107 - But It Could Be...

Katie P.O.V

I was led in bed drifting in and out of sleep when I was fully awakened by my phone ringing on my desk beside me. I picked it up to see Gemma's name flashing across the screen. I wonder why she's ringing me? I'm hoping it's because her boyfriend of four years Charlie has finally proposed to her because I made her promise to ring me as soon as it happened.

"Gemma are you finally going to tell me what I think your going to tell me?" I asked her as soon as I answered the phone.

"No" she replied, "that day is still yet to come."

"It will be soon though right?"

"Maybe?"

"I do however have some exciting news and there is also something I need to ask you."

"And what might that be?"

"Well it was a bit last minute but with Charlie being in the army we knew it would happen at some point and now it is."

"Okay?" I said very confused as to what Gemma was going on about.

"We are being transferred and relocated to London!"

"London? Seriously?"

"Yes!"

"Oh my god this is so exciting, your going to be living in London!"

"There is also something else."

"Oh god!"

"It's nothing bad but it involves dancing and a job."

"I don't understand?"

"Well because we are moving it means I've had to stop my dance classes, obviously, but the company I was working with have a branch in London and they want to help me set up my own dance company to teach various ages dance."

"That's amazing Gemma, I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you, and now this is where I ask for your help."

"My help?"

"Yes your help" Gemma laughed.

"Okay what can I help you with?"

"Well it's amazing that they are helping me set the dance classes up but after that it will just be me and I can't do it all on my own so I was wondering if you'd be able to help me out!"

"Yeah of course, I'd be more than happy to do that whenever you needed the help."

"How does 5 days a week sound?"

"5 days a week? Wow that would be a lot of volunteering yet also a lot of fun so sure that sounds great."

"Well it wouldn't technically be volunteering because I'd be paying you to teach with me."

"What? You seriously want me to teach with you?"

"Yes, I'd love you too. I know that with Livi going back to the academy you won't have anything to do and I mean your 19 now so your responsible enough to have a job like this and I know you'll be perfect for this role."

"Gemma I don't know what to say other than thank you" I practically screamed down the phone.

"Okay well we move next week so I guess I'll let you know when we've sorted everything out and then we can start this thing up."

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Me too, thank you Katie for agreeing to help me out because I literally don't think id be able to do this on my own."

"You know that I'd always be happy to help you with whatever it is you need, plus it should be me thanking you for giving me a job and this amazing opportunity!"

"Your welcome, as long as your sure that this isn't too last minute."

"No of course it's not, I have nothing else to do and I was actually planning on looking for something to do whether it be a job or dance classes but this way I can do both."

"Okay well then in that case if you'd be able to start thinking about the dance side of things like warm ups and even some choreography whilst I deal with the financial and paperwork side of things."

"Yeah sure, I'll get Livi to give me a hand and if there is anything else you need just let me know."

"I will, thanks Katie."

"No problem, see you next week" I smiled down the phone before saying goodbye and hanging up.

February 2015

It's now almost a month after Gemma moved to London and since then we've spent almost everyday either at my apartment or her apartment planning things as well as having meetings with the company. After much deliberation they decided it would be easier to just take over an old instructors classes instead of starting up a fresh company as it will allow us to have a starting group of dancers and then we can just expand. However we are still getting to do things our way, we have our own dance studio and we don't have to follow on from where the other instructor left out we can do things the way we want to.

"So how was it?" I asked Gemma as I opened our apartment door to let her in.

"Well they loved our ideas and thought that it's the perfect way to carry on the classes. Plus the company is going to put in some money for us to be able to buy anything we may require and it also means every person can have our company top. The best part though is that after hearing about it so many people have signed up meaning we will have 4, 2 hour classes everyday."

"That's insane, I can't believe how well this all worked out" I smiled as we sat down on the sofa.

"I know, it just goes to show that all the hard work pays off."

"This is going to create so many amazing opportunities for you."

"Well I think it will for the both of us."

"No it won't for me I'm just a teacher, it's your company."

"What if it was our company?"

"But it's not!"

"But it could be!"

"Gemma I..."

"Look Katie I know you kept telling me that you didn't mind helping me out with all the planning but honestly I don't think I could have done it without you and I really appreciate it. I want you to be more involved in this than just a teacher and I'd like to think of you as a work partner not just someone I've employed. Plus if I ever had to move again or if something happening id be happier knowing I was leaving the company in your hands and I can do that if you agree to be my partner in this and help me run the company. Obviously it will require a lot more responsibility and sometimes you may have some paperwork and things to do on the weekend but if your willing to do that then I think your perfectly capable. But the good side of it all is that you'll earn more money which is always a bonus."

"You really want me to help you run this?"

"Yes of course I do, I've wanted to ask you to do that ever since this opportunity was given to me."

"Well then why not? Id love too" I smiled and Gemma flung her arms around my neck and pulled me into a hug.

"Thank you so much."

"No, thank you" I laughed.

"Okay well I better go because Charlie and I are going out later and I think he's going to propose, I just have that feeling that today is going to be the day."

"Make sure you ring me if he does, I want to be one of the first to know."

"Don't worry I will" Gemma replied as she made her way to the front door.

"Good!"

"Well I'll see you in the studio on Monday then for our first day."

"Yeah I guess you will" I smiled, "good luck" I added as she walked out the door.
