Chapter 3 : A day in Central City

Barry woke up with a big smile on his face. He and Eleana had a day off today and he had taken the opportunity to offer her a visit of Central City and some help to find her an appartement.

He slowly got up and walked towards the bathroom.  Only few minutes later, after getting dressed up, he was closing the door of his appartement, still smiling. He got out of the building and walked to Jitters, where he was supposed to meet Eleana.

He entered the coffee shop and was immediatly greeted by Iris.

"Hey Bar !" She hugged him.

"Hey Iris." He replied, hugging her back.

"I thought you had the day off. Usually you sleep all day when you get one." She joked, letting him go.

"True. But today I'm giving Eleana a visit of Central and see if we can find her a nice appartement. We are supposed to meet here in ... " He looked at his watch "... 10 minutes."

"Wow."  Iris replied, her eyes widen.

Barry gave her a confused look.

"You're not late. You even have advance. Oh my god, what happened to you ?" Iris said, trying to stop a laugh.

"Oh shut up." Barry rolled his eyes.

Iris cracked and she started laughing. Barry joined her quickly. He had to admit that it was probably the first time since awhile that he wouldn't be late.

"What is so funny ?" A voice asked behind him, making him jump.

He turned to see Eleana, a smirk on her face. He took a minute to look at her. She was even prettier than the first time he saw her. Her hair was falling on her shoulders, her blue eyes were shinning and she was wearing a pastel pink dress. He was totally lost in his thoughts and he didn't hear Iris calling him the first time.

"Barry !" She almost yelled, pushing his shoulder.

"W-what ?" He said, slowly getting back to reality.

"Iris was telling me that you weren't late, and that it wasn't something happening often with you." Eleana grinned, playing with her fingers.

"Does that mean I'm someone special ?" She said with a cocky tone.

Barry turned red, making both Iris and Eleana laugh.

"Oh, you sure are." Iris said, pushing her hair behind her shoulders.

Eleana shove her hands in the pockets of her jacket, slighlty blushing and Barry scratched the back of his neck. She was definitely special to him, but he couldn't explain it. And mainly he couldn't tell it to Iris or she would immediatly try to marry them.

"Do you guys want some coffee before leaving ?" Iris asked, probably remembering that she had a job here.

"Oh not for me, I'm not a coffee person. But thanks for asking." Eleana shook her head.

Barry mentally noted that, he could use it later. Iris turned to him, waiting for an answer.

"No thanks, I'm fine." He replied.

Iris smiled to the both of them. She turned her gaze to a table behind her before sighing.

"I should get back to work before my boss decides to check out what's going on here."
