Friday felt like it had approached so so quickly for Dianne. The weeks rehearsals had gone without a hitch and she had tried to block the feelings out of her mind,failing mostly. Dianne always went to Joes dressing room after each run to usually discuss how there dress rehearsal had gone before leaving back to there hotel for the night.
She knocked onto Joes door.
"Come in!" He shouted. Dianne opening the door to find Joe lay on his put-out bed playing a game of FIFA. Something he usually did.
"Can we talk about something?"
No No No. What had she just said. She never thought the words would come out of her mouth but as soon as she saw him lay there looking all soft and cute the feelings flooded back into Diannes mind.
"Sit down"he smiled,shuffling along as she sat beside him.
"It's something I've been meaning to tell you. Um- Basically Joe i'm falling in love with you."
'Basically Joe i'm falling in love with you'
The sentence took Joe aback. The exact words he wanted to say to Dianne but was scared too.
"I'm glad you said it first"he smiled,taking her hand and caressing it with his thumb. " I've felt the same way since the second we met,your so different to the other girls and the way you smile and laugh sends me all fuzzy. I have been meaning to tell you how I felt but i didn't see why this gorgeous redhead Aussie wouldn't want some weedy floppy boy from Wiltshire. Look at Anthony he is just- Wait. What about you and him?"
"I finished it on Tuesday"
"And the press?"
"No one knows Joe. Not even Oti and Amy. I can't spill out my problems onto them. "
Dianne let herself relax into Joes side,feeling his arm snake around her shoulder and his head relax on top of hers.
"What does this mean for us Joe? I'm gonna look like an idiot if i've just split up with him and already wanting to get with you."
" I have an idea. Tell me if you don't want to. We don't call ourselves a couple, maybe like a code word where we can be close and intimate with eachother but without it being official?"
"Skin?"
"Skins the word."
Dianne looked up into Joes gaze, instigating there first kiss. Both of there lips locked together for a few seconds,His hand snaking to the back of her neck and her hands placed on his hipbones.
The kiss broke apart and Dianne smiled widely up at Joe.
"Skin" They both said,bursting out with laughter before cuddling back into eachother.
//
They were both now in the Uber on the way back to the hotel,Joes hand rested on Diannes thigh as her hand rested on his hand.
"Di"
"Yeah?"
"Would you stay with me tonight?"
"Why wouldn't i!" Her smile beamed,looking to the front of the uber before kissing his lips once more.
"You know what Dianne, I'm loving 'Skin" he laughed,meeting gaze with her.
