As a little thank you for nearly 700 reads, here's another chapter, where things get good...
Joe POV
We weren't overly near each other but we kept on giving each other little looks. When I came back from the toilet, I decided to test the waters and sit closer to her, so our shoulders were an inch apart. We shared a look and she rested her head daintily on my chest. I had butterflies, as I placed my hand around our shoulders. And then words that I was not expecting to hear, at least not so soon,
'Can I stay the night' she said it so causally like it had happened before, we looked at each other again, and I gave her a shaky nod of agreement.
'Only if your sure' I told her- I didn't want to be getting into a dodgy relationship.
'Never been more certain' we watched the rest of the chosen film- Joe and Caspar HTR USA- sharing some jokes and banter, and when it finished we retreated upstairs. She perched on the end of my bed, and moved her hand over the sheets.
'Do you wanna borrow a T-Shirt?' I asked, and she responded with a tired nod.
Dianne POV
It was risky, but I knew I had to do something about the clear sexual tension we shared.
He chucked me one of his T-Shirts and went and changed into it in his bathroom. It reminded me of our first day at Elstree, when I commented on his cologne. He smelt like a dream.
Whilst Joe was showering, I texted Amy to ask her advice,
Di: guess what?
Amy: what???
Di: I'm in joes bed
Amy: ?!?!?!?!
Di: it just kinda happened okay, I know it's the right thing to do, I just don't know how far I should go???
Amy: don't go to far if u know what I mean, but try to understand what he wants and what he is feeling.
Di: Thanks babez, love u x
Amy: love u too, have fun 👀
I switched my phone off as Joe settled in next to me. He kept a distance, but I found his hand, and we clutched each other's palms, both sweating with nerves.
'So...' I said
'So...' he replied 'you look cute in my shirt' I smiled
'That's so cute you have one dimple' he remarked.
'Yeah my mum used to tell me it was where the fairies would kiss me at night'
'What, like this' he leant across and kissed my cheek. As he pulled away, our eyes connected, and soon after our lips connected too. It was short, but deep, and in that one moment all of my worry and stress melted away into his arms, and all of our feelings had been established in one tiny kiss.
I rolled over, Joes hand on my hip, and dosed off thinking about the kiss and excited about where we would go from here. It was like in the movies- I had fallen for my best friend.
As I said before, thank you for all the reads!! I started this story certain that I wasn't going to publish it, but I took over my nerves and went for it and I'm so glad I did. I appreciate it soo much and I still can't quite believe it, considering I did this for a bit of fun! Please check out Madsville1 as well, as she's the one who persuaded me to do this and I'm so thankful :)
