Wally's Pov
Barry has possibly nine days left and the results for Marrow's DNA hasn't came back yet.
I decide to run in the test field lab in hopes that my mind could just go elsewhere.
Before I had my speed, I use to go driving. Driving would help keep me from thinking about my mom and her cancer. Hell driving was just great.
But being a speedster, is like driving only a thousand times better. The moment my feet leave the ground it's almost like I'm flying. I keep running and soon my mind wonders on to pointless things.
Like why hasn't Jessie kept in touch with me?
Or, why can't I get a date?
Wait I can answer that, because no girl other than Jessie has been able to catch my attention.
Okay running and thinking about my love life, bad idea.
I slow down as I see Cisco walk in. "Hey."
"Hey, so wanna go on a Jitters run?" He asks. "You mean, you give me the list and I go run, getting everyone's drinks?" I say in a matter of factly tone.
"Rose figured you'd want to go, just to take your mind off of this."
"Well, she's right. I'll be back." Cisco hands me the list and cash.
When the coast is clear I run to Jitters and stop just a block away in an alley and walk the rest of the way.
As I walk inside I open the door and a young girl bumps into me. "Oops, Hi. I mean sorry." She fiddles with her glasses and takes them off for a second, and I swear my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth.
She was gorgeous.
I couldn't help but keep staring, which made me look like an epic creep, because after hearing someone clear their throat behind me, I blink and the gorgeous girl was frowning.
"I forgot Petey's chocolate croissant." I hear her mumble. Before I could say anything to her she walks to the line.
Before I knew it, I was standing a whole person away from her in line.
I look her up and down from behind as discreetly as possible. She had to be about 5'4. I couldn't tell her body type, because of the baggy sweatshirt she was wearing. But I could definitely tell she has an ass on her.
That I couldn't help but keep staring at. As I shy away from my dirty thoughts, I look up and see she had a loose black curl from her ponytail.
I wonder what her hair would look like down.
She turns and-
Shit, shit, shit. Look away, Wally. Look away.
I quickly look at my feet and count to three Mississippi before looking back up.
Well she was still staring and, now the person who was between us. Was now in front of her.
"What's your name?" She asked. "Hi." I then sigh at my dumb ass words.
She laughs, and for some reason. I feel like she isn't laughing at me. Just the situation. "Well, Hello, Hi. I'm Lydia."
I smile at her then. "Sorry, my name is Wally. Not hi." She gives me a lip bite smile and damn I want to kiss her.
"I figured. I mean if your parents would have named you Hi. I wouldn't have judged. I know a girl name Sugardrop."
"Really?" She nods and pushes her glasses back to her eyes. Which happen to be an emerald green.
Her eyes just make her caramel skin more sexy.
Wally, if you don't get her number-
"So do you come here often?" She asks. "Uh, yeah. Both of my sister's use to work here. What about you?"
"Not really. I only come here once in a blue moon, all because my brother likes to make me go out and socialize while getting him his chocolate croissant."
Nice, so the name she mentioned earlier wasn't a boyfriend.
"Sounds like utter torture." I say in a joking way. She smiles which makes my heart skip and we both move up in the line.
"So, are you new here? I've never seen you around town before." She shrugs. "I'm kind of from all over. Grew up in Gotham and moved here a few years ago. My brother and I are pretty much loners."
I nod and go to speak but she stops me. "Want to keep me company for a little?"
"Well..."
"Awe, come on Wallace. Are you going to make me beg?"
God I want you to beg, maybe on your kne-
"Next!" The barista calls out. Lydia walks over and she orders her brother's croissant. I glance at her exposed lower back as she leans over the counter to pay.
"Next!" I snap my eyes up and go up to the barista. Lydia was waiting and I was a bit excited, because maybe she was waiting for me.
I give my order and while I wait, Lydia cocks her head looking at me. I blush hard.
"What?" She shakes her head. "Can't tell you until, you promise to keep me company for at least twenty minutes." She gives a pout and pretend to scratch my chin and think.
"Well, I am busy."
"Well, get unbusy." She says in a teasing tone. "Alright, you've twisted my arm."
"Wally?" The barista calls out and the drinks were ready. I turn and Lydia looks down and nods. "Wow, you must be thirsty."
"Oh, no. These are for my friends. But don't worry. I can get them their drinks fast."
"Which one is yours? Strawberry milk?" She asks. "Uh, no. I just got the coffee, Black with two sugars."
"Hmm, you're a black and two sugars kind of guy. Interesting." She leads the way and I sit down in front of her at the table. "What's that suppose to mean?" I ask. She takes a sip of whatever was in her cup and places the drink down.
"It could mean a lot of things. Like if you were to get say a hot chocolate. That would say you're either into the richer things in life, or you like to taste sweet things. If you would have gotten, a water. I'd say you're either boring, or a serial killer."
I burst out laughing. "How does getting a water, make me a serial killer?"
"Water is free. Only a serial killer would go out and buy water. But you got a black coffee with two sugars. I'd say you're a good guy, who use to be a bad boy..." She reaches over and takes my hands.
She studies my hands and I feel her squeeze until she feels my bones. "You use to race cars. That changes things."
"Really? How so?" I ask, more intrigued. She looks up and for a split second I feel like I'm looking at a completely different person.
"You like speed. Speed can be dangerous. Which is something you're all to comfortable with...." She links our fingers together and I can't help but swallow hard.
"You're a good guy, but you could be a bad one. Tell me, Wally. How bad are you?" She traces her thumb over the pulse in my wrist and I feel like I'm in a trance.
"You'll just have to find out, won't you." I challenge. She gives me a cocky grin. "You are a man of mystery. I really like that."
I can't help but bite my lip as I stare at hers. "What else do you like?" She licks her bottom lip and leans over the table, at first I thought she was going to kiss me, but she leans in close to my ear.
"I'll let you know next time." She lets my hand go and I watch her walk away. I snap out of it just in time to run after her, but when I make it outside she was no where in site....
Marrow's POV
"What took you so long?" Petey asks me as I climb up. I ignore his question and think about Wally.
I've never let my Lydia persona slip, but the way he looked at me, the way those dark big brown eyes seem to search my body.
Everyone has a side, good and bad. And only a few people try to stand on the fence between the two.
Wally was definitely that guy. But behind that good guy smile, was a bad boy at heart.
I sigh taking off the fake glasses, because I know a guy like Wally would only get hurt.
I shake him out of my thoughts and throw off my hoodie.
Petey walks in and I hear him chewing. "Pete, really?" I turn and he had a crumb on his lips. "What?" I walk over and break a piece of the croissant and eat it.
"Get that shit off your lip, bro. And I watched the new jewelry store across the street over ten times. I practically know everyone's schedule."
"Too hot right now, Mar." I groan as Petey walks up the stairs. "Come on, the Flash hasn't been seen today. He is out for the count. I say we hit the store before someone else does."
"Did you see the news?" I shake my head in my I don't care mood and he flicks on the tv.
I read the headline and see that Kid Flash saves a bus full of cheerleaders and football players.
I walk out of the room and go grab my stuff. "Where are you going?"
"I'm hungry! I'm getting some food."
"What? But you just came back." I throw a piece sign at Petey as I hop on my bike and rev up.
"Catch me if you can, Kid." I say with a smirk as I make sure my bone armor is ready...
