In the Speed Force~

3rd person POV~

At Jitters~

While the sounds of coffee being made put Barry at ease after everything that happened yesterday. He still couldn't get Caitlin out of his mind as he waited in the line to get his coffee; even though his heart was crushed that didn't stop him from liking her. Nothing could break that for him; not even if she was with someone else. Barry then began to fall into a daze as he waited for his coffee to arrive; he started to think that he should have admitted to Caitlin before his heart was broken.

Sometimes Barry is just too slow...; "Um- sir? Sir? You are next in line..." The cashier said which broke Barry out of his daze; he started to order his usual which was just an Espresso and paid for his drink and decided to sit at a small round table. As Barry was sipping his hot beverage; he noticed out of the corner of his eye a beautiful golden-amber haired woman that just entered Jitters. It was Caitlin, she shined one of her bright smile that could just light up the whole coffee shop. Barry was just in awe at her beauty; it was impossible to stop liking this girl, Barry thought to himself. Caitlin started to make her way over to his table area; "Hey Barry, what's up?" Caitlin asked happy to see him

"Hey Cait, oh um- nothing really," Barry said with a bright smile

"So how was hanging out with Cisco at the bar?" Caitlin asked with a smile

"So how was hanging out with Cisco at the bar?" Caitlin asked with a smile

"It was... eventful." Barry began and cleared his throat, "How was seeing your childhood friend?" Barry asked looking uneasy about the topic

"It was good, good to see him I mean," Caitlin said with a smile, "Is everything okay? You seem distant..." Caitlin asked looking worried

"Hey Barry!" you hear from across Jitters; which caused Barry and Caitlin to turn around to see who was calling him; it was no one other than Iris West.

"Hey Iris" Barry and Caitlin said in sync

"What's up with you two?" Iris asked with a smile

"Nothing really," Barry and Caitlin said in sync again; while taking a glance at one another

"So, anyways I just stopped to say hi; I'll leave you two alone on y'all's date then," Iris said while tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Oh we aren't on a date- we are very much single though so... right?" Barry said awkwardly while rubbing the back of his neck

"Right, I'm single..." Caitlin said while blushing a little

"Okay, um- anyways I'll leave you, two nerds, to it, then," Iris said with a bright smile as she exited the coffee shop.

The rest of the coffee "hangout" with Caitlin and Barry was both kinds of awkward once Iris had arrived, but they both decided on shaking off the awkwardness between them both. They both shared laughs, smiles, and talks; every laugh, smile, or talk made their connection to each other much stronger than before! They both didn't want their time to end spending it with just each other; it felt so surreal just to talk to that person who understands you inside and out. It was perfect just both of them catching up with one another; until a ringing sound filled their conversation. It was Caitlin's phone going off; so Caitlin answered the phone call. "Yes, of course, I'll be right there okay bye," Caitlin said into the phone
