"Do we have to go to Nate's soccer match?"

"Yes, I promised him I would be there and so did you."

"Cant I change my mind?"

Charlie threw the bed covers over her and sat up. Kick off was in a couple of hours and she promised Rikki she would sit down in the player's lounge and go through the seating plan. She stood up but Oliver grabbed her hand and pulled her back down. He then rolled on top of her by pinning her arms down but he wasn't putting all of his weight on her.

"Oliver I'm serious now."

"Yeah and so am I. Can't we just spend a day in? I mean this is meant to be a holiday."

"It might be for you but I'm here to help my brother get married. Now can you please get off of me?"

"Give me one good reason why I should."

"Because you purposed to me and don't make me call off the engagement over you not letting me get out of bed."

Oliver laughed and he leaned down to kiss Charlie. As soon as his lips touched hers, she started laughing her head off. Oliver jerked his head back and rolled off of Charlie. He turned her so that she was facing him but she was still laughing.

"What's with the laughing?"

"I'm sorry; I just needed you to get off of me so I could get up."

Realizing Charlie had just tricked him Oliver reached out to grab her only to realize that she was gone. He looked around the room but he couldn't see her.

"Aww c'mon Charlie. You know I hate it when you disappear on me. It's not fair because I cant do it to you."

"That's the whole point."

Oliver looked around but he couldn't tell where her voice was coming from. Charlie stood at the bottom of the bed and she started laughing on the inside because it was a funny sight seeing Oliver trying to see something that wasn't there. She then left the room and headed towards the bathroom so she could have a quick shower before she left. Nate had called her the previous night asking her nicely to wear something other than her usual sweater and jeans to the players lounge. She didn't know what to wear so she was just going to play it by ear when she got out of the shower.

Oliver heard the shower turn on and he relaxed a little because he knew where Charlie was. He had a feeling that she was going leave him stranded again with nothing to do. He then got up off the bed and picked up his shirt from the night before and put it on. Back home he could just walk around in his shirts but it was cold when he woke up in London. He then walked into the living room and pulled out a box from a shopping bag. He opened it and smiled. He knew Charlie was going to murder him but he didn't care. He wanted to spend money on her whether she liked it or not. He then placed it on the bed and pulled his suit out of his bag. It made sense that if Charlie had to make an effort, then so did he.

Charlie walked out of the shower with her old beach towel wrapped around her and her hair was out and soaking wet. She grabbed a dry towel off of the radiator and started drying her hair with it. when she walked into the bedroom she saw Oliver standing up, pacing around and talking on the phone.

"Look I can't really look into it right now. I'm in London with Charlie. Her brother is getting married on the 17th and I was invited. I'll look into it when I get back."

He then slammed his phone shut and turned to face Charlie wearing a pink beach towel.

"Looks like someone needs you."

"Nah, they just think they do."

"I really am glad that you're here with me. I mean I don't know what I would have done if you didn't come."

"I'm sure you would have been okay. I mean you are Charlie Hart, one of the daily planet's best journalists during the day and at night; you're Stealth riding around on a motorbike stopping crime."

"Maybe but I don't think that Charlie Hart can handle the fact that Lex Luthor is after her and she doesn't know why, her brother is getting married in a few days and she is the maid of honor and she just found out that she has a half sister."

Charlie then turned herself invisible so she could put on some clean underwear and grab one of Oliver shirts from his bag. When she reappeared her started brushing her hair.

"What is it with you and my shirts?"

"They are comfortable and I should be entitled to them."

"Next time I'm gonna charge you. Anyways what is so wrong with finding out that you have a half sister? I would have loved to have a sibling when I was growing up."

"Yeah when you were growing up. I don't think that you would love it so much if someone came knocking on you're door claiming they were you're half sibling."

"Claiming? So you think that she is making it all up?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Oliver looked at Charlie's face as she went into her closet and pulled out a pair of black pants.

"You think that she is working for Lex don't you? I mean it does make sense since Lex does want to get close to you but I doubt it. Why don't you have a blood test taken or something? Then you can be 100% sure."

"Maybe but not till after the wedding. I don't think Nate and Rikki need anything else to worry about right now. What do you think?"

Charlie held up the pants and a red blouse that she pulled out of her closet aswell.

"I mean Nate he wanted me to look presentable and all my dresses are either too short of too summery."

"Maybe not. I mean it looks nice but it's something that you would normally wear to work. How about you wear this?"

Oliver then turned around and pulled out a sky blue dress from the box he had bought in from the living room while Charlie was in the shower. It was strapless and the length was just above the knee. Charlie looked at it and it was perfect. It wasn't too smart but it wouldn't make her look like a tramp either. She then looked up at Oliver and he had a huge grin on his face. She crossed her arms around her chest and stood with her right hip slightly out.

"When and where did you get this and how much did you spend on me again?"

"Well yesterday when Rikki picked me up she had to head to Oxford Street to pick up a few things and I might have headed into Selfridges and looked around. Look it wasn't that much."

"Really and what designer is it?"

"Valentino."

"Valentino? And you're telling me it wasn't that much. Oliver I wish you would stop spending so much money on me. I know you have it and you want to spend it but please don't buy me anything else. I mean whenever you go away for the night you always come back with something for me and the majority of the time, it has a diamond in it. Then you got me the most beautiful engagement ring ever and now this. Please stop."

"Okay I will. But you have to wear the dress."

Charlie looked at him and he held out the dress to her. She took it and she started laughing at him. He held up his hands in defense and started laughing with her. Charlie walked towards him and threw the dress on the bed and wrapped her hands securely around his neck.

"You don't know how much I love you Oliver Queen."

"Well you must know that I love you a lot since I want you to be the future Mrs. Oliver Queen."

"Hmm I like the Queen bit. Not that much of a fan on the Oliver bit."

Oliver laughed and he kissed her lightly on the lips.

"C'mon lets get ready. I wanna see why everyone in this country makes a big deal over you're brother."

"Well you might be a little amazed, oh and I used all of the hot water."

"Nice."

Charlie giggled and she started getting ready while Oliver got in the shower.

"hey Rikki, you got a minute?"

Rikki looked up from her desk and saw Kyle's head in the doorway.

"Yeah come on in."

Kyle then came in and he sat down opposite his best mate's fiancée.

"What's up?"

"I need you're permission on something."

"Depends on what it is first."

"Is Nate allowed to have a stag night?"

"Course he is. I'm not gonna stop him but just promise me that he will be safe and no strippers."

Kyle laughed and he started eating the apple that Rikki had on her desk.

"He will be safe. We are having at the my brother's club and I promise you there will be no strippers."

"Then yes he is now you better go get changed. Kick off is in less than an hour."

Kyle then nodded and headed for the home team's changing room. Rikki shook her head and laughed on the inside. She didn't understand how that guy was still living. He was the biggest goofball she knew. She sat up and put Sean Bails' folder back into the file cabinet. She knew that Charlie seeing him again after all these years wasn't a good thing but there wasn't much she could do about it. Sean was invited to the wedding because he is apart of the squad and Charlie is her maid of honor. She then grabbed her jacket and made her way up to the footballer's lounge to watch the game. She was meeting Clark, Charlie and Oliver up there. Nate had invited Sophie despite how Charlie felt about her but to Rikki's relief she said she had a hairdressing class. Rikki didn't have anything against her but she knew that Charlie hadn't warmed up to her yet and she knew what Charlie was like when she is around something she doesn't particularly trust.

When Rikki got up to the lounge she saw Clark and Oliver standing by the window looking down at the ground.

"Quite a big stadium isn't it?"

Oliver looked around and he saw Rikki and hugged her and so did Clark.

"Yeah it is. When does the match start?"

"In an hour or so. Do you guys want a drink?"

"Just a juice or something for me."

Rikki nodded at Clark and she turned to Oliver.

"Oh could I have a glass of white wine?"

"Sure."

Rikki smiled and she headed over to the bar. When Antonio, the Italian bartender saw her he smiled.

"The usual Miss Evens?"

"Yes please and an orange juice and a glass of white wine."

He nodded and started pouring the drinks. Rikki then turned her head and saw Charlie sitting at the bar. She smiled because she was wearing the dress that Oliver had bought her the day before.

"Antonio, could you also get whatever my future sister-in-law wants."

Charlie looked around and she saw Rikki standing at the bar. She waved at her and made her way over to her.

"What will it be Miss Hart?"

Charlie looked at the extremely good looking bartender and smiled.

"I'll have a Tia Maria and diet coke please. So do you have the plans for the seating arrangement?"

"Yes I do and shoot. I left them in my bag which is in my office."

Charlie laughed as she took her drink and gave Antonio a fiver for her drink.

"It's on the house Miss Hart. I mean you're brother is one of the best on the team."

"Thank you."

Charlie smiled as she sipped her drink.

"Well just tell Clark where you're office is and I'm sure he'll get it for you."

Rikki picked up her drink and Clark's while Charlie picked up hers and Oliver's and walked over to them. Charlie handed Oliver his drink and he took a sip of it. He then looked over at what Charlie was drinking.

"What's in you're drink?"

"Tia Maria and diet coke. Wanna try it?"

Oliver nodded and Charlie handed her drink to him so he could try it. he did and he found it quite nice.

"Not bad. Where did you get the combination from?"

"My mum always drank it. I don't know where she got it from though."

Oliver nodded and he handed Charlie back her drink. He didn't say anything else because he knew that it hurt Charlie everytime she spoke about her mother.

*****

3 hours later while Nate and Rikki were still celebrating Arsenal's victory, Oliver was sitting down on one of the sofa's trying to cuddle up to Charlie.

"Oliver stop it."

"Why?"

"Because there is like 5o people in this room."

"So?"

"They could be watching us."

"Let them. I want all of them to know how lucky I am to be engaged to you."

Charlie then started giggling because Oliver started tickleing her so he could cuddle her. She then stopped because Clark walked up to her with a serious face. Oliver let go of her and she stood up and looked at Clark.

"Clark, what's wrong?"

"This. Charlie it's everywhere."

Clark held up the Sun newspaper and Charlie was in utter shock when she read the headline on the front page.
