Elise's POV:

Waking up I almost forgot where I was. I also almost forgot how comfortable Roman's bed was.

I sat up and looked around for him because he wasn't in bed. I then heard water running coming from the bathroom.

Walking over my dress on the floor from last night I peeked in and he was brushing his teeth. "Morning", he muffled with his toothbrush in his mouth.

"Good morning", I smile. I laid my head on his bare back and stayed there. Lately I've been very tired and very shitty, more shitty than normal.

"You slept okay?" Roman asks while wiping his mouth. "Yeah, but I think last nights food did something to me", I replied grabbing my toothbrush and he applied the toothpaste for me.

"Hm take some medicine", he says and opens a drawer next to me full of pain pills. It sure was a lot.

I nodded and started to brush my teeth. Once I was done he told me he was getting ready to go for a jog and I had decided to join him.

I wore some leggings, tennis shoes and a slim black jacket.

We were jogging for maybe twenty minutes and my stomach started to bother me. I slowed down and came to a stop to hunch over.

Maybe I was running too much? I've never had a problem before. "You okay?" Roman put his hand on my back in attempt to comfort me.

It was like a faint pain but bearable, it just catches me off guard sometimes. I wonder what it is.

I took a deep breath then stood straight again. "Yeah, the pain meds must be taking a while to work I guess", I answer.

"Should we head back?" he asked. I shook my head and across the street I noticed a fluffy white dog. It was so cute walking with its owner.

I suddenly wanted one.

"Are sure because if your not feeling well we can really turn back", he says. I look up at him and he actually looks concerned.

He shouldn't be, I'm fine.

"You know what would make me better? A dog", I smiled cheekily at him.

He blinked a couple times then a smile appeared. "A dog?" He quoted. I nodded and clapped my hands together.

"Please, it can be our dog as a couple", I beg stepped closer to him. "As a couple hm, alright", he agrees. I smile as I threw my arms around his neck.

We got back to the house to shower and Roman looked up a dog pound and now we're at the closest one. 

"This one?" He points to the big fluffy poodle. I watched him sit cutely looking at us. He was cute but not exactly the right one.

I shook my head and we went along the cages looking at them. One on the end finally caught my attention.

The lady said he was a Doberman. He was black and sort of tall, well his ears made him that way. He looked amazing. "Hey I like him", Roman speaks, then crouches to his level.

"What's his name?" I asked the groomer. "He doesn't have one yet, we let the people who buy them decide", she replied.

"You want him?" Roman looks up at me for a response. "Yes, he's beautiful", I say in complete awe.

"Well take him", Roman said to her. "Would you also like to look at his sister over here?" she suggested. We went down one to another one and she also looked beautiful.

"Oh wow", I gasped. I look to Roman telling him I wanted them both with my eyes. He chuckled then nodded slightly.

"They both are so cute", I beam. The lady grabs two leashes and lets them out of their cages to bring them to the front of the building.

"What should we name them?" I ask Roman. "Shouldn't they earn a name", he says while before closing my car door.

"No, we should just give them one", I say to him once he's in the car. I turn around to look at them sitting so still and straight in the backseat.

With my hand under my chin I try thinking of a cool name for them and they suddenly pop up.

"Hey! Chase for the boy, and maybe Simmer?" I ask looking at him. He's focused on the road, driving with one hand.
"Hm I like it", He says. "Good! that's their names",I smile while rubbing Simmer's head.
