The moment that Scarlet’s eyes fell on the little ball of fluff in his arms she could feel herself already completely in love with the puppy. “You got me a puppy?” She asked him in disbelief as she leaned down in order to rub the little dog between her ears. “Aren’t you just the most beautiful little girl in the whole wide world?” the princess asked her even if she knew that it was silly to talk to the dog, but she didn’t hold back. She stood up in order to press a quick kiss to her body guard’s cheek, “Thank you, Antonio. I promise to give her the absolute best life and you’re going to help me raise her.”

Antonio rolled his eyes lightly, while a small smile grew on his lips before shaking his head at the young princess. “No. I just brought her over here to show you how pretty she is, she’s honestly someone else’s dog but they let me borrow her.” He tried to keep his voice serious, but he knew he failed the moment his smile got bigger.  “Also, I didn’t get you a puppy, I found you a puppy on my way here. Someone just abandoned her in an alleyway, and I thought she could use a better family.” The brunette answered, as a sigh escaped his lips. A brow raised as she kissed his cheek, while dark hues studied her for a moment. “It’s nothing, honestly. I just thought you’ll appreciate her more than anyone. And I know you would give her the best life, she deserves it honestly. When did I agree to be a pet dad or anything?” The male questioned, while lightly petting the puppy’s head.

Scarlet was filled with impatience as she decided to see if her bodyguard was full of himself or if he did have a surprise for her. She knew that there was a chance that he was trying to trick her into opening the door, but she knew that she had no other choice. The princess slowly opened the door as she poked her head around the piece of wood, “If you’re empty handed I’m firing you.”

Antonio moved to place his phone back in his pocket, before he was adjusting his grip on the tiny ball of moving fluff. A ball of fluff that he found sitting in a box in an alley all by her lonesome, which cause the bodyguard to stop in his tracks and decide to bring her to where he was going. He was angry that someone just left her there like she meant nothing, an anger that built the longer he was spending time with her, however there was at the end of the tunnel and caused a slight smile to appear on his lips. The brunette knew the princess would love to have a dog, and he couldn’t think of anyone better than her to care for the puppy in his arms. Antonio rolled his eyes when Scarlet’s words hit his ears, before he was moving off the wall to stand in front of the shorter royal. “I’m not empty handed, maybe I should’ve just brought you a teddy bear,  and kept this sweetheart to myself.”

Scarlet: But now you'll get the satisfaction of me letting you in and who knows if you really have a surprise for me.

Antonio: I like how you think you'll be faster than me, but it's good to have dreams.

Scarlet: SHE wears a bow better than you. It's either a dog or a child and no one in their right mind would bring me a child.

Antonio: I assure you, your chances of being shot are slim to none. Besides, I'll be taking the bullet for you.

Scarlet:....I swear if you don't have a dog in your arms this very moment, Tonio, I'm getting a new body guard.

Antonio: That yet is what worries me.

Scarlet: Teddy is too busy questioning his life choices to be outside my door right now.

Scarlet: I swear if you're out in the hall wearing a bow I'm giving you a raise.

Antonio: But true.

Antonio: I think that's part of the job description. Pretty sure I read about it when I became your bodyguard.

Scarlet: If I open the door and it's just a teddy bear I'm going to be sorely disappointed I hope you know.

Antonio: Oh, is that you? Have I been watching the wrong person since I started?

Antonio: Huh, maybe it's just Teddy standing there instead.

Antonio: I say just arrived, but I've been around and making sure you haven't gotten into something or another.
