Chapter 4

Joe's POV

After my first day of training, it is safe to say that this is way worse and way harder than I thought it would be. Dancing definitely is not my strong suit what so ever, and I genuinely feel sorry for Dianne.

But with that being said, I got through my first day, I somewhat know the routine and I will get better.

With sweat dripping down from my hair, I walk towards my bag, collecting all my items and putting them in as Dianne does the same.

"Hey joe, I'd just like to say, I am really, really proud of you, you worked so hard and smashed out today. You will be a dancer in no time what so ever" she said with a giggle and a wink.

I smiled back to her as I grabbed my bag and walked with her towards the door.

"So what are your plans for tonight?" I ask, quietly hoping she would have none and we could hang out a little bit.

"mmmm, I probably have to spend time with Anthony, we haven't really seen much of each other these past couple weeks, so I should probably make the effort to" she sighs. "What about you joe?"

"I'll probably start planning the party, you're going to be there yeah? You can bring Anthony if you want?" I suggest, hoping it would make her come, for some reason, I feel as though I would be super disappointed if she wasn't there.

"I'll definitely be there, can't say the same for Anthony though, but I will ask." She shrugs, and with that we are out of the studio on the street in the brisk autumn air.

"Well Anthony is around the corner waiting for me, see you tomorrow at the same time yeah?" she grins,

"of course Dianne, I'll be there right on the dot." I reply

She smiles and turns away from me and begins walking, while I stay in the same spot and watch her walk away, secretly hoping she would turn back to me, but she didn't.

And with that, I turn the opposite way and start my walk home to my apartment, my mind still wondering about her.

I get to my apartment, unlock the door and walk into the lounge room, plonking on the couch, my legs sore from all of the dancing today. I grab my phone and make a quick tweet:

Sorry that I haven't been active today guys! I had my first training session with my mysterious partner, and I am absolutely POOPED, some come give me a massage please

I publish the tweet and then set my phone back down on the couch next to me, and begin to close my eyes, only for my phone to start ringing.

I groan and pick it up to see my sister Zoe is face timing me, I press accept and then hold the phone to my face,

"Hey Zoe, what's up?"

"Hey broseph, I just wanted to check in for 2 reasons, one; to see how your first day of training went and two; to help you organise your party for this Saturday because knowing you, you haven't started a single thing. And I know I am right, so I've made a list and organised it all, all you have to do is call up and pay" she says, with a chuffed smile to follow. I laugh at her and then continue to tell her about my day without saying who my partner is, and we begin to organise the party together.

I cannot wait for Saturday night.

Dianne's POV

As I get into Anthony's car, I can already see him on his phone, I roll my eyes before jumping in and giving him a kiss on the cheek,

"Hey babe, how was your day?" I ask enthusiastically, trying to start some sort of conversation with him. He turns his phone of, starts the engine of the car and begins to drive off while replying to my question,

"yeah it was alright, very busy though. I read the new script for a couple of next seasons episodes and finally my character is doing something meaningful, I'm really glad. I've got way more screen time and way more episodes, and apparently it's because the viewers really like my character." He exclaims, this is the most excited I've seen him in weeks.

"The only issue is that means more time spent filming" he says softly, placing one of his hands on my thigh,

"That's amazing news babe, you should be super proud, it's your dream" I reply encouragingly.

He continues on about the episodes and what not for the whole journey home, literally up until we got to the front door of our apartment.

"Hey, would you like to come to a party this Saturday night? It's my dance partner, Joe's birthday, and he is having tons of people over to celebrate and watch the first episode of strictly, and he said you could come too" I ask. Almost instantly, Anthony is back on his phone again and walks into our room, while saying,

"Nah sorry, can't, I've got plans"

So much for a supportive boyfriend
