Joe and Dianne's Strictly Journey

Chpater 35 - Lack of rehearsal

Dianne's POV
It's Wednesday night and Joe and I have not rehearsed as much this week, he's worried about me which is adorable but I just worry I'm going to let him down this week with our dance the Viennese waltz and the Argentine Tango. We are at my flat and I just getting into bed for the night.

"You okay?" Joe Asks

"Yeah fine" I say, I have only passed out twice since the visit to the doctors which is good, but this means our dances are not up to scratch

I get into bed beside Joe and rest my head on his chest about 20 minuets later I could hear small snores coming from Joe. He has been amazing this week looking after me, I have never had someone who cares about me as much as he does. About an hour had past and I still haven't slept a wink. Tossing and turning all night, I just hate the thought of letting Joe down on Saturday night. I managed to get some shut eye for about 20 minuets before getting up and making myself a coffee in the kitchen, trying not to wake Joe which doesn't work.

"What are you doing Dianne ?" He asks as I pour my coffee

"Making a coffee" I say a little moody

"Di Just come back to bed, you need your sleep, you are still not well" he grabs on to my arm but I pull away

"Can you just leave me alone for two seconds!" I shouted

"I'm just trying to help Di" he says sadly

"Well your not I scream" before stomping off to the sofa and seeing him walk back into the bedroom

After a couple minuets I instantly regretted what I said, I snapped to quick. Joe is the only thing that helps. A little while later I switch on the Tv, I try to be quiet as I sob a little, I was so emotional today.

A few moments later Joe appears at the door.

"I'm so sorry" I say "I don't mean it, you do help I just feel so stressed we are not rehearsing and it's getting to me"

A small smile appears on his face as I feel a dip in the sofa next to me as joe pulls me onto his lap.

"Don't worry about it okay" he says placing his hand on my face

I nod my head and snuggle into him as he places a kiss onto my head.

I woke up the next morning on the sofa still in Joe's arms we must have fell asleep while watching tv last night. I slowly wake Joe up as I know we need to rehearse a lot to day.

"Morning" he smiles at me and pulls me onto him

"Joe we got to train" I giggle a little

"How about we just say here ?" He questions

"I would love to but we really got to train" I say

"You right" he smiles

We arrive at the studio which we haven't seen much of this week. Surprisingly I'm not feeling to bad today so hopefully we can fit in many hours of rehearsals today.

"Let's start with the Argentine tango as I think it's your best we will worry about the Viennese Waltz later" I explain as we get into position

We spend most of the morning working on the Argentine tango before having a break and going to our usual cafe for lunch

"You know I'm sorry about yesterday" I apologise again

"Honestly it's okay" Joe says touching my hand smiling at me before swiftly pulling away remembering we are in public

After lunch we start on the Viennese waltz, joe's struggling with this one a bit more. After changing the ending of our dance about 100 times we finally get it into an alright place but I still wasn't 100% happy with it.

I was about to suggest to change it the begging when I wave of dizziness hit me. Joe sat me down and decided it was time to go home. I didn't want to as we have had very little rehearsal this week but I knew there was no way of stopping him.

He was so sweet when we got home he made sure I got changed okay and helped me onto the sofa.

"I'll cook us some dinner" he says getting up

"Since when did you cook?" I ask

"Since today" I giggle at his answer knowing he has cooked in the past

He makes us an amazing dinner and we talk about camera block through which Joe is always extremely nervous for and to be honest so am I this week.
