Rated pg

Steve woke for the third day in a row after having another dream about Cheryl. After the first one he was able to ignore it and push it away but the next two had been more persistent. He had noticed something different between them lately. They had been dancing around their feelings for each other. Their friendly banter would turn flirty for just a brief moment and then they would slip back in to professional mode. "Well that has got to change before I go crazy," Steve told himself as he walked in to the kitchen and headed for the coffee.

"Morning son," Mark said as he scrutinized his son. "Didn't sleep well again?" "Um actually I slept well but I had another…" Steve stopped when he realized what he was about to tell his father. "Another what?" Marked asked as he gazed thoughtfully at him. "Ok if you must know I have been having dreams about Cheryl for the last three nights." "Am I to assume that these are not just a simple dream where you help her out with something or just see her face?" Steve gave his dad an exasperated smile before responding.

"No these are definitely of a romantic nature," Steve admitted as a blush crept on to his cheeks. Mark just looked at him with a knowing smile. "Are you going to do anything about your feelings for Cheryl everyone knows you guys have been dancing around your feelings?" "Yes if I have anything to do about it not doing something about our feelings is driving me crazy," Steve said with a hint of worry creasing his brow. "Son, what is it you look troubled?" "Well what if she does not feel the same then what will I do?" "Steve open your eyes she likes you just as much as you like her so go and do something about it." "Ok dad," Steve said as he got up from the table and headed out the door to go and talk to the woman who held his heart in the palm of her hand.
