They say things happen for a reason.
They also say that you find the one when you stop looking.
With both of these two cliche sayings combined, something magical is bound to happen.
When british youtube star, Joe Sugg agrees to participate on Str...
After yesterday's incident with Stacey and Kevin, Joe and I were being very careful about being affectionate towards each other at the studio. Not that either of us were embarrassed or what not, but we both agreed that we needed to keep it pretty professional in front of the cast and crew for the time being. And plus, neither of us wanted the hassle of explaining to everyone what's going on between us, we just wanted to enjoy each other's company, so laying low was our best option for now.
I arrive at the studio early this morning as tonight's live show was the Halloween special, meaning that everyone was rushing trying to organise decorations and what not, and the hair/makeup team would need extra time to create our given looks.
I walk to the green room and look around at the food on the table. It was filled with cakes and pastries and muffins, as well as hot lunch foods and fruit. Although the carbs were calling out for me to eat them, I decided against it and went for a handful of grapes. That will keep me full till later I tell myself.
I continue walking, passing celebs, pros and the crew on my way to Joe's dressing room, saying hi and stopping for a conversation here and there with people.
Once I get to his room, I knock twice before I walk in, finding him cuddled up on the sofa, headphones in, watching the videos we filmed of the foxtrot throughout the week. Gosh, he is so darn cute sometimes.
I sneak up behind him, before placing my hand on his eyes,
"Guess who!" I giggle,
"Ummm Lee Ryan?" he responds sarcastically,
"bump bahhh, try again,"
"Shirley?"
"Close, but not quite there yet,"
"How about my gorgeous girl... person" he says correcting himself, before turning around and smiling at me. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek before I walk around to the front of the sofa and plonk myself down on his lap, his hands instantly finding their way, wrapping around my waist.
"What are you doing joe? Going over the dance?"
"Yeah, I just really wanna nail this one. Its been such a memorable and special week to me, and I wanna capitalise it with a great dance" he says, with determination in his voice.
"Joe you'll get it I know ..." Our conversation was disrupted when the door opened, and we heard a voice,
"Joe? Have you seen Dianne, we need you two in hair please..."
I quickly jump of Joe's lap and stand up in front of him. One of the backstage managers walks in, finding both Joe and me looking very awkward and very embarrassed.
"Oh there you are Dianne, everyone's been looking for both of you, so I thought I better come and check here." She says awkwardly,
"Ahh we'll be there in a minute, just gotta get some things sorted. We are right behind you," Joe responds, before the lady leaves the room.
"Ahh that felt weird" I laugh off nervously,
"Agreed, but it's what's best for now" he says lovingly, before standing up and facing me. He raises one hand and gently brushes a loose bit of har behind my ear, before cupping my cheek and leaning in to kiss me.
The kiss lingers for some time before Joe pulls away,
"This is definitely worth hiding if we get to do that whenever we want without being question or judged" he breathes,
"Agreed, but we should probably get going to hair, don't you reckon?"
"yes, come on love," he says whilst heading towards the door. I begin to follow him before feeling slightly light headed and stumbling a little,
"You alright Di?" Joe asks with a slight hint of concern in his voice,
"Yeah I'm good, just tripped over my own feet" I laugh off casually, before walking up to him to make our way down to the hair team.

Joe's POV
Dianne and I are now fully made over to the nines. The strictly hair and makeup and costume teams do not mess around with these sorts of things. We look great.
Its about 20 minutes before the show is starting, so everyone is running around frantically trying to get last minute touches in, quickly going over steps and forgetting moves. But for Dianne and I, it is completely different.
I am feeling quietly confident in this week's dance, and in Dianne. She looks absolutely sensational and I am so lucky that she is mine. God, I love saying that.
We get Neil, one of the pro dancers to take some photos of us two. After a couple minutes of posing, we stop and take a look. After flicking through a lot of them I finally stop on one. I'm being a complete poser to the camera whilst Dianne is looking at me, and the way she looks at me makes my stomach get butterflies.

I look at that picture for so long I could've made a trillion copies in my mind. I glance over to Dianne who was now messing about with Neil and Johannes and question how I got so lucky.
"That's the look I was talking bout yesterday" a voice said, interrupting my thoughts. I turn to see Kev there, pointing at the photo on my phone,
"What?"
"The way Dianne is looking at you in that picture, was the way you looked at her the first time you guys properly met" he replied.
I blushed slightly before giving him a smile, to which he patted my back and then walked off.

Running off from Claudia's area to the greenroom was the best. I was so happy with how the dance went and we got such a good mark.
As we got to the greenroom, Dianne was ecstatic, jumping up and down around me like a little cute puppy.
"Joe, I am so incredibly proud of you! You did amazing out there, you did it to perfection." She says jumping into my arms. I pick her up and spin her around a couple of times. As I put her back on the floor, she stumbles a bit,
"woah, you 'right there love?" I laugh,
"yeah yeah... all good... just a bit dizzy..." she replies, her face beginning to turn pale. She looks like she is about to pass out, so I grab her waist to hold her upright,
"Woahh, okay let's get you seated" I say as I walk her over to one of the couches. I place her down before kneeling in front of her,
"Can I get you anything? Water? Food? I don't think I've seen you eat today" I laugh lightly. She shakes her head, which is now resting between her legs.
"No, seriously Dianne, have you eaten anything today?"
A/N: Hey guys, just a quick disclaimer. The eating disorder part of the book is a fictional part – it is not a true representation of dianne's life. I wanted to add it to create a different more serious feel to some of the book. If you get upset or anything by these parts, by all means please don't read them! I will be adding trigger warnings before all chapters containing large amounts of this issue. ALSO thankyou for nearly 500 reads and all the people who have voted for my chapters, you know who you are! I appreciate it and you so much! Much love xo
