It started with a mistletoe
Christmas was fast approaching and thus the annual Christmas Ball. Oliver was determined to ask Felicity to go there together with him. the last attempts had failed, either because he was interrupted before he could ask or he had chickened out. but today he would do it. today he would take all his courage and ask her. He saw her sitting at her usual table and walked over. Felicity looked up from her laptop. "WillyougowithmetotheChristmasBall," Oliver blurted. Felicity looked at him with a questioning look. "Could you say that again?" Oliver took a deep breath through his nose. "Would you accompany me to the Christmas Ball?" "I don't want to read much into this. but are you asking me out an date? like a date date?" "The implication with accompany...""Normally I'm the one talking in sentence fragments.""Felicity, would you like to be my date to the christmas ball?"She nodded delighted. Oliver sighed with relief. "Great," He could not stop beaming, neither could she. "Felicity, you coming?" Sara shouted from afar. She kissed him on the cheek „see you later „, and walked away. if she would have turned around she would have seen him starring after her with a dreamy expression and his fingers touching his cheek.
Oliver was nervous like never before in his life. hesitantly, he knocked at the front door. The door opened and an elderly woman stood before him. "You must be Mrs. Smoak" He held out his hand. They, however, went into a tight hug. "and you have to be Oliver." She held him at arm's length distance, her hands still on his shoulder. She studied him thoroughly. "My goodness, felicity, you have not told me that he's so handsome." "MOM" Felicity came running down the stairs, with her red and black 13 inches stilettos which were open at the front. Oliver's mouth dropped open.
Felicity wore a strapless burgundy gown. on the ruffled fabric of the corset, there was a line of sparkling stones just below the breast. Her skirt was floor length and made of tulle. Like the last time her hair was open and her blond locks flowed over her shoulders. She wore lipstick in the same shade as her dress and amount her make-up had increased, but it pronounced her beautiful face She looked incredible. Gorgeous didn't cover it. something flashed. Oliver blinked and searched irritated after the cause. Mrs. Smoak was holding a camera in her hands. "For your future children," she winked at him. "MOM" Felicity exclaimed shocked. "So you next to one another, I need photographic evidence for my colleagues," ordered Mrs. Smoak. "One moment, need to put the shoes on" Felicity clung to Oliver's shoulder and slipped into her stilettos. She straightened up and Oliver pulled her at her waist against his side. Both posed for a handful pictures before they were dismissed by Donna as she told him to call her otherwise she felt too old. Oliver helped her into her coat, then leaned down to her ear. "You look beautiful" on Felicity's face showed a delicate blush. "Thanks," she took in his appearances . Oliver was wearing a dark gray three-piece suit, with black shirt beneath and a deep red tie. "How?" Felicity asked in surprise pointing at the tie. He fiddled nervously with his tie. "I asked Sara for the color of your dress. I hope that was okay" She beamed "More than okay" Oliver's shoulders sunk in relief and he offered her his arm, grinning. "Your carriage awaits madam" he led her to his silver Mercedes.
"Ollie, Lis" Oliver and Felicity had just entered the grand ballroom, as Thea ambushed at them. Thea's dress was white, reached down to her knees; and was just like Felicity's without straps. Around her waist, a fine black vine pattern was embroidered and she wore black strappy sandals. She spun for Felicity in a circle and asked: "Do you like it? I designed it myself" Felicity gave Thea a critical once-over before she broke out in a smile. "It looks great, Thea" Oliver chuckled. "You have once again surpassed yourself. So where are Mom and Dad?" Thea frowned. "Just mom, dad had an important business meeting that could not be delayed" Thea looked disappointed, Felicity linked arms with her. "So How about? You show us where we sit. Because I'm starving. I had eaten nothing from nervousness all day. and then you tell me all about your self-designed clothes. "thea threw herself into descriptions of all her previously-made clothing items and even told her of her ideas. As Oliver walked after the two, it became quite warm around his heart
Moira Queen was just as cold-hearted as the press described her. In its silvery-gray dress, styled to perfection she seemed truly like the ice queen. . Felicity could find no spark in her eyes. Whether it was because of her, the fact that her husband preferring to spend his evening with his mistress, just an assumption, or Moira Queen was born this way had yet to be determined. Felicity had repeatedly tried to engage conversation Moira in a, however, received only snappy and snide answers. at one point Thea had leaned over to Felicity and whispered in her ear. "Mom's still mad at Ollie because of the thing with laurel . laurel was for her the perfect daughter in law. but do not worry. You have my seal of approval."
"It's nice to see you again, sir," "Likewise, kid" Quentin Lance said warmly. He wore his formal garb for the occasion. Besides Felicity Sara stood in a white knee-length dress, which only had a wide strap; which at her hip in a kind of bow combined was. But Sara was apparently mentally absent because she stared hard at the crowd. "Sara, are you okay?" Sara appeared to have spotted something and hurried away. "I'm back the same," she called over her shoulder "You look smoking, Smoaky"Tommy slide in Sara's space. "my, don't you look dashing, Mr. Merlyn"Tommy wore a black suit, white shirt and a red bow tie with Christmas trees on it. "Matching the holiday," he said with a grin. "So where is Oliver? I thought with your look he wouldn't leave your side. "" The Ice Queen has him in her claws ""Isabel?" Asked Tommy. "No his mother. Isabel is the demon queen." she was a demon, this Isabel. she tried to make Felicity's life hell. Isabel never missed a opportunity to make Felicity feel bad Felicity. But was friends with Oliver since Felicity, Isabel's viciousness had just bounced off of Felicity. Nevertheless, the mere mention of her name brought to boil Felicity's blood. Fortunately tonight they hadn't get to se the evil till now, but that was unfortunately only a matter of time.
Oliver was just looking for Felicity, when he spotted Laurel. He sighed. he should go over and apologize for his behavior towards her. he tried to scrape together all his courage, as she turned in his direction and noticed him. now or never. He walked up to her. "Hi. can we talk?" Laurel nodded stiffly and was led away by him away from unwanted listeners. "I listen" "I wanted to apologize to you, Laurel. As I treated you like shit. I was a smug ass, who was inclined only to his well-being, and for that I am truly sorry. I took you for granted, because you held me by my mother off my back. but I was so unhappy with my life. I didn't know other than to rebel in this manner, to get the attention of my parents. I'll feel guilty all my life, of what I did to you. I know it was wrong of me to. I hope you can forgive me one day. "" Thank you, Ollie, partly that's my fault. I had thought I could change you, but you didn't want to. not for me, anyway, but for her. "Oliver looked startled." I can tell she is different, so don't screw it up. it is something special. perhaps we can learn one day to be friends "" I'd really like that "She hugged him lightly." Take care, Oliver "She disappeared into the crowd. Oliver felt like as if an invisible burden had been lifted from his shoulders. he had officially closed this part of his life. now began a new phase, hopefully with Felicity. time his own happy ending to ensure.
Felicity sipped appreciatively on her punch, when she sensed a presence beside her. "What you had to do, so he took you here? spread your legs." Isabel Rochev as she lives and breathes stood beside her. She wore a red dress with a plunging neckline and a slit which reached her up to the thigh. one had to let her she knew how to dress. Felicity swallowed down her own insecurity. Oliver was here with her and that could not take that bitch from her. she grinned vicious. "Jealous? Because he pays no attention to you. suck it up, buttercup. He belongs to me and I don't intend to lose him." She grabbed Oliver's arm, who had just joined them and pulled him along with her to the dance floor.
They reached the middle of the dance floor. "Oh, I have not thought that through.", uttered Felicity. Oliver laughed. "Only you! Come here," Felicity hesitated. "but do not take me accountable when I'll step on your toes." "My toes can tolerate it." Oliver pulled Felicity to himself. He put her hand on his shoulder, his hand on her hip and took her other hand in his other. "Don't tell me I did not warn you later," whispered Felicity. "Follow my lead." He whispered back. they swayed gently with the music. In the background they heard 'Heart by heart' from Demi Loveta. "I love this song," said Felicity softly. "Why?" "It's about soulmates and how they change your life. This is something I would like one day" She had leaned back to look him in the eye. they exchanged a significant glance, "Let's get out of here." She could only nod. They were just beneath the archway, as Thea shouted "Stop mistletoe!" and pointed up. Both followed her finger and indeed a mistletoe hung over their heads. Felicity wanted to babble that they would not have to do this. However Oliver had already taken her face in his hands and pressed his lips gently to hers. Felicity froze, but after a moment she kissed him back. the kiss grew more passionate with the minute when Oliver gently nipped at her lips and his tongue explored her mouth. only when the oxygen ran out, they parted from one another. both were dizzy. "Wow" "Wow indeed" Oliver pulled her with him, away from their howling and cheering friends.
In the winter garden arrived Oliver pushed her to a bench. Felicity sat down gratefully. Her legs felt like Jell-O. Oliver reached into his pocket and pulled out a square box. "For you," he handed her the box. Felicity looked at him in surprise and took it. she opened his gift and was inside a beautiful silver bracelet with different pendants: A cell phone, a cone, a book, a butterfly and a lion sparkled towards her. Felicity was speechless. "And I hope after tonight I can add a mistletoe." "Why?" "Because each pendant has a special meaning in our relationship. The mobile phone was the first moment in which I have noticed you; the ice cream cone our first conversation, the book the beginning of our friendship, the butterfly was the moment in which I realized that I will always be on your side and the lion ... "He took a deep breath." .. was the moment in I've finally admitted my feelings for you to myself. "Felicity put the box next to her on the bench." And the mistletoe? "" would obviously be our first kiss "Oliver took Felicity's hands in his larger ones." which brings me to my question. Felicity Smoak, do you want to be my girlfriend? "Felicity threw herself into his arms." Yes, a thousand times yes "Oliver swung her around with delight. He set her down and lowered his lips onto hers as" Oliver wait. "He looked confused. she pointed to the box. He grinned, put the bracelet on her and pulled her close. Oliver and Felicity exchanged sweet kisses for the rest of the evening.
