I haven't entered this building since that night; the night I walked in on Ray Palmer kissing my Felicity. That was probably one of the most emotionally painful nights I've ever experienced. It's bad enough that he bought Queen Consolidated but then he went and kissed Felicity. I have plenty of reasons to hate that man.

I'm in the elevator now, of course I already know where her office is. She doesn't know I'm coming though. Without a daytime job, I was bored and I missed her so I decided that it was the perfect day for a lunch date. The elevator dings and I step out, quickly making my way over to her office where I can see her sitting at her desk. I don't knock, I never have so why start now? She looks up when she hears me and a surprised gasp leaves her pink painted lips before they turn up into a wide grin.

"What are you doing here?" She leaves her chair and crosses the room, meeting me halfway. I rest my hands on his waist and lean my forehead against hers.

"Not even a hello? I came to take you to lunch, if you want to that is." She pecks my lips and smiles brightly at me.

"Hello. Of course I want to go to lunch with you. Just give me a minute to grab my stuff." She heads towards her desk and begins placing her stuff in it.

"I'll wait for you by the elevator." I leave her office and lean against the elevator, watching her quickly gather her stuff. She's ready to leave when Ray Palmer himself enters. He smiles at her and stands way to close; jealousy immediately makes its presence known. I watch as Felicity takes a step back from him, putting distance between them that he can't help but close. Just like the jealousy, I feel it's time to make my presence known to him. I enter the office and call over to her:

"Ready to go Felicity?" Ray quickly turns round and Felicity shoots a grateful smile at me before approaching me. As soon as she's next to me, I wrap my arms around her waist and connect my lips with hers. She wraps her arms round my next and pulls me closer to her and I smirk against her lips, a move she repeats. We pull apart and I pull her body closer into mine, leaning down to whisper in her ear:

"I think we've shown him you're taken. Should we go have that lunch now because I'm starved?" She giggles and takes my hand in hers, pulling me towards the elevator, calling to Ray over her shoulder.

"We're going to lunch, I'll be back by one."

We enter the elevator and as soon as the door closes we look at each other and start laughing.

We sit across from each other at Big Belly Burger, our hands intertwined across the table. After five years on that hellish island and then coming home and taking up the job of being Starling City's vigilante, I've forgotten what it's like to be normal. I've always been three people; Oliver Queen, brother and son, Oliver Queen CEO and then the Arrow. All of these people are parts of me but they aren't really me. Felicity sees all these parts of me but she also sees the light still inside me. She sees past all my acts, she can read me like a book. There is nothing I can hide from her; I never have been able to lie to her –when I told her that I loved her to trick Slade, I wasn't lying, I could never lie about that- and she sees all of me, the real me.

It's nice to be able to just have a nice lunch like a normal couple. This is something I thought was impossible since my return from the island. But it's not just lunch, it's all the small things. Sitting on the couch and cuddling whilst watching a film, waking up in the morning and watching her sleep, a peck on the lips just because we feel like it. They're all things I thought we're impossible but Felicity has shown me I was wrong.

I owe a lot to her though. Throughout everything she has always been with me. From the beginning when I bought her a bullet ridden laptop, equipped with the worst lie in existence, and she stayed with me when I laid in the back of her Mini, bleeding onto her seat, even after all the things I've said to her, she's stayed with me. I don't deserve her but I have her and I can't be anymore grateful. She truly is the most amazing person in the world.

I stand and pull her out of the booth by her hand, wrapping my arm round her waist as we prepared to walk to her car. I lean down to her, capturing her lips in mine before whispering:

"I love you." Her smile lights up her face as she leans in to hug me.

"I love you too."
