Alright, ya'll! This was prompted by 'GUEST'! Hope y'all like it!
"…And that's how I lost and Mara won." Amber finished her point of view of the school rep election.
"That's very interesting, Amber." Mrs. Lewis commented.
"Did I ever tell you about the time Alfie had tried to win me over?" the blonde asks.
"I'm afraid we don't have time for that, Miss Millington." Mr. Lewis explained and stood up.
"But you just got here twenty minutes ago." Alfie protested.
"Twenty minutes too long." his father mumbled in return.
Amber frowned and her head hung and her shoulders slumped in defeat. She knew this was going to happen. His parents never liked her.
"Goodnight, Alfred." his father nodded and waited while is wife kiss her son on the cheek.
"Mum, dad!" Alfie yelled as they neared the door. He was always being pushed around by his father. Not this time, he thought.
"Alfie it's fine," Amber whispered. "Mick's parents didn't like me. It's just how it works.
"No, Ambs." Alfie looked over his shoulder into her teary grey eyes.
His parents looked at him wide eyed, still surprised he had shouted in a fancy restaurant. "I don't care what you think, dad." Alfie stated. He could feel the other customers' eyes on them but kept talking as if they were alone. "Amber is a fantastic girl. She's pretty, she's funny and she's smart! She's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm not going to let you mess this up. You can say she's not perfect, but in my eyes she is."
When he finished he was breathing heavily and his eyes held fear though his face was hard with determination.
"Aw, thank you, boo." Amber cooed, kissing his cheek and rests her head on his shoulder, hugging his arm.
Some of the people in the room awed and some clapped and whistled, congratulating him on standing up for his girl.
"Oh, Alfred." his mother came over and hugged him and Amber. "I'm so sorry, both of you." she turns to Amber and smiles. "I think you're a wonderful girl."
"Thank you, Mrs. Lewis." Amber grinned.
The three turned and stared at Alfie's father, eyebrows raised expectedly. He seemed uncomfortable with the situation and the stares. He took a deep breath and walked up to them.
"I apologize, Amber." he says. "I was rude and I shouldn't have said what I said."
She watched him for a second when he stuck his hand out for a shake. She ignored it and flung her arms around his neck. He hugged her back awkwardly and she pulled back quickly.
"Sorry, I'm a hugger." she smiled sheepishly.
Mr. Lewis cleared his throat, straightened his grey blazer and lifted his elbow to his wife. "Shall we go, darling?"
"Goodnight, Alfie." she emphasized his name and hugger her son and his girlfriend. "Goodnight, Amber." she took her husband's arm and they strolled out of the building.
Once they were out of sight Alfie blew out a breath he didn't know he had been holding.
"Thank you, Alfie." Amber said softly, hugging him.
He sighs and embraces her back.
She pulls back and kisses him. She breaks the kiss and smiles at him.
His eyes grow wide and a grin creeps onto his face. He doesn't say anything and seconds later he falls out of her arms and onto the floor unconscious.
She stares at him for a moment before shrugging and sitting down to eat.

Shout for joy to the Lord , all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.Psalm 100:1-5
