My hair was as straight as a board, my dress flowed down to my ankles, and was sparkly making me look like a disco ball head to toe but in a pretty way. I was happy with the way I looked in the mirror and I kind of couldn't wait to see Louis's reaction.

It was my birthday today, and to celebrate we were going to one of Louis's clubs to celebrate with friends and family. I hated my birthday, and knowing all the attention would be on me tonight made me a little nervous but knowing Louis would be by my side the whole night made me feel better.

I sprayed perfume on my wrists and my neck, grabbed my little wristlet and made my way downstairs where Liam, Louis, and Sophia waited already drinking and getting hyped to go to the club.

As I made my way down the stairs, I could see Liam and Louis getting hyped about football while Sophia stood there rolling her eyes. But as soon as I came into view, Louis looked like immediately zoned out Liam and his only focus was on me as I made my way down.

As soon as Louis's eyes were on me I couldn't help but blush immediately and smiled sheepishly. Louis smiled to me, and Liam and Sophia looked to see what had Louis so distracted. Once they saw me they all screamed and shouted in excitement for me.

"Ayyyyyy!!!!!" Liam raised his glass.

"There's the birthday girl!!!!!!!" Sophia screamed, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"The party has arrived." I played along, giving a grin making us all laugh.

Louis met me at the last step, and shook his head smiling. "It certainly has. You look. . .beautiful." He said, looking totally speechless.

I could feel my cheeks heating up. If I smiled anymore than I was right now, I felt my face might break.

"Thank you."

"I don't think I've ever seen you with straight hair." He said with a small chuckle.

"You like it?" I asked hopefully, and a little nervous.

He smiled, and brought his lips to my cheek. "Love it. Happy birthday Eleanor."  He whispered in my ear, and at the same time handing me a box.

My eyes widened, and I looked to him. In the back I could hear Sophia squealing about my gift.

"Hurry up and open it!!!!" She said eagerly.

"I said no gifts though." I gasped to Louis.

"Well truthfully I wasn't because I had no idea what to get you but thankfully those two over there helped me out a bit." Louis said with a laugh and nodded his head to Liam and Sophia.

"You're welcome by the way. Basically it's from all of us." Liam joked, and Sophia hit Liam's chest.

"Um, no that's not true." Louis corrected, and we all laughed.

I have Louis a smile and slowly opened the box. I let out a laugh and held the gift up.

"A collar? You shouldn't have." I joked, and we all laughed. "Why did I get a collar?"

"That's funny, I thought the main gift was in there? Soph, you think you can open that door over there." Louis asked pretending to be clueless.

My heart dropped, no way was this real!

"Oh my God, you did not." I said already knowing but not believing.

"Eeeeeeee!!!" Sophia squealed, and opened the door.

My jaw dropped as a perfect brown golden doodle puppy came running out Louis's office. I let out the biggest gasp and dropped to my knees to embrace the small furry creature. They all cheered excitedly for me.
