161 Traitor (1/2)

Catriona was walking in the garden with one of her dog leading her While Tequila was fixing the garden where the dog dugs and mess up his newly planted Tulips. He frown at the General the American Pitbull. He was the one who started it and everyone followed him. Damn that dog. He was muttering to himself. Though he trained them well—they are still naughty and only behave around Catriona.

Catriona like feeling the grasses under her feet so they maintain it every day and clean it. It was Tequila's duty. He like all of the gardener's work. He remove poop around and them told the dogs all over again to pop on their pooping area where he put sands for their popping area. Away from the garden.

”You sound angry.” Catriona said as she smile when she heard him from afar muttering. Though she is blind she has a very good hearing.

”Well, General just do it again and the others follow. So how will these Tulips grow beautifully?” He ask her.

”What's with you and General you've been fighting almost everyday?” Catriona asked as the dogs led her close to Tequila. She couldn't see but she could feel the fresh wind and the rising of the sun kissing her skin.

Tequila growl at General who growl at him.

”Well, it started when he wanted me to bring him outside but I told him that we can't.”

Catriona kneel down and reach General's face.

”Why do you have to be naughty around Albert?” Catriona asked General in honeyed voice. General whims and started talking in his dog voice. He try to sound like complaining but Tequila couldn't understand his complain. Only Catriona would ”Aww, don't do it again. Tequila is just protecting us. Okay? Soon after everything is settled outside and there will be no one to harm us—we can go out anywhere you like.”

General started licking Catriona's face. Tequila make a disgust face. What if General lick somebody's butt? Darn it. That was quite bad.

”Cat, wash your face when you get in. Okay?”

Dogs keep on licking Catriona and trying to stand to give her a hug. The dogs just love her so dearly. Since Catriona was a dog person and was known as a dog whisperer—it was enough for her to feel love by animals.

After Tequila is done fixing the Tulips, he covered it with a strong fence all around so the dogs wouldn't harm his tulips. Then he led Catriona to the bathroom and make her wash her face. Tequila look down on her swollen stomach. It is getting bigger and bigger every week.

”How are you feeling?” He ask. He didn't know how hard it was but he could see that she's been suffering yet she can still take it and keep herself healthy and alive for her babies.

”I feel good. Why are you asking?”

”Your stomach is getting bigger and bigger.”

”It should get bigger.” She said. She reach the towel where Tequila always put and wipe her face. Tequila sigh.

”I can't wait for them to come out so I and Sam can play with them.”

Catriona frowns and throw the towel directly at his face though she can't see, she still remember how tall he was.

”My babies aren't toys.”

”What I mean is babysit them. Anyway, I am making something today. Any requests?”

”Anything is fine.” She said and reach her hand on the wall and walk as she traces the wall. She walk past him and went to bed. ”I'm going to sleep.”
