Author's note: Hello! This is my first published one shot in here. I'm a writer in my free time, and I finally decided to publish here. I hope you like it. Also, English is my third language, sorry for any mistakes.
A simple Thursday night changed my life, making it turn upside-down when I least expected it. I don't know if it was the hour, the weather or the music in the background when everything happened, but my life shifted completely.
I was out with some friends when I felt a pair of eyes on me that followed my every move and conversation that I was having. They felt extremely close but far enough that I wouldn't catch them every time I turned around. Shivers were continuously running down my spine but they weren't unpleasant. I didn't know who was watching me until one time I caught a pair of dark brown eyes shining brightly under the coloured lights of the venue. I forced my eyes to focus on the face that those eyes adorned, noticing a pair of full lips that hid a beautiful smile that shone bright when I caught him staring at me.
I turned around with a soft smile on my face and a faint blush covering my cheeks, continuing my conversation with my friends. I danced through a few songs, still feeling his eyes on me, but I tried not to turn and look at him. That was until one of my friends noticed something was making me nervous and a smile was permanently on my face. She looked around and found the eyes that were looking at me.
"You know that you have an admirer?" my friend asked with a teasing smirk.
"Yeah," I answered with a shy smile. "He's quite attractive."
"You should go and say something to him," she added as she made me turn around, making me look at him directly.
I looked back and saw how my friend encouraged me, so I continued walking until I reached the bar where he was standing. I stood a few meters apart from him, calling the bartender to grab another drink, and I caught his eyes a few times. I smiled at him as I grabbed my drink, rummaging through my bag to grab my phone to pay but I stopped when I saw a hand holding a card and paying for my drink.
With my eyes, I followed the hand up and I found that beautiful pair of dark brown eyes that were observing me before. I smiled at him and I extended my hand to greet him, but he surprised me when he grabbed it and left a soft kiss on the back, a soft blush dusting over my cheeks.
"Thanks," I said with a soft smile. "My name is Y/N."
"Carlos," he said with a Spanish accent. "It's nothing," he added with a bright smile.
"I think that I caught you staring at me a few times," I said, moving closer so he could hear me over the music.
"Yeah," he said with confidence. "You looked beautiful, but I can say that you're more beautiful up close," he added, leaning to whisper it in my ear, making me blush a deep shade of red that wasn't visible under the coloured lights.
I locked eyes with him and I saw a bit of mischief in them. In that moment, I felt his arm sneak around my waist, pulling me closer and making me gasp in surprise, and I ended up resting my hand on his chest, feeling the beat of his heart and making me smile.
"Care to dance?" he asked with a soft smirk.
I couldn't utter a word and I just nodded, letting him lead me to the centre of the dance floor. He grabbed my hand and made me twirl, putting me against his chest and hugging my waist, moving our bodies to the rhythm of the music.
"Are you having fun?" he whispered when he leaned his face against my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
"Yeah," I said moving my head a little, realising that we were closer than I expected.
After a few songs, we moved to the bar again and I saw my friend approaching us. She told me that they were going home and asked me if I wanted to go with them. When I said no, Carlos assured her that he would take me home safely, making my friend relax, and we said our goodbyes.
"You don't have to do that," I said to him with a smile.
"I know but I want to," he responded, his answer making me lock eyes with him.
"Want to dance again?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand, pulling him closer to me.
He nodded with a soft smile, letting me drag him back to the dance floor. I let go of his hand and I twirled, shaking my hair with my hands. I ended up facing him and I put my arms around his neck, moving my hips to the rhythm of the music. He smiled, looking down at me and grabbing my hips, dancing with me and changing the rhythm when the music changed to a slow song. When the song finished, he moved closer until he rested his forehead on my shoulder.
"Want to get out of here?" he whispered in my ear, making a shiver run down my spine.
"Yes, but only if you take me home," I whispered back as I put one hand on his chest and the other went to touch his soft hair.
He pulled away and grabbed my hand, guiding me to the backdoor where he had his car parked. The ride to my apartment was engulfed in a comfortable silence, with stolen glances and his hand resting on my thigh while he drove. After a while, he stopped the car in front of my apartment complex and I turned to look at him.
"Thank you for bringing me home, Carlos," I said softly with a smile that he mirrored.
"It's nothing, Y/N," he said as I grabbed the door handle to get out of his car, when he suddenly grabbed my wrist, making me stop in my tracks. "Wait."
"Wha-" he stopped me mid-sentence with a soft kiss, that I immediately followed, sighing against his mouth.
We pulled apart, me blushing and him smirking, and tried to catch our breaths. I let out a nervous giggle and I moved slightly forward, resting my head on his shoulder while he put one hand on my back.
"That was incredible," I said, still out of breath and with a smile lingering on my face.
"Yeah," he said as he moved his head slightly to kiss the side of my head. "I want to see you again on a more relaxed place," he blurted out after a moment of silence.
"Are you asking me on a date?" I asked teasingly as I straightened my posture.
"Maybe..." he said, blushing a bit. "Only if you want to," he added, looking at me with hopeful eyes.
"Then it's a date," I said with a smile. "Here's my number," I added as I put a business card on his hand.
"I'll call you tomorrow," he said as I opened the door of his car.
"I hope so," I responded with a smile as I got out of his car. "Thanks again, Carlos. And good night," I said before I closed the door of his car.
"Good night Y/N," he said from his car after he rolled his window down.
I walked towards the entrance of the complex and I turned around before I entered, seeing that he was waiting for me to get inside and waved at me before starting his car and disappearing into the night.
That was a year ago, the night I met Carlos Sainz and he entered into my life, putting it upside down. I wouldn't change anything that happened during this year, not when I get to wake up with his arm around my waist after a date night.
That's our current situation, where I'm feeling his breath against the back of my neck before I turn in his embrace to face him. I use this peaceful moment to count his freckles, thing that I do at every occasion I have, before he wakes up.
"Good morning, princesa," he says suddenly, his voice laced with sleep.
"Good morning, love," I say as I nuzzle against his chest, leaving a kiss there at the same time he kisses my temple.
"Do you want pancakes for breakfast?" he asks with a smile as he starts caressing my hips.
"Yes, please," I answer, looking up with a pout that he kisses before pulling away from me to get up, leaving me laying on the bed as I observe how he puts on some shorts before going to the kitchen.
I let out a soft sigh, feeling content and relaxed, before I get up and follow him, not before grabbing his shirt from the night before and my panties. I sit down on the kitchen bar, seeing him move around the kitchen, humming softly and throwing a wink when he sees me. I smile at him, feeling lucky to have him in my life.
