Reviewers from the last chapter – thank you to all who reviewed - replies are below!
Raquel – I hope you got to see your grandpa, I understand if you can't review your grandpa needs you right now. I hope he gets better soon. Please enjoy the next part and that your wait was worth it.
AReiss2145 – I can't say if they kiss or not but you'll have to read to find out haha (I'm evil) as for Caitlin and her feelings for Barry will she act on them or hide from them now that is the question.
Guest – enjoy nothing more I can say to be honest
Sarcasticcaviar – thank you – I hope you like part two
Kick-12 – I hope you fall for this chapter as well, personally I think it is better than the last chapter but that's just the Snowbarry in me talking.
Foreveryoung07 – No I haven't seen it unfortunately but it is on my to watch list as I love her. I'll have to watch it later
Guest – nothing more to say than thank you
Mr Panda – Yes this is drunk Cait especially this part of the chapter and I loved writing it.
Snowbarryfordays – well I hope you like this one because I do haha
FatMac – it wasn't a cliff hanger was it? I didn't plan on it being a cliff hanger so I'm sorry if it looks that way.
Guest – believe me my Snowbarry heart ran free on this chapter as you will be able to tell.
Boba – I love drink Cait and she gets better in this chapter as for Linda she's just there as a friend due to hers and Iris's friendship in season two it made sense to have her in this as Iris is going to need a female friend as well. She might have a little something down the line but for now she's just a friend to Iris.
T917MA – if it had of been one full chapter then we're talking around seven thousand words, I thought that was a little long personally but here's part two and you didn't have to wait long for it.
I know you have all waited for this chapter so …
Here's part 2 …enjoy.
Stumbling out the bar the weather had gotten a lot colder than when I arrived and I wished I had of brought a jacket with me. Brushing the hair out of my eyes I felt a hand on my shoulder. Looking behind me I saw Eddie stood there with a goofy smile on his face, no doubt in the same club as I am right now having drank far too much tonight but we was having fun, I was having fun for the first time in a long time so I got carried away with the drink and I'll no doubt pay the price for it tomorrow but I don't care because I'm only going to be young once so I might as well try and enjoy myself as much as I can.
Eddie stumbled over his own feet but managed to catch himself with a little help from Iris and Cisco who grabbed hold of his shirt before he fell to the floor. Laughing at him, I tried to turn around to face him only to stumbled over my own feet just like he had but luckily I only bumped into the wall of the bar.
"Are you going to be ok getting home?" Eddie slurred holding onto Iris for support but she wasn't in much better shape as he was.
"I'll be fine" I told him holding onto the wall beside me.
"Maybe you should take a cab it will be safer, believe me I'm a cop I have a gun and everything" his hand went to his waist, pouting when he couldn't find it. "Well I did have a gun" he pointed his finger at me.
"I believe you" I laughed at his disappointed face.
"It will be impossible to get a cab at this time" Barry appeared beside me from nowhere.
"I don't live far I can walk" I told them, it might take a little longer than normal to get home as straight lines are way out of the picture at this point but I will make it.
"I'll walk with you" Barry placed his hand onto my shoulder.
"Good because it's dangerous out there" Eddie pointed between the two of us.
"Come on home time for you" Iris grabbed his arm. "It was so nice to meet you Caitlin, hopefully we can do this again soon" with a wave she set off down the street pulling a very drunk Eddie behind her. The sound of the arguing about something disappeared the further they got.
"We should get going if we want to make it to bed before sunrise" Cisco wrapped his arm around Linda's shoulders making her arm automatically slide around his waist.
"Separate beds, don't give us that look. We're just friends not a couple or anything we just live in the same neighbourhood" she began to ramble on with herself.
"They get it" Cisco but her off almost offended at her reaction.
"I'll text you Caitlin, I have your number I think" she looked confused as she waved to us before they both stumbled off in the same direction as Iris and Eddie both laughing at something unknown
"I don't need you to walk me, I'm fine" I hiccupped stumbling a little on the spot, the taste of vodka present in my mouth and no doubt on my breath as well.
Leaning my back against the wall off the club I turned to look at Barry only to see him looking straight back at me. My not so perfect vision thanks to the alcohol scanned him from head to toe once again. How he can look so good without even trying is unbelievable, a part of me wanted to take him into a lab somewhere and study him, just to understand more about him as I know hardly anything about him and I wanted to know more, needed to know more because he is driving me insane at the moment. He's like a mystery to me, almost forbidden to me but he's all them things because I can't allow myself to get to know him because it will lead to growing closer to him and it will only end badly for me, just like every other guy I've meet him my twenty odd year life. It always ends in me crying into a large tub of Ben and Jerry's and I can't allow that to happen anymore. How many times can I be broken before I'm unable to be put back together?
"I'm not letting you walk home alone, I might be in the same state as you but we'll manage it" he smile, 'that freaking smile' the voice in my head said, the smile that draws me closer to him, along with his eyes. 'Those stupid eyes, all green and looking at me'
"It's not far, I can get home on my own" my hands went to my hips as I glared at him. I might have had a little too much to drink. Ok a lot to drink but I can make it home on my own just fine. I do not need chaperoning.
"Fine, go on your own but I will follow you if I have too" throwing his arms up into the air in frustration.
"So you're going to stalk me now?" I asked my eyes narrowing at him as I felt my blood pressure increase. Why he has to be so frustrating I don't know.
"Why are you being so stubborn?" he asked folding his arms over his chest.
"Why are you so frustrating?" I shot back wondering why he has such a problem with me walking eight blocks or so home.
"Why are you answering my question with a question?" he took a step closer to me.
"Why did you answer my question with a question?" I raised my eyebrow at him, taking an unsteady step closer to him.
"We're getting nowhere here but if you want to stand here for the remainder of the night arguing we can. I have nothing better to do"
"And neither do I" I lent forwards as if that would make my point, only to fall forwards because of my stupid heels.
Putting my arms out and closing my arms waiting to make contact with the concrete floor, I braced myself for the impact. Instead my hands landed on Barry's hard chest as he caught me, his arms wrapping around my waist holding me up.
"You really think you can make it home alone?" he laughed making me want to slap him. "Are you going to point me in the right direction so we can both make it home tonight?"
"I hate you" sighing I glared up at him knowing I had lost this battle and he will never let me leave on my own. Pointing left with my hand I told him the way to go.
"You don't hate me" He helped me stand up straight again. "Now hold on" he turned around placing my hand onto his shoulder as we started walking towards my apartment.
With my right hand on his shoulder and my clutch tucked under my left arm I followed behind him feeling like a fool. It would probably be easier for him to put me on a leash instead of this or I could even walk next to him anything easier than this really lame conga line he has going on but I decided to keep my thoughts to myself as all I wanted to do with go home, curl up in my big bed and go to sleep.
We continued to walk in silence or more realistically stumble down the street the only positive part of following him would be the fact it gave me a chance to check out his ass, resisting the temptation to let go of his shoulder and grab hold of it to see if it was as firm as it looked. Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I watched how it moved as he walked, almost hypnotising myself and I didn't care if anyone on the street saw me looking at him like he was a piece of meat because right now I couldn't care less, if I want to look at Barry like he is a piece of meat I will and I will not feel guilty about it – after all what else am I supposed to look at his back, it's not as interesting as his ass.
"You ok back there?" Barry asked bringing me back into the real world.
"No my feet hurt" I whined letting go of his shoulder and slumping onto the curb unable to walk any further. If we hadn't of spent most of the night on the dancefloor, only sitting down to have a drink then I would be able to walk but I only have myself to blame as Barry was more than happy sat in the booth but I made him dance but when I was getting dressed I didn't think I would be dancing tonight.
"Come on Latte, you can't sit there"
"My feet hurt too much to walk" I complained again taking the stupid heels off my feet and placing them beside me on the curb along with my clutch all thoughts of my bed disappearing as I could just curl up here for the night and sleep.
Taking hold of my hand, Barry pulled me up to my feet with a lot of protesting from me. "Put your shoes back on" he told me bending over to place them the right way around so I could slip them back on easily.
"They hurt Barry" I pouted at him, looking between him and the shoes. "You wear them and I can wear yours"
"Not my size sweetheart but put them on and I'll carry you"
"You're not carrying me, just leave me here I'll be fine" I waved him off going to sit back down only for him to grab both of my hands to stop me.
"I mean I'll give you a piggyback, so put them on or I will" he finally allowed me to sink back down to the floor slowly.
"No they're the devil in disguise" I shook my head shooting glares at the stupid shoes I wish I had never bought.
With a sigh Barry knelt on one knee and forced the shoes back onto my feet – not without a lot of protest from me. I don't care if I'm acting like a baby these shoes are going in the trash to never been seen again. All the shoes I have and I choose the most uncomfortable pair.
"There now up you get" he pulled me back up onto my feet bringing the aching pain back. "Jump onto my back" he turned around giving me the view of his beautiful ass once again.
"I can't go on your back, have you seen how short this dress is?" I asked giving up hours ago on pulling the hem down as it was a battle I was losing.
"And you're point is?" he asked looking over his shoulder at my dress, his eyes lingering on my legs a little longer than expected.
"My ass will hang out" I pointed out throwing my arms up into the air; how someone can be so dumb I don't know.
Shrugging his jacket off, his arms slipped around my waist, wrapping his jacket around me tying it in place around my hips. "See problem solved, now up you get" his cocky smile showing which annoyed me as he has an answer or solution to everything.
With a little hesitation as I didn't want him to give me a piggy back, I wanted him to leave me alone so I can go home alone and try and forget all about him because after tonight I have decided I defiantly need to put some space between us. I finally jumped onto his back holding my clutch between both hands under his chin. "I really do hate you" I mumbled resting my chin on my arm on his shoulder.
"I know you do Latte" he laughed turning his head a little to look at me. "What do you weight by the way?"
"Are you saying I'm heavy?" I shot back a little angry, the last time I weighted myself I was just the right weight if not a couple of pounds under for my age and height.
"Just the opposite actually, you're very light" he quickly defended himself.
"You should never ask a woman her weight" I informed him while pointing out the way to go.
"Noted, it will not happen again" Resting the side of my head against his I hummed my reply feeling very comfortable.
Feeling more than comfortable in my current position I could have easily fallen asleep but as Barry wouldn't shut up taking I didn't have that option, tightening my legs around his waist I allowed on off my arms to slip down to myself but I left my head resting against his.
"Turn here" I said giving him the directions to my apartment before settling down again while Barry continued to talk I don't know if he is talking to me or if he's just talking but whatever the option when he's had a drink he becomes very chatty.
Turning where I told him too, he turned his head just enough to look at me that his nose hit mine due to the angled my head was at. "You ok?"
I nodded my head yes looking around; thankful the streets are deserted at this time of night, I don't know what I would do if a patient saw me in this state. I think my career here would be over because none of them would talk me seriously anymore but I've had a fun night so I don't care.
"Are we almost there?" Barry asked his head down looking where he was going.
"Almost, two more blocks" I told him "But wait" I suddenly got an idea. Digging into my clutch I dragged my phone out.
"What are you doing?" he looked up at my phone as I tried to unlock it, after a couple of attempts to do so it finally allowed me access.
"SELFIE" I shouted holding my phone out in front of us making sure to have us both in the frame. "Smile"
Pulling the cheesiest smile I could I snapped the phone and looked at it, only to see Barry had pulled some weird face instead of a smile which made me giggle a little. Holding my phone out again, snapping a handful of other, ok maybe around twelve if not more of us pulling a different face for each one before returning my phone back to my clutch. Resting my chin onto my arm again next to Barry's head I began to mumble the lyrics to Taylor Swift's I knew you were trouble into his ear because the lyrics have never been more relevant than at that moment.
All too soon we arrived outside my building, sliding down his back I stood by the main door and searched for my keys which I know are in here somewhere as I've just seen them and my purse isn't that big which means they have to be in here somewhere, there isn't enough places to hide. "Good night Barry" I sang opening the main door by entering the passcode to allow me entrance.
"Don't so fast Latte, I'm making sure you make it into your apartment" he held the door opened ushering me inside before following me.
"Oh my, the neighbours will talk" I hit the button for the elevator deciding it was better than walking up six flight of stairs.
A ding signalled the arrival of the elevator as the door slid open, with Barry's hand in my back he guided me inside as I hit the button for my floor. "You do know I can make it from here" I informed him, did he think I was going to do just sleep in the elevator all night? It wasn't the comfiest of placed but I do want to lie down and soon. I need to sleep so maybe I would have just sunk to the floor and gone to sleep but with his hand still attached to my lower back, I don't think that is a possibility right now.
Arriving at my floor he pushed me out of the elevator and to my apartment door, fiddling with the keys I finally found the key hole making the door swing open in front of me. "I'm home now so good night Barry, I'm sure I can make it from here" I turned to face him placing my hand onto his shoulder.
"I know you can, just doing my job and making sure you got home ok" he looked past me into the apartment. "I should be getting home now"
I nodded and stepped away from him and into my apartment, with a final smile he turned and headed back to the elevator. I stood in the doorway of my apartment watching him. "Oh Barry" I said, kicking my shoes of inside my apartment before trying my best to run down the hallway to him before he stepped into the elevator without falling over.
"What's up?" he turned to look at me with a worried look on his face.
"You forgot your jacket" I untied it from around my waist and held it out to him. I don't know how fair he has to walk home and I don't want him getting cold not when he carried me all the way here just to make sure I got home ok.
"Keep it, it's an excuse for me to see you again" he winked pushing my hand back down to my side as the elevator doors closed again.
"Well thank you for carrying me home" I looked down at my bare feet not knowing what else to say but knew thanking him is probably the lamest thing I could have done.
"My pleasure, now go to bed and drink plenty of water" he pressed the elevator button again making the doors open instantly.
I nodded my head ok to let him I know I heard what he said, with one last smile he turned to face the elevator to get in but my arm grabbed his stopping him from doing so. "Is everything ok?" he turned another worried gaze to me.
"Fine, I just want to try something"
Looking at his confused face, placing my hand at the back of his neck I pulled him down to my height as I pressed my lips against his while fisting my other hand into the white button down shirt to pull him closer. A couple of seconds passed, the longest seconds I've ever known and Barry stood frozen until he finally started to kiss me back, his hand grabbing my hip pulling me closer to him while the other cupped my jaw, with a sigh I relaxed against his body while he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth taking the kiss to the next level. Spinning us around, he pushed my hard against the wall beside the elevator causing a moan to escape my lips as he pushed his body onto mine, trapping me between him and the wall. Releasing his shirt from my grip I threaded my fingers in his hair lightly tugging at the ends while my other remained around his neck holding his jacket.
Coming to my senses and realising what I had done I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him backwards a step to put a little space between us. "Wow, interesting" I spoke breathless before scurrying back to my apartment and closing the door behind me without looking back at him. Leaning against the back of the door I took a couple of deep breaths trying to get my head around what had happen but hoping he didn't knock on my door because I don't know what I'd do if he did.
I didn't mean to kiss him, I went to give him his jacket back and nothing more so why I kissed him I don't know but the reaction my body had to him, towards that kiss. My heart rate has increased - my breathing rapid and the throbbing between my legs that can't be ignored.
I want to kick myself; I wish I could because a new relationship isn't part of the plan. I came here to get away from relationships and then Barry runs into my life, literally runs into my life and now I can't stop thinking about him. He's annoying, arrogant and cocky to name a few but I have the urge to see him every day and I don't like it and I defiantly do not like him or so I tell myself but I can still feel the tingle on my lips from his, I can still feel the grip of his hand on my hip where he held me and the softest touch of my jaw, not to mention the feel of his body pressed to mine and it makes me want more – need more.
I hoped you liked it… please tell me the truth.
As you can see for those who read Bombshell this fic is moving a lot faster.
I hope you now see why I spilt the chapter into two because if I didn't then it would have been between 6000 – 7000 words.
