Barry's P.O.V

Lily and I had gotten closer. She's the sweetest girl I ever met and I enjoy every moment I'm with her. When I'm with her I dont think about Iris. I finally moved on which is a good thing because she is dating Eddie thawne. Joe's partner. But now I have to move on from Lily too.

"Barry you ok?"

"Yea just thinking." I answer Cisco.

"Something is bugging you man. I can tell. Is it Lily?" He asked me.

"Yea. I cant tell If this is going anywhere."

"So you really like her?" I looked up at Cisco.

"Yes I really do she is amazing."

"Give it some time Barry. I dont think she is ready to date yet. She had a really bad breakup about a year ago and you are the first guy she's been with since then. Well you're the first guy that shes shown any affection to since the breakup. She was in a dark place Barry. She had trouble trusting people after that. And for a while, she didnt even open up to me. She shut everybody out. I hated seeing her like that. So just give her some time. I can tell she likes you."

I cant believe someone would ever hurt lily that bad.

"Cisco I would never hurt Lily intentionally but what happened? Did he do something to her?"

"That's a story for Lily to tell you on her own time when she is ready so just be patient."

"Thanks Cisco." I said.

Lily's P.O.V

I walked into jitters to get my morning coffee. Once I got my coffee I walked out of Jitters and made my way to STAR labs. I hear my phone ring so I opened my purse to look for it.
"Where is it." I mumbled to myself.

Suddenly I felt steaming hot liquid dripping down my body. I shrieked in pain. It was my coffee. I looked up and saw a man standing in front of me.

"What the hell?! Omg it burns." I didnt know what to do. I had nothing to clean the coffee with. I lifted my shirt up a little to reveal my red burnt skin.

"Sorry about that." The man said as he began walking away.

"Hey!" I yelled. He turned back to look at me.

"Is that it? You spilled scorching hot coffee on me and now you're just gonna walk away?" I asked furiously.

"That is exactly what I was doing sweetheart until you stopped me. My names Leonard Snart by the way."

"You are unbelievable!"

"Come with me I'll buy you a coffee." He said.

"I'm not really in the mood for coffee right. Maybe you can guess why considering the coffee soaking through my shirt and burning my skin!" I yelled.

"Relax sweetheart. Come with me I'll help you out with that."

I was clearly not in the right state of mind considering I followed him.

He led me to a motorcycle.

"Get on princess." He said handing me a helmet.

"Theres no way I'm going with you."

"I wanna make it up to you and you wont let me buy you a coffee so get on." I obeyed and got behind him.

I don't know why I'm going with a stranger. I know nothing about his except for his name. Maybe it's because he is incredibly sexy.

"Hold on princess." I wrapped my arms around his waist and he drove us to an apartment that I'm assuming is his.

We walked in and he told me to sit so I sat on the small couch. He went into another room and came back with a shirt, a towel, and a small bottle. He sat next to me on the couch. He handed me a wet towel to clean the coffee off of me. I cleaned as much as I could.

"Take off your shirt." He said. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "I have something to help you with the burns on your stomach."

"I can do it myself. Wheres your bathroom." I said snatching the small bottle.

"I am trying to make up for making you spill your coffee." He snatched the bottle back and told me to just lift up my shirt.

I lifted it up just enough to see the burns. He applied some of the cream on my hand and gently rubbed it on my skin. "Ow" I winced in pain. Once he finished he handed me a clean shirt.

"Turn around." I said. He turned around and I did too. I pulled my sticky shirt off and replaced it with Leonard's clean grey shirt. I turned back around to face him only to see that he was already looking at me.

"What caused those bruises on your back?" He asked.

"First of all why were you looking at me pervert and second that's none of your business."

"I'm just making conversion princess."

"Stop calling me princess."I said.

"What am I supposed to call you then. You never told me your name."

"Its Lily."I said simply; standing up and gathering my things.

"Leaving so soon?" Leonard said.

"I dont know you. I dont even know why I agreed to come with you."

"Maybe because you want to know me." He said smirking.

"I have somewhere to be." I said.

"Meet me at Jitters tomorrow. 8 am." He said standing up.

"Tempting but I'm gonna have to say no" I said sarcastically.

"Think about it." He said.

"I wont order anything hot this time." I said chuckling. He smirked and led me out of his apartment.

"See you tomorrow princess."
