See. Told you the writing marathon would end. Lol. I knew it would happen. Anyways, I'm hoping that I can write that much this week as well. At this moment I'm trying to decide how many chapters I want this to be. It will be probably somewhere in the upper twenties. I have already started on my next story but I won't be putting it up until this one is done so I don't just completely stop working on it. As always I hope you all like this chapter and please review! Thanks. I love you all!
Carlos POV:
I had been thinking about James proposing to Kendall since I got the news. Of course I was happy for them, I mean how could I not be? But part of me was kind of jealous. I had wanted to propose to Logan for so long and now that I was going to it just felt weird to do so when those two just got engaged. Wasn't there like a rule stating that best friends can't get engaged in the same year or something? I didn't really know if that was a legit rule but it still didn't feel right to get engaged so soon after they did. Maybe I was just too paranoid about everything. I could always talk to James about it though. He probably wouldn't give a damn if I proposed to Logan an hour after he proposed to Kendall though. He just wanted us happy and I knew he would just tell me to go for it. What about Kendall though? I could always talk to him about it.
I shook my head and sighed. It was around noon and nobody had been home. James took Kendall out on a date or something so they could talk about wedding plans and Logan went to check out some lecture for med school. I needed to go for a run around town. That would help me figure things out. I put on some sweats and a tank top and grabbed a hoodie and my Iphone before running out the door. Logan and I wouldn't be getting married until he was done with a few years of schooling so maybe it would be best to just wait to propose. I had bought the ring months ago knowing that I wanted to marry him eventually and decided to maybe look for a different one. At the time I didn't have too much money so I couldn't buy anything extravagant but now I could afford something a little better. I smiled thinking about Logan in a white tux all fancy. He would look absolutely stunning on our wedding day. I turned a corner and as I was running past a store something caught my eye. I turned around and saw the cutest little dog in the world. It was jumping up and down with its paws on the glass window. It was a bunch of different colors and so tiny. Its little tongue was sticking out of its mouth and I saw that it was barking even though I couldn't hear it through the glass.
It was like the puppy was calling my name and I couldn't resist. I took my headphones off and shoved them into my pocket. I spotted a little old lady working at the front desk and walked up to her. She looked up at me and smiled, "May I help you?"
"Umm, yes. That puppy that's in the front window, is it for sale?"
"Oh yes! She's a cute one isn't she? Would you like to play with her for a little while?"
I nodded and she walked me to a tiny room in the back of the store.
She said, "Wait here. I'll be right back with her."
A few moments later she came back holding the energetic little puppy. The lady put her down on the floor next to me and she immediately jumped up to lick my face.
I laughed, "You're an energetic one aren't you?" She barked at me as if she understood what I had asked her and I smiled. I turned to the sales woman and asked, "How old is she?"
"She's 4 months old. She'll be five next week."
"Does she have a name?"
The old woman shook her head and said, "I bet you would think of a wonderful name for her though."
I knew that I shouldn't buy her. Logan was more of a cat person but I really wanted her. Besides, I was really lonely recently since the summer had ended and Logan was back in school. I thought for a minute and made my decision.
I looked up at the woman, "I'll take her!"
She clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "Alright! She'll need a few things before you leave. I'll let you know everything that you'll have to get for her. I also have a sheet of things that you may have to do to take care of her."
I picked up my new puppy and carried her in my arms throughout the store as the nice lady showed me all of the things I would need for her. She told me that she wouldn't get much bigger and that once if I wanted to buy any clothes or anything for her that she would be able to wear them forever. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to buy anything that was unnecessary at this point so I just bought the necessities. Once everything was paid for and ready to go I took the collar and put it around her neck. I really needed to think of a name for her so I could buy her a tag. Surely Logan could help me with that.
I picked up my new baby and looked into her eyes, "Wait till you meet Logie! He's going to absolutely adore you!" I kissed her nose and walked back to the apartment with a big smile on my face.
Logan POV:
I was driving home from my lecture thinking that I might have to pick up some dinner for Carlos. I knew he had been alone at home all day so I thought that he might want some take out instead of making dinner. I picked up my phone and pressed '1'. It started ringing and when he picked up the phone he sounded extremely happy. I smiled as he went on about how he couldn't wait till I got home and then he asked about my day.
"It was good. The lecture was really wonderful. I talked to the surgeon after it ended and he said that maybe I could be his intern once I was ready for it! I'm super excited!"
"That's great Logie! You'll do so amazing! Are you on your way home?"
I couldn't help but chuckle at how excited he was. "Yea. I should be home in no more than 30 minutes. I was actually calling to see if you wanted me to pick up some dinner for us."
"Pizza!" In the background I could've swore that I heard a noise.
"Ok. Umm, what was that? Are James and Kendall home yet?"
He hesitated a bit and said, "No! That was the uh, TV!"
I raised my eyebrow in confusion and said, "Well alright then. I'll get the pizza and I'll be home soon."
"Yay! Bye Logie! I love you!"
I smiled, "Bye Los. Love you too."
I shook my head at my over ecstatic boyfriend and drove to the closest pizza place. It was 10 minutes until the pizza was done and I couldn't wait to get home to question Carlos about his odd behavior. I mean he's normally happy that I'm coming home but not that happy. About 20 minutes later I pulled into a parking spot and grabbed my bag and the pizza. Right when I got my keys out to unlock the door to our apartment Carlos opened it and pulled me inside.
"Hey Babe." I gave him a quick kiss and handed him our dinner.
He set it on the table and grabbed two plates out of the cupboard.
I looked at him and thought he seemed normal now. No sudden outbursts or unusual behavior yet. I shrugged and said, "I'm gonna go change out of these dress clothes. I'll be right back."
He grabbed me by the wrist and he looked sort of frantic. "Wait! Don't you want to eat first? You don't want the pizza to get cold!"
"It'll only take a second. No big deal."
He ran in front of me and blocked our bedroom door.
I groaned, "Los, let me in our room. I've been in these clothes all day. I want to be comfortable."
He shook his head and said, "Here, switch clothes with me."
He started to remove his pants and I put my hand under his chin to make him look at me. "I don't want your clothes. Let me in our room."
The stern look I was giving must have made him realize that he wasn't going to win. He let out a sigh and said, "Ok. Just don't be alarmed."
I gave him a confused look and turned the knob on the door. "What would I be alarme-" My mouth fell open and my eyes went wide. There was a dog by the foot of our bed chewing on one of my shoes. I turned to Carlos wanting to say something but nothing came out.
He yelled, "Surprise!"
I walked over to the dog and took my shoe away then pointed at it. "A dog? What possessed you to get a dog? Where did you get it? Why?"
Carlos' shoulders slumped down and quietly said, "I thought you would like it. She really wanted to come home with me and I just couldn't resist. I'm always home alone and I thought that she would make both of us happy."
Great, now he was sad. Nice job Logan.
I walked over to Carlos and put my arms around him. "I love her."
He pushed me back and put his hands on my shoulders, "Really?!" I nodded and he ran over to pick her up. "He likes you baby girl!" He hugged her tight and I couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of me.
"What's her name?"
"We have to name her still. I've been thinking about it for hours."
"Well let's discuss it while we eat dinner."
He happily sauntered out of the room with the puppy in his hands. I sighed thinking about what a life it would be having to take care of two hyperactive loved ones. It would be a lot of work.
Kendall POV:
"So I would say red is out of the question. If anyone is going to wear red it's going to be the best man or something."
James looked at me and sighed, "What color do you want then?"
"I think that green is a good color."
"Green is your choice for everything. Why not mix it up a bit?"
"I just think that green would look great. You don't agree?"
He sighed in defeat and said, "Ok. Green it is. Whatever my lady would like."
I glared at him and punched him in the arm. "I am not a lady James David."
He chuckled, "You know I'm just kidding. I meant whatever makes you happy makes me happy."
I smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek. "That is much better."
He rolled his eyes, "Yea, yea. We'll decide what shade of green you would like on a different day. Ok?"
I nodded and he continued to look through the tuxedos that were in the store. Of course to him not every tuxedo was acceptable. He had to be very precise on what style it was. They all looked the same to me so all I cared about was colors. We didn't have a set date for our wedding yet but we decided that it would be sometime in the winter. We both loved that time of year and we had some fond memories playing in the snow. I was day dreaming about our childhood when someone came up behind me and put their hands on my shoulders.
"Ready Darling? We still have to find a photographer that you would like."
I thought for a minute and said, "I think I know someone that can be our photographer."
"And who might that be? Do I know this person?"
I nodded, "Indeed you do. Remember my best friend from back in the day?"
He whined, "Nooo. Please Kendall. Don't make me see him."
"Either way he's going to be at the wedding and you have to get over it. I miss him. I hate that he moved away."
James hung his head and said, "Alright. Call him tonight or something then. I know I don't get a say in this anyway."
"I love you, Jamesy."
He laughed, "Yea, I'm sure you do."
I looked at him with puppy dog eyes and he sighed.
"I love you too, Kendall."
I kissed him and pulled him out of the store. "Come on. It won't be that bad. He's nice. You just have to get to know him."
"He hates me Babe. Ever since high school when I accidentally broke his guitar he just glares at me."
"Well you know he's protective over that."
"I do now! I didn't know that he had some obsession with until he attacked me for breaking a string!"
I laughed, "That was funny."
James glared at me and I poked his nose.
"Don't be grumpy mister. We still have to go to dinner."
He nodded and grabbed my hand to lead me to the restaurant down the street. "Alright. Just please tell him to be nice to me."
"I will. Don't worry. I'm sure Dustin is a changed man."
"Oh yea. I'm sure."
He rolled his eyes again but I couldn't be more thrilled to see my best friend again.
This chapter wasn't too bad. I really felt like Carlos needed a dog though so yea. Lol. It's supposed to look like Stella. I also thought that this story needed some Dustin in it before it ended. He's going to be in it a little bit too as it goes on. Well, let me know your thoughts! Love you all!
