Behind their Backs

Natural Instincts

Aviva's POV

Martin showed up with Chris pretty much on a leash. Chris kept claiming he was fine but that was certainly untrue. Every half hour or so he'd turn back to human then back to a Tasmanian Devil. I decided to override it since Chris was being extremely aggressive towards me trying to deactivate by the button. I was going to hit it with the screwdriver to pop the broken plexiglass off and essentially break the computer chip but I'd like to be in one piece after this.

I'm going to need a bottle of tequila or something after this...

I noticed martin had disappeared and reappeared five minutes later in casual clothing with his girlfriend. Koki. I looked down and saw Chris was busy gnawing on a pvc pipe I had removed earlier that week. At least I cleaned it already to be reused but really? Really CK...?

"Martin where are you-"

"Sorry aviva I've got to go see my son. You know how his mother is when I'm late."

"Yeah I know she can be a piece of shit sometimes MK... But do you have to leave me alone with your unpredictable brother?"

"Just put him in a dog cage." He laughed. Martin patted chris's head like if he was actually a dog. "See? He's such a good boy."

"Martin he's been trying to bite me!"

"Why would he bite you?"

"I don't need a goddamn saw around my arm."

"Oh aviva you'll be okay. Don't exaggerate. We'll be back soon. Jimmy is-"

"Nope I'm heading to my favorite pizzeria! I'm not dog sitting!" He ran right out. I rubbed my forehead annoyed as they all just walked away from the responsibility. I saw chris heading towards the kitchen and followed him. "Ah where do you think you're going?"

"Nowhere."

"You're heading to the kitchen."

"Something smells good."

I rolled my eyes until i realized he was heading for the trash. "Uh uh! ¡Ni se te ocurra!" I put the lid on tightly and he pouted.

"But I'm hungry!"

"No! You're a human!"

"please?"

"Ay dios mío... Do I really have to say it? Bad boy! Don't! I will smack you on the nose with a newspaper if you get near this trash can."

"But I'm hungry...."

"How about I give you a treat?"

"A treat?" I noticed his tail was swishing.

"Are... Are you wagging your tail?"

"Where's my treat." He kept pouting.

"Ay I'm going you impatient pup." I grabbed a piece of meat from last night's dinner and he immediately grabbed it from my hand. I squeaked in shock. "Jesus christ! You're going to bite my hand off!"

I neared him to try and get this shit off him. He growled at me when I neared my hand. "I don't want your meat."

I giggled to myself at how wrong that sounded.

I reached my hand again and his growling got louder. "I know you're territorial and protecting your food but I don't want cold meat! I want this off you!"

He snapped at me. I yelped and fell back. "Christopher!"

I just went back to my computer. Now I've got to wait for this idiot to fall asleep or something. And that's if he falls asleep with his back up.
