Their first date, skating and Flashback to a sleepover
The next night, Felicity stands in front of her full-length mirror, checking over her outfit. She had chosen to wear a pair of dark wash jeans and a mint green sweater; she had paired it with a pair of black boots and a white scarf. Laurel had said casual after all, she had just finished putting the final touches on her make-up and putting her contacts in, when a knock sounds through her apartment. Felicity rushes down the stairs, fixing her hair before pulling the door open. "Hey there." She says to the blonde standing on the other side of the door, a bouquet of flowers in her hand. "You look gorgeous, Fliss. These are for you." Laurel states, offering Felicity the flowers. She moves to the side, taking the flowers from Laurel and finding a vase. As she fills the vase with water, she looks over at Laurel. Laurel had chosen to wear a pair of black skinny jeans and red blouse, causing Felicity to smile. She had always loved Laurel in red. "You look incredible, Laur. Thank you for the flowers." She says, with a smile, putting the vase of flowers on the breakfast bar. "Thought we should do this right, are you ready to go?" She asks, leaning against the counter. "Are you going to tell me what we are doing or do I have to guess?" Felicity asks, grabbing her purse, keys and phone from the bench. "Well first we are going out for dinner and then we are doing two different activities; something you will enjoy and something I like doing." Laurel answers, standing to the side to allow Felicity to lock up her apartment. As the two women make their way towards the restaurant, Laurel slips her hand into Felicity's as they walk, their hands swinging between them.
After a night of pizza, reading and ice-skating, Laurel walks Felicity back to her apartment, neither willing to let the night end. "I have two pints of ice-cream in my freezer and trashy reality TV, if you want to join me?" Felicity asks, leaning against the door frame, having not unlocked her apartment door yet. The smile Laurel gives sets butterflies off in Felicity's stomach as she unlocks the door, leaving Laurel to lock it behind herself. "Mint choc chip or cookie dough?" Felicity asks from her freezer, turning to look at Laurel. "Cookie dough, please. I always prefer it over mint choc chip." Laurel states before walking over to Felicity, who now stands at the kitchen bench, grabbing two spoons. Wrapping her arms around the smaller girls waist, Laurel rests her head on Felicity's shoulder, smiling as Felicity leans back into the embrace; her hands coming up to rest on her arms. Felicity turns her head, placing a soft kiss on Laurel's cheek, smiling as a blush covers the taller blonde's cheek. "Thank you for tonight, it was an amazing first date." Felicity whispers as she pulls back from Laurel's cheek. "You are welcome; it was my pleasure to take a gorgeous girl out." Laurel retorts, turning Felicity in her arms. "But I don't quite believe our night is over yet?" She raises an eyebrow in question, causing a giggle from Felicity who nods; turning back around to grab the ice-cream and spoons.
Sitting on the couch, cuddled up; the two girls devour the pint of cookie dough ice-cream, placing the empty container on the coffee table. Moving around, Laurel lays down with Felicity on top, her head resting in the crook of Laurel's shoulder. Three hours later, Felicity nods off; while Laurel unconsciously runs her hand through blonde locks, her own eyes closing as she follows Felicity into / The next morning, Felicity is the first one to wake; feeling warm and secure. She blinks her eyes open, feeling Laurel's even breathing below her. She doesn't move from her place, on top of Laurel, her eyes re closing as she focuses on Laurel's breathing. While she focuses on her girlfriend's breathing, her mind wanders slightly.
It was the first time Laurel and her had fallen asleep during movie night; which wasn't too surprising as Team Arrow had, had a long week. They had to postpone their fortnightly movie night, because the team had rung; needing Felicity and Laurel. She blinks the sleep from her eyes as she picks her head up from Laurel's shoulder, feeling the aches and pain from sleeping on the couch. It wasn't the first time, Laurel had stayed over; but that normally happened when it got too late for her to drive home. The title screen for 'Something Borrowed,' played softly in the background, she doesn't even remember watching the movie, which means she likely fell asleep early in.
She is brought out of her day dream by a voice under her, "I can hear you thinking and it's really loud." Laurel whispers, trying to not startle Felicity. "Sorry, Laur, did I wake you up?" She asks, moving slightly to get a better look at Laurel. "No, I would have woken up shortly anyway." Laurel explains, her eyes locking with Felicity's. "Good morning, beautiful." Laurel whispers, leaning up to place a kiss to Felicity's cheek. "Good morning, babe." Felicity responds, placing a kiss to Laurel's nose. "How'd you sleep?" She asks, lying back down. "I don't know about you, but I slept like a baby." Laurel responds, her hands rubbing circles on the smaller blondes back. "So did I. It must have been the company." Felicity answers, relaxing into the touch.
Two hours, two showers and a breakfast later, Laurel and Felicity stand in the small entry way. "I'll see you at work tonight, beautiful." Laurel states, leaning down to catch Felicity's lips in a soft kiss; which causes Felicity to smile into it. "I'll see you then, babe." She responds, as they pull back. Felicity watches as Laurel opens the door and steps out. Felicity steps up to the door, holding it open as Laurel walks down the hall. She closes the door with a happy sigh, before sliding down the door; a happy smile in place.
