Oliver. Felicity. The vigilante. The IT-girl. Oliver. Felicity.
"A masquerade ball?" Felicity muttered, as Oliver sat on her chair and watched her.
"Yes. Exactly 200 people will attend the party. Do you think you can handle it?" Oliver said.
Felicity was still smiling, she always wondered what it would be like to attend such a party. And now it was within her grasp.
"Handle it? Ofcourse I will be able to handle it. I will be your date? What I mean is that I will go with you right. Cause obviously it won't be a 'real date', cause we will be on the job. Will the arrow be there? Wait... will you go as the Arrow? That'd be so hot... not that I think you're hot...uhum, yes you are ho... I'll shut up now." Felicity babbled, as she turned crimson red.
Digg had an amused look on his face, while Oliver couldn't help but smile. He liked it how her head to mouth filter usually didn't work. It was the highlight of his day to hear her talk like that. It's so endearing. You got to love her. Huh? Oliver shook his head, as he realized what he just thought. Where did that come from?
"So, you two will pose as a couple and when everyone is too drunk, you'll go and get the data from King's office. Yes? It's as simple as taking..." Digg began, but got cut off by Oliver and Felicity.
"Don't say 'as taking candy from a baby" the two said in unison.
"Hey! Why you two ganging up on me like that?" Digg said, frowning at the two.
Felicity clapped in her hands and said."This is so cool!"

The plan was set in motion and all Felicity needed right now, was a costume. As she got through her wardrobe piece by piece, her heart dropped.
"Aaargh! I've got nothing to wear! What am I gonna do?" She exclaimed.
She was at the end of her rope and walked to the kitchen to get some ice cream. That tasty, cold sweet stuff will give her an idea on what to wear. She was just about to eat a second spoonful of mokka ice cream, when she heard her doorbell.
"Who could that be?"
Felicity walked to her door and was very surprised to see a delivery guy with a huge package in his hands.
"Miss Smoak? Felicity Smoak?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yes, that's me!" She replied.
"This is for you. Please sign here."
"Thank you." She retorted.
The man walked away, leaving Felicity excited behind.
'Oliver.' She thought and walked back to her bedroom. Her heart almost jumped up, when she saw the dress and mask. WOW...

The party was on full swing, when Oliver arrived at the ball. He had planned to pick Felicity up, but she insisted at the last minute that he should go first. She was running a bit late, so as he waited for her there, he could double check if their plan was foolproof. Oliver had done that 3 times already and still no sign of Felicity.
"Where is she?" He muttered, clearly losing his patience.
"She'll be there soon, Oliver. Don't worry. Relax."Digg said.
Oliver let out a breath and shook his head.
"I... uhum, WE need her for this plan to work. Without her, this plan will crash and burn." Oliver replied, as he took a sip from his drink.
"Relax, man." Digg retorted.
"We only have one chance to get the data. Tomorrow, Terence King will leave Starling City and I bet you a 1000 bucks that he'll disappear from the face of the earth."
"Don't worr..." Digg began.
"If you say relax one more time, I swear Digg, you'll regret it." Oliver threatened.
"Come on you two. Play nice." They heard a smooth, feminine voice say.
"Finally! Felicity, where are you? I... uhum, WE need you in here now." Oliver growled impatiently.
"I'm right up here, Oliver. Don't act so grumpy. On the stairway, hello..." Felicity said in a sing song voice.
Oliver turned around and looked up. There she was on the stairway, looking absolutely BREATHTAKING!
His eyes almost fell out of their eyesockets, his mouth opening slightly.
"Are you alright, Oliver?" Digg asked.
Oliver didn't hear his employee. From the second his eyes found Felicity, her appearance had enchanted him. He watched in awe, as she walked down the steps. It was like she was floating on those high heels. When Oliver picked out that dress for her, he never in a million years thought that she'd look like this. Felicity looked like she stepped out of a fairy tale...
The colour of the dress was dark green, plenty of little shiny stones on the top and it hugged her body curves all at the right places. Her shiny, blonde hair was up and she had the green mask over her gorgeous eyes. WOW...
As Felicity's feet hit the last step of the stairs, the DJ had switched songs from upbeat to this one. It was 'All I need' by Within Temptation. At that second, a switch turned in Oliver's mind. His heart rammed against his ribcage, as he walked towards this remarkable, gorgeous young woman. Felicity. Felicity. Felicity.
Tadum, tadum, tadum. That's how loud and fast his heart was beating, his attention solely on her. And she'd choosen that exact moment to smile shyly. He didn't see anyone else, he didn't hear anything else but that song.
'All my agony fades away, when you hold me in your embrace.'
And finally... she was within his grasp, right in front of him... her delicious scent invading and teasing his nostrils. Strawberry and papaya was it. He closed his eyes for a second and inhaled that scent, so it was imprinted in his brain from now on. With his eyes and heart, he took in her magical appearance and swore to never ever let go of the Masterpiece that was Felicity Smoak.
"May I have this dance, miss?" He asked, his heart beating like crazy.
Let me know what you think, you all. :)
