Bittersweet Love

18. "Are You Happy With Him?"

The music banged loudly in the small space. All the drunk and drugged people threw themselves onto the dance floor, letting the intoxication take over their body. Barry sat at the bar throwing alcohol into his throat knowing that they won't have any effect on him.

After a couple of minutes Cisco and Ralph huffed, landing next to Barry. "Here you go." Cisco panted, handing him a vial.

"Finally." Barry mumbled, gulping down the serum and immediately feeling the burning pain down his throat.

"Whoa." Ralph exclaimed, looking at all the empty shot glasses in front of him. "That's a lot."

"They didn't do anything." Barry huffed.

"Then why waste money on it?" Cisco commented.

"Who says I am going to pay?" Barry smirked, while making his way to the dance floor.

"Wow, who knew that one heartbreak would turn the righteous Barry Allen into a bad boy." Cisco remarked.

"Only Caitlin Snow." Ralph added.

"I am The Flash!" Barry yelled, throwing his hands up in the air, moving onto the beat of the music.

"Oh boy, here we go again." Cisco mumbled, before he and Ralph made his way to Barry before he spilled all their secrets.

While Barry was getting drunk to get over his pain, Caitlin and Scott were on their dinner date. The restaurant suggested by Barry was indeed delightful. Even though the lights shimmered inside, it did not block the natural moonlight that reflected off the water nearby. No wonder Caitlin liked it so much.

Though they ate in a formal restaurant, they behaved completely informal. The loud laughter and shrieking were not enjoyed by the others. Sensing the glares from everyone else, the mutually decided to calm down.

"Oh man, that was a laugh." Scott commented, clutching onto his stomach.

"Yeah, we were such dorks back then." She chuckled, as she sipped onto her wine.

Scott smiled, looking at her. Finally gaining the courage, he decided to speak. "Cait, I wanted to have this dinner to ask you something." He began.

Caitlin frowned, looking at her skeptically. "You brought me to an expensive restaurant to ask me a question?" She scrunched her brows further.

"No...yes...but not like that." He stammered. "Look, can I just ask my question?" He blurted out.

"Go ahead."

Taking a deep breath, he hesitantly held her hand that was placed on the table. "Cait, you and I have liked each other since high school. That time, I didn't have the courage to ask this but now, I think I do."

Caitlin's eyes widened. Her heart started beating so fast that she was afraid he could hear it.

"We both are obviously still attracted to each other." He continued. "Me maybe more than before." Scott lightly mumbled.

"Scott, what are you trying to say?" Caitlin got impatient.

"I guess what I am trying to ask is that, will you be my girlfriend?" Scott immediately looked at her face, in order to see her reaction.

However, her face was expressionless. She had nothing on her face that would give him a hint about her decision. Seeing her not say anything, he pulled her hand away from her. Looking everywhere but at her, he scoffed. "This was stupid. I should've never asked that. I was contemplating on it this morning. I wanted it to be special so I asked Barry what you like. He said he didn't know at first but then he said this place. And how everything is so awk-" Scott rambled on, but the only this Caitlin picked up was that Barry suggested it.
