The Love Story Between Sophie Thompson And Niall Horan

Chapter 10, Our One Year Anniversary

February 29th 2012
As I woke up excitement bubbled inside me. Tomorrow marked a whole year since Niall asked me to be his girlfriend, and I wanted to make it special. I lay in bed, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, and replayed that magical moment in my mind—the way his eyes sparkled with hope, the nervousness in his voice, and how my heart raced as I said yes.

After getting ready, I decided to head out and find the perfect gift for him. I wanted it to be something meaningful, something that captured our journey together over the past year. I grabbed my jacket and headed to the nearby shops, my mind racing with ideas.

As I walked, I reflected on how much had changed since that day. Our relationship had blossomed, filled with laughter, adventures, and unforgettable moments. I thought about all the late-night talks, the concerts, and the quiet times spent simply enjoying each other's company. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of our future.

After browsing a few stores, I found a small, elegant silver bracelet. It was simple but beautiful, much like the love we shared. I decided to have it engraved with the date—March 1, 2011—so he would always remember the day it all began.

With the bracelet carefully tucked away in a small box, I felt a rush of anticipation. I wanted tomorrow to be perfect. I envisioned us reminiscing about our first date, sharing our favorite memories, and maybe even making some new ones.

Later that evening, as I sat down to plan out the night, I picked up my phone to text Niall.

Hey! Can't wait to celebrate our one-year anniversary tomorrow! I have a little surprise planned for you!

I hit send, a grin spreading across my face at the thought of his reaction. After a moment, my phone buzzed with his reply.

You're making me curious! Can't wait!

As I settled in for the night, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves. I wanted everything to go smoothly. I thought about what to wear, how to make the evening special, and what I wanted to say.

With a soft sigh, I climbed into bed, feeling grateful for the love we shared. As I drifted off to sleep, I imagined tomorrow—the laughter, the memories, and the promise of many more years to come. The next morning, I woke up with a flutter of excitement in my stomach. It was finally March 1st—the day Niall and I had officially become a couple. I quickly got ready, choosing a light blue dress that I knew he loved. It was casual yet special, perfect for the occasion.

After breakfast, I spent the morning preparing for the evening ahead. I wanted to create a cozy atmosphere at my place, so I set up fairy lights and lit some scented candles. The soft glow and gentle aroma of vanilla filled the room, adding to the warmth I wanted to create.

As the afternoon rolled around, I decided to text Niall.

Can't wait to see you later! Just finishing up a few things!

I glanced at the clock, knowing he would be arriving soon. I could hardly contain my excitement, and I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when I presented him with the bracelet. It felt like a tangible reminder of our journey, and I hoped it would mean as much to him as it did to me.

When Niall finally arrived, he knocked on the door with an eager anticipation that made my heart race. I opened the door to find him standing there, a broad smile on his face and a bouquet of wildflowers in his hands.

"Happy anniversary, Sophie!" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.

I couldn't help but blush as I accepted the flowers. "Thank you! They're beautiful!" I said, inhaling their sweet scent.
