The Choice

Chapter 16

"Barry, what are you doing here?" Caitlin asked, opening the door and seeing my condition.

"Can I stay here today?" I asked, and she nodded and went into her house, sitting on the couch with her beside me.

"Of course you can, but Barry tells me what's wrong!"

"She betrayed me," I said, crying, I could no longer bear the tears.

- What? When? At where? With whom? Why? "Caitlin asked, surprised and very sorry for me.

"Since her trip to London, I caught her kissing her in her office today, the newspaper's London representative, and why I'm not sure. We had discussed this morning because she found out that I had stayed at your house in those weeks and then when I went there to sort things out, I found them kissing and she admitted it all.

- Oh, Barry! I'm so sorry.

- You do not have to ... You're not to blame. She was the one who betrayed me" I said, crying and Caitlin hugged me.

As we stepped away from the embrace, we were one in the other's eyes and without my realizing it, I began to look at his lips as he approached me. We were millimeters away from each other and that's when she said it.

"Barry ... I do not want you to regret it.

I did not say anything, I just got closer and our lips moved together like it was the most normal thing in the world and let me be honest, but it was wonderful. It was as if we were destined! It started to be a slow and gentle kiss but in time it started to progress and we were already going towards Caitlin's room.

We close the door and lay it on her bed, me on top of it. We continued with the kisses but our clothes disappeared as time passed.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" Caitlin asked.

I did not answer, I just looked into her eyes, then I looked at her red lips of our kisses and her body that was wonderful and at that moment I knew that this was the right thing that could happen.

In the morning I woke up first to Caitlin, and at times I just stared at the way she slept, she looked so angelic and carefree, as if no one could ever hurt her, but then I got up and went to breakfast.

I knew we had to talk about what happened, mostly to know what it meant, I do not know if it meant the same thing to me or whether it was a thing of the moment, because of my love situation with Iris.

"Good morning," Caitlin said, and I turned her around, seeing her with only my shirt on, her legs showing since the shirt was not too big. Wow, this woman is beautiful!

POV Caitlin:

I could not erase the memory of my last night with Barry. I had always hoped for something to happen, but I did not want it to be that way. In the morning I woke up and put on the first thing I found on the floor that happened to be his shirt.

As soon as I got out of bed, I smelled bacon and scrambled eggs, so I went straight to the kitchen and there he was, no sweater to prepare our little lunch.

"Good morning," I said, and he turned to me and smiled.

"Good morning." Barry smiled and sat down in a chair for breakfast. "I know we have to talk about what happened, but I do not know if I'm ready to be now.

"Me too, let's have breakfast refreshed without any drama or serious talk, and soon after we come in from the lab we'll talk about what happened." But first, may I ask you something? How are things going to be with Iris? Are you still getting married?

"I have to talk to her, I want to clarify things, but we will not get married ... I cant trust her after what I discovered ... Who guarantees me that if I forgive her, she will not give me the same?"

We were in the middle of our breakfast when Barry's cell phone rang. He picked it up and then went to my room to get dressed.

"I'm sorry I have to leave now, but there was an emergency at the CCPD," Barry said as he kissed my lips and left the house.

I got up from my chair and went to do the dishes, and then got dressed to go to the lab. When I arrived, Harry and Cisco were already working on healing for the goals. Some time ago Cisco had the brilliant idea of ​​creating an antidote for the goal, that is, a cure.

"Good morning everyone," I said, sitting down in my chair next to Cisco. "How are things around here?"

"Well, I've already made a prototype of the cure, but the harder it will be to set a goal for testing." Cisco smiled.

"That'll be all right, I'm sure." He smiled and began to monitor the area for possible goals.

The morning was very calm, with no goals to fight, so we left the three of us to eat lunch earlier. As the Jitters is closer to the laboratory, we went there and found Iris who looking at me, got a very serious face and if the looks could kill, I would be dead for sure, but then she left accompanied by a man that I did not recognize and it was then I remembered what Barry told me last night about the man from London.

"Good morning, are you going to want something?" Asked the girl who came to meet us.

"Yes, I wanted a chicken hamburger with fries and rice," I replied.

"I'll want the same," Harry said to the girl.

"I want a steak accompanied with chips, rice and some salad, please." Cisco smiled as the girl pointed.

"And I want a chicken-and-cheese steak burger, accompanied with fries." Barry said at our table and sat next to Cisco, who was in front of me.

"And to drink?" Asked the girl.

"Coca Cola," Cisco replied.

"Same," I and Barry said at the same time.

"A water," Harry replied, and the girl went to the bar with our orders.
