Practically Smitten (A Ed Sheeran Fanfiction)

Practically Smitten (Prologue)

Author's Note: CUTEST IDEA EVER. Just wanted to share it with you guys, whether it turns out good or not is a different story.

MELANIE'S POV:

"Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!" my daughter was tugging on my pants as I led her to her room. "I wanna know how you and daddy met! You said you tell me when I turned 7! And it's my seventh birthday!"

"I know, Noël, maybe tomorrow. But right now, it's sleep time." I told her, stroking her long red hair.

As I helped her up into bed, I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. "Love, it's not a good example to break a promise." My husband reasoned.

It's true. Noël has been looking forward to her seventh birthday just to hear how we met after her teacher talked about love and marriage. She got off the bus crying because she had heard so many stories from her classmates about their parents fighting and their divorces. So Ed and I had to reassure that we love each other and we would never leave her alone.

"Daddy says it's okay." Noël pleaded.

Ed looked at me as if he wanted to hear it too. As if he didn't live it. I shook my head, giving in to their begging.

"It all started when I tweeted him..." I started, Ed's and Noël's pleased grin spread across their faces.

"Wait, what's a 'tweet'?" Noël threw in before I continued.

I thought of how to explain it. "Noël, it's like a. . . Text. But on the computer."

"Oh." She said, letting it sit in her mind. Ed chuckled as he pulled Noël into his lap.

"So I tweeted him and asked him to talk to him because he was very very very famous when we were younger." I continued. "And he didn't know me. I didn't even live in his country. Isn't that right, Ed?" I smiled at him, hoping he would help tell the story.

"Yessir. Noël, your mummy was weird one. She tweeted me everyday. She didn't know it but I read every single one and once I talked to her. And that's when it all happened." Ed continued in a hushed tone. You could see my little Noël was slowly feel her exhaustion creep up onto her.

"And I was so happy because I loved him." I smiled at him, showing that I still do.

By then our Noël was fast asleep in Ed's arms and he set her down and put her comforter over her and we both left her to rest.
