I'm counting this money with money counting machines that I borrowed from my friend, he is the loyal one, "you should take a rest, Lobak" we using video call to communicate with each other, "yeah I know. It's 25% progress," I'm yawning.
"You sleepy," I chuckle, "so do you," she laughs, "you know, my mom asking will you come here this Friday," I nodded. "I will come, but I'm not promise anything," she nods. "Who are you talking to?" I heard Mrs. May's voice, "hi, Mrs. Mary, how are you today?" I write down the numbers.
"The rumor about you never missed," I giggled, "So, what's your plan?" I rub my eyes, "I wanted to pay all the people on this list, compensation to the family, and returned the money to the investors" she nods. "She will deliver your money?" I shook my head, "it was ready for a couple of days, and I don't want your daughter to deliver the money because it would risk her life. And I'm afraid if she gets hurt," she nods.
"You not write a check?" I nodded, "that's the plan, ma'am. But, we haven't opened a company bank account yet. Honestly, I don't trust banks these days," she nods. "Your money will disappear." What I will do is, one, put my shoes on, and we can go to the Swiss Bank, or Panama Bank, or whatever bank that cartel use to save their money.
"So, how's the total?" I sighed, "50 trillion, it's including they were scamming bank, and insurance," she nods, "you will return all of them?" I nodded, "that's why I don't want Rose to get involved, ma'am. I was afraid she attacked too," she hums.
"Well, I guess my daughter misses you. She is upset when I interrupt her calls." I chuckle. "Stop it!" I'm smiling. I miss you too.
I took a deep breath, "hey," she looks like a grumpy cat, "Mrs. Rose Gabriela, you like that name?" She rolled her eyes, "why you upset?" She sighed, "I was worried," I nodded, "what if I picked you up by tomorrow morning?" She looks at me. "You can't, right?" I nodded, "I can," she looks at me.
"Don't make a promise to me! I don't like when you cancel it," I chuckle. I bet she was promising with all the lies.
"Okay, then," I put my pen next to the paper, and I took off my glasses, "I will sleeping," she looks at me, "you should sleep too," I don't want to look at her face, right now. "Fifty trillion times it by 40%, today is 40%, but tomorrow I can make it 60%," she nods. "Thanks for the meal," I show her my Tupperware, "let's sleep, okay?" She hums, "promise me! You should pick me up by the morning!" I nodded. She misses me, "I will," she hang up the phone. And I took a deep breath.
She's mad. I hug my hugging pillow and cover my face with it.

"Hey, are you sleeping?" I open my eyes and looked at Rose, "what are you doing here!? It's 3 AM!" I'm yawning and cover it with my left hand.
"Well, I couldn't sleep. So I decide to sleep here, in case..." Rose kissing my lips, "you don't have to," Rose gets in the car and sits next to me, "so, what?" She looks at me, "drive me to your house," I looked at her. "Right now?" She rolled her eyes, "it's already morning, right?" Our morning, "o-okay," I turn on the engine, and I drive to my house.
"You know, the first time when my mom react when I'm coming home without you is she holding a knife because I was pretending to be sad," I choked, "why would you did that!?" She shrugged her shoulders, "I wanted to troll my mom," well, at least she has not killed me yet.
I turned on the radio, "you know this song?" She looks at me, "this song?" I nodded, "Got7?" I'm laughing, "yeah, you right," she looks at me, "are you sure you don't like K-Pop?" I nodded, "as I said, I'm a music lover." I stop the car because it was a red light.
Let me put you on a cruise
Enjoy the ride, let me kick back with you

Let me get you right you deserve to feel cool
All these good vibes, we can put that on a cruise (Mario - Cruise (OST. Empire))
She smiles, "what?" I look up, "it's green," gladly I don't see any cars behind me, "so how's the progress?" I sighed, "It's 40% from 50 trillion," she nods. "Let me help you," I took a glance at her, "are you sure?" She nods, "you counting, and I'm writing," I nodded, "fair and square," she hugs my arms, "I miss you," I'm smiling, "I miss you too," I sighed.
"We should take it slow, right?" She hums, "but, my feeling towards you, I can't hold it anymore," me too, Rose. "What about this, we..." I step on my break because I saw something. I hold my gun, "you have a gun?" I nodded. "I'm an active shooter," I saw two men wearing ski masks, "we should run," I step on the gas, and they were chasing us, "can you write down their..." she took a picture and a video.
"You know what, we can go to the police station," it's far from here, "it's far," I'm using the drifting technique. "You should buckle up," did they know who the target was? "I think they were targetting me," I shot the tires, and they fall. I took a deep breath and looked at her.
"Gladly, we are nearby with a gas station," I drive my car there to refill the gas, "are you okay?" I nodded, "you got all the video, right?" I turned off the engine and put my gun inside the gloves compartment, "are you an agent or something? Because of the way you shot, you look like a pro," I nodded, "I'm practicing," I took a deep breath, "you want me to teach you?" She looks at me.
"It is for my good?" I nodded, "not shooting while driving, but shooting range," she nods. I turned on the engine, "well, they already arrested," she looks at the two men, "lets we go home, shall we?" She nods.

I opened my eyes because I heard someone sings, "Sidestep, right-left, to my beat. High like the moon, rock with me, baby. Know that I got that heat. Let me show you 'cuz talk is cheap.
Sidestep, right-left, to my beat. Get it, let it roll!" I chuckle, and Rose looked at me, "did my voice make you awake?" I shook my head, "good morning, too" I kiss her forehead, "keep singing. It keeps my sanity stable," she chuckles.
I'm stretching my muscle, "oh God," I'm yawning, "you know, I don't want to disturb you because you need that," I looked at her, "so, we living in the vault," I nodded. "my cats too," she saw Paruru and Phil sits on the money that we pile on a pallet.
"How's the progress?" I sit, and I took a deep breath, "76%, it's 36% than yesterday," I nodded. "You should freshen up," I nodded, "I'm sleepy," I hug my pillow and sit.
"You want to sleep again?" I wish I could, "no, I wanted to help my future wife with her business," she smiles, "you can't help it too?" I nodded.
Take my hand
Take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you (Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love)
She hugs me, "Hey, what's wrong?" She shook her head, "lets we continue our business. You say you wanted to be a..." she kisses me. Why she likes to kiss me!? When she was around, she was like a magnet for my heart. You know, what I feel right now, I'm happy, but my heart said otherwise. She needs to calm down. But this time, this kiss is different.
"Y-you know I have a heart attack, right?" She nods, "so, are we official yet?" I shook my head, "close from official?" She nods, "I let it flow like a river, surely to seas, darling so, it goes." She smacked my shoulder. "Let's we continue," she nods, and she gave me the money. "Phil, you should pee on your litter box, not at that money!" He looks at me, "meow!" Yeah, say sorry to anything. "You want me to open the door?" I opened the vault door, and he gets outside.
"You want to rinse them?" I nodded. Phil, you make me cry inside. I saw my jacket has poo on it. "Why he did this to me!?" She laughs and hugs me. Why are we still here to suffer!?
