i opened ella's front door and walked in, and she was in the living room, playing with louis and bambi.

"hey." i smiled, being the first one there, as i lived closest.

she looked up and came to hug me, "hello." she said softly.

"you okay?"

"yeah, thanks." she nodded, "do you wanna go upstairs?"

"to where we were before?" i asked and she nodded again, "sure." and she sent a text to the group chat.

ella: we're upstairs x

walking into the room, i went and plonked myself on the bed i slept in last time, pulled ella next to me, and leant down slowly.

i put my arms around her waist as i kissed her softly, happy because i hadn't seen or touched her in five days.

ella cupped my left cheek with her right hand, her left hand playing with my hair, tugging lightly on the roots.

she pulled away after a while, a small smile on her face and our breathing slightly heavy.

"i needed that." i chuckled and she nodded, moving so she was straddling me, and just aimlessly playing with my hair.

"we should go skinny dipping." i randomly suggested, a smirk on my lips.

"can we do it at like midnight?" she said, his eyes lighting up, a smirk on her lips as well.

"yeah." i smiled and she got off me.

"i'll be back in a sec." she said and i heard her running down the stairs.

she returned a minute later with the two puppies, which she placed on my legs, their tails wagging happily as i fussed them, and ella sat sideways, facing the side of me, bambi moving and laying on her lap.

"um, i kinda want another dog." she said, a happy smile on her face. "like, maybe a labrador?"

"yeah, what colour would you get?" i asked, still fussing louis.

"that's the thing, i don't know. like, i would love a black one, but i also want a blonde one." she stated.

"you could get both?"

"yes! i'm gonna go look for them next week, do you want to come with me?" she grinned and i grinned back because of her love for dogs, and the way she's just unpredictable.

"sure, i'd love to." i said and she leant down to kiss bambi on the top of her head.

i heard her front door being opened and she ran downstairs to who i assumed was george, as he lived next-closest.

"i'm gonna get more puppies." i heard her squeal then george chuckled.

"aw, good." george said, and the two of them come back up.

"hey." george smiled to me.

"hi, george." i said, and ella sat where she was before, george sitting opposite her as louis wandered to him, george fussing the puppy.
