It was a normal day for felicity; she usually wakes up at 6.30 to get an early start of the day, shower and prepare breakfast while catching up on the latest in pop culture world. Which she learnt that Kim and Kanye are getting married, really, isn't Kim tired of getting married, hopefully this marriage last longer than 72 days this time! And that teen boy Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have broken up again as usual.
Her day was going as usual until heard someone called her name from behind her, "Felicity Smoak?" the man asked. As she turns around she saw this hot god of a man standing in front of her desk. Felicity suddenly realize she was face to face with Oliver Queen, the 'Oliver Queen' she saw frequently on the news, the billionaire son who was missing for 5 years and suddenly came back from the dead is standing right in front of her. Damn, he hotter in person..come on felicity, pull yourself together.
"Hey I'm Oliver Queen" Oliver said introducing himself with a smile
Of course your oliver queen, who else could you befelicity said silently to herself "of course, I know who you are Mr. Queen."
"No, Mr. Queen was my father." Oliver then said with a smile as he corrected her.
"right, he dead…I mean he drowned, but you didn't which means you can come down to the IT department and listen to me babble in 3..2..1." she said as she closed her eyes with embarrassment.
That was the moment where oliver told her a ridiculous cover story about being in a coffee shop which was located in a bad neighborhood, and how that was the reason why his laptop ended up with bullet holes. But felicity knew it was full of bullshit, so she decided not to get involve in obvious family drama and ignore the fact that was clearly lying,
After that he kept returning with more and more crappier excusing or cover stories, whatever he wanted to call them. This involved her having to crack a flash drive which was military protected and web searching a man who he claims was one of his long lost close friends.
So when he revealed himself as the vigilante that night in the back of her car, everything she had question and suspected about oliver queen had finally made sense. That night, felicity had just finish a long day at Queen Consolidated and all she wanted to do was go home, take a long bath and catch up on the Game of Thrones.
As she was about to start her car, someone in the back seat starting to move and for some reason they had known her name. what the hell, please tell me I don't have a stalker, why would an IT girl have a stalker hell I'm a genius but that don't mean I'm stalker material…breathe felicity stay calm.
"How do you know my name?" she asked trying to keep calm
"Because you know my name" he said removing his hood revealing his face and there he was, it was oliver in a green hoodie with paint under his eyes and a bullet wound.
And there it was, the realization of oliver queen and who the vigilante really was. "felicity..felicity!" oliver said with a frustrated look, he been calling her name trying to get her attention for the past 5 mins.
"huh, yes..yes" felicity said snapping back into reality.
"are you okay?" oliver asked with a concern look on his face, something is up with her and whether or not she going to tell him what it is, he going to make it his mission to find out what bothering her.
"yes, I'm fine just got a lot on my mind that all….how can I help?" oliver knew it was more than that but figure now wasn't the best time to pressure her about it.
"I want know how the leads going on the bombers…did get any ID on them yet" oliver said as he put down his practice arrows and headed back to her desk.
"ahhh no they are still scanning" felicity replying as she turn to face him, gosh can he be any more sexy with sweat running down on his chest
Felicity was remembering earlier of the first day she and oliver met and his crappy cover stories. And how from the beginning she knew he was a bad liar but still was willing to help because that who she was.
And of the night his mother shot him as the vigilante and turn to her for help, at first when oliver and diggle ask her to join TeamArrow that what she calls them, she thought she never want to be caught up in all of the drama and illegal activities that comes with the vigilante. She would only offer her skills to help find Walter and get back to her boring life.
However, along the way she started to believe in the vigilante and also in oliver, that he actually was doing good in the city and making a difference one bad guy at a time more than she can say for some people. And it was too long the feeling for oliver started to surface either and it became even harder to focus around him, watching his every move getting jealous at the mention of one of the ladies in his life.
But what was she thinking there nowhere in hell Oliver Queen would date her, what does she has to offer to compare to the others "the laurel", his crazy ex Helena, Mckenna and don't even get her started on Sara. Let's face it, I'm not his type
Felicity was about to finish up when oliver approach her "I'm having dinner with Sara and her family and I was wondering if you are ready to go" Oliver asked as he was putting on his black jacket. Him or Diggle would usually walk felicity to her car when they are done for the night, after the fall of the Glades it was unsafe for women to be alone at night.
Oh course, he having dinner with the lances felicity thought as she roll her eyes "yea, sure let me shut down and then I'm ready to go" felicity said trying to hide the frustration in her voice as she turn towards him. She sent the running software to tablet and shut down and within 20mins Oliver and her was heading towards her car.
"Goodnight, enjoy the dinner with the lances" felicity said as she hurried to open her car door, not looking back at oliver who had confused look on his face.
"wait felicity" Oliver called out behind her
"what the hell is up with you" oliver said pulling her to face him so he can look felicity in her eyes, they somehow can reveal truth in each other eyes. Something oliver would to anything to stop, felicity often can read him and tell when he lying or hiding something when she looks into his eyes and it scares the living hell out of him.
"you aren't acting like yourself today, you were phasing out and being quiet and hardly babbling" Oliver stated as he release her arm and stepping back creating space between them
It might not be how oliver wanted to bring it up, but enough was enough and it was driving him crazy so to hell with it.
Right there, felicity stood there frozen and battling on whether or not to finally tell him the truth. On how much those words he said about not dating someone he can really care about hurt like hell and to top it all off after walking to his hotel room in Russia, to be greeted by Ms. Rochev leaving his room while oliver hold the door, was like pouring vinegar on an open cut. Or whether or not to tell him how much she loves him and how jealous she is that he back with Sara again.
No she can't tell him, it would change everything between them, what if he don't love me back, what if it was all in my head, no, then you can imagine how awkward it would be when they have to work together. "it nothing, oliver, I'm just having a off day nothing a goodnight sleep can't fix." Felicity said with a bright smile trying to reassure him although she wasn't sure who she was trying to reassuremore oliver or herself.
Oliver knew it wasn't nothing, but checking his watch he realize it was getting late and he made a promise to sara to be there so he decided to let it be for now "okay, then I would see you tomorrow, goodnight felicity."
With that oliver turn around and headed towards his car.
