Sydney
These past couple of weeks have been good. I've been busy with a lot of work so no one hasn't really heard from me. As for Jordan he still up under me like he always has. He's been really busy with this season and working on getting better, so whenever he's not working out, he's either eating or up under me taking a nap. I've noticed that he's been more touchy and loving lately. Every night we're either sleeping in each other's rooms we haven't spent a night alone for the past couple of weeks.

Juan has been coming over a lot lately as well due to him and Audi having problems...again. I love her and all, but she just needs to walk away at this point. I know it's hard because they've been together so long, but the toxicity is not it. The amount of times they have argued will at our place...Jordan and I keep a big bottle of Tylenol or because of that.

As I was about to close my laptop for the day, Jordan peeks in his head into my office door smiling. I take my headphones off and place them in my desk draw.

"Can I come in?"

"What's the password?"

"Jordan is daddy 020314."

"Alright and you ruined the mood", I laugh.

He walks in with Kai in his arms and I reach my arms out to take him. Jordan keeps smiling and staring at me.

"Is there something you need to tell me", I giggle.

"Let me take you somewhere", he smiles.

"My mom said I shouldn't go to random places with strangers."

His jaw drops and he has his hand on his chest. I turn around holding my laugh in because he's going to make me snort and I can't embarrass myself right now.

"I am not a stranger I'm your future husband now come on and grab your jacket", he laughs.

Jordan and I pull up to the place and I turn towards him smiling really hard.

"We're getting a dog!"

"Of course you thought I forgot the conversation we had a few weeks ago. They gave me a call and some new rescues came in."

I climb over the middle console and sit in his lap giving him a hug and kiss on the cheek. He opens the door and carries me out to the front door of the establishment. Once we talk to the owners who are also the volunteer coordinators, Jordan signs me up and we head to the back to where all the puppies are.

"So Sydney are you looking for a small, medium, or large breed dog?"

"I really don't mind, but I know big boy right here wants a large breed."

I look over to see Jordan paying no mind to the conversation waving to all the dogs that was pass by. One thing I do love about Jordan Anthony is that he's not afraid to show his soft side. When it comes to me he always want to be cuddled and acts like a teddy bear and I just love it. We continue to walk and I stop once I see a dog that will be perfect for us.

Mrs. Richards notice that I stopped and smiles at me and tells Jordan to take a look. I peep the file that in his cubby and open it up to see more about him. His name is Thanos which is perfect because Jordan and I are big Marvel fans. I see that he also loves cuddles, his blankie, walks, playtime, and loves people. Mrs. Richard opens up the gate and Jordan slowly walks in so Thanos doesn't get alarmed. Once he takes a seat on the ground, he is all over him.

"Hi buddy you want to see your new mommy?"

I walk in and take a seat next to Jordan letting baby boy sniff my hand. He moves over to my lap and licks me in the face giving me sweet puppy dog kisses.

"Well hello my sweet boy. I think you're going to be the perfect dog for the two of us."

"I'll go ahead and get the paperwork."

Thanos lays his head on my chest and I pout looking at jordan to see him video taping the entire thing.

Mr. Richards comes back with his wife with the paperwork and tell us a few things about Thanos to make sure he stays healthy and safe. We did ask him if he's been aquatinted with other animals since we have the boys at home. I was very shocked to hear that he loves other animals and partially cries when they take him away from the cats. I was very relieved to hear that because boy it was going to be ugly. I'm not too worried about Kota and Kai because we place them around Steph and Ayesha's dog so they can get use to dogs.

Jordan helps clean out his kennel and grabs his blankie before we head to the front to pay the adoption fee. I quickly give them my card and Jordan hands Mr. Richards his.

"I could've paid for it."

"You can pay for his stuff at Pet Smart but I'm not letting you do that anyway."

Kota, Kai, and Thanos were on the couch with Jordan and I as we watched Spider-Man. The babies love each other and I'm so excited to have another animal in the house, but I'm stuck in a house full of boys. It's ok though I've been dealing with jordan since the end of his sophomore year in the NBA.

Thanos has really taken. Liking towards Jordan and I'm a little sad, but he still loves me though. Towards the end of this week we will take him to the vet to make sure he's ok and to microchip him incase he gets lost or stolen.

"This little guy is so cute, you did a good job Syd. I just know he's going to be a big boy...but soon you'll have a big house and big backyard to run around in."

"A big house? Backyard?"

"Yeah especially when our family can expand."

All these cryptic messages I know exactly what he is alluding to. I'm just wanting for him to get the confidence and ask me already.
