My Brother's Best Friend

2:My Girlfriend's Birthday Dog

I woke up the next morning at 08:45 to find Jimmy on the phone. "Thanks, Felix. She's gonna love her."

I sat up as he ended the call, "Who was that?"

"That was Felix, he's gonna stay with us for a while." He sat next to me.

"When's he coming?"

"Later today."

He looked at me like he had something up his sleeve, "Is something wrong, Beasty?" I asked caringly.

"No, I've got a surprise for you, later." He smiled, reassuringly.

I smiled back before standing up, "Okay, well, I'm gonna get dressed and go to the mall for a bit."

"Just let me know when you're going, okay?"

"Okay, Jim Belushi," I said jokingly.

He laughed a bit as I walked to my room and got changed into a black MrBeast shirt, some black Nike sports leggings and some black Nike sport shoes. I went downstairs to see Chris standing really close to Chandler... I ignored it and went out the front to find Jimmy on the porch, looking out the distance. I sat next to him on this cold winter day. My head landed on his shoulder, then he put his head on mine.

"I love you, Lauren."

"I love you too, Jimmy." I kissed his cheek.

"Tell me when you're coming back, okay?"

"I will." I stood up and walked to his car, driving it to the mall.

Jimmy
I watched as Lauren drove away then called Felix. He picked up in five seconds, "Yeah?"

"She's gone."

"Great! I'm bringing her over now."

And in less than ten minutes, he arrived with Lauren's birthday present. Felix hopped out and brought the open container with a female pug puppy in it. "She's going to love her."

"Did she tell you what she wanted to name her?" Felix asked as I grabbed the pug and held her.

"Roxie," I answered.

"Are you two gonna decide who's last name she gets?"

"Yeah, we're gonna talk about it tonight."

Chris then gave me the camera as I gave Roxie to Felix. "You might need this." Then he walked away.

I started recording. "What's up, guys? Today is actually my girlfriend's birthday, and she thinks we forgot. She just doesn't know we actually did remember, and that I bought her a pug that Felix brought."

"No one can say no pugs!" Felix yelled as we both laughed a little.

"When she gets back, the plan is to get her to read a couple of comments from our last video, then we're gonna bring her outside to meet this little bundle of joy." I faced the camera to Felix, who was holding Stacy. "Her name's Roxie, and she's 8 weeks today."

Then my phone buzzed as Bailey came down and took Roxie outside; I gave Felix the camera.

Laurey ❤️ 12:40
I'm almost home, see you in five minutes! 😘

"Lauren just messaged me, she's almost home." I showed the message to the camera.

"Better message back, bro!" Felix said.

"I'm going to!"

Jimmy 12:41
Can't wait to show you your surprise, later!

Then I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw Lauren.

Lauren
I hugged Jimmy once he opened the door, he hugged back. We broke the hug as soon as we heard Felix 'awe' us.

"Hey, Felix!" I greeted.

"Hey, Lauren!"

"Jimmy, did you do something?" I asked him, pretending to be surprised.

"Maybe, why?" he asked nervously as I stared at Felix, holding the camera.

"You said, if I come back to find you with a camera, recording me coming in, you did something. Those were your exact words."

"It's true, he did," Garret agreed with me as he came downstairs.

"Okay, yes, I did something. But you won't be able to see the surprise just yet. I thought you would want to read out some of the comments from our last video."

I smiled brightly at him, "Gladly."

I read some comments aloud from Jimmy's phone for a couple of minutes, when we heard Bailey's voice.

"She can see her surprise now," Bailey said as Jimmy took his phone and gave me a (at this point I was so tired I thought 'fuck it, I'm going to bed', time; 00:26 (12:26AM), word count; 666 (NOT INCLUDING THE SHIT IN THIS WHOLE BRACKET STATEMENT)) blindfold to put over my eyes.

After I put the blindfold on, Jimmy, Bailey, Chris and Chandler led me to the backyard and sat me on the ground. I felt someone sit next to me and take the blindfold off. When I looked to my right, I saw Jimmy sitting next to me, holding a baby pug. I gasped in surprise.

"Oh my god-she's beautiful!" I yelled in surprise as he gave the pug to me. "Is she my surprise?"

"Yeah! Bailey told me how much you really wanted a pug so I thought, why not get you one for your birthday?" I smiled at Jimmy.

"What's her name?"

"Her name's Roxie. The original plan was to get you a pug for your birthday then I ask you out, but that already happened yesterday."

"She looks just like you!" I joked as Jimmy, Felix, the crew and I laughed a bit.

"Happy birthday, lovely," Jimmy said before he kissed my forehead.

I could feel myself blush deep red as the crew and Felix awed.

"Thanks, Beasty," I said as I let Roxie run around. "She is the best birthday present I've ever gotten."

"I'm glad you like her."

"Also, she's getting your last name." As soon as we said that, we all burst into laughter.

"Did not expect that!" Jimmy laughed.

"I know, Jimmy," I said as Felix stopped recording and gave the camera to Bailey.

"I'm gonna go and edit the video," Bailey said as he and the crew went inside, leaving me and Jimmy alone with Roxie.

"This is definitely the best birthday I've ever had, Jim," I told him as we watched Roxie bark at the grass.

We giggled at that, "I can tell you enjoyed it." Then we kissed.
