gift exchange

louis's pov

i wake up at 8:30am to finish off the cake. i take a shower and take care of business. its 9am and i head to the fridge to take the cake out. i do a crumb coat on the cake. i place it back in the fridge and whilst that sets, i spilt the icing and keep half of it white and i make the other half a light blue colour. i take the cake back out and cover it with the light blue colour. then i write 'happy one year' with the white icing and decorate the sides. after i put it back in the fridge so i can finish getting ready. i wear a sweatshirt and some baggy trousers. i wear some rings and a necklace that y/n got me. i rush downstairs and tell y/n that i'll be over in 20 minutes.

i put everything in a picnic basket and get the presents. i put it all into the car and drive to y/n's. i pull up and knock on the door. i feel really nervous but i have no idea why. i love y/n and i wanna spend the rest of my life with her. i'm also feeling happy and excited about today. y/n opens the door in her beautiful yellow dress. she looks prettier than anything imaginable. she jumps into my arms. i whisper into her ear, "happy one year babe..." she giggles and says it back to me. after giving me a kiss, i put her down and we head to the couch. i ask her about the gift exchange. "my stuff is upstairs, i'll go get it!" she says. "mine's in the car, i'll meet you here." she nods and rushes upstairs while i rush to the car. i smile ear to ear imagining y/n's reaction. i grab everything and walk back into the house. y/n's walking down the stairs and her arms filled with presents. we sit on the couch. opposite each other. 

she first gives me a large wrapped present. it was a big rectangle. i thanked her and opened it. as i noticed what it was, i jumped into her arms. "thank you, thank you, thank you" i repeated at least 7 times. i was so happy. i was thinking about it the other day. i kept wishing i bought it that day. i sit back down and opened up the rest of it. i put it to the side and then i gave her a present. it was the summer dress. as soon as she noticed which one it was she smiled. she looked at me, the dress and back at me. this time she had tears into her eyes. she hugged me and whispered into my ear, "thank you lou". 

she sat back down and gave me a bag. i looked at her and she had a bright smile painted onto her face. i chuckled and looked into the bag. i could not believe at what i saw. it was two sweaters that i have had my eye on for a very long time. i took them out of the bag and then hugged them. i thanked y/n and gave a her a kiss. i put it the sweaters back into the bag and grabbed a small red velvet box. i passed it to y/n and she opened up. she giggled and thanked me. she gave me her ring and she took the ring that was meant to go around my ring. she grabbed my hand and slipped the ring onto my index finger. i smiled and slipped her ring into her index finger. i gave her a kiss and she sat back down. fidgeting with her ring and smiling. 

she gives me two wrapped presents that look like small boxes. i took them from her and opened them up. as soon as i realised what they were i gasped. i wanted to read these books for the longest time. i thanked y/n a million times. she asked me to open it up and on the first page of both books were signed by the author. i screamed while y/n laughed. after a hug and a kiss, i gave her the photo books. she opened them and a smile crept onto her face. "oh my god, no louis listen... its not my fault i have too many polaroids" she laughed. i always make fun out of her for the amount of polaroids she has. we laughed and she thanked me. 

she finally gave me a large present. it was like a big square. i opened up the wrapping paper and saw a photo book. i chuckled and looked up at y/n. i motioned for her to sit next to me and she did. we flicked through the pages together, remember old times. laughing and teasing each other. while y/n was laughing, i looked at her. her smile brightened up my whole world. when she noticed me staring at her, he laughed a "what?" i shook my head and we continued to flick through the book. after our bellies were hurting from how much we had been laughing, i gave her the card. she read it and her eyes were filled with tears at the end. she finished reading and we hugged. there was nothing else to bother us. we were lost in each other's arms. after we pulled away. we made our way to the car for the picnic.
