Oliver heard a reporter's voice as he walked in to the Lair. As the footsteps sound closer, Felicity pressed the mute button and face the person who made her feel so annoyed last week on her first out-of-the-country "business trip". And she is still annoyed.
"How is he?"
"Better", Felicity is trying her best to avoid a conversation.
"Well, you should go home and get some rest. We have a big meeting tomorrow right?" then Oliver headed to a room to change from his business suit.
Their feelings right now couldn't be more mutual.
"Yeah, we couldn't let Ms. Isabel wait tomorrow, right?" in a whisper voice.
"What?" Oliver stopped before he reached the door.
"I just don't want to leave Diggle. Can I just stay until he wakes up? " and also don't talk to me.
Oliver looked like he had something more to say but figured out there's no point on arguing with his secretary.
After he came back to the Lair, he saw Felicity setting up a projector facing the wall.
"What are you doing? We don't really need to get ready for tomorrow's meeting"
"What? No. I'm going to watch a movie so I wouldn't fall asleep while checking out Dig's recovery. I could actually watch it on the computer but I've been looking at the screen for the whole day. Except that time when I was hold against my will. And staring to a wall is nothing but comforting."
Then Felicity remembered she's not supposed to talk to this guy. And she remembered that Oliver also had a pretty bad day.
Oliver just looked at her and said, "Ok."
As Felicity seated comfortably on the blanket-covered floor she faced Oliver again, "I'm sorry about what happened at Ms. Queen's trial."
"There's still hope. What movie are you watching?" he asked making sure if his Executive Assistant is doing fine after all what The Count did to her. For the past few days, she was different. Felicity was silent. Oliver just want to make sure her experience today won't make her more different.
"It's called His Girl Friday. Not that I choose this movie because you once called me your Girl Wednesday when it was actually Friday. It's just on my watch list ever since. "
Felicity just gave up the I'm-not-talking –to-you act and Oliver was somewhat relieved that his Girl Friday was still there.
"Hey give me five minutes I'll be right back. Don't start the movie yet", Oliver ran towards the club.
After five minutes...
"You got coffees. From a club. In the middle of the night where clubs normally offer tequilas. You know I would be impressed but I kinda now your sister owns Vertigo, so."
Oliver smiled.
"Correction, first Thea and I own Verdant, second I made these coffees so you should be really impressed. "
Felicity laughed.
"Imagine what would happen if you fall asleep minutes before the meeting starts because your coffee's magic stop working. Isabel would be so mad at you. Not that I want you two to keep on fighting. I would never enjoy watching people fight. Except if it's you and Diggle on the training mat".
Oliver gave Felicity a look.
"It's like watching a live UFC. Huh. I do like watching people fight."
Felicity was amazed and concerned on her new self discovery, while Oliver tried to go back to the main topic.
" I'd rather watch this black and white movie than remind myself what Ms. Rochev and I have to disagree about tomorrow".
Keeping her eyes on the wall, Felicity smiled as she realized what his words might really meant. Maybe Oliver doesn't even realized what he really meant.
As Diggle opened his eyes, he saw this blurry couple looking blondes, sitting on a purple blanket, and starring on a wall. Clearly he's still high as the QC Building. And
clearly he needed more sleep cause as tomorrow comes, his duty awaits him. The duty he only can fulfill, The Black Driver.
