"Can I have this dance?"

You were at your best friend's wedding reception, and you were still slightly shaking from the speech you had just given. Your family and friends were on the dance floor, leaving you to sit at a table with a few people you didn't know all that well.

Your eyes couldn't stay off of a tall guy across the room. He sat with eight other guys along with their dates, laughing with them until most of them went to dance with their significant others. His hair was spiked lazily, but somehow worked on him.

He was the tallest of his group, a mere few inches taller than someone you recognized as a guy named Callum. You blushed as he caught you admiring, shooting you a light smile.

Looking away, you grabbed your phone. A few minutes later you noticed someone sitting next to you. "Hey, I'm Simon." You smiled lightly, looking towards the group of guys he had just been with.

"I'm Y/N" You introduced, a conversation starting with him. The words just seemed to flow and the subjects continued to play out smoothly.

As an Ed Sheeran song began to play over the speakers, Simon looked over at his table. Looking back at you after, and stood up. He held out his hand, smiling lightly. "Can I have this dance?"

You smiled, grabbing his hand and standing before following him to the dance floor. You slowly but surely made your way to where his friends were dancing too.

You got introduced later that night, quickly clicking with a girl named Sarah and becoming fast friends with two guys named Josh and Ethan. You felt comfortable with these guys, and you could tell that this would lead somewhere.
