First Date Nervousness

3rd person
Barry sat alone a table for two waiting for his date. He messed with his hair, tie, suit and made sure everything was just right. Barry was brought back to reality by a voice.

"Hello?" The lady catch's Barrys attention.

"Oh hi. Welcome. Please sit down." Barry politely says pushing out the chair for her. Once she sat down he pushed her back in.

"I'm Barry." He says.

"Hello Barry. I'm Caitlin." She introduced herself.

"So..um.. I've never really done.. y'know this whole.. uh.. date thing." Barry spits out.

"Me neither... um.. so I guess you work at the CCPD, what do you do there?" She asks him nervously.

"Uh.. yeah.." Barry reply's too nervous to finish.

"Ok let's just start this over. Hi I'm Caitlin." She confidently says after both of them being nervous from the start.

"Barry. I work at the CCPD as a foresnsic scientist and a CSI" Barrys tells her. Caitlin couldn't help but gaze into his eyes. She was mesmerized and just couldn't help but stare. Once she noticed she was staring she snapped out of it.

"Where do you work?" He asks her.

"Oh, I work at Star Labs with Dr. Harrison Wells." She tells him. His eyes light up.

"You work with Harrison wells!" He shouts happily.

"You know him?" She asks.

"He's my inspiration." Barry exclaims. Caitlin smiles at Barrys childish reaction. All of the other men she dated were always so boring and professional. She liked that Barry showed his playful side and that he was excited over silly science things.

"So, what would you like to eat. I've heard this place is great." Barry asks Caitlin while they flip through the menu.

"But first, what's would you like to drink." Barrys says handing her the wine menu.

"Red or white?" She asks.

"Whichever you prefer."

"Ummm..... red." Caitlin reply's.

"Red it is." Barry confirms.

The waiter came and took their drink orders.

A little later the waiter comes back to the table.

"So what can I get for you two tonight?" The kind man asks.

"I'll take the spaghetti with cheesy garlic bread please." Caitlin orders.

"And I'll take the fettuccine and regular garlic bread please." Barry orders.

The waiter nods and walks away.

"Mmm foods here." Caitlin smells the delicious food coming towards them.

"Spaghetti for the lady." He says putting the hot plate on the table.

"And fettuccine for the lad." He finishes setting down Barrys meal.

"Thank you." Both Caitlin and Barry say in unison.

The waiter walks away leaving the two to eat and talk.

"This place is really good." Caitlin says after taking the first bite.

"Barry that food was amazing." She says as they walk down the steps of the restaurant.

"You're right. We should come here again." Barry blurts out.

"Again? Barry is this your way of asking me on another date?" Caitlin playfully smirks.

"I..uh...yes." He quickly says.

"Oh Barry I'm just teasing you. I'd love to go out with you again." Caitlin laughs with him.

"Well then. I'll take that as permission to do this." Barry leans in.

"Correct." Caitlin smiles as their lips meet. The passion was real and they both knew it.

They break apart and continued walking. Caitlin rests her head on his shoulder once they sit down on a bench and wait for a cab.
