A Fairytale Christmas in New York
Chapter 1.
It was Christmas eve and Gemma was just getting ready for the Christmas party at TAC, and she was just looking back at the last few months and not believing how much had happened to her in the last few months and especially in the last week or so because all of her dreams had come true. And it was thanks to these dreams coming true that she was here getting ready for the party and getting dressed up for it, which had been something she'd never done in her life before and Chunk was currently there with her in her apartment getting all dressed up to the nines.
*FB* Gemma had just landed in New York feeling very nervous, but also very excited about what was happening in her life at the moment. Sadly a couple of months before her grandmother had passed away, but she had got quite a big inheritance from it, so she had decided that she was going to leave her job and do some travelling as her life change, but the year before she had been searching for her father. He and her mother had divorced when she was eight years old and had gone to live in the US which was where he was from originally. Even though he was an actor and probably quite easy to trace, because of the way he worked in both the UK and the US it had just grown harder to actually get him pinned down. In the end though she did manage to finally pin him down and they had got in touch with one another and had started making tentative moves to stay in touch with one another and get to know each other. She hadn't said anything about what her plans were over leaving her job and going travelling, but her father suggested that they took that chance for her to get to know him all over again, as well as getting to know all her half brothers and sisters. So here she was having just landed in New York to just do that.
In that couple of months or so she had found that she was really loving staying in New York with her father and step-mom, especially as she and her dad built their father and daughter relationship up quite quickly, even though she didn't admit it openly she also found that she was having a better relationship with her step-mom to the one that she actually had with her own mom. Not only that she was also very close to her sisters Alli and Rose, although she did know that she was closer to Rose more than anyone else. But the thing that she loved the most was that she was now apart of a much larger family after having been alone with just her mom and grandmother for most of her life.
Just as her time in New York was coming to an end Gemma found her thoughts wandering as she tried to make up her mind as to what she was going to do, did she go off and go travelling as she was going to originally do or was she possibly going to end up staying there with the family that she had now grown to really love and adore. In the end it was a night out with Rose that helped her make up her mind, as they talked things through, and so she decided following her dads suggestion to stay on and celebrate both Christmas and her birthday with them, seeing as it was her birthday on Christmas day as well. But then she also made up her mind that she wanted it to be a more permanent stay, so that very next day she made a start on searching for an apartment.
Finally in the November she made a journey back to the UK once again and got her flat all packed up and with help from her brothers and sisters they got her stuff back to New York and she began on the move into her new apartment. As she made her final journey to New York with her sister Alli in tow, as they were carrying up boxes of stuff to her apartment they were having a good talk about what she was going to be doing with her life and was she going to be finding a job with her move, because through the inheritance that she had received she technically didn't have to work now for the rest of her life, even with her also having been able to afford buying her new apartment outright. So as they were heading into elevator and she wasn't looking where she was going, she said that perhaps she would do something on a voluntary basis or if she did have to be paid to do something then she would like it if it was a job where she was feeling that she was at least helping people. Just as she finished saying it she felt herself hitting a solid object, and then realised that it was an actual person, as the box she had in her arms started to wobble and she felt that she was going to drop it, she apologised and the man then rescued the box before she dropped it. After her apology she then said to him "Hi, I'm Gemma Richardson."
He replied "And I'm Jason Bull, pleased to meet you and I'm guessing that you're about to move into the apartment next to mine."
She smiled and said "That I am and it's good to meet you too. This is also my sister Alli."
After getting to her apartment and putting the box down for her on the side he then shook hands with both of them as he then said "So I hope that you'll be happy here and if there's anything that you may need, please feel free to just give me a shout."
She replied "I will do thank you."
After that he then gives her a card and before handing it over he writes something on it and then says "Look I own a trial science company called TAC, when you're more settled of course why don't you come along and see what we do."
She replied "I will do, thank you Jason." After that he gave her a small smile and he then walked out. *FB*
It was that very day that Gemma had met the man that was going to end up in the coming weeks start to play a very big part of her life with her ending up working at TAC, but most of all the man that she was going to fall in love with, even in that short space of time and the reason why Chunk was helping her to get ready for the Christmas party at TAC, because she wanted to look so special for the man that she'd been falling in love with.
A/N: This is my first attempt at writing a Christmas story and as this one came to mind I thought I would get writing it, even though it has got a Christmas title this story will probably continue even after Christmas is over and well as it's also December 1st tomorrow I also thought I would start posting it. For the start of things it will be told in flashbacks before it gets bought completely up to date! I have also just got a new programme on the computer for all my writing and hopefully that will mean that I am going to be able to update stories a lot quicker than usual! xxx. D. :0)
