Last Day in Paradise
(Monday 0800 Sara's living Room)
I woke up first after the eventful weekend realizing that today was the day, today was the day that would change everything for me and my future. I would be leaving everything and everyone I know and Love behind for this opportunity. An opportunity to finally work with genetics and possibly help develop something amazing like, I don't know the cure for cancer or something.
As I sit up I look around and see Wally half hanging off the couch still clutching the controller from last night's gaming marathon, and not too far from him in my recliner is Kiri curled up and sleeping peacefully. I shook my head and smiled to myself and decided that I would spoil them and make my famous big breakfast. After sending a quick text to Harry letting him know to be over in an hour for breakfast I began my task by pulling out the fixins for breakfast mentally remembering that I had to make enough for about 10 people instead of 4 in account for Wallys metabolism. So I pulled out 2 dozen eggs, milk, butter and the bacon from the fridge and then headed over to my pantry to grab the flour and chocolate chips for the pancakes and about 6 potatoes for my homemade hash browns. I looked and all the ingredients and set to work.
After about 30 minutes into me making breakfast I heard someone yawn, quite loudly, and start their shuffle towards the kitchen, to my surprise it was Wally. I spared only a moment to smile at him before I went back to cooking. As I was doing that he made his way over to my coffee pot and proceed to pull the coffee out of the cupboard and brew a pot of wonderful nectar. I slightly moaned to myself as I smelled the aroma of the European blend that he brought me a few weeks ago and waited patiently for it to finish before I glanced at him to make me a cup, all the while we never spoke a word to each other, we just know each other so well we can work in a comfortable silence. As the coffee was finishing he walked over to my fridge and pulled out my Hazelnut creamer and pulled 2 mugs from the strainer by the sink and went back to the pot where the now finished yumminess awaited. He pour the steamy liquid into each mug, leaving room for my cream while he drank his black, he placed my mug next to me and I grabbed it and took a nice long sip and smiled gratefully up at him as he leaned against the counter next to me as I finished cooking. A short while later, like 15 minutes, the smell must of woken up the third member of our trio because she shuffled in and grabbed a mug and the creamer and proceeded to make her a cup of the delicious nectar as well.
*Knock Knock Knock*
Wally looked at me quizzically and I giggled. "It must be Harry I sent him a text a while ago to be over in an hour for breakfast, could you get it for me while I finish up in here?"
He gave me a brief nod before setting his mug down and heading to the door. He opened it and allowed Harry inside. "Hey Harry, Breakfast is just about done have a seat in the dining room and I'll be out in a few." I hollered from the kitchen I heard him say something about keeping Kiri company since Wally was making his way back to me in the kitchen to help get everything set out.
"There now everything is ready. Harry, Kiri Breakfast is served get in here before Wally eats it all!" I shouted and in a matter of moments they were seated and I began dishing out every ones food or rather they served themselves.
"Opps I forgot the coffee in the kitchen, I'll go grab it real quick….. and Wally paws off my plate." I sent him a glare and he put his hands up in mock defense with a mouth full of food already. I made my way back to the kitchen to grab the coffee pot and a mug for Harry and the creamer, as I was returning to the table I stopped just before any of them could see me and watched them for a moment, I saw Wally, spite my warning, try and steal a piece of bacon off my plate but Kiri stopped him by slapping his hand and saying something that I couldn't hear, all the while Harry was laughing at the two of them. So I made my presence be known and set the coffee pot down and handed Harry his mug and sat back down. I just smiled and continued to watch Kiri and Wally bicker about him trying to steal my food while I was gone. til they noticed I was sitting there silent, sipping my coffee.
"Sara? You ok over there?" Kiri said to me
I look up at her from my coffee and simply nod, this seems to quell her and she returns to her meal.
A short while later after we all finished and then watched Wally finish what was left, I never have left overs when that boy is over. We all made our way to the couch to relax and digest. I switched the T.V. on and found the Metropolis News channel and left it on there while we all started with mindless banter for a while. Shortly after Harry said he had to head downstairs to open up, he got up and placed a kiss on top of my head and left with a quick goodbye to Wally and Kiri, which they returned along with a wave.
After Harry left I went to go clean up breakfast when I heard a phone go off, checking my phone I realized it was Wally's and he answered it and I went back to clearing off the table while Kiri was flipping through the channels until she stopped on a channel playing The Craft, and settled in the recliner to watch it. I shook my head and recalled the many times we would stay up late and "practice" Witchcraft after watching the movie. I continued collecting dishes and various utensils off the table and made my way to the kitchen and started washing the plates and cookware, sometime during that Wally and his pacing lead him to the kitchen while still on the phone with whoever, he seemed agitated so I turned the water off and made my way over to him, seeing as he had his back to me he didn't see me coming. I placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him which resulted in him smiling back at me.
Kiri is always saying that we would be perfect for each other, we're both goofballs and care way too much for one another for not being together, but he's my best friend, it would be too awkward.
'Man I'm really going to miss the two of them, I'll have to talk to Mr. Luther about visitors or me visiting them sometimes.' I thought to myself as I went back to cleaning up. Shortly after Wally ended his phone call and went back out to the living room to join Kiri. I joined them shortly after, plopping myself on the couch stretching out so that my head rested in Wallys lap, which prompted him to running his fingers through my hair, which I've come to love and find comfort in.
As we continued to sit and relax the movie ended and Kiri spoke up
"So what do y'all wanna do now?" I glanced up at the clock at saw it was noon already.
' I should be hearing from the movers soon on when they're coming so I don't think going anywhere would be a good idea' I thought to myself before I said " why don't we go chill on the roof?" I sat up, resulting in a huff from Wally at my absence, they nodded and followed me to the roof access down the hall from my apartment.
As we made our way there my phone went off in my pocket, I took it out and didn't recognize the number but, against my better judgment I answered it anyway.
"H-hello" I stuttered which caught Wallys attention and he was by my side in a heartbeat.
"Yes, Miss. Cashe this is Mark from Metropolis Movers, told us to call you to see when a good time to come a retrieve your belongings would be?"
"Oh, well um, I'd say around 7-8 o'clock this evening so I can tie up a few loose ends, would that be ok."
I noticed that Wally had waved Kiris perplexed look off and she continued up to the roof knowing we would be there shortly.
"Yes. Certainly Miss. Cashe, we'll call you about an hour prior to arrival. See you then." He hung up and I placed my phone back in my pocket and saw that Wally as still looking at me weird,
"What was that about?" Wally asked me as we made our way to the roof.
"Oh it was the movers calling to see what time would be good for them to come get my stuff" I said with a blank look on my face, Wally seemed to sense my mood and stopped me and grab my chin so that I was looking him in the eye.
"Sara, what wrong? You look like your about to have a panic attack?"
I smiled at him and closed my eyes briefly while I took a deep breath to calm myself down, because truth was I was on the verge of a panic attack, but I pushed it down and looked back up at him, at those hypnotizing emerald eyes and I found myself leaning towards him and…kiss him, yes I was kissing my best friend in the whole world. What on earth was I thinking!? As I went to pull away he actually started kissing me back, it was a strange but comforting feeling. So I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment, letting him take control of the situation, after a minute or so we both pulled away, slightly out of breath from our mini makeout session in the middle of my apartments hallway,
'jeez if Harry would of saw that I have no doubt wally would have been thrown of the roof instead of going up to hangout.'
I giggled to myself at the thought of Harry throwing Wally off the roof and him somehow managing to avoid it by using his Super-speed. I soon realized that Wally was staring at me with a smile on his face instead of his usual smirk he does when he gets what he wants, No, this was a genuine smile and I loved it.
"W-wally? You ok, you're doing that smile you do when you get something that you want." I asked, a little too timid for my own liking but, shook it off quickly when he replied.
"Do you have any idea how long I've waited to be able to do that Sara?" he said without breaking eye contact with me,
his emerald eyes bore into mine I felt my insides get all tingly, 'is this what Love feels like? Could I be falling for Wally?' I question myself before I replied to him.
"How long?" I managed to get out
"Pretty much since we first met that day back at STAR Labs when Uncle Barry brought you and your dad there, I saw such innocence in you that I instantly wanted to be with you, to hold you, to tell you everything will be alright, because I will never leave you, Sara. No matter what happens between us, I'll always be here for you."
He finished his statement and I was absolutely speechless, I just stood there looking stupid with my mouth open like a fish out of water, how could I ever deserve someone like him, I'm like a walking storm cloud everywhere I go, but then I realized that every time Wally's around my day seems to get better. In one way or another he's always made me happy, ever since that dreaded night.
"Wally, I didn't know you cared that much. I thought it was always because we were such good friends. We just seem to fall into sync with each other, I don't want to hurt you, that was- it was, Ugh.. I don't want to call it a mistake but, my life is just way too complicated right now to have a relationship."
I look up to him and quietly say "please don't hate me."
What happen next was something out of a movie I swear, this kind of stuff doesn't happen to normal people, then again me and Wally are far from normal, he grabbed me on either side of my face so I couldn't look away.
"Sara, I could never hate you, it's just not in me to, and I understand it was something that just happened, something amazing might I say but, we're meant to be Best Friends right now. If something happens down the road, well lets cross that bridge when we get there."
He finished and placed a light kiss on my forehead and pulled away and offered me his hand, which I accepted without hesitation, and proceed to head towards the roof, towards our other best friend, both of us smiling.
