Sun came up at its peek it was noon already , the young girl kept turning herself In Bed with discomfort from the light .. untill she gave up and open her eyes , she turn her head to see the time and shot out of bed "11:30" she rubbed her eyes and looked again , she slept in so late , she got up fast on her feet she sped up and brushed her teeth and freshen up a bit , fixing her hair and her shirt ...
She peeked out of the room to see if Caitlin was awake .. she tiptoed to the living room , and Caitlin was sitting in front of the TV ..
Beforr she could even say anything or walk forward "Hey , Sleeping Beauty " Caitlin turned to her
She froze right there on the spot , and sighed "how'd you know , I was here " she walked towards the couch
"I've got a special sense that tingles when somebody's sneaking up on me " Caitlin laughed tapping the space by her side for Ella to sit
"Aren't we late to go in and Train ?" Ella asked worried .. they were late Because of her she thought
"I called in , to tell them we'll join in later " Caitlin grabbed the plate of biscuits and waffles offering it to her
She smiled and grabbed the plAte
"How late are we going to be ?" Ella asked chewing onto her biscuits , and looking at the TV
"Around 5" Caitlin said after thinking for a moment
Ella looked at her with wide eyes "5 ?what will we do till then ?" She asked surprised
"
"We're going shopping " Caitlin squealed , it was clear that she was happy in her company
"Shopping " she said under her breath , she was confused and scared , she didn't had any money here , how would she be able to afford anything
"I - I don't really have " she stuttered throught but Caitlin interrupted her
"Don't worry about it .. I'm here " she said holding her hand to assure her ..
"Its not fair for me to live off of you"Ella looked down
"Ella , its okay " Caitlin said pushing her hair back a little
"I'll find a job first thing tomorrow" she said determined to herself
Caitlin wanted to fight her on this , but the determination in her eyes stopped her so she just smiled
"What ever makes you happy " Caitlin said getting up and going over to the kitchen
"I'll make coffee you can get ready till then " she said holding the kettle ..
Ella nodded...
An hour later ..
Ella tried a few more tops and dresses to be sure of the size and colour ..
Caitlin roamed around the store , she stooped looking at a White Net Embroidered dress , it was beautifull , she was tracing her hands in the fabric , with a sweet nurturing smile on her face
"Its perfect for you " she heared a familiar voice called out to her , she looked at him , he was standing their with a smile on his face , gazing at her immense beauty ...
"Barry ,what a surprise " she beamed at him , she went ahead and hugged him .. he embraced her , the most amazing feeling in the world was being hugged by Caitlin Snow ..
They pulled away with a smile , "so what brings you by ?" She asked
"Iris was doing a story here , so I came with her , what about you ? Shopping spree ?" he laughed a little..
"Ella didn't had any clothes , so I brought her here " she said pointing to the trial room ...
"Ohh , Cait that's so nice of you" he said stroking her arm , she just smiled ..
"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 ..

"Happy birthday store " Ella smiled
"Lets go inside" Caitlin grabbed her hand

"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
