Summary:
Noelle and Dash have been Easton's royal couple ever since they got there. Everyone knows it. Noelle and Dash have known each other forever. They've also known each other's secrets forever. Look back at their fairytale past as they begin to prepare for the future…
"Now, one more time, Noelle," Claire commanded, "what are we doing at lunch today?"
"Meeting your best friends and having fun. I have to be nice to their son even if he's icky." Noelle replied with an impatient eye roll. Although Noelle was only five years old, she had already started to develop the "Lange" air about her. Claire, her mom, had already put her in a royal blue dress with cap sleeves against her will, and now she placed a black velvet headband on her deep brown curls.
"That's right." Claire grinned, satisfied. She gave Noelle a little pat on the head.
"Noelle, this is the McCaffertys' and their son Dash," her father, Wallace, announced. Dash was wearing a yellow polo shirt and khaki pants. His blond hair had been neatly combed back away from his face. Dash stared at Noelle. She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Then he realized that he was staring and looked down at his shoes, blushing.
Noelle saw him staring and looked down, blushing too. He's pretty cute, her five-year old mind thought.
Dash raised his head. "Hello. I'm Dash McCaffewry." He stuck out a hand. "You're really prwetty."
Noelle shook his hand. "I know. That's what everyone says." Her parents laughed at this comment. "But thanks," she continued. And, although she would never admit it, she found his lisp endearing.
Dash's mom nudged him. Dash now remembered about the present. One of his hands came out from behind his back and in it was a Tiffany box.
"This is for you." Dash handed the box over.
Noelle sat down and neatly undid the white ribbon. She opened the box and pulled out a beautiful sapphire and diamond ring. Noelle placed it on her finger. "Wow, it's so pretty!" she said graciously and smiled. She walked over to Dash and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much!"
Dash grinned, his manly instincts telling him he had given her the right present. He placed his hand over his left cheek, right on the spot where Noelle had kissed him.
With his hand still on his cheek, he ran over to his dad and motioned for him to come close. "I'm never washing this cheek again!" he whispered in his dad's ear.
Author's Note: Sorry the first chapter is so short. More to come on the way! I was inspired to write after reading Paradise Lost. Noelle and Dash are just so cute together! Title is from the song "All Again for You" by We the Kings. I think it's a perfect description of what Dash feels in Paradise Lost. Please R&R!
