Halloween Party

The bruises on the sides of Felicity's neck took some time to heal, due to the severity. Two weeks later, Felicity returned to work at the office. Oliver, being the owner of the company, gave her permission to work from the mansion.

When she returned, there on her desk, were vase full of beautiful red roses, and a card. She opened the card when her office door closed behind her. The card read,

Dear Felicity,

These are for you. Once again I would like to apologize for the accident. I love you with all my heart, and I want you to know that. The company is throwing our annual Halloween charity event. It will be at the mansion, on Halloween Night. Would you honor me by accompanying me? You can wear a costume if you like.

Sincerely yours,

Oliver Queen CEO

She immediately took out her phone and texted Oliver her answer, she said yes.

The next day, Felicity went shopping for her costume, or at least the makeup part of it. When she arrived at the mansion, she stepped out of the limousine that Oliver sent to pick her up. When she entered the ballroom, she was wearing a full-length turquoise ball gown with black accents. Her arms were covered in fake gashes. She wore a mask to hide her identity. Her face was white, with gashes just above her right eye and one going down her cheek.

She tried to find Oliver. He was nowhere to be found or at least she could not recognize him. Felicity felt someone or something following her as she walked towards the center of the floor. She decided to quickly turn around; just to find out it was Oliver, dressed up as The Vigilante. The look of surprise on her face was priceless.

"Oliver, what are you doing, everyone will figure out you are the vigilante," she whispered. He leaned over her and took her hand and led her away from all the people.

"Felicity, everyone knows it's a costume party, its just what I decided to dress up as, I am wearing the mask remember," he reassured her. He also said he got dressed after he got home, and that he also came in a secret entrance away from all the people.

"Okay Ollie, let's go back and mingle," she said as she turned her back towards him. He quickly grabbed her hand, brought it to his lips brushing a kiss against her knuckles before leading her back to the floor of the ballroom.

After the initial scare of his secret getting out, Felicity walked over to the bar and received a glass of champagne, took a few sips to calm her nerves. Oliver then grabbed both of her hands and led her to the dance floor. Felicity's favorite slow song came on.

Oliver offered her his hand. She graciously took it and wrapped her free arm around his neck, and they gently swayed back in forth until the song had ended.

She felt sort of breathless, so she decided to go out to the gardens. Oliver did not notice she had slipped out; he was too busy meeting with investors. When he was done talking, he noticed she wasn't in the room. He was above the floor on the balcony; when he looked out the window, he sees her in the gardens. He walked down the stairs and through the door, to go and see her.
