💋One night in Paris💋

Nights alone

Dianne's POV

"Dot!" My two brothers cheered as I got out of the taxi that was on the driveway with my suitcase, both running up to me and giving me hugs in turn. "Brendan, Andrew, so good to see you both!" I exclaimed, Brendan taking my case. "By the way, what made you come to Australia?" Andrew asked, me sighing. "I'll explain when you're all together, it might take a while." I said, them both nodding and going inside, I had some explaining to do.

"So you guys obviously know about Anthony." I started as we all sat on the sofas. It was me, mum, dad and my two brothers. They all nodded. "He was trying to get me deported." I explained with a tear, both of my brothers shaking their heads in disgust. "That's disgraceful, you could have stayed, you didn't have to leave." Rina said, me shaking my head. "He threatened me, he left me with no choice." I said, my mum hugging me sympathetically. "So what happened?" dad asked, me taking a deep breath.

"A boy helped me, he called the police and they arrested Anthony. He did get into a physical fight with Anthony, and by that I mean Anthony knocked him out." I said, my entire family surprised but nodding and listening carefully. "He was really sweet, he offered to come with me for the night wherever I went, he didn't have to be in Ireland until the next day really." I said, my entire family cooing. "So where did you go?" mum asked, me blushing slightly. "We went to Paris, it was really nice. Um, yeah." I stuttered, all of my family giving me the "What actually happened?" Look. "Dot, take off your hoodie." Andrew giggled, me scowling at him. "One night in Paris, it was waiting to happen." mum said making us all laugh. "So you're not mad?" I asked, them all shaking their heads. "Of course not, he sounds really nice and you deserved that little night in Paris, I remember going years back, it's lovely there." My mum said, thinking back to her youth.

"Mum, I'm just going to run an errand." I shouted out as I went out of the house. "Oh Dot!" she shouted, running after me. "Yeah ma?" "Can you get some sweets for when Mia and Billy arrive?" she asks, me nodding and running off.

"It's a gorgeous picture, you should definitely frame it." the cashier said as I took the picture that we took in Paris out of the printer. "I should, here's the money." "Thank you, G'day Dianne." "G'day."

I headed home, I put the sweets for my niece and nephew down and went straight up to my room where I put began to put the picture up on the wall with all my other memories. I had the birth of my nieces and nephews up, my sixteenth birthday, and even my first birthday up. I took the one of Anthony down and replaced it with the one of me and Joe, hopefully where it would stay forever.

"Dot, are you okay in there?" Andrew asked as he came into my room, me admiring the picture. "Yeah, are the kids going to be here soon?" I asked, him shrugging and following my eyeline. "He seems so perfect for you Dot, I wouldn't be surprised if you meet again." He says, putting an arm on my shoulder, me nodding and smiling. "Maybe, but anyway, what's for tea?"

After dinner we all went out for a walk where I was giving Mia a piggy back. "Faster Auntie Dot!" she cried, me running along the sand. It felt good to be on the Aussie beach again. It was so peaceful out here, the waves pushing and pulling, it really did feel like home.

"I'm knackered, I'm going to head up to bed." I said as I got up from the sofa, all my family saying goodnight to me. I tiredly went up the stairs, giving a big yawn on the way. I went up to my room and sat on my bed, sighing deeply. All I wanted was him with me, right now. For him to come and wrap his arms around my waist and bury his head into my neck, telling me that everything was going to be alright and make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. I found the nightshirt which was once his in my bag and threw it on, it smelt just like him, it was wonderful. It was so strong and I never wanted it to fade. Ever.

Joe's POV
It was midnight and I was growing really tired. "Tom, you awake?" I asked, only to be responded to with nothing but sheer silence. I turned and looked away from my phone, he was fast asleep. "I guess not."

That night was bittersweet. I was so happy to be in Ireland with Tom. He was my best mate and had been for nearly seven years, even before the YouTube days. We've been to Ireland a few times before together and we always spend every moment like it's our last. But a part of me misses her, terribly. Even though it's only been a day, and we've only known each other two, it still feels like I've known her forever. I just wanted to hold her, hold her close to me and sleep next to her every night, to wake up next to her every morning and to just be with her. I noticed Tom had thrown a pillow on the floor which gave me an idea...

Tom's POV
I woke up to the Irish sun blazing through the window, it was really bright and done my eyes right in, so much so that I had no choice but to wake up. My eyes flickered open a few times before I was fully awake. I checked the time, seven am. In my opinion, way to early. I turned over to face Joe, who was currently cuddling a pillow, one arm wrapped over it, holding it close to him and he had nuzzled his face into an edge. He missed her.

I laid there for a few seconds deciding what to do. I could either leave him be and wake him up gently, or I could try and take the pillow away from him and see what he could do, it was my pillow anyway. Me being the little shit that I am, I chose the second option, sorry Joseph.

I reached over and put the corners of the pillow in my fingertips before I pulled it closer to me slowly, trying to get it out of his grasp but instead Joe pulled it closer to him while he was still asleep, clinging on for dear life. "Joe, wake up." I chuckle, him opening his blue eyes slowly, flickering a few times. "Can I have my pillow back please?" I chuckle, him going red and handing it to me reluctantly. "You can cuddle me if you want." I joke.

"What are we doing?" I question as Joe lay next me, us cuddling like koala bears. "No idea." He laughs, both of us in fits and pulling away.

Dianne's POV
I woke up to Mia bouncing on the end of my bed. "Auntie Dot, Andrew is downstairs." she says, waking me up with a start. "Oh is he, can you tell him I'll be down in a moment?" she nodded and ran downstairs, leaving me to wake up. I instantly remembered I was in the t shirt he let me wear, I looked down and sniffed the collar, inhaling the familiar scent and trying to put it to memory, how intoxicating it was. I got out of bed and threw my hair up in a messy bun, I didn't really care to be honest before I went groggily down the stairs and into the living room where Mia and Andrew were.

Andrew's POV
"That's a new one." I say as Dianne comes down the steps in a black Metallica shirt which came down to mid thigh, her hair up in a messy bun. "That's the one he let me wear." she says and blushes, I nod and sip my tea. "Of course it is, what else." I say which leads her to rolling her eyes to the back of her head. "It is, now can I please have a cup of tea?" "Sure."

"Morning mum, morning dad." We both chorus as Mark and Rina come down the steps around an hour later, both in their dressing gowns. "Morning children, how was your sleep?" "Not as good as the night before but alright." Dianne says which makes me giggle. "That sounds about right." "Shut up."
