Barry smiles and kisses her softly

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith widens her eyes in surprise, but she matches his kiss and tangles her hands in his hair.

[Jasper19]

Barry pulls smiling " wanted to get that in before I become uber respectful around your mom "

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith chuckles. “I like the way you think.” She kisses his brow, making the rest of the passengers ‘Aw’ and Zenith blushes.

[Jasper19]

Barry also blushes" thought they wouldn't see us" he muttered

[Sharidi37495]

An older woman chuckles. “Yeah right. Like we’d miss Little Jenny’s first boyfriend.” Zenith blushes and smiles shyly. “You keep track, Tilda?”

[Jasper19]

Barry looks confused does everyone know zenith on this bus?' I'm thinking probably '

[Sharidi37495]

The whole crowd starts to talk to Zenith, and she looks a little shy at first, then she relaxes and when their in the middle of laughing, she returns to Barry. “Sorry, I should probably explain. These people are regulars on this bus, and I always took the same bus when I used to see my mom every week. And also my stepdad’s kind of the mayor.” She says the last sentence quickly as her face starts to turn red.

[Jasper19]

Barry nods" ahhh ok so I'm dating the mayor's daughter that's even less pressure "

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith frowns. “I’m sorry, teddybear. I didn’t want you to judge me for it.”

[Jasper19]

Barry smiles " it's ok angel I would never judge you"

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles and gently kisses him. "That's one of the reasons I love you."

[Jasper19]

Barry smiles " I love you to Angel "

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles and leans her head on his shoulder, ignoring the 'aww's and the eruption of questions. A younger man leans in and quietly asks with a smirk, "Hey, Jenny, have you shown him your-?" Zenith turns bright red and stands abruptly, taking Barry's hand. "Okay, we're here!"

[Jasper19]

Barry raises an eyebrow and follows her off the bus

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith rubs the color off of her face, and turns back to the bus to wave goodbye. She turns and leads Barry to a long, one-story building with gates in the front. She smiles at the guard. “Am I allowed in?” The guard nods and opens the gate for her and for Barry.

[Jasper19]

Barry follows

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith sighs and smiles when she reaches the front desk. The woman smiles back in surprise. “Little Miss Murray! Your mother will be out in a moment.” Zenith frowns. “No, that’s alright. I’m fine going into her room.” “Are you sure?” Zenith nods, and the woman presses a button to let them in. Zenith takes calming breaths. “I apologize ahead of time if I break down,” she murmurs.

[Jasper19]

Barry frowns" it's your mother Angel no need to be sorry "

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles gratefully and leads him to a sterile-hospital-like room. A woman that looks like a middle-aged, pale, blonde, frail imitation of Zenith lays, dwarfed by the white sheets. Her eyes are open, but barely so, as she peers at Zenith who swallows as she meets her mother’s gaze. She squeezes Barry’s hand a little for stability.
