Love is Electric- joe and dianne one shots

the love seat

"You alright there mum?"
Dianne wondered into the open plan living room spotting her mum, all dressed and ready on the love seat in the corner of the room gazing out the window, looking over london.

"Oh god dot, you scared the life out of me then my love"
The older woman sat up at the shock of the voice behind her and turned around seeing her daughter who was like herself dressed and ready to go out for dinner that evening.

"Sorry. Anyway, you look....well, zoned out. You ok?"
Dianne wondered over to her mother, sitting down on the love seat next to her and resting her feet on the grey rug laying on the floor beneath the chair.

"I'm fine, just taking everything in abit. It's nice to be here. Back in england, back in england, with you. And not in a hotel room either, a place you call home. It's nice"
She smiled

"I know, do you like it here so far? I know you literally got here about 4 hours ago, but what do you think?"
The younger woman asked her mum

"I love it. Its unique. Very artsy"
Rina said

"Yeah joe made all the art himself, so this place is really unique to him"
Dianne said referencing her boyfriend who was upstairs getting ready still. He never admitted it but he always took longer than her because he would always end up singing his heart out in the shower.

"Its so much more colourful in real life than it is on the vlogs. And the furnitures really nice"
She said

"Its very homely and warm, isn't it?"
Dianne said. She hadn't officially moved into Joe's place but accepted this place as her own. She would never refer as it to Joe's house. She was always going home to her and Joe's place. Never to Joe's. It was their place now, and she loved it. She loved every part of the apartment. How it was a nice place for london. How it overlooked the river. How this place was uniquely Joe's and how he decorated it to match his personality.

"Very. And very comfortable, I love this seat. It looks over outside and it's a nice place to sit and rest too"
Rina said

"I like this seat too. We call it the love seat"
She said we, referring to her and joe. Just like everything now, they shared.

"Is that what's it's actually called because I might buy one for the house?"
Rina asked

"Well a love seat is more of a sofa, armchair kind of thing, this is like a round spinny sofa office chair. We kind of nicknamed it the love seat ourselves"
Rina loved how disnne would always say we, instead of joe or herself. It let her know that this was serious for both of them and it was nice to see that as a mother.

"That's cute"
Rina smiled to herself

"Its kind of where alot of small milestones in our relationship happened, in this chair here. So its really important to us"
She told her

"Milestones?"
Rina questioned

"Yeah. Lots of conversations and cuddles and decisions have been made here. This is where we sat when joe posted that picture of us, telling the world we were together. The first time I cooked for joe, we sat here and ate it off the same plate. Before I came back to Australia for christmas this is where we had the conversation about whether we were doing this properly when I got back and if we would give our relationship a go or not, try and develop something real. We even had our first kiss here."
Dianne explained

"Here on this very seat? Where were sat now?"
Rina asked

"Yeah. I'm sure joe wont mind me telling you, but it was week 6 on strictly and we came back here after rehearsals to film the reaction video for the waltz......."
