We Are Bulletproof

All right, all right.
Will do.

And good luck, Alejo!

Yeah, yeah. I need to be on top of it, otherwise, it'll take ages...

You're way ahead of me.

I haven't had a chance to contact the department yet.

They're still going to test you when you get back to work!

Hahaha...
...maybe he is. Tread carefully! :(

NO. And you shouldn't be offering. You're a cop, do I have to remind you?!

Sounds like it.

And yes, he is.
Why?

Maybe? Maybe it's like a "may I have this dance" sort of thing.

What did you do to scare him? The... dance floor thing?
You think he's worried you'll get shitfaced and do that with him?

Yeah well the drinking is for getting loose
and to stop thinking so damn much so...

Oh baby, haha! I don't expect you to ask him for permission for a kiss.
I think you'll know when you're both good to go.
..I suppose he already is if he asked. I wonder why he asked though. That really is strange.

I know but I can't help thinking it over... a lot.
Which.. sucks because we used to just know.

I should follow my own advice, eh?

You could just ask.... that's a thought.
But you're you. I feel like you know if a guy is interested in you.
You knew I was. ;)

I'm pretty sure I would have ugly cried too. I wanted you so badly.
I wanted a relationship too though. You know?
I didn't want another one night stand and that's all I was getting in NYC for a while.

Haha well that would throw me off too.  Kinda sweet though.
He must like you enough to want to kiss you at the very least.

I do, yes. I think he does too.
Believe me we're both stressed to the max right now.

He wants to take it slow. Nothing wrong with that.
You and I didn't "bone" til our third date, remember? 😂
I wanted to though. I just didn't want to look like all I wanted was sex.
Plus I was easing into it. A new relationship. All that.

But Um
Yeah? It still feels a bit like I'm cheating. It's so sudden and so soon
You know?

And I think we're dating. I'm not sure we made it official. But we're going out for drinks tonight.
He needs some chill time.
I admit I do too

Exactly.
Those are the people you need in your life.
It's good to know you're building a family around everybody.
I think it's the best thing you ever did for yourself.

I'm sure they'll love you regardless.

Don't do that to yourself...

Yeah, I was supposed to bring you out here for the holidays. They aren't big on cities like NYC so they never came up to visit...

But yeah, they like Aaron. And they would have liked you too.

Yeah, they said they always had a feeling. I grew up in a family of sisters, so I guess it makes some kinda sense. Haha!

They do still live here, they'll probably live here until the end of time. Most of my sisters are here, too, except the one that moved to Alaska.
