Felicity POV
The sound of birds crying out overhead caused me to stir from my sleep. The smell of fire along with the scent of food being cooked seeped in when I took a breath. My eyes slowly opened to find that it was extremely bright outside. Taking a second to adjust to the light, my eyes saw that I was on a beach.
It wasn't just a dream. I'm stranded on an island with Oliver.
"Good morning Felicity." He must have noticed my eyes peeking open. Letting out a yawn, I sat up on the blanket and carefully stretched my aching body.
"Good morning. Hey, why didn't you wake me? I could have taken a watch last night," I asked realising I had slept the whole night through.
"You needed to rest more than I did. You had been through enough for one day. Besides, I wasn't tired," he answered rotating what looked like a fish on a stick in the flames.
"Well I'm taking first watch tonight. You need to sleep too Bear Grylls." He gave me an eyebrow raise.
"Okay, what ever you say boss," he teased giving me a wink.
"Damn straight I'm the boss! Now the boss has a pounding headache. Can she have some Ibuprofen?" I asked as the pounding grew from a gentle tapping noise to a construction site in New York. With a nod, he handed me the small bottle of Ibuprofen along with the half drunken bottle of water. I thanked him and quickly opened the bottle. I popped the pills back and took a swig of the water.
"Thanks," I said handing the bottle of water. "What's for breakfast?"
"Fish fresh from the sea," he answered holding up the stick.
"My favorite," I replied sarcastically. He grinned slightly and placed the fish back on the fire.
"It's almost done. How does your wrist and leg feel?" He asked giving me a once over.
"No pain no gain right?" I joked.
"Felicity," he scolded.
"I'm okay Oliver. Really," I reassured. He didn't say anything for a moment after that. He just glared at me. I could tell he had a lot on his mind. I just wish I knew what it was about.
Finally he took his eyes off of me. He pulled the fish out of the fire and declared it edible. With flat rocks being used as makeshift plates, he served the finished fish. The fish was absolutely disgusting, but I was not at liberty to complain. However long we were going to be on this island, I was going to need to get into the mentality that food was food.
"Well any big plans for today?" I asked curiously.
"Well when I was on the jet, I saw that the radio in the cockpit was actually still in one piece. I was thinking about climbing back in there and seeing if I could radio for help," he answered placing his rock plate on the sand beside him.
"Oh dear God I hope you get that to work! I'll try to make a big S.O.S in the sand. Or should I make a HELP? I've seen both. I'll go with the S.O.S. Its shorter," I rambled thinking out loud.
"Are you sure you're up to it? I don't want you to over exert yourself. I want you to rest and heal up." He sounded worried.
"I'll be fine. I'll take breaks if I start to hurt," I promised trying to stop him from worrying.
"Okay," he sighed. "I think I'm going to try and get some more water from that river we were at yesterday. Our water isn't going to last long in this heat. I can refill the bottles as needed."
"Wait you are planning on going back into that wolf infested jungle?" I asked shocked.
"We need the water Felicity," he responded with his position standing firm.
"You can't go alone. What if the wolf comes back? What if you get attacked? I can't... I can't ..." I was starting to freak out.
"Felicity. Hey Fe-lic-ity. Look at me," I raised my head up and complied. "I will never leave you stranded by yourself on this island. No force of nature is going to take me from you, okay? I'll won't leave you alone like I was."
His hand reached over and took my good one. He laced his fingers with mine as he gave me a gentle squeeze of reassurance.
"I trust you," I whispered truthfully. With another reassuring squeeze, he stood up and leaned down towards me. I felt a gentle kiss be placed on my forehead as his lips touched my skin. My heart fluttered. It took every ounce of self control I had not to grasp the sides of his and pull him down to my lips.
He doesn't want you like that. He's with Sara remember? She's a badass and you are pretty much useless on this island without your computers. If Sara was here, I'm sure her and Oliver would have no trouble surviving. You are barley scraping by. You're injured and useless Felicity. Just face it.
"You aren't useless Felicity," Oliver growled pulling his lips off of my forehead and staring me dead in the eyes. His face was centimeters from mine.
"I said that out loud didn't I? How much did I say?" I asked hoping he didn't hear me ranting about how he was with Sara and not with me.
"I don't wish Sara was here Felicity. I wish none of us were here, but if I had to be stuck on an island with someone I would rather be stuck here with you than anybody in the world."
"Why me?" I asked glancing down at his angry scowl and back up to his sharp blue eyes.
"Because Felicity, you are my world," he replied in a husky tone. My heart felt like it was falling straight down thirteen stories. His hand reached up and brushed my cheek pushing a few strands of hair to the side.
My eyes darted between his lips and his eyes and he inched closer to me at a painstakingly slow speed.
I felt his breath on my lips. It was warm and intoxicating. I felt the heat radiating from his skin as he inched even closer. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the kiss that would change my world forever.
A twig snapping and a loud growl caused my eyes to flick open. I could recognize that sound anywhere. Fear overtook my body. Another snarl sounded closer. My eyes slowly turned towards the source of the noise. The Big Bad Wolf had returned and was ready to finish the job. I watched as the wolf lunged straight for my face.
