Alex:
Finally we are back at home. I park the suv in the garage and gently wake Lily.
“Lily. It’s time to wake we are here.” I say
She hasn’t moved one time.
I guess I’ll be caring her to her surprise then.
I get out of the vehicle and walk around to her side of the car. I open the door and and unbuckle her seat belt and go to grab her when she jumps right at me making me almost piss my pants.
“f**k!” I yell with my heart beat going like crazy.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” I ask
She’s laughing..great.
“I’m sorry.. it’s.. just.. oh my gosh you should see your face!” She says all while gasping for air.
Oh she wants to play. Well play we shall.
“Listen if you’re just going to mean I won’t show you your other surprise.”
She sits up and stops laughing.
Gotcha.
“Okay I’ll be good promise.” As she sticks out her pinky finger.
“Mmm I think it’s already too late.”
“Please I’ll be good. I’ll do anything.” She whines
“Anything?” I think myself and boy do I have a plan for that anything.
“Anything huh?” I ask her
She shakes her head up and down slowly while biting her lower slip.
Damn I wish I was that lip.
I reach into the car and grab the back of head and whisper in her ear, “I’ll cash in on that anything whenever I like. Just remember that kitten.” Then bite her lobe as I lift her from the seat and carry her up to my room.

Once upstairs, and in the bedroom that is more like a small apartment, I sit her down on the island and stand between her legs.
“Well my surprise?” She ask with a huge smile on her face.
“Eager are we now?” I laugh
“ I know it’s good. So come on give me it. Please”
“Well since you asked so nicely and didn’t even whine about it.” I say mockingly
“Close your eyes and hold out your arms.”
She does as I ask and I head towards my room and grab the gift.
I’ve had to hide the little s**t for two weeks from her. Do you know how hard it is to hide a puppy? Well let me tell you, hard. And they make you get up all hours of the night to take them out it’s like dealing with a child. No wonder her family didn’t want her to have a dog.
I walk back over to her and sit the little thing down in her arms.
“Okay open.” I tell her
Then she starts cry...
Fuck.
I’m freaking out on the inside let me tell you. Are these tears of joy or sadness?
I mean I got her something she would like!
“Kitten, what’s wrong?” I ask as I wipe away her tears with my thumbs.
“It’s.. just.. that.. I’m so happy” she says as she gasping for air and crying all at the same time.
I hang my head and relax.
“Thank the moon goddess.. I though you hated it.”
“No I love it.”
I look up at her and she’s smiling at the little s**t.
Women.
“He’s so pretty.. I think I’m going to die.” She says
“She.” I correct her
“She?” She ask and checks just to make sure since I guess I would lie about that.
“SHE, is cute. I have just the name for her.”
“And that would be?” I ask
“Alexa. Which stands for Defender of Man.”
Well s**t, that’s why I got her. To defend my kitten.
I smile at her and pat the little s**t.
That’s what I’m going to call her at least, but I won’t tell Lily that.
“Well I’m glad you like her. It’s getting pretty late I’m going to take a shower. Care to join or am I going to be second best dog now?” I ask
“Second best dog.” She says
Wow no hesitation or anything.
“Get rid of the dog. NOW!” Axel barks in my head.
“Calm down dude, it’s just a dog.”
“So am I and she chose it. I can be the defender she needs not that thing!”
I roll my eyes at him. He’s being such a pansy right now and I can’t stand this conversation any longer so I block him from my mind.
Lily:
IM THE HAPPIEST GIRL EVER!
Alexa is perfect. She’s a German Shepard with black fur and black eyes. The only white on her is her teeth.
My very own puppy. I wonder if she’s one of the puppies from the shelter? I’ll have to ask him that questions here in a little bit.
For now, we are going to get off this island and play in the floor.
I go to his bedroom with her in my hands and search of her toys.
I find them all in a basket beside her doggy bed. Wow, he really went out all. There are like ten toys in here. I go for the one that will fit in her moth. She’s only looks to be 4 months so the tennis ball will do.
We play for about the next the 30 minutes before she gets tired and before Alex returns from his shower.
Perfect, now we can get into bed before she tells me she can’t sleep with us.
Another ten minutes passes before he finally emerges. What was he doing in there?
“Hell no. Get her off the bed right now Lily. She’s not sleeping there. She knows where her bed is.”
“Oh come on! She’s happy right here beside me. Look at her” I say and point
There she is curled up beside me giving him those puppy dog eyes.
“Lily.. I have this dog trained it’s taken me two weeks. You don’t think, I know she wants to stay up here?” He says
Two weeks I think. He has had her for two weeks and is just now giving her to me?
“Two weeks.” I say out loud
“You’ve had her for two weeks and you’re just now telling me!?”
“Yes, and I’ve done a good job at hiding her too. She even ran by you like four times. We just said we had a special pup in our pack. But really, it was just her. I got her for you because you deserve her and as a job well done on your internship.” He says and adds,
“But, I’ve been training her and making her listen and behave. You are not going to destroy my work. She sleeps in her bed, she knows the rules. Don’t even think about it. She’s cute I know, but she sheds everywhere. So she sleeps down there.”
How could anyone be so heartless? I don’t even care why he is giving me the dog or when he got her now. All I know, is for two weeks he has just been a heartless monster to our baby.
I look at him in the eyes and we have a stand off. Fine, if he won’t let her sleep on the bed I won’t either.
I look away grab the dog and head for the couch.
“Where are you going?” He calls
“To the couch you heartless monster!”
“What the hell Lily. I’m not heartless for making her sleep on her bed, I got for her. And you aren’t sleeping on the couch just because she can’t sleep with us.”
“If she can’t sleep there, neither will I.”
He sighs in frustration and rubs his hands over his face and finally looks at me.
“Fine. But I swear to the moon goddess Lily, if that dog licks my face or sleeps on my pillow with me.. she’s going back to the floor.”
With a smile as wide as the seas I shake my head in agreement and grab the dog and go back to bed.
On the way by him, I pull his face down and kiss him.
“Good boy.” I say and run to the bed for safety.
