All We'll Ever Be || Joe And Dianne

10

Joe's POV:

I wake up next to Dianne, smiling. I don't care what people try to tell me in the future. I was young and I wanted it to be special. And it was. Forget Connie. Forget Aj. Forget all the bad things that have happened in the past. This was solely me and Dianne. That's all I really care about.
"I love you, Suggy." Dianne says, half-asleep.
"You were my first, reddo. I don't care what anyone says." Because Dianne was the first time I ever felt like someone loved me for me.

"Hey where's your parents and Zoe?" Dianne asks in her adorable morning voice. Still Australian, just how I like it.
"They went out for the night. Camping or something?" I laugh.
"And Zoe went to Alfie's house I think." I add, imagining Zoe camping.
"We should probably get up." I sigh, not wanting to leave the arms of this beauty.
"I'm making breakfast." I tell her. She lays there, reading something on her phone. She nods slightly and I make sure she isn't going to try and get out of bed.

When I go back to my room I almost dropped the breakfast tray, looking at Dianne. She's wearing one of my tops, the same one I took off last night. It's plain white and falls just above her knee but she somehow looks incredible in it. She's put her hair into a half-up style and she just looks gorgeous overall. How did I get
so lucky? She jumps back into bed and smiles as she sees her favourite breakfast. I feel complete just looking at her.
"This is delicious Joe. Thank you." She says as she tucks into her meal. Anything I can do for this woman, I will do.
"So Dianne, I want to keep dancing with you. I love being partnered with you and you amaze me whenever you dance. I wouldn't want to lose that again." She blushes. I hope she knows no Connie or Aj is going to separate us.
"I met with Connie." She tells me.
"I want to meet with her again." So that's why she was so calm yesterday when Connie was there.
"I thought you didn't like her." I put my arm over her shoulder.
"She's the worst. I just need Aj to realise that." I lean into her shoulder, hoping for this moment to never end. I'm going to help Dianne, no matter how much it pains me.
"We'll do this together. I have an idea." I assure her.

As it's the weekend, Dianne and I lay in bed for a while longer before deciding on what to do for the day. Eventually, we choose to go to the nearby park together and potentially have a picnic. It's either that or eat in the cafe there, one of the two.
"So Joe, what's your plan?" She starts the conversation, gripping onto my hand.
"You're going to have to trust me a lot for this to work in our favour." She grips my hand a little tighter at that.
"Just tell me the plan." She frowns.
"We're gonna prove Connie will go for whoever she can get." Dianne nods along and I'm ready to act now, I know I can do it with her by my side.

"Hey Connie, would you like to meet up with me tomorrow? I just thought we should catch up." I speak on the phone. At least it's a phone call. That way she can't see my grimace.
"I would love to Joe! I knew you'd come round. Aj is nice and all but he just isn't my type."'I laugh awkwardly trying to cover up my nerves.
"Okay great, see you tomorrow."

Dianne listens in to the full conversation, recording it as I put her on speaker. I knew how much courage it was taking her to do this and I couldn't be more grateful in my life.
"I love you babe." I tell her and she blushes, hiding into my shoulder.
"I love you too. Don't ever call me babe." She laughs.
"I'm older than you." And I laugh with her. It's nice to see her happy again.

A/N: 700 words exactly of pure annoyance. The thing that happens soon is something that I wish I could change but if I changed it now it wouldn't fit any particular story line so like keep that in mind.

So yeah thanks for reading x
