Oliver woke up the next morning with something on his chest.
He looked down and found something blonde on him.
It took him a few seconds to realize that it was Felicity and that they had spent the night together in her spare room.
She had a rough night tossing , turning and at one point a nightmare which he held her tight and calmed her back into sleep. He knew he would have to talk to her about seeing someone as he believed the nightmares wouldn't be going away anytime soon. He watched as she slept from the furrow of her eyebrows, to slope of her nose and to her lips her very kissable lips.
Get your head out of your ass Oliver! you are not going to hit on this girl after everything you put her through.
He sighed and realized that he need to back away from this sudden closeness he had to her which he was sure was due to his guilt about what happened to her.
He made a decision that he was going to try to be friends with her and see where that goes after they have a proper talk about last night.
He got a out of the bed gently trying to not wake her up and headed for the bathroom and on the way back he found laurel sitting down in the Kitchen her eyes on the her phone.
"Is that the boyfriend?" he teased remembering his conversation with Felicity.
"What? No!" She said startled and dropped her phone on to the counter.
"Great save there" He said chuckling at her glare.
"Where did you come from?" She asked.
"The bathroom and by the way Felicity and your sister so think your dating someone your horrible at keeping secrets" He said smirking at her.
"What? How do you know that?" She asked.
"Felicity told me last night" he said with a shrug.
"Ill deal with that later but I need to talk to you about her" Laurel said sitting up looking at him seriously.
She indicated for him to sit next to her and he did looking at her confused about the change in her voice.
"What about her?" he asked.
"What are you doing with her?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" he said getting more confused.
"I mean you couldn't stop touching her last night which I know is from your guilt and then I saw you two in the spare room. She's really vulnerable right now so I want to know what the hell your doing" Laurel said.
"I'm not doing anything!. Look your right I felt horrible I still feel horrible for her ,it was my fault some jerk laid a hand on her and I want to do everything I can to make it up to her" He said feeling very defensive and hurt by his friends accusations.
"Did you two talk about what you said to her?. I still don't understand what possessed you to say those things to her. You don't say that to your worst enemy let alone whatever you two are" Laurel said.
"No we didn't we will when she is less emotional. And I don't know why I said those things that wasn't me and the thing is I don't even hate her! I never have. I was having a bad day and I was taking it out on her which is usually fun. She's pretty entertaining when she's mad." He said smiling at the image of a mad Felicity.
It was both hot and adorable.
"I think theirs one thing you never considered when you fought with her all those times, that now looks abundantly clear now after what I saw last night" Laurel said getting up.
"What's that?" he asked.
"That maybe just maybe your in love with her"
