I walk across the street to the building opposite my house. With my bag over my shoulder, I stand at the entrance of the building, looking up at the sign.

Mendes Dance Academy

I take a deep breath as I walk into the studio, into my studio. Official classes start at 2:00 pm, but I always come in an hour earlier, where I have my own class, warming up and keeping in shape, enough to still dance.

As you walked into my studio, there were a few photos from overtime over the walls, in hopes of inspiring my students.

After being a part of the Royal company, for six years, last year I left the company on a good note, and opened my own studio back in New York City.

Sadly, it pained me to leave the company and all the friends I had made in London as well as London itself, but after having this studio for two years now, with the most dedicated and passionate students, I really have more than what I could ask for.

After my class, the rest of the day starts off with my babies, who don't go to school, so I have them until 2:00 which is the most adorable class. Their parents love to come in and watch as I teach them very basic steps, while they smile and laugh.

Afterwards, from 3:00 onwards, the age groups vary. I also host a lot of workshops and open classes for anyone wanting to pop in and join for a class to experiment and find their passion.

The day goes by quickly, proving the statement true: if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

It's now 5:30 o'clock, and I'm in the middle of one of my classes with the advanced girls. We are all very close, as they have been with me since I first opened the studio.

"Okay girls, now for your devèlope en tournant." I say, moving in front of the class, "I need you to remember the turnout, while your arms are in direct placement, opening from fifth position."

"Very good Mikah. Just remember to pull up your bottom leg, it's your support." I say gently correcting her.
"Remember to lean forward, over your lifted leg, otherwise you're going to lean back and lose your balance and I want it to stay." I say while demonstrating it again with a long balance at the end.

"Miss Mendes." I hear Lara ask, making me turn towards her. She lifts her arm and gestures to the door of the room, where all the girls are looking.

"Get some water girls." I say to them as they walk into the joined locker room, before turning around as I watch him as he leans on the door frame and I walk towards him, making a smile grow on my face.

"What are you doing here?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Oh am I not allowed to come visit my girlfriend?" He asks as my eyes meet his perfect green ones. "Let me correct actually. My girlfriend of 11 years" He says making me blush.

"Nope, you're actually very distracting." I say giggling, making him chuckle as he wraps his arms around me. He holds my hand in his above my head as he gently twirls me around making me laugh when he pulls me into him.

Our eyes meet but our gaze is broken a second later when he leans down to connect our lips.

11 years later, and the spark has only gotten stronger and his kisses more addictive.

I pull away softly before looking up into his eyes. "Well baby, that was a nice surprise, but I've got a class to teach." I say turning around "come gir-" I say but stop speaking when I see all seven of them holding bouquets of flowers with tutus on them, reminding me of Giselle.

"Girls, What's going on?" I say watching them with the biggest smile on their face as Mikah gestures by tilting her head behind me.

I slowly turn around to see Harry on one knee, in-front of me. I bring my hand up to cover my mouth as I stare down at him with disbelief.

"I have something to say." He says chuckling making the girls giggle.

"Belle, you are the love of my life. You're the only person I want to fall asleep next to, and the only one I want to wake up to every morning. My life is not complete without you, and I literally cannot live without you.

Meeting you was fate, becoming friends with you was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control and I'm so glad it was you. When I look into your eyes, I see my today and my tomorrow and my future. Belle will you marry me?" He finishes while the tears continue to roll down my face.

How on earth did I get so lucky, the most perfect guy, the most perfect life and the most perfect dream job. I really couldn't ask for more.

"Miss Mendes." I hear the girls say, breaking me out of my thoughts, looking down at Harry who is smiling knowing that I just zoned off again.

"Yes." I whisper before nodding quickly. Harry stand up immediately before wrapping his arms around me as he kisses me passionately.
"I love you, so much. So so much." I say between kisses.

He wraps his arms around my waist and places his head on my shoulder as I turn to face the girls. "When did you plan all this." I say smiling and wiping the happy tears away from my face.

"I'm a spy." Harry says, making us all burst out laughing. 

Class was over after I found out that everyone on the studio was well aware of Harry's plan beforehand, to whisk me away.
