A party and we were hanging out in the kitchen. I was leaning against the wall as usual and he was standing there casually. In a silence, in a pause, in awkwardness, I stared at him and smiled. He asked, \”What?\”
I said, \”Nothing.\” Then I just laughed to myself.
\”No…tell.\”
Then I said what I had said over and over again in my mind….and put it as casually as possible. Because this was the time and the chance. \”So I have been wondering, we have been spending so much time together…are we dating?\”
Another silence. Another pause. And he quickly said, \”no no no…just friends.\”
I left a blank look on my face and said, \”Yeah…my friends have been saying \’Are those two dating?\’ I don\’t know…\”
\”Yeah, I don\’t know what dating really is…\”
And our conversation went astray.
At least I can rest in peace knowing that I did not leave with loose strings flying around. I am ok, really.
