Hi! Back with the next update. I feel really bad I haven't updated it at all. I've been sick and needed to take some time off. This chapter is pretty long. I had to change most of the chapter I had written for 'Jealousy' but some of it will be similar who have read it before. Many people had asked for Oliver to get jealous so I added all that a bit more with some nice Bruce and Felicity moments in the end.

I want to address a few things I read from my reviews. First, this is going to be a Bruce/Felicity story for most of it, so I will NOT kill off Bruce, second: This version of Bruce Wayne is my imagination. I've given him traits of my own with some exceptions of things. Third and most importantly to a review I got that really hurt me was about Felicity running after Oliver. No, in my story I will not make Felicity dependant on Oliver. She is an independent woman who can stand on her own, be unique and speak for herself which makes her a better person on the show too and she deserves all the happiness in the world. These are things I wanted to clear up to some guest reviews I get. Thanks guys and enjoy. Sorry if it's not a great chapter. I had to cramp everything up in two days.

It was one of the best days in Felicity's life. She'd actually enjoyed a party, drank less amounts of wine according to her so she wouldn't get drunk and met Bruce Wayne.

What started as a decision to not have anything to do with him more than one night had totally changed. She wanted to get to know him better. He was still unattainable to Felicity but Bruce was determined to change that.

Maybe there was a chance to be happy and meet someone who she could be with.

There were so many feelings to process she was not feeling very steady.

"I'm leaving Oliver. It's been a long night and I need to get some sleep." Felicity told Oliver while wearing her wrap.

"Ok. Be safe. You go with Diggle." Oliver was tight lipped. His face was stoic.

Felicity wanted to ask him what was wrong. Something told her it was about Bruce, but she didn't want to believe it.

"I'll text you when I get home." It was the least she could do to make Oliver look less like a rock.

Digg and Felicity made their way out to the car. She was distracted and Diggle saw it. He was happy for Felicity. He didn't know Bruce well, one thing Digg knew about Felicity was that, she knew what she was doing. There were moments of weakness for her but she didn't underestimate anyone for that matter.

In the car Diggle looked up at her from the front mirror at her. She looked confused but happy. "Someone looks happy?" Diggle asked. "Oh Digg, stop it. It was a…a good night! I had my share of fun." Felicity replied back with some denial.

"A little too much huh?" Diggle was prying. "Keep your eyes on the road will you?" Felicity couldn't control her laughter.

"Ok, ok I will." Diggle had a small smile to his lips. It was rare to see him smile.

"God, I have a date with Bruce tomorrow." She couldn't keep it and blurted it out. It was nagging her and let it out to Diggle.

Diggle's eyes literally popped out. Felicity caught his expression and closed her eyes real hard.

"Well, well good for you Felicity. Not shabby at all."

"I'm really freaking out for nothing. I need to tell Oliver. He didn't seem too happy about us talking today. You should have seen his face. It was like the flesh was going to come off." Felicity had observed Oliver from a far. He wasn't happy at all.

Diggle smirked. "You know Oliver doesn't like some stuff. He sees Bruce as a potential enemy for his company and for… him as a person. Why do you have to tell him in the first place?"

"If he did see Bruce as a enemy why invite him over in the first place? We could have fared well without him right? As a person? What are you hinting at? What can Bruce do, kill him?" Felicity was right. Every big business man is considered an enemy in such cases. If it bothered Oliver that much he shouldn't have called Bruce over and told Moira. I want to tell him because Bruce was called by the Queen family and he should be given a heads up before finding out in some tabloid column."

Diggle sighed. He just had to process the thoughts that Felicity still hadn't realized that Oliver maybe had feelings for her and felt inferior and jealous watching Bruce and Felicity hit it right off.

"You need to stop panicking, and breathe. You'll have a great time tomorrow." Diggle assured her to stop fidgeting and calm down.

By the time they were having this conversation Diggle had reached Felicity's apartment.

Felicity got her stuff and opened the door to get out. "Hey!" Digg called out to her. Felicity turned to Diggle. "You'll be fine, don't worry. Get a good night's sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."

Felicity couldn't help but look lovingly at Diggle. Sometimes she didn't know what she would do without him. "Thanks Digg. You're awesome!"

She shut the door and walked up to her apartment and took out the key from her purse. Unlocked it and went inside, switched the lights on, placed the keys on the table to the left and sat down on a couch.

Felicity was tensed about the date and mostly Oliver. She had no clue how to tell him. Last time she went off to see Barry he was really rude and the fight became ugly. Whatever happened she had to just calm down and deal with it tomorrow at the office or the foundry.

Next day

Felicity was shaking her left leg vigorously almost the whole day. Oliver and Diggle had noticed it too. She was still tensed about her date. Oliver still didn't know about her date either.

Even if Diggle had noticed her tensed up he knew the reason and wasn't at all surprised that Felicity had landed a date with Bruce Wayne. When someone like Oliver who also was a billionaire liked Felicity, why wouldn't Bruce Wayne like her?

Diggle knew Bruce was a major playboy. He'd heard stories that he slept with a lot of women. In his opinion Oliver probably slept with more women.

None of that mattered now. Felicity had a date with Bruce and Oliver didn't know about it. She didn't have to tell him but Oliver blew up last time and it's always better to prevent the collateral damage.

"Did you tell Oliver about your date tonight or not? You told me you were going to tell him" Diggle asked Felicity secretly while Oliver was doing some pushups on his workout mat.

Felicity stared at Diggle. "No" she hissed through her teeth. She was shit scared to tell Oliver. Why not?"

"I don't know how to tell him. He's not talking properly with me from yesterday."

"You don't know how to tell him? Just blurt it out. You had the whole day at office. You could have done something about it" Diggle asked slowly. He stressed the last part.

"Because I don't want too. I'm so tensed up. I don't know what to wear and I need to get my hair done. But I can't go. I have some more tests to run." Felicity said without a breath.

"Then leave."

"How can I just leave?" Felicity asked Diggle.

"I don't know, just tell him you have a date." Diggle said immediately. He didn't know what else to say. He hated these stupid girl problems.

"A date?" Oliver suddenly spoke up loud.

Felicity and Diggle turned to Oliver quickly. Felicity's eyes were scrunched up in panic mode.

"Date? What date? No one talked about a date." Felicity rambled.

"I heard you talking about a date." Oliver still kept insisting.

"A date Oliver. She was talking about a date she forgot. Like a calendar date." Diggle said. He was trying to cover up for Felicity.

"Really Diggle? " Oliver asked. He started feeling like they were hiding something from him. He knew Felicity was freaked out about something and he felt it was about Bruce Wayne. He had seen the way they were dancing yesterday. The closeness, the way he touched her. It was pissing off.

"Whatever is going on, why are you both tensed?" Oliver asked quickly. He was no fool.

Felicity closed her eyes. Sooner or later she had to tell him.

"I have a date Oliver. I lied to you." Felicity told Oliver.

She knew she regretted it the moment she said those words. Oliver was around the whole time, he just knew this was about Bruce.

"I just knew it Felicity." Oliver was stone cold.

"Knew what? I had a date?" Felicity felt a little relieved. This was not as bad as possible.

"Not a date but lying about something." Oliver's jaws were just clenched, waiting for Felicity to say the date was with Bruce Wayne.

"Lying? Fair enough."

"Who is it?" Oliver slowly asked. He knew who it was but had to get it out from her. His voice was pretty low.

This was the hard part.

"Bruce Wayne" Felicity said, one word at a time.

"He asked me out at the fundraiser yesterday night. I couldn't say no. It's just one date. It's not like I'm going to live with him in Gotham or something..." Felicity was babbling without her own knowledge.

"Felicity, STOP!" Oliver yelled. He couldn't believe she had the nerve to actually say yes to Bruce Wayne. Felicity could do what she wanted but this was unacceptable to Oliver.

Then silence. Diggle stood there amused.

Felicity turned to Oliver. Her ponytail following her head turn. "Why are you yelling?"

"I am not yelling. Do you realize the extent of this date and if people find out about this?"

He was being selfish. Ever since she had left to Central city and they had a rift, he was still angry every time she had a date.

"What's going to happen? FYI people already know that I'm your EA and they think I slept with you to get the post. This really doesn't make a difference." Felicity was just stating all the facts she could.

"I need a life outside of you and the foundry and office. I rarely go out and meet people. If I go out people think I'm a freak. I'm just tired of always being stuck here Oliver. I deserve to be free and have fun. Everything I do isn't tied to you."

She just wanted a life outside of Oliver. It was a legit request.

"What? You're talking to me like I'm the one keeping you here. I never said don't go out with anyone or don't have a life Felicity."

Felicity had, had it. This was the limit. "You just never understand do you Oliver? Everything isn't always about you." She just shook her head sadly at him, feeling how immature he was sometimes.

Oliver tilted his head to one side. Both of them were eyeing each other.

"Felicity, if this is what you want, I'm fine with it. It's not like you're ever going to listen." Oliver just broke the silence. He still hadn't realized anything.

"Oliver, I thought you were better than this." Felicity didn't know what else to say and left.

Oliver was defeated. He didn't have the guts to tell Felicity his feelings and blew the whole situation out of proportion. All he could think of was that Bruce had come in for one night and swooped her off.

He saw her leave out of the foundry and still looked after.

"Oliver? What are you thinking?" Diggle interrupted Oliver in his vigorous thought process.

Oliver was distracted from his train of thoughts.

"What?"

"What are you thinking about? Jealous that Bruce got to Felicity first?" Diggle asked. He knew Oliver was frustrated about this whole Bruce thing. Oliver never took a step back from issues which didn't concern him at all.

"No. I'm not jealous. That's BS. She can be with whoever she wants. Not my problem." Oliver said firmly.

"Looked like you did. With all that jaw clenching." Diggle said. He was unperturbed that this even bothered Oliver.

"DIGGLE! Stop it. I'm always the one at fault when it comes to Felicity right?"

"No one is at fault Oliver, you need to give this a rest and let her enjoy herself. She works too hard for you and puts her life at risk for you. Just let it go." Diggle was the positive guide for Oliver.

Oliver looked at Diggle. He was right. He always was. It was one date. He had to let it go.

"If you really liked her you should have asked her out before." Diggle told Oliver and left.

Outside in the parking lot Diggle met Felicity.

"You're still not gone?" Diggle asked Felicity. She was standing near her car.

"Is he ok?" Felicity inquired.

"He'll live. Have a nice time and if Bruce says something or hurts you, tell me." Diggle was always over protective of Felicity.

"I can handle myself Digg. If I need backup I'll call you." She winked her eye at Diggle.

Diggle shrugged his shoulders and went to his car and drove off. Felicity saw her watch, it was getting time for her date. She suddenly had a thought and took out a card from her purse and dialed it after sitting in her car with the doors closed.

"Hello" said a deep voice from the other side.

"Hey Bruce this is Felicity. Am I bothering you?" Felicity asked. She was scared if she was disturbing him.

"Felicity! How are you? You were not disturbing me at all. I was just finishing on some press. Apparently I'm a valued asset in Starling City." He was really happy she had called.

Felicity laughed into the phone. "Yes you are a valued asset. I'm doing great. I just called to ask about tonight?"

"Tonight? Be ready at 7:45. I'll send down a limo." Bruce just said it so effortlessly.

She couldn't believe it. "A LIMO? You're not kidding right?"

"No way. I'm not kidding. Felicity Smoak requires the best treatment." Bruce joked.

"Do you say this to all the women you date?"

"Whoa, that's a tough one. I usually don't tell my dates how I woo them." He laughed deeply. Bruce was walking towards his car to go back to his hotel room.

"Really? Can't you make an exception for me?"

"I'll try. Be ready. The limo will be at your place waiting." Bruce had given the address to the driver.

"Wait, one more thing. How do you know my house?" Felicity asked. She didn't remember giving any address to him.

"I use something called the internet, if you're familiar with it."

"Nice answer. Guess you are a stalker of the internet."

"It's a hobby." She made him laugh. This was banter he liked. He knew tonight was going to be great.

"Hobby? I like hacking too. Let's not get that out into the public shall we?" Felicity liked teasing him.

"I'm not planning to tell anyone anytime soon. Your secret is safe with me." Felicity couldn't help but admire his skills. "Ok, I got to go. I'll meet you at 8. And thanks Bruce." Felicity cut the call and placed the key to start the engine.

Oliver suddenly tapped the car window. She jumped in her seat and rolled down the window.

"Don't you have a date?" Oliver asked. His jaws were clenched again.

"Starting problem in my engine."

She was lying through her teeth. She started the engine again and it instantly came back to life.

"See? It's working again!"

She reversed her car and pulled out of the parking lot leaving Oliver standing there looking into the night.

While going through the road she was smiling.

Tonight for once, it was going to be great. She knew it.
