Barry's POV
On entering the cocktail party,my breath was caught in my throat...seeing Caitlin as beautiful as ever in red lace. She was talking to her other friends including Felicity. Barry was amazed seeing Her attract so much of attention in the hall. Her skin glowed in different colours due to the lighting and disco in the neighbouring hall.
"Dude,you've been staring at her for the last fifteen minutes. Come on be a man and stop gawking,it's creepy" said Cisco sipping his drink.
Barry did not reply and continued sipping his drink and was looking at his phone as a distraction. "Anyways I'm going to make a move on Estelle and ask her for a dance. This is your chance Barry "said Cisco patting his shoulder and leaving the bar.
Caitlin's POV
Barry looks breathtakingly perfect-his gelled hair and his smart casuals is making me go crazy.....I've been noticing that ever since he entered the bar he's been staring at me,not in a creepy way but in an admiring and passionate way. But I can't make conclusions even before I know that he likes me more than a friend....
He looks up from his phone and I try to avert my gaze but it's too late....his emerald eyes pierce into my eyes and my heart flutters at the eye contact.
Barry's POV
Oh God I should've known that she was watching me but I couldn't break the eye contact between us. Her brown eyes bore into mine and I was totally under her spell.
Caitlin waved at him to get over the awkwardness and Barry waved back breaking a huge grin. She walked up to him and leaned against the bar counter and Barry almost lost his grip on his drink as he sensed her lavender scent.
"It's like we've already said hi..."she said ignoring the tension between them.
Barry nodded and said,"You look great tonight Cait".
She loved the way he called her Cait as if each syllable was caressed gently like slow waves. "Thanks Barry you look great too" she said smiling.
She walked along the counter to pour herself another drink when a handsome guy came up to her.He had lust filled eyes and looked at her up to down several times and he asked her for a dance. She sensed his dirty intentions. "Er-um no thanks I'm fine"she said turning her back towards him and resumed pouring her drink.
Barry's POV
Why the hell is he hitting on her? I can feel anger in my veins when he is looking at her with those monstrous eyes. Much to my dislike he leans onto her and Caitlin slaps him on the face. Filled with anger he holds her wrists and pins her on the counter. She was in pain.Before he forcibly kissed her I lost my cool and walked towards him and punched him sharp on the jaw. "Dont you ever do that again you cheap bastard" I said with fuming anger in my voice. The man walked away with gritted teeth holding his jaw.
General POV
"Hey you okay Cait?" Barry asked her protectively touching her wrists. "Yeah I'm okay" she said almost in tears. They hugged and Caitlin nuzzled her face in the crook of his neck breathing his intoxicating scent. When they broke apart, Barry held out his hand and asked,"Do you wanna dance with me?". Caitlin didn't reply. Instead she smiled and held his hand and guided them to the dance floor.
This was sure going to be a night of unspoken love and tension between the two budding lovers.....
