A/N This could be read as a continuation to the last chapter but can be read stand alone too. 

Travis' POV

Well I'm still bored.  The house is clean for Taylor coming back from NYC tomorrow and I've ordered her a cute new necklace been on social media filmed the podcast and fed the cats who are clearly missing her and have walked up and down the garden a few times and played golf but it's only 1pm. 

I decided to take advantage of the fact there aren't any paparazzi outside my house right now. Touch wood. And go for a walk outside. 

Pat told me there was a nice woods to go in nearby and it wasn't too busy so I decide to check it out for myself. It's really nice and literally looks like autumn. I take a picture knowing it's exactly the type of thing that would go on Taylor's Pinterest board. 

It's nice and quiet and I put my AirPods in as I walk along. I suddenly hear something over the music and take them out for a second. It sounds like a whimper or something. And I look around to see where it's coming from. There's a small pile of leaves rustling around so I brush them off only to see a tiny little puppy that could only be like a week old underneath it. I look around and there's no one else there so pick it up and wrap it up in my jacket to warm it up.

I could hear the sounds of content from the little thing and walked back home and into the living room. After a quick Google search and using my own extremely amateur knowledge I worked out what it needed setting up a bed, water, food. I made sure it was near the radiator so it could warm up. 

Damn. I'm pretty good at this. I thought once I'd finished standing there admiring my hard work. And even better an hour had already passed. I smiled as the dog sat there fast asleep. 

I had to find a name for this dude. Upon inspection I worked out he was definitely a stray, probably one abandoned by its mother or something that had happened to it. And yep it was definitely a guy. Hmm he looks a bit like a Body so I decide to settle on that. Me and my ex Kayla had shared custody over our old dogs but once me and Taylor started going out that umm quickly ended and now I was dogless, my house run by Dibbles, Meredith and Benji. Speaking of I wasn't sure if they'd have a problem with him. Oh well that's a problem for future Travis I'll sort that out later. 

My phone pings and I grab to get it seeing a text from Taylor

Tay : Just landed will be home in about half an hour love you babe xx

I type out a reply quickly,

Awesome see you in a bit sweetie x

Oh shit. Taylor's gonna be mad if I just decided to get a puppy without telling her. I mean I know I didn't exactly go out of my way to but I didn't talk to her about it or anything. 30 minutes isn't enough time to drive it to a shelter and get back in time for my girlfriend. I decide I'll hide it in the closet as Taylor doesn't look in there a lot of the time. 

I bring Body into the closet and close the door. I squirm as I hear him whine but we don't have time for this. I make sure he's comfortable and tidy up downstairs.

I glance at the clock seeing Tay will be back in 15 minutes.

I sit there thinking of how I'm going to get him out without her noticing. I could drive him to a shelter when she's not in the room and say I'm going to somewhere.

Pat's house?

No she'd want to come too and see Britt and Sterling and Bronze, who now call her "Auntie Tay" and are absolutely infatuated with her.

Maybe on the way to training?

Nope too early she'd still be in bed or asleep. 

I'll have to sneak out at night or something.

That might give her the wrong impression though. I know she's a little cautious when it comes to cheating after past experiences but I'm not quite sure what else to do.

I sigh but hear the doorbell ring. I ran to the door wanting to meet Taylor. I might have been busy the past few hours but have been dying of boredom the past few days missing her.

I plant a kiss on her lips wrapping my arms round her neck.

"Hi baby" I murmur still kissing her,

"Hey" she says smiling as she pulls away still holding onto me.

She looks drop dead gorgeous as always but I can tell she's tired.

"I'm so tired" she says sighing and beginning to make her way upstairs.

Oh no. I should've used some intuition and put the puppy in a wardrobe in any of the other rooms. She flops onto the bed and I walk in nervously waiting for the bomb to go off.

She looks at me confused, "You okay?" she asks concerned

"Oh yeah I'm fine" I reassure her,

"You sure?" she says

I hear a little yap from the wardrobe.

"What was that?" she says

"Nothing just me" I say

She looks even more confused now brows furrowed. 
"I think it came from the wardrobe" she says as the dog barks again.

"What?" I say playing dumb, "I can't hear anything," I say.

I walk over to the wardrobe casually blocking it from her.

My attempt at playing dumb clearly didn't work as she walks over.

"Let me look" she says.

"No it's fine you're being dramatic there's nothing in there" I say

"Travis" she says

"No" 

"Let me in the wardrobe" she says pushing me away and pulling the door open.

A/N This was a request so hope you liked it. Would you guys want a part 2 or the story of what happened with Kayla and the dogs? Sorry I'll try to get quicker with updating xxx
