Iris seemed distracted during work, constantly getting orders wrong, zoning out when people would ask her something.
"You okay?" Joanna once asked her when they were closing up, placing a firm hand on her shoulder. "You've been cleaning that same spot for five minutes now."
Iris snapped her head up. "Yeah, I'm just thinking."
"About?" Joanna pried.
"Someone."
"Someone? Ooh la la. Tell me everything." Joanna pulled Iris' arm towards a table.
"I don't exactly want to share this information with you."
"So, does this mean you and Eddie have broken up?" Joanna may have shown a little too much excitement in that question.
Iris' eyes widened. "Oh crap, I haven't talked to him in days."
"Are you cheating on Eddie?" Joanna blurted a little too loudly.
"Oh God, no!"
"So you're mind cheating on him?"
Iris blushed. "I wouldn't exactly say anything could happen between us."
"Oh. My. God! You have it in for Barry! Oh thank God! I thought you two would never realize your feelings! Go for it! Geez, I had a bet going with Elise that it would be sometime this-"
"Woah! Joanna. No. It isn't Barry."
A sad looked etched on Joanna's face. "Damn, girl. I figured you would be smart enough to nab him before someone else does."
Iris paused for a moment.
"Do you know any names that start with B?"
"You mean like Barry?"
"Jojo! Drop Barry for a moment. B names? Any come to mind?"
"Uh. Bradley?"
"Eh, he doesn't seem like a Bradley."
"Hold up, you don't know his name?"
"I mean..." Iris shifted uncomfortably in her chair.
"So you're online flirting with this guy, and nothing can happen between you two because, what, he lives in another state?" She guessed.
Iris looked around the room for a moment. "No. Not exactly."
"What the actual hell? You really need to clarify this with me."
"Lately…" Iris fiddled with her fingers. "I've been having late night rendezvous with The Flash." Iris' cheeks were red-hot.
Joanna's jaw dropped, she opened and closed her mouth a couple times but no words came out.
"Oh God. Please say something, Jojo." Iris whined, rubbing the back of her neck with her hand.
"You..." She squeaked. "You..."
"Okay, I'm going to get out of here before I die." Iris stood up and left Jitters, she pulled out her phone and posted a note on her blog.
Can we meet?
Iris just couldn't help herself. It was like she was addicted to him, and couldn't go more than a day without seeing his masked face.
"Darn you, Flash." She muttered under her breath before being sped up onto the roof.
