💋One night in Paris💋

anywhere you wish

Dianne's POV
I watched Tom walk away. "You are dead to me Joseph!" He shouted, Joe shaking his head. "He must be a right laugh." I said, us both sitting down. "He is, Ive known him for years." Joe says, smiling at the thought. "So where are you going?" I asked, him turning back to me. "To Ireland, one of our mates are getting married, Ive never been to Ireland before." he explained, me nodding and having a sip of my water. "Oh me neither, it must be nice there, loads of grass and not much chaos." I said, him shrugging. "Maybe."

Joe's POV
Around ten minutes later a man came up to us, a psychotic look in his eye. "Dianne, it's nearly time to go." He said, looking down at her with nothing but disgust. She trembled, looking up at him. "I'm not going." she said, yes Dianne. "What do you mean, you're not going?" He asked, raising his voice, I took one of her hands in mine. "She said she's not going, so just leave it." I said, looking him dead in the eye. "Who are you?" He asked aggressively, glaring at me and then Dianne. "Does it matter?" I said, him rolling his eyes and shaking his head, I let go of her hand, getting my phone to have the police on speed dial.

Dianne's POV
As soon as Joe let go, Anthony grabbed my shirt and pulled me up off my seat. "Lets go, before you regret it." He says, Joe already having got up and spotted the police. "You called the police on me, bitch!" He shouted in my face, Joe ripping him off me. "No mate, I did, and I'm not looking for a fight so I'd suggest you leave." Joe said, me looking at him as if to say "he's trouble" Joe just weakly smiled at me but didn't have time to say anything because Anthony had walked swiftly up to him and punched him in the jaw, me letting out a traumatised scream, jumping back in shock, Joe letting out a groan in pain, the police coming over, thank god. Anthony had Joe pressed up against a wall, holding him by the throat which made me burst into tears. "You'll pay, I promise." Anthony said, throwing another punch at his face, causing him to be knocked out slightly but was immediately ripped away by the police who were dragging him away, me running over to help Joe who had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and a black eye, taking his hand and looking desperately into his eyes. "He's a psycho Joe, he hurts people and you shouldn't have defended me, I could have taken a hit." I reasoned, cupping his non bleeding side. "I know, but you shouldn't have to. I'm not letting him hurt you again Di." He said, trying to softly smile but wincing a bit at the pain. I just hugged him, holding him close to me. "Thank you." I whispered, him returning the hug. The police soon went past, gripping Anthony who was trying to break from their grasp. A woman soon came over, she had a three year old with her and she was carrying tissues and wipes. "Have these, I'm so sorry guys." she said sympathetically. "Thanks, it must have been a bit of a scene but it had to happen." Joe said, him and the woman hugging briefly.

Joe's POV
When she pulled away, Dianne began to wipe away the waterfall of blood that had taken shape on my chin and neck. "You were very brave." I heard the little girl say which made me smile. "Thank you, you off on holiday today?" I asked trying to engage in a brief conversation. "Yeah, we are going to America!" she said, the woman smiling over at me. "Oh that's cool, maybe you'll see some famous people there." I said, her nodding excitedly. "I hope, when's our flight mummy?" "Very soon my lovely, we will see you guys later, and good luck." she said, me and Dianne nodding. "Thanks." We both shouted after her, Dianne having just finished wiping away the blood. "Thanks Di, and he's pretty aggressive isn't he." I said, her sighing and nodding. "Yep." she said, checking the time.

Tom soon came over, I had some explaining to do. "Joe?" He asked, noticing the stain down my chin and neck. "Anthony assaulted him." Dianne said through gritted teeth, Tom speechless and giving me a tight hug. "Oh my god bro, are you alright?" He said before pulling away. "Yeah, but he's no good, claims that I will pay, he promised." I said, Dianne looking up at me concerned. "Did he really say that?" I put a hand on her hip, who cares if Tom saw, it didn't mean anything. "Listen, as long as he isn't hurting you anymore that's the main thing." I said, making her smile and Tom just going on his phone. "I'll go and get the water." He said, me laughing. "You just went!" I laughed, him rolling his eyes. "I forgot." He said innocently, me shaking my head as he walked away.

"Di, so how long are you going for?" I asked, drinking some Coca Cola, trying to rid the taste of blood from my mouth. "Indefintely." she said, me shaking my head. "Fine, but I'll make you a deal." I decided, her nodding. "I have family in Australia so I'm going there, but their not there until tomorrow so I need to be out of the UK for tonight." she said, perfect. "I have the wedding the day after tomorrow so what if I came with you, anywhere you wish, and then I help you get to Australia." I explained.

"...and then I help you get to Australia." He explained, I never thought that this could be the result of a bad situation. I just smiled up at him. "Deal, and we can see what flights are available, both get exchanges?" I suggested, us both smiling and shaking on it, getting our cases and heading to the customer services.

Joe's POV
While we walked, I quickly got on the phone to Tom. "Listen, she's got one night to go anywhere because then she's headed to her home in Australia, but I'm going with her for the night and then I'll be back for the wedding." I explained, him chuckling over the phone. "Oh cool, a one night stand." He said, making me gasp and choke on air. "Nope, you dirty bugger." I said, us reaching the desk. "I've got to to go." "Wait, where are you going?" Tom asked, Dianne and I reaching the front of the queue. "No idea." "Tell me when you choose." "Alright, See ya." and with that, I put down the phone.

"We have one flight available, the gate has just opened which is convenient." she chuckled, both of us relieved. Dianne nodded at me. "Perfect, So two departures and one return to Australia, one to Ireland?" I asked, her nodding and printing off four tickets. "Your two flights to Paris, plus your returns." she said, I've always wanted to go there. Dianne's eyes lit up, I grinned. "I've always wanted to go!" she squealed, me nodding in agreement and picking up my case. "Me too, one night in Paris let's go!" I cheered. "One night in Paris, I swear that's a movie." she said, me shrugging. "I don't know, but we should board." I said, us both wheeling our cases away.

Tom approached us, eager to see where we headed. "So..." He asked excitedly, giving a dum roll. "We're headed to Paris baby!" she cheered, my arm loosely around her shoulders, her stood quite close to me in her right hip, leant into me. "Ooh it's nice there, I can't wait to hear all about it." Tom said excitedly, bringing me into a quick hug. "I'll tell you all about it as soon as I get back." I said, us pulling away. "Final call from Stansted to Paris, please make your way to the gate." We both said bye to Tom heading off towards the gate.
