Chapter 12
Felicity couldn't believe how fast her weekend with Oliver had gone. Saturday had been spent shopping exploring the playroom. Sunday, Oliver had begrudgingly had to go out. He didn't say where he was going but from the conversation Felicity had over heard it sounded as though his sister was having some trouble at the club that she owned and needed his help. He had asked her not to leave and to just enjoy the house, so that's how she found herself a few hours later, lying on the sofa in the front room, a film on the large screen and a selection of snacks around her. Felicity tried not to think about how used to this she could get. Oliver was a whirlwind, but one she would happily get lost in. He was so kind and caring but at the same time so demanding, so dominant. Felicity had never felt like this around anyone, despite the arrangements of their relationship, it felt so normal to her. Snuggling back against the pillow on the sofa, she couldn't help but think of just how much like Oliver it smelt, she felt at home here. Possibly more at home here than at her own apartment, she let that comforting thought wash over as her as she watched the film, eventually falling asleep with a smile on her face.
Oliver had never hated traffic as much as he did now. He had spent almost four hours at Verdant with Thea, her club had been broken into last night and she needed a little reassurance from her big brother. Though no one had been hurt and nothing had been taken, rage filled Oliver at how the lowlives of the City could do such selfish things. His sister had never done anything wrong to anyone, she didn't deserve to be scared of opening her club. Oliver had hired extra security, when she had gone to refuse, he stated it was for the club not just for her which had agreed on, both knowing he had hired extra security for her protection not just the clubs. But now, he was stuck in traffic, Italian takeaway beside him heading home to Felicity; if it hadn't been for the family emergency he would never have left her today. He had tried to phone her to ask if Italian was okay but there had been no answer, deciding she was probably busy doing...whatever it was she does to answer he chose Italian anyway and just hoped that she was still there.
The weekend so far had been one of the best weekends he had shared with someone. Felicity had taken to being flogged so well, he had expected her to regret wanting it, to regret wanting to be with him after it had happened. But she had been playful and wanted to experiment a little more, and experiment they had. He had spanked her for her cheeky behaviour, something she had told him made him made her feel naughty and good inside, she loved the way his hands felt on his body, and he loved how honest and open she was about everything. After another three hours of amazing sex, both hard and fast as she rode him on the leather armchair, and then when they had moved to the bed it felt more like making love than just fucking. Something he hadn't thought about in a long time. That's where they had both fallen asleep, and Oliver woke up five hours later with Felicity curled up on his chest. Felicity was definitely good for him.
"Felicity…" Oliver called as he walked into the house, it had taken an extra half an hour to get home and he had tried to call again but was beginning to panic when there was no answer. He set the food on the table and frowned when he heard voices, he followed the noise realising that it was coming from the front room. A room he very rarely had time to enjoy. His heart melt at the site that greeted him. Felicity was cuddled up on the sofa wearing one of his tees and a pair of her pyjama shorts, her hair was in a messy ponytail and she was smiling in her sleep. "My girl." Oliver smiled and walked over to her slowly, he crouched down clearing up the little snacks that had fallen down and stroked her cheek, she instantly curled into his touch.
"Oliver?" She mumbled in her sleep.
"It's me," Oliver smiled and her eyes blinked awake looking up at him. "Nice sleep?"
"Mm." Felicity smiled and sat up a little. "Time is it?"
"Almost five, I'm sorry I was so long." Oliver sighed. As she sat up he sat on the seat where her head was and he moved her so her head was in her lap and he started to play with her hair so softly, her eyes fell shut again and if she hadn't started to speak again he would have thought she had fallen asleep again.
"Was everything okay?" She asked softly.
"My sister owns Verdant, they were broken into last night. She just wanted me to go and help her." He answered.
"Is she okay?" Felicity asked her eyes blinking open worried.
"A little shaken." He said truthfully. "But I've hired some more security."
"Has she got an alarm system and stuff?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah." He shrugged.
"I can update it if you want? I'm...I'm good with security." She said smiling softly.
"You wouldn't mind?" Oliver asked, he wasn't even surprised. Felicity was an extremely caring and thoughtful person.
"Course not. Can do it tomorrow after work?" She suggested.
"Sounds good. I'll give her a call tomorrow to let her know we'll be dropping in." Oliver said and Felicity just nodded softly. "So what have you been doing whilst I was gone?"
"This?" Felicity grinned. "I was playing on my laptop a little. Updated a few firewalls I created. Just messing around."
"Sounds fun." Oliver smiled. "What are you watching?"
"One of the Sherlock Holmes films." Felicity answered. "I used to love watching them as a kid."
"Yeah? I've never really seen them." Oliver smiled.
"Well that's just weird." Felicity grinned.
"Well, I've got some food...how about we watch one whilst we eat?" Oliver suggested, Felicity looked up and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"You want to eat dinner and watch a movie with me?" Felicity smiled.
"Yes…" Oliver frowned. "I like your company. If you don't want…"
"I want to." Felicity said quickly cutting him off. "I just...There wasn't anything in the contract about free time."
"No, that's because I've never wanted to sit and eat and watch a film with any other girl." He answered with a soft smile. "But with you, I would love to cuddle up on the sofa and watch a film with you."
"Okay." Felicity smiled. "That sounds nice."
"Good." He grinned. "I'll go and bring the food in."
"Okay." Felicity smiled and sat up a little more, she tried to ignore the butterflies that were now swarming inside her belly.
"What's going to happen tomorrow?" Felicity asked Oliver softly. They were still on the sofa, their finished food on the small table beside them, Felicity cuddled into his arms as the film just finished.
"At work?" Oliver asked and Felicity nodded. "You will be my extremely skilled Applied Science worker, who will spend the morning in meetings with me as we get the building ready." He said, his hand going back to playing with her hair. "I'll probably find it very hard to keep my hands off of you…"
"I would be worried if you did." Felicity smiled up at him. "Has...Any of the other...the women you've had contracts with have they worked with you?"
"No." Oliver smiled. "I had a rule about mixing it with work, but couldn't help myself when I saw you."
"Oh." Felicity smiled.
"So tomorrow will be a new experience for me as well. But I promise, whatever happens here will not affect the position I have given you at the office." Oliver assured her and Felicity nodded softly.
"Okay." Felicity nodded and Oliver smiled watching her, he could practically see the cogs moving in her head.
"If you have anything to ask me Felicity, I'll always answer." He said softly.
"It's not a question… Just… It's going to be weird going back home." Felicity said quietly.
"Well, you could stay," Oliver pressed gently. "I'm not pushing you into it, but I do like spending time with you, and it is in the contract to spend at least four days here…"
"I know." Felicity nodded, for a brief moment she had forgotten all about the contract, all she could think about was how nice it felt being in his arms. "What days would you want me here?"
"Every day." Oliver grinned and Felicity rolled her eyes. "Weekends, Friday's and any other days of your choice."
"Monday's." Felicity nodded.
"So you'll be here tomorrow then." Oliver grinned.
"Yep." Felicity hummed. "After we go to help your sister."
"Of course." Oliver chuckled. "We'll go out for dinner too."
"Okay," Felicity smiled and sighed softly, she was really enjoying this, she felt Oliver move a little behind her and for a brief moment she thought he was moving to get up, but instead he took the remote put another film on and pulled her back against him more, a soft kiss to her forehead told her how much he was enjoying this too.
