A Love Story-Thomas Brodie Sangster

Chapter 16- Happy Birthday!

(Your POV)

Today was Thomas's birthday and I thought I could surprise him. I knew he wasn't the one to have big parties, so I just thought a nice day together would be cute. I had set my alarm for 7:00 in the morning and started to get ready for today.

"Okay mum, i'm off to Thomas's house. See you tonight." I said heading for the front door.

"Okay. Have fun. And don't do anything to crazy." She said looking out from the kitchen. I had gotten into my car that I had gotten in the beginning of the school year and made my way to Thomas's house.

"Good morning Mrs. Sangster. Is Thomas still sleeping?" I asked walking into her kitchen.

"Hi sweetie." She said giving me a hug. "Yes, Thomas is still sleeping upstairs. What time were you planning on taking him out?"

"It doesn't really matter. I don't want to rush you guys. Whenever he's ready."

"Okay, well i'll be making breakfast soon and once Thomas is done eating you guys are free to go." She said taking out food from the fridge.

"Sounds good." I headed up to Thomas's bedroom and let out a quiet laugh. He was so cute when he slept. The duvet was pulled up to his chest and his arm was hanging off of the bed. I opened the slightly closed door and tried to be as loud as possible.

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" I said running to his bed and kneeled on it while jumping up and down. He continued to sleep so I started shaking him. "COME ON BIRTHDAY BOY, WAKE UP! WAKE UP TOMMY" Once he heard the word "Tommy" his eyes shot open.

"Bloody hell (y/n)! What are you doing in my bedroom?!" Thomas said pulling up the duvet to his neck.

"Come on, were gonna celebrate your birthday today!" I said still jumping up and down. "I have everything planned were gonna go sky diving and hiking and zip lining. It's gonna be so much fun." I looked at Thomas and he started turning pale. "I'm just kidding Tommy. But, if you're not gonna get out of bed soon then I will be taking you sky diving, so you can wake up."

"Okay okay. I'm gonna get out of bed, but can you just let me change." He said.

"Okay, i'll meet you downstairs." I said walking out of his room.

"Nice job getting Thomas out of bed." Mrs. Sangster says giving me a high five. "You know I can't even get Thomas out of his bed."

"Really? But I would think that he would listen to you."

"Nope not at all. Maybe I should start yelling when I go into his room and start jumping on his bed." We both started laughing and haven't even noticed that Thomas had came down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"What's all the laughing about?" Thomas said looking more awake then before.

"Hey sleeping beauty, did you have a good sleep?" I said walking up to Thomas. I could hear Mrs. Sangster laughing behind me.

"It's not my fault that I was trying to sleep. Plus it's my birthday, so shouldn't I be allowed to sleep in. And why are you here?"

"Well if you just finish your breakfast then we'll be on our way."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see, but you have to eat your breakfast first. Mum's orders." Thomas and I had ended up sitting outside on the patio as I was waiting for him to finish his breakfast.

"Are you sure that you don't wanna eat anything?" Thomas says chewing on his food.

"No i'm fine, I ate before I came here."

"You sure? I don't want you starving."

"Yes i'm sure. Now hurry up so we can get going." I knew I told Mrs. Sangster that I don't wanna rush him, but as time went on I knew that we had to get going. It took Thomas 15 minutes to finish his food and freshen up. I decided to just wait in my car for him.

"Okay, let's go" I have been driving around for 40 minutes now and Thomas hasn't been saying a word. "You okay there Tommy? You haven't been saying anything."

"Yeah i'm just trying to think where were going." Thomas always new that I wasn't the best at hiding secrets and right now was one of those times, I wanted to tell him all the things I had planned for his birthday. A few minutes later, I had finally turned to park on the side of the road.

"Okay were here." I said turning and smiling at Thomas in the car.

"But there's nothing to do here." He said looking We both had gotten out of the car and I was glancing at my watch. It's almost 9:00. Just. One. More. Minute.

"Carriage for (y/n)?" The coachmen said. I didn't tell Thomas, but I thought it would be romantic for us to ride in a carriage together through the town of Windsor.

"Yes, that's me." I said going up and giving him the money. When I looked back at Thomas he seemed eager to get onto the carriage. He quickly ran past me and got on.

"I always wanted to ride in one of these. This is brilliant." He said as the carriage was on it's way. I had leaned my head on his shoulder and he had placed a kiss on my forehead. "I can already tell today is going to be amazing." He whispered in my ear. All I could do was smile and went back to taking in the view. It was just beautiful as I never used to go to this part of the UK. I mostly spent time in London, but being able to escape that fast life was nice. We had made it to our first destination. It was a park with willow trees and a river.

"Okay, were here Ms. (y/l/n)" The coachman said.

"Thank you, and we'll see you back in two hours." I turned behind me and opened a compartment that had a picnic basket and a blanket.

"Wow, you really planned this out didn't you." Thomas said looking at me as I grabbed everything I needed.

"Well I don't want to ruin your birthday." Thomas had got out first and placed his hand out, so that he could help me to get down. We walked around for a little bit, trying to find a nice spot to sit. We ended up under a tree next to the calming river. I had placed the blanket down and took out the food from the basket.

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

"A bit. What kind of food did you bring?"

"I brought sandwiches, fruits, Madeleine's-"

"Oohhh I want Madeleine's." I laughed at how much Thomas liked those. Just as he was about to take a bite out of it, I took it out of his hands and ate a piece. When I looked back up Thomas looked shocked.

"(y/n) I don't think you realize what you have just done." He said coming closer to me.

"What? I just took a bite." I said not knowing what I did wrong. Just then Thomas came towards me and he carried me.

"Thomas?! What are you doing?" I said screaming.

"I won't let you down until you take back what you did."

"What do you want me to do throw up what I just ate?" I said hanging from his shoulder.

"No but you could apologize." Then I had a good idea. Thomas had moved me so that now he was carrying me bridal style. I had leaned into Thomas and gave him a gentle kiss.

"Is that a good enough apology for you?" I said breaking away from the kiss.

"It was perfect."

"Happy Birthday Tommy." I whispered and with that Thomas drew me in for another sweet memory.
