Since she returned last night, Thea had been thinking about a way to tell her mother about Felicity. But each time she started something would interrupt them. As the time of Laurel and Tommy's wedding was closing in, she felt even more scared to tell her.
Right now they were on their way to the Lance's house and Thea had not stopped shaking her leg as her mother looked at her.
"Are you alright, darling?" she asked in her smooth tone as Thea took in a deep breath. It was no or never.
"There is something I have to tell you Mom." she said as she looked at her mother in the eyes, which were exact replicas of Oliver's. "Now Mom I want you to be calm can you do that?" Thea asked and Moira felt confused at the request but nodded her head. "It's about Oliver." she told her.
"Is something wrong with your brother?" Moira asked her concern obvious in her voice.
"No. He… um…Oliver is… he is engaged." Thea said exhaling and hoping her mother would not panic. But Moira just blinked at her daughter a few times confused.
"But… that can't be possible… the family ring is… it's still in the vault. I checked before we left." She said as Thea give her a half smile.
"He bought a ring Mom." She told her as her mother was now taking in deep breaths.
"Ok then. Who is she?" Moira asked taking in a deep breath and calming down.
"Her name is Felicity." Thea started saying "Mom, she is amazing. You are going to love her." Thea said with excitement as Moira smiled.
"Well this girl must be special if your brother didn't tell me or anyone anything about her." She said with a sigh. "And I can't wait to meet her."
As she said that Thea smiled hugging her. "Thanks mum." Moira was confused at what her daughter was thanking her for. "For not freaking out about all of this and for staying calm." Moira just returned the hug her daughter give her and smiled.
The hotel that they were staying in was packed with people and most of them flew for the wedding of Laurel and Tommy just like Diggle and Lyla.
Digg was standing in front of the mirror, checking if he had done everything right, as Lyla just smiled observing him.
"You know just because you are silent doesn't mean that I can't feel you grinning there." He told her as he turned to see her dressed in a beautiful light violet cocktail dress and his words were lost.
"You were saying Johnny." She said to his expression as he opened and closed his mouth a few times.
"You …are… beautiful." He said as he walked over to her and give he a kiss.
"Well thank you. You cleaned up nicely yourself." She told him as Digg just smiled.
"You know what?" he asked her as she looked up. "I really wish we didn't have to go." Lyla rose her eyebrow at that.
"And why is that?" she questioned.
"I don't want to share your beauty with anybody else." Lyla laughed at that. "But it is Tommy. He will probably never get married again so I can't miss this wedding." He told her as she nodded her head.
"No you can't Johnny." She told him with a smile as she made her way to the door and he followed.
Once they had reached the end of the hallway and stepped into the elevator, Diggle looked at his wife and asked. "Do you know Felicity?" she glance at him.
"Yes. Laurel and Sara's stepsister she works at Palmer Tech, right?" Lyla asked hoping they were not talking about another Felicity.
"Yeah well as it turns out she has been dating Oliver." Digg said as Lyla looked at him in shock. "And he proposed to her. They are getting married." He said as Lyla still tried to blink away the shock.
"I didn't even know they knew each other." She said still surprised as she watched the numbers on the elevator descending.
"You can imagine how shocked Tommy was." Digg said with a laugh as his wife glanced at him.
"He didn't know?" she asked as Digg shook his head. "Well then Oliver is full of surprises." Digg just nodded his head at that.
"I'm just curious what his mother is going to say to all of that." And as he said that, the elevator door opened to the lobby and they both walked out.
Last night, Oliver and Felicity had only slept in their bed; although they did make out like horny teenagers. It felt nice. She was finally letting him in and Oliver liked that.
She was still asleep when he woke up, her arms wrapped around him tight and he smiled as he looked down seeing her puffing off air at a lock of her golden hair. He had never seen a more beautiful sight in his life. He moved the lock from her face as she snuggled closer into his body and that was when her sweet scent hit her.
Oliver didn't want to leave this bed but it was Tommy and Laurel's wedding day so they both had to get up soon. He had to go help Tommy and her Laurel. Feeling her shift, he knew she was waking up.
When her blue eyes opened, she blinked a few times and looked up to see him smiling at her. Felicity returned the smile as she took in a deep breath.
"Good morning." She told him as he smiled.
"Good morning Love." He said noticing that she was not pulling away from him like the previous night.
"I don't want to get up. I wanna stay here with you in bed." She told him as he laughed.
"I know how you feel, Love, but I have bestman duties to attend to and you have to help keep Laurel calm. She is probably freaking out as we speak." Oliver told her as she smiled nodding her head. "But before we part…" he started as she looked up to him. "Don't you think I deserve a kiss?" As he asked the question, Felicity reached out to him and kissed him.
The kiss, like all the ones before it, was pure magic and had so much passion that Oliver didn't want to let go.
"Are you going to live with that until the reception?" she asked him as he just nodded. "You need to get up." Felicity told him as she let him go, getting out of bed and on her feet. Oliver still had this ridiculous grin on his face.
Donna was up from the early hours of the day to get the breakfast ready despite her husband's absence, who was still sleeping like a rock.
Just as she was getting a start on the breakfast, the doorbell rang and Donna sighed leaving the plates on the kitchen counter and rushing to answer the door.
"Hi Donna." The cheerful voice of Dinah got the blonde a little surprised and she smiled.
"Dinah, I was not expecting to see you this early." Donna said with a smile.
"Well I guessed that you would need help this morning and I'm positive that Quentin is not up yet and won't be anytime soon. So We're offering our help." Dinah told her as Donna laughed lightly.
"We?" she asked as Dinah turned to reveal a man standing beside her.
"This is… Jonathan. I hope you don't mind that I brought him along." Dinah said hopeful while Donna shook her head.
"No not at all come in." she told them as they walked in taking off their coats.
"How can we be of help?" Dinah asked as they followed Donna in to the kitchen.
Laurel was already pacing in her bedroom. What if something went wrong? The thoughts were running through her head when there was a knock on her door.
"Come in." she said still pacing as Sara walked into her room.
"Well this is better than what I expected to find. Dad owes me ten bucks." She said a Laurel stopped and looked at her sister.
"Did you and dad bet on how bad I would be before my wedding?" she asked as Sara just shrugged.
"Are you ready for breakfast?" Sara asked as Laurel nodded. "Mom is here… with a friend?" It was more of a question then a statement.
"She brought Jonathan?" Laurel asked as Sara raised her eyebrow at her.
"How do you know his name?" she asked as Laurel laughed a little.
"Well I meet him when mom stayed with me for a week a few months ago. You would know it too if you let her come visit you and not avoid her by saying you are busy with work." Laurel said walking to the door.
"Are you lecturing me right now?" Sara asked as she followed her big sister.
They had made their way into the dining room where Donna and Dinah were coming and going into the kitchen; while Oliver and Felicity are eating and their father is sipping on coffee conversing with Jonathan.
"Oh the bride has awoken." Oliver teases as Laurel uses her pointed look which says, 'Don't even start.'
"Shouldn't you be with Tommy right now?" Sara asked as he looks at the time and gets up; giving Felicity a quick kiss on the lips.
"I have to go Love. I'll see you all later." He said rushing out of the house.
"You seem to be feeling better." Felicity said as Sara took the seat that was a few moments ago occupied by Oliver.
"Oh but that's because she had a nice walk last night with Palmer." Felicity almost chokes on her mother's words and coughs, looking at Sara surprised as the blonde shrugs; taking the French toast and taking a bite.
"I mean nothing big happened." Sara started. "But it was nice. Still he has a fiancé. It's not like I forgot." She said with a sigh, picking up the coffee and pouring it in two clean cups; one for her and one for Laurel who is sitting next to her.
"So Jonathan, how is the class project going?" Laurel asked with a smile while sipping on her coffee.
"Oh it's going good. I think my class will have a chance at winning this one." He told her and she smiled.
"I remember my first time in the courtroom." At that both Sara and Felicity sighed.
"Please don't tell that story again." Sara said with pleading eyes.
"I'm begging you. It's your wedding day." Felicity said with a hopeful smile on her face.
Once Oliver had arrived at the hotel in which Tommy was staying, he rushed to the elevator and to the sixth floor. Finding room 621, he knocked hard a few times and Tommy answered in seconds.
"Oh you are here that's good." He said letting his best friend in. "I seem to be unable to tie my…" he started as Oliver tried not to laugh. "Laurel usually ties it for me." At that Oliver had to laugh as Tommy gives him a pointed look.
"So are you ready for this?" Oliver asked as he tied the tie for him.
"Yeah I ready." He said as he looked at Oliver's work in the mirror. "How do you think she is doing?" he asked as Oliver smiled.
"Probably panicking a little but don't worry, she will be fine." Oliver said as Tommy nodded his head.
"You know she was a little sad yesterday when Johanna couldn't make it to the bachelorette party." Tommy said with a smile thinking of the maid of honor who was stuck in court all day yesterday.
As Oliver checked his watch, it was already eleven AM and he pushed Tommy to the door.
"We have to get going if you plan to be in that church on time." He said as they both rushed out the door.
They had arrived about forty minutes before the ceremony and were both welcomed by Father Sebastian.
"Tommy." Father Sebastian said shaking his hand as he looked at Oliver. "I'm guessing you are the best man." He said as Oliver nodded shaking the father's hand.
"Oliver." He said as the man nodded .
"Well we should get inside. The guests will start arriving soon." Father Sebastian said as he turned around and entered the church, Oliver and Tommy followed closely behind.
At the Lance's house, they were all getting ready to leave as Laurel was stepping into her wedding dress. Her makeup was light but it made her beautiful green eyes shine even more. Her lips were painted the lightest color of pink while her hair was curled and put in a half up classic style.
Both Felicity and Sara gasped as they saw the whole thing come together. The simple 1920's wedding gown fit Laurel perfectly.
"You look beautiful Sis." Sara said as Laurel smiled.
"Don't say that you will make me cry." Laurel said as she exhaled. "Lis, what do you think?" she asked as Felicity smiled.
"I think you look gorgeous." She told her as Laurel took in a deep breath.
"Then I think we are ready to go." She said as they made their way out of the room and down the stairs to the living room.
