Joe Sugg Imagines

The Cha Cha

A/N: This was requested by @Summerhxll and I hope you all enjoy!

You were a professional dancer, and had been taking lessons ever since you were little. You also happened to be best friends with Diane Buswell, ever since the both of you went to university for dance. You had supported her from her big career moves, and her with you. Now, you were supporting her as she was dancing on the hot dance show, Strictly Come Dancing.

This week's dance was the Cha Cha. You were excited because this was one of your favorite dances to do, so you couldn't wait to see how Diane and her partner, Joe Sugg, were going to do.

You got a text from Diane on the Sunday before rehearsals would start. The text read:

Hey love! I just came down with a horrible virus, and can't dance this week. Producers say I have to find a replacement. Would you mind filling in for me? I know you love the Cha Cha, and you would kill it!

You couldn't believe that your best friend was asking you to perform on Strictly! You couldn't pass this opportunity up. You replied:

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that you're ill, and I hope you feel better soon. Yes, I will cover you!

Within the next thirty seconds, you received a reply:

Yay! Thanks so much love! You and Joe are going to kill it! I will let Joe know, and rehearsals begin tomorrow. Love you!

And with that, you went to your room to get prepared for the week ahead.

-Next Day-

You arrived to the dance studio about half an hour early so you could get warmed up and mentally prepared to meet your dance partner for the week. Diane had told you that Joe would probably be a few minutes late, since he is always running late.

With about 10 minutes left to spare before the start of rehearsals, Joe casually walks into the studio. The two of you make eye contact, giving each other a smile before he walks to place his things off to the side. He then makes he way towards you, holding out his hand for a handshake.

"Hello, I'm Joe. You must be Y/N." he said with a grin. You knew he was attractive from watching the previous episodes of the show, but wow was he super attractive in person.

You nodded in return, then replied, "The one and only."

He chuckled at your response. "Diane has told me all about you, but never mentioned how pretty you were. I can't wait to see the great dancer in action!"

This made you blushed, and you just smiled in return. "Well, let's get started, shall we?"

The two of you spent the rest of the day, and the rest of the week getting to know each other, all while laughing and rehearsing the dance.

-Show Night-

It was the night of the show, and you were extremely nervous. You had danced on numerous occasions, but nothing as big as Strictly. You stood in front of the mirror backstage trying to calm yourself down.

After some time, you see Joe walking up behind you through the reflection in the mirror. He was grinning ear to ear, until he noticed your anxious face.

"Hey Y/N, what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing. Just a bit nervous, I suppose." You looked down at your shoes, embarrassed at how nervous you were.

You felt a hand gently turn you around, and then take hold of your hand. You look up at Joe, and he had a serious look on his face. "Y/N, you are an amazing dancer. Diane wouldn't have asked you to fill in if you weren't. We've worked really hard on this, and I know that you're going to smash it."

You gave him a small smile, and said, "Thanks, Joe. I don't feel as nervous now."

"Good," he replied. "Besides, once we kill it on stage, I was hoping to take the pretty lady who saved my butt this week to dinner afterwards." Joe winked at you and had a cheeky grin on his face.

You could feel your cheeks heating up, but you replied cooly, "Well then, we must hurry up and go smash it then. I like to go eat Italian after my performances."

"Noted," he smile. "Let's go, then."

He took your hand, and the two of you made your way to the stage.

-After Show-

Once all the performances were done, and you all received your scores, you headed backstage to change back into your regular clothes.

You and Joe had done really well with the Cha Cha to "Just Got Paid" and you were immensely proud of the both of you. You told Joe you would meet with him after you finished changing, so you grabbed all of your things, and headed back to the main stage.

As you walked on the stage, you saw Joe standing there, waiting for you.

"So, about that dinner you promised..." you grinned.

He chuckled and replied, "I am a man of my word. We smashed it, and now I will take you out to dinner. Plus, I couldn't say no to that pretty face of yours." He gave you another cheeky wink.

He held his hand out for you, which you gladly took.

"Remind me to thank Diane for asking you to take her place."

"Don't worry, I will be thanking her for myself."

The two of you blushed at each other, and continued to head out to dinner.

After dinner, the two of you exchanged numbers, and the new friendship eventually turned into something more. You couldn't thank Diane enough for giving you the chance to meet the guy who would eventually become your boyfriend.
