Caitlin's P.O.V

"Mom, I'm fine, I just got into town." I said as I pulled into the parking lot of the nearest café.

I'm starting to think I have an addiction to caffeine but man do I need a medium latte with whipped cream and caramel.

"Yes ma'am, I'm meeting them later to get everything signed… yeah I love you too."

After I hung up, I checked the time to see how long it would be before I met up with my soon to be roommates.

An hour and a half, great I thought that gives me enough time to get me a latte and a relax for a while before I meet the others.

I went inside, ordered my drink and took a seat at one of the available tables. As I sat there I started to think about my life and why I was here in Central City.

It was in this moment, sitting alone inside of this Café, that I realized that I moved here not knowing the area or anybody therefore, aside from the people that I will see at work when I begin next week, I'm completely alone here.

Stop thinking like that, I told myself, it'll get better, you'll make some friends, everything will be great.

As I was giving myself that little pep talk my phone started vibrating. It was from the guy I was just about to go meet.

Hey Caitlin, it's John. I just wanted to let you know that the guy that had moved out came back and we will no longer be searching for a new roommate. I hope it isn't too big of an inconvenience for you. Hope you find a place.

What the hell, I thought quite angrily to myself, you didn't even have the balls to call me, instead you drop this on me after I arrive to finalize everything.

In the heat of the moment I slam my phone on the table just as the waitress is coming over with my drink.

"Hey," the lady says looking at me like I was a tiger about to pounce, "are you ok?"

"Unfortunately no, I am not ok."

"What's wrong, honey?" she says as she sits down and places my drink in front of me.

"Well I just got here today to finish some paperwork and move in with my new roommates," I said now looking down at my coffee, "and come to find out their old roommate decided to come back and now I'm here in a new town, I don't know anyone, and I'm homeless."

The lady sitting across from had an expression that I couldn't quite read, why on earth did you just tell a complete stranger all of that I thought to myself now feeling like I just got punched in the gut.

"I'm sorry," I finally said looking at her, "I don't know what came over me, I…"

Before I could finish my apology she got up, and walked away in a hurry. Great I thought sinking down in my chair ever so slightly she probably thinks I'm some psycho now.

I took a long sip of my drink and as I put it down I saw the woman walking back toward me with a tall, good looking guy in her grasp.

"Hey," she said looking at me with a smile on her face, "first off, I just realized that I never told you my name, I'm Iris, Iris West, and this is Barry Allen."

As she said his name she shoved him forward a bit and seems like he got the message because right after he offered me an out stretched hand.

"Hi, I'm Barry." He said with a smile as I excepted his hand.

"Caitlin, Caitlin Snow."

When I released his hand I looked at Iris, then Barry, then back to Iris trying to figure out just what's going on.

"So… Iris was it? Why did you bring him over here?"

Just as before, with her arms crossed over her chest she bumped Barry again and they exchanged this sort of telepathic conversation.

"Well… you see," Barry said taking the seat opposite me, "Iris told me what happened to you and I was wondering if maybe… you wanted to be my roommate."

As he was talking I couldn't help but get lost in his gorgeous green eyes and just barely caught that last sentence.

"Me and you, roommates? I don't know."

" Look, I know it's weird asking like this but look at it this way," he said looking at me intently, "I need a roommate, and you need somewhere to live, I see this as a win-win situation for the both of us."

He's right, I do need a place to stay, and if I'm being honest, I would gladly move in with him.

"Well," I said trying to contain my excitement, "do I need to sign anything?"

I could tell that he was happy as he flashed his teeth at me before quickly taking out his phone and typing something.

"Here, give me your number and I'll send you the address, I have all the paperwork filled out on my end, all you have to do is read it over and tell me if you have any questions."

I took the phone from his hand and punched in my number.

"There you go," I said giving him his phone back and as I did so, his long fingers grazed the top of my hand and I couldn't help but notice how soft they were, " I guess I'll see you in a bit." I said, now standing and offering him my hand.

"Pleasure doing business with you Ms. Snow." Barry said taking my hand in his.

"And to you, Mr. Allen."

With that, he walked back to where he was sitting, grabbed his bag, and headed for the door. Before he fully exited he turned back and gave me a small wave and a smile.

Oh. My. God I thought to myself turning around so no one could see my face turning the shade of a tomato not only do I have a place to live, but it's also with a hot guy this day definitely did a 180 on me.

I grabbed my purse, and the rest of my drink and headed for the counter.

"Hey, Iris." I said standing there waiting for her to see me.

"Hey, yeah um… I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries, I just wanted to…"

"No no, it's fine," I said cutting her off, "I actually came over here to thank you, thanks to you I actually have a place to live now, is there anything I can do to repay you?"

"No, but since you're going to be living with Barry now, I think we'll be seeing a lot of each other so look at it this way, now you have a place to live," she then offered her hand to me, "and a friend."

I took her hand and shook it with a big smile.

"Thank you so much."

"I'll be seeing you around Caitlin"

"Yeah," I said releasing her hand, "I guess you will."

With that I turned and left, when I got into my car I felt so happy that I literally screamed.

Well I thought taking out my phone lets go see where we'll be living.
