Thanks NIAGARAWEASEL for translate the whole Story; I would be lost without you ;)
Felicity entered the QC building this morning in an exceptionally good mood and looking forward to seeing Oliver again after their night together. He loved her, he had really said that he loved her. Thoughts of last night could still make her blush. Still smiling, she pushed the elevator button, determined that nothing could ruin her good mood today.
"Good morning, Ms Smoak, you seem to be in a good mood. Suddenly Isabel Rochev was standing beside her. "Good morning, Isabel. Yes, I am and even you are not going to change that," Felicity answered politely but firmly, before the arrival of the elevator interrupted the conversation. She pressed the button for the executive suite and noticed that Isabel seemed to have the same way. No, even she wouldn't ruin her mood today, under any circumstances.
"Did you have a private meeting with Mr. Queen or is something else responsible for your permanent smile?" Isabel fired the question off like a bullet. "No, Isabel, unlike you I only sleep with people I actually love,'" Felicity shot back, praying that the door would open very soon.
In his office Oliver felt completely relaxed. The night with Felicity had been unbelievable. She was a very special woman and he definitely wouldn't let her get away again.
Through the glass walls of his office he watched Isabel march up to his office, followed by Felicity who looked even more beautiful than usual today. He stood up when Isabel entered. "Good morning, Isabel," he greeted her and shook her hand. "Please excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back." Before Isabel could answer, the CEO had already left his office to greet his assistant. Isabel watched the two and her jaw dropped when she saw Oliver laugh with Ms Smoak, wrap his arms around her and kiss her.
"Good morning, Ms Smoak, you're looking unbelievably relaxed and happy this morning," Oliver teased Felicity, before he kissed her again. "Mr. Queen, not that it's any of your business, but you are right, I had an unbelievable night with a gorgeous man," she replied, smiling.
Isabel stepped out of the office and cleared her throat. "Mr. Queen, don't you think it's a little inappropriate to give your hormones free reign here in the office? Isn't it enough that Ms Smoak seems to be your nightly playdate? I thought you were more professional than that."
Oliver kept his arms around Felicity and smiled at Isabel. "Isabel, I don't think it's any of your business when and where I kiss my girlfriend and I'll thank you to show Felicity a little more respect."
Isabel swallowed hard. "Okay. Do you have time for a meeting now?" Oliver nodded and motioned toward the door to his office. Isabel turned around and Oliver followed her, turning around again to wink at Felicity. Shaking her head, Felicity sat down at her desk and started to work.
Oliver and Felicity spent their lunch break together in a cozy little Italian restaurant, both unable to keep their eyes off each other. "Oliver, you're making me nervous, stop looking at me like that", Felicity pleaded, taking a nervous sip from her glass of water.
"Like what?"
"Like you want to ravish me right here, right now."
Oliver smiled. "Don't worry, I'll wait until this evening for that."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm already doing something else tonight. Barry has invited me to the Dr. Who marathon at the cinema complex."
Abruptly Oliver's look changed; he had thought that Barry had taken his latest hint. But the young CSI seemed to be a little dense at times. "Barry has invited you?"
"Oliver Queen, do I detect a note of jealousy in your voice?" She leaned a little closer to him. "I love you and no one else."
"I love you too, that's why I have to be extra careful not to lose you again."
"That will never happen," Felicity replied.
At exactly 7 o' clock Barry Allen stood in front of Felicity's apartment. Felicity couldn't believe her eyes, when she opened the door to find her friend standing before her in a completely new outfit; jeans, t-shirt and a black leather jacket. She had to look twice to believe it. "Wow, Barry, you….. you look so different… but hey, not bad different… good different."
The CSI looked at her and tried to play it cool. "Thanks, Felicity. I thought I could to with a little image change."
Felicity was confused. Barry was great as he was, why would he want to change his image? "Okay… shall we go?"
"Of course, after you."
Barry stepped aside so that Felicity could step out of her apartment and lock the door. When he placed his hand on her back, Felicity froze for a second. Usually only Oliver did that. Barry always just walked beside her, he had never tried to touch her like that before. A friendly hug, yes, but nothing more. The IT girl felt a little uncomfortable. Had Oliver been right and Barry was in love with her? She shook her head, impossible, she would certainly have noticed that.
At the cinema they got soft drinks and popcorn and went in to take their places. "Great seats, Barry, how did you manage that? I thought they were sold out."
Barry leaned closer to Felicity and whispered into her ear. "Oliver Queen is not the only one with connections in Starling City."
Felicity drew back. This was getting strange, this wasn't the Barry she knew and liked. This Barry seemed more like a copy of Oliver and that was what made it so spooky.
"Hmmmmm…." was all she managed to get out, then she grabbed her popcorn and started munching.
The first three parts of Dr. Who went by without any further attempts at flirtation from Barry. Felicity started to relax and enjoy her favorite show.
"Wow, this part was unbelievable, wasn't it, Barry?" she looked at him and stuffed the last bit of popcorn into her mouth. Barry noticed that a little piece of it had stuck to her chin. He leaned closer and wiped it off with his thumb. Felicity didn't move until all of a sudden she felt Barry's lips on hers. Immediately she pushed him away and gave him a shocked look. "Barry! What the heck are you doing?"
Shocked at her reaction, Barry let himself fall back in his seat. "I'm….. I'm sorry, Felicity… this…. I thought you might fall in love with me if I were more like Oliver…." He raked a hand through his hair.
"What? Barry, you always said that you aren't in love with me. We're friends!"
"Yes, I got that now," he answered in a small voice.
"Barry, I'm sorry, but my heart has belonged to Oliver for a long time now."
He nodded. "Felicity, I'm really very sorry."
"Barry, please be yourself again, this Barry Queen image really isn't your thing. You're great just the way you are and hey, even freaks like us can find the perfect partner", she smiled and nudged his side. "Give me back my friend Barry, you alien impostor."
He looked at her and had to laugh as well. The woman was simply unbelievable. They watched the remaining adventures of Dr. Who together and Barry finally behaved like himself again.
