the next morning....

i woke up a little earlier than normal, just so i could get all of ollie's presents ready and to make sure his breakfast was here. i wanted him to have the perfect day, and that started with his favourite breakfast when he wakes up.

once everything was ready, ollie still wasn't awake so i slip into bed with him once again, his arms subconsciously wrapping around me.

"good morning baby." ollie grumbles a few minutes later, tightening his grip on my slightly.

"happy birthday love." i say, looking up at his face which was currently very sleepy.

"two more minutes?"he asks, without opening his eyes.

"however long you want, it's your day." i whisper in reply, resting my head on his chest as his hand moves to my hair as he begins to wrap it around his fingers gently.

eventually, he properly wakes up even though he still refused to let me get out of bed.

"ol, i know i said we had all the time we wanted but we actually have to meet someone at 12, and it's already almost 10. so will you please open your presents now?"

"who are we meeting?" he asks, as i walk over to the table to grab the bags of gifts.

"someone you know very well and haven't seen in a while." i say, placing the gifts down on the bed sitting cross legged in front of him.

"baby, i told you not to get me anything." he says, as i try to hand him the first gift.

"oliver, it is your 20th birthday. your first birthday with me. of course i'm going to spoil you!"

"but that's my job." he playfully argues.

"nope, it's mine. now open it!" i say, as he reluctantly takes the box.

i nervously watch him open all his gifts, hoping he would like them all. thankfully he did, he loved them. and now there was one final present.

"okay, this is the last one. i promise." i say, handing him a small box.

he opens it before taking the watch out of the box and looking up at me.

"do you like it? if not i can't return-" i start to say.

"ang, i love it. i love you. he says, before putting the watch down and kissing my forehead.

"i love you too ol." i reply, smiling across at my boyfriend. my boyfriend.

"look at the back of it." i say.

he turns it over to reveal an " A + O " engraved onto the back of the rolex watch.

"i love it even more." he says, before putting it on.

"are you hungry?" i ask.

"yeah, actually." he replies as i get up to go and get the tray which had lots of different fruit and pastries on it.

"this is perfect, thank you love." ollie says as we sit eating together whilst engrossed in conversation.

"what should i wear?" he asks once we were finished eating.

"something comfortable, we will come back to change before tonight." i reply, whilst grabbing my own clothes and heading to the bathroom to change.

"can i please open my eyes now?" ollie asks for the 34th time

"can i please open my eyes now?" ollie asks for the 34th time.

"nope!" i reply, guiding him down to the hotel lobby trying to not make him walk into anything.

"baby, i trust you with my life, with everything. but i do not trust you with the safety of my big toe. so please can i open my eyes." he asks again.

"wow, thanks for letting me know how much you really love me. but yes, i guess you can now." i say, removing my hands from over his eyes.

"tom?!" he says, looking back at me with a smile on his face before hugging his younger brother.

"happy birthday ollie." tom say, once ollie pulls away.

"did you do this?" he asks me, and i nod.

"yeah." i reply, smiling at how happy ollie was to be back with his brother.

"mum and dad are here too, but they aren't coming to your surprise." tom says.

"oh right, and the surprise is?" ollie asks, trying to get it out of his brother.

"not mine to tell." he replies, laughing.

"okay, let's go to the taxi before it leaves without us. and everyone is already there." i say, as the two brothers start talking and catching up after not seeing each other for a while.

finally, we arrive at the secret place. and once again i cover ollie's eyes as we climb out of the taxi.

"okay, ready?" i say, once ollie was finally in front of everyone.

"yes!" he says, as i remove my hands to reveal our friends all in karting suits, helmets in hand.

kimi, paul, liam, franco, luke, fred (vesti), zane, dino and arthur

"happy birthday" they all say, and ollie looks back at me with a smile.

"karting? it's perfect." he says, before hugging me.

"well let's change into our suits and get onto the track then!" i say, before dragging tom and ollie was to put the racing overalls on over our clothes as everyone else already had.

"what about our helmets?" ollie asks.

"kimi brought them, they should be just over there." i say, pointing to our three helmets on the table.

"great, i'm going to beat you just so your aware." he says, laughing.

"excuse me? no, i'm winning." i say, gently hitting him on the arm.

"i think your both mistaken. i'm winning, i was in karting just last year!" tom says.

"and that's why, your my teammate for the race." i say, putting my arm across toms shoulder.

"wow, choosing my brother over me?"

"i'm pretty sure kimi has already taken you as his teammate so it's only fair." i reply, smiling at ollie.

"he's just jealous that we are going to win." tom says, and we all laugh again.

"yeah sure." ollie says.
