thank you for checking out my story, i have written 6 chapters so far, and have the intention of doing at least 15, but may reach 20. Hope you enjoy!

When he met her in high school he knew there was something about her and he knew he needed to know her. He knew that one day she would be his whole world. He was happy when he found out her name, and what grade she was in. 11th, she was 2 years younger than everyone else in the grade because she was a genius. She was a new transfer to the school and he learned she was from Las Vegas. When he saw that she hung out Sara Lance, he knew how to meet her.

Oliver was best friends with Tommy Merlyn and Tommy was dating Laurel Lance, Sara's older sister. So he thought if he started hanging around them, asking Laurel to invite Sara to stuff she would bring Felicity. And he was right. Everywhere Sara was, there was Felicity. Every slumber party they crashed that the girls had, she was there. They had even started hanging out on their own, away from the group. He knew he shouldn't make a move on her because she was young. But what he did know is that as soon as they graduated that he wanted the rest of his life to start with her.

During the summer between 11th and 12th grade, Felicity started to change. Her brown mousy hair was now blonde, she traded her glasses in for contacts, but only sometimes and she started wearing tighter clothing. She also started going to parties with Sara and Laurel. Started hanging out more with Tommy, and Sara's new friend Nyssa.

They had gone to a party one Saturday night and she met Caitlyn and her best friend Iris. The girls hit it off right away and all started hanging out every Saturday night. One weekend it was at the Lance's, the next weekend it was Caitlyn's, the following was iris' and the final weekend was always reserved for her and Thea's sleepovers at the Queen mansion. Felicity and Thea and become as close as sisters ever since she had started hanging out with Oliver earlier that year.

Thea was 8 years younger than felicity but she didn't care. She was happy doing girly things and being there for Thea when she needed her. Felicity was an only child so in a way she felt like Thea was her long lost sister. Seeing as how Oliver was 10 years older than his little sister she was left out of a lot events and hang out sessions, that is why Felicity decided to have her own weekends with the youngest Queen. After the summer Saturday nights with Thea turned into another girl's sleepover night with the Lance sisters, Nyssa, Caitlyn and iris. Thea would get so excited when it came to the day of the month for sleepovers with her friends. Especially Lis.

Oliver wanting to be close to felicity would try to crash girl's night and steal felicity away from everyone, but as soon as we would see his sister laughing with her, or having her hair braided by Lis, as Thea called her, he couldn't stand to take her away from that. He would always just sit there and imagine that one day they would become real sisters and would be doing that in the home he one day hoped to share with felicity.

When graduation came around felicity had graduated 6 months before everyone else by doing AP courses and extra courses in the evenings. Because of that she gotten into MIT with full scholarship. Oliver on the other hand, was quite upset with the thought of graduating without her, without having pictures of them on what should be the start of their adult lives. When his name was called to go up on stage and accept his diploma he looked into the crowd where Moira, Robert and Thea were sitting. Then he saw her.

Sitting right next to his sister, Felicity was there clapping as hard she could and jumping for joy. He knew that was the night he was going to tell her he loved her.

His parents and flown her in for the weekend so she could watch her friends graduate so she wouldn't miss such a milestone in their lives. She was able to take pictures with everyone before being taken out to dinner with the Queens. During dinner Oliver couldn't take his eyes off of her. He knew that tonight was the night he would tell her. There was no turning back. When he got up to ask Felicity if she wanted to get out that stuffy dinner he heard his mother ask her a question. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Moira, was asking felicity about her new boyfriend Cooper. Oliver excused himself from the table and headed towards the restroom. As soon as the door closed behind him he couldn't hold it in much longer. His heart sank to the bottom of chest and he felt like he couldn't breath. Why the hell did he wait till graduation to do anything about this. He couldn't believe he had lost her.

When she came home for break that summer, a few weeks after Oliver's graduation, she had broken up with cooper and just wanted her girl friends and really badly wanted to hang out with Oliver. The queens had always opened their home to her to stay whenever and however long she wanted. She was in the middle of telling Raisa and Thea that she and cooper had broken up when Oliver walked into the kitchen. He didn't know she was back already.

As soon as he had seen her he scooped her up in his arms and spun her around, planted a kiss on her forehead and told her he had missed her. Thea's voice broke the moment he was having and told him they were just talking about Cooper, then he let her go and walked away.

Felicity was taken aback by what he had just done. She had told him they broke up; he never did email her back but she assumed he was just off with tommy having fun at Yale. She excused herself from Raisa and Thea and followed after him. She followed after him to the garden where he was sitting on the bench overlooking the vegetable garden that Raisa had planted that spring. She noticed he looked defeated.

She sat down beside him, he kept looking away from her. She could tell he was upset. She knew because he was her best friend. She loved him, though she knew she was her best friend, aside from Tommy obviously, she knew he loved her too. Just not in the same way. Why would Oliver Queen, rich, handsome, can have any woman he wants be in love with her? He wouldn't. So she knew that she needed to move on from him and accept the fact that he loved her like a sister.

As they sat on the bench not speaking, he kept thinking why she picked Cooper. Why couldn't she just see that he was in love with her, wouldn't that be easier, if she just figured out herself? That's when he decided that the silence needed to end. He turned to her, taking in her blonde hair, her gorgeous blue eyes, and her bright fuchsia lipstick. He decided that it was now or never.

"felicity?"

"omg, Oliver it took you this long to talk me?"

"I know I am sorry. Thea mentioned Cooper and I just couldn't listen to that. I need to tell you something"

"what is it Oliver?" a smile appearing on her face

"well, we have known each other for a few years, and you know I love you. But I don't think you realize how much I love you"

"I know you love me Oliver. Just like Thea, I mean I know you obviously love her more than me, but she is your actual sister and.." she was cut off by him

"what the fuck felicity!" he shouted "you think I am saying I love you like my sister?"

She just looked at him in disbelief. Was he actually saying what she thought he was saying?

"Felicity, I love you. As in I want you, as in I want to have a future with you. I love you, love you. Do you understand?"

She sat there smiling like the biggest dork that had ever lived. But he loved her, he really did. Just like she did. Just the same as she loved him. She wanted all of that with him too.

"Oliver, I... I love you too!" she screamed. Well more like squealed sending a jolt through his body. She would be his future. He knew in that moment; she would be his wife one day. Not any time soon, but maybe once she graduated, and he took over the company and they would start on having little Queens not soon after.

He stood up in front of her, grabbed her hands and lifted her up from the bench and placed his hands on either side of her cheeks. He was going to kiss her. Their first actual kiss. She placed her hands around his waste to wrap around his back and tilted her head up towards him. He was a lot taller than her and today, of all days, she wore her favorite flats. She leaned into his face standing on her tip toes, and closed her eyes. She was happy at the fact that the day they would finally kiss she was wearing contacts. He closed his eyes and leaned into her. As soon as their lips touched sparks flew through their bodies and it was best kiss either one had ever had.

He couldn't believe he waited this long to do this with her. He was such an idiot for waiting so long. She couldn't believe she was kissing the one person she could really be herself around. Well him and the girls, but she's pretty sure she didn't want to be kissing them like this, she said in her head. Why is she thinking of that when the man she loves is kissing her? What felt like hours, was only a matter of seconds when they pulled away from each other. He was still holding her face, but her hands had slid a little farther down his waste to the top of his ass.

She felt a little flustered, because she had never touched him there before, but she didn't care. As of this moment she was never going to let go of him. Not as long as either of them were alive. In that moment, she started thinking of their future together. Marriage, children, growing old together. They parted and without speaking, they knew what the other one was thinking. They grabbed each others hand and started walking back to the house.
