She had asked her to marry her. They got engaged and Dianne wore her ring on her right hand, Amy on her left because in order to fool the media, she asked her best friend to help them out. So she wasn't engaged to Dianne but instead engaged to Ben./p

We can find other jobs, there are other dance programmes, other dance companies. Besides, the entire cast of Strictly already know we are together. If we don't come back, I can imagine that they won't either." Dianne had stopped crying soon after Amy had started talking. Her thick welsh accent was so comforting to her. She found it so amusing when she thought about the two of them.

When they shook hands, Dianne felt a magnetic pull to Amy. Amy had snuck in glances at Dianne after they had touched, and when the other dancers of Strictly began to enter the studio she said her Hello's and introduced herself. As did Dianne. But they kept their distance from each other. Amy still looked for Dianne, her flaming red hair, her beautiful brown eyes and contagious laughter. She had been attracted to her the moment she saw her./p

Dianne and Amy now lay facing each other. Playing with their fingers that were entwined. The next week of rehearsals, Dianne and Amy always arrived at the same time, about 15 minutes early just talking. 15 minutes soon turned to half an hour, which soon turned to an hour early./p

But Amy awoke something in her that just made her feel kay with who she was. After about 3 weeks of rehearsals, Amy asked Dianne round her house for a recap of the dance routine. Of course Dianne said yes, outwardly seeming like she was comfortable dancing alone with Amy, in her apartment. Inwardly, she was bricking it./p

I was nervous, dancing with you after finally accepting that I had a monster of a crush on you, I was trying my hardest to contain myself.." Dianne argued back laughing along. Amy rolled over so she was laying slightly on top of her Fiancee. She kissed her for a few seconds, bringing her hand up to stroke the sides of her face. Amy had gotten red wine out (her hair is red, she must like red wine?!) and a few small snacks for them to eat. She dressed up in casual clothes that she could still move in, she didn't want to seem like she wanted this to be a date. When she answered the door to Dianne she smiled so big, she thought her face might split in two. They hugged for a while and when they pulled back they looked at eachother realising how close their faces were. Dianne was the first to pull back fully and ask if she could come in, Amy said of course but didn't move completely out of the way. This way Dianne still had to brush past her slightly when walking in. She had poured her a glass of wine ('I love red wine!' which Amy had later found out was a complete lie) and they chatted about things for a while. Amy made sure to keep on touching Dianne in some way, a hand on her knee, a brush of hair out of her face or even leaning against her to show her something on her phone./p

Amy giggled at this, during the conversation they had had at her house way back when, she had found out about Dianne's past with the ladies. After the wine had loosened her tongue of course. After finishing the bottle between them, they tried to get up and practice the dance. Amy pulled Dianne close to her, hand a bit lower on her waist than necessary as she was playing the part of the man. Dianne's breath hitched when they were dancing back against front, no longer sticking to the routine but developing their own rhythm. When the music stopped, Dianne turned around hands framing Amy's face. They were closer than ever, and Amy lent in and kissed the australian dancer. Dianne kissed back wrapping her arms around the woman's neck and feeling arms wrap around her waist./p
