Chapter Seven - It's Just Coffee

''do you still have your coffee black?''- ''I'm impressed- well remembered''- how the hell did I get from drinking cocktails in a club to been in my apartment offering Oliver Queen a coffee- I hope he didn't think I was propositioning him- this is just coffee right?

''one black coffee''- I slumped beside Oliver who had his head buried in one of my photo albums from my bookshelf- ''thanks''- ''I see you've found my photo album'' damn there were some embarrassing photos in there- one in particular of me slightly drunk body shooting a Sambuca off an extremely good looking bar tenders torso in Cuba-

''that's practically the story of my life over the last five years- Selina's taken me around the world to some of the best party destinations''- ''you look happy- in fact I can't ever remember seeing you as happy'' I was when I was with you- you idiot.

'' I was happy- mainly down to the fact by this point I'd drank my own body weight in cocktails''- ''you've changed Felicity'' Oliver said glancing up at me sneaking eye contact- he was smiling- ''so have you''-

''So you and Bruce Wayne or should I say Batman- what's happening there?'' how was I meant to answer Oliver when I didn't even know the answer to that myself- '' I don't know, I like him- he's nice''- ''do you think things could get serious?'' Oliver's glance had now turned into a stare an intense one-

''I don't know where things will go- I've learnt to live each day as it comes and what will be will be''- I wasn't sure if I was trying to convince myself of that or Oliver- '' well said- Felicity there's something I need to tell you''- holy shit I don't like the sound of this.

''I'll be going home tomorrow, the league needs me'' I need you ''ok.. that's erm.. fine I know you belong to the league''- ''I'm guessing the next time I'll see you is Thea's wedding?''- ''I look forward to it''- I'd only had Oliver Queen back in my life for a few days but thinking about not seeing him for the next few weeks was killing me already-

''Thanks for the coffee Felicity- it's been great seeing you and spending time with you again''- my heart feels like it wants to jump right out of my chest and latch onto Oliver and never let go again.

'' fine – I mean its fine and it's been great- not my coffee obviously but spending time with you even if the circumstances have been majorly weird'' understatement of the century.

Oliver stood up from my sofa and shrugged back into his jacket- please don't leave I miss you already. ''Good bye Felicity I look forward to seeing you at the wedding, take care of yourself'' tears stay in my eyes please don't you dare-

Oliver's arms wrapped around my body constricting me tightly- I never wanted him to let go- I wanted to stay like this forever.

I closed the door reluctantly behind Oliver and slid down it- curling into a ball at the bottom and sobbing hysterically, tonight had brought back all the pain I'd been harvesting over the past five years and I'd come to realize something- I'd never stopped loving Oliver Queen.

I pulled myself up like I'd had to a thousand times in the past after I'd had an Oliver fueled emotional outburst and got snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket ice cream and my favorite movie- ten things I hate about you- heath ledger is the only thing that can make me feel better about my sham of a life right now.
