I Choose You

Prologue

"Allison, are you coming to Lance's birthday party?" Amber asked enthusiastically. "I'm not sure," Allison admitted getting her books from her locker. Amber looked at her best friend puzzled. "You knew this party would take place a month back. Did you even ask your dad?" Amber folded her arms displeased. Alisson looked at her friend with few words to say. "What?" Allison asked puzzled about Amber's reaction.

"Allison," Amber took a deep breath. "You did not ask him," she said seeing the truth in her friend's eyes. "You know that my dad is really strict when it comes to parties," Allison reminded her. Amber shook her head. "Aillson, you are seventeen. In a few months, you will be eighteen and off to college. When are you going to go out and live a little?" Amber said frustrated. "I want to live and see another day," Allison joked. "And it's not only my dad influencing my decisions.  I have standards and those parties are not the best examples," she reminded her. "But we would be together making no compromise," Amber reminded her still disappointed that her best friend would not be there. 

"Please tell me that you will try and talk to your father," Amber suggested. "I will try," Allison said. "I really want you there with me," Amber continued. "Why Amber? I don't hang out, I'm an introvert and prefer to be by myself," Allison reminded her. " You are my best friend and I need you in my corner," Amber explained. Allison sighed and hope Amber would drop her obsession with the party. 

"Okay, I will drop it for now," Amber said sensing Allison was not fully on board with the party. "Thank you," Allison said giving Amber a hug. "You preacher kids are strange," Amber teased. "Stop with the generalizations," Allison informed her as they headed to class. Amber giggled as they sat down in Math class. "But I love you PK," Amber teased.

Benjamin sat at the back of the class and watched Allison Sinclair closely.  He noticed her from a distance admiring what he saw. Allison kept it simple yet was extremely beautiful and breathtaking in every possible way. She kept her long black hair always in one most of the time and wore lip gloss still managing to look simply irresistible. However, she was always glowing with an inner beauty that radiate from her. Her brown eyes, pretty smile, gorgeous dimples and glow made her shine brighter than she realized. Allison was a very pretty girl and did not have to work hard to show it. Benjamin never thought he would be so attracted to the preacher's daughter. Perhaps, it was because she was off limits, rare or unique. Everything about her pulled him in and he was enamored by her beauty. Would she even consider giving me a chance? he thought.
