Kiss thy Queen (Nochelle)

T H I R T E E N

Richelle's POV

Noah, & I, had been dating three weeks, & they had been the best three weeks of my life.

We'd been on four dates since I had been home from the Intensive, & Noah had come over for dinner at my place, the past three Friday nights. It was great getting to spend time with him, & reconnect. Even my mum & Abbey loved having him around at our place.

Dancing was amazing at the moment too! I had been placed in the front row for the ten person dance, along with Amy & Noah. I had also been asked to be the female soloist for Nationals, which was another absolute honour!

I had the love of my life, dance was great, Ozzy & I were getting along, & I was great heath-wise. I couldn't be happier!

"Hey, Richelle!" Summer & Piper greeted, as I walked into Studio A.

"Hey, you two!" I replied, sitting down on the ground beside them. I took my sneakers & socks off, then started stretching & warming up with them, while Piper talked about one of the lifts in the group number.

Suddenly, I felt a weight on my head, & everything went black.

"Guess who?!" a very familiar voice said. I laughed slightly, immediately knowing it was, Noah.

"Oooh! Is it that really hot guy that works at Shakes & Ladders?" I joked, earning a shocked gasp from the dark-haired boy behind me.

"How dare you?!" he replied, shifting his hands from my eyes, so he could tickle my sides.

"No-no.. NOAH! A-s-Stop!!" I managed to say, in between my laughter. I smacked his leg lightly, as he sat on the ground beside me; & I immediately received a frown from him.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously, & Noah just shook his head.

"You don't really think the guy that works at Shakes & Ladders is cute, do you?" he asked, a serious tone to his voice. I let out a chuckle at the face he was pulling, & shook my head.

"Noah, you're the only person I find attractive!" I reassured him, as I leant over, placing a quick on his lips. I pulled away, but he leant forwards, connecting our lips for a second time. The second kiss lasted longer than the first one, & it felt so much more... special??

I smiled into the kiss, placing my hand on the back of his head. That's when I heard the quiet giggling & whispering.

We pulled apart, turning our heads towards the noise, & found that all of A-Troupe were looking at us, with big grins.

"Oh, don't mind us, love-birds!" Henry said with a wink. I immediately stood up from my spot, & ordered for everyone to get into position for the ten person dance.

"Actually Richie, we're doing small group & solo rehearsals first. By the way, you're not Dance Captain!" Noah Joked, standing beside me, as he placed a soft kiss on my cheek. I blushed a furious shade of red, as everyone on A-Troupe began laughing at us.

"Noah, Richelle? We need to see you in the office quickly!" Michelle called out to us, waving us in with her hand.

I gulped slightly, wondering if it had to do with our little 'makeout' session before.

"Oh good, you're here!" Emily said, putting her cup of tea down. She looked pretty stressed, & flustered; so maybe it had nothing to do with Noah & I.

"We need you to audition A-Troupe to be your under-studies for the solo division." Emily blurted out, keeping her gaze steadily focused on the two of us.
