It's in the little things: One-shots x2

The proposal of dreams

This one is a little different in that it will be entirely from Dianne's point of view! Let me know what you think and if you would like to see more like this!

It has been a chaotic day, jam-packed with rehearsals, scripts and costume fittings for strictly 2020 before partner training kicks off in September and if i'm honest, I can't wait to get home and spend some quality time with my Joseph- it feels like we have barely seen each other these last few weeks. It has been a real shock to the system returning to work and spending time apart after the last six months together and as daft as it sounds...I miss him now i'm out most of the day. Shuffling awkwardly through the door, bags in the way- i'm greeted by my boyfriend, waiting like a loyal puppy almost, taking my bags off me and pulling me into his arms, " How was work me love? I bet you're feeling it now, being back at dance like this after the unintentional break?" he mutters, running his hands over my back, rubbing my hips lightly, knowing that they are the first thing to ache after a long day. I let his words hang in the air, choosing to nuzzle into his hold instead before replying, "Yeah, i'm quite achy now to be honest and I missed you. I tripped over Neil which didn't help either. Did you get up to anything exciting?" Glancing up at him, I find myself lost in those ocean blue eyes, falling slowly as our lips connected in a searing kiss, hands roaming freely across our bodies and not a care in the world in this moment; "I've been wanting to do that since you left this morning Dot but I knew if I did it earlier, i'd never let you go to work. Tonight, I've promised myself, I'm going to prove just how much you mean to me, starting with the bath which is currently waiting for you...of you go my love."

Slightly shocked by the sudden declaration of love and romanticism from Joseph Sugg, I press another kiss to his cheek and disappear off to relax in the bath, which has been decorated with petals, candles and a cheeky glass of red wine; what did I do to deserve a boyfriend this amazing?! Soaking my aching muscles, I glance around, looking for my towel so I can get out and continue my evening but it seems to be the one thing we have both forgotten about. Slowly dragging myself out of the water, I shout for  Joseph, "Hey Joseph? Can you bring me a towel please? I'm getting out now and it's kinda cold!" I giggle, standing to my feet and allowing myself to drip dry while I wait. As he enters, arms extended and holding the towel out like a sheet, he keeps his eyes diverted so he isn't looking, like the gentleman he is, which means he inevitably tripped over my workout clothes which I had left lying on the floor..."Careful Joe! My god, we have been together long enough, you've seen me before you idiot! Come here you softy, i'm truly grateful for the strange little habits you have. Now, can you pass me my top now i'm decent and can we order in? I'm starving!" I mumble, pulling the plug in the bath and shrugging into the t-shirt Joe had been holding for me. Smirking to himself, he just grabs my hand and leads me out of the bathroom and towards the kitchen- he is shaking slightly and his palms are sweaty...what has this boy got planned?

"Dinner is served my lady- Mama Rina's special, red wine and candlelight for Lady Di, have a seat me love, can I get you anything else?" He smiles, his best waiter voice and a tea-towel draped over his arm for effect, "Joseph...This is just as good as mum's! Don't tell her I said that though...she'll kill me!" He just chuckles, cracking his knuckles as we sit at the breakfast bar, surrounded by fairy-lights, tealights and reminiscing the old days, our first feelings; "You know Dot, I used to be so nervous about training with you- Byron used to give me these pep talks in-between my nervous poos...and then we would get into the training room, you always started the day with a hug and boom...nerves were gone. You have this way, even from week one, that one touch just made me feel at ease with you and that hasn't changed you know? That's part of the reason I wanted to do this for you tonight." Reaching across the bar, I place one hand on his thigh and lean in, our heads touching briefly as he once again, takes my hand to lead me somewhere...
