I sat at my desk Monday morning, nervously clicking my pen. In front of me were my final paperwork to give to the Professors for my Doctorate. I had an interview with them Friday and if all went well, I would officially have a PhD in Mechanical engineering. I didn't even notice Cisco walk in. "Hey miss spazz, wanna come with Barry and I to lunch? Caitlin's off doing her thing, but Iris will be there."

I squeezed my eyes shut, not wanting to mess up my eye makeup. "Yeah, I could use the break. The usual place?"

He nodded and held his hand out to me. I grabbed it and stood up. I turned to grab my purse and from the corner of my eye I could see his head shift slightly. I lingered as if my purse straps weren't right to confirm my theory. Yep. Looking at my ass. "Enjoying yourself?" I could see his head snap back and he was suddenly looking at my paperwork. I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Come on, we've got things to do" I playfully said to him. I could see him bite his lip, embarrassed he got caught. We walked down to the small diner and sat down with Barry and Iris. "Hey lover boy and lovin' gal."

I rolled my eyes and turned to Iris. "Are his jokes usually this bad?" She laughed and agreed, "some days worse than others!"

We made small talk, enjoying the company as we ate. I have to say, I really enjoyed Iris's company. I found myself talking more to her than anyone else. As we all put in our part for lunch, Iris turned to me. "We should hang out sometime! There's this nice strip mall that has everything imaginable in it!"

Cisco leaned back, "oh big surprise, the women get together by shopping."

I smacked his stomach. "What yourself or I'll just lock my door Saturdays!"

Barry smirked. "Oh no, don't deny Cisco of his very needs!"

I rolled my eyes and could see Cisco trying to think of a comeback, though I beat him to one. "Oh please you mean my collection of video games and the consoles that go with them?"

Barry snorted and nodded slowly. "Exactly what I meant."

It was time. Friday was here and I could barely keep myself from shaking. I chose my most proper outfit, a deep purple dress shirt and black pencil skirt, and rechecked my forms a million times. I was now sitting outside of an auditorium at the state university, waiting to speak with the council about my doctorate. Everyone was here to support me. Even Barry was here to give support. I rechecked my neutral colored stockings to ensure they were still perfect, no snags. I smoothed my skirt again when Cisco grabbed my hand. "Stop being so nervous, you'll be great! When you walk out that room I'll have to start calling you Doctor Lucielle. Maybe even.. The doctor.."

I half heartedly laughed. I know he was trying to make me feel better, but nothing could sooth my mind right now. Eventually an older man walked in. "Miss Vostrov?"

I quickly walked over, doing my best to calm my breathing.

About 30 minutes later I stepped back out. Everyone looked at me expectantly. I smiled, "they accepted the proposal.."

Everyone cheered and took a turn to hug me. It took a long time for me, but I was going to officially be Dr. Lucielle Vostrov. "I propose we go out and celebrate!"

"I second that Barry? Caitlin?"

She smiled. "I'm in!"

I rolled my eyes and agreed. "One moment first ok?"

I walked over to Dr. Wells. "I have to personally thank you Dr. Wells. If it wasn't for you I may not even be able to be here. You gave me the opportunity to work as a member of a team and challenged me enough to pursue this."

He shook his head. "All I did was give you the tools Lucy. You are very intelligent and had all the abilities to get to this. Congratulations, doctor."

I smiled and hugged him one more time. We all went home to get ready for tonight. I walked in to the apartment and quickly got changed. Cisco was going to pick me up and I wanted to look perfect. I picked out a dark pink halter dress and matching heels with black soles. I put my hair down and added some spray to it. I put on a dark pink lipstick and did a smokey eye. I used my nicest perfume a and right as I was getting my clutch the buzzer went off. I opened the door and Ciscos eyes widened. "What?"

He just smiled. "You look amazing!"

I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand. "Come on! We got people to see!"

We all sat around at the bar, taking our first sips of our drinks. It was one of those clubs where the music is loud and the dance floor was large and full of people. I was sitting close to Cisco, watching the people dance. About the third drink in I was feeling bold. "Cisco, I wanna dance."

He looked over at me surprised. "Really?"

I nodded and grabbed his hand, not even bothering to see what his answer was. Once in a good spot that wasn't unbearable crowded I grabbed onto his shoulders. He held onto my hips and pulled me closer. He looked at me unsure. "I don't really know how to dance.."

I smiled and whispered into his ear, "just follow my lead."

I started moving my hips to the beat and Cisco soon followed along. We were inching closer and closer until we were smooshed together, moving our bodies in synch to each other. I pulled his face to mine. "Let's go to your place."

He looked at me, shocked. "Really?"

I nodded and slightly ground my hips into him. "Viv will be at the apartment. You live alone, correct?"

He nodded and I grabbed his hand. "Come on."

The drive there was intense. Neither of us said anything, but we really didn't need to. Once at his apartment he went to the freezer. "I have jäger, want a shot?"

I gave him an amused look. "Jäger? Didn't see you as a jäger guy."

He shrugged and smiled as he poured two shots. I jumped up on his counter and he walked over, giving me one of the glasses. I downed if fast and felt myself shake as it traveled down. "Holy fuck that's strong."

He laughed and stood in front of me. "It is jäger."

I leaned foreword and kissed him. Hard. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him in closer. He stepped in between my legs and put his hands at the small of my back. I gently pulled at his hair, telling him to tilt his head up, which he did. I kissed along his neck and jawline, kissing and biting gently. He closed the last bit of space between us, causing my dress to hike up to my waist. He caught my lips again and kissed me hard. I moaned a bit into the kiss. Suddenly I was off the counter. I wrapped my legs around his waist and grabbed onto his shoulders. He held my up by placing his hands on my butt. The walk to his room I kept kissing and biting softly on his neck. He kicked the door closed and sat me on the bed. I pulled him close and slipped off his blazer, which he quickly threw to the floor. He straightened up and took his shirt off. In an instant I kissed along his stomach and waistline. He whispered that same word in Spanish as he did last week and grabbed my chin to kiss me again. I bent my arm back and unzipped my dress, wiggling slightly to get it off. I kicked it off my legs and fell backwards. Cisco stood over me, taking me in. I've never been this bare around him before. I don't know if it was the alcohol or the sheer desire, but I wasn't bothered by him staring at me. He crouched down and started kissing along my belly button and slowly up my rib cage to the edge of my bra. I arched my back, hoping he'd catch the hint. It took a moment but my bra was off, tossed along with our other clothes. He took his time, kissing the crevice between my breasts before he finally took one nipple in his mouth. I hissed and arched my back as he sucked gently. He switched to the other nipple, giving it the same treatment. I groaned and tried to reach down at his pants. With his help we got his pants and underwear off. I bit my lip at the sight of him. I needed him even more in that moment. I kissed him hard, slowly snaking my hand around him. He groaned and leaned into my hand more. I stroked him a few times before he grabbed my wrist. He helped me out of my final article of clothing. "We need uhh.."

I shook my head. "I'm on the 5 year shot."

He nodded his head and started kissing along my jawline, slowly sliding his fingers up my slit. I moaned, "tease.."

He kissed me one final time before he entered me. I suddenly pulled my head back and moaned. I could distinctly hear him moan softly as well as he placed his forehead on my shoulder. For only a moment we stayed that way, just feeling each other before I grinded into him. He took the initiative and began to move inside me. I moaned his name out and grabbed onto him, bringing my head in. He sped up and I began to moan more, holding onto his shoulders for dear life. It didn't take long before I felt it coming. I began to moan louder and wrapped my legs around his torso, trying to get him deeper. He sped up even more and in a white flash I came, screaming out an scratching his back. He never stopped thrusting though, and the feeling of him inside me as I came felt blissful. I finally came down from my personal high when he began to thrust harder into me. I grabbed the back of his hair and brought his head close to me. He was panting and moaning softly and I began to kiss his earlobe. He mumbled more to himself, "so.. Close.."

I arched into him and moaned his name and I felt him tense up as he swore. Eventually he slowed to a stop. He fell foreword slightly, his forehead pushed into the pillow next to my head. We were both breathing heavily. I began to gently kiss along his ear and hair. He fell over next to me and brought me close to him. Before I fell asleep I could faintly feel the blanket being pulled over me.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I closed my eyes and relaxed. I felt content and didn't want to wake Cisco. Eventually I felt fidgety so I did my best to not wake him as I got up. I stood up and looked back to see him still sleeping. I smiled, he was so damn cute. I tiptoed to his closet and found his Nintendo controller shirt. I grabbed my underwear and started searching for the bathroom. Once I was inside I quickly used the toilet then started the shower. He didn't have any fancy shampoo and conditioner, but he had stuff to use. I showered quickly and got dressed. I wish I had fresh underwear, but this was better than nothing. I stepped back into the bedroom to see he was still asleep. I went to the kitchen and looked around. There wasn't a lot, but I decided to make due with what was here. I grabbed the last few potatoes, cleaned them, cut out the bad spots and chopped them up. I seasoned them and opened the fridge. There were some eggs, milk and cheese. I scrambled them up with some salt and pepper. About halfway into the cooking of the eggs I heard foot steps.

"Hey you"

I turned around "how do you survive, there's barely any food!"

He shrugged and put his arms around my waist. "Pizza."

I rolled my eyes. "There's more snacks and candy than actual food". I looked back at the stove. "Now move you're butt before the food burns." He walked over to the table and sat down, watching me.

"My mom use to cook like this for me, except you know the part where you're wearing my shirt."

I glanced over. "It's comfier than the dress I have here."

I turned off the burners and grabbed plates. "You have no coffee."

He grabbed silverware from a drawer. "Yeah I usually just get some from the lab or go to Jitters."

I put our plates down and sat down. "What's the plan for today?"

I slowly cut a piece of my egg and took a bite. "I don't know, what were you thinking."

"Well it is Saturday. Do you still want to do our date?" I felt myself smile, relieved that he wanted to still hang out. "Well I'll need to go back to my place for a change of clothes."

He raised his eyebrows playfully. "Or just wear that everywhere."

I threw a piece of potato at him. "Ass"

I put my dress back on and picked up my heels. "Ugh this is going to be embarrassing."

Cisco pursed his lip in an attempt to not smile. "You mean that weeee.."

I rolled my eyes and handed him my heels. "Wanna make it obvious then hold these." I walked fast to his car and went to open the door. Locked. I looked back at Cisco who was leisurely walking. "Are we going to my place or taking a nice walk in the park?"

He smirked and held up his keys, "we could walk through the park."

I bit my tongue. I could kill him. He finally unlocked the door and I sighed as I stepped in. I leaned back and closed my eyes. Cisco stepped in. "You're an asshole."

He grabbed my hand and kissed it. I tried to not smile at him. We drove to my apartment and I trotted up the steps with Cisco on my heels. At the final trek my neither opened her door and stepped out. I nearly fell stopping. "Walk of shame dear?" Cisco stepped up next to me. She looked between us two and smiled again. "Have a nice day Ms. Lots." She laughed softly and waved as she passed by. When we got to the door I heard Cisco snicker. "Shut it Cisco."

He laughed and leaned against the wall as I opened the door. Once in I was face to face with Viv. "Well hello my friend!" She looked behind me and smiled even more. "Well it looks like the walk of shame wasn't quite so shameful!" I groaned and pushed her aside. "Cram it Viv, already got it from Ms. Lots."

She turned at me curiously. "Our old cat lady neighbor." I nodded and walked into my room. Viv walked in with me. "Soooo...?"

I blushed and glanced over, nodding slightly. She looked back at the door then to me and quietly screamed and smacked my back. "Look at you, bouncing back so well!"

I nodded and grabbed my handmade Tardis dress. I grabbed my black flats and sat in front of my make up mirror. "Hold on a moment ok? No more than 5 minutes!" I shouted out towards Cisco. Viv walked to the door. "I'll talk to him, keep him company!" I squinted at her and made the 'I'm watching you' motion.

I sat at the island in the kitchen, lazily checking my phone. Viv was suddenly next to me. "Hey.."

I looked up, "hey!"

She bit her lip. "Ok so how are things with Lucy?"

I gave her a curious look. "I would like to think really good, why did she say otherwise?" I guess I was a bit to tense on that cause she jerked a bit and made a shocked look. "Oh no no no! She just uhh.." She looked behind her. "She's had a bad past, guys and all. I worry is all."

I nodded, realizing she was just concerned for her friend. "I REALLY like Lucy, more than anyone else. She's amazing and I promise that I will never do anything to hurt her."

She gave me an unsure look but turned when Lucy walked back out. She looked at us curiously. "Ready?"
