Title: New Attraction
Language: English
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own the Flash or I'd be starring in it as Barry's girlfriend/fiancée/wife, etc. I don't own The Vampire Diaries either :(... Yeah I know life sucks :(!
Summary: Barry is in love with Iris. Then a new girl shows up, with secrets. Now he's confused. (I know there are loads of stories with this plot but please give it a chance :)! )
A/N: I'm not up to date with The Flash yet :( so there may be some mistakes that's why it doesn't follow the series plot line according to the Superhero things...
Pairings: Barry/OC Barry/Iris Iris/Eddie and more. Give suggestions and/or prompts.
Rating: T for very suggestive language use and possible making out.
I'd like to just point out once again that Grant Gustin (sadly don't own :(! ) is freaking hot and his voice is addictive! I seriously can't get over his performances of Uptown Girl, Glad You Came and Smooth Criminal on Glee - All of which I don't own :( !
Author's Note: Oh My God! Oh My God! Holy Crap! I love you guys :)! Your reviews were amazing and I was grinning so much while and after I was reading/read them that it freaked my brother out!
1. Theflashaddict (guest): Thank you for the review :)! Congratulations on being my first reviewer!
2. highlander348: Yes she does :) ! I'm trying to decide if I should add the Supernatural into the equation or keep it normal (And by normal like Barry :)!) so review and tell me what you think!
3. Guest (guest): I was smiling so much when I read your review :)! Thank you for the review :)! He probably would as I'm currently watch Glee and I was actually going to stop watch after Finn leaves but now I can't because Sebastian is there :D! I totally loved Seb in Glee so it was actually part of my inspiration :)! Look out for my Glee fanfic , it's Sebtana, I just had to write it after watching the episode 'Michael' and seeing the 'Smooth Criminal' duet. I could practically feel the sexual tension between Grant and Naya (Sebastian and Santana).
4. Judhia: Thank you and thanks for reading my stories :)! Love all your reviews and this one was even more amazing than usual and I didn't know that was possible :)!
5. Guest: Thanks for the review and the compliments :)!
Well this is Chapter 2 guys :) Because 5 reviews :D! Hope you like it and don't forget to review :)! Next chapter will be the big reveal on what kind of powers she has! Well to us anyway. Not Barry, yet!
Previously on New Attraction.
Ashmi's POV
"Well Iris said to tell you that we're all going out for drinks, she's also inviting some new girl in town named Ashmi." The guys says and then I realize he's talking about me and he must be Eddie whom Iris mentioned in a text.
"That would be me. I met Iris at the coffee shop this morning. Just tell her to text me, okay? I have to leave now though, there's still some stuff to unpack." I say to Eddie and Barry. "Bye Eddie, nice to meet you," I say in a friendly tone. "Bye Barry," I say with a wink and then strut out of the room.
I head off to my apartment and look at the boxes. There is no way I'm unpacking all of this. I grab one of the boxes with clothing. I'm sure I'll find something to wear in this.
Barry's POV
I get home and search my closet. Is it bad that I want to impress a girl I just met this badly? I grab some black skinny jeans and a black leather jacket with a pair of black all star sneakers. Now just to pick a shirt. Damn! I wonder what her favourite colours is? I guess I'll go with black. It's universal right? But isn't that too much black? What about blue? Yes! Navy Blue! It's classy.
I wonder if I should get her something? I can't get flowers because that would imply it's a date. So what do I get? Oh right! Coffee!
I get to the coffee shop where Iris always goes, because they met there. Oh crap! Iris is going to be there WITH Eddie. Should I get her something too? Can I get her something? I probably shouldn't. I sigh and walk into the coffee shop. There's a perky blonde there whose name tag reads Erica.
"Hi! How can I help you?" Erica says perkily. Damn! Does she really need to shout? "Hi I'm Barry Allen. My friend was here earlier and she ordered a coffee. It had a lot of cream and she was really pretty and she bought one cup and had the other one delivered..." I start rambling.
"Oh! I remember her! She ordered One white coffee with extra foam and extra cream and a spoon with it for the cream. Then we offered her an extra cup for half price and she had the first order delivered!" Erica replies cheerily.
"Great!" I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Can you give me the white coffee with extra foam and extra cream with the spoon? To go?" I say excitedly.
She nods and goes to make the coffee. She returns after a few minutes and hands me a bag with coffee. "I put an extra coffee in there for you. And good luck with the girl!" She says with a wink and a cheeky smile.
Chapter 2: Clubs and Exes
Ashmi's POV
I have a shower and grab something to eat then I look at the contents of the box I emptied.
What to wear? What to wear? What to wear? I groan as I look at my clothes but there is no way I'm opening another box. I guess the stuff in here will have to do.
I slip on a navy blue dress that hugs my figure. The back is slightly deep but not deep enough to show anything. The front is almost plain shiny navy coloured material except for slight sequin boarder at the top of the dress. It ends at my knees so isn't too short or too long. And has silky straps that don't look like straps but are... I wonder if Barry likes blue? What if he doesn't? What if he hates it? Not that it matters or anything!
I'm about to grab my black leather jacket when a text from Iris comes telling me that she'll come pick me up, so I text her my address.
1514 Reynold Roads, Alexis Apartments, Apartment 2502 on Floor 23. Don't worry I'll walk down just miss call when you're here :).
I lightly apply my make-up so it's there to cover blemishes but isn't really that visible to an untrained eye. I apply a slight pink/red blush and some light pink lipstick. I do a smokey black eyeshadow thing on my eye and apply some eyeliner, but no mascara. I check my teeth and face in the mirror. I shrug and grab some strap black heels with a diamond pattern. Thin heels because they look better than the thick ones but not too think that they hurt my feet... Too much anyway. But you know what they say, no pain no gain.
I'm about to check what I'm missing when I get a miss call on my phone. I grab my navy blue purse and rush down the stairs. Not like I'm eager to see Barry or anything! Pssh! No way!
Barry's POV
I can't believe I got stuck riding with Eddie. Turns out Iris wanted us to 'bond' so she stuck us in a cab together and texted she'd fetch Ashmi. Great two bad things to come of tonight. I really hope our coffees don't get cold!
As we wait outside for the girls to arrive I ponder on how I should greet them. Should I be like, "Hey ladies," or "Sup," "Hello," or "Evening girls."
Their cab arrives and Iris walks out looking really pretty in a short red dress. Damn! Maybe I should have worn red! Then I realized that would have been totally wrong, because Ashmi steps out looking stunning. She is in a navy sparkle dress that reaches her knees and the sexiest strap stilettos I have ever seen. Her make-up; except for the eyeshadow, lipstick and blush; was so light that I almost didn't notice it.
"Hi Barry," She says to me brightly with a smile.
My jaw drops and all that leaves my mouth is, "Wow!"
She bites her lip again and it just makes her hotter. I'm still wide eyed and I can't take my eyes off of her. She turns around and pays the cab driver before facing me again, "Shall we?"
"Oh uh yeah," I manage to mumble out. I figured I should compliment her so I did, or tried to anyway.
"You look amazing in that dress. You should wear dresses more often. Not that you don't look amazing when you're not wearing a dress. That's not what I'm saying a-" I start rambling. Great Barry! Great!
She cuts me off from my rant, "Thanks Barry." And then we walk over to Iris and Eddie.
"You look great Ashmi," Eddie says in a polite and friendly tone. It'd better be just polite and friendly! "Thanks," She says. "See I told you!" Iris exclaims smugly. Ashmi rolls her eyes and tugs on my hand, "Let's just go in."
Then she notices the package in my hand. "Hey what's that?" She asks curiously. "Oh, well I figured I owed you a coffee," I say grinning.
"It was actually pretty much all my fault, but who am I to turn down free coffee?" Ashmi says matching my grin. I take out the cup and a spoon. "It's a white coffee, extra foam and extra cream," I hand it to her before taking a bow. "How'd you know?" She looks surprised. "I have my ways," I smirk. She raises her eyebrow. "Okay I might have asked the girl who served you," I mutter embarrassed. She's about to say something when Iris and Eddie interrupt and tug us inside the club.
Ashmi's POV
Iris and I are in the cab. I wonder what I should say when we reach there. Should I be casual or intellectual or ... Too late, we're here. I'll just go with "Hi!"
Iris told me I looked great but she was totally rocking it in that red dress and I'm pretty sure Barry likes her.
I step out looking stunning. I am in a navy sparkle dress that reaches my knees and strap stilettos. I see Barry. Damn! He looks so fine in those black skinny jeans and that leather jacket is so hot. Not to mention the navy blue which is classy and sexy at the same time. He has the sexy grin on his face and those sparkling green eyes focused on me.
"Hi Barry," I say to him brightly with a smile trying not to show my attraction to him or let him know I'm smiling at the face that we're matching.
His jaw drops and all that leaves his mouth is, "Wow!"
I feel like giggling and I bite my lip again, it's such an annoying habit! He's still wide eyed and he can't take his eyes off of me. But I don't want to take mine off of him either. I turn around before I start blushing red and pay the cab driver before facing him again, with me being more composed than before, "Shall we?"
"Oh uh yeah," He mumbles out. He then complimented me. Or tried to anyway.
"You look amazing in that dress. You should wear dresses more often. Not that you don't look amazing when you're not wearing a dress. That's not what I'm saying a-" I start rambling. I feel like giggling while his face turns just a little more pink.
I cut him off from his rant, "Thanks Barry." And then we walk over to Iris and Eddie.
"You look great Ashmi," Eddie says in a polite and friendly tone. "Thanks," I say back nicely. "See I told you!" Iris exclaims smugly. I roll my eyes and tug on Barry's hand, "Let's just go in."
Then I notice a package in his hand. "Hey what's that?" I ask curiously. "Oh, well I figured I owed you a coffee," He says grinning.
"It was actually pretty much all my fault, but who am I to turn down free coffee?" I say matching his grin. Never thought I'd be thankful for spilling coffee!
He takes out a cup and a spoon. "It's a white coffee, extra foam and extra cream," He hands it to me before taking a bow.
"How'd you know?" I feel surprised and I'm sure I looked surprised too. "I have my ways," He smirks. I raise my eyebrow at him waiting for the truth. "Okay I might have asked the girl who served you," He mutters embarrassed. I'm about to tell him how sweet that is when Iris and Eddie interrupt and tug us inside the club.
We enter and I drink my coffee, finishing it so quick that nobody noticed I had one. Barry finished his too. They ask for orders. Eddie says, "One beer and a white wine for my lady." He looks towards me and Barry.
"Uh I'll have a beer too," He says then looks towards me unsurely and finishes questioningly, "And she'll have a red wine?"
"You're wrong about this one," I say smugly to him before turning to the bartender and saying politely, "Double Scotch, Neat."
"Are you sure madam?" The guy looks at me shocked. "Did I stutter?" I say back with a raised eyebrow. Two can play at that game.
Barry, Eddie and Iris look at me questioningly so I say with, "Don't worry Scotch doesn't get me drunk. I'm pretty sure it's in my blood by now. It's an hereditary trait or something."
They laugh and Iris says, "So tell us about you! What's your favourite animal, car -"
"Ooh I have an idea," Eddie exclaims excitedly cutting her off, "We can choose a topic - like favourite animal - and all of us answer the question. What do you say?"
"I'll play," Iris says. Barry looks towards me. "I'm in," I say. "Me too," He says.
"First topic is Favourite animal," Eddie says.
"Zebra," Iris says. "Elephant!" Eddie says. "Well a shark and a lion or leopard." Barry says. "This one is easy. Aqua based - It would be dolphin. Land based - Jungle Cats: like leopards, lions, tigers, cheetahs." I say.
"We can continue this game on a night we don't have alcohol. Let's play never have I ever!" Iris says and orders the shots before anyone can object.
"Okay never have I ever got fired!" Iris says looking towards Barry with a smirk, but to her surprise there were three shots downed. We look at Barry. "It was an accident!" He exclaims, "I was working in the school Chemistry lab as an assistant... And it might have blown up."
Eddie, Iris and I start laughing uncontrollably and after rolling his eyes Barry joins us. "Never have I ever got caught making out with a guy by my dad."
Iris downs a shot and says, "Ninth grade, Will Thompson." I down my shot too. They look towards me. "My dad's arch enemy's son, kinda why I got fired. My ex boyfriend and in twelfth grade with Logan Matthews. So half the times father was actually present in my life," I shrugged.
Eddie's phone beeps and he turns to Iris and says, "Honey we have to go." Iris nods and looks towards me, "You're okay to go home right?" "Yeah," I smile at her.
"I guess it's just the two of us," Barry grinned. "Yeah I guess it is," I wink before getting up and strutting over to the bar.
Barry's POV
We both finish our coffees. Damn! I was kinda of looking forward to the cream again. They ask for orders. Eddie says, "One beer and a white wine for my lady." He looks towards me and Ashmi.
"Uh I'll have a beer too," I say then look towards her unsurely and finish, "And she'll have a red wine?" I wasn't sure. All I knew about what she drank is her favourite coffee.
"You're wrong about this one," She says smugly to me before turning to the bartender and saying politely, "Double Scotch, Neat." I was shocked. She just ordered a Scotch and a double neat one at that. Does she know how strong that is?
"Are you sure madam?" The guy looks at her shocked. "Did I stutter?" She says back with a raised eyebrow. Was I gaping again?
Eddie, Iris and I look at her questioningly and she says, "Don't worry Scotch doesn't get me drunk. I'm pretty sure it's in my blood by now. It's an hereditary trait or something."
We laugh and Iris says, "So tell us about you! What's your favourite animal, car -"
"Ooh I have an idea," Eddie exclaims excitedly cutting her off, "We can choose a topic - like favourite animal - and all of us answer the question. What do you say?"
"I'll play," Iris says. I look at her. If she's in, I'm in. "I'm in," She says. "Me too," I say.
"First topic is Favourite animal," Eddie says. Boring!
"Zebra," Iris says. "Elephant!" Eddie says. "Well a shark and a lion or leopard." I say. "This one is easy. Aqua based - It would be dolphin. Land based - Jungle Cats: like leopards, lions, tigers, cheetahs." She says.
"We can continue this game on a night we don't have alcohol. Let's play never have I ever!" Iris says and orders the shots before anyone can object.
"Okay never have I ever got fired!" Iris says looking toward me with a smirk, but to her and my surprise there were three shots downed not just mine. They look at me. "It was an accident!" I exclaim, "I was working in the school Chemistry lab as an assistant... And it might have blown up."
Eddie, Iris and Ashmi start laughing uncontrollably and after rolling my eyes I join them. "Never have I ever got caught making out with a guy by my dad." I say. Take that Iris!
Iris downs a shot and says, "Ninth grade, Will Thompson." Ashmi downs her shot too. We look at her. "My dad's arch enemy's son, kinda why I got fired. My ex boyfriend and in twelfth grade with Logan Matthews. So half the times father was actually present in my life," She shrugs.
Eddie's phone beeps and he turns to Iris and says, "Honey we have to go." Iris nods and looks towards Ashmi, "You're okay to go home right?" "Yeah," She smiles at her.
"I guess it's just the two of us," I grin thinking, 'Finally!'
"Yeah I guess it is," She winks before getting up and strutting over to the bar. I sit back and watch her hips sway as she struts, before following her to the bar.
She's about to order something when the bartender hands her a glass of red wine. She looks confused and says, "I think you're mistaken, I didn't order this."
"The guy over there sent it to you," the bartender says before pointing to a man sitting on a bar stool. He holds up his drink to her and she looks angry, before her face turns expressionless. The man had blonde hair and I thought he was downright creepy, but that could have been the jealousy speaking... Not that I'm jealous or something. She sips her glass of scotch and I ask her, "Who's that?"
She gulps down the rest before replying, "My ex boyfriend, Lucas Scott. Asshole extraordinaire. Dating the busty blonde next to him, that's apparently better than me because he cheated on me with her."
"Please you can see she's fake from the back and front without even looking. Plus he's an idiot for cheating on you. That's just plain stupid, like he needs to get his head checked stupid." I say seriously and she giggles.
"That he does," She agrees before continuing, "I just wish there was some way I could make him jealous, shove it in his face, you know?"
"Kiss me," I blurt out, shocked at my own bluntness. She nearly chokes on her drink, "What?"
With new found confidence I say, "Well you wanted to make him jealous right? And this will do it. Okay?"
Then she says something I never expected, "Okay"
Holy Crap! What did I just do?! Now we're going to kiss! What if I do it wrong? How do you kiss again?!
Ashmi's POV
I'm about to order something when the bartender hands me a glass of red wine. I'm confused, who would get me this? I say, "I think you're mistaken, I didn't order this."
"The guy over there sent it to you," the bartender says before pointing to a man sitting on a bar stool. He holds up his drink to me and I get angry, before my face turns expressionless. Years of covering my emotions have done me well. What the hell is he doing here? That bastard! The blonde haired man that is staring at me smugly is none other than him. I sip my glass of scotch and Barry asks me, "Who's that?"
I debate on what I should tell him. The truth or should I just keep it to myself. Before I could realize what a mistake it is, I make a decision.
I gulp down the rest before replying bitterly, "My ex boyfriend, Lucas Scott. Asshole extraordinaire. Dating the busty blonde next to him, that's apparently better than me because he cheated on me with her."
"Please you can see she's fake from the back and front without even looking. Plus he's an idiot for cheating on you. That's just plain stupid, like he needs to get his head checked stupid." He says seriously and I giggle. All of it was true, but it was nice to hear someone else say it for a change.
"That he does," I agree before continuing with a sigh, "I just wish there was some way I could make him jealous, shove it in his face, you know?"
"Kiss me," He blurts out. He looks surprised at himself and I nearly choke on my drink, "What?"
He looks more confident and says, "Well you wanted to make him jealous right? And this will do it. Okay?"
I really didn't expect this, but he makes a good point too and I can't deny he doesn't look kissable right now. Before I can stop myself I blurt out, "Okay"
Holy Crap! What did I just do?! 'Oh my god, Lucas is looking this way. Just kiss him already you idiot!' I think.
He leans forward and I lean forward and our lips meet. His lips are really soft and kissable. There's that word again! Is that even a word?
They taste like my favourite coffee and cream drink with a hint of beer which is covered more distinctly by minty toothpaste.
His hands find my waste, gripping me firmly and pulling me against him. My hands going into his perfectly coiffed hair, roaming and searching.
We kiss fervently and I forget we're pretending. I forget this isn't real. I forget about Lucas and the blonde bimbo. I forget about everything being new. I forget about the drama. I forget about the past. And most of all I forget about the secrets.
His tongue traces across my teeth and I gives him enterance. Not like I could refuse him. He nips at my bottom lip and I gasp at the sensation. I break the kiss because I'm out of breath. 'He literally took my breath away,' I think with a giggle.
Barry's POV
I lean forward and she leans forward and our lips meet. His lips are really soft and sweet.
They taste like her favourite coffee and cream drink with a hint of raspberries which is covered slightly by the scent of scotch.
My hands find her waste, gripping her firmly and pulling her against me. Her hands go into my hair, roaming and searching, most probably messing it up but at this moment in time I don't particularly care.
We kiss fervently and I forget we're pretending. I forget this isn't real. I forget about the fact we're doing to make creepy blond and his plastic girlfriend jealous. I forget about the fact that we just met. I forget about the drama. I forget about the past. And most of all I forget about the secrets.
My tongue traces across his teeth and she gives me enterance. I nip at her bottom lip and she gasps at the sensation. She breaks the kiss in need of oxygen and I realize I need it too. She took my breath away in more ways than one.
We were both so busy gazing into each other's eyes, me into her deep brown and her into my green, that we didn't notice a creepy blonde and his fake ass girlfriend walking up to us.
Author's Note: so what do you guys think? Tell me in a review :)!
