AReiss2145 – he probably is singing that, I saw your tweet on twitter and it made me laugh because it's true and no it's defiantly not the last believe me, I know you've waiting all night for this chapter and it's taken me a while to post it due to being distracted on twitter so I'll let you get on with it… enjoy.
Guest – if anything he's only going to get more into her system and it's no longer a drunken mistake and I think things are only going to escalate from there.

Snowb4rry01 – oh they'll be talking alright aha.
Guest – enjoy the next chapter, nothing else to say
Foreveryoung07 – she thinks it will get him out of her system by trying it out and then she'll be satisfied but of course she will want him more, that's why it makes good reading… joke
Jujurego – thank you I hope you continue to like it.
Guest - so what you're saying is Barry should make Caitlin jealous?
WARNINGS … language and a little something that isn't exactly PG …
You've been warned, so don't say I didn't warn you.
Taking a deep breath I waked into the CCPD and looked around me, I have no idea where Barry is but I need to find him and I just hope he is working today because since the moment I met him he spend more time at my work place than his own. When I decided to come here I thought it would be easy to find him, I'd just listen out for his annoying voice and I will find him but looking at the size of the building it's going to take more than that to find him.
"Can I help you miss?" a male in plain clothing walked up to me, no doubt noticing the confused look on my face and decided I needed help.
"I'm looking for Barry Allen" I replied looking around me for any sign of him but getting no.
"You know Barry?" the man asked almost interested in why I wanted Barry.
"Yes – well not really, it's complicated" I replied as I didn't know the answer to his question. I've met Barry but do I really know him – no I don't really know him but a cop is going to think it's weird I'm looking for Barry and I don't know him, like I said complicated.
"Sounds like our Barry" the man laughed shaking his head. "I'm detective Joe West Barry's uncle" he held his hand out to me.
"Dr Caitlin Snow" I took his out stretched hand. "You're Iris's dad and Barry's uncle?" I questioned as both of them are West's but I still don't know how that makes him Barry's uncle.
"You know Iris and I've been friends with Barry's dad since before our kids were born so I'm more of an honouree uncle" he explained another laugh escaping him.
"I work for Dr Allen, so can you point me in the direction I need to go?" I asked wanting to get this over with so I can get on with my own life.
"Right you're here for Barry, sign in at the desk then take the stairs to the first floor, take a right and it's the door at the end of the hallway" he pointed towards the stairs. "If you get lost there are enough people here to help you"
"Thank you Detective West, it was nice meeting you" I smiled walking towards the desk to sign in.
"You too Dr Snow, I'll tell Iris I saw you" I nodded and gave him a little wave before signing into the visitors book.
Once signed in I made my way towards the stairs and followed the instructions given as they are not that hard to follow. Arrive outside door I gave myself a mental pep talking, something I've been doing more and more off lately when it comes to Barry and knocked on the door.
"Come in" his deep voice replied from the other side of the door.
'At least he's here' the voice in my head said but the detective would have told me if he wasn't here. Sliding the large metal door open I stepped into his lab and searched the room with my eyes for Barry. My eyes finally landed on him, slumped in a chair behind a desk while he looked at something on his computer.
"Latte?" he questioned looking confused, his voice no doubt mirroring mine as I still don't know why I decided to do this but I'm here now and I can't turn around and leave not now he's seen me.
"Hi" I smiled awkwardly deciding now that this is probably the worst idea I've ever had in my life, including the time I thought I could fly when I was seven and jumped out of my tree house only to end up in the emergency room with a broken arm, not one of my finest moment but I was young and foolish back then and that was also the day I gave up on my dream of flying as it only led to pain and broken bones.
"What are you doing here?" he asked trying to tied his desk of takeout containers and chocolate wrappers which I found myself smiling at for some unknown reason but then Barry always makes me smile as much as I hate to admit it, he makes me smile even when I'm annoyed and pissed at him – he still makes me smile at the same time.
"I wanted to return this to you" I opened my purse and pulled his jacket out and held it out to him.
The jacket that is probably the warmest thing I've ever worn but defiantly not the same jacket I may or may not have worn all last night while sat on the sofa reading and watching reality TV in or The same jacket that smells of Barry of his cologne - Not that jacket because I didn't wear it on the sofa and I don't know what it smells like.
"Thank but you didn't have to come all the way here" he stood up taking the jacket from me and throwing it over the back of his chair.
"If I had known you would have been at dinner yesterday I would have brought it with me" I played with my finger wanting to be anywhere else but here right now, the idea of trying to fly again sounds a lot more appealing than this. I should have just given the jacket back to Dr Allen to give to Barry but then he might have asked why I had it and then I would have to explain but it's still a better option than this.
"There wasn't any rush, it could have waited – do you want to sit down by the way. I have coffee if you want one" he asked finally realising we're stood in the middle of his lab.
"No thank you to both, I'm not staying" I smiled looking around his lab, for a lab assistant his lab is a lot bigger than expected. "I want to return it while I remembered" I lied.
The real reason I am returning it is because I have decided to get rid of everything that reminds me of Barry out of my life, well as much as I can his father and latte's will have to stay and having his jacket lay on the back of the sofa wasn't helping and the urge that I gave into to wear it just made it worse as it surrounded me in memories and the scent of him, not helpful when you're trying to forget about someone and get them out of your system.
"Thanks for returning my jacket I guess" he shrugged looking around the room; I followed his eyes wondering what he was trying to find but found nothing.
"Bye then" I turned and headed for the door.
"Wait" Barry came towards me making me pause in the doorway.
Reaching around me he slid the door closed making me freeze on the spot. "W-w-why?" I stuttered something I've never done before in my life, so not only does he control me without trying he now makes me nervous. 'What is happening to me' I asked myself, how can he change who I am for no reason what so ever. Reaching behind me again he flicks the lock, locking us inside his lab.
"I want to ask you something?"
"Then why did you lock the door?" I turned around to face him again but wish I hadn't due to how close he stood to me, his scent surrounding me, his minty breath hitting my face.
"Because I'm sick of you always running away from me so I'm making it harder for you to do so" he replied his voice echoing through my mind.
Swallowing hard I lifted my eyes to meet his. "What do you want to ask me?"
"I want to know what you want from me" he replied staring back at me which confused me.
"I don't know what you mean" I replied wondering what he could mean, I've never asked him for anything so why would I want something from him.
"You keep sending me mixed signals, one minute you're kissing me then the next you're running away as if you've just kissed the devil, telling me it was a mistake. I don't know what you want from me" he explained throwing his arms up into the air sighing.
"I don't want anything from you" I told him as I don't want anything from him, kissing his was a mistake - a really big mistake.
My mind convinces me it's a good idea then throws up warning signs telling me it's dangerous. I don't want Barry; I don't want anything from him. I just want to get on with my life and my work. I don't want any man in my life; I've had my heart broken to many times to go back down that road again. I'm happy alone and if I get lonely then I can get a pet, a relationship of any kind is a bad idea and everything about Barry tells me I'm, heading down heartbreak lane once again which I why I need to distance myself from him, to remove everything that reminds me of him from my life and to forget he exists because every time I am around him he drag me in deeper and makes me doubt myself on what I want.
"Then why do you keep giving me mixed signals. You kiss me as if you're never going to see me again then run away as if you need holy water to save you. I'm not the devil Caitlin" he said taking me by surprise by calling me by my real name and once again he's drawing me into his spell, the way he said my name sounded like silk on his tongue. He makes me want to stand and listen to him say it over and over again which just confirms that he is dangerous.
"You're dangerous" the words fell from my mouth, my thoughts turning to physical words that hung in the air.
"How am I dangerous?" he asked almost as if he couldn't believe what I was saying but in my mind he is dangerous and I need to stay away from him.
"YOU JUST ARE" I snapped wanting nothing more than to leave and get some fresh air. I looked up at the sky light at the sky and sighed as we fell into a silence, Barry no doubt trying to figure out what I'm talking about, whereas I'm just trying to get my thoughts in order.
"Have dinner with me" he blurted out, breaking the silence.
"What?" I questioned wondering if I had heard him correctly, snapping my head back down to look at him.
"Have dinner with me and you will see that I am not dangerous" he shrugged as it if was the best idea ever which it isn't, I'd probably end up stabling him with a steak knife or throwing my food at him, I may have gotten thought dinner last night but that is because his parents were there stopping him from saying or doing anything to piss me off or annoy me. A dinner alone with him is just a terrible idea.
"No" I shot back without even thinking about it.
"No?" he questioned as if it was the wrong answer.
"No" I confirmed just so he got the point that the last thing I will be doing is having dinner with him.
"Why?" he questioned, narrowing his eyes at me, no doubt trying to figure out which mind game to try on me next.
"Because you're annoying, irritating, you piss me the hell off with your cocky attitude and smart mouth and it makes me want to strangle you" and now my filter has upped roots and moved to the dark side because all my thoughts are spilling out of my mouth and I can't stop it
"And you're challenging, you're a tease and you drive me fucking insane" he shot back
"You're a bastard" I glared at him, my breathing escalating as my rage increased.
"And you're a bitch" He lunged at me, pushing me up against the door with a thud his body holding me in place while his hands held my hips and his lips attacked mine with force. Fisting his sweater in my hands I pulled him closer, meeting his force.
Barry's hands slips down to the back of my thighs lifting me off the floor, wrapping my legs around his waist and using the door for support I opened my mouth allowing him access while his hands ran up my thighs making my skirt ride up to around my waist. Releasing his sweater from my grip I moved my hand into his hair, pulling hard to release some of my anger and to tilt his head back to allow me better access to his mouth. Barry let out a deep growl at my force, his hands moved to my ass squeezing just as hard as I pulled at his hair, his hips grinding against mine making a moan escape my lips.
Pulling away for air, resting the back of my head against the door breathing heavy, his lips moved to my neck his teeth lightly nipping at my skin making me moan again. I know I should stop him, I should stop this but I can't I'm in far too deep now, to the point where I'm drowning in Barry that I want more – need more from him.
"You drive me fucking insane" he groaned against my skin. The vibration of his words against my skin heading south right between my thighs turning me on even more than I already was, humming as I reply I lifted his head up so my lips could meet his again.
His teeth sank lightly into my bottom lips tugging at it making me moan once again, I grinded my hips against his earning a growl in return as I tightened my legs around his waist. Finally coming to my sense as to where we were, I placed my hands onto his shoulders and pushing him backwards lightly so he released my lips.
"What's wrong?" he asked searching my face for an answer.
"We're in your labs at work that's what" unwrapping my legs from around his waist and slid down the door to the floor, once safely back on the floor, I pull my skirt back down my cheek reddening at what had just happened.
"I guess you do have a point" he laughed looking around us, finally realising where we was.
"I have to go" I looked at my watch noticing my lunch hour ended almost ten minutes ago. Unlocking the door, sliding it open I left Barry's lab and him behind but the wetness between my legs I couldn't leave behind unfortunately, 'the afternoon is going to be very uncomfortable' the voice in my head said as I headed for the stairs.
"SO DINNER?" I heard Barry shout behind me.
"NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN"
