nito ang pagkalito.

"It's a smoke alarm." Sabi ko habang tinitingan ang mga kuko ko sa kamay.

"For what?"

"For kiss or pay"

"Kiss or pay?" nakakairitang ulit niya.

"You'll die when the smoke reach you and you're not kissing someone until the smoke was gone" I casually explained and go back through my private Jacuzzi

Narinig kong sumusunod siya mula sa likuran ko para sabihing, "May girlfriend ako" pffttt---

Nasamid ako doon. This gull is trying to steal the job of a comedian.

"Mas gusto mong mamatay ng tuluyan? Kesa humanap ng taong hahalikan?" Mas gusto mong mamatay? Kesa halikan ako?

"Why would I buy that unbelievable smoke?"

"AWWWWWW. You and your human logic are so sweet." pang aasar ko.

Pagkasabi ko noon ay parang kinarma ako agad. Napahawak nalang tuloy ako sa pader para manghingi ng suporta.

Leapin' Lizard! I forgot my Schnapps!

Grrr!

I closed my eyes and when I opened it--- I narrowed in on the question.

"Your requests are too hard. It's like commanding a left hand person to write using his other hand." I shook my head while listening to his close voice.

I wanted to protest that it wasn't a request but I couldn't. However, if it was...

Then I'll find better. The one who can use his hand, both.

Kahit na nakapikit at nahihilo na talaga ako, narinig ko pa rin ang usok na bumubulabog at mabilis na bumulusok papunta sa direksyon namin.

I miss something. Holly Griffins! I opened my eyes and looked at my Tiger. If he's really my timer and died here, the countdown of my life would stop. I'll live without any hope, endlessly...

Oh No, life is dull, this can't be!

Kaya kahit na namamanhid ang buo kong katawan, pinili kong sa leeg niya kumapit.

I move my face forward with a steaming objection. Then hold his neck together, I'll gonna control him for a hard mix kiss. 

I go close and filled his lonely lips.

Coconuts! He didn't even closed his eyes so I harshly did! His ruining my pride.

Upon smelling  the smoke, I remembered what he said before.

Happiness doesn't only cure the illness but also prevents the people from suffering.

I jerked my mouth away and pushed him solidly. I don't want to be happy...

I was about to inhale the smoke but he pulled me back. "I. don't. want. to. die," he said between the kisses. And it shocked me.

He made me lean on the floor and even though I was about to collapse he still continued doing it. Kahit na may nalalasahan akong dugo, hindi parin siya tumitigil.

"Bail me out after this" he said and made the mighty Gold inside of me, speechless,

This is a Great Trivia! A punch from a Tiger may seriously kill you, huh.
