Chapter 2

It had been two weeks since the incident and ever since then he hadn't looked at her the same and he always kept his distance from her. Every time he was around whether if it was for dinner or just the four of them hanging out together he seemed more distant than ever. Things with her and Thea had gone so great when they finally reunited it's like they weren't even away from each other. So she told Thea about it and they had this plan to help him get over being so weird and distant from her. Even if he didn't feel the same way about her that she felt for him, they were still friends and she missed him just as much as she had her family and other friends. So Thea had decided that Felicity would stay the night at her place and since her parents were out of town for a business meeting and wouldn't be back until the following week it would just be the three of them.

They ordered pizza and decided to watch a movie in the living room, so they sat on the couch in their pajamas under a blanket. Thea had picked the movie and as much to Felicity's dismay she decided on a horror movie which Thea loved to watch. They were halfway through the movie when they heard someone knock on the door. And considering that they just saw a scary part of the movie where the girl heard a strange noise wasn't exactly helping calm their nerves.

"We should probably check who it is right?"

"Well we kinda have to we're the only ones home."

"Well we should grab a bat or something just in case it's a murderer or psychotic person who's out for revenge?"

"Really, Felicity?"

"What? It could happen, just ask the girl in the movie. Oh wait you can't because she's dead!"

"Maybe we shouldn't have chosen a horror movie tonight."

"You think!?"

"Okay, well on the count of three we'll go together to see who it is."

"Okay, 1,2,3." They both walked slowly and when they got to the door Thea grabbed an umbrella from the closet since they didn't have a bat handy.

"Should we ask who it is?"

Just when Thea was about to ask the knocking started up again.

"Just look through the hole."

"Okay."

Thea looked through the door but couldn't really see much since it was pitch dark outside.

"I can't see a thing."

"Okay, then I'll open it."

Felicity put her hand around the knob when… The door knob started turning itself.

The door opened and both girls screamed.

"Hey! Hey! What's wrong? Are you okay?"

They opened their eyes to see Oliver standing at the door.

"Ollie, are you crazy!? What is wrong with you?"

"What did I do?"

"You nearly gave me and my best friend a heart attack!"

"Sorry, I couldn't find my keys and started knocking. Then I remembered were we kept the spare key."

"Besides I didn't know that you'd be home tonight."

"You could've called!?"

"Next time I will Speedy, I didn't mean to scare you."

"Yeah, well don't let it happen again! And besides I'm not the only one that you owe an apology to."

He looked over to a just as scared Felicity who was still by Thea's side with one arm on Thea and the other one against her chest. He walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Felicity, I'm sorry for scaring you it won't happen again."

"Oliver Jonas Queen, if you ever scare me like that again I'll freeze your assets and by assets I mean your bank account just in case there was any confusion."

"I promise it won't."

"Good!"

"Thank you."

"So what are you girls doing up this late anyway?"

"Well if you hadn't noticed my best friend is finally home and I've missed her like crazy! So I decided that were going to spend as much time together as possible until she gets sick of me."

"Thea I could never get sick of you."

"Right, just wait it'll happen. Maybe not today or next week but what if you meet someone and then you start spending all your time with them or if you find a new best friend?"

"Thea I think you're exaggerating a bit. Besides it's not like there's guys lining up down the street to date me. And no one can every replace you you're one of a kind."

"You say that now Liss, but what if your ex comes here and decides that he can't live without you and whisk you away back to Paris?"

"Yeah, that won't happen like ever; besides that only happens in movies."

She looked over to Oliver who had this weird expression on his face. His jaw was clenched like he was trying not to say something but if she didn't know any better he looked a little jealous. So to change the subject she turned to Thea.

"Thea it's getting late do you still want to watch the movie or should we head up to your room to sleep?"

"I think I've had enough horror for today, we should get some sleep."

"Goodnight, Ollie." She said as she went up to him and kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight, Speedy."

She was headed upstairs when she heard him.

"Goodnight, Felicity."

"Goodnight, Oliver. See you tomorrow."

The next day they had breakfast together.

"So, Liss I was thinking we should go to Verdant tonight? It should be fun and you haven't seen it yet right?"

"No I haven't and I don't know? Clubbing isn't really my type of scene."

"Come on Liss! It'll be fun and you can meet Roy, he works there."

"Well he does need my approval if he's going to date my best friend."

"Yah! Now we should finish up here and get dressed."

"Why, where we going?"

"Shopping for new outfits duh!"

They were in Thea's room getting dressed to go to the club. And she looked at herself in the mirror wondering if it was too much or in this case to little?

"Thea, are you sure I look okay?"

"Yes, Liss! You look hot!"

She looked at her outfit again it was a short black dress that had a deep v neck in the front that she paired with silver heels. She decided on a black lace bra that went great with the dress and a matching black lace thong. She fixed her makeup, nothing to crazy and her hair was down wavy.

Thea had on a red halter top with a black mini skirt and knee high black boots.

Checking their makeup one last time they grabbed their bags and headed to the club.

(Verdant)

They arrived at the club and it was packed for a Saturday night. Felicity ordered a shot to calm her nerves. Then they grabbed their drinks and headed to a table.

"So what do you think?"

"This is amazing, I can't believe there's so many people out tonight!?"

"Yeah, the club usually is packed with college students during the weekends."

"So when do I get to meet the infamous Roy?"

"I just texted him he should be coming soon."

Five minutes later Thea's phone beeped again.

"Roy just got here. I'm going to meet him at the door; will you be okay for five minutes?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine go find your boyfriend."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Thea returned to find a annoyed Felicity.

"Hey, Liss are you okay?"

"Yeah, but if one more immature guy comes up to me with another stupid pick up line I'm going to scream!"

"Okay, well I'm back now and I want to introduce you to Roy."

"Roy this is Felicity, Felicity meet Roy."

They shook hands and she got to know the guy who stole her best friend's heart a little bit better.

"So, Roy how did Thea guilt you into being her boyfriend?" She said with a smirk.

"Hey! I happen to be very adorable and persistent it's a good combo!"

"Yes you are! And honestly I was the one chasing after her. It took her a while to finally say yes to a date with. Then one date led to another and another, and here we are now."

"Awe, that's cute!"

"So does he meet your approval?"

"Hmm… well he has to if he's with you despite him working for your brother. Speaking of does he know the two of you are dating? I can't imagine he'd be okay with his employer dating his little sister."

"Yeah, that was the tricky part. We kept it a secret for a while but all the sneaking around was difficult so we told him and he was mad at first and didn't speak to me for days. But Roy got the worst of it at work doing extra shifts and all the glares from Oliver. Eventually he got over it well he got used to the idea and I think he's happy as long as I am."

"That sounds like your brother, always so stubborn."

"My brother isn't the only one you know?"

"Yeah, I do and luckily he isn't here tonight."

"Actually, Liss I think he just walked in with my brother."

"What! Are you serious?"

"What should we do?"

"Nothing! We're two adult women who shouldn't be afraid to stand up to their very annoying, hard headed older brothers!"

"Oh, my gosh their coming this way!"

Oliver and Tommy walked into the club to do some work stuff and make sure that everything was going smoothly. That is until they spotted their sisters across the room at a table.

They walked over to them and we're about to give them a piece of their minds when Oliver noticed what Felicity was wearing. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He looked at how long her legs were in those heels and how short her dress was and how her hair was down from its typical ponytail and had forgone her glasses for contacts, she looked absolutely beautiful.

"Felicity Meagan Merlyn! What do you think you're doing here!?"

"Well I wanted a girls night out with Thea and we decided on a club and since we happen to know two people who own one we came here. Is that a problem?"

"Yes, Yes it is! My little sister cannot be at a club dressed like that giving guys the wrong idea!"

"Really, Tommy! How is that any different from what you do?"

"It's different because, I said so!"

"That's your best argument?"

"Yes! For now, and we are not done talking about this Lissy!"

"I think we are! And if you'll excuse me I had to many drinks and have to go to the ladies room."

She got up and headed to the restrooms.

"Ollie, follow her please I don't want any sleazy guys hitting on her."

"Are you sure? She looks pretty mad."

Tommy glared at him.

"Okay, I'll go."

Oliver waited for her outside the restroom until she came out.

"Oliver, what are you doing here?"

"Tommy asked me to keep an eye on you."

"Do you always do what he tells you to do?"

"He's just worried about you. Can you blame him?"

"Yes! I can because I'm not a little girl anymore if you hadn't noticed."

"Felicity…"

"What?"

"I have noticed, believe me."

"Really?"

"Yes, and the way you're dressed is driving me crazy."

"Oliver…"

He moved closer to her and grabbed her by the waist and he could feel how soft her skin was.

She looked up at him and he was so close, if she just closed the gap between them. She was about to go for it but he beat her to it.

His lips were on hers and it felt so amazing and hot, really hot. Or maybe that was just her because the way he kissed her it was like she had never been kissed before. He bit the bottom of her lip and entered his tongue in and they were kissing like that for who knew how long when she could feel his hands moving lower one towards her ass and the other one in the back moving under her shirt.

She moaned into his mouth.

"Oliver…"

"Felicity…" he said as his lips moved to her neck where he bit her gently and then kissed it to soothe it.

"Maybe we should take this somewhere else, because I swear if we don't make it my place or yours were going to have to use this wall."

"My place is closer."

"Okay, let's go." She said a little out of breath.

She texted Thea letting her know she was leaving and to tell Tommy that Oliver was driving her because she wasn't feeling well.

Thea texted her back and said okay, and that she'd be staying over at Roy's place because she didn't want to drive home after drinking.

They reached his place and managed to make it to his room. He shut the door and kissed her again.

He unzipped her dress slowly and let it fall onto the floor. He took everything in as he stared at her in her black lacy bra and matching underwear which when she wrapped her legs around him realized she was wearing a thong. He grabbed onto her ass and walked over to his bed to lay her down.

"Felicity, you're so beautiful."

She could feel her cheeks begin to blush when he said that.

"You're not too bad yourself Mr. Queen." She said as she kissed him again.

She lifted his shirt off and felt his chest and how strong he was. She took her time too, after years of admiring him she wanted this moment to last now that she could finally touch him like this. She sat on his lap and straddled him while he continued to kiss her; she stopped for a second to take off her bra and threw it to the floor. He stared at her like she would disappear if he blinked; he wrapped his arms around her and could feel how soft her skin felt. They then laid on the bed and continued their night together….

The next morning she found herself wrapped in his arms with her head on his chest and she couldn't help but think how perfect and right it felt. She felt like she could stay like that forever. Then she heard her phone beep; five missed calls and ten text messages. Three from Tommy and two from Thea wondering how she felt and where exactly she ran off to that night along with a ton of text messages from them. She stared at her phone only to realize that it was the afternoon and they had overslept.

"Oh, frack!" She said to herself and it must have been louder than she had expected because Oliver began to stir.

"Hmm, what time is it?"

"It's late, well for me it is you probably sleep in late all the time?"

"Occasionally."

"It's only 12:30, that's not late."

"For me it is, you should see how many phone calls and messages I've missed."

"How about we forget about the phone and everybody else today?"

"How do you assume we do that?"

"I have some ideas." He said as he kissed her lips then moved down to her neck. Where she's pretty sure he left a mark aside from the other ones she had gotten last night.

"Oliver…."

"Fel-ic-ity…?"

"I love the way you say my name."

"I do too; I especially like it when you were saying mine last night."

"Oliver!" She said and smacked his chest.

"What? It wasn't a bad thing, I could get used to that Ms. Merlyn."

"Before we continue another round, don't you think we should maybe get some food?"

"We do need the stamina."

"Okay, then how about we shower, get dressed and head out for lunch together?"

"Yes to all three!"

"Wait I didn't mean we should shower together, although we have seen each other naked already. But only if you promise no funny business mister!"

"No promises!" He said as he kissed her again.

They showered and got dressed and were headed to a little café. They ordered their food and coffee to go. After they got their order they headed to the park.

They sat under a big tree on a blanket where they could have some privacy. Normally there would be a lot of people there but it was a surprisingly quite day, aside from the occasional joggers or people walking their dog. It felt nice just the two of them having a mini picnic.

"So why we're here why don't you tell me about your time in Paris? What was it like?"

She took a sip of her coffee before answering him.

"Hmm, well I know that I really needed to get away from everything and honestly high school wasn't exactly great for me. So I figured that when I got the opportunity to study abroad that'll be great and a wonderful new experience. And it was at first, but I started to miss my brother and the small group of friends that I did have."

"Do you regret going?"

"No, not at all. Paris offered me a new start a new beginning where I could find myself and to be independent, which is something that I couldn't do here. And it was tough at first, I didn't exactly fit in at first but I made some new friends and things got better. I found new friendships and relationships that I never knew I could find."

"So you made new friends… and had a relationship?"

"Well I did make friends Caitlin, Iris, and Barry. There my best friends and sure I dated a bit but it was nothing really serious…well except for Barry. We dated for a couple months but in the end we decided that it would be better if we were just friends."

"So it was serious with Barry? Did you love him?"

"It was serious with Barry, and I did love him… but it was a different kind of love. He'll always be my friend that I love just like with Caitlin and Iris."

"So I have nothing to worry about?"

"No, nothing at all." She said as she leaned up to kiss him.
