Here it is! The second part (and more likely last part) of my Pokemon Go drabble.
BTW my Pokemon Go app doesn't work anymore in my phone so I'm very sad :_(
12 - Pokemon II: The date
Oliver was nervous. He had been from the moment he had received that text from Felicity, asking him to meet that same afternoon. He had had a quick lesson about Pokemon Go with Thea in the morning, of course after having to explain the whole situation to his sister, who had laughed at him for five minutes before accepting to help him.
At the end he had the app installed, Squirtle picked as his started Pokemon, and he had even been able to catch a few more from the garden of the mansion. He was as prepare as he could be for his date. A date that had all the ingredients to be a disaster, because: a) He lied to Felicity about playing Pokemon Go, and b) He had not been in a proper date in years.
So there he was, nervous as hell, sitting on the bench next to the fountain of Sierra Park (the second largest park in Starling City), and waiting for the blonde who had captivated him that morning. A few minutes later he saw her approaching the bench. He stood up, his hands were sweaty and he tried to dry them with the fabric of his jeans. He definitely was so out of his game.
"Hello." She greeted him cheerfully, her mobile phone already on her hand.
"Hi. So... umm... Where do you want to go?"
"If we go near the lake we may catch some water Pokemons, does that sound good?"
"Yeah. Sounds great."
They started to walk, an akward silence between them. Oliver looked down to his phone, not daring to look at Felicity. "This is weird, right?" he heard her asking.
"No! This is just a... different first date."
"A date?"
Crap! He thought. For him it was pretty clear that this was a date but maybe she thought differently. He needed to fix it or he would look like a creep.
"Well, only if you wanted it to be. We can just be two people hanging out."
"I think I like the idea of a date. Going for a walk, getting to know each other... " She said with a smile. A gorgeous smile if you asked Oliver. "But if I had known that this was a proper date I would have wear someting nicer." She said looking down at her worn off jeans and trainers.
"You look beautiful" Oliver told her. And he wasn't lying, she truly looked beautiful with her hair down, minimal makeup and a tight outfit that clung to her figure. Boy! Did she have a nice ass...
Felicity couldn't help but blush, trying to hide it to hide it by looking at her phone.
"So, what do you do for a living? Apart from being a Pokemon trainer." He asked.
"I wish that was a real career! I'm an IT expert. What about you?"
"Club owner."
That made her stop abruptly. "Wait. Club owner? Oliver?... Oh my God! Are you Oliver Queen?"
"Yes. " He answered, scared by her reaction. Usually women throw themselves at his feet when they knew who he was, but Felicity didn't look like one of those women. "Is that something bad?"
"No. I mean... we are who we are and there is nothing wrong about having one surname or another. It's just that I kinda work for your family."
"You work at Queen Consolidated?"
"Yes. In fact I'm going to be promoted to supervisor of the IT Department." she answered calmly and started to walk again.
"That's kind of a big deal, right? You are what? 25?" he asked shocked. She looked way too young to be promoted already.
"24, actually. And it is a big deal. In fact, I'm going to be the youngest supervisor ever in the whole history of QC, but I'm also a genious. I graduated from M.I.T. when I was 19 years old."
"WOW. You are making me feel so under accomplished now." Oliver joked. That woman was amazing.
They continued walking to the lake. Any awkwardness that was there before had disappeared and now they were talking as if they had known each other for years. Oliver felt so relaxed that he forgot the reason why they were in the park, and not having the date in any other place.
"Oh my God!" Screamed suddenly Felicity.
"What? What happened? Are you ok?"
"A Lapras nearby."
"A what?"
"Lapras? The pokemon?"
"Ah... yes... of course."
"C'mon!"
She grabbed his hand and started running towards the lake. Oliver could see a few more people with their mobile phones out going in the same direction. So a Lapras was a something that looked like the love child of a turtle and the Loch Ness monster, and aparently was an important Pokemon. Once Felicity had captured her Pokemon she looked at Oliver, who was very confused.
"Oliver, which team are you?"
"Are we talking hockey? Baseball? Football?"
"Pokemon. I'm team Mystic."
"I'm... the one that is yellow."
Felicity looked at him, cocking her head to her side. She knew he was lying. But why? To get her into bed? No. He could have used a less elaborated lie for that. Maybe to laugh at her, but Oliver had been a very nice guy and he looked really interested in her.
"You don't play Pokemon, do you?" She asked, feeling cheated.
"I do! Look! I have the app." He defended himself, showing his phone to her.
"You are only at level 3! You can't even choose a team until you are at level 5!" Felicity screamed.
She took a step backwards, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again she found Oliver looking at her guiltily.
"Just tell me why."
"I... I don't know." Oliver tried to explained. "When I saw you this morning I just wanted to spend time with you."
"You could have just asked me out."
"I don't know if you noticed but I'm not the smoothest when it comes to dating. Hook ups yes, dating not so much."
"So this is not about having sex?"
"No... well yes but... It's not..."
"You know, usually it's me the one talking in fragment sentences." She commented, amused.
He smiled. It seemed that she wasn't that mad anymore.
"Look, Felicity. I like you. I have only known you for a day, but you are an amazing woman and I want to date you."
"WOW. And you say you are not smooth. And also WOW, I can not believe that Oliver Queen wants to date me."
"So what do you say? You want to grab some dinner?"
"Sounds good" She answered smiling. "And also I can explain more things about Pokemon to you. Because belive me, there are going to be more dates like this one."
Oliver couldn't help but laugh. "Seems fair."
