Why, why did he kiss her back? He knew better, better than anyone, but it was just too easy to give in. Give in to her. He was thinking about this while looking at her through her window sill. It was too easy to get lost in her. She always had that quality. That's what made Felicity, Felicity.
Felicity brought her hand up to her lips felt the tingling sensation, she only felt that once, no...no she wouldn't think about him not now. She got ready for bed washing her face, she suddenly got chills going up her back. She looked up to her window in her bedroom, walking up to it, she felt like someone was there. Closing her curtains, she headed off to bed. And this night she didn't once want to cry herself to sleep with the thought of Tommy.
She jerked awake with alarm. She was sweating all over, her dreams where so real. The men had their hands all over her. She was trying to escape. What would they have done if he didn't help her, would they...? No...No stop thinking about it she told herself. Looking over to her mirror she saw the nasty bruises all over her body. A huge bruise on her cheek. Great, how was she going to cover this up. Felicity was mused out of her thoughts by a nocking on the door. She got up and checked the peep whole. Great it was captain lance. She unlocked the door and let him inside already knowing what he wanted. "Captain Lance, I thought I could just head down to the station and give my statement?" Felicity said with little distain in her voice.
"Sorry, I just thought you would like it be hear better. Most people like to." Captain lance replied. "And it just had to be you to get my statement didn't it?" Felicity asked him. "Um i thought it might do you good to have a familiar face." He told her. Rolling her eyes, felicity began to tell him what happened and how the "Hood" saved her. "The man in the green hoodie saved you? He usually only goes after the top dogs in this town who own money." Lance said while also thinking the "Hood" never really went after criminals like this, Felicity must be special. "I guess he was just in the saving mood." Felicity said to him hoping this would be over with already. "Felicity, I know these couple of months have been hard, but i just wanted you to know that it hasn't been easy on any of us. I was just hoping you could go easy on Laurel, I know I have no right to ask you this, but she has been drinking a lot lately and I think she has a problem." Lance said to felicity hoping she would understand. "Captain Lance, you are right, you have no right to say this to me. The sister of the man whose body was buried under ground. The sister whose brother was left for dead in a building where he saved your daughter after her choice of fleeing my brother after he saved her boney ass. Now you got my statement, I think it is time you leave Captain Lance." Felicity said to him with so much power in her voice it surprised her.
Captain lance nodded his head and got up to leave, before her left he turned to Felicity and looked at her. "Felicity for what its worth, I am truly sorry. You never deserved this. I saw how much you two loved each other. Its never easy loosing a person you share blood with." Captain lance said. "Yea, it never is. Goodbye Lance take care." Felicity said while closing the door and receiving a nod from him. Felicity leaned her back on the door and let out a loud exhale.
All she wanted to do was go into her room and live under her blankets and wish she would wake up from the nightmare that is her life. She knew better, she was the CEO of a billion dollar company. Speaking of which, she had to get ready for if she wanted to make it in time for her meeting with saving the city. After she was all dressed in a nice silver dress that hugged her just right and letting her hair down so people wont see the bruises on her neck. She looked in the mirror and put on the necklace Tommy gave her. She started looking at a photo of him that was on her desk. She touched his face, but felt the glass. If only she could just see him. "Well Tommy wish me good luck, I promise I will do what ever it takes to make this city a better place, for you." Felicity said out loud.
A knocking sounded at her door making her jump. She put the photo down, and started to walk towards the door. She looked through the peep whole and rolled her eyes at who she saw. She couldn't act like she wasn't home, her heels echoed when she walked. Maybe if she just stood there, they would go away. "Felicity, I can hear you talking." He said. Damn, mouth to brain filter. She unlocked the door, but not letting him inn. "What do you want, I thought I made myself perfectly clear that I didn't want to deal with you. " She said looking him in the eyes. Big mistake, his eyes where so blue. She could get lost in them for hours. Shaking herself out of those thoughts. She leveled him with her "Don't give me any of your bullshit you know I don't care" look. He sighed and looked at her, like a kicked puppy. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I heard what happened last night. Oliver told her. "How do you know what happened last night?" Felicity asked, really how did he know. "It was on the news today. I saw and just had to see if you were okay, Thea wanted to come, but she my mom told her not too. " Oliver said to her. "Oh, oh okay. Well I'm fine, I left in one piece thanks to the Hood." She told him. "Yea, i saw that he saved you. It was quite a shock." He said.
Suddenly Felicity felt the need to defend him "Why do people keep saying that? To me he seems like a person ho would give up a lot to save this city. To me he is a hero. I will forever be grateful to him, even though at first I was mad at the hood." She trailed off. Suddenly Oliver got this look in his eyes. Love, Sadness, and an emotion she wasn't ready to confront. "If you don't mind me asking, why were you made at him to begin with?" he asked. Felicity thought if she should tell him. "The night...th night Tommy.. The night Tommy died I saw him walk out the back of the building. I was just so angry that he couldn't save my brother. I vowed to never let him do this again, but then after a few weeks, my anger disappeared and I knew in my heart that he tried to save Tommy. I just knew he tried. So I dropped it." Felicity said to him. She felt fingers moving her glasses and wiping away tears. She looked up too see Oliver wiping them. She froze for a second, looking at him, then he took his hands and saw the bruises on her neck. Oliver's jaw ticked looking at them. "I wish he did a lot more than just beat them up. I cant believe they did this to you. " Oliver said with so much anger in his voice. "I'm not. Those men, yea sure they were sleazebags, but I don't want him to kill." Felicity said finding her voice. They looked at each other for a few moments she felt herself being pulled into his orbit. He was leaning in too. Felicity realized this and jerked her head back and stood up.
She saw Oliver close his eyes and breath in. "Oliver I have to go. I need to go to work." Felicity said not looking at him. Before she knew what was happening Oliver pulled her into a hug. Her hands were just motionless at her sides. She wanted to hug him so bad. She let her arms come up and actually hug him. Oliver let out aloud sigh of relief when she hugged him back. They could have been there for a few moment, seconds, hours. It didn't matter. Reality came crashing down on Felicity and she pulled back. "I need to go." Was all she said. Oliver nodded, but turned around and looked at felicity "I want you to take diggle with you into work today." He stated. She started to protest. "Felicity please, just let me do this one thing. I don't know what I would do if I lost you too." Oliver said wholeheartedly. "Fine, but just until I get my own bodyguard." Felicity told him. Oliver actually smiled. The real smile of his, not the fake one. Oliver walked her to the car John was driving and let her in. She was about to ask what he was going to ride in, but then she saw
The way she talked about the hood like she was really proud of him, made Oliver feel something he had not felt in a long time. He just wished he killed those men for touching her. She may be mad at Oliver Queen right now, but the hood, she treated like her hero. Oliver will protect her as the hood. He promised Tommy as he lay there dying telling Oliver he had to look out for Felicity, but Oliver had to protect her no matter what the cost. He couldn't be sane without her. Oliver Queen and as the Hood, he made a vow to always protect her.
