Chapter 11 - The Sleepover

Ever since Barry moved in with the West's, Iris and him have been having sleepovers. Taking turns for each bedroom. They would be awake all night talking and playing Truth or Dare.

Barry met Iris in his room. He was wearing his favourite pyjamas, the ones that say: 'i 8 sum pi' in maths. Iris was wearing thick pants and a white singlet.

Barry handed a small box to Iris, she opened it and looked inside. It was a necklace with a heart. She took a closer look and saw that it read 'Barry + Iris'. She thought it was really nice. Iris wrapped her arms around Barry and pulled him into a big hug. She held his hand and opened it. She settled the necklace in his hands and turned around. He moved her soft, silky hair to the side and he saw the back of Iris's singlet. It was a picture of him and her on it, his favourite picture of him and her. He put the necklace on her and she spun around.

'I like your shirt,' Barry complimented.

'Thanks, I bought it a couple of weeks ago,' Iris said, 'When I saw that you could be custom shirts, I rushed into the store and submitted my favourite picture of us and I love it!'

Joe entered the room with popcorn, drinks and lollies. He said goodnight and left. They played a quick game of Truth or Dare, they talked about what was on their minds. Then there was the dares, which consisted of Barry sneaking into Joe's room and stealing his clothes so he could act as Joe and Iris running around the house yelling 'Barry is the cutest nerd EVER!'

Iris found two pillows and chucked one to Barry. They both stood up and started hitting each other with pillows. They were having so much fun. The whole time they were laughing. He hit Iris in the leg and she collapsed on a mattress. He held out his hand, she grabbed it and he pulled her up.

After that, Iris had a determined look on her face. She gripped her pillow tightly and aimed for his stomach. She hitted him hard on the stomach. He went flying across the room and his baggy shirt lifted right up to his chest. She dropped the pillow and ran over to the mattress where Barry was lying. Her mouth was open. Barry realised that Iris wasn't there to help him up, so he decided to get up himself. Although Barry had flew across the room, Iris couldn't stop staring at his stomach.

'What are you looking at?' Barry questioned.

Iris grabbed his shirt and pulled it up. Barry reached for his pillow and hugged it. But, Iris caught a glimpse. Iris shouted, 'Lightning made Barry muscular!' Barry quickly put his hand over her mouth and dropped the pillow. Joe ran into the room. He immediately spotted Barry. He looked around for a pillow, but he couldn't find one near by. Joe's eyes widened, he was shocked that Barry had abs too. HE slowly backed away as Barry and Iris watched him.

Iris held Barry's hands and leaned in and kissed him. When they separated, Iris grabbed Barry's handed to check the time. They both hopped into the side by side mattresses.

Finally they fell asleep, hands tightly connected forever.
