"Are you been serious with me right now" Sara is lying on her stomach in the middle of my bed flipping through some fashion magazine.
While she's absorbed in her magazine, I try my best to casually drop into conversation my date with Cooper.
I'm hoping she's not paying too much attention to what I'm saying. But as soon as I mention the C word, she bolts up into a sitting position before glaring at me.
So I end up coming clean about him waiting outside of work for me and us sitting down over a coffee to work things out. He at least deserved me to hear him out, right?
Sara stands from the bed and grabs hold of my shoulders
"I guess you leave me no choice but to pull up the pictures I sent you, the ones of Cooper and his various blondes".
"Let's not go there" I mumble turning towards her,
"I appreciate you trying to look after me Sar, but it's just dinner. We're not getting back together; we're just going to talk"
She scowls at me, with her eyebrows knitted together
"I don't like Cooper, he's an arrogant douche bag and as for hooking up with all those girls while you were in London, how can you just forget about that Lissy?"
I can't disagree with what she's saying but I need closure on this whole situation.
"I'll probably not see him again after this, so chill out"
She doesn't say anything instead she rolls her eyes at me.
"Do you like this shirt with this skirt? I say admiring my reflection in the mirror. It's warm out so I'm wearing a white skirt with a powder blue shirt and a pair of kitten heals.
Her eyes slowly travel down me and then back up again
"Yeah, but I would pull your hair into a pony tail and wear my hoop earrings"
She disappears into her bedroom and returns to me with the earrings she's talking about. I gather my hair into a pony tail and pop in Sara's earrings
I grin at her and wait for a reaction
"Gorgeous Liss" she grunts
"Not that Cooper deserves any of this effort"
"Yeah Sar, you've made your opinion on the Cooper situation perfectly clear. Say no more"
She shrugs and her bottom lip makes an appearance
"I just don't want to see you get hurt again. Even though you were all the way in London and I wasn't there to help you through it, I know how bad Cooper messed you up".
I pull Sara into a hug
"I know and I appreciate you looking out for me, I really do. You're the best friend I could ever wish for Sara but it's just dinner you don't need to worry".
"Ok" she whispers with a skeptical look on her face
Not a moment later my phone pings with a text. It's Cooper telling me he's waiting downstairs for me in his car.
"What? Mr. Romantic can't be bothered to walk his scrawny ass up here and pick you up?" Sara giggles
I shoot Sara a look before gathering my bag and cardigan and heading for the door
"See you later Sar"

I stop for a moment outside of my door and smooth out the creases from the skirt. Just as I'm about to start walking down the hall, the apartment door three doors down opens up and out walks Oliver. For a moment neither of us say anything as our eyes meet.
Not knowing what to do, I hold up my hand in silent greeting as he starts moving towards me. He stop s two feet from me, his eyes take a tour down my body before coming back up to meet mine. I feel my cheeks blushing. Why the hell does he have this effect on me? I don't even like this guy.
Well in fairness I don't really know him all that well but from what I do know of him, I don't particularly care for him, yet for some reason every time I see him my stomach fills with butterflies.
"You look nice Felicity",
"Thanks" I mumble under my breath.
"I've really got to get going" and with that I try making a quick getaway but he's right there besides me, keeping up with my large strides.
"Hot date tonight?" he quizzes.
"Ummm," Well.. "I'm just getting together with a friend" I mutter
He nods his head and we continue to walk in silence.
"What are you up to?" I mumble
"Going to work out at the gym and then I'll probably head out to a party with Barry Allen"
I glance over to him. He's wearing a pair of grey joggers and a black vest top that does incredible things for his chest and arms.
We arrive at the elevator, I quickly push the down arrow button and we wait in silence for it to arrive.
Thankfully it doesn't take long for the elevator to ding signaling that its arrived. As soon as the doors slide open, I rush inside before punching the lobby button about seven times. When I glance over to Oliver, he has a stupid grin on his face.
I seriously hate when he does that, he looks completely smug and arrogant. As the doors close, locking us inside together I stare down at my shoes.
He chuckles to himself. What a pigheaded ass hole.
"Something funny?" I growl
His big blue eyes slide to mine
"Nope not at all" he says sarcastically
"Just spill it Queen". This guy seriously pisses me off. How is it possible to hate someone so much, but be so damn attracted to them at the same time.
With our eyes locked, he reaches out before hitting the alarm button, I gasp as the elevator jolts to a halt.
What the hell?
