Chapter 7

Hey, y'all thanks so much for the reviews! Sorry, I've been taking so long to update! I've been so busy, but don't worry I am not about to quit writing this story. Please review! The more reviews I get the quicker I'll update!;)

The rays of the sunlight brightened up Artmis room, but the blonde did not wake. Instead, she laid fast asleep on her boyfriend's shirtless chest. Her light breathing tickled his skin, he gently rubbed circles down her back; enjoying the closeness of her next to him. He placed a small kiss on her olive skinned forehead. When he pulled away from Artemis he noticed her beautiful eyes slowly open.

"Good morning, Beautiful," Wally whispered as he delicately touched the hickey he left on her neck.

"Good morning"-Artemis said as she kissed his lips. She straddled Wally as she continued kissing him. His hands stayed on her waist, but occasionally rubbed small circles on her sides. Her silk nightgown felt amazing under his touch, but when his fingers touched the skin on her legs, he was fascinated by the smoothness.

Artemis began to laugh as his fingertips lightly touched her skin, Wally swallowed the remnants of her laugh. "Ticklish?" he asked.

She nodded, 'yes.' Wally grinned at his girlfriend.

She gave him a stern look, "Wally, don't you dare"- she was cut off by his massive hands tickling her. Wally pounced on her as she screamed and tried to push her boyfriend away.

"Aaah," Artemis laughed. As an attempt to get back at him, she started to tickle him too. Wally laughed as his back landed on the mattress with him once again on his back. In an array of cover and rolling around they fell to the floor, the two both continued to laugh uncontrollably. The two were so caught up in the moment they didn't notice the person standing next to the bedroom door.

"Artemis," came a feminine voice.

"Dinah!" Artemis looked up to his her adoptive mother with her hands crossed over her chest.

Dinah was surprised by the scene she had walked in on. Her youngest daughter laying on top of a man who was shirtless and in sleep pants. Not to mention her night gown straps were falling of her shoulders and she had a hickey on her neck. And not to mention the guy had a hickey on his neck too.

Artemis and Wally quickly rose to their feet.

"Dinah, this is Wally West, my boyfriend," Artemis introduced Wally, who pulled up his girlfriend's night gown straps back on to her shoulders.

"Nice to meet you, Dinah," Wally shook her hand, "We met before at Artemis's homecoming. "

Dinah nodded, 'Yes.'

"Artemis, I think I should go I have to go get ready for training," Wally said. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Excuse me, Dinah," Artemis said as she walked Wally to the door pulling him into a passionate kiss. Dinah couldn't believe her eyes she had never seen her daughter show this much PDA with anyone. The two didn't want to let go of one another.

"I'll text you when I'm on break," he said giving her another kiss, "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too," Artemis said as he pulled her into yet another kiss.

After the two said their goodbyes, she shut the door and released a sigh.

"Artemis Crock!" Dinah yelled.

'Great,' Artemis thought, 'What's she going to say about me and Wally? I bet she's going to tell Ollie.

"Artemis Crock, I'm so happy for you," she said as she sipped her coffee.

The blonde stared at the older blonde raising an eyebrow.

"Huh," Artemis asked.

"That guy is cute. But I wouldn't let Ollie know just yet. After all he's still trying to get used to the idea of you being in your own apartment," Dinah pulled her daughter into a hug. "But I must add if you two are-are"-she motioned with her hands.

Artemis blushed, "Dinah, we haven't. I'm still a virgin."

The young blonde blushed at her own outburst, but it was the truth. She and Wally had only slept together in the same bed nothing more.

Meanwhile at Queen Estates, Ollie pulled on his jacket that was currently lying draped on the sofa. As he reached for it he noticed that the Television was on. It was on the E news channel and on the screen was his daughter.

"Hey, there, I'm Giuliana Rancic and do we have news for you. Mayor Oliver Queen's daughter, Artemis Crock has been seen numerous places with Olympian trainee, Wally West nephew of Barry Allen, who once competed in the Olympics in 1990s.

Oliver's mouth dropped at the image of his daughter with her arms wrapped around a tall man with red hair. There were pictures of them kissing and holding hands.

While at the West household, Wally's mother, Mary West looked up at her kitchen T.V. when she heard her son's name. She looked up saw footage of him training; she couldn't help, but grin about how long it was when Wally was a little boy running on the playground and now there he was running on a race track.

"Randy Smith stood on the track field holding out his microphone for Barry Allen and Wally's coach to answer. "So Mr. Allen, I bet you're proud of you nephew?"

"Yes, sir," Barry said as he looked over his shoulder to see Wally jumping over the hurtles, "Wally's been training for the Olympics for a long time. He's such determination and drive that once saw in myself when I was his age."

Mary beamed with pride admiring how much Wally praised her son.

For her apartment warming party, Artemis stood wearing jeans with a lace top and to hide her hickey she added a small floral scarf. Her long blonde hair was pulled back in a low pony tail that draped over her left shoulder. Jade was the first to arrive with Roy.

"Hey," Jade peeked through the corner greeting Dinah and her sister who was standing in the kitchen, "So, where is he?" Jade roamed around Artemis's apartment not waiting for her sister's response.

"Who?" Artemis questioned as she chopped some carrots.

Roy took off his jacket and hung it in the closet. 'I think I'll go visit Wally,' he thought. Roy stood outside Wally's apartment knocking for the longest.

"He's not here," a female voice said causing Roy to turn all the way around, "He left this morning for training."

"How would you know?" Roy shot back at her.

Artemis said nothing but gave him that made him groan in disgust, "Oh! Oh, tell me y'all aren't sleeping together"-

"Shut up, Roy," the blonde crossed her arms.

"So you're telling me you caught them, practically getting it on," Jade smirked.

Dinah however was not amused, "Not exactly, Jade. And stop fussing over them"-

"Oh, please, nobody gave me a break when I was with Roy," Jade teased.

Dinah had to admit that was a low blow, but a rather good argument. When Jade had first met Roy she could not stop talking about him. Every little thing had to be about Roy. Then when Roy asked her out the two couldn't keep their hands off each other. Which worried Dinah and nearly gave Ollie a heart attack; it was then Dinah and Ollie came up with an agreement after Dinah and Jade caught making out with Roy on the living room couch. Jade had to sign the document that made her promise she would not have intercourse with Roy until they were married. That is until Jade pointed out that Dinah and Ollie weren't married and they were having all the sex they want. Thus leading to another agreement to be made making Jade promise to not have intercourse until the legal age of 18, Artemis had to sign it too, only to be fair.

"Yes, but Artemis is practically a grown woman"-

"And I was a teenager with raging hormones," the dark haired girl said in a teasing tone.

During the party, Megan and Conner were the last ones to arrive. "Finally," Zatanna teased when she saw them walking through the door.

"Yeah, what took you guys so long?" Rocket asked.

Conner looked over at Dick, who was aware of the reason why they were late.

"This is why," Megan raised up her left hand flashing her engagement diamond. An awe started to spread around the apartment and 'congratulations.' Artemis embraced her reddish-haired friend and shook hands with her ex crush.

"So, how did he propose," Jade asked eagerly.

Megan smiled, "He and I were listening to old that we had and every song we heard we put a special event with it. Then Bruno Mar's song 'Marry you' came on and the next thing I knew he was down on one knee."

Artemis looked at her phone that was currently vibrating, it was Wally. "Hello," Artemis answered as she went to her apartment balcony.

Phone conversation:

"Hey, babe, how's your party going?" Wally asked.

"Oh,it's going great Megan and Conner just announced their engagement," Artemis giggled as she heard Wally murmur, "Are you sure you're not jealous, babe?"

Artemis had told Wally about her past crush on Conner, thus leading him to reveal how he chased after Megan.

"Me?!" Artemis challenged, "I should be asking you that?"

Wally laughed, but then back serious, "I really want to see you."

"Me too," Artemis said. "What would you do if you were here right now?"

"Where are you?" he asked.

"On the balcony," Artemis answered.

"I would surprise you by wrapping my arms around your waist and sway with you for a bit," Wally said.

"Wow," Artemis said.

"What?" he asked.

"You're cheesy," she teased.

"And don't forget sexy"-he added.

"And egotistic," she teased. "If you were here I would kiss you on your neck on that spot that makes you make that funny noise."

"I would rub circles along your body and kiss your forehead, your nose, your cheek, and then your lips," he said seductively.

After Artemis and Wally finished talking Ollie decided to join Artemis on the balcony.

"Hey, Artemis," he said.

"Hey, Ollie," Artemis said, "So what do you think of my place?"

"It's very nice," Ollie said, but then looked at his daughter, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

'Shit!' Artemis thought, 'Could he know about Wally and me?'

"On E they said you're seeing someone. Wally West," he said in a fatherly tone.

"Damn, the paparazzi," Artemis said, "Ollie, he's a nice man. I really, really like him."

"Artemis, I just want you to watch out for yourself. There are something that people will do in order to get famous even if it means tarnishing someone else's reputation," Ollie said.

Before Artemis could respond, Garfield came popped out like a bat off hell, "Hey, guys, check out my video!"

Everyone squeezed onto the couch and floor to have a perfect view of the T.V. Zatanna sat next to Dick, who had his arm draped over her shoulders, whereas Megan sat in Conner's lap. Artemis sat on a pillow next to Jade and Roy. While Dinah and Oliver were nestled on the couch with Garfield sitting next to them.

"Okay, guys the camera kept stopping, but don't worry I made a couple of tweaks," Logan said as the video began to start.

Video:

Directed by Garfield Logan

Produced by Garfield Logan

Starring Garfield Logan and others….

"This my first video I hope you all enjoy!"

"So Connor, what is it that you like about my sister?"

"We can pretty much talk about anything," Connor said, " Like when it was our first time"-"I was embarrassed but Megan and I eventually got the hang of it."

Everyone started to burst out laughing at Connor's confession.

"Connor!" Megan swatted his shoulder, "You're terrible!"

"I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about us ice skating."

"So Megan, how would you describe, Zatanna?"Garfield asked.

"Zatanna, is a kind lovely woman inside and out"- "She loves to make people happy"- "When we were together people would call me the gal with the ho."

Everyone once again laughed.

"Megan," Zatanna yelled.

"I didn't say that," she defended.

"Welcome to the club," Connor said.

"Are there any memories you and Jade have in this room?" Logan asked.

"Jacob," they both said at the same time.

"Jacob ,looked like Taylor Lautner,"Jade said. "The second Dinah and Oliver were asleep we'd sneak Jacob into our room"- "But we'd be careful not to make too much noise."

"Even as teenagers we knew what was popular,"Artemis said.

"Jade, what the hell?!" Roy demanded.

"Roy, it's not like that," Jade said.

"He used to sleep with me a lot, because I was older and knew how he liked to be held"-

Ollie was horrified.

"Artemis was young and rough," Jade said.

Everyone laughed hysterically.

"Ollie, we are not like that," Jade said.

"Yeah, at least not me," Artemis said.

"Hey," Jade said.

"We were talking about a dog," Artemis said. "I'm not that kind of girl."

"My date with Wally was amazing," Artemis sighed. "There was such a rush"- "His hips moved with mine and he was like"- "Artemis, Artemis,"

"I can explain that," Artemis said.

Ollie looked at his daughters and then Dinah was on the T.V.

"Ollie as a mayor"- "I see kids running wild, husbands beating their wives, and cities without control and what comes to mind"- "Ollie."

When the video ended Garfield asked, "So what did you guys think?" In return he received pillows thrown at him.

Wally arrived later that night. He knocked on Artemis's door, and he expected to be greeted by a hello, instead he was greeted by a passionate kiss. Her fingers tangled themselves in his hair as he wrapped his arms around her waist. The blonde's long legs wrapped around his waist allowing him to carry her to the couch, where the two started to make out, that is until. Artemis mumbled, "Bed."
