One in a million

His pov:

I'm desperately trying to contain the overwhelming beat of my heart as we get home,

I truly thought y/n wouldn't want my presence near her, especially after this marriage was thrown at her by her parent's wishes,

But she did want to get to know me...she wanted me to try while I did the opposite

"I wanna dance...I wanted to at the event but there were too many people" she admits quietly, as we walk toward the kitchen,

I hide my smile as I slowly nod in response, her eyes are hopeful and bright as she watches me

That cute and shy smile as I grab my phone and turn on music, makes me realize I'm going to have a very difficult saying no to anything she desires and asks of me.

"Then let's dance" I grin putting my hands around her waist and pulling her close,

Her cheeks, tint a beautiful shade of pink, and she places her hands on my shoulders, and slides them behind my neck,

Pink...that shade of pink on her cheeks is my favorite color now, and I want to do anything possible to keep it on her cheeks for just a moment longer

We slowly start swaying to the music, her soft hums against my chest bring a smile to my lips,

After the first song ends and a new one begins, y/n murmurs against my chest "what's your favorite thing to do? When you're not working? A hobby I guess you could call it"

She lifts her head to meet my gaze, one filled with confusion as I think back to the last time I did something for myself other than work,

This moment...right here, my arms around this beautiful girl is the first thing I've done that I've enjoyed other than the job I have,

"I'm not sure...I used to love walking around museums but that was a while ago ...I haven't had my focus on anything for these last couple of years other than work" I shrug as I clear my throat

I realize just how much work has overcome and swallowed my life up whole...and it fills me with immense guilt of all I've missed out on with family and now y/n.

Y/n frowns as she watches me, it's cute that her lips turn into a frown, it makes me want to bend down and kiss it off her face,

"We should go to a museum then...we can do stuff and make time for one another now and then, and that way, best case scenario we end up falling in love and this marriage becomes a real one, or worst case we don't have chemistry and end up being friends or something" she shrugs as she rambles, unknowing to my heated gaze on her beautiful face,

God, she's so kind-hearted, the way she selflessly just thinks of my wants and needs before her own,

I dip her slowly as the song picks up, and her face glows in a big smile, one that has my heart speeding up and stumbling on its beats,

she tightens her hands around my neck,

I'll always catch you.

"Whatever you want" I murmur against her forehead as I bring her back up, and brushing our bodies flush against each other,

She takes in a sharp breath and another blush covers her face, she's quick to look down at the floor as her cheeks darken,

And as much as I want to tease and push until she's panting against my mouth after I've gotten my lips on hers, I don't want to push,

So I continue to sway us into the next song, and when that one ends she looks up and clears her throat "I'm going to make a homemade pizza...I didn't eat anything there because it was too overwhelming for me, you want some?" She asks

"I'll help you" I smile as I let my hand graze her cheek, just before grabbing an apron and watching her smile at the wall thinking I'm still gone.
