💋One night in Paris💋

midnight rain

Joe's POV
We had just finished dinner and now we were headed outside as the city centre looked pretty amazing at night. There were some string lights across the buildings and lots of people around, a few families and a lot of couples, it was the city of love after all.

"Joe, this place is incredible, I can't believe I haven't been here before." she said in amazement as we walked hand in hand along the paving stones at half eight that evening. It was almost dark but not fully, it had only just turned September. "Me neither to be honest, it's so different to London." I said, some guy sat on a barstool, twenty six maybe, whistling obviously at Dianne which really pissed me off, I could see her flinch at it so I just put a protective arm around her. "You alright?" I asked after we had taken a few steps. "Yeah, it just hurts when people do that, it's like women are still seen as objects nowadays." she says, what she said was sadly still the mindset of many people out there. "It is hurtful Di, I wouldn't want someone doing that to me in the street either." I reassured, leaning down towards her slightly. "I guess it's just one of the perks of being absolutely gorgeous I guess." I sigh, her leaning her head on my shoulder. "You really do know how to make a girl smile." she said, I kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad, and let's make the most of it while we are here."

It was now around ten o clock and we were walking around the streets, arms loosely around each other. "Oh should we ask someone to take a picture?" I suggested, her clapping her hands excitedly and us going over to a friendly looking middle aged woman. "Hey, mind if you take a picture?" Dianne asked, the woman eagerly nodding. "Yep." she said, taking my phone and us finding a part of the path where not many people were. "3...2...1..."

The picture was of us two, my arm wrapped around her shoulders, one of her hands holding mine and our heads turned into each other where we were kissing passionately yet sweetly. Just as that photo was taken, it started to rain. "Jeez!" I say, already sort of soaked as it was literally pouring. We thanked the woman and I took my phone, putting it in my pocket before taking Dianne's hand and us running back to the hotel, trying not to get lost. The rain was pouring down loads, Paris was sure to be dripping by the morning.

Dianne's POV
"We're soaked!" I exclaimed as we went through the hotel room door, both of us absolutely drenched in water. Joe took off his leather jacket which thankfully for him was waterproof, lucky thing. "I'm just going to dry off my hair, I don't think either of us want red hair dye everywhere." I chuckled while heading into the bathroom before quickly drying off my hair, it was completely dry but it probably would end up tinting the sheets, whoops. I finished up and threw it in a messy bun, I didn't really care at this point. I also quickly wiped off all my makeup and headed back into the bedroom, Joe was sat on his phone on the bed. "Hey could you send me that picture by any chance?" I asked as I sat on the bed next to him, resting my head on his shoulder, him immediately putting an arm around me. "Yeah sure." A few seconds later my phone pinged, I checked if it was the picture and it certainly was. "Thanks." "No problem, and I wonder how many pictures that woman had taken that night." Joe chuckled which made me think. "Probably a decent few." There was a moment of silence, a very comfortable silence. "I'm going to get changed, mind if I use the bathroom first?" He asked, I shrugged. "Go ahead." "Thanks." And with that he got up and went to the bathroom with some comfy clothes, I went onto the balcony where I texted Karen.

Dianne: Hey, How was rehearsals for Strictly?
Karen: Great, my partner works super hard, btw I actually think that Kevin could win you know.
Dianne: Me too, either of you. Just got drenched and now I'm in the hotel room.
Karen: Jeez, you both Alright?
Dianne: Yeah, I doubt I'll ever see him again though.
Karen: Oh don't worry if you don't, but I'm sure you'll stay in touch.
Dianne: Maybe, But Anyway, hows Kevin?
Karen: He's Amazing, and Kiera has just learnt to walk isn't that cute!
Karen and Kevin have a one year old daughter called Kiera btw in this. She is one year old. :)
Dianne: Oh my god that's amazing, soon she will be doing batucadas and all sorts. Can I FaceTime you, show you the room and stuff?
Karen: OMG yes, plz do!
Dianne: Ok one sec.

Soon enough I had Karen on FaceTime, she picked up immediately. "Hey guys!" I said, they both waved. "So this is the view from the balcony, isn't it amazing?" I gushed, showing them the view, they both gasped. "You done well Di, we might have to go soon." Kevin said, me nodding eagerly. "You should, and this is the hotel room." I showed them the room which was relatively tidy. "Nice twin beds." Karen chuckled making me blush a bit and scowl. "Shut up Karen, and he's in the bathroom, getting changed." I said, them both nodding. "So anyway." I started, laying on my stomach on the bed with the phone propped up against a pillow. "Any news to do with dance?" I asked, Kevin clapping. "Well, one of the pro dancers have announced they're leaving, so I think me and Karen might have to put in a word for you, if that's something you wanted." Kevin said, I literally silently screamed. "Please, Strictly always sounds so amazing, the glitz and the glamour." I say before they both look at the camera and go close to the screen. "He's cute." Karen says quietly, I shake my head. "Karen! He can hear you!" I said quietly, catching Joe's attention. "Huh?" "Nothing." Karen says giggling over the phone. "That's Karen, she's a dancer on Strictly Come dancing." I say, Joe giving a wave from the end of the bed. "I'm going to go and get changed, I'll see you later guys." I say, them both saying goodbye and putting the phone down.

I went to my suitcase and I had a t shirt of Anthony's which I would have wore to bed but nothing else. I was so frustrated in myself. "You ok?" He asked, wrapping two arms around my waist. "Yeah, it's just annoying that the only nightwear I have is the t shirt of my abusive ex boyfriend." I say, leaning back into him. "I have spares."

"I never thought I'd see the day a girl wears my clothes." he says I walk up to him giving a little twirl in his Metallica t shirt that came down to mid thigh, he kissed the top of my forehead. "Well today is your lucky day." I say, putting my hands on his shoulders. "And Speaking of today, mind if we continue where we left off?" I asked, his smile growing into a smirk that makes me weak at the knees. "Oh I don't mind at all." He says, the last world being mumbled against my lips.
