A Woman of Distinction

AN – This was written for AriesPrincess-Slyffindor (details after the story so I don't ruin the surprise)! I'm always open to requests and am trying to work on some Guest requests. I do hate that I can't contact Guests for clarification and/or just to respond but pls know I read every review and do everything I can to do as you ask!

DISCLAIMER– Oddly enough no change in the legal status and I still own nothing!


Felicity was huddled under what was left of the desk when Oliver found her. It was perfectly natural for him to cup her face and force her eyes to his as he spoke.

"Felicity, are you okay?" Oliver's voice was deep but gentle.

"I got the data before the explosion." Felicity's voice trembled as she responded.

"Felicity, are you okay?" More force entered Oliver's voice even if his touch remained gentle.

Felicity nodded as she took a shaky breath and focused on Oliver's reassuring smile. He leaned close and just rested his forehead against hers. It felt perfectly natural to Felicity that he brushed his cheek against hers several times. It felt perfectly natural to Felicity that he very softly kissed away her tears. It felt perfectly natural to Felicity that he brushed his lips against hers.

This kiss transformed quickly from one of comfort to heat and Oliver pulled Felicity from under the desk to rest in his lap. Both took advantage of the closer contact and hands became frantic in their exploration.

"Ollie, are you okay? Do you have Felicity?" It was Sara whose voice came through their comms.

Felicity pulled back suddenly and it felt perfectly natural to swing an arm around and slap Oliver. As her eyes widened Felicity clapped her hand over her mouth in horror. Oliver simply looked at her.

"Oliver, you guys need to get out now." It was Diggle who spoke this time and Oliver clicked his comms unit to reply.

"I have her and we'll be out soon." Oliver clicked the unit back off and raised a brow in question as he continued to look at Felicity.

"Oliver, I'm so sorry! I don't know … you'd think I was some melodramatic romance novel heroine or something. I just … we're friends, right? Partners? You don't have a lot of female friends but you do have a lot of … well, women, even on the supposedly deserted Island you had women, a lot of women. And even if we are the only two people who know this I enjoy the distinction of being one of the few you have NOT slept with and I want to keep it that way. I've never been good at being one of the many, Oliver, I just can't do that … not even for you." Felicity looked away at that and tried to draw in a few quick breaths even as she tried to ignore the fact that she was still sitting on Oliver's lap.

"Felicity." Oliver's voice was again deep and gentle.

Felicity nervously met his eyes as he once again cupped her face. She gasped slightly at the very gentle look on his face even as she kept her eyes open while he brushed his lips against hers again.

"You are remarkable … you are definitely a woman of distinction." Oliver gave Felicity a gentle smile as he gave her those words.


AN2 – I know this is super short but the request was for a scene in which Felicity rejects Oliver and maybe even slaps him! I seriously doubt this is what you had in mind but once I saw it in my head I had to write it out! :) Also, while I said I would try for 2 endings I really can't seem to write anything other than this one but I'll keep this in mind though and see if I can take it any place else!
