"How's this ?" Ella came out of the room , wearing a Black Tank Top , with shreaded sleeves , and her stomach a little showing ..

"Oh hey " she stopped looking at Barry ..

"It's , nice " Caitlin said smiling ..

"Ummm , I don't know , isn't it too short " Barry scratched the back of his head

Ella and Caitlin laughed at his response , "I'll change " she went back inside

Caitlin turned to an awkward Barry "tell me ? didn't you thought that was inappropriate " he asked hoping she would say yes

"A little " she smiled looking at his protective Look , she's never seen it before

"Thank God !"he sighed .. Caitlin couldn't help but laugh at his innocent face ..

After few minutes , they went to the counter to pay for the dresses they bought ..

Caitlin opened her bag to take out her credit card , but Barry beat her to it .. "Here , I Got It " he handed his card to the cashier

"No Barry , i got it, its okay " She said arguing

"You can get Lunch " he winked at her, Ella just smiled at both of them ... "Thankyou both , you're doing soo much for me " She said hugging Caitlin and Then Barry ,"its no problem " Barry said , patting her shoulder

"So where is Iris ?" Caitlin asked , taking the bags from the couter ..

Barry got the rest of the Bags "She is at this Antiques store across from here .. " he said balancing the bags in his hand

"What's the story about an antiques store  ?" Ella laughed looking at him struggle , but then took few bags from him

"Thanks, uh , I think.the store kinda turned 25 years old " he said remembering the exact years ..

"So it's the store's Birthday " Caitlin gasped in sarcastic excitement

Ella looked at her and then joined in "I forgot to buy a gift " She Gasped , joining  Caitlin

Barry laughed shaking his head "you two are adorable "

Ella and Caitlin joined in , they sat at the nearest Cafe and started telling Ella about Central City , and funny stories about Cisco and Harry

"I haven't met him yet , but now I'm really looking forward too " She Laughed at Barry's last story

"Can I take your order ?" A waitress with a writing pad and a pen in her hand stood at their table

"Yeah , " barry looked up at her and then back at the ladies sitting with him

"What do you guys want ?" He asked , looking at them

"Umm , Cheese Fries  and A Burger " Ella said

"Grilled sandwich and onion rings " Caitlin ordered

"Cheese Fries and Burger " Barry smiled looking at the waitress making sure she got everything down

"Oh and 3 cappuccino " Ella said with confidence but realized something then looked at them for approval

The waitress walked over to the counter

"People will stare at us , when all that food comes here " Ella giggled

"I've been used to it now " Barry put his hands behind his head

"How does it feel to eat alot and not worry about gaining weight ?" Caitlin asked Ella with a grin

"I won't lie , its really great " Ella chuckled

"How come you've never asked me that before ?" He pouted

"Well  , you're .... a guy " she struggled for words but then burst out laughing ..

"She's right " Ella agreed , mocking him ..

"You know, they say never sit with two Ladies unless you want to get roasted " He sat with a serious note and both Caitlin and Ella looked at him

"They were right " Barry turned his face away from them , vrosisng his arms

"Oh come on , Barry , we didn't mean to hurt your feelings " Caitlin patted his shoulder , sneering at him ..

"Real mature " He raised his eyebrow at the two laughing ladies but then chuckled looking at their dorky smiles

Ella gasped "Food " she looked at it with such sparkling eyes , Caitlin and Barry smiled at her ..

Barry rubbed his hands together "Let's Dive In "

Half an hour Later ..

The three went to the Antiques store looking for iris , who was inside the store , the store was decorated with a big 25 years sign ..

"Happy birthday store " Ella smiled

"Lets go inside" Caitlin grabbed her hand

"Barry , where were you ?"  Iris came running to Barry giving him a kiss ..

Caitlin and Ella looked away from the couple

"Caitlin , Ella .. you guys here ?"  She said noticing them

"Yeah , I ran into them , " Barry said looking at her and then back at them ..

"We brought you coffee and a donut" Ella smiled giving Iris the packet in her hands

"Aww , Thankyouuu "Iris grin , taking ut from her ..

"How long will it be ?" Barry pointed to the whole setup ..

"Ugh , an hour , at least .." she said a frustrating look on her face , she took of her donut

"This is literally the best part of today " she looked at the donut hungrily

Everybody chuckled at her

"Barry , you can go to the lab, ill finish up here " Iris said , putting it back in the paper bag ..

"No , ill stay " he huged her from asaid .

"Yeah , we should be going home too , then we have to get back at the lab , cisco has been calling anyways " Caitlin said smiling at both of them .. and then at her phone , where cisco called again

"Yes cisco , we're coming " she walked to the corner to talk clearly

"Ella , you can stay too if you want to " Iris offered

"I'd love too , but something tells me cisco actually wants me in the Lab " she nervously laughed , making Barry and iris grin

"Rain check " She proposed

"Absolutely " Iris came forward and hugged her ..

Caitlin came back to them "cisco has officially lost it" She showed them her phone

"We should get going then" Ella looked at her , she nodded ..

Barry and caitlin shared a qiuck hug , and so did Ella and Barry , Caitlin nodded at Iris and she nodded back ..
