As soon as I met those brown eyes I was in love. My heart sank and I needed to have him; I wouldn't allow nothing less than a yes. I looked over to Mike, whom was scanning other brown-eyed beauties, and the second he looked at my expression, he knew that I had made my decision.

He smiled then walked over to the associate near us and pointed, "We'll take that little guy." The employee, named Greg, smiled and made his way over to us, unlocking the cage in front of me. His khaki pants had a set of keys hanging from the loop, making them jingle whenever he moved. His blue collared shirt had the pet store's name branded on it, his white name tag underneath.

The puppy was jumping for joy as soon as he saw Greg open the cage. Once the man placed him into my arms, the pup licked my face and wagged it's tail insanely. The biggest grin I've ever had came about as I held him. It was a perfect match to say the least.

Mike and I continued to walk around the pet store, grabbing the essentials for the new puppy. We picked out a dog bed, food, some toys, a small blanket, shampoo, collar, and the food and water bowls for him the eat and drink out of. As I was digging into my purse for my wallet, Mike slyly pulled out his credit card and the man took it without hesitation, swiping it.

As soon as he signed the receipt, I furrowed my eyebrows, making sure he caught it. "What?" He chuckled, holding the bags that carried the items we just bought. The items he bought I should say.

"Why'd you pay for everything? I could've paid for stuff, too." Why did he always have to pay for everything? I felt like a little bitch whenever somebody pays for my stuff.

"Oh shut up, it's my present to you." He placed a small kiss on my forehead, then kissed the puppy's forehead. "What are we gonna name our new baby?"

"Our new baby?" I smirked, looking over to him as we had both sat down and settled into our seats in his car.

"Yes." He held his head high, cockily. "What do you think we should name him?"

"Nothing stupid, obviously."

"So, something from Harry Potter, then?"

I rolled my eyes, "I swear if it's something lame, I'm killing you."

He chewed on his lip for a moment, then shouted, "Either Draco or Ludo? Ludo short for Ludovic." He said matter-of-factly.

"I kind of like Ludo!" I smiled, petting our newly named puppy that sat on my lap.

"Well, Ludo, let's get you to your new home." Mike gently pet the black Pug, than started up his car and drove to my house.

Once we got to my place, I put Ludo down so he could sniff around and get used to everything. Mike sat down and I watched Ludo, making sure he didn't pee or shit on my floor. "He's so cute." I swooned, looking down at the little Pug before me. "Thank you, Mikey."

He grinned, pulling me onto his lap, "You're welcome, baby. Now you won't be alone when I leave in a week!"

I looked over to him and stuck out my lip, "I'm sad. But now, I'm not as sad because I have a new boy in my life."

"He's our creation!" He joked, laughing hysterically.

"Ew, fucking weirdo!" I kissed his lips softly and made my way to little Ludo. I picked him and carried him outside so he knew to use the restroom out there. I sat on the patio and looked over at Mike whom had stood up from the chair and went into the kitchen. There he goes, cooking again. I looked back at Ludo as he walked around, smelling the grass, and trees that were planted into the ground. He peed on just about every one of them, marking his territory.

Mike and I weren't together, that's for sure. But, we were just going with the flow. I loved him, he loved me, we knew we wanted to be with one another. I wanted it to happen before he left for tour, but we were just letting things fall as they may. I was happy to be with him, though. Being in his presence was enough for me.

"What time were Brandon and Steph coming over?" Mike's voice suddenly appeared from the door.

"Um, 8 I think?"

"Okay, let me call him and see if he wants to pick up a few pizzas or something."

"Sounds delicious!" I exclaimed, earning a chuckle to come from him.

He went back inside and Ludo stopped and looked over at me, then continued to run around and play for a few more minutes. He followed me inside and ran to his bed where Mike had set it up along with his blanket. He laid down and fell asleep. "Aw, he's sleepy." I gushed over how cute he looked and took out my phone to snap a picture, then uploading it to Instagram, titling it, "Meet mine and @ptvmike's baby: Ludo." In a flash of time, it received many comments and likes, saying how cute he was. Austin liked it, which was strange for me because him and I haven't spoke since that whole little thing that happened a few weeks ago.

I missed Austin. He was my best friend. I wanted to be able to tell him how happy I was about Mike and I working things out, but I didn't know how weird that would be for him. I figured I would give him his space, especially since he was busy recording the new Of Mice and Men album. I wouldn't want to be a distraction with my life.

Brandon sipped on his beer of choice as we all sat around outside, the cool Los Angeles night chilling us. Mike handed me his hoodie so I could warm up. Shannon and Cristian had come with them, so I was extra happy to see all of them. We all were sitting around a table after dinner, talking about life. I looked over at how Brandon and Shannon were still so close and part of me wishes that I was still with them. They always complained how they wished I was back in San Diego, but they didn't understand, even 'till this day, how much being here in LA means to me; how much my job means to me.

I love being able to write about the one thing I love: music, and getting to let people into my mind and how and what I think about new music and certain bands. Mike understood, so did Brandon, but Shannon, Lynda, Cristian, and Justin didn't seem too. But lately, this two hour commute between Mike and I was annoying the both of us. I knew he would never leave San Diego; his parents were there, his brother, his band, and his friends. I on the other hand, wouldn't leave LA. But, I wasn't going to think about that right now. I was going to just hang out with my friends and forget about my blurring thoughts.

They stayed for a little while longer, then once they left, Mike noticed that I was falling asleep on the couch. "Come here, my little Luce. Let's go to sleep." He picked me up and carried me into my room, carrying Ludo's bed and blanket with him so Ludo could follow and sleep in my room as well. He laid me down on my bed and kissed my head. I was in his hoodie and a pair of black leggings, falling deeper into a slumber by the second. He joined me under the covers once he was stripped from his shirt and jeans. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the back of my neck, "I love you, Lucy."

I softly smiled, talking almost down to a whisper. "I love you too, Mike."

Notes

Here we have a little filler of just a new addition to the Garcia household, and some cute little moments between Lucy and Mike. What do you think about Lucy's thoughts about the distance between her and Mike? Should either of them be worried?

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GOOD LUCKS, I got hired on the spot and I am now officially a Bath and Body Works employee! I am so fucking happy, like you guys don't even know. These past few weeks have been so bad for me and having this job is truly a blessing :)
