Lose My Mind Chapter 2

An hour later Felicity was walking out to the back of Oliver's house. It was a nice two story home painted blue with white trim. Oliver had bought it a few years ago after he moved out of his parent's home after his personal gym had taken off. He now had four locations in Starling and Coast City. He earned good money which is why his back yard was so spectacular. The glass French doors lead out into a stone patio with a barbeque and fire pit to the right and a lounge area with a couch and chairs to the left. Beyond that was a grass area with plants and flowers everywhere. Oliver had a green thumb but didn't publish it. Trees lined the fence and there was a wooden swing chair by a small pond towards the back of the yard passed the pool. The pool was in the middle of the yard and had a concrete walk way surrounding it. On it was chairs to sunbathe and a cabana with a changing room and towels.

Felicity remembered her time there the summer before as she made her way to the pool. She hadn't been able to see Oliver or Tommy all that much because she was preparing for her finally year in college. The few times she had gotten to come over were some of the best memories she had. I wonder what other memories are in store. Just as she shed her outer clothes a voice called her name. Actually it was more of a squeal.

"Felicity! You are here!"

"Yeah, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see if Ollie wanted to get lunch."

"That's –uh- great!"

The one and only Thea Queen had thrown herself at Felicity and fell into her arms. Hugging her tightly she smiled at the girl who had become like a little sister to her. When she first started coming around the Queen household she wasn't sure how to interact with the little girl who had a glare that could terrify grown men. After babbling something along the lines that she had better fashion sense at age ten than most women had the walls come down. Since then the two had been close.

"Damn Blondie! You are working that bikini!" Thea exclaimed stepping back from the embrace. Felicity shook her head at the younger girl and started lathering on sunscreen. "I am serious! You will have Oliver drooling all over you."

"Why would I want that?" Felicity questioned intently putting on sun screen trying to play it off.

Thea scoffed, "Really? It's been years and you are still denying it. You have been in love with my brother since day one."

"He is my best friend. That is all." The rebuttal was dampened by the blush spreading across her skin and the nervous fidgeting of her hands.

"Thea! What are you doing here?" Oliver asked starting towards the girls from inside the house. He hugged his sister and looked at Felicity. Immediately he felt as if he couldn't breathe. If he thought he was having trouble before, he was dead now. The bikini left nothing to the imagination. Plus she had let her hair down and taken off her glasses, leaving her highly more exposed than normal. She was a goddess. She is my best friend…my freaking sexy best friend…oh god help me.

Felicity saw his eyes widen and his mouth open slightly, she glanced at Thea who was hiding a smirk behind her hand. She cleared her throat and Oliver blinked a few times before turning back to his sister. Trying not to laugh at her clueless brother she answered his earlier question. "I came to see if you wanted to get lunch but I see you have a day planned with Blondie. So how about a rain check for later?"

"Sure Speedy, I'll call you to find out a time."

"Okay big bro, see you later. Bye Felicity." She hugged them both, whispering to Felicity a "told you so" before leaving.

"Alright let's get swimming!" Oliver said turning to Felicity who looked sheepish. He quirked an eyebrow in a silent question and she held up the sunscreen. Taking a second to understand, it finally hit him. She wants me to put in on her, my hands on her skin. She will be the death of me.

Bottling up his feelings of excitement and dread he reached out for the bottle and took it. He gestured for her to turn around since she was already standing. Usually there was a girl around when they went swimming like Sara or Laurel so he never had to do this for her before. There was a first time for everything. He squeezed out a fair amount and dropped to bottle to the chair to his left. He breathed in quickly and went for it. The moment his hand touched the area between her shoulders the world around them narrowed down to the two of them. Felicity bit her lip and started repeating code in her mind so she wouldn't moan at his hands on her. He rubbed one hand across her back then added the second and started rubbing it in. He pressed harder starting a massage in the defense that he didn't want it to just wash off the moment she jumped in.

He was so mesmerized by her soft skin under his hands and noticed that she was melting into him as he continued his ministrations. The heat between them was blossoming and it had nothing to do with it being summer time. A fuzzy feeling had taken over Felicity's body radiating from his hands. Please don't stop what you are doing. Then one of Oliver's fingers slipped under her bikini strap. It was as if a crackle of electricity hit them and she gasped "oh." The small outburst seemed to startle them both. His hands dropped from her body and rested at his side. She spun to look at him. Their eyes clashed and quickly darted away, each had the darkness of want in them. Oliver cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck, taking a deep breath he turned to take off his shirt. He didn't even chance glance at her but paused when she spoke.

"Umm so thanks, do you need any?", her voice was low and timid.

Flashes of her hands on him played through his mind and he knew there was no way he could control himself with that. "No, I am good. I want to tan some." He hoped it was a good excuse. He closed his eyes against the images and took off his shirt. Felicity almost groaned at the sight and was thankful for his decision but it didn't stop her from letting her mouth get the best of her.

"Oh okay, you look good with a tan, you look good all the time, especially when you are shirtless… Crap! I just said that out loud, I am shutting up now." Someone kill me.

Oliver looked over his shoulder at her and couldn't help but smile at her. She was standing there bright red and her head in her hands. It definitely wasn't the first time she had babbled about him but it had been few and far between lately. He had missed it. She is too cute. He chuckled before running at her, picking her up, and throwing her into the pool.

"Oliver!" She exclaimed and sputtered while coughing out water. He just laughed and jumped in after her. He came up next to her and rubbed water out of his eyes. She was glaring at him in distain. "Come on Smoak, you know you love me." She shook her head and a smile broke across her face lighting up her eyes. "Oh whatever, Queen." He smiled back and his eyes crinkled at the sides. He is too cute.

So how was it? Every review helps! I hope you have a great day! xoxo ~ Catie
