Joanne one shots!

Layla Faith 👨‍👧💗

(Dianne)
Me and Joe were going on our second date tonight, we met through friends and seemed to hit it off quite well. Tonight Joe is taking me to a nice restaurant on the suburbs of London.

I haven't really had a relationship since I got cheated on four years ago, right after I had a miscarriage. It was safe to say I was broken. But now after four agonizing years I've finally regained my trust, and here I am going on my second date with Mr Joseph Sugg.

After I get changed I sit at my vanity and Curl my hair. When I'm happy with it I spray it with hair spray, put some perfume on and order a Uber.

When I get to the Italian restaurant I see Joe already sat down by the window. I thank the Uber driver and get out of the car heading over to Joe.

"Hey" I smile as I pull the chair opposite him out. He looks and flashes me his cheeky smile.

"Hi, are you okay?"

"I'm very good, how are you?"

The conversation flows nicely throughout dinner, I think I'm slowly falling for him. He's very handsome, cheeky and makes me laugh.

The waiter comes over with the bill and Joe demands he's paying. "I'm putting my foot down-" I laugh "-Im paying for food" I'm giggling so much by this point, he pays the bill before I can even object.

We leave the restaurant full of spaghetti and Pizza, he's doing weird impressions which makes me laugh.

"Come and watch a film at my place?" He asks me, I smile not thinking of anything better to do.

We get into Joes car and he turns the music up loud, we both sing loudly as Joe drives down the busy London streets.

When Joe has parked the car he gets out and takes my hand leading me to the lift of what looks like a very fancy apartment building. When the lift closes Joe looks at me.

"What should we watch?" He asks.

"I don't mind, although because it's nearly Chri-"

"It's not nearly Christmas Dianne it's October" he laughs pulling me into a side hug. "But we can watch a Christmas film if you like" he whispers against my ear.

When the lift opens Joe interwinds our fingers again as he takes out his keys and opens the door.

"Welcome to my humble abode"

"What's abode?" We laugh "it basically just means home" he smiles at me again as I step inside his what I would call penthouse, it was gorgeous. It had glass stairs with yellow lights in the glass, everything in the kitchen was marble or a grey styled wood. I was in complete awe.

"What Christmas film Di?" He snaps me out of my day dream.

"Hmmm what ones have you have?" He gestures towards the cabinet under the projector. I get down on my knees and look at the big selection of films.

"Home alone?" I say turning around soon to realize joe isn't actually there. I was confused for a second before I heard a patter down the stairs.

"Sorry I got changed, I brought you one of my jumpers and shorts so you can be a bit more comfy" I smile gratefully as he shows me where the toilet is.

When I'm getting changed I inhale the scent of Joes jumper, I place it over my head before going back to Joes living room I see him sat with a bowl of popcorn and home alone on pause ready for it to start. I plonk myself down next to him and he presses play.

Half way through the film Joes phone rings he shoots me a apologetic look before running up the stairs to answer.

(Joe)

My phone rings at 8:30 meaning it's probably Layla calling to say goodnight.

"Hi poppet, are you okay?"

"Daddy I goin tu seep now" I hear my daughter day on the other side of the phone.

"Okay sausage have a good sleep I will see you tomorrow, okay?"

"Otay daddy, I luv you"

"I love you too Layla Faith"

I head back downstairs after the phone call Dianne is too engrossed in the film to notice until the sofa dips and she realizes I'm sat there.

"Everything okay?" She asks me. I shake my head and pause the film.

"There's something I'd like to tell you" she nods taking my hand as she sees me become more nervous.

"I- urm Three years ago, something changed my life for the better, well I say the better but not really at first. Three years ago my daughter Layla Faith Williams was born." I look to see her expression and she looks very excited but shocked at the same time.

"She is my world and more. My pride and joy. Layla Faith owns my heart. She's the most cutest little person I've ever met, she's at my mum's tonight, she was ringing to say goodnight. I just wanted to tell you and I'm so surprised that you haven't ran away, because every time I feel comfortable enough in a relationship to tell them about Layla they get scared shitless and don't want anything to do with me." She raises her hand and puts it on my cheek stroking it lightly before leaning in and kissing me. I kiss back and butterflies exploded in my stomach.

"If one day I'm lucky enough to have you Joseph Sugg, I will except Layla too. I'm not at all put off by you having a child. It's quite exciting really" she smiles.

"Stay the night?" I ask after we pull back from another kiss.

"I'd love too" she smiles.
