The next step....?

"I am sure you don't have to take such dangerous steps," Ellie remarked. 

"Hmm but you never know, men are weird." Without waiting for her reply, Melissa grabbed Ellie's hand and curiously inquired, "Forget about us, let's talk about you and Seb." 

"What about us?" 

"Tell me what is going on. I mean, you and Seb are having a good time but what now?" 

"What do you mean?" Helplessly shaking her head, Ellie sighed, "Be more specific." 

"When are you both planning to take the next step? Like getting engaged or married?" 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Ellie answered, "I think we are not there yet." 

"You mean you are not there or you think Seb is not there?" 

Shrugging her shoulder, she sighed, "I don't know Mel, I mean I am there but—" 

Cutting her off, Melissa remarked, "Girl, I am very sure that Seb is one hundred percent already there."
