Dianne's POV
I hated this deal. I wanted to be able to show Joe that I love him in my own way. But no. I have to obey the Strictly Producers.
It's now Thursday and Joe is just getting the Foxtrot. That's concerning, but what's worse is we have to always drop hints of a relationship. Why? Why did I say yes to this deal, I should have just left. 😭
"Joe. You keep forgetting the Volta." He rubbed his face with his hands and walked away, he grabbed his bag and walked out. What? I briskly followed him,
"Joe? Joe?" He could hear me, but he carried on walking. I ran and grabbed his shoulder. As his face presented to mine, I saw his eye's red and puffy. I pulled him into a hug. And he broke down, I looked across the street and saw someone with a camera. This wasn't the place. I lugged Joe back to the studio and sat him down. He was still crying. I sat next to him and he wrapped his arms around me. I pulled him closer, his warm body created goosebumps grow on my body. I comforted him for about five minutes before he came around, he lifted his head and I could see the tiredness enclose his eyes and he was very de-hydrated. I gave him some water and sat next to him while he rested his head in my shoulder. I didn't know what to say, things were a little awkward since the agreement. So I stared in the only way possible,
"What's wrong?" Joe slowly pulled his head off my shoulder and shuffled further away from me.
"Don't worry." He grumbled, anger struck me.
"Liar. It's obviously something! You've been crying for hours! Don't lie to me." My voice rose a little and I saw Joe's eyes soften,
"I've let you down..." I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't, why would he think this?
"I accepted this stupid deal and made you, me. Us! Miserable. And I can't stop thinking about it. And this is why I can't concentrate on the dances." I threw my arms around his neck and snuggled in, I moved my mouth to his ear.
"You could never let me down." I whispered oh so slightly. He turned to face me and gave a small smile,
"You sure." I brought his hand to mine,
"100%" His smile grew like I had just provided sunlight for him, he leaned in a kissed me softly. I didn't resist or pull away, instead I let him take control.
(I'll let your imagination go wild rn. 😏)
I woke up to an ear bleeding noise, I turned to my phone and realised it was my alarm. I looked around, I was really confused and disoriented. I looked to my side and saw Joe lying there peacefully, naked. I then looked at myself and saw I was also in that position, I focussed my mind and realised that we were still in the dance studio. Fuck!
Luckily it was only 6 pm so we still had time to practice, I looked around the room and found my clothes. I picked them up and ran to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror once I was changed.
"Jesus Christ Di. What have you done?" I splashed water on my face and looked at myself again. I needed to pull myself together and be strong, I walked out and saw Joe had gone. I walked back over and saw his phone and stuff were still here. Unless he got kidnapped-which to he honest is very likely, he couldn't fight off a two year old child let alone a 6ft man- then he has gone to get changed as well. Cos I mean his clothes are gone.
I cleared up the blanket that was spread across the floor and put it away, then I headed to my phone and played the music. I danced the Foxtrot and changed a few moves in my head, when Joe walked back into the room. You could cut the awkwardness with a knife,
"Um. Hi." He didn't reply. I think he was wondering what he could say,
"Let's go over the Foxtrot then."
After Rehearsals.
Joe's POV
Me and Dianne walked out of the studio onto the street that was consumed by death. It was little awkward under the circumstances, I turned to Dianne.
"Block through tomorrow." She nodded and pulled out her phone. Shit. I forgot, where was she staying.
"Where are u staying Dianne?" She just shrugged and started to walk away. Oh great, I've fucked up. I walked after her and grabbed her hand,
"I've been at a B&B." She stood still and looked around, her hands wrapped around her arms like vines and I saw her shiver like a cold winter tree blowing in the wind. I wacked off my jacket and placed it around her like a blanket. She lightly grasped the sides and pulled it over her shoulders a little more,
"Hey. Stay at mine tonight?" She stepped a little further away from me,
"Um. I don't know. Isn't it a little awkward under the circumstances?"I smiled a little,
"Yeah. Maybe a little. But I won't let you sofa surf for the rest of your life!" She giggled and put her phone away.
"Okay. But I have the sofa."I took her bag and walked to my car, when we got to my car I placed her bag in the back and we got in.
"Your having the bed Dianne. I'll have the sofa." The rest of the journey home was quiet, I could literally hear Dianne's heartbeat in her chest.
It was about 11 when we got back and Dianne fell asleep in the car, she was so cute when she was sleeping. No! She was always cute, but even cuter when she slept. I carried her inside in a bridal style, and laid her on the bed. When I placed her down I moved her Ariel hair out of her face, and covered her fragile but strong body with the duvet.
I love this woman.
I'm soooooo sorry! I have been revising for my exams and have literally had no time! I was also ill for a week! I have let u all down and I am sooooooo sorry! I will try and upload by Tuesday/Wednesday!
Love ya'll! ♥️
