*After School*

Joes POV

After school I met Dianne at the gate, taking her hand and kissing her forehead when she got there.
"Lets go." I said, walking by her side to the police station. She didnt talk the whole time, which made me nervous. "Hey Di, its gonna be alright." I whispered, kissing her gently before we walked inside the station. It was almost empty, only a few other people. We walked over to one of the windows, looking at the police officer.
"My girlfriend has been getting a lot of threats lately." I said, handing over the letting. The police woman nodded, reading it over.
"We can check the paper for fingersprints. Come with me." She said with a smile, letting us through. We walked down a long, empty hall before walking into a room. Dianne clung to my arm, gently digging her nails in slightly. We sat down as she took out fingerprints before checking the paper.
"Theres another finget print." She said and I smiled, knowing we could find out who this was. "What school do you go to?" She asked and I gave her the name of our school. She smiled, standing up and hugging us both.
"Thank you." Dianne whispered.
"Its my job." She said with a smile. "You two should get home, Ill have myself and another officer come to your school and do an investigation on the students. See whos fingerprint match." She told us and we nodded. We gave her our last thank yous before finding our ways out the station, heading back to mine.

When we got to mine, Zoe and Alfie wete home however my mother wasnt.
"Wheres mum?" I asked.
"She went out to go food shopping." Zoe smiled, walking over and hugging me.
"Now come little bro." She said, dragging me to the kitchen. I looked to Dianne who ran after me giggling.
"Zoe what are you doing?" I asked.
"Were baking."
"I cant bake!" Dianne and I said together, smiling as I put my arm around her.
"Well we are baking together." Zoe grabbed Alfies hand, having him help her get all the ingredients out the fridge and cupboards to make cupcakes. Dianne giggled, jumping on my back so she could reach the bowls. We put the down on the counter, Zoe measuring out everything before we started. I turned on the radio, 'I just got Paid' coming on. Dianne smiled, dancing around a little, letting me watch her.

We didnt really help Zoe and Alfie bake, too busy messing around. When Zoe took the cupcakes out the oven and washed everything up, we heard the front door open, my mother walking in with bags of food.
"Joe, be a dear and go grab-" she couldnt finish before Dianne left, coming back in with the last of the bags, putting them on the counter. "Thank you Dianne." She smiled, Dianne giving her one back, helping her unpack everything. 
"No problem." Dianne smiled, putting the last of the food away.
"Now you two go along to Joes room and go be teens." She teased and I saw Dianne blush.

Diannes POV

Joe and I ran up to his room, giggling when I beat him.
"Ha I-" I got cut off since he kissed me, holding me close.
"Dont cockblock us." He laughed before kissing me again, however after a while I pulled away. He knew I was taking stuff slow, not rushing in, and Im glad he didnt force anything on me. We sat down on his bed, cuddling together as he played with my hair.
"I love you." I whispered, smiling softly.
"I love you too baby." He cooed, kissing my cheek softly.
"Do you think they'll find the person who wrote the letter?" I asked and Joe nodded.
"Theyre good at their job, theyll find who it was." He whispered before his mother called us down for dinner. I smiled, walking downstairs, holding onto his hand tightly before sitting down. His mother had cooked us pasta, like normal since we both loved it. I smiled, finishing last like always. I washed up our plates, thanking his mum for cooking us dinner before we returned upstairs.
"You wanna sleep in your room or stay in here with me?" Joe asked softly.
"Stay." I whispered and he nodded.
"I-I dont want to h-have a nightmare." I sniffed and he nodded.
"I know baby, I know." He cooed. "Hopefully they will go away soon. Thats not me trying to get you out my room I love cuddling with you." Joe smiled and picked me up, carrying me to the bathroom, sitting me down on the counter. He ran me a bath, leaving before coming back with one of his hoodies and some clean boxers. I smiled and hugged him, Joe soon leaving and going back to his room. I locked the door, stripping down and getting into the bath.

Joes POV

I changed while Dianne was in the bath, sitting on my bed in my boxers. I turned on my TV and then my nintendo switch, playing mario kart. I got quite competitive, but soon one. I heard clapping by the door. I looked over, seeing Dianne standing there.
"You still look amazing in my clothes." I said, putting my arms out for her. She smiled and sat down in my lap.
"Can I play?" She asked, taking my controller and getting more comfortable, going through thr courses and deciding on Cloudtop Cruise. She started in first place since I won the last game, and she kept first place through the whole race.
"Youre good." I smiled and she nodded.
"Im good at mario kart. Now I wanma sleep." She said, curling up on my lap, and like that, she was asleep. I turned off my TV, reaching for my phone and checking the buttercream group chat. I laughed, sending a message

I put my phone down, wrapping my arms around the beautiful girl who was still cuddled up in my arms.
"Goodnight gorgeous"

Okay, maybe I was head over heels. Who could blame me?
