Here we are with chapter 14! Wow can you believe that's the one we are on? I didn't, I had to go back and check really quick and then say "Really?! That's really how many I have so far?!" So it's okay if you can't believe it either. I did my best with the Olicity love and I know it can't come anywhere near the actual episode where THAT EPIC LOVE happened, and it might not be able to come close to some of the other authors on this site that write that side of things a little better, but I do hope that I at least gave it some justice.

I wanted a scene that showed how Oliver and Felicity are connected in every way and it wasn't just sex or even just love. Oliver has had that with plenty of women, and we all know Felicity is different from them all. I wanted it to be beautiful and tasteful and respectful. I didn't want anything dirty or 'Fifty Shades of Grey' over the top (No I have not read that book or seen the movie, two things I also have no desire TO do.) I wanted everything that makes Olicity. Love, beauty, humor, babbling, honesty, gratefulness. Just everything and do it in a way that brings a smile to your face.

So anyway, I'm going to shut up now and let you continue doing what you came here to do and I apologize for having a rambling conversation about sex. I do want to add though, that is probably the last scene like that I will EVER do. It is definitely the last one in this story. As much as I would love to give you a Roy and Thea scene, as much as I want to convey that they have the same type of closeness in this story, I'm absolutely not going to. Sorry.

Chapter 14

Relax

Felicity woke up feeling blissful and sated. She had rolled onto her other side sometime during the night and now lay facing away from Oliver with his arm across her middle. She noticed the clock read 6:18, early enough that no one in the house would be awake yet. With a smile, she turned so she was facing him and snuggled into his chest with his arm now laying around her back. Her smile grew wider as Oliver let out a big sigh, his arm reflexively tightening around her, the other coming out from behind his head to also curl around her back. Felicity lay there awake, just basking in the after glow of what had happened the night before. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth as moments from last night began sliding through her mind. It was a new milestone in their relationship that would change everything. Well, hopefully not everything. Because I could definitely get used to this. I mean, I slept with Oliver Queen! Words I never thought I would say. Words that a lot of other women have already said. No! No, I can't go there because that's a dangerously long list and would probably be best if not brought up. I don't want to know the number and we don't need to talk about it. I mean, I know he's clean and obviously I am. But we didn't use a condom last night and I'm usually way more careful than that. I mean, I'm on birth control but still. That alone was a pretty big move for me, much less not using a condom and sleeping with OLIVER QUEEN! I really need to stop that.

"Quiet down, Felicity. Thea and Roy can probably hear your thinking all the way across the hall." Oliver's voice came out gruff and he sounded like he was still half asleep.

"Sorry." Felicity whispered back.

"How are you?" Oliver asked her quietly.

"That's a strange question. Like a question you would ask a woman who you stole her virginity from. Not a question you ask after sleeping with your girlfriend for the first time. Oh, wow, I said girlfriend. Is that the first time I've said that? I mean, can I say that? Is that what we are? Is that what you want to be? Don't feel pressured to say yes now just because I asked. Wow, I am making this seem really awkward and it doesn't need to be. Shouldn't be I mean." Oliver found himself unable to resist smiling at Felicity's ramble.

"You couldn't find a better way to let me know you're all right than babbling."

"I think you were the first person to ever find my babbling and lack of a brain to mouth filter endearing." Felicity laughed softly.

"Endearing? No. Hilarious? Absolutely. And we are together in every sense of the word, Felicity. You can say it however you want." Oliver smiled.

"You better find it endearing. Charming, too. I'd go so far to say you find it a turn on. Any good boyfriend would." Felicity challenged.

"Oh, I would definitely go as far as turn on. Especially the sexual innuendos. Those are my personal favorites." Oliver got a punch to the shoulder for that response.

"Ouch, Rocky. No more training for you." Oliver quipped.

"Was that a joke? Did Oliver Queen just make a joke? Well, I certainly must be dreaming." Felicity said as she made a show out of pinching herself.
"That's funny." Oliver said while beginning to get out of bed. Whatever retort Felicity had been thinking about saying died before it reached her mouth at the sight in front of her.

"Felicity, you're drooling on the sheets." Oliver said over his shoulder while walking towards the bathroom. Felicity found that her mouth was indeed open, but she certainly wasn't drooling. Not literally anyway.

"Wow. Two jokes. You must be in a good mood." Felicity was genuinely surprised. Something in Oliver seemed to have shifted.

"I am. I will be in a better one after I take a shower." Felicity nodded and was getting lost in her thoughts again when Oliver cleared his throat. She flicked her gaze back up from the bed and realized he was staring at her.
"Felicity. That was the invitation." Oliver smirked as her eyes widened. Felicity did not remember ever getting out of bed as quickly as she did in that moment. She walked into the bathroom as Oliver was getting the temperature right in the shower. Felicity was surprised she didn't feel shy in any way around Oliver. Even after she had been with prior partners, she had always covered herself up after. But then, everything had been different with Oliver from the start. Felicity smiled to herself as she walked over to the counter and flicked on the radio Oliver had in there. When she turned around after finding a station she saw Oliver once again staring at her, seeming to commit every part of her to his memory. Oliver held his hand out to her and Felicity immediately placed her hand in his, no hesitation. They stepped into the large shower together, taking comfort out of the simplicity of the presence of the other. Taking comfort out of each touch.

"This is one thing that will always be just us." Oliver whispered into her hair.

"You've never showered with anyone before?" Felicity asked hesitantly.

"No. Just you. That's how I want everything from now on. Just you." Oliver framed her face in his hands and kissed her deeply.

When they stepped out of the shower a good forty five minutes later, the bathroom was filled with steam like a sauna. Oliver still had a smile on his face and Felicity was giggling as he toweled her dry. They both got dressed and made their way downstairs to the dining room, holding hands. They found Raisa just beginning to set out plates for breakfast as a look at the watch on his wrist told Oliver it was going on seven thirty. He and Felicity had spoken about going into the office while they had been in the shower. They had never gotten to have that meeting with Walter and Oliver was more than ready to take back the reins of the family company. But he wanted to be sure Felicity was ready to go back first, because without her he wasn't going. She had been more than willing to take her place as Vice President and get back into the normal swing of things. They heard Moira speaking from behind them and were surprised when they turned around to see her walking in from the living room with none other than Walter. The two of them were chatting and smiling like two people who were completely comfortable with each other. It seemed as though they had regained the closeness they shared before the undertaking had happened. The two stopped once they spotted Oliver and Felicity, Walter automatically stepping forward to shake Oliver's hand. Oliver glanced at it for a moment before walking forward and hugging Walter. The older man seemed surprised for a moment before smiling and responding in kind. He patted Oliver's back before stepping away and turning to Felicity. She smiled and practically ran into him as she hugged him as well. Walter let out a slight laugh as he hugged her back and Moira and Oliver shared a smile.
"I'm so glad the two of you are alright. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see you at the hospital, Felicity." Walter said contritely.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I heard from everyone else that you had come in to check on me and asked about me several times." Felicity assured the man.

"Still, I feel badly. I was just so worried about Moira." Walter hugged Moira a little tighter to his side as he spoke.

"Believe me, Walter you did more than enough. Someone had to run the company while everything else was falling apart. And you are the only man I know capable of being able to do that and take care of my mother at the same time." Oliver smiled his thanks.

"Felicity! Are all of those bruises from the accident?" Moira asked in shock as she took in the bruises on the young girl's face.
"Oh. Uh. Well, I-" Felicity tried to think of something. She knew Moira knew about what she and Oliver did at night, but Walter was not aware.

"I guess I didn't realize how bad they were. I must not have seen you up close in natural light." Moira said smoothly.

"Yeah, they got darker after I brought her home." Oliver said lamely.

"Well, I'm sure Oliver has taken care of everything." Neither Oliver or Felicity missed the double meaning behind her words. She obviously knew something else had gone down and was making sure the danger had passed.

"Absolutely. She'll be good as new in no time." Oliver assured her. He knew she would want to know at least some of the details later.

"Well, what did the two of you have planned for the day?" Walter asked, oblivious to the underlying meaning to the other three's words.

"We were actually going to head into the office to talk to you. We never got to have our meeting the other day." Felicity said brightly.

"Ah, well what is it you needed?" Walter questioned.

"We wanted to talk to you about Felicity and I returning to the company." Oliver stated.

"Well, actually there is a lot to go over so over breakfast seems the best way to go. I have all the papers that will be needed in my briefcase." Walter smiled as he went to gather the papers that he would need. The three of them headed into the dining room to go over everything they would need to know.

Moira had decided to completely hand over the company to Oliver. She was ready to retire from QC and let Oliver continue the legacy of the company. Walter would also be signing over his share of the company to Oliver, giving him complete controlling interest. Oliver had not expected to be given the entire company, he had just wanted to take over the same amount of shares he had before. Walter apparently wasn't done with the surprises as he slid more papers out of his folder. He waited until Oliver had finished reading them before explaining to Felicity and Moira what they were for.

"I assumed that you would want to split the company with Felicity, so I had these papers drawn up for you to sign over half to her. It is of course your decision, but I made a judgment call." Walter informed them. Before Felicity or Moira could comment, Oliver began signing the papers.

"Wait! Oliver, shouldn't you think this over? It's kind of a big deal." Felicity quickly said.

"I don't need to think it over. Walter was right in knowing that this is exactly what I want. You deserve a share of this company. You deserve a bigger share than me if we're being honest." Oliver told her with a quirk of his lips. He handed the papers back to Walter as he and Moira put their signatures in the required spots. Felicity was twisting her hands together over the table, feeling nervous about the entire thing. She stopped when Oliver places his hand over hers and gave her a steadying look.

"The original plan was Oliver as acting CEO and you his vice president. Walter and I felt it was a bit more sensible to have you each as Co-CEO to the other." Moira explained warmly.

"What are you worried about?" Oliver asked Felicity, knowing there had to be a main purpose to her worry.

"So we're not going to see each other at work now?" Felicity hesitated to ask the question, and asked it quietly.

"I won't let that happen. And I have a say in that." Oliver told her reassuringly.

"Well, that was something else Moira and I discussed." Walter said hesitantly. He didn't want them to think he and Moira had been making their decisions for them. They were just trying to help them get everything sorted out and ready for when they decided to go back. Moira clasped Walter's hand and gave him a smile before turning to Oliver and Felicity again.

"The entire 18th floor has been cleared out and redone with two main offices. There is a short hallway before either of you come to the offices where your EA will be. We decided it would be best for the two of you to have just one. You also have a bit of privacy from that EA in case there are things you discuss that you don't want anyone else hearing. I know the two of you don't trust many people." Moira was giving Oliver and Felicity the privacy needed for when they needed to discuss their 'nightly activities'.
