Hi Everyone! I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to all those who read and reviewed this story. It was meant to be just a oneshot however so many have asked for more that i decided to write more. I have a whole story planned out, not sure on chapters yet, i waited till now to write and post the 2nd chapter because i wanted to plan out the story, im hoping to post a chapter almost everyday till im finished (im making it sound like its going to be a reallllly long story, dont worry its not). I want to say a special thanks to Karicatura, southrnbygrace, sadmadam, greyarea0708, Caffreylicious, jimi18, Lily M.85, IaMcHrIsSi, GoChlollie, bjq and the two guests who reviewed. You dont understand how much you guys make my day! This chapter is a little shorter than the first purely because i wanted to finish it there.
As Oliver made his way to Felicity's apartment all he could think about was that kiss, had she meant it as a thank you? Or was it meant as a thank you and more? She hadn't given him the time to actually respond to the kiss let alone ask her why she had kissed him. Before he knew it he was at her door.
He put his fist up to knock, but stopped himself, could I really do this? He thought if she says yes, if she becomes my partner what then? Her life in danger every time we go after someone, could I really do that? And what if she says no? Where does that leave us? What about the kiss?
Oliver must have stood there for five minutes before he said "I can't do this" and started to walk away, again he stopped himself before he had gotten half way towards to stairs. Before he could change his mind again he ran to her door and knocked his fist against the hard wood.
"Coming" a voice from inside had replied, Oliver stood there waiting suddenly finding his shoes very interesting. He looked up when the door opened and what he found there took his breathe away, Felicity was stood at the door in nothing but a towel, he hair still dripping wet.
"Oliver!" Felicity said shocked, her cheek flushing bright red when she realised she was still only in a towel, and after the kiss earlier it probably wasn't the wisest of choices. "Sorry, I thought you were a friend of mine, she's a doctor, she's coming round to check the wound for me" Oliver just stood there and nodded still openly staring at her.
"Erm… do you want to come in?" Felicity asked. That seemed to snap Oliver out of it; he looked into her apartment and replied
"Yeah, thanks"
He walked in and she closed the door behind him, "I'm just gonna go put some clothes on, make yourself at home"
Oliver looked around the small apartment, he smiled slightly at himself, it was almost completely what he had expected, colourful just like her, but with hidden dangers like the pair of Malaysian sai knives displayed on the wall of her kitchen.
Before he could look any more Felicity was back, dressed in a tank and sweats again, she had tied her wet hair up and out of her face. "How is the wound?" Asked Oliver
"It's not too bad, I asked my friend to look at it just in case, don't worry I have a cover story ready" She said seeing the look on Oliver's face, then they stood there quietly just looking at each other. "Was there something you needed" Felicity asked after Olive still did not speak.
"Erm yeah" Oliver said, he stood there again in silence not sure exactly what to say, how do you ask someone to be your sidekick! Even the thought made him laugh out loud.
"What's so funny?"
"Look Felicity, I know that you don't agree with some of the things I do, but I do them because I believe that I am keeping this city safe. I do them to make sure that when I'm long gone this city and its people will still live on. There is so much corruption here, corruption that you can't see. It's a poison killing this city from within; I do what I do because I know that there are people here who are worth saving. But I can't do it alone, with everything I've done, people are starting to notice, and that includes the bad guys. They are using more and more protection; I am walking into places with more and more guys in there to stop me before I can do my job. But that would stop being so much of an issue if I had someone else by my side, in the field with me, someone I trusted 100% who I knew had my back… always" Oliver finished and looked up at Felicity, he knew that she knew he meant her, he was waiting to see her reaction to his speech.
"Oliver you know the only reason I got involved in all this was because I wanted to find Walter that was the only reason"
"I know, I just… I don't know, since you came on board I haven't killed anyone, not that I intentionally try to anyway. I just thought maybe instead of completely following my father's mission, that you and dig were right, maybe I should really start helping others in this city."
"I think that's a great idea, but I can't be your sidekick, I mean it's a silly notion" Felicity said looking at Oliver
"Is it? Is it really that silly? This morning you fired my bow at a moving object you only lay your eyes on less than a millisecond before you had to fire" You are more than proficient with a bow, everything else I can teach you"
Felicity looked around the room, attempting to look anywhere but at Oliver, she was completely and utterly tempted to say yes, and it scared the crap out of her.
Oliver slowly walked over and took her face in his hands "I've asked you to do this because I trust you 100% because I know that that brain of yours is defiantly worth having by my side and because I would use any excuse to spend as much time with you as possible"
Felicity looked up at him in shock but she didn't have time to react as before she could Oliver's lips came crashing down onto her and for a second the whole world stopped. The only things that existed were her and Oliver, no hood, no Queen Consolidated, no anything other than this moment. The kiss wasn't like last time, this time they both threw every feeling, every need, everything they had behind the kiss.
They parted gasping for air; Felicity looked straight up into Oliver's face and said "Why did you just do that?"
Oliver replied "Because you didn't give me a chance to respond last time"
Felicity reached up and kissed him again, leaning her body into his, by this time Oliver had his hands on her body, running them upwards before…
"Ouch" Felicity bent over clutching her wound
"Oh god Felicity I'm so sorry I completely forgot" Oliver said kneeling down to inspect the wound, he lifted her top slightly and checked, he had not caused a rebleed.
"Oliver?" She said as he was still on his knees "What am I to you? I mean am I your tech girl? Your wannabe sidekick, a bit of fun? What?"
"Well" Oliver said standing up, "I was coming here to ask you to me my sidekick…" Felicity's face fell, it was her time to find Oliver's shoes exceptionally interesting "And also if maybe you would like to date me?"
Felicity looked up sharply at Oliver, "The great player Oliver Queen wants to date the geeky tech girl?" She asked.
"You know me better than that!" Oliver said
"I do" She replied "and I'm blessed for it" she smiled up at him, and said "Yes, I'll do it"
Oliver looked confused before saying "Which bit? The sidekick or the date me?"
Felicity stood on her tiptoes and softly kissed him on the lips before sliding her face towards his ear, she stopped just as her lips touched his ear lobe and whispered "Both" Oliver pulled back, looked at her and smiled before kissing her again. She pulled back before reply "Under one condition"
"Name it" Oliver said
"I get to wear a mask" She smiled.
