This whole week has been a mess for Felicity. She started work again, and there is a lot to be done, which caused for stressful days. She also is relocating, not uncomfortable living in the loft her and Dick bought for themselves. Then the whole 'my name is Oliver Queen and I'm am the best at avoiding people I want to avoid', which makes it really hard for Felicity to talk to him. It is too frustrating trying to talk to a grown man acting like a 5 year old who rather brood and elude than talk about what he is feeling.
She is wondering how to talk to Oliver; well the talking would be sort of easy, the getting alone with him is the hard part. Every instance Oliver is around Felicity, he would make sure he had Riley as a buffer or he would excuse himself before actually talking. Once they are alone, and it will happen eventually, what is she going to say, she thought. She doesn't even know what she wants; she knows she's in love with Oliver, but is love enough?
It was finally Friday, the hectic day at work is over and now she has to prepare Riley and herself for the dinner at Diggle's house; Lyla offered to host, and with everything going on this past week, Felicity couldn't help but agree. God bless Lyla's soul, she thought.
Felicity and Riley are walking into the loft. Riley hasn't seen her daddy today and is really excited to see him and the rest of the family, well Roy and Laurel, she knows everyone else.
"Riley, sweetie, let's go get you dressed. Remember today we are going to uncle Diggs and aunty Lyla's house for dinner." Felicity tells Riley, looking at the time and seeing she has to rush if she doesn't want to be late.
"A course I amember (remember), mommy! Me and Sara talks about it all day and I get to see daddy!" Riley exclaims, running to her room, excited to spend more time with her best friend and most likely stay up past her bedtime.
"When did you become a daddy's girl?" Felicity asks aloud, but mostly to herself while she is walking to Riley's room, she shakes her head, smiling. Riley and Oliver have bonded so amazingly, it still astonishes Felicity.
The two are ready with no time to spare. Riley is wearing the mint coloured pinky lace-bodice dress, her aunt Thea bought her and Felicity is wearing the black, backless, tight, and short shutter dress which highlights everything in the right way.
They knock on Lyla and Diggs door, waiting for less then 20 seconds for it to be opened by Lyla. Riley quickly hugs Lyla and Digg and makes a beeline for Sara.
It looks like they are the first to arrive. Riley and Sara are off playing and Lyla, Digg, and Felicity chat until the doorbell rings again.
"Hey Oliver, come in." Digg says to Oliver, and they both walk back to Lyla and Felicity.
Oliver's eyes fixate on Felicity, he can't help but stare, that dress is really doing it for her. He looks her up and down, noticing her delicious curves and how the dress is really making her breast pop. Lyla coughs, trying to get Oliver's attention, he looks at Lyla and then makes eye contact with a profusely blushing Felicity, clearing noticing Oliver checking her out. He averts his eyes, and tries to follow the conversation they are having, trying is best to avoid eye contact with Felicity. He wonders where Dick is.
Felicity is quickly frustrated with Oliver's behavior. She goes to the kitchen to refill her drink, knowing alcohol is going to be needed. As she is walking away, she hears a very distinctive groan coming from Oliver. Good, she thinks, knowing he has noticed the lack of back from her dress and her fantastic ass. Well, if he wants to act like a 5 year old, he might as well get use to groaning, and not in the fun way.
"Daddy, you're here! I misses you." Riley comes up and hugs Oliver, happy to finally see him.
Oliver kisses Riley's cheek. "I missed you too princess, and you look extra pretty today."
"Thank you! Aunty Thea buys this dress for me." Riley says giggling.
"Aunty Thea is going to spoil you, isn't she?" Causing for more giggles.
"Sara, come give your uncle Oliver a hug." Oliver says, looking at Sara. She runs over excitedly and gives her favorite uncle a hug.
"Look at you, you are so tall, did you grow some more?" Oliver asks Sara, making her and Riley laugh.
Felicity is watching the 3 interact, and it brings up feeling she hasn't quite experienced yet.
There is more knocking, and the door reveals the remaining people. Laurel, Thea, and Roy all walk in hugging everyone.
"Mommy who are those people." Riley asks Felicity, pointing towards Laurel and Roy.
"Baby, that is your Aunt Laurel and Uncle Roy." Felicity explains.
Riley goes up to Roy and Laurel. "Hi, I'm Riley." Then Roy and Laurel introduce themselves. Being the curious little girl Riley is she asks, "Are you two married?" Roy freezes, eyes bugged out, confused on why Riley would think that and Laurel slightly laughs.
"No, mini blondie, I am your aunt Thea's boyfriend" Roy clears up the misunderstanding, noticing Oliver and Felicity glare at him, probably because he called their kid 'mini blondie'.
"You are aunty Thea's boyfwiend? Whens you two going to haves a baby?" Riley continues with questions and Roy continues to choke on air.
Roy looks up at Oliver and Felicity. Oliver is strictly glaring and Felicity is simply amused and both are waiting for an answer.
"She really is the perfect mix of you two. Somehow she has managed to scare me to death." Roy looks straight and Oliver then at Felicity. "And she won't stop with the questions." Everyone laughs except for Oliver and Felicity, who are both glaring at Roy, hard.
The talking continues with the adults while Riley and Sara are off in their own little world.
Everyone is now seated at the dining table, and passing around food. Felicity and Oliver are seated across from each other; they haven't said a word to each other all night.
"So where is Dick, why couldn't he make it? Digg asks Felicity, causing both her and Oliver to tense at mentioning Dick.
"Oh, umm . . ." Before Felicity can muster out a response Riley speaks up.
"Unca Dick no lives with us anymore." Riley says casually, understanding uncle Dick moved back to Gotham.
"Is everything alright?" Lyla asks.
"Oh, yes, everything's fine. Dick and I broke up and he moved back to Gotham." Felicity says a little nervously, causing for the second time in the night for Oliver to look at Felicity. His head shot up and his eyes connected with Felicity's, his hold on the fork visibly stronger.
"Do I need to punch him?" Digg asks and Roy nods his head in agreement.
"Please don't." Felicity says in a hurry. "The break up was a mutual decision. Punching isn't necessary but thank you." Felicity says understandingly.
Uneasiness formed in the room and Thea decides it's time to break it.
"Ollie, how was that date you went on this past week?" Thea asked, knowing she was playing with fire, but she had enough of Oliver's childish behaviors around Felicity.
Felicity felt a little heart broken realizing Oliver is dating other people.
"It was fine." Oliver gritted out, noticing Felicity reaction and feeling disappointed he caused that.
"Well how was she like? Is she going to be the next Mrs. Queen? You are getting old Ollie." Thea continues knowing it won't end well.
Felicity brusquely gets up, not wanting to hear anymore of Oliver's love life. "If you'll excuse me." She walks to the washroom to cool down.
"Thea drop it." Oliver says, getting annoyed at his little sister antics, and troubled Felicity walked away.
After Felicity joins the table again, the night passes without any more issues. When the dinner is finished, everyone goes his or her own way.
It is Saturday night. Riley is with Thea and Felicity is a single mom who finally has a Saturday night to herself. She does what any mother would do, she pops open her favorite bottle of red wine, has her pint of mint chip, and Netflix ready to go.
She is just about to play the next episode of Orphan Black until a knocking interrupted her well put Saturday night. She gets up from the couch and walks over to the door. The door reveals a panicking Oliver.
"Where is she?" Oliver walks in frantically searching for Riley.
"Where is who?" Felicity puts her hand on Oliver's arm, trying to calm him down?
"Riley. I got a message from you saying she's hurt." Oliver says, trying to control is breathing, heavily confused.
"I didn't message you. Thea is with Riley; she just messaged me, giving me an update.
"Who would have been able to do that?" Oliver wondered and then both instantaneously shout. "Thea!"
"It was probably her elaborate plan to get you to stop avoiding me." Felicity states, folding her arms, finally being alone with Oliver for the first time nearly all week.
"That doesn't justify scaring me to death. I was so worried." Oliver says, aggravated at his sister. Using Riley like that is never okay.
"Since you are here, would you like to stay?" Felicity asks, but can't help herself. "Or do you have some date to return to?"
Oliver momentarily glares then looks up at the living room and observes her setup. "I can stay for a glass of wine."
He walks to the couch while Felicity goes in the kitchen to get a glass for the wine. She strides back to the couch, fills the glass with wine and passes it over to Oliver. They sit on the same couch, side by side, and Oliver notes his surroundings.
"Are you moving?" He asks, a little unnerved, noticing the moving boxes.
"Yea, were moving to a different loft." Felicity says, hoping that is the end of this particular conversation.
"Why? Is there something wrong with this one?" Oliver continues.
"Nothing's wrong in the sense if it's safe or not." Oliver eyebrow quirks, pressing to continue. "Dick and I bought this together, and now it feels weird being here."
"Oh." Oliver says. With that both watch a few episodes of Netflix. Oliver notices Felicity getting a little sleepily so he decides to call it a night.
"I'm going to get going." Oliver stands up, starting to walk to the door. Felicity gets up quickly and follows closely.
As Oliver walks out the door, he turns around. "That date Thea was talking about, it wasn't a real date. She was an investor and wouldn't make the deal unless it was over dinner." And then he walks to his Ducati.
Felicity mouth opens, and then shuts. She closes the door and goes to the bedroom, not understanding what happened.
It is around 2 a.m. and she gets a call, causing her to run to her car in her pajamas and speed thru the night to get to the foundry.
"GIVE US THE ROOM!" Felicity yells, initiating everyone to evacuate the foundry, leaving Oliver and Felicity by themselves.
Felicity walks up to a shirtless bruised Oliver, who has an open wound on his torso and slaps him across the face so hard it echoes through the room. Ignoring the insane burning in her hand she continues her yelling.
"Where you even thinking about Riley, about Thea, about me?" She says, extremely infuriated at his actions.
"I've done this before." He simply states, which causes for another slap across the face.
"Before you weren't a father, you didn't have a little girl waiting for you at home, you didn't have something to live for, your words not mine. BUT NOW YOU DO!" Felicity yells, not understanding why this man would go into a Bratva fight by himself with no back up, barely escaping.
"Why do you even care?" He asks, exhausted from the night and this fight.
"Because you are the father of my child and I'm in love with you, you idiot!"
Finally she says something. Next chapter will continue off this one.
