Christmas At the West House.

"Let me kiss you... please?"

Previously

A quarter hour later, Cisco and Caitlin decided to check up on him. When they found no trace of him in the accelerator, Caitlin reached for her phone to text him. She found a text from him from a minute ago.

Barry: Went home to change. Back in a 3.

Before she could finish reading the text, he was in front them carrying a small gift bag.

The two give him a puzzled look.

"Before you start, I'm sorry for how I acted earlier. I've had some time to clear my mind and, you have nothing to worry about. I promise!" He reassures them.

"So... what's in the bag?" Cisco had to know. The curiosity was eating him raw. He even tries seizing the gift bag from him.

"We're gonna be late." Caitlin rolls her eyes as she walks past them. 

"Let me kiss you... please?"

Please, leave a trail of thoughts / comments / feedback! :)   

 Exactly 45 minutes later, they arrived at the party.

Standing only a few feet away from the front door, the three could not believe the grandness that was before their eyes. The only thing surrounding the illuminated mansion was a vast forest that spread out as far as the eyes could see. 

To say Eddie came from money would be nothing shy from an understatement. Cisco had never been to the white house but he was more than confident in that this was the closest he'll ever get that.

Before they could even knock, Iris was already opening the door. She met her friends with the most sincere of smiles as she wrapped her arms around them in unison.

"I'm so glad you guys could make it!" She exclaims with her hands palms pressed to her chest. "Come on in!" She steps to the left and ushers them in.

"I'm sorry, did we just step into a freaking movie set?!" Cisco whispers to Barry. "Where are the cameras?" He began to look around. 

Elegantly dressed guests were evenly scattered across the ballroom - esque living room space; each dressed in designer from head to toe. The older crowd mingled at the bottom of the spiral staircase and sipped on bourbon as they pompously laughed at each others jokes. 

Meanwhile, the younger crowd claimed the spiral stairs that lead to what Barry could only guess were the bedrooms as he could barely see its end. 

In the far back end, a sign illuminated by neon lights read "Bar". To Barry's surprise, it was the least populated area in the entire house.

"Iris! You need to get dressed. They'll be here in 30!" Eden suddenly appears before them and pulls Iris by the arm, dragging her up the myriad of stairs. 

"I'm so sorry. I'll be down in a few! " She manages to call out. She then succeeds in sending an apologetic smile Barry's way. As much as every inch of him didn't want to, he couldn't help but return the smile.

Moments later, Cisco made his way up the staircase to meet a short blonde who had been giving him interesting looks since he walked in. Caitlin shook her head in absurdity as she dragged Barry to the bar.

As soon as they were seated, the Bartender approached them. "What can I offer the lovely couple this fine evening?". 

Barry noticed a slight Australian accent in his prose. He also took notice to the way he directed the question more so to Caitlin.
