Chapter 1: Another Beginning
As always Felicity is too early for her work, She arrived on her table and planning to clean it before she start working when the elevator door on their floor open, and it surprise her to see Oliver Queen Getting off of it.
Oliver Queen? Not late? Is the world falling apart?
"What are you doing?" she stand still, confused and shock can be seen in her face, she still can't believe her own eyes of what their seeing, Felicity was sure she got in the office by 8:00 in the morning, their office hours starts at 9:00 am, Oliver always got in late, sometimes at 10:30 in the morning and most of the time he came after lunch, she always reminds him that even though he is the CEO of the company as a good example to his employee he needed to come right on time in the office, even if he is the vigilante at night till dawn, she understand how tiring it could be, but still he needed to at least act as the CEO to avoid any suspicions, but she gave up reminding him since she accept the fact that maybe he really can't change being late, but now the sight of Oliver in front of her at 8:15 in the morning is still impossible for her to believe.
"Well , I still believe that this is my office" Oliver said to her then gave her a smirk.
Oh my God, Oliver Queen, Not late, and giving jokes early in the morning? The world must be really doomed.
Then Oliver just walk in directly to his office without waiting for her response, although she doesn't know how to, she just gave him a confuse gazed and her eyes follow his direction until he sat on his chair and reach for his office phone and dialed Felicity's intercom.
Her office phone rang and she answered it and sat on her chair facing Oliver with her legs crossed.
" , What game are you playing?" she asked him forcing herself to give him a straight face but failed to do so because she can't stop smiling at him.
"Playing the CEO of course, "
She just smiles at him, because she doesn't know how to handle the playful and good mood Oliver Queen, but the Brooding Oliver that she can handle very well.
Oliver turns his gaze towards his monitor,
" , please schedule a date tonight for me at the Queen's Mansion"
he look at her again,
"You have a date, Wow, That's new, I mean not new new, since you have your little adventure back in the days when you and the…"
"Felicity"
Felicity knew she couldn't stop herself and thank Oliver in her mind for doing so,
"You know, I don't want to be an intruder to your private life, but since we were partners, you said it yourself, but since when did you wanted to have a life?"
She knows that her question is out of the line, but since Oliver is in his good mood, the first time she ever saw him like this ever since they met, she thought maybe it's the best time to dig some private info off of him.
He gave her a sincere look. She knew that whatever he might say that that it would be the most honest answer he could give her.
"Since after Slade, he gave me a new perspective in life, that with the life that I lead, I may not have the right to be with someone that I care about, but life itself is short whether you're leading a dangerous path or just living a normal life, it's too short, He made me realized that, I may not deserved to be with someone right now, but…" he stop, giving all this details to someone else is hard and it is much harder for him because it is Felicity, he is afraid of the what if's, he doesn't want to drag Felicity in his darkness more than he already did, he doesn't want to be selfish but he decided to take a step forward, it's time to stop being afraid of the danger that he might cause to everybody, danger in life would come as it is whether because of him or not, for the first time in his life he wanted to have his light, it will be hard but he make an oath, a vow, that he won't let anything happen to the people he cares about as long as he live, danger may be inevitable but he'll do everything and give anything to lessen the danger to everyone he cares.
Silence dominated the room, with him just looking down at the ground holding the phone tighter to his ear, and Felicity just staring at him, waiting and understanding what he wanted to say, this is one of those honest conversations they have, but for the first time, it is not because of their emotions that causes them to forcefully tell the truth, but it's just him being honest, and her being there to listen.
Finally he looks at her again, but this time a small smile in his face,
"But a friend once told me, that I deserve better, so I thought, that this is the right time to have that better for me" they gave each other a smile, reassurance that they both understand what he meant.
"Well, that's good for you to realized it already, that you so deserve to have someone better, great even, and I am so happy that you found someone like that, and not like those psycho ex-girlfriend you dated before, no offense"
"none taken"
"but you still didn't tell me who's the lucky girl?"
"That's too much detail for you , but you'll find out soon enough"
She wanted to know more, but she doesn't want to force it out on Oliver when he just told her all this,
but this fact is hard for her as well, although she wanted to be happy for Oliver because this is the first time he wanted to be happy, and that's a big step for him since he thought that he doesn't deserve a life after all he has done, the life he has taken, but for Felicity it's the cost of saving many and it is all worth fighting for, But ever since she admitted to herself that she has fallen in love with him a long time ago, and the fact that Oliver found that "better" one she felt lost, now what does she have left? Where would she start? In a blink of an eye she was lost, again. But whatever the cost is, she wanted Oliver to be happy, even if she lost her own happiness in the process.
She look at her tablet to avoid another awkward silence, and scan Oliver's scheduled for the day,
"Fine, I'll arrange everything, but don't forget your meeting with the shareholders at 10 and with Wayne enterprises at 3"
"You will always be remarkable" he said teasingly,
"and thank you for always remarking it, now, before we take all the time of our office our let's get our job done, of course you playing the CEO could do what you want, but as for me I still want to keep my both of my job, and as The EA I have to go get some files at the accounting office, goodbye "
She hang up and walk out of her desk but stop in front of the open door trough Oliver's office,
"But you know, after all that Slade has done, I didn't imagine that he'll be the one to make you realized that you deserve to have a life, and I didn't imagine in a million years that I have something to thank him for" she tilted her head, a smile never fading on her, and like that she left their office to get the hard copies from the Accounting Department for QC's financial report.
The day goes by as normal as they could have, no crimes, no danger, and it is the most peaceful night they had since they started their adventures, it was already 6:00 when Oliver return to the Office and get some of his stuff, he saw Felicity still at her table focus on her computer, her hands were flying in high speed on the keyboard, it amazed Oliver how musical it sounded to him, sometimes when he hears it gives him assurance that she is a hundred miles away from danger and she is safe and sound besides him.
"You're still here" it's not a question, but a sentence to get her attention, and it worked, she stop typing and now looking at him.
"Of course, how could an EA leave the office when her boss were buried beneath those boring meetings, oh since we are on this discussion, I found some of your notes in those previous meetings, well, they were very full of wisdom and knowledge" she holds some papers up in front of him, they were full of inks, drawings and doodles that looks like a five year old boy art work, it was his, during their meetings, the first time she saw it she laughs so hard she almost fell on the floor, the thought of Oliver Queen bored in a meeting can be manageable to imagine but him doodling during executive and very grown up people do it's just an amazing sight to see.
She was holding her laugh not to break loose in her lips, he tilted his head arch an eyebrow and steal the notes from her.
oh, we're still playing this game. She thought. She decided to play along.
"Hey, I haven't still shown that to Diggle, or Sara, not even to Roy or Thea, finders keepers, and that's my treasure, Give it back!" she opens her hand up to him giving him signal that he needs to give the notes back to her.
"This is my paper, my notes, my… ahm… master piece, you do not have any rights to exploit this to anyone" he smirk at her and hide the notes to his inside pocket.
"And I thought you had a date tonight?" she said shutting down her computer.
"Yes I do, but I needed to get something so I had to go back here, and besides my date is not yet there, go home Felicity" he gave another smile to her and went through inside his office, she gathers her stuff inside her bag grab her coat and stands up,
"okay, so that's it for me today, see you tomorrow" she wave at him and bid him goodbye, it was the most wonderful day she could ever ask for, Oliver having a good mood which is rare, their night job was on hold, After Slade's invasion Oliver said that the team should take a break for a while, so they just focus on getting the QC, the mansion and Verdant back to him and Thea's name, and thankfully the city didn't need the vigilante that much, and since they got all of it back to the Queen's name, Oliver haven't ask them to come back to their night job's yet, since Diggle is still on vacation leave with Layla, Sara fixing her problem with Nyssa and the League of Assassins but promise to come back when the time is right, Roy were always at Thea's side, and basically live at the mansion, it was Thea's request to let him stay at the mansion since it's basically empty with just her and Oliver there, well of course it was hard to get the approval from Oliver but since he realized that it was the most convenient ways to keep Thea safe, so he approve of Roy staying at the mansion but only if he sleeps in a different room, Felicty thought that it was the brother's duty talking and not the vigilante, sometimes Felicity got jealous of their relationship as the brother and sister but not because she loves Oliver, but because she never really got a chance to have a family ambiance when she grew up, because the last one, well it didn't work that well, the only thing that got her close to a family is her Team Arrow, that's why she really want all of them to get back together as soon as possible, but since Oliver didn't give them any info yet to where the second lair would be, she decided to just let him tell her and the team where it would be at the right moment.
At the time she got at the front of her apartment, she saw a black car park right in front of it and a man standing and leaning his back at the car that looks like he was waiting for someone, at first she was alarm, that maybe he has a motive for standing outside of her apartment, but she thought why would a bad man expose himself in the open?, so she decided to get out of her car and confront the man herself.
"uhm, excuse me?" that's all she could say since she was still nervous.
The man looks at her, full attention to her, he was now standing straight, he's a middle age man, wearing big glasses indicating that his eyesight is poor, he was wearing a black suit like what Diggle wear as a driver of Oliver Queen.
" ?" he asked arching both of his aye brows.
"yes, and you are?" she force herself to not babble since it would get awkward for the old man.
" sent me, he told me to give you this" he handed her a piece of envelope, she took it and gently open the envelope, inside there was a card, with silver and green linings design in front of it if you stare at it for moment you could see the vivid image of an arrow, she opens it, and almost drop her jaw when she read the letters.
At the left side of the card there was a quote,
I will love the light for it shows me the way,
yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.
But the right side of the card gave her the shock,
Ms. Felicity Meghan Smoak,
Please be my date tonight.
Oliver Queen.
She just stares at it for a long time, and realized the conversation she and Oliver had that morning.
