summary: while you love your sister’s new husband bradley, you most certainly do not love his mouth but good looking co worker
“I truly never thought I’d see me sister this happy until she met Bradley,” you were finishing off your maid of honor speech, laughing into the microphone. “They complete each other, if Sarah said she wanted to moon, Brad would do anything to get her the moon. Sarah traveled the world with him, seeing Japan, Florida, and sunny California. If anything proves true love, it’s these two. There’s no one I’d be happier to have as a brother, welcome to the family, Brad. And congratulations to you both!”
Bradley and Sarah gave you a hug, you laughed as Sarah had tears down her face. “Better take care of your wife, Bradshaw.” You teased, rubbing her back gently. You wandered over to the bar, swaying slightly as you waited in the long line.
“Beautiful speech up there,” the guy behind you spoke up. You smiled happily turning to meet his bright green eyes. He was taller than you wear, hair gelled into neat strokes. He was wearing a matching blue suit to your dress.
“Thanks! I’m Y/N, bride or groom?”
“Jake, I fly with Bradley.” He shook your hand. “What’re you drinking tonight, Y/N?”
“Strictly champagne for me! I’m on orders to make sure nobody gets plastered and ruins the wedding!”
“Well I’ll be on my best behavior. I’m a known wedding crasher.” He smirks as he orders a champagne for you.
“Ooh please share Lieutenant!” Your eyes lit up as you stared at him.
“I tend to leave a trail of broken hearts at these events. Especially military weddings.” Jake tipped the waiter and you walked towards the dance floor. You laughed at him as he explained one of his buddies weddings that he’d attended last month.
You learned all about his special name (he called it a call sign) and what had earned him that nickname. “In my defense, I’ve gotten better. That was like 10 years ago. I’ve been promoted since then too.”
“You’re something else, Jake.”
“Is that a good thing? Or should I be concerned?” He teased, leaning against the post beside you. You smiled up at him, a warm feeling covering your face.
“I’m still trying to decide myself!”
“Would a dance help you consider?” You laughed and grabbed his outstretched hand, setting down your drinks and allowing him to lead you out to the dance floor. A slow song played, one of the many Sarah and Brad had picked for their playlist.
“You know you’re not too bad of a dancer.”
“So my dancing skills are subpar, I’ve made you laugh like three times, and I’ve got a steady income, what else can a guy like me do to impress you?” He swayed you softly to the music, his hand resting on your waist gently.
“Ah the ultimate question. Real talk, Lieutenant, how often are you gone? Would you like a housewife or a spouse, and how many kids?” You quizzes him, gently brushing a strand of hair from your face.
To be honest, you hadn’t made your mind up about him yet. He was gorgeous and charming, and surprisingly nice but you almost needed to buy yourself more time to decide if you wanted him to break your heart or not.
“I go where the Navy calls, as of right now, we’re holding a permanent station out in Miramar. We haven’t been deployed for any missions besides the one but I believe that’s my new permanent base.” He raised his eye brows at you.
“That’s so convenient. I actually work in San Diego.” You informed him. He smiled at you.
“Pediatric doctor, I work in a hospital.”
“Impressive, how’d you decide to do that?”
“Helped me and Sarah through our childhood. She was sick a lot so we were in and out of hospitals. I saw what they did first hand and was just inspired. How about you? How do you wake up one day and just decide to fly a jet?”
“Well, Y/N, I’m a legacy. My dad did it, his dad before him did it and so on and so forth.” You nodded you head, watching him closely. The dimple in his cheek was showing up and he had the whitest teeth you’d ever seen.
“Staring awfully hard, darling, anything you’d like?” He teased, biting back a smirk. You rolled your eyes.
“You’re quite the charmer, Seresin.”
“Have I charmed you into a date yet?” You held up your fingers, signaling how close he was. “Ooh so close, do you need another compliment? Anymore questions I can answer?”
“One last thing: your thoughts on marriage.” You laughed lightly.
Jake looked over at Bradley and Sarah laughing and dancing with each other. “I think once you find your person, there’s nothing more romantic than making that kind of promise.” You smiled up at him, shaking your head.
“You just seem like the perfect man. Hiding any dangerous qualities under there? Or just the normal amount like the rest of us?”
“I’d say the normal amount.”
“Well you’ve persuaded me. Congratulations, are you free next Tuesday?”
