His innocent obsession

Chapter 1

Every girl when they are little, will watch one of the many Disney princess movies and wonder when their Prince Charming will show up.  They pretend to be that princess, and imagine their prince will be loved by all.  He'll be kind and caring.  He'll come swooping in to save her from the mean witch, and sweep her off her feet.  Not realizing that even as they get older these are the expectation.  And many of them will get exactly what the wished for.  Some have to wait a little longer than others, but they always hold on to that hope.  That is what every little girl does.  Unless the little girl in question was me.

I learned early in life that there was nobody coming for me.  When the rest of the girls in class received cute little valentines day cards my little shoe box had only one card and it was a generic one that the teacher put into everyone's shoe box. 

As I got older and moved into middle school not much had changed.  Guys would show interest but would quickly change their mind once they realized how quiet I was.  I was never like the other girls.  I didn't hang out, or go to parties.  And even in high school I was no different.   So I kept to myself, focused on my studies and prepared for college. 

Not to say that I'm not pretty enough to catch somones eye.  My older sister showed me how to do my hair and makeup when I was 13.  It was something we had in common.  Learning all the new hair and makeup tricks and trends.    Not that she needs any of it.  She's beautiful with her long dark hair and Walnut shaped eyes.  We could almost be twins as far as our looks go.  But even without hair and makeup her charming personality is enough to attract any guy around.  It's how she met her fiance.  A successful lawyer, and political hopeful.  My sister is also a lawyer, together they are the next big power couple.  They are everything I'm not, and never really wanted to be. 

I don't like that kind of attention.  I don't want anyone knowing my name.  Unfortunately after their wedding in two weeks everyone will know my name. 

I begged her not to choose me as her Maid of Honor.  She has plenty of friends that would've relished being in the position.  But no, I'm her BFFL so it has to be me.  I love her to death, but I could strangle her.  Especially right now as I get ready for the rehearsal.  The dress she bought for me is beautiful.  It's nude colored satin with crystals covering the bust.  But its strapless, and doesnt' even reach my knees.  I feel naked. 

Having long hair that reaches just below my shoulder blades, I leave it down with big curls to use lik a curtain to try and cover myself up. 

I'm touching up my lip gloss as celeste walks into the room.

"Oh my, Abby! You look stunning!"  She clasps her hands and holds them over her heart.  I turn  narrowing my eyes at her.

"Oh shut up."  She laughs at my discomfort  but wraps me in a hug from behind me to try and ease my nerves.

"Come on, John and his cousin slash body guard are down stairs waiting on us."  I quirk a brow looking back at her as I walk.

"Body guard? For what?"  She swats my arm with the top of her hand.

"Be nice.  And its because he's a high profile lawyer that has put alot of assholes in jail.  Now that his face is out there even more with his campaign he's had a few threats.  So in order to keep us all safe, he hired his cousin to be his head of security and body guard."  I raise my brows as I nod, taking the stairs  a little slower then usual due to the 4 inch heals she making me wear.

"There they are!"  Johns voice echo's through the foyer.  "The two most beautiful women in my life!  Abby that dress is stunning."  Only a few steps from the bottom I freeze when I look up and see, not John, but a tall dark haired and handsome stranger. His dark brown eyes are glued to me. They seem to judge me and my dress. His eyes meet mine finally, but give nothing away.
