Strictly '18

-Dianne-
I woke up to Joe stroking my hair. I snuggled close to him.

"What time is it?" I mumbled.

"It's quarter to 8. I thought I'd wake you up now so you can be ready by the time we need to leave at quarter to 9." He told me. I nodded.

I sat up and rested my head on his shoulder.

"How you feeling? Did you sleep okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. Slight headache but nothing painkillers won't fix. And I slept great. I think I always will when I'm with you." I smiled up to him. He looked down and kissed me. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet... it'll taste and smell gross."

"I don't care, I just really want to kiss you." He chuckled and kissed me. I smiled and kissed him back. He cupped my cheek with one hand so I leant closer.

He deepened the kiss and we started making out. It wasn't just normal kissing though, it felt so passionate.

We kept going for a while until we stopped because of Joe's phone chiming from a text. We  sat back and he softly rubbed his nose against mine. I smiled widely.

"That was... that was great." He panted and grinned.

"It was amazing. We should really practice that more." I panted softly. He nodded and leant across the bed and picked up his phone. I kept hugging him as he read the message on his phone.

"The number of spam texts I get is ridiculous..." he sighed. "Come on... you should get up." I said as he sat up. I was still clinging onto him so I sat up too. I groaned and swung my legs out of the bed.

"Okay, I'm gonna go use the shower in my room. So you can use your shower in your room." I smiled to him.

"Alright. I'll see you in a bit." He grinned as he wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed me. I kissed him back happily. He finally let me go so I could go back to my room to get ready.

I got straight into the shower where I shaved, washed my hair and washed my body. I rinsed completely and got out of the shower. I wanted to beat Joe at getting ready today.

I got dried off and dressed. I wrapped my hair in a towel and started doing my make up. I knew I didn't need to do much because they would just re-do it once we got to to the studio.

Once that was done, I dried my hair with the hair dryer and made sure I had everything in my bag. This had all taken half an hour. I left my room and knocked on Joe's door.

I had to wait a minute or two before the door opened.

Joe was dripping wet, his hair was soaked and he had just a towel wrapped around his waist.

He held my hand and pulled me into the room.

"Hey, beautiful." He smiled and kissed me as he closed the door. "Wait, how are you already done and ready to go?"

"Because you, Mr Sugg, take your time! Go and finish." I grinned.

"Yes, Miss Buswell!" He nodded and grinned back.

"Oh, Joe? Where's your vlogging camera? I wanna make it onto your channel." I called to him as he went into the bathroom.

"On the bedside table, on my side of the bed." He called back to me.

I grinned and sat on the bed as I picked up the camera. I frowned as I struggled to find the power button - I found it eventually. I turned it on and started recording. I turned the lens towards me.

"Right, if this has made it into the video, then I win. And Joe, I know you're watching this when you're editing so let this be lesson to you to get ready faster in the morning."

I grinned to the camera as I glanced to the bathroom door. I could hear him singing quietly in the shower.

"You made sure that I was awake at quarter to 8 this morning to I was ready to go at quarter to 9. I am now ready by twenty-five to 9. Where are you? Still in the shower."

I stood up and walked over to the bathroom door to record him singing.

"Great singing, Joe!" I shouted to him.

"Cheers, Di!" He shouted back. I grinned at the camera and put my thumbs up.

"Hands up if you think Joe should hurry up in the shower!" I grinned. I stopped recording and put his camera back.

A couple minutes later and Joe came out of the bathroom. He had gotten dressed in there too. His hair was still wet so he was rubbing it with a towel.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Yeah, I have been for the past ten minutes." I chuckled. He nodded and got his shoes on and made sure everything was in his backpack.

"Right, let's go." He smiled as opened the hotel door for me. I stepped out and waited for him so we could walk together.

"Okay, Joe. I did filming something on your camera. But you have to promise me that you will put it into the vlog." I grinned.

"Um, sure. What did you say in it?" He asked as he shrugged.

"You've gotta promise. Pinky promise?" I asked as I held my pinky out to him.

"Sure. I pinky promise. Di, what did you say?" He asked as he linked his little finger with mine. I chuckled. "No, you're scaring me now, what did you do?"

"You'll have to wait and see." I laughed as I walked ahead to the lift.

"No, no. Dianne!" He laughed nervously and ran to catch up. We both went towards the lift and he unzipped bag to get his camera. He watched the clip as we waited for and went into the lift.

I watched him nervously to see how he'd react.

"You promised you'd put it in there, no going back now, Suggy." I chuckled.

"You look so beautiful in that video. You look perfect." He smiled to me. He stepped closer and kissed me passionately.

I kissed him back lovingly and relaxed.

We stopped as soon as the lift stopped and we parted as the doors opened. I could feel myself blushing and I could see Joe was going red.

"C-come on..." he smiled. I followed him out of the lift and out to the Uber we had ordered. As we were sat in the car, he reached across the seat and held my hand.

"Joe?" I said to get his attention. He looked up from his phone over to me. "Whatever happens tonight, I'll always be proud and I'll still always be yours." He smiled widely.

"That's all I'm hoping for. You're so much more valuable than that glitterball. If we win, then it would be a bonus. But honestly, no matter what happens, I'm the real winner because you're the best prize." He smiled and kissed my hand.

I could feel myself blushing all over again.
