i think i kinda love you

chapter 36 | sir giggles?

once i took that split-second to process what she had just asked me but excitedly said "yeah!"

"wait really?" she says shockingly. 

"well yeah, i mean, i think a dog would be great for us! it'll be like our first kid." i tease.

in response, she laughs really loud and i replied by giving her the confused what? kinda look. 

"no baby i wanna have kids don't you worry i was laughing at how cute you look when you look when you get all excited about something." she explains. 

"okayyy." i say. 

"so then, do you wanna look at adoptable dogs?" i propose.

"honestly baby, the ideas there but we're on tour for a little longer if we'd get the dog it'll be unfair to that poor baby because it wouldn't get to spend much time with us and considering the first few months are the most important to interact with it, we'd be missing out big time. and not only that, it'd also be around a lot of noise like all the time which would scare it on top of not being fully trusting towards us, imagine coming from a bad place previously, then being with complete strangers who you don't really trust and other random groups of people screaming and shouting at you all the time. oh andddd, i forgot to mention how there'd be flashing lights, screaming crowds and loud music from all the shows. so yeah i definitely want a dog but let's wait until after the tour okay?" she answered. 

"yeah i get that but just for the fun of it, can we look at dogs baby?" 

"no babe we're gonna get tempted or something." she said as she gave me a sad-disappointed look. 

"pleaseeeeee." i beg. 

"okay fine but only because you're so damn fucking hot."

in response to that, i flirtatiously wink at her and with that, we both sat down on the couch, cuddling one another as we looked at all the cute dogs on the angel city pit bulls website. 

"wait baby go back that one's so so cute." she asks. 

so, i scrolled up a little to find a cute grey pitbull that i must've missed while scrolling earlier because there was no way i would've ever skipped this cutie purposely. he was perfect. bil and i both looked at each other with the pleaseee look written all over both of our faces. and considering we both so very clearly wanted to know more about this little guy, i clicked on his profile. he was almost 2 months old, rescued at just a couple of days old from a puppy litter. he was cute, small and looked so comforting and his name was sir giggles? wait hold on what. 

I'm assuming we both saw his name at the same time because we both, coincidentally, broke out laughing at the exact same time. 

"SIR GIGGLES? HAAAAAAA" she exclaims. 

"DUDE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MENTION THAT WHO THE FUCK-" 

for the next couple of minutes, we giggled at just that but slowly, the laughter died down. 

"baby? what if we placed him on hold or something." i unknowingly ask. 

"that's not how it works, they're looking to get dogs adopted as quickly as they can to make room for more dogs." she says. 

"oh fuck." i say disappointed. 

"what if we just got him? like i literally know i just told you how bad of an idea it'd be but i mean, what's a little challenge right?" she proposes. 

"baby he's perfect. we can work out the details when we're closer to going on tour right?" i say. 

"fuck yeah babe we're getting a puppy!" she exclaims. 

"wait how the fuck does this work though like, do i just call and say we want him?"

"okay so I'm assuming, and this might be a stretch but what if we just clicked the 'adopt me!' button." she says sarcastically. 

"oh shut up i meant what happens after we fill out all the forms and shit." i reply. 

"well i mean, the application will be looked at and if they think we'd be a good fit, sometime this week or the next, we'll probably be asked to come in and meet sir giggles. HAHAAA baby i can't get over his name." she laughs. 

"i know me too!" i exclaim. 

after a little while, the giggling came to an end as we began completing the application and once we finished, the both of us cuddled one another on our couch as we talked about a few plans with having a puppy on tour with us. she proposed that he'd be in the green room while the shows were happening and once he got all his puppy shots, either me, claudia, maggie, patrick, zoe or drew would take him outside if the noise ever got too overwhelming for him. speaking of the tour crew, zo was finally joining us for the second half of the tour. i think i mentioned this earlier but zoe decided to stay in LA to spend time with her new boyfriend because it probably wouldn't be fair to leave him that early on in their relationship. i mean fuck, bill and i have been together for well over a year and even at our point in the relationship, it'd suck if we'd be separated for 4 months. while we talked about all the plans we had now that we're getting a puppy, we must've completely lost track of time because now, it was 5:36 pm. and claud and finn had blown up both our phones for a little while now. shit. billie and i both forgot about dinner at their place. 

a couple of minutes went by since i last talked with you all. bu now, bil and i were both in the speeding car. although claud and finn's house wasn't far from ours, it sucked that we were already an hour and a half late so now, every minute counted. once we got there, we knocked on the door and claud cheerfully opens the door as she warmly hugs both of us.

"hey!" she exclaims.

"hey claud sorry for being late we completely lost track of time."

"no worries!" she smiles.

"we were actually talking about adopting a dog. i mean, we're both more than ready and honestly, i think it'd be cute. he'll be like our first kid." she teases while smirking at me.

"awhhhh you two are so cute!" says claudia.

"hey!" finn interrupts as he speads down the stair while buttoning his shirt together.

"hi finn!" i exclaim.

"hey biiiiitch!" bil says excitedly.

"let's all sit! we can talk about the dog while we eat. i made burgers!" says claud.

"dog?" finneas asks.

and in response, claudia gave him the you'll find out in a sec kinda look.

once we all sat down at the dinner table, claud brought out the food which by the way, looked so so amazing. she's the best cook. finn was the first to bring p the dog adoption and from there, we started talking about why we're deciding to adopt a puppy. after bill and i caught claud and finn in the loop, we began talking about the plan we had with the puppy while we were on tour and things like where would the puppy be during shows, then would we have time to train or interact with him and other things like that. by this time, none of us had realized that it was now about 1 am and once we did, bil and i both agreed that we should head home.
