Let Me Be The One - The Flash (Barry Allen/ Grant Gustin Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6: Play It Cool

Roy's POV

"Nah man, you're probably lying to me. She wouldn't do that; she can't even give proper hugs. Just forget about it dude", I told Barry as we were walking through a busy street. He was telling me about how Juliet gave him an unwanted kiss. I noticed that he was getting so worked up over ONE little kiss. "No Roy, you don't understand. I can't just shrug it off! Next thing I know, she will tell me that she doodles my name all over her belongings and that she has a picture of me as her wallpaper. Or even worse, she dreams of us together in a mansion with 3 little Spanish 'Dora' children. I can't deal with this!" Barry exclaimed loudly while throwing his hands up hopelessly, as everyone stared at us. "Tell you what; you just need to scare her away with your charm. You know, flirt like me! Since she's new to all this", I said with a grin, feeling like a genius. "I don't have charm, my brain only knows how to charm test tubes and science theories", Barry said with a frown plastered on his face. I stared at Barry with my jaw hanging. This guy needs some testosterone! "Okay okay, let's Google some ideas for our little plan. Got data bro?" I said, looking at my phone with despair. Barry handed me his phone and together we invented some cheesy pick up lines that he would use on Juliet. Barry seemed really keen about doing this to Juliet...strange, I thought. "Call Cisco and tell him to keep Ms Jules occupied for a while....and tell him to make sure she has something nice on. We're going all out tonight", I announced while giving (the excited) Barry a high five.

Juliet's POV

"Cisco, when did Dr Wells say he would be here?" I yelled from the kitchen while doing the dishes. I then heard footsteps approaching the kitchen with the slight sound of panting. Cisco popped into the kitchen seeming tired and unstable. "In about....6 minutes", he said breathlessly while glancing at his watch. "What?!", I shrieked causing Cisco to block his ears with his fingers. "Don't yell at me, I'm tired because of you! How can you just expect me to run from my room to answer this silly question?", he asked hopelessly. "Ugh, go get ready while I prepare some eats for Wellie", I said sympathetically walking up to my cousin and giving him a hug to comfort his fatigue. "Don't call him Wellie, that's gross!" Cisco exclaimed while pushing me away from the embrace with a scrunched up face. "Whatever idiot!" I said, rolling my eyes and shooing him away. As he ran unsuccessfully up the stairs, I took a packet of crackers out of the cupboard, and to our misfortune, the doorbell rang. "Coming", I called out to Dr Wells. I put the crackers in the fridge and grabbed macaroons from a container to serve with coffee or tea, if Wells preferred it. Just as I placed the last macaroon on the plate, the doorbell rang again. I groaned at the impatient man and hurried to the door while removing my apron. I threw it on the couch and fixed my hair. "Good evening Dr Wellies-uhh, I mean Wells!", I said happily while opening the door. And then my smile was replaced with a frown as I noticed the man leaning against the door frame smirking.

"Ugh, what do you want?" I asked the man after a rather intense staring competition. "Hey babe, didn't you miss me?" he said while entering the house and collapsing on the couch. My eyes widened at his sudden, unexpected affection and I closed the door while gulping. "Barry, what are you honestly doing here?" I stuttered while glancing at the staircase, waiting for Cisco to relieve the tension between Barry and me. "I'm here to take you out", Barry said while running his long fingers through his neat hair. "No, you can't. Cisco is expecting Dr Wells and I need to play hostess-hostess", I answered him with sass. Suddenly, Barry burst out laughing and threw his head back. "That was the best he could come up? Oh, he's the worst", Barry said to himself. Now I was very confused. Was Barry high or something? Barry then stopped laughed and looked at me seriously. "Wait, didn't Cisco tell you to dress up or something?" he said pointing at my sweatpants and hoodie. I frowned before hearing a noise from the staircase diverting my attention to it. There stood Cisco in his Batman onesie with his hands full of junk food. That sly fox, that's his gaming attire, I thought, narrowing my eyes at his innocent smile. "Come on, Jules. Go out, Dr Wells has an appointment with some or other scientist", Cisco said softly, looking at me with wide eyes. I looked at Barry and turned away when he winked at me. "Give me 10 minutes, I need to go get dressed", I said, heading for the stairs. "Wear something nice, it's going to be a great nice night", Barry stated with a grin.

"You look beautiful Jules", Barry said while his eyes were glued on my body. I scoffed at him and slapped his arm, causing him to mutter something under his breath. I was dressed in a tight, mid-thigh black dress with lace trimmings and I had red heels that matched my lipstick. I took my phone out from my purse, clicked on the camera icon and used the front camera as a mirror. I gasped at my flushed cheeks and swore softly to myself in French. As I turned to Barry, his one eyebrow was raised and he had a mischievous expression on his face. I smiled awkwardly before turning my expression into a bored one. He laughed softly and placed his hand on my thigh, giving it a light squeeze. I froze and stared at his hand. What was up with him? I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts. This is what I wanted, right? As I was considering all possible questions and answers, the car came to a halt. I glanced up and gulped; we were at a club!! I grew very uncomfortable as Barry got out of the car and opened my door, offering his hand to me. I took his hand and maneuvered myself out of the car. Barry then put his hand around my waist and led me into the club. "Let's get a drink and we'll light up the dance floor", Barry whispered into my ear. I didn't exactly drink because my mother told me that alcohol isn't good. But I left that house to experience these type of things. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a vodka shot. As I poured the warm liquid into my throat, I felt queasy. I just drank!!! Oh gee, mother is probably going to throw me with holy water if she ever hears of this. I ordered another one to show Barry that I wasn't a little wet blanket. As I downed it, I caught a view of Barry smiling at me. "Let's dance!!", I yelled at a smiling Barry and dragged him towards the dance floor.

After countless shots and quite a few toe-stepping moments with Barry, I was finally having the time of my life. The music of Martin Garrix playing was putting me into a trance. And Barry? He didn't seem drunk after all the shots but he was hesitantly trying to dance. I laughed at his poor attempt of foot shuffling and he joined me in mocking him. Suddenly, my feet caught on to nothing in particular and I fell forward. I started screaming and closed my eyes when a strong pair of arms caught me and held onto me. I looked up and Barry's beautiful green-blue eyes stared into my soul. And then I saw a little spark flash through his eyes. My eyes widened at this phenomenon. How was it possible, I thought? "I'm not going to kiss you so stop staring at me. Heaven knows why you think I'll ever fall for you", Barry stated bluntly while letting go of me. I felt slightly embarrassed and offended as Barry said that. Was I really acting that desperado? I looked down at the floor trying to fight back a tear that was threatening to escape from my eye. I couldn't let Barry have the pleasure of knowing that his words affected me so I pushed past him and got in a cab that led me straight home. As I walked up the driveway, I threw my high heels on the lawn triggering the floodlights' sensor. They turned on and I shielded my eyes with my one hand while trying to get to the door. I ran inside, locked the door and headed for my room. I climbed into the comforting duvet while closing my eyes as all the night's memories popped into my head. Why was Barry acting so strange? I just didn't understand anything. I prayed for a while, which I don't usually do, and fell asleep to the image of Barry's green-blue eyes burning into my soul while shattering my heart.
