"I don't want to talk right now, I am tired, and I don't want to fight. "Felicity told them. "We just want to talk to you, Felicity please." Oliver said to her. "And I told you I don't want to talk so please just let me walk back downstairs." She told them "Felicity please we need to talk. I need you to understand" Laurel said. "Why, why should I listen to the two of you? The two people who broke my brother's heart in the worst way possible. Please tell me why because in my eyes you two are the people are the reason he is dead. "She said to them. She knew it was a low blow, but she was tired and just wanted to go home and sleep. "And we are sorry for that. We are so sorry. Felicity you have to believe us. We never meant for it to happen it just did. I love Tommy, I love him. We were just vulnerable and it was familiar…" Laurel was starting to say before Felicity interrupted her. "No, No you do not get to talk to me about this. Talk about an act that was betrayal. My brother loved the both of you. Laurel he was planning on proposing to you, I know you know that. Oliver you were his best friend, he always stood up for you. Tommy was loyal to you. He even asked for your okay to date Laurel. "Felicity said with tears clogging her throat. "I'm done here. Now I'm going to go down stairs, and I am going to say goodbye to Thea, and I'm going to go home."
Felicity said while walking towards the door. She started to walk down the stairs with tears framing her flushed face. All she knew is that she just wanted to go visit Tommy's grave. In all the hurry to get down the stairs she tripped. She started to fall before she felt a hand wrap around her waist and haul her back towards a firm chest. She knew who it was. She had felt that chest so many times. Looked at it. Yearned to touch it. All you could hear was her breathing and his in the quite stair well. She tried to walk away, but his arm tightened against her waist. She could feel all of him. He was all around her. She felt his breath on her ear. "Felicity…" Oliver said breathless in her ear making her piercing vibrate. Felicity couldn't speak; she didn't know what to say. Too many emotions swirling around in her body. Oliver took her silence as a go ahead because the next thing she knew, he was banding both arms around her and bringing her closer to him. She felt Oliver breath in her neck, taking a big breath of her. She smelled of Coconut which was her smell no matter what she always smelled like that. It was refreshing to Oliver. "Felicity I..." He trailed of but before he could say anything more Felicity cut him off. "Thank you for saving me, but I can't do this.
Tell Thea I lover her and will talk to her latter." She told him while breaking out of his grasp and walking down the stairs to the parking lot. All she could think of was how she felt against him. His chest was firmer than she remembered. God she needed some ice cream and wine. Before she knew what she was doing she got into her car and went to her favorite pharmacy that was located in the glades. She knew she shouldn't be here at this time of night, but they had the best ice cream, and she couldn't resist. She got everything she needed, paid and started to walk towards her car. She was looking in her bag to grab the chocolate she just bought so she could eat it on the way home. Not noticing the men that were approaching her. "Hey pretty lady, what are you doing out here so late." One sneered at her making Felicity's breath catch.
"Want to play with us." Another one said while Felicity tried to walk away, but they grabbed her hand. Felicity just reacted punching the guy straight in the face. "YOU bitch. Now you're going to get it." They said. Before Felicity could react they grabbed her and started to drag her towards the ally. She started to thrash kick anything she could. Her screams were muffled by the man's hand. "Keep quite if you want to live." They told her. "HELP ME!" Felicity screamed hoping for anyone to notice she was there. All of a sudden she was slapped so hard her vision was dancing with white spots. "Good girl, now shut up and the fun can begin." One said to her while trying to take off her jacket. Before they could an object whizzed by. "Get. Your. Hands. Off. Of. Her." A deep voice said. "Who the hell are you?" One of the men said. The man did not speak all he did was start to walk towards them. "I told you to get your hands off of her. " The masked man bellowed. The bad men got up and thought they had a chance to go against the masked one. Before they knew what was happening the masked one had them all beaten and tied up. All Felicity could really do was just lay there. Her head hurt so much. All of a sudden leather gloved hands were grabbing her face. She looked up to see a man with a hood covering his face. She tried to sit up and jump away from him "Hey, hey I won't hurt you I promise. I promise." He said so sincere. "What, who are you. I don't understand." Felicity said. "Everything is going to be okay." He told her.
Next thing Felicity knew was she was being hauled into his strong arms and wept away into the cold night air. He put her on his bike before she knew what was happening. He still drove with ease, even though she was in front of him. All Felicity could focus on was him. He suddenly pulled up to her house. "Umm this may be a weird question to ask but how did you know where I live? Not that I'm implying that you are a stalker or anything. You seem very nice, in my opinion." Felicity could have faced palmed for her babble. She looked up to his face and she could have sworn his lips turned up a bit. "Miss Merlyn I think everyone knows where you live. And no I am not a stalker." He said to her. "OH" Was all Felicity could say. He offered her his hand to get off his bike and she gladly accepted. He walked her to her door. As she was unlocking her door, she said "Thank you for saving me out there. I don't know what would have happened if you didn't." She told him looking into his masked eyes. Blue, was there color. They seemed so familiar. "No problems Miss Merlyn." He said back. Felicity knew she shouldn't do this, but all the emotions she was feeling she just had to. "I know this may seem weird, but I want to give you a token for saving me." She told him. Before she knew what she was raising on her toes and griping his face and kissing him. Wow, he had the softest lips, like mini pillow mountains. She realized that he was actually kissing her back. Something was familiar in this kiss, like she had done it before, but she just could not pin point it. Soon they broke apart for air. "Wow you are a really good kisser. "Was the only thing felicity could say. "Good night Felicity. I will tell the cops about what happened." Was all he said before he literally disappeared into the night.
