Taytum's POV:
I get into Owen's car and we drive to wherever he was taking me. "You look nice." Owen said. "Thank you." I said and smiled. We arrived at the destination. I got out and said to Owen, "Just to say I knew you where hiding something from me.", "Ok. I'm sorry." He said. I smiled at him. We got to the place a 5:30pm.Owen opened the door for me. "Oh just one more thing before we go in. Happy Birthday." He said giving me a hug. "Thank you. You are the only one who remembered." I say. Owen put a blindfold over my face so I couldn't see anything. He opened a door and we walked in together. We came to a stop. Owen took my blindfold off my face.
"SURPRISE!!" I hear people shout. "OMG...guys!" I say giggling a bit and nearly on the verge of tears.
"Who did this for me?" I asked. "Henry." They said. "Henry did this." I asked. I see him in the crowd. I walk over to him. I kiss him straight away not caring who is watching. The kiss ends with cheering and a hug. "Happy Birthday Taytum." He says giving me another kiss. "Wow. I thought everyone forgot." I said. "No they didn't. They where all in on this." He said. "You did a great job." I said. "Thank you." He said. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" I shout.Everyone I know is here. Jody is here all the England rugby squad is here. My family is here, Henry's family is here, Owen's family is here. Everyone is here. I walk to my family with Henry. "Mum, dad. This is Henry my boyfriend." I say. "It's nice to meet you properly this time and Happy Birthday Taytum." My mum says giving both of us a hug, one at a time. "Yeah you too." Henry says with a smile. "Got yourself a good one Taytum. Happy Birthday." My dad said. "Well done mate." He said to Henry. Me and Henry left my family to enjoy the party. We went over to the rugby squad.
I danced with everyone. It was so fun. The music was being played, people chatting, dancing and eating. It wasn't a party were people got drunk. It was just a normal get together party. James walks in with the cake about 10 minutes after I went around to see everyone. He walked towards me with the cake. It was a rectangular shape cake, with chocolate and sprinkles on top. There was also another cake for the ones who don't like chocolate cake. "Taytum, Jody and your mum made the cake. With a little help by some of the rugby lads." James said as he lit the candles then everyone started to sing.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Taytum,
Happy Birthday to you."Make a wish." People where saying. I blew out the candles and made my wish. I cut the cake and ate some. It was delicious. Everyone started digging into the cake. I was so happy to see everyone get together for this. I have prepared a birthday speech for everyone. I tell someone who is near the stage area and they walk on stage. Everyone goes silent. "The birthday girl would like to say a few words." Someone said through the microphone.
"Hey. Well first off I would like to thank all of you for coming to this surprise party. It has been amazing. Thank you. I would like to thank the whole England rugby squad for getting me a job as the new physio. It has been a real pleasure working with you guys and can't wait for more. I originally came down to surprise Owen because I hadn't seen him in years. But it turns out I met someone who I really love. Thanks Owen." I say. A little giggled was heard from the crowd of people.
"I would like to thank Henry who got this party going without me knowing a single thing. I love you. Thank you everyone for supporting me with my job. Especially my family who has been here with me all the way, thank you. Thank you for coming and enjoy the rest of the party." I say into the microphone and walk off stage. They all cheered and carried on enjoying themselves.
An hour after my speech, people started to leave. "Thank you for letting us come." Some people say when they go. "My pleasure. When everyone goes, it is just me, Henry, Owen, Jack, James and my family. I walk over to Henry and give him a big hug. "I love you so much." I say. "I love you more though." He says. We kiss each other and hug again. I started to pick up the rubbish and gave some cake to my family and friends. "Happy Birthday Taytum." Chelsea says. "Aww, thank you sis." I say to her. "I would of said it earlier but you where too busy talking to other people." She says. I hug her as a thank you.
Owen gets his stuff and leaves us just to pack away the last few things. "Thank you Owen for today." I say to him before he left. "It's ok anything for my best friend." He says. I give him a really big hug before letting him leave so he could go home and rest.
When everything is packed away Henry and I head home for the night. I go up to bed and put my pyjamas on then getting in bed. Henry gets in the bed with me. "Thank you for a great birthday." I say to him. "Anything for you my dear." He says giving me a kiss on the forehead, then wrapping his arms around me. "I love you Henry." I say to him before falling asleep. "I love you too Taytum." Henry says. We both fall asleep in each others arms.
I can't thank him enough. I really do love him so much; to the moon and back.
