2

Thirdy is eating his breakfast when someone doorbelled

"Magina ko na siguro yon, Ma. Sige na po" pagpapaalam niya sa kafacetime na ina.

"Okay, Kuya! Be nice to her" she winked and ended the call

He looks in the mirror before opening the door. He's right magina na nga niya yon. Bea's looking at Cucu who's lying on the floor

"Hi" he greeted

"I'll pick him up Friday morning"

he stared at her emotionless and nodded

Cucu immediately licks her feet before running to the bedroom.

"Bye. take care" Bea said before turning her back.

"Bei, I mean Bea" that stopped her

"Uhm text me if there's a problem" he said

"Huh?" she looks back

"I mean kapag nandon si Cu sayo tapos may problema. You can text me" he lied

"Ay yeah okay" and continue to walk towards the elevator,

"Text amp. I can take care of my child" inis na bulong ni Bea pag sakay ng elevator.

Thirdy quickly ran to the bedroom after he remembered that he left his shoe near the bed.

"Cu, don't even try" he warned his dog

Cucu just stares at his father as if he understood what he just said,

Inalis agad ni Thirdy ang sapatos sa harapan ng aso

"Cmon! We'll go to the pool area" he said petting the dog,

"Do you want that my baby boy? you want to run near the pool?"

"Of course my boy wants that"

He wore his shoes and put the leash on his son's neck.

While walking him near the pool, a dog friend of Cucu appeared

"Thirdy! It's been a while since I saw you here with Copper" bati ng isang neighbor.

"Uhm hi. He stayed kasi sa mo-" he pauses "he stayed kay Bea for a while"

"Oh how's Beatriz? Hindi ko na nga siya nakikita sa gym?" the neighbor added

"she's fine." he smiled

"My dog biscuit missed playing with Copper" she told him

Thirdy looks at the two dogs who he thinks are so close to killing each other.

"I'm sure Copper missed him too" he lied

"oh no biscuit is a girl" the neighbor laughed,

"Oh I'm sorry" Thirdy looked at the pomeranian again,

When he heard Cucu's growling, he said good bye to the neighbor and tried to pet the pomeranian before finally leaving but Copper barked and attempted to bite his hand

"Wtf is that Cu!" he exclaimed

"Oh Copper is a possessive dog pala" the neighbor nervously chuckled

he smiled again and carried Copper before walking away

"That's so fucking bad, Copper! You almost bite me" pinapagalitan niya ito habang nasa elevator.

when the elev tings they entered the unit at lalo pang sinermonan ni Thirdy ang aso

"Ganon ka ba sa mom mo hah? Cel is bringing her beagle and you being jelous can lead to you biting your mom. That's so bad Copper! I'm telling you"
