Dianne's POV
Joe and I worked together all day. He's hot. No stop Dianne, he probably has a girlfriend, look at him. It was a fairly quiet day. While we were clearing the tables Joe said "Um, Dianne would you like to come over to mine later for a couple drinks?" "That sounds lovely." I replied smiling. He looked relieved.

Joe's POV
We arrived outside my house, having made pleasant conversation the whole way. I unlocked the front door and saw a note on the hall table. It was from my parents and Zoe. They were going to be out till late. "My parents and my sister are going to be out late." I told Dianne. "Ok." She said. I led her up to my room.
I sat down on the bed at patted the spot next to me, gesturing for her to sit. "Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked. "Ok, sure." She replied. I handed her the remote so that she could pick a movie. I then realised I hadn't checked my levels since this morning. I looked at Dianne, wondering how she'd react if I did it there. I didn't want to keep it a secret. I decided to just go for it and hope for the best. I opened the drawer of my bedside table and took out the small black pouch which contained my pricker, the test strips, my reader, a glucose shot and a scanner for when I'm using a sensor. I glanced over at Dianne, she was still looking at the TV, I took the pricker and pricked the skin on my finger. She jumped slightly at the loud click it made. She turned around to see what it was. I closed my eyes and waited for her to freak out but surprisingly she stayed calm. I breathed out. I looked at her confused. "Are you not weirded out?" I asked. "Of course not, why would I be?"
"Usually people get a bit weird when I check myself in front of them." I said. "Well that's stupid. It's not your fault." She said smiling at me. 
"Thanks." I said, opening an alcohol wipe and wiping away the first drip of blood. I then wiped the next one on a test strip which I put into the reader. 12. I sighed. I looked back at Dianne. She was looking at me. "Sorry." She said looking away. "Its ok." I said laughing. She continued watching what I was doing. I lifted up my top and unhooked my pump from my belt. I put in my levels and it gave me the insulin. I attached it back onto my belt. I went and sat back next to Dianne. She had put on IT. We leaned back against the headboard and watched the movie in silence. I noticed that every time there was a scary part Dianne would inch ever so slightly closer. It was cute. About half way through I paused the movie. "You hungry?" I asked. "Yeah, kind of." She nodded. I got up and went downstairs to get some snacks and drinks. I brought back up a bowl of popcorn, a bottle of red wine and a bottle of vodka. I handed the bowl to Dianne and poured two glasses of wine, I set the vodka on the ground for later. I had a plan.
