Later that night, Felicity drove to Verdant. She normally took a cab, because she was so tired, but tonight she was wide awake.
The closer she got the more nervous she became, but she was almost there. She decided to valley parking, Oliver would take care of it. He always did.
The club was crowded, just as busy as last night. She made her way in, avoiding any and all questions.
Felicity didn't stay topside long, she made her way down to the lair, and got ready to work. She wondered what evil douche they were going after tonight.
"Felicity." Oliver said, nodding in her direction.
"Hey Oliver." Felicity mentally high fived herself for such a calm and collected response. "Hey Diggle."
Diggle came down the stairs. He nodded at her and Oliver.
"Are you ready, because I have a date with Carly."
Felicity smiled, she was glad that one of them was getting lucky in love. All her last dates had been complete failures. And Oliver dated a mob boss's daughter, while being hung up on his ex-girlfriend.
Oliver nodded. "Tonight is just re-con. I want to know who leaves Don Wrights, law office."
"Alright" Diggle said. "I will get my stuff."
"What about me?" Felicity asked. No way they would want her to come along.
"Could you take a look at his client list?" Oliver asked. Which was strange, he usually demanded things.
"No problem, I will get on that." Felicity sat down. She was ready for a night of solitude.
But an hour later Oliver came in. Minus the hood.
Felicity was surprised that Oliver was here. She had expected Diggle to bail on him, and that would cause Oliver to stake out the building on his own.
"Why are you back?" Felicity questioned.
"Thanks for the welcome." Oliver remarked. "Nice to see you too."
"You know what I meant." Felicity corrected.
Oliver laughed lightly. He had wanted to be more personable towards Felicity. "Dig had a date, and I needed to make an appearance in the club. Social media sites are wondering where I am." Oliver pulled out his phone in order to show Felicity the alerts he was getting.
"So why are you down here, the club is upstairs." Felicity said. Instantly she was worried that was out of line.
Oliver was amused, rather than offended. "I know, but I wanted to freshen up. Why don't you join me, you seem to work too much."
Felicity didn't know what to say. "I'll be back in five, and then we will go up."
Oliver's tone left little room for argument.
Felicity closed down several tabs. Honestly she had just been suffering the web. Not really working that hard, but Oliver didn't need to know that.
Oliver was fast, he was club ready within seconds.
"You know, I'm not really dressed for clubbing." Felicity motioned.
"Relax, you look stunning." Oliver said casually. He saw Felicities eyes light up at the compliment. She looked so surprised. He must have been an ass, that telling her a simple fact, made her surprised.
"After you." Oliver motioned.
The club was massively busy. People everywhere, lights flashing, people drinking and dancing. The moment Felicity reached the floor her eyes were bombarded with flashes of lights. It took her a moment to adjust, while Oliver just walked in naturally, but then again he had tons of club experiences.
One thing was for sure, she was really underdressed. All the girls were in smoking hot dresses, and the guys were all in trendy outfits. No one was in jeans and a blouse. This was not her scene.
Oliver noticed Felicity's discomfort, and guided her towards the bar. "How about a drink." Oliver said into her ear.
Felicity nodded, while trying not to shiver at Olivers touch.
Oliver ordered a vodka soda.
"I will have a whiskey shot, and a rum and coke."
Oliver raised his eyebrow at the strange order but didn't comment. Felicity took the shot, it calmed her nerves enough for her to focus.
Oliver really enjoyed observing Felicity, she was a unique person. He liked that. He felt comfortable around her, which was strange. But she was the only person who didn't compare him to the old Oliver Queen, she saw him for who he was now.
"What now?" Felicity yelled.
Oliver shrugged, "this is the part where you let your hair down, and have fun."
"You have fun?" Felicity mocked.
"I said you." Oliver retorted.
"I will if you will." Felicity replied.
"Fine, we will have fun." Oliver conceded.
"How?" Felicity questioned.
Oliver laughed, he had no clue. He stopped having fun a long time ago.
"How about a dance. I used to have moves, but I think there gone now."
"I never had any to begin with." Felicity said.
Oliver grabbed her hand leading her towards the dance floor. "I doubt that." He whispered. This time Felicity couldn't help but shiver.
Oliver could feel the spark between them too. He wasn't stupid. But for once Oliver Queen was at a loss for what to do. Women were far more complicated now. He wished he had taken a stronger shot.
The music was pumping, he tried to channel the old Oliver. The old Oliver would know what to do, he would sweep Felicity off her feet.
Stop he should be trying not to lead her on. A relationship with a broken man was not fair.
Oliver looked at Felicity, and rational thought disappeared.
They started dancing, at first it was awkward, but the atmosphere and the music was infectious. The two got lost in the moment, and did their best not to think, and let the moment guide them. The chemistry they had together took over. Anyone watching would have thought they were a couple.
And people were watching.
Felicity looked Oliver in the eye, and in that moment, she wanted him so badly. Oliver was about to make the first move when a bouncer came over. There was a managerial issue.
Both of them sighed. The moment passed.
"I am so sorry Felicity, this will only take a moment. They need me to sign a check for the DJ, or he walks." Oliver wanted to break the DJ's neck for the interruption.
"It's alright, I think I will be going though, I do have work. And like any normal human being I need sleep. So bye." Felicity was really flustered, and she knew that she needed to clear her head.
Oliver just motioned for his bouncer "Make sure she gets a cab, alright."
"Sure thing boss, sorry for the interruption."
Oliver nodded and walked away. Something had changed between him and Felicity, he wondered if it was a good thing or not.
Felicity woke up the next morning, at the ring of her alarm clock. She remembered the events of last night, she was probably over reacting. There was no way she and Oliver had a moment. They were just having fun.
She went downstairs, she thought she would have to call a cab, but her car had been returned to her. She knew that she should have been surprised, but then again Oliver had done a lot crazy things.
Felicity kept reminding herself that it was just a dance all morning. When she got to the office she turned on her computer, she had bookmarked the Oliver Queen search. She thought one click couldn't hurt.
'Oliver Queen and new the Romance.' She read the Article after seeing the picture of her walking out of the back room of the club with Oliver.
Oliver Queen was noticeably absent for most of last nights party, people were begin to wonder if the club mogel was even at his own event. But when he exited the back room, with none other than last nights alley girl, it became clear he had more important things on his mind than his own event. It seems that this was not a one night thing. The two must have spent several hours together, as no one saw either Oliver, or Felicity Smoke (IT Specialist at Queen Consolidated) on the floor at all. The two must have stayed in the backroom for at least 2 hours, we aren't saying what happened, we leave that to the readers imagination. The pair continued the evening on the dance floor, before Ms. Smoke left, and Oliver finished the night at the bar. Is the new romance going to last or was it a fluke. Sound off in the comments.
Felicity was too afraid to read the comments.
God this was not good at all. The whole world was going to think there was something going on with Oliver, and the worst part was, she was attracted to him. This was not good at all. Not good at all.
Oliver had seen the tabloid stories. They didn't concern him. Rumours stopped bothering him a long time ago. He was busy trailing the latest name on the list. This was what he was good at. Since he had been back, Oliver realized he was no good with women. He did not want to screw up his friendship with Felicity. It was too important. He would avoid her until the whole situation blew over. Felicity didn't see him as anything more than a boss. She had too.
Felicity deserved a lot better than someone like him. He was not going to ruin her life. Yet the idea of her with someone else was horrible. But he knew that Felicity wouldn't be single for long. She was too amazing not to be noticed.
Oliver looked at the law office building. It seemed like any ordinary business, except for the fact that the leading and founding partner, loved to help gang bangers get off. Even if that meant jury tampering, witness intimidation and a whole host of other crimes.
Oliver went to the opposite building, once on the roof, he step up a camera, and took note of each person to enter and exit the office.
It was relaxing to do a simple task. Oliver knew that he like the solitude. He checked his phone, he saw that there was a missed call from Thea, Tommy, and Diggle. He had a feeling this was about Felicity, he had no desire to be interrogated.
Yet even on this rooftop, his thoughts drifted to Felicity.
