...

I was beginning to think that I was destined to be alone forever. Felicity Meghan Smoak M.I.T graduate and crazy cat lady

Being single had never really bothered me before but just lately watching all my friends settle down into serious relationships brought me to a realization. If I didn't put myself 'out there' I was going to be alone forever.

Admittedly my life revolved around work and achieving my own personal targets, I'd always considered myself too selfish to be in a relationship. My love of work had stemmed from growing up in a single parent family and watching my mom work every possible hour to give me everything I ever wanted.

I gazed down at the large glass of red wine that sat in front of me. Tonight had been a disaster- a complete disaster.

"Penny for your thoughts" a rugged voice captured my attention, startling me.

I glanced up almost losing my balance for a second. "I-"the words disappeared from the tip of my tong as I stared up into most beautiful blue eyes. They belonged to the bar tender.

He was ridiculously good looking almost too good looking. His chiseled jaw was home to perfectly groomed stubble, his hair was short, blond - the color of caramel. His muscular torso was hidden under a tight black t-shirt which was home to the Verdant logo.

"You wouldn't want to listen to my ramblings seriously I have more issues than vogue" I said still slightly flustered.

The mysterious bar man let out a small chuckle "I'm a barman. That's what I do- listen to people's problems- Usually solved by copious amounts of alcohol."

"That I like the sound of "I smiled pushing my glass forward for a refill.

"Bad day?"

"Like you wouldn't believe, I mean firstly I turn up at work with odd shoes on, I know what you're thinking how is that even possible? Trust me it is. Then I get pushed into this blind date and the guy doesn't even show up. And now here I am conversing with the barman and drowning my sorrows."

The bar man laughed and handed me my glass of red.

"If the guy didn't show up for the date then you've probably had a lucky escape. You deserve better than that".

"Your right I do- Felicity Merlyn. I didn't like the sound of his last name anyway it would have never have worked out. "

"Merlyn? As in Tommy Merlyn?" The bar man cocked his head looking highly amused.

"Yup, you know him?" I said helping myself to one of the Olives from the bar.

"He's sort of my best friend" the bar man winced running his hands through his hair.

"Wait a minute, your Oliver Queen? As in.. Multi-Billionaire? International Playboy? Shipwrecked stud muffin?"

"The one and only" Oliver laughed "And you are?"

I tried my best to compose myself. I was talking to Oliver Queen about my problems. The Oliver Queen. Oh my fricking god.

"Felicity, Felicity Meghan Smoak but my friends call me Lissy".

"Well Lissy it's a pleasure to meet you" Oliver said offering me a handshake over the bar.

I took hold of his hand enthusiastically knocking over my wine in the process.

"Shit I'm sorry and I'm sorry for swearing. I literally never swear." I blushed.

"Felicity chill its fine seriously, I'll grab you another glass on the house that was my fault completely".

I didn't argue with Oliver. I was enjoying his company- He was surprisingly intelligent and had what I considered to be a decent sense of humor.

Oliver handed me the new glass of wine which I grasped tightly in my hand to avoid another spillage.

"So I guess is the point where I tell you that you're technically my boss."

"You work at Queen's Consolidated?" Oliver said looking pleasantly surprised.

"I do indeed in the I.T department".

"How come I've never seen you before?"

"Probably because I don't have double D's and an ass like JLO" I whispered under my breath. " I dunno I guess QC is a huge place and I don't have you down as the type of guy who spends a whole lot of time in the I.T department. Not that I'm judging you because I'm probably the least judgmental person you'll ever meet." I said taking a large gulp of my wine.

"Well Felicity I've got to say I've really enjoyed our little chat but I seriously have to get back to work. I'll be sure to tell Tommy how much of an idiot he is and how great you are. And I'll see you around? Who knows I might even bump into you at work".

"Sure" I smiled not believing a word that had just left Oliver's incredibly perfect lips.
