I ran downstairs to where Jesse was watching Tv on the couch and snuck behind him. I finally got to him and screamed, "HAPPY MADE UP HOLIDAY JUGGIE!!!"
He screamed like a girl and I fell over laughing. "Omg, Juggie don't make me laugh. It hurts!"
Suddenly he got an evil grin on his face and I started backing up. "Jesse, don't do it!" I exclaimed. He tackled me and started tickling me. I was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my face. He stopped and laid beside me. "Thanks for letting me stay here" he said. I regained my cool and rolled over to meet his eyes. "You mean the world to me, Juggie. It was the least I could do. Especially since your dad is such a -"
Jesse put a hand over my mouth.
"Thanks" I said, after pulling his hand away from my mouth. Suddenly I remembered I had to go to work. I groaned and got up, "you have work?" He asked. "Yeah, fortunately. You can record a video while I'm gone. I'll see you at four"
I put my vet jacket on and hugged him before leaving for work.
---hours later---
I was in middle of sticking a thermometer up a cat's rear end when I got a call from Juggie. I answered it immediately.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey! I was wondering, what channel is the play station?"
"Really?"
The cat yowled when I messed up "sorry, Whiskers! It's HDMI 2. I have to go stick a therm up a cats butt, so bai"
"Living the life up there, I'll see you in a few hours"
"Bye" I hung up and took the thermometer out. "Okay, you've got a slight cold. I'll be back!" I pretended like I went down stairs behind the counter, like a mime. And came back up with a cone for the cat to keep her from scratching her rash-y ears.
Finally, hours later. I was released and I got to go home to baeeeeeeee-Juggie.
Pretend you didn't read that.
Kay.
I came through the door and collapsed on the couch. "So much work, so many cat butts!" I said, muffled by the throw pillow. Juggie laughed and picked me up.
"You worked hard, eh?"
I nodded with my best puppy dog eyes and buried my head in his shoulder.
"Let's get you some ice cream and get you to bed, okay?"
I nodded again and he took me upstairs to my room "I'll be back with your ice cream"
I buried myself under the blankets and sighed contently. I heard the door open and Juggie sat beside me.
"Maelee..... Ice cream...." He said, sweetly. I mumbled, "too tired. Can't move"
He pulled the blanket off me and pulled me up. "Stretch your arm a bit"
I put my arm in front of me and wiggled it rapidly. "Is this good?"
"Yeah, I guess" he said, laughing. He gave me the ice cream and went out. "Wait, Jesse. I want to watch Tv but I don't like watching Tv alone. C-could you stay with me?"
That was a lie. I just wanted him with me. He smiled a bit and sat beside me "sure thing, Mae. What do you want to watch?"
"Anything Disney!"
"You and I are going to get along just fine..." He said laughing
