Itâs your 5 year anniversary with the one and only, Thomas Sangster.
Life was pretty hectic at times, with him traveling for movie productions and you being a photographer, there would be weeks at a time where you wouldnât see each other.
And when thereâs a relationship, thereâs always the haters. The minute fans found out that you and Thomas were a thing, there was backlash. You remember the one time in Comic Con a girl jumped onto stage and threw water at you. Since then, thereâs been at least one security guard looking after you and Thomas.
Itâs a chilly December morning and you got a call saying a client needed some pictures for their wedding photo.Â
You willingly said yes, telling the couple that you knew a lot of beatiful places to take candid shots in Hyde Park. Even though itâs 8 AM here, the photo shoot would take up almost the whole day.
You notified the couple to bring some ice skates; that you might enter into âWinter Wonderland.â
You practically heard the couple scream in delight as you bid them a goodbye.
As you were packing your camera, you heard your phone ring. You picked up the phone and immediately grinned when you found out who the person was.
"Hey, Y/N" Thomas beamed through the phone, "I miss you so much."
"Hey, sweetie, howâs work cutting out for you?" you asked as put the finishing touches to your bag.
"Well, we wrapped up yesterday afternoon, and they told me Iâm allowed a 1 month break," Thomas said.
"Thatâs amazing!" you gasped, "Are you on your way home right now?"
Although Thomas was doing interviews in the States, he knew his way around the system.Â
"Iâm not quite sure, thereâs an airplane that leaves in 45 minutes, and I think I might head on over to you," Thomas said.
"But itâs 12 AM over there!" you exclaimed, "arenât you going to get jet lag when I see you."
"That might be the case, but Iâll do anything to be with you," Thomas said.
You let out a heavy sigh. This would the third time this year where Thomas wouldnât be in England the same day. Although jet lag is a problem, you havenât told him about your job right now.
Ever since you and Thomas became a thing, people would actually look at your work in the photography industry. No longer were you the local photographer You would travel the world and see new places, wanting to have beautiful weddings like the ones youâve seen. However, Thomas said to âgive it some time.â
"Well, take all the time you want," you explained, "because Iâve got clients waiting for me at Hyde Park. Iâm making their photoshoot a snow-centered one."
"Sounds very romantic," Thomas chuckled, "we should definitely do that sometime."
"Thatâs if you ever get your arse back here, moron," you teased.
"Your British is so bad," Thomas said as he imitated and SoCal accent.
"Not all Californians sound like surfers, Thomas," you chuckled as you walked to your car.Â
"Based on what Iâve heard and seen, I beg to differ," Thomas laughed.
"Whatever Thomas. Hey, I gotta go do my thing. Call me when you get here alright?" you said.
"Have fun! But not too much fun," Thomas said as you heard his laugh through the phone.
"Iâll catch you later," you sighed as you hung up and headed to Hyde Park.
Itâs time to get the show on the road.
"Ok, now try to twirl in a circle and do some funny pose!" you ordered.
Itâs already after midday, and you were having an absolute blast.
As snow came down, it made the scenery even more beautiful than it was.
The couple was very interacting throughout the whole shoot, and it made you swell up. It was quite funny how they met, too. Jackie, the bride-to-be, said they met when they were at a cousinâs wedding, when Jackie was 19 and Ethan was 20. Ethan, the groom, said when they first met, Jackie thought he was the most annoying person ever. Apparently Ethan was a crappy flirter, and throughout the wedding, he would try to have some conversation with her, but horribly fail. Jackie eventually came through at the very end of the wedding. And since then, they have been together for 10 years.Â
"10 years is such a long time," you finally said, "Iâm so proud that you guys are getting married. Itâs such a wonderful thing, quite frankly."
You told that you if you can have a 15 minute break, and without hesitation they said yes.
"Youâve done so much for us," Ethan thanked, "we can never thank you enough."
As they went for a few more rounds around the rink, you took out your phone to check the time:Â 1:23 PM.Â
You decided to ring Thomas up to see if he landed or not, but he never picked up the phone. You left him a voicemail saying how much you loved your clients and how much you missed him.
As you hung up, you stared at your surroundings. The kids laughing with joy, couples skating together, teenagers huddled around keeping warm from the snow. It all seem⌠distant to you. You started to remember flashbacks from your first date with Thomas, it was under a cherry blossom tree during the spring. If only he was here nowâŚ
You snapped back to reality as you had the sudden urge to got back to that tree.Â
You skated up to Jackie and Ethan and said, âI have a perfect place to shoot some pictures.â
As you lead the couple to the spot, you felt your phone ring. It was Thomas.
"Hey, I miss you," you said in a hushed tone.
"I miss you too, Y/N" Thomas sighed as a long silence came ahead.
"Youâre not coming home, arenât you," you simply put it.
"Iâm in New York at the moment," Thomas hesitated, "But I think my flight is going to be delayed for another 2 hours. Sorry babe."
You stayed quiet for a minute. âItâs okay, Thomas. I know itâs not your fault. Iâm still working with the couple anyways. Theyâre a fabulous duo, might I add.â
"Must be marvelous over there," Thomas said, "Well, I canât keep talking to you. Youâve got your job to do."
"I know.." you mumbled, "See you soon. Love you."
"Love you too, babe," Thomas cooed, sadness in his voice as both of you hung up.
You didnât realize that you had a tear coming down your face until Jackie came up from behind and said, âHoney, are you okay?â
"Yea, Iâm fine," you sniffled, "itâs just my allergies acting up. Donât worry about it."
"Are you sure?" Ethan asked, concern in his voice, "because we can take another break, if you want."
"No, no! Itâs okay," you stuttered, "Iâm from Southern California, and sometimes this weather takes me by surprise."
The couple kept insisting to take another break, but you told them that the tree was up ahead.
You knew during the winter, cherry blossoms werenât obviously in season, but this specific tree seemed to never lose itâs little petals. It was a hotspot for couples, but for those who had the guts to be here in the snowy weather. The little petals stood out in the white snow, and since the days were shorter, it made the scenery even more beautiful.
"Wow, itâs even better than I remembered," you gasped.
"Y/N, this is so beautiful!" Jackie said, "how on earth did you ever find it?"
Jackie gave a valid reason. The three of you were secluded off, tiny hills covering the tree. You would hear the occasional laugh or screech from families, but other than that, it was perfect.
"Aw, you donât have to thank me!" you gushed, "You can thank Thom- no wait never mind."
"Go on, dear," Jackie said, "We wonât judge you."
"Itâs just, it reminds me of Thomas," you simply said.
"Oh, he sounds like a wonderful person," Jackie said, "unless, of course, heâs your ex-boyfriend. Then heâs considered a bad person."
"Heâs my boyfriend, weâve been going out for five years," you chuckled.
"Things are good, lifeâs alright⌠but I never get to see him," you added, "heâs in the States right because his flight got cancelled for two more hours. It really sucks because today marks our 5 year anniversary. I actually thought he would make itâŚ"
"I never get to see him now that has to do so many interviews, and honestly, itâs one of the reasons I do this job. Itâs kind of like a ddistraction so I donât miss him too much, but it still hurts. I have picture of him, it was taken on this exact same spot you guys are standing."
You took out your phone and showed Jackie and Ethan a picture of you and Thomas holding each other while ice skating. It was taken in January, and you remembered Thomas telling you that his current movie was a huge success.
"You guys look absolutely adorable,â Jackie said, âRemember we were like that, Ethan?â
"It was a nice time for us," Ethan added, "I know you might have heard this an annoying amount of times, but have you guys ever thought of getting married?"Â
"Well, actually Iâve thought about it, but Thomas has said to give it some time,â yous sighed, realizing you had a few tears running down your face.Â
Jackie handed you some Kleenex out of her purse, and you blew your nose a little too loudly.
Ethanâs phone rang and he excused himself off to the side. Jackie started rubbing your back and you lost it.
"Oh honey itâs okay, stuff like this always happen. I remember when Ethan was offered a job in New York when we were living here. Itâs hard," Jackie consoled.
"Iâm sorry, Iâm so sorry," you blubbered, "I just messed up your guysâ photoshoot. Iâm deeply sorry Iâll give you guys a refund."
"What are you talking about, youâre doing fantastic! Iâve never seen such a photographer dedicated to every client! I love how youâll listen to our stories, because itâs what helps setting the mood for the picture! I take photos from time to time, and I know what exactly youâre trying to capture, I couldnât thank you enoughâ Jackie praised.
 âOh itâs nothing,â you said, wiping a tear away, âwhen it comes to wedding shoots, I really like to capture the essence of the couple thatâs getting married. Couples have actually told me that theyâve fallen all over again for each other.
"I remember an old couple that have married for 60 years, they told me that they felt young again when I did their photo shoot. I donât know man, but I guess I have that âmagicalâ touch."
"And thatâs why people love your work; because you can relate to everyone. Plus you arenât rude and demanding like the majority of photographers. You make it fun!â Ethan said as he walked up to you and Jackie.
It was now 8:30, and it got pretty dark. You were about to tell the couple to pack it up and maybe go back to your studio, when suddenly a bright white light blinded your eyes.Â
"What in theâŚ" you groaned as you tried to see what was the bight light.
Turns out the cherry tree you were taking pictures at was lit up with sparkly white lights, and it look gorgeous.
"What a view!" Ethan said, sarcasm in his voice, "did you plan this?"
"No I didnâtâŚ:" you whispered, "but it gives it a nice touch. How about a few more pictures under this?"
"Wonderful!" the couple sang.
You composed yourself and started to get your groove again, satisfied at the work youâre doing.
Just as you were taking the final shots of the couple, you started to hear the strums of a guitar.
"Oh, Y/N, can I see your camera for a bit?" Jackie asked, "I just wanna see the pictures."
"Sure, sure!" you said in a rush as you handed her the camera, frantically trying to find the search of the sound.Â
You probably looked stupid, but you had no clue where the sound was coming from.
As you turned away from the tree, you heard 6 more guitars playing, and now you were real confused.
Then, you heard someone singing, softly but you could decipher few of the lyrics:
    I wish I could do better by you
    âCause thatâs what you deserve
    You sacrifice so much of your lifeÂ
    in order for this to work
It was Thomas. Heâs singing the song that he serenaded to you.
Soon, a hoard of about 40 people came behind Thomas, all singing along to the song. It was all your closest friends and a couple of family members. They all came and that just creeped you out. Itâs not even Christmas, so whatâs the damn rush.
Everyone was so into the song, and they all surrounded you and the tree, realizing Ethan and Jackie joined into the circle and sang along. Turns out Jackie was taking some candid photos of you.
"You go, Y/N! Pose for me, darling!" Jackie cheered as you did some funny poses.
        But you donât ask for no diamond rings
    No delicate string of pearls
    Thatâs why I wrote this song to sing
    My beautiful girlÂ
As the last verse played, all you heard were cheers and claps, but no signs of Thomas.
"Looking for someone?" a voice said behind you.
"You came!" you screeched as you tightly hugged Thomas, "I thought you wouldnât make it!"
"Like I said, Iâll do anything to be with you," Thomas whispered as he leaned in for a kiss.
Everyone âawedâ and started clapping and cheering for the two of you. It felt since forever being with Thomas.Â
Then out of nowhere, Thomas let go of your embrace, giving a subtle nod to a friend.Â
"Y/N, these past 5 years have been ridiculously ridiculous," Thomas announced, earning chuckles from the crowd.
"This past year has been especially rough with all the shooting and interviews and touring. Heck, I thought I wasnât living!" Thomas added, "And while I was away, it made me realize something: it made me realize that I need you. Not all that one more year crap. I mean stay with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
"Which is why, Y/N Y/L/N, I want to take your hand in marriage." Thomas said, as he bent down in one knee.Â
"Holy crap, holy crap!" you screamed out as you started to cry.Â
"Y/N, will you marry me?" Thomas asked as he opened a small blue box with the diamond ring shining.
"Yes, yes Thomas, yes!" you yelled as he picked you up and spun you around.Â
Jackie quickly got to work as she took pictures of the two of you, a roar of cheering heard throughout.
"Iâm so glad you said yes, Y/N," Jackie gushed, "You have to give major props to Thomas though, he was the one who planned it out!"
"Really?" you gasped, "How? When!"
"Well," Thomas explained, "When I was in the States, I ran into Jackie, she was my photographer for a magazine photoshoot. When I heard she need someone to take her photos, I said you were the perfect one. We were gonna do it Christmas day, but this could be a present, right?"
"Oh Thomas, this is so wonderful!" you cried, "how did you ever pull this off?"
"Remember the phone call that Ethan got? That was me." Thomas beamed.
"Congrats on the engagement, man," Ethan said as he patted Thomas on the back.
The 6 guitar players then got their instrument and started to play, making everyone cheer and start dancing.
"Care for a dance, Mrs. Brodie- Sangster," Thomas proposed as you giggled.
"Donât mind if I do, Mr. Thomas," you replied as the two of you slow danced.
Snow started to fall, and it was the perfect way to end the wonderful day.
"I love you, Y/N, with all my heart," Thomas said as you held onto him.Â
You were truly now in a winter wonderland.
