I pull the bundle of warmth closer to me, my arm tightening around it to keep it pressed into my body. I haven't felt this warm and content since before the island. The most amazing scent surrounds me as well; vanilla and Lillie and something distinctly…. Felicity.
I smile and nuzzle into her soft hair, inhaling deeply. A content sigh leaves my lips as I try to pull her even closer to me. I finally force my eyes open and gaze down at the beauty that is curled into my chest. Her hair spills over her shoulder and covers part of her face, shining gold as the sun streams through a gap in her curtains. Her lips are parted slightly and her warm breath skips across my chest and neck.
I raise one of my hands and tuck a lock of hair behind her ear as she snuggles further into me. She sighs happily and her hand comes up to rest on my chest. She squeezes her eyes tight as the sun dances over her face. Her blue eyes open and she tilts her head up to look at me, a smile gracing her face.
"Morning." Her voice is thick from sleep and I can't help but smile as I reply.
"Morning Miss Smoak. How are we this morning?"
"Good. It's nice waking up like this." I chuckle slightly.
"Hopefully this won't be the last time." She beams at me, her eyes shining in happiness and I can't help but lean down to steal a kiss. She giggles and buries her head into my neck, her breath warm against it. I lean my head onto hers and she lets out a content sigh.
"I wish we could stay like this forever." She whispers into me and I sigh gently.
"Me too." I reply then continue in a posh voice. "But the day is calling and we must respond, my dear Felicity."
She giggles once again and leans up to peck my lips before disentangling herself from me and sliding out of her bed, walking into her on-suite bathroom. I sigh dramatically before calling out to her.
"You're really just going to kiss me and leave me? I never took you for that kind of woman Felicity!"
I hear her laugh before she re-emerges as I leave the bed. I quickly cross the room to her, wrapping her in my arms as I lean my forehead against hers.
"Decided to come back? Am I just too irresistible?" I smile at her as she laughs once again before replying.
"I think you'll find that I'm the irresistible one!" Her voice is soft and light-hearted as she wraps her arms around my neck, a cheeky glint in her eyes.
"Oh but how true you are." I peck her lips before she pulls away from my embrace with a grin.
"Want some breakfast? I don't have much but there's a café about five minutes from here we could go to." In all honesty, I'd rather stay here all day and cuddle with her but we will have to make an appearance into the outside world at some point and my hunger is starting to make itself known as my stomach grumbles loudly and Felicity lets out a gorgeous laugh. God she's so amazing.
"I'll take that as a yes. Just give me a minute to get dressed."
We sit across from each other in a private booth in the café. It's small but comfortable and it's nice to see Felicity so relaxed as she picks apart her banana muffin. We've already been sat here for about twenty minutes just sipping coffee and talking. It's nice to do something normal, nice to have a normal relationship. Though, are we even in a relationship? We haven't discussed it but from recent events it seems like we are. But, then again, haven't people been thinking that we've been in a relationship for a while? What are we?
"Hey, where'd you go? What you thinking Oliver?" I look up at her to see concern spread across her face.
"Sorry." I mumble. "I was just wondering…..what are we Felicity?" She raises her eyebrows at me, confusion etched on her face.
"What do you mean Oliver?"
"What are we Felicity? Are we just friends or are we in a relationship?" She blushes and looks down at the table before answering.
"I know what I want us to be but what do you want us to be?" I feel a small smile tug on the corners of my lips as I watch her but she refuses to meet my eye.
"I thought last night would of shown you what I wanted."
She snaps her head up, her blue eyes locking on mine as a wide smile lights up her face. I smile back and reach across the table to take her hand in mine, they meld together perfectly. After everything I've denied between us, I refuse to let anything else get in our way. I know now that I can be both, the Arrow and Oliver Queen but, whoever I am, I will always have Felicity Smoak by my side and nothing makes me happier.
