today marks my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend sidney. we started dating, back when we met in a pub on a snowy night of january in new york city. i remember him sitting next to me, flirting with me and we ended our tipsy night by kissing each other underneath the snowfall. romantic, right? he walked me back to my back then apartment, he stayed the night because he had too much to drink and a few weeks later, we were official. 

i'm a tad younger than sid but it didn't stop us from being together. i've never been more in love than what i am now and i'm forever grateful for this relationship. 

when i woke up this morning, i rolled over to the side, hoping i'd see sidney laying next to me, but he's not. yup, perks of dating a nhl hockey player. he's having an away game tonight, so, obviously, he can't spend the day with me for our anniversary.

being with a nhl hockey player really is hard by time. i feel like i'm missing out so much with my boyfriend. what if he didn't play hockey? our relationship would be much different, but sometimes i feel like i'm all alone in this. i miss sidney a lot, i wish i could be with him even more, but i know it won't happen unless he stops playing. and i know it won't happen. so might as well stop complaining.

i get out of bed and make my way to the kitchen. usual morning, usual routine. breakfast, shower, dress up and hang on my balcony until i'm tired of it. i hear the doorbell ringing, so i rush to the door. 

" delivery for y/n? " the delivery guy says.

" um, i didn't order anything. it must be a mista-" 

the man interrupts me.

" it says from your special someone.

a gift from sid!! i quickly thank the delivery man and take the box inside

i open the gift to a whole bunch of roses and a note.

"to my pretty baby. happy 1 year anniversary. i wish we could be together on this wonderful day. i miss you tons, i'll call you later. i love you. - s"

my heart melts by reading these amazing words. what have i done to have such a sweetheart as my other half. he calls me on facetime a few minutes later.

"hello baby!" i answer "thank you for the cute surprise, i appreciate it so much."

" no worries y/n. happy anniversary by the way." he replies.

" happy anniversary to you pretty boy! how are you doing? pumped for the game tonight?"

" uhh yeah, well..." he hesitates "pretty much the usual yeah. look i really have to go practice, love you"

and his face quickly disappears from my screen. this... was weird. sidney acted so suspicious i don't get it. it really do hurt me, the least he could've done is talking to me a bit more to make up for all the time we're losing? this day that was supposed to be special? i sigh and just continue my day, as it is everyday. a normal day after all.

***

i get all comfy with my pj's, ice cream and a blanket to watch sid's game. after all, him being weird, not calling me for the whole day after that, i'm still gonna support him. as the players enters on the ice, you realise that your boyfriend isn't even there. i directly take my cellphone and proceed to call him. 

" where is he??" i say to myself.

as it rang in my ear, i hear a phone ringing outside of the appartment's door. then,  a whisper saying "fuck..."

i get up and open the door, seeing a sidney, all sweaty, nervous, with a gift in his hand.

" what are you doing here?! for god's sake sid you can't just leave-"

sid aggresively puts his hand behind my neck and kisses me. i kiss him back, putting my hand on his cheek. he removes his lips from mine and says with a smirk:

" you really think i would've missed our first anniversary? am i really that bad of a boyfriend?"

" shut up and kiss me before i kick you out." 

i lean in back for a kiss and then we proceed to have the greatest night for the first time in a while.
