Kate's new assistant

One year down

(Kate's P.O.V)

It's crazy to think it's been a year since Emi and I met. It's even more crazy how much your life can change in 365 days, 52 weeks, 525,600 minutes - whichever way you put it, life changes. This means we've almost been dating for 10 months and it feels like nothing has changed. Every morning I wake up, look over at the beautiful girl laying beside me and count my lucky stars. This weekend it's the Oscars and i'm taking Emi as my date. 

"Babe, i'm so proud of you" said Emi, hugging me from behind. I was cooking our favourite breakfast - pancakes with syrup. It had become our Sunday morning routine. Because of how full on my job was, we didn't get to spend much time together so we made Sundays as special as we could. I let my head fall onto her should. She planted a soft kiss on my cheek, near enough my ear. "I'm gonna be more proud to have you walking down the red carpet alongside me" I whispered. I felt her body tense up. "Hey" I turned around and put my hands on her face, "What's up?" I asked her,  I was worried. "It's just, I mean...i'm so nervous. I've never been to anything like this before and I don't want to embarrass you" Emi said. Her eyes began to tear up. I pulled her in tight towards my chest. "Babe, you could never embarrass me. Of course you'll be nervous for your first awards show but you better get used to it because I don't see you leaving me any time soon" I winked and tickled her. She laughed, I could feel her relax into me. Emi was always so nervous about how she was seen with me. It's true; I do get a lot of attention when I go out. Being on such a popular show every week, you meet people all the time, wherever you go, who want to compliment you on your work. But what Emi doesn't realise is, i've never felt more proud or safe than when I have her on my arm.

"Well one thing is for sure" Emi smiled, "I can't wait to see you in the dress you're gonna be wearing...and i'm even more excited to see you out of it" she said, planting a kiss on my lips. I smiled into her kiss.

It was true, I really was nervous about being out publicly with Kate. Not because I was embarrassed to be seen with her. In fact, you couldn't get farther from that. I just didn't want to let her down. But, there has been a lot of other things on my mind recently too. I didn't know if Kate realised it yet, but it's been a year since i'd started my internship at SNL and my contract runs out in 2 months...what am I gonna do then? All my family and friends are in London. Sure, i've made friends here too who treat me like family but London is home. But then there's Kate. I can't leave her. I need to figure something out...fast.
