Finally
As Felicity drove home, her one reoccurring thought was, "did it mean anything more than that?" but, knowing it was Oliver that said it, she doubted he would even tell her if it. All she knew was that she was confused. "Why can't he just tell me how he feels? Does he have feelings for me?" she says out loud as she enters her house.
"First, he's all like 'because of the life that I lead, I just think it's better to not, be with someone that I could really care about', she continues as she goes up the stairs to her bedroom. "And then, goes & says, 'he had you & he was going to hurt you, there was no choice to make'. Does he not understand how irritating that is?'
"To practically tell a girl there's no possible way of being together, & then go & give her false hope, that there is! God damn it, Oliver Queen, why do you have to be so damn confusing?!" With that being said, she opens her bedroom door, turns on the light & freezes. There on the edge of her bed, is the one & only, Oliver queen. And, with his wide eyes & shocked face, she knew he has heard everything.
Finally, he stands & speaks. "I just wanted to make sure you got home ok". "Yeah, I'm fine ", she says quickly so that he can leave & she can be embarrassed in peace. "Felicity-", he starts. "Don't", she says sternly. "Oliver, I knew the second I saw your face that you had heard everything. And it's fine. Well, not "FINE", fine, seeing how it's clearly embarrassing. Just, you know, expected. I always embarrass myself. Like, this one time in fourth grade-". And just like that, his lips were on hers, & she finally knows what it's like to be silenced with a kiss from Oliver.
When he pulls back, "what was that for?" she says amazed. "To show you I'm done being confusing. I know I haven't been straight forward with you & I'm sorry. All this time, I thought being together would put you in even more danger. But, I realized being with you, not only will help me protect you more, but that it will make us both happier than we've ever been". She smiles with tears spilling out of the corner of her eyes. "What makes you so sure?" she says. "Because I love you", he says without a doubt. "What?" she says happily. "I love you". "I love you too, Oliver". And with that, they fall back on the bed & continue to show each other just how much, all through the night.
