Thanks for the reviews on this one, I'm glad to see there is some Tomcity love out there! Obviously I want the friendship of Oliver and Felicity to remain but there may be a few wobbles along the way!
As always please review, that way I know if I'm heading in the right direction (: Much Love! K x
It was a short walk from Verdant to Felicity's apartment, most of it was spent with Felicity talking to Tommy about her day, her worth ethic was something to be admired, he didn't know how she managed to do all what she did in a day plus adding on her extra curricular activities which he was less than keen about with Oliver. Tommy didn't understand how he could of even allowed Felicity into his "gang" or what ever he liked to cause it, not only would it endanger her it completely swamped her with work. Of course he never mentioned this to Felicity as he couldn't bare the look of disapproval she had given him once before after he bought it up, the look of hurt stayed even more in his memory after he expressed his criticism over Oliver 's antics and what a fool he was, he clearly overstepped the mark then. Felicity always saw the best in everyone, but she must of had to dig pretty deep to see Oliver's goods.
Arriving at Felicity's she immediately apologized before allowing Tommy to walk through the door "Right ok, It's so not gonna be your thing or what your expecting... Probably a little cluttered for you but then again you have a massive house and my place is only tiny!" she smiled nervously before pushing the door back "Felicity calm down!" he laughed, she toed off her heels as she walked in immediately shrinking at least three inches which made him smirk "So my Smoak is a shortie..." he teased copying her as he took off his shoes before closing the door behind him "Yeah I'm so not blessed with long legs or looks for even that matter..." she rolled her eyes before shaking her head, before Tommy had the chance to disagree with her she spoke again "Ok ... I'm gonna go change, glasses on on the shelf in the kitchen just through there and the menu's will be on the fridge under neath my Doctor Who magnet! Make yourself at home!" she smiled brightly before bouncing off to her room. Tommy stood in the same position as his brain digested all the information she had just given him in what seemed like one breath, regaining his thoughts he carried the bottles he bought from the club through to the kitchen, his eyes scanned the bright red tiled kitchen for where she mentioned the glasses were. Deciding upon wine first of all he took the two wine glasses and placed them to one side with the bottle of Rose' he bought before placing the others in her fridge. Soon closing the fridge door he noticed her TARDIS shaped magnet which was holding down a couple of take away menu's 'Typical Felicity!' he thought, certainly a unique and special lady. Walking through to the living room he placed everything down on the table as he curiously looked around. Her placed was filled with family photo's and shelves with various books on and plenty of dvd's, she could so give blockbuster a run for their money "Everything ok?" Felicity asked walking back through now more casually dressed in a pair of her boyfriend style jeans and white t shirt, her hair was now flowing down her shoulders elegantly and her glasses still gone from her face
"Yeah I'm good..." Tommy smiled as soon as she got his attention, he had never seen her so casual before, he had only seen her in what he called Secretary mode or night out and the only couple of occasions that was not for her own benefit but for Oliver's which irritated him "Looking good Smoak... Found the menu's and loving the magnet... In fact you have quite a few!" he chuckled sitting himself down on the sofa waiting for her to join him "Yeah there bits I've either bought in the quirky little shops or been given as gifts. People know me so well!" she chuckled picking up the menu's, her eyes narrowed as she thought about which one she preferred "Uh oh thinky face... Dangerous!" Tommy joked as his eyes never teared away from her "Pizza or Chinese?" was her simply response holding the menu's up as she sat beside him "Chinese! I'l have what your having..." Tommy nodded as he leant over to pick up the bottle "I'l order... And make mine a large one!" Felicity winked as she started dialing the number to order "Mhmmm like the large ones? Good to know..." Tommy smirked raising an eyebrow looking up to her to see her reaction "Shut up!" she mouthed as someone the other end answered the phone, she couldn't help but smile though.
Pouring two gasses out for them both, Tommy soon relaxed back on the comfortable sofa admiring his surroundings, he had never been in a place which seemed so homely, his placed he had when he was back home with his father was way to big for just the two of them, well for any of them if he had to admit it. It was only when he moved out into a City flat where he had the occasional photo up Felicity's place felt lived in, like someone belonged. His eyes soon diverted to the blonde who was smiling as she spoke, she seemed so natural here, not having to put on any front for anyone, not work, not Oliver and not even him. Watching her walk back over she hung up the phone placing it on the table "Be about half hour... This for me?" Felicity grinned spying the glass of wine on the table, she picked it up taking a large sip from it as she sat back "Ahhh... So needed this like all day!" she sighed closing her eyes for a moment before re opening them "So come on ... Apart from the obvious, how has your day been?" she asked turning her attention to him, allowing him to speak Felicity was the attentive host in her own home laughing at a few comments he was making about some of the women who he came across at the club the night before, Tommy was a great looking guy and she could so see why women would hit on him "So she actually groped you?! Oh my god, some people have like no morals I mean I couldn't imagine doing that in public... Just screams out tramp!" she laughed taking a sip of her drink as she turned to face him properly sitting on her side "But you like groping in general!" he teased knowing full well it would lead on to one of her nervous rambles, even though it was cruel to make her feel nervous it always spread a smile on his face and Felicity knew full well it did, fortunately for her though it was saved by the bell "Oooh Food!" she jumped up quickly, she finished up her glass as she walked over "Na huh... I'l get this, get us both a refill! No arguing either!" he pointed to her as he raced passed her to the door.
Stopping Felicity placed her hands on her hips as he answered the door, she turned on her heels to pour out two more glasses.
An hour later when all traces of Chinese food were gone they we now through their second bottle of wine with the bottle of Jack Daniels on the table, "Felicity your worse than me... Stop eyeing up the bottle! You haven't finished that one yet!" he laughed, tilting his head as he watched her "You know I have never seen this side of you, a relaxed, chilled out and happier Felicity! I like it!" Tommy smiled as his arm rested over the back of the sofa now sitting slightly closer to her "Well I guess I have learnt how to let things go over my head and to be fair I don't get much me time so your lucky! I pulled a sicky to be here with you tonight so be thankful!" she prodded his chest as she spoke noticing the shift in distance between them "I am thankful for that Fliss I really am... Maybe your boss should give you time off of an evening so you can let your hair down!" Felicity looked up to him shaking her head before looking down remembering her god dam awful day "God sorry... We shouldn't speak about it ... Him I mean or her for that matter, we shouldn't speak about none of it! Buuuut how about a game? A drinking game so I know I an whip your ass Miss Smoak!" Tommy sat himself up before walking through to the kitchen, Felicity raised an eyebrow pulling her legs up to her chest smiling as he tried to divert both their attention once more "Tommy?! Tommy what you doing?" she called out waiting for him to come back wondering what he was up too, when he did he had the bottle of vodka and sours shots under one arm with some short glasses "Ta Daaaah! Now... I know a few drinking games but usually there are more than two people but I know one we can do, it works like this One player holds the cards and the other player guesses red or black. If the guesser is correct then the person holding the cards drink, if the guesser is wrong then they drink... You got cards?" he asked looking to Felicity who was going over what he said in her head "Uhhh yeah it's all probability though right you do know this..?" she laughed slightly as she got up to fetch the deck from her drawer "No formula Fliss... Just guess! Let your brain rest for once!" he smirked as she handed the cards to him, As Tommy shuffled the cards Felicity poured out some shots in the 6 glasses that were in front of them, half hour later and half way down a bottle of Sourz Tommy was laughing hysterically as a tipsy Felicity who was shaking her head "Nah huh... A joker is multi colored.. has gold in it too so you have to drink that one not me... !" she stated with a cheeky smile, she leant closer to whisper in his ear "There special!" Felicity nodded biting on her lower lip before she sat back "Go on you! You you you! Down it down it!" she chanted practically sitting on his lap "You trying to get me drunk Miss Smoak? Just so you can get your wicked way with me..." he winked as his arm slipped round her waist
"Oh Tommy... If I wanted my way with you I would of so done it by now..." she teased, with the alcohol in her system it seemed to give her a new lease of confidence, with that she trailed her finger down his chest keeping her eyes firmly on him, she knew she was teasing but it was fun something she had always wanted to try out on guys she found attractive, her finger made her way up his chest with Tommy's eyes following the movement not saying a word until she stopped at the top of his shirt which had a few buttons undone "You think?" he stuttered out quietly his eyes drawn back to her, Felicity nodded in reply "Uh huh! Now I think a deal breaker... If you guess the next one correct not only do I have to do a shot but you get to kiss me..." The words from her mouth left him speech less, he looked up to her with a smirk on his lips 'I like playful Felicity, I like her allot'
"Challenge accepted Smoak" he smirked feeling confident, he wondered if he guessed right whether she would back down on her preposition, but judging by the mood she was now in there was no chance of that, she shifted off his lap preparing a shot, Tommy shuffled closer as he raised his hand hovering over the deck of cards, Felicity turned to face him, her lips just a fraction away from hisear "Black or Red baby..." she whispered with her lips tracing over his ear and along his jaw line "Black..." he breathed out before he lifted it up showing the card to her without looking himself, with a smirk on her lips she leant in closer tilting her head so her lips were in line with his just inches away now 'I'm good... This is gonna be so good' Tommy thought over in his head.
"Ten of Hearts... Shame!" Felicity smirked pressing her fingers to his lips "Maybe next time!" she winked sitting her self back against the sofa leaving Tommy hanging.
Tease.
Please review (:
