Felicity was in full panic mode right now but was taking in deep breaths. What had she done? How did she not notice he was Oliver freaking Queen? The guy was plastered all over the news all the time and his playboy past was not going to help her at all.
Since she was not talking but trying to compose herself, Oliver smiled his charming smile.
"Well I did not see this coming." Oliver said as he kept smiling.
"Oliver what are you doing here and with Felicity?" Laurel asked as Oliver tried to compose himself since it looked like Felicity was not going to start talking any time soon.
"Well I… I'm … Felicity's boyfriend and I really didn't know that the wedding my girlfriend is taking me to is the one of my best friend." Oliver said as Donna squeaked.
"Buy the size of that ring, it looks like you are a lot more than a boyfriend… more like a fiancé." She said as she took Felicity's hand gasping over the engagement ring that was probably the one that her fiancé give her.
"Mom, stop it." Felicity whispered to Donna.
"Oh how rude of us come in." Quentin said with a smile as he led them inside to the living room where Sara was sipping on her eggnog and almost choked as she saw Oliver.
"Oliver? You are the boyfriend Felicity talked about?" she questioned as Donna dragged Felicity closer to Sara showing her the ring.
"Oh honey. He is a fiancé now." She said as Sara almost dropped her glass.
"Never thought I was going to hear the words Oliver Queen and engaged in the same sentence." Laurel told Tommy."You didn't know did you?" she asked as Tommy looked from Oliver to his fiancé.
"He is my best friend. I know everything about him. Why wouldn't he tell me this?" Tommy asked as Laurel just shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know. You are going to have to ask him that." Laurel said to him as she walked over to the girls, who were admiring the ring as Oliver come up to Tommy.
"Look I know…." Oliver started but Tommy stopped him mid sentence.
"How could you not tell me? This is great. I mean I never thought you would fall in love. You always said that there was no woman in this world who would want to be with you and not take a piece of the Queen cake. You never trusted women." Tommy said as he smiled. "I'm glad that's changed. Felicity is an amazing girl. You are lucky." He told him as Oliver sighed watching over at the blonde who was smiling shyly.
"She is special." Was all Oliver said as Tommy observed the girls and then noticed.
"You didn't give her your mom's ring?" he asked, knowing the family tradition that the engagement ring is passed on to the next bride generation after generation.
"Mom doesn't know either. And neither does Thea." Oliver told him and just as Tommy was about to ask him why, the doorbell rang as Quentin ran to answer it letting Caitlin and Barry in.
"You guys are just in time." He told them as he took their coats. "This is Oliver." He presented him as Oliver smiled. "Felicity's fiancé but I guess you Cait already know that right?" he said as Caitlin stood there shocked.
"Yeah. Excuse me." She said as she walked over to where Felicity was cornered by her mother and the rest of the family. "Do you ladies mind if I steal her for a few seconds… we have to… talk about… some private… thing." Caitlin said with a smile as she dragged Felicity into the room upstairs shutting the door behind her.
"Hi Cait." Was all Felicity said as her best friend looked at her.
"Ok can you actually explain to me how Oliver Queen is pretending to be your fiancé while your actual fiancé is somewhere on the other side of the world having a meeting with the Chinese?" Caitlin said as Felicity took a seat on the bed.
"It's kind of a long story." She said as Caitlin just blinked a few times at that. "Ok I met him at the airport but I didn't realize that he was Oliver Queen. I told him about my situation and he agreed to help me if I go to the wedding of his best friend which is kind of the wedding for my sister so we are doing each other a favor." She said in one breath. "Maybe it's not that long of a story." Caitlin just sighed at that.
"And what are you going to do when you have to marry your real fiancé? What are you going to tell your mom?" Caitlin asked as Felicity shrugged "You didn't think of that, did you?" Felicity just shook her head. "How could you have not realized that he is Oliver Queen? That is what I don't get." Caitlin asked laughing.
"I just didn't ok. I was not paying attention. He just seemed like a nice guy and he offered me his help." At that, Caitlin started laughing harder. "Why are you laughing now?" Felicity asked as Caitlin was bracing herself from laughter.
"I don't think anybody had ever called Oliver Queen nice." She said as Felicity closed her eyes.
"What am I going to do Cait?" she asked with a sigh as there was a knock on the door and Donna's head popped into the room and she smiled.
"Girls dinner's ready. Why don't you both come down." She said as both Caitlin and Felicity nodded.
Once they were all seated down at the table, Laurel was the one to break the ice of uncomforted at the table.
"So… Oliver how did you and Felicity meet exactly?" She asked with a smile as Felicity felt panic rising. She felt like she was going to throw up but Oliver squeezed her hand in reassures and she looked up to him and he smiled.
"Well as you know now that mom has retired I'm the new CEO of Queen Incorporated and we had some deals with Palmer Tech and at one meeting I meet her and I couldn't help but think, who this amazing creature is? She was brilliant." He told them as he looked at Felicity, who could not believe a man could lie so well. "But when I asked her to go out with me she refused." He said and they all laughed. "But I was persistent I… I even did the 100 roses trick and after some time she said yes and I haven't let her got since." And as he said that he leaned down and kissed her. Felicity was a little taken back.
She had her fair share of kisses in her life but nothing like this. It was sweet and passionate at the same time and once he let go, it left her wanting more.
"I'm only sorry that when I proposed I didn't do it with the family ring." He said to them and Donna looked at him curious. "My family has this tradition of the family ring that is passed on from bride to bride. My grandmother had given it to my father when he was going to propose to my mother and well… I just didn't get the time to ask my mother for the ring but… trust me Mrs. Lance, your daughter will be no exception." He told them.
"That is a nice story Oliver. How many generations has the ring passed?" Donna asked curiously.
"About ten I think." He said as he took a bite from his food as Felicity took a sip from her wine.
"The Queen's have always valued traditions Donna. Trust me. I grew up with them. I think I was in Oliver's house more than I was in my own." Tommy said as they all laughed.
The rest of the night had gone smoothly and Oliver had played his role of the loving fiancé surprisingly well constantly keeping his hand around Felicity protectively like he was afraid somebody would steal her away. He had also kissed her a couple of times and Felicity would just lose the ground that was under her feet and her legs would turn to jello.
It was ridiculous since he was not her boyfriend nor her fiancé, who was in China probably having lunch with the investors by now while she was here with her family pretending to be engaged to Oliver Queen; kissing him and maybe just maybe liking it.
Once they had all separated, Cait and Barry went to their hotel as well as Laurel and Tommy and she was now alone with Oliver in her room. It had not changed much since she never really lived here long. There was nothing much of hers left in it.
"I never would have said that this was what your room looked like." Oliver said and in that moment Felicity realized how angry she was at him while he was standing in front of her she slapped him and he just froze. "Ok I deserved that. Anything else you wanna do?" he asked her as she shook her head.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked him as he looked at her with a smile.
"You were the one who just assumed I never told you anything that was not the truth. And what is the problem anyway?" he asked her as she looked at him and closed her eyes.
"You are Oliver Queen, Tommy's best friend. When we 'break up' it is going to be a disaster. I will not only hurt Tommy with it but the rest of my family as well. Since it looks like they adore you." She told him turning towards the bed and taking a seat.
"I think we should go to sleep. I'll take the couch." He told her as she looked up at him.
"No I'll take the couch. I'll be more comfortable on it. You are huge." And with that she bit her tongue. "My brain has a great timing to stop working." She said more to herself then to Oliver.
"What if we share the bed?" he asked as she looked up to him like he was insane. "I promise I will not try to do anything. I'm not that kind of guy. Cross my heart." He told her as she sighed.
"I'm going to the bathroom to change." She said as she opened her suitcase and took her pjs and left Oliver sitting on the bed.
What in the hell has this woman done to him?
