They had kept tabs on Starling for the first few months, until Oliver had stated he didn't want to know anymore, because it made him miss the Arrow, and he had given it up for the right reasons. There was no more dangling maybes. He felt something for Felicity and it had only grown stronger for the past year and three months./p

He ran and index finger down her spine, where she looked up at him. "Mm, hi, what are you doing?" She queried. "It felt nice."/p

He smiled, in the past year Felicity knew more about him than anyone ever had come close too. She learned about the tortures, Maseo's child and how his first ever time he was tortured was by Sara from the League of Assassins. Felicity was shocked at that, her anger had built up. Oliver calmed her down, but it was just as good as getting to know her back story. He still hadn't learned about her father./p
