Getting Closer

One of the worst things about working overnight is how hard it is to find a decent place to eat late at night. We had finally found a great taco place to eat at, and would go there at least once a week. One day when we were headed to get some more tacos we finally started talking about relationships and one another.

"So what's your type?" I asked her while we sat in the drive thru waiting on our food.

"Um...I dunno if I really have one honestly. I guess most of my boyfriends have been older men. And they've all smoked weed and done other ****?" she said laughing.

"Oh you like older men huh? Guess there's no chance for me then, i'm neither of those." I said feigning a sigh.

"Hey now, don't sell yourself short. Just because we both have significant others and nothing could happen doesn't mean I wouldn't want it to if that wasn't the case. I do really like you... it's just bad timing is all."

The look on her face and the tone in her voice told me that she was totally serious though I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship. "I really like you as well." I got the feeling that I should ask her on a date or do something before the moment passed.
