Oliver walked Felicity down the hall of her apartment building. "This is me," Felicity pointed to the right. Oliver just nodded. She pulled out her keys and unlocked the door. When she opened it, she turned around. "Thanks again for saving me, Oliver."
"I had to. I wasn't going to let that guy kill you for a vendetta he had against my family." He looked at her. All of her makeup was off because she had washed her face at HQ. He had never noticed how amazing she looked without it.
"Um, do you want to come in? I could get you some coffee. Or hard liquor," Oliver gave her a strange look. "Which I don't have. Because it was a joke… but do you want to come in?" Oliver shrugged. "I guess." He looked around the living room. The furniture reminded him of the dollhouse Thea used to play with when she was younger. To Oliver, everything was petite, like Felicity. She sat on one of the couches and patted the cushion next to her, so he came and sat. "So how have you been lately?" Oliver asked, trying to make conversation. "Oh, you mean besides being kidnapped by some crazy dude? I have been okay." Her smile was contagious. "I've mostly been sitting at home watching those terribly cheesy Hallmark movies. They are really dumb but I just needed some me time."
Oliver raised his eyebrow. "It's nice to know what you like to do when you are avoiding other people."
"Well I wasn't avoiding. More just not talking to you because I was upset."
"Yeah, sorry to ask this but wasn't Barry with you?" Felicity just sighed. "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that, that is the whole reason we were in this mess."
She was looking down, fidgeting with her hands. "No it's fine. Barry left a week ago. He couldn't have helped."
"A week? Why didn't you come in at all?"
"Like I said, I needed some me time."
"Hey, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It's not your fau—"
"No, I mean I'm sorry for being such a douche bag. I was just jealous."
Felicity looked up, confused. "What were you jealous of? Barry? Come on Oliver. You're the one who basically told me you didn't like me in that way." Her tone wasn't angry this time though. She was just stating a fact. Oliver had more or less declined a relationship after they had come back from Russia. He decided that he wasn't going to go by that plan anymore, though. Diggle was right when he told Oliver that he already cared a lot. "Felicity," he looked her at her tired face, "what if I told you I was wrong in Moscow?"
She stood up. "I would tell you that you are right. Right now, I mean." It was obvious she was getting uncomfortable with the situation at hand. "Felicity, sit down. I'm not trying to make you feel weird." She sat back down, but she still looked uncomfortable. "I'm tired of lying to you… I'm tired of lying to myself."
They were looking straight at each other again. There was a pause of silence but then Oliver put his hand toward the back of her neck and pulled her in for a kiss. It wasn't long, but it was a sweet kiss. When he pulled away, he just looked at her. Felicity realized that she wasn't uncomfortable anymore. But she felt her cheeks get hot, which meant that they were getting redder by the second. They stared at each other for a moment, but then Oliver leaned in to kiss her again. This time, it was longer, more passionate. He put his hands on her sides but she pulled away. "Ow. Ow." He had touched her cut.
"Sorry." But she just smiled. "It's okay," and grabbed his shirt and pulled him back in. Oliver picked her up and carried her to the other room. He laid her gently on the bed, kissing her the entire time, and they resumed only pausing to breath.
Oliver had finally made his move. He was tired of holding back his feelings for Felicity. The whole night, he didn't worry himself thinking about whether or not he'd lose her because right then and there, he had her. She was his and he was hers. Not a single thing in the world could tear them apart. This time he would not let her go. He wouldn't push her away. He would keep her close and just kiss her.
Hey guys, I hope you liked it! It's my first multi-chapter story, so let me know. ;)
