You stood next to your best friend, tears stinging in your eyes. She looked gorgeous in her white wedding dress, her hair styled in a perfect manner. Her now newly wedded husband looked very handsome in his suit, his broad shoulders and muscular arms emphasized by the jacket. Behind him was the best man, a tall dark haired man from around your age. He smiled brightly at his friend and you suppressed a chuckle. He looked cute. The rings were placed on the couples fingers and with smiles reaching from one ear to the other they walked out of the church. You walked beside the best man.
"Did you catch the bouquet?" He asked you with a smirk on his face and you softly laughed.
"She forgot to take it from me, so no. Besides, it would be sad if I would be the first one to marry anyone. Of all our friends who are here, I am the only one without a relationship and one is already engaged, so that would be a little weird." He chuckled and smoothly checked you out, without you noticing. You looked absolutely stunning in the light blue dress and your curled hair, how could someone like you not have a boyfriend. You got into the car your best friend had arranged for you and the best man. "My name is y/n by the way." You smiled at him, showing your pearly white teeth.
"Esteban." He got behind the wheel and you tried not to get creases your dress. You fastened your seatbelt and waited for Esteban to start the engine of the Volvo. You drove to the location of the reception that was beautifully decorated. Esteban walked around the car and opened the door for you. He extended his hand and with a smile you took it. Your arm hooked into Esteban's you walked into the venue and y/b/f had a smirk on her face and whispered something into her husband's ear.
"I didn't even have to throw the bouquet." He looked at her and shook his head. She was a born matchmaker and unfortunately for you, you were always her subject to pair up with a male.
"Do you want something to drink?" Esteban asked you and you nodded.
"Some apple juice please." He nodded and walked away and you found your way to the couple the day was all about.
"Congratulations weirdo!" You said and hugged your best friend. "I can't believe you are married now!" She laughed.
"Half a year ago you said the same thing, but it was instead of married engaged." You chuckled and gave her husband a hug.
"The threat is still standing. If you hurt her, you're dead, whether she will be a widow or not." Y/b/f laughed and placed an arm around you.
"You caught the bouquet nicely." She said and you furrowed your eyebrows before realised what she did.
"Please don't say you..." Before you could finish your sentence Esteban was standing next to you and handed you your glass of apple juice. "Thank you." Y/b/f had a smirk and you warned her by looking at her, but she only shrugged her shoulders. "Shouldn't the two of you start the first dance?" You ask her nodding towards the dance floor. Y/b/f and her husband walked to the middle of it and as soon as the music started playing they started dancing. You watched with a smile on your face until Esteban spoke up.
"Why don't you give me those flowers?" Esteban gently took the bouquet from you and placed them on a table. The song stopped and people clapped. The next song started playing and Esteban extended his hand towards you once again. "Can I have this dance?" He asked and you slightly blushed as you took his hand, smiling. You walked to the dancefloor and placed your hands on Esteban's shoulders and he placed his hands on your hips. You looked into his dark brown eyes and your heart beat faster, even skipped a beat.
He felt his heart rate increase too, taking in every detail of your face, the dimples in your cheeks, the way your e/c eyes sparkled and showed your emotions. He felt drawn to you, intrigued by how your lips looked and curious to how your lips would feel against his. He forgot about his common sense and gently pressed his lips against yours, but you immediately backed away, shocked, caught off guard and somewhat scared. He immediately regretted his action, he had been too impulsive once again.
"I am sorry." He stammered, but you just backed off even further before turning around and walking away. You walked to the restrooms and let the cold from the tap water stream over her hands. What had just happened? He had kissed you, that much was clear to you, but how did you feel about it?

The reception was coming to an end and much to your surprise you had been able to avoid Esteban ever since the kiss and also the questions from y/b/f you had been able to talk yourself out of. You gave y/b/f a kiss on her cheek.
"I expect a full report in a week." You told her with a smile.
"That I'll be able to do." You gave her a final hug and then started to make your way to your car, but just in time, you realised it was still at the church and you needed a ride. The walk to the church was too long for you on those heels.
"Do you need a ride back towards the church?" Your lucky streak of avoiding Esteban was over as he was standing next to you. "Please, we need to talk." You nodded. The whole wedding reception you had been thinking about the kiss. You wanted to stay away from him as far as possible, but on the other hand, you longed for his lips on yours. You got into the Volvo again and when the both of you had fastened your seatbelts it was silent. "I'm," He started, but you cut him off.
"Let me first," You said, closing your eyes to find the courage to tell him how you felt. "To be honest, I have no idea what I think of what happened." You looked at him and he looked back. "One part of me doesn't want it to ever happen again." Esteban looked away, he felt like you just hit him square in the face, you unfasted your seatbelt again and turned your entire body to him. "But a bigger part of me wants this." You cupped his face with your hands and pressed your lips against his, being less gentle then he had been. His eyes widened at the first contact, but soon he kissed you back, his fingers going through your curls. You parted your lips slightly to let him deepen the kiss. You forgot all about the world around you until your so-called best friend had to knock on the window of the car, a huge smirk on her face.
"I told you!" She screamed and did some sort of happy dance. Esteban looked at you with a confused look on his face.
"Remember how you asked whether I had caught the flowers?" Esteban nodded. "She didn't forget them, she deliberately didn't take them back. She played matchmaker once again." Esteban laughed and raised his thumb towards y/b/f and you blew her a kiss. She walked away and Esteban started the car.
"We could also just forget about your car?" He asked and you chuckled.
"We could." He grinned and instead of turning left he turned right, in the direction of his house.
Okay, so I really start to like Esteban so I decided to write a one shot about him.
REQUESTS ARE STILL OPEN!!!
