Being woken up by the sound of a rooster was strange.
The left side of the bed was cold, meaning Issac left early morning. "Well let the weekend begin!" She yawns while she stretches out her body. It always seems to make one feel refreshed.
She took a hot shower and dressed as comfortable as she could. She braided her hair and skipped to the kitchen just as Issac entered the house. She had to hold her breath. He was wearing a tight white shirt, only it was not so white anymore, with long jeans and barefoot. He was covered in dirt and his hair was slightly wet from the sweat. He had scars all over his arms she could barely see them, but most of them were covered in dirt.
Oh my! She found that extremely attractive and she couldn't explain why. The way the sweat just runs off of him, kind of highlighting his muscles.
"Are you oky, Catherine? You look a little red."
He looked at her with worry and she laughed in hopes of covering up that she was blushing hard for her mate. "N...no I am fine. Just went to fast down the stairs that is all. Just out of breath." She hoped he would not see how she was lying. "Alright." He eyed her closely and she begged her face not to get any more redder than it already was.
"Do you have time for breakfast?" She blurted out and rushed to the kitchen.
Issac look at her figure rushing to the kitchen, he better stay with her today. She really looked red, he didn't want her passed out or have a fever. It was his luck that he had the day off so he can spend more time on his crops, but now he needs to keep an eye on her.
In the kitchen Catherine was already done with breakfast. It was nothing fancy, just the normal bacon, eggs and toast. They were eating peacefully at the island. Her food this time didn't taste as good as her soup, but it was still good and he would happily ate it. She made it so how could he not. "Why are you covered in dirt?" She ask with her mouth stuffed. "I work on my farm most of the time, that is also the reason I work very late because I need to handle pack bussines as well."
Catherine was in awe, not because of how busy he was, but because that was the most Issac talked to her in one time. "Oh wow, will you show me around the house? We hadn't really had the time for you to show me around." She was nervous, she didn't want to inconvenience him. "Get dressed." Was all he said and she pouted, back to the caveman talk. Non the less she dresses in what she thinks was appropriate on a day out on the fields.
"Will this be oky?" She ask Issac about her outfit. He looks at her and nods, then walk out the door. She assumed she should follow so that is what she did.
The first few meters was just plain grass, but when they got further she saw the garden.
There was basically three sections, separated by two dirt paths.
"On the left side is the vegetables that grows with its fruit above the ground , in the middle is herbs and on the right is vegetables that grow underneath the ground and everywhere is some flowers planted that has a symbiosis relationship with the plants. At the far end is more medicinal plants for remedies." He says. It was clear that he was very passionate about his farm and plants.
"I planted everything so that when it rains the water can flow freely. There are certain plants that creates toxins when in contact with water so they will be at the bottom.
Wow she just thought you planted where you wanted and that is that. "Then it's also planted in a way that the plants benefit from each other." She take as much information as Issac would give her. Him talking like that was very new to her.
He then leads her to the greenhouse."Here is my seedlings that I cultivate to make them stronger for the seasons that is yet to come."
He leads her further down. Where there are rows of different trees. Each in their own line."There are the trees that bare edible fruit."
"Why is there those white bags around some fruits?" I wonder. "That is to know that the fruit is almost ready to be harvested, that also means birds are likely to eat it. So we wrap a breathable small around it to protect the fruit and it's also easier to check up on. So it saves alot of time."
"Wow, and I had no idea it took this much effort. Do you do it all alone?" Amazed by the farm that he grew. "Yes." She was really amazed at Issac. "Will you teach me how to work here?" She could see a small smile forming. "Of coarse." The twinkle in his eyes made her so happy. He might not say much, but his eyes give him away sometimes. Only barely, but they do. She just has to look really hard.
"Do you have any animals?" He nodds and walks away. Knowing that that means she should follow him, so she does. He takes her to small barn.
He shows her the dairy cows and meat cows. She didn't even really know there was a difference in the type of cows. There was even sheep and chickens! This really is like a mini farm.
He showed her the stalls where the animals sleep when there is a storm and where they normally sleep at night.
He even showed her the stall where Storm sleeps. She wanted a horse too, but she would wait. She has to get better at riding them first.
"Don't you need some help with this place?" she doesn't even know how he keeps this place to beautiful and in order if he is the King's beta. "I don't mind, it keeps me focused." She wanted to ask how but had a feeling he wouldn't elaborate on that. "Well from now on you have me to help you."
There was that look again, a look she couldn't understand, but like always, it vanished before she could figure him out.
"I have one boy who keeps a lookout on the animals. His name is Keison, but he is off on weekens."
She was glad to have found some common ground where Issac would actually talk to her instead of his caveman replies.
"Issac this place is really just wonderful, you are amazing." Catherine says and Issac sees her get red once again. Does Catherine have an illness that she doesn't want him to know about?
His mate stares at everything he showed her. "It's really beautiful Issac."
"Thank you Fl...Catherine." He felt really proud that Catherine liked this place. He did all this for her after all. "Well show me everything, I'll be your shadow for today!" Her radiant smile was blinding, but my, did he find her beautiful.

He everyone, sorry for the wait, but I was in a bad space in my head. You know that feeling of being depressed and you aren't exactly sure why, but it feels like you are drowning and you don't evem know why because you can swim.
Anywho, I've got some sad good news that I want to share cuz I'm not suppose to tell the people I know.
But my boyfriend got me an engagement ring. He said he couldn't just keep it a secret from me {we don't keep secrets from each other} , but that is the meanest thing one can do to me. Now I know he wants to ask I just don't know when. 😭😭😭 The agony it's just, just mean. Like ask me already!!
Anywhooo, he said I can't tell anyone. His family does know about the ring, but my family and friends and his friends has no idea.
We've been together for a long... Long time and just knowing that and knowing my ring is just out of reach... It's pure torture for me.
He even showed me the ring!!!
So I had so share with someone my exciting yet horrible news.
Below is my future engagement ring.
🤵👩❤️💋👨👰💒🙈
