Felicity had been debating with herself all night what to do. Should she go to the funeral? Its' not like she knew Sandra but the thought of seeing Oliver again even from a distance was tempting. The black dress she had on her closet starring at her and she felt like screaming.
With a sigh she grabbed the dress and headed to the bathroom to get ready. This was a bad idea and she knew it.
Ever since they talked about Sandra's death William had problems sleeping and last night was no exception. Oliver had spend the last few nights staying in his son's room until he fell asleep but last night felt different than all the other. Maybe because today was the funeral and William knew it was all a lot difficult.
Once he took a shower and was dressed he made his way to the dining room. Thea and his mother were already there and so was William who was slowly eating his cereal.
"Good morning Oliver did you get some sleep last night?" Moira asked as she took her coffee mug and poured some more in to it as Oliver jawed
"I guess that answers your question." He said as he kissed the top of his son's head "Did you sleep some champ?" he asked as William give him a half smile
"Area you both ready for today?" Thea asked slowly as she drank her orange juice
"You are never ready for something like this honey." Moira said as Thea nodded remembering how it was her father had died. Sure she was older then William but it didn't mean that the pain was not there
William looked surprisingly calm about all of this and Oliver was glad because he only wanted this day to be over.
Laurel glanced once more at herself in the mirror. The black dress fitted her perfectly and he face with light make up on it looked surprisingly pail as her honey blond curls framed her face and she sighed
"Honey where is the black tie you left for me?" Tommy called form the bathroom as he was working on the buttons of his shirt and Laurel just smiled picking up the tie form the chair and setting it around her husband's neck
"Do you want me to tie it for you?" she asked in a rather tiered voice
"No I can do it thanks." He said looking at the mirror as he started working on the tie and she smiled
"Dad and Donna are coming to the funeral." She said as Tommy looked at her confused "Dad knew Sandra's parents he kind of feels like he should be there." She said with a sigh
"Do you know if… if Felicity is coming with them?" he asked finishing his tie proudly looking at it in the mirror
"If she is dad didn't seem to know about it." Laurel said "Sara also called she was surprised to hear about Sandra. She and Ray will be coming to Starling tonight apparently he convinced her to move to Starling." Tommy shook his head at that
"We have been trying to do that for what five years now?" Tommy asked and Laurel smiled nodding her head
"It's strange that a man seceded to do that in less than a month." She told her husband who took in a deep breath
"Are you ready?" she just nodded "The let's get going
Caitlin looked out of the window just as it started to rain. Yesterday when she talked to Felicity her friend was debating if she should go to Sandra Queen's funeral. Caitlin knew how Felicity felt about Oliver and that despite her best efforts to forget about him she failed
"You are deep in thought." Barry said and she glanced over at him drinking coffee and smiled
"Today is her funeral." Caitlin said with a sigh
"You think she is going to go?" Barry asked as she shrugged looking at him
"I really don't know what she is going to do anymore." She said looking out the window "She was considering it the last time we talked." Caitlin said as she walked over to him and hugged him
"He really got to her huh?" he asked as his fiancé nodded her head "You know what?" Barry asked as Caitlin just looked up at him "I never thought she was in love with Palmer." As he said that Cait frowned
"You didn't?" she asked confused as he shrugged
"They didn't feel like a couple to me they weren't in love Cait or at least they didn't look in love to me." As he said that Cait thought about it and she realized he was acutely right
The funeral was filled with people Oliver was not sure he recognized as he held William close to him while Alan held Maya who was crying. He wished to never have to experience such pain. Losing William; he didn't even want to think about it.
The rain was getting heavier as Felicity watched Oliver with his son. Surprisingly she saw more Oliver in the little boy then anyone. The blond hair and the teary blue eyes were the exactly like his father. Just as she was about to turn around and leave he noticed her.
She really had high hopes he wouldn't but there was no such luck and she made a run for it. Dealing with him now was not a good idea maybe talking to him ever was going to be hard.
Oliver could not believe she was here. Why did she come here? He looked over at Thea who noticed her as well and he knew that nothing needed to be said for her to tell him to go. Once he reached her he pulled her by the elbow
"What are you doing here?" he asked the rain was socking him but he didn't care because all that mattered now was that
"It doesn't matter I shouldn't have come." Was all she could managed to say as he let go of her and she was about to walk away
"I'm sorry." She turned to look at him his clouts were wet and his hair slopped all over "I should have told you before anything happened between us but I didn't." she took in a deep breath as he stepped closer once again "Sandra and I… we got married because of William for him to have a family. At first it worked we had a kid and our life was not so bad." He said as she watched him "But we were both missing something. We were never in love with each other; a few months ago Sandra met James he is a doctor. In Central City she made a lot of trips there and… she fell in love with him. A month ago she told me she wanted a divorced that she wanted us both to be happy and that it was the best thing for both of us." He said taking in a deep breath "She was right because a week later I met this amazing woman who asked for my help and along the way… she made me so madly in love with her." He laughed and so did she "But then she found out the truth and everything went nuts." Felicity sighed "Sandra and I wanted to long to be happy and she had that happiness for a few months. I don't want to wait years to feel like that but I will if you will be there; because Felicity Smoke I think I'm in love with you. And if you are worried that William in not going to like you oh boy are you wrong." Felicity exhaled the breath that she didn't even know she was holding "Because I told him about you and trust me that kid love's you even more then I do if that is even possible. I'm not asking you to marry me; at least not right now." She laughed at that "But I'm asking you to give us a chance because we could be amazing together." At those words Felicity started crying just as the rain stopped
"I have been thinking about you a lot and I missed you too." She told him as she made her way closer to him closing her umbrella as she kissed him it was short because he cut it looking at her with a smile
"You are going to get all wet." She laughed at that
"It doesn't matter." She told him as she kissed him again and this time he didn't cut it short
The Queen's had invited the few of the closest friends to the house for lunch. Thea and Moira had tried to keep the conversation light since William was there
"Where is Oliver?" Digg asked Tommy who shrugged
"I didn't see him after the funeral maybe hiding in his room." Tommy said as Digg shook his head
"He isn't honey I checked." Laurel who joined the conversation together with Lyla
"You don't think something happened do you?" Lyla asked as she passed Digg his glass of whisky as Laurel took a sip of her while and Tommy sighed
"Let's hope not. William just lost his mother losing his father at the same time would crush the little guy." As he said that they all looked around the room with no sign of Oliver
Thea was gripping her wine glass which was almost empty as she checked her phone every second looking at the door as her mother stepped closer
"If you grip that glass any tighter it's going to break Thea." The young woman almost jumped at the sound of her mother's voice "What's wrong?" she asked as Thea smiled "You have been glancing at your phone every other minute and watching the door like a hawk I know your brother is missing but I'm sure that he is fine." Moira assured her daughter as Thea sighed
"Felicity was at the funeral." Thea said knowing her mother didn't needed any further explanation
"Oliver followed her didn't he?" she asked as Thea had a half smile on her face while Moira drank the rest of the whisky left in her glass and sighed
Sara was deep in thought as she was eating her food or more likely playing with it on her plate as Ray observed her
"Sara." At the mention of her name she jumped and looked at him "Are you ok?" he asked as she inhaled a deep breath
"Yeah I'm just… thinking about the whole thing with Sandra." She shook her head as she took a bit of her food after ten minutes of playing with it
"Did you know her well?" Ray asked as Sara just shook her head
"No I was more Oliver's friend then hers but I kind of feel bad for her and for William." Ray looked at her confused "Oliver's and Sandra's son. That kid just lost a mom I can't even imagine what that must be like. I mean my parents divorced once both Laurel and I were teens and besides they had stopped being happy with each other a long time ago this is different." Ray nodded
"But that's not all that's on your mind is it?" Sara was about to say something "We have known each other what a few weeks and me asking you to come to Starling with me might have been hurried…" he started as Sara took his hand in hers
"No that's not it. I had actually been thinking about moving to Starling a long time ago." She smiled as he listened carefully "Laurel and Felicity are both there and dad has been nagging that I live to far away and don't even visit at all I'm just a little anxious about this. Trust me you are not pushing me." She said with a smile
"Good because that is the last thing I want to do right now. I like you Sara a lot and I would like to see where this goes for us." At that Sara bit her lower lip
"I'd like that too." She said with full smile as her eyes shined
Oliver knew his mother and sister and everybody else was probably worried about him and thinking where he is. Lunch was probably going to be served soon but he didn't want to leave Felicity. It didn't make sense because it's not like she was going to disappear if he went out that door.
But looking at her sleep on his shoulder the soft breaths she was taking and her golden hair shredded all around him. Her scent filled him and letting her go didn't seem like an option.
After the speech and the kiss on the rain he followed her to her apartment and they had spent the last few hours making out like teenager on her couch until she fall asleep on top of him. God he didn't know it was possible to miss a person like that. He could feel her snuggling closer and as he looked down at her smiling at him her eyes wide open
"Hi." She said with a smile that her returned "So it wasn't a dream." Felicity said as Oliver laughed lightly
"No it was definitely not a dream but I really should get going." As he said that she closed her eyes as he kissed the top of her head
"I don't want you to go." She said as Oliver sighed
"Then come with me." He said as she just nodded her head
Lunch was over and Oliver was still not home. Thea could see her mother pacing up and down the room not being subtle. As Laurel and Tommy walked over to her Thea once again glanced over to the doorway
"He is still not here huh?" Tommy asked as she just shook his head
"His phone is turned off I'm worried." Just as she said that Oliver and Felicity walked in the back door scaring the poor Raisa to death. Oliver just offered her the apologetically smile as the woman shook her head
Once they had reached the living room Oliver got attacked by his mother with a 101 question from where he was and did he know how worried she was. Thea hugged Felicity and offered her a drink that the blond refused
"I saw you at the funeral. It looked like your mom didn't know you were coming." She said as Felicity smiled glancing over at her mother who was speaking to someone
"I was debating whether I should come or not this morning I still don't know why I come." Thea just smiled as Laurel showed up next to Felicity
"I know why?" Felicity looked at her stepsister "Because you missed Oliver." She told her and Felicity sighed
"Look Felicity you obviously have feelings form my brother and I can assure you that he has feelings for you too." That made Felicity smiled as she glanced over the room looking for Oliver but could not find him
Donna was pulled away from her conversation by her husband and she smiled apologizing
"Honey did you know Felicity was coming to the funeral?" Lance asked as Donna looked at him surprised noticing her daughter dressed in a black dress and high heels standing next to Laurel and Thea
"I had no idea she was coming." Quentin looked at her seriously "I promise she didn't tell me honey." Quentin sighed at his wife's words "Quentin she is probably here to see Oliver." She said with a smile as they watched Felicity talking to Laurel and Thea.
