The Choice

Chapter 24

Two months have passed... ..

In these two months, I went back to work at the police station and you don't even know what I found, because it seems that our new colleague who is a very good person and very ready to help people with things there, is neither more nor less than the boy. that Iris was when I discovered the betrayal.

We can say that I did not react very well to the news and very much have to see him every day, but worse than that is seeing him with Iris when she comes to pick him up for lunch or coffee, say it is not being easy at all but I have to adapt. But after a few weeks things got better and I realized that Joe was right the thing I needed most was time, and she gave me the space I needed to forget her and get on with my life.

I still can't get something for myself, not for lack of rentable apartments, but because I honestly don't know if I want to move. I am happy to live with Caitlin, by the way we are, we are never alone, we always eat together, we give each other a ride, either in her car or with my super speed and in addition the income is much cheaper, being divided by two people.

Things in the lab go beautifully, with the help of goal cure, we have been able to turn about 20 goals into human, which is great news for us, as there are at least twenty threats to the citizens of Central city and to they, who can be human again and have a normal life, who they thought they had lost since they gained their powers.

Today, unlike the other days, I was going to go to Cisco's house and was looking forward to it, since we are not going to have dinner at his house for a long time. Whenever we went there we ordered pizza, because Cisco doesn't get along very well in the kitchen, we ate ice cream and spent the night watching movies until we fell asleep on his couch.

"Caitlin ready?" I asked at her bedroom door.

- Almost, almost ... I still have to put my shoes on and we're out.- She answered and I sat on the couch waiting for her.

Caitlin left her room and we left the house toward Cisco's apartment and as we still had time we went in Caitlin's car. When we got there, Cisco opened the door for us in his specific smile and we entered, the table was already set and the pizzas were already on the table.

- Glad they arrived ... The pizzas have just been delivered, so they are still warm.- Cisco said smiling and we sat the three at the table.

Dinner went on, and as usual, we passed between conversation and laughter, which made me very happy, there were no dramas or problems, we just valued each other's company. After nearly two hours of watching movies, Caitlin had fallen asleep with her head on my legs and not to wake her up, Cisco went to fetch a blanket and I tried to adjust it so that it was better for her and me.

"How are things at home?" Cisco asked, smiling.

- Very well, it's good not to live alone.- I answered smiling looking at her.

"And it's even better when your housemate is Caitlin."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked confused, but he just smiled.

- I mean you like her ... And she obviously feels the same, but I still don't realize how they are not together yet - Cisco said with a thinker face that was still scarier than his smiling face.

- We're just Cisco friends.

- For now! But I know this will change, I just don't know when.

- Is not true! We're just friends, nothing more than that.

- Barry, do you know that this is not really true, why do you think you never moved again? You can say it's because you like living there, because the rent is cheaper for both of you, but I know the only reason you're not looking for any other house yet is because you don't want to leave because you like your company ... Barry admits you like Caitlin. You all know but you two.
