The sea is such a lonely place.
Felicity never thought, in her wildest dreams that she would feel this lonely and this disconnected.
She misses Oliver every single day, and Robert Queen isn't exactly the best of company.
Robert and the rest of the crew on board tend to keep to themselves. They perform their duties day after day; they don't question the reasoning behind it. They don't speak out against Robert or Tony Oregon, who happens to be the captain of the ship.
Tony is ruthless and assertive when he needs to be. But, you can easily tell that the entire crew on board take orders from Robert Queen.
Robert seemed to stay in his office day after day, rarely coming out. He didn't particularly address her much, but he was kind in passing.
October 1st already, she's been travelling since the 15th of September, such a long time in reality.
The trip so far has been quite fascinating, Felicity thinks.
The amazing things she's seen and sees on a day to day basis.
Felicity's already come in contact with dolphins and whales.
Felicity has always been fascinated with marine life and animals, ever since she was a child.
When she was younger, Donna used to take Felicity to every aquarium that was around, especially on school holidays.
Felicity's always been spellbound by all the different shapes, sizes and colours of different sea animals.
Felicity couldn't help the smile that appears on her face, as she lies on the Egyptian cotton sheets.
As a child, Felicity desperately wanted to be a mermaid. Not the most realistic of dreams, is it?
Felicity closes her eyes, hearing and feeling the waves crashing against the side of the Queen's Gambit.
The expedition has been amazing so far, Felicity brings up.
They've learnt so much about absolutely everything, from sea animals to ways that Queen Consolidated could use water as a way to help with expenses within and outside of the company.
Felicity must admit, Robert is a genius. The amount of things you could learn from that man is extraordinary. Robert is an extremely quiet man, but the knowledge he has in his head, there's only one word for him… amazing.
Felicity has been chatting to quite a few of the crew on the Queen's Gambit lately. They're all very friendly. Most of them have families; she even got to see a few pictures.
Felicity's always loved kids; kids bring a lot of joy to the world. But, that's just the type of person Felicity is. She has a huge heart, and has the ability to care for so many people, no matter what their flaws are.
It is definitely strange to be one of the only females on board the Queen's Gambit. Too much testosterone, Felicity says silently to herself, letting a chuckle escape her lips.
Felicity's current mood? Well, that is easy. Felicity feels so horny. She's craving Oliver; she's craving his touch, his lips, and his… cock inside her.
A groan escapes Felicity's bare mouth; she hopes no one has heard her.
Felicity clamps her hand over her mouth, hoping no other sounds escape her. She can't exactly masturbate here, can she? It would be too… awkward.
Felicity's hands slides down her light denim jeans, moving towards her backside and into her back pocket.
Felicity pulls some small photos out of her back pocket. She always tends to keep them in there. It somewhat feels like the people that are featured in these photos are with her, even though they are quite far away.
Felicity's eyes scan through the five small photos she keeps in her back pockets. She's always loved these photos. Her eyes tear up slightly just looking at them. She misses everything about home.
She misses her sister from another mister in Thea.
She misses her fiancée in Oliver.
She misses her future mother in-law in Moira.
The first photo is one that she'll always cherish.
It is of her and Oliver relaxing in their bed together. They both look so incredibly happy together.
Felicity can't wait to marry him.
The second photo is of Thea and Oliver.
Their relationship is so unique, Felicity thinks.
They may argue on occasion, but both of them would do anything for each other.
A lot of families are either close or distant.
The Queen Family is a magical mixture of both.
The third photo is of Moira and Robert.
They look so happy in this picture.
Robert's hand is resting on the bottom of Moira's torso, and Moira's hand is resting lightly on Robert's arm in an intimate gesture.
When Oliver and Felicity first began to date and it was starting to get serious, Felicity had met Oliver's parents.
To begin with, their relationship seemed a match-made in business Heaven; she never thought that their relationship was all that genuine.
But the more Felicity got to know both Moira and Robert, the more she realized how in-love they are with each other.
Felicity's mind couldn't help but wander to what her future with Oliver would look like.
Would they divorce?
Would they have children?
Would they grow old together?
There are always so many questions running through her mind.
The forth picture is of Raisa, Tommy and Oliver.
Felicity loves this picture too.
Tommy is extremely photogenic. He's such a cheeky chappie, but he's as sweet as can be.
Tommy has a cover, but beneath all of his false bravado and cover stories, he's actually a very sweet guy.
Tommy had welcomed her to the family with open arms. He had been so sweet to her, and made sure that she was always comfortable.
He is one of the only people that can handle the Queen family well. He knows how to duck questions and make the conversation flow easily.
Oliver and Tommy are as thick as thieves; they've always been like that, apparently, according to Raisa.
Raisa is like another mother to everyone around the Queen mansion. She cooks, she cleans and she's just amazing to talk to. Raisa isn't just another worker, she's an amazing personality, such a unique person, Felicity says to herself.
The final picture is of her mother, just her mother.
Donna Smoak, what does one say about Donna Smoak?
Donna is another universe in herself. If you think Raisa is unique, Donna is something else.
Felicity loves her mother, even though they rarely see eye-to-eye.
Donna is the epitome of a feminine woman, Felicity is feminine, but she likes being comfortable and unique.
Donna is an amazing mother. Throughout Felicity's childhood, Donna struggled for money, especially after Felicity's dad left them high and dry. So, Donna took many odd jobs just to provide for her daughter and make sure she had anything she needed. Donna wanted her daughter to have everything she didn't have. Felicity's mother wanted to make sure Felicity succeeded.
Donna adores Oliver, and I mean adores.
Oliver and Felicity's mother get along so well. They share one big thing in common, and that's Felicity.
Both people want to make sure that their fiancée and their daughter has everything she could ever want.
Felicity adores both of them so much for everything they have done for her.
Oliver has made her incredibly happy, and Donna, even though the Queen family is rich, she insists on putting some money in for the wedding.
Felicity is starting to lose the feeling in her feet, so she decides to get up and survey the deck of the ship… not that she's of much use of course.
Maybe Robert needs some help with something?
Felicity shuffles off of the way-too-comfy bed sheets, going to the edge of the bed. She grabs her shoes and shoves them on her worn out feet.
Felicity opens the door of her bedroom and glides out into the hallway, hearing some distant shouting.
Felicity's brow furrows, confused as to what is going on. She quickly brushes it off and makes her way to the deck.
The crew are scattered everywhere, a few smiling and laughing, others staring off into the distant.
Felicity feels awkward amongst the men, so she decides to go and visit Robert.
She quickly makes her way to Robert's office on the second floor; she knocks lightly on the thin wooden door… no reply. Felicity knocks several more times before deciding to head back to her bedroom.
She's never been more bored than she is right now. This is where a cuddling partner comes in handy, she thinks to herself.
Felicity shuts the thin wooden door to her bedroom before flopping down onto her bed. At least the sheets are comfy, she believes.
Felicity's eyes slowly shut, as the sun disappears under the horizon.
Shouting and screeching awakes Felicity, but she doesn't take much notice at first. Felicity blinks away the sleep in her eyes. She just assumes the crew might have gotten drunk again, and are a little too happy.
Felicity's ears perk up, trying to pick up on any details that may be needed… for future reference, in other words, blackmail.
The sea appears to be extremely rough. The ship feels as if it's being tossed side to side, and not in the good way. She begins to feel nauseous and a bit green around-the-gills.
Felicity glances down at the clothes she fell asleep in, they're a bit wrinkled, but not too bad.
Felicity sits on the bed for several minutes, zoning out for a little while, still not quite awake… at least not enough to respond.
She goes around to her bedside drawer, grabbing a book that looks somewhat okay.
Felicity used to like reading, but lately, she's gone off of it, mainly because she never seemed to have the time.
Felicity feels the thick pages of this book, smelling the old-styled paper, taking in every detail of the book: from the cover, to the binding and the illustrations.
She flicks to the first page, her eyes scanning the lines as she begins to read.
All of a sudden, the electricity burns off, the waves seem rougher and she can smell salt in the air.
Felicity is more confused than ever at the sudden turn of events.
The shouting outside seems to get louder, but she can't hear it. Everything has gone silent and numb, almost like everything is in slow motion.
Felicity hears something cracking below her feet. She glances down below her, seeing the material of the bottom of the ship start to crack.
It's then that she realizes that she's directly above the sea; she's in the line of fire.
Felicity's heart is beating rapidly, to the point of it actually hurting.
Felicity's body sinks into the cracks of the ship, she can feel the coldness of the water, she is smacked in the face with the smell of the salt water, and she can hear people shouting in the distance.
Felicity's body spins past the propellers, just missing her by a fraction, as she is expelled from the Queen's Gambit.
Her head is surrounded by water, and she's not quite sure where 'up' is.
Everything is dark and cold, and it feels like she's going to die.
Felicity can see the Queen's Gambit sinking below the surface of her the water, which gives her an inkling of where 'up' actually is.
Felicity swims for her life, swimming in what she thinks is up. Her head rises above the surface, she blinks to get rid of the excess water.
She's so confused, as water from above rains on her. A storm, she thinks. She should've known. In some strange way, she should've known. Felicity wishes she had never got on the Queen's Gambit.
"Somebody… please… help me!" she shouts a few times. Her voice cracking as she tries to adjust. Her breaths are coming in pants, she's exhausted.
God, she just wants to shut her eyes and go to sleep. But, she knows she can't. She has to stay awake… for Oliver, for her family and for everyone who loves her.
"Felicity… Felicity… Over here," the voice of Robert Queen shouts, as Felicity spots him.
Robert and Tony are sitting side-by-side in the lift raft that was located at the back of the Queen's Gambit, before it had sunk.
The raft drifts closer to her, Robert's hand searches for her, Tony's too. She grabs on for dear life, as they pull her into life raft.
Robert stares at Felicity for a moment, checking for any injuries, he seems to be glad to see none.
He pulls Felicity to him, making her huddle into his side, as he whispered words of comfort into her ear.
Tony seemed frozen and in shock, not quite knowing what to say. Then again, nothing needed to be said. She never thought this could happen, but it did.
"It'll be okay Felicity, you'll get out of here," Robert whispers in her ear, rubbing her right shoulder. Felicity nods gently against his chest, as her eyes gently close once again, the events of the day finally catching up to her.
She doesn't think she's ever slept this much in her entire lifetime. She truly is exhausted.
Her stomach curls, thinking about what could possibly happen next.
She drifts into unconsciousness, as the waves drift her into a peaceful world.
