Caitlin clambered comfortably on the sofa, sitting in her favourite spot a few centimetres away from Felicity, she'd changed into her pyjamas already, knowing Felicity was soon to get a hot chocolate for the both of them. Felicity stared at Caitlin for a second before talking.

"You should call him"

"Caleb? Or Barry?" Caitlin asked, unsure of which boy they were talking about.

"Barry, he wanted me to tell you to call him once you got here but I was busy talking about pretty boy, I forgot, but you should call him too" Felicity yawned, scooching closer to Caitlin as she pulled out her laptop and dialled Barrys number, he picked up fairly quickly. His face appearing on the screen, he looked pretty confused until he realised who it was, he'd clearly just woken. Even though it was only eight at night.

"Caitlin, Felicity" Barry grinned, his eyes flickering behind the screen a few times and a muffled giggle from a girl making Caitlin feel that horrible burning, bubble of anger in her stomach or was it just jealousy. "Finally remember to call back?"

"Yeah, sorry I was talking about the cute guy that gave Caitlin his number and it slipped my mind well...until just now, what is that noise? Do you have a girl there?" Felicity questioned, moving to try and see although she wasn't doing anything to the screen, so she was just moving for nothing.

"He's with Leyla, maybe we can call you back tomorrow, say hi to Leyla for me" Caitlin smiled falsely, waving goodbye.

"No, Cait wa-" She closed the laptop, ending the call. Felicity had her eyebrows raised, confusion dancing across her features.

"Leyla? Who the hell is Leyla?" Felicty asked, gobsmacked. Barry hadn't told her anything about a Leyla and she felt quite offended.

"Barry's new girlfriend, well not new I guess, he kept her from us since yesterday" Caitlin explained, knowing Felicity was annoyed too. Caitlin shook her head and held up her hand in defense. "I'm just as offended as you"

"Well, ask Caleb out and don't tell him about it" Felicity said, it was Caitlins turn to raise her eyebrows. "I mean he's a sweet guy, you said you like him and get some revenge back on Barry, for both of us"

"Felicity, I can't go out with this guy for revenge on Barry" Caitlin said in all honesty, it wasn't in her genes to be that cruel. She liked Caleb but she didn't like him the way she liked Barry, she didn't really know if she would ever like anyone the way she liked Barry. "I don't want to upset Barry either, I have to work with him everyday"

"Fine" Felicity grumbled, folding her arms and switching on the tv to fill there silence, Felicity couldn't stand the silence between the two, they would always be talking about something. "What's she like?"

"Cheery, she looks like a model, long platinum hair, soft curls, high pitched voice, green eyes, she wears dresses as far as I know" Caitlin muttered coldly, keeping her eyes fixated on the tv but wasn't actually watching it. Felicity noticed the hate in Caitlins tone as she spoke of the girl.

"Not a fan?"

"She called me snappy" Caitlin sighed defending herself, "She asked if me and Cisco were a couple and I said we are best friends, how is that snappy?" Caitlin said furiously.

"Maybe, she's jealous, annoying you purposely" Felicity suggested, the words caught Caitlin making her turn her whole body towards Felcity and crossing her legs focusing on her friend, who was smirking mischievously.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, maybe she's threatened by you, your so close to Barry that she hopes, maybe by her annoying you, you wouldn't hang around with Barry so much because your annoyed he's with her" Felicity explained, amazed by her wiseness and she could see it on Caitlins face that she was amazed by it too. Caitlin stayed silent focusing on her lap thinking. In some ways it made sense to her but she didn't want to believe that she was a threat to Leyla who looked like a goddess if we were being dramatic.
