Barry groaned as sunlight entered his room. He blinked  a few times,to get fully awake and sat up. He touched his lips, slowly, as  if the feel of her might disappear. He couldn't believe what had happened last night. His latte had actually kissed him. He was certain this was step one in winning her over. He groaned as his phone rang.

"Don't tell me you're still in bed"

"Morning mum, how are you?"

"Are you up?"

"Why?"

"I'm inviting you to dinner tonight. 7pm sharp"

"Mum, you do know I'm your son right? I'm not a guest for you to invite"

"Well make sure your here"

"Why? What's so special about tonight?"

"Nothing. Can't I just call my son to dinner?"

Barry groaned. He loved his mum, but the only reason she did this was to try and set him up with someone. Well, he didn't want anyone else. He had his latte, and was determined to win her over. But he wondered how was he going to tell his mum about her? The girl who had stolen his heart, but who hated him. Barry rang his dad to see if he could get any information about tonight's dinner guest.

"Sorry Barry, your mum has sworn me to secrecy. She's worried if I tell you anything, you won't come"

"So you've switched over to the dark side? Thanks a lot dad."

"Just make sure you come"

"Ok, I'll come, but I want to tell you something"

"Ok, see you there"

Barry got ready and went to his parents house 

"Oh, your actually early for once" said his mum, as a way of getting as she opened the door 

"Yes I am" said Barry, kissing her cheek 

"Well you can lay the table"

"Wow mum, this is your best China. This guest must be special if your going to all this effort" said Barry, as he lay the table

"Nothing wrong with being prepared"

Just then, the bell went.

"Barry, go let our guest in, and be nice"

Barry groaned, as he went to the door. He was right, his mum was trying to set him up. He had to tell his parents about his latte soon. Only then would his mum stop doing what she was doing 

"Latte" said Barry, surprised as he opened the door


This was a short, filler to get things moving in the right direction. So Caitlin is having dinner with Barry and his parents. What could go wrong?
