Hi Guys! This is my first story in a very long time! I had something very very serious happen to me and for a while i couldn't do a lot of things for myself including writing. I've filled my days watching Arrow over and over again. And that's where this little beauty came from, it was initially suppose to be a one shot but i have ideas for a second and maybe a third chapter, if you guys like the first. Has not been beta'd,
**Spoilers for up to the latest episode of Arrow**
Anyway the story behind this is, i didn't feel quiet right about the way they left the last episode of Arrow, I'm a serious Olicity shipper and so the ending of the episode kind of frustrated me. So i thought I'd write this, so read on, let me know what you think! Thanks guys!
I do not own Arrow, if i did Olicity would definitely be the end game, regardless of whats in the comics!
Felicity strode into Verdant, she had not long told Oliver some family shattering information. She had not meant to tell him like that in the middle of the press conference for his mother becoming mayor. But she had no other choice she couldn't let Moira manipulate her like that, regardless of the truth in it.
She found herself sat at home not even able to get ready for bed let alone sleep, she couldn't leave it like that with him, she just couldn't. As she input the code and started to descend the stairs, she heard noises coming from the basement, it took her too long to realize what those noises were. By the time she realized she was already at the bottom, and what she saw made her heart tear.
"Felicity" Oliver said as he peeled his half naked self off of Sara, "What are you doing here?"
For a moment Felicity was frozen, unable to even move her mouth let alone her legs which is what she really wanted to do. "I err… I, Sorry I didn't mean, you guys should hang a sock or something" She laughed but it didn't quiet reach her eyes, something Oliver noticed immediately "Although I never really understood where that came from, I mean understand why, honestly a tie would make more sense to me than a sock or even a bra. But then I suppose you're getting into the…"
"Felicity!"
Felicity jumped at Oliver's voice "Sorry, I should go" she turned to make her way back upstairs, before she could even take a step Oliver had grabbed her arm, she turned to face him, he opened his mouth to speak but she got there before he could.
"So much for not being able to be with someone you could actually care about huh Oliver" Oliver looked at her shocked, not able to respond.
Felicity looked down to her arm that was still in his grip, "Let my arm go" She said
"Felicity, it's…"
"None of my business"
"That's not what I was going to say"
"I really don't care what you were going to say, now let it go!" she spoke with such anger that even Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow himself felt slightly scared at that moment. He knew that no matter what he said at this point he would end up hurting one of them, so he released her.
She took her arm back and ascended the stairs, as soon as she was out the door she ran, she didn't stop until she was back at her apartment. Slowly but surely she made her way over to her sofa and collapsed, she burst into tears, before she knew it she was sobbing and that was how she stayed for the next hour before making the decision that she needed sleep.
The next day she walked into the office with as much confidence as she could muster, whether or not she wanted to admit it, she was in love with Oliver Queen and there was not a damb thing she could do about it, well almost.
She hadn't seen him yet, she had come in early specifically for that reason, after setting her computer up for the day she made her way towards Isabel Rochev's office. Felicity knew she would already be here, that woman's life was work, and sure enough as she turned the corner Isabel was sat typing away.
Felicity approached and knocked on the glass "Miss Rochev, May I have a moment?"
Isabel looked up, "Miss Smoak, what is it?" She asked motioning towards the seat in front of her.
"I just wanted to give you this" She handed over a crisp white envelope, which Isabel immediately sliced open, she read the first line and looked up to Felicity in shock.
"Why have you bought this to me?" Isabel asked
"Because I do not believe that Mr Queen will accept it, and I know you will"
"If you two have had some lovers tif and that's what this is about then please leave now as I have no interest in it whatsoever!"
At this point Felicity was getting annoyed; she had not expected so much conversation concerning the matter and the fact that that subject was bought up again, seriously made her mad.
"Let me put one thing straight right now, Oliver Queen and I have never and will never had a personal relationship. The most we were was friends and that it all, regardless of what you may hear or what your pathetic little brain may have conjured up on those lonely nights of yours. What you hold there is my resignation. I have left two weeks' notice and shall see them out to the best of my ability. I would appreciate it if you did not inform any one of my departure unless absolutely necessary. I will inform Mr Queen myself when he gets in. That is all" Felicity turned on her heels before Isabel could say another word and made her way back to Oliver's office to wait for his arrival and the hardest conversation she was sure she would ever have to have.
She didn't have to wait long as Oliver arrived not 15 minutes later, he walked straight to her desk "Felicity we need to talk"
She looked up and responded "Yes we do" Oliver knew by her loaded tone that there was something he was missing but before he could say anything further Isabel came up behind him.
"So have you told him yet?" Isabel said addressing Felicity with a malicious look upon her face.
"Told me what?" Oliver asked not taking his eyes off of Felicity.
She looked up to respond only to be interrupted by Isabel getting there first "Everyone's favourite secretary has resigned" She said smiling.
Oliver and Felicity were both still staring at each other, to the outside observer Oliver had not been in any way shape or form affected by this information, but Felicity knew him better than that.
"I haven't received a resignation" He finally said.
"No I have" Isabel replied "And an awful lot of lip to go with it, but that is not why I'm here, Miss Smoak, I have spoken to my legal department and payroll. There is no need for you to work you 2 weeks' notice, I have spoken to a temp agency who will be sending along a replacement within the next two hours. In fact there is no need for you to remain in the building any longer, I'm sure the temp can get them hang of it, I mean it's not like its rocket science is it?"
Felicity turned towards Oliver expecting him to say something, when he didn't even mutter a word, Felicity stood gathered her coat and bag, ignoring the tugging feeling in her stomach, the one she got whenever she walked away from him. She stepped into the elevator and pushed ground floor, as the doors started to close Oliver stopped them, stepped in and pushed the door close button.
As soon as the elevator started to move Oliver pushed the STOP button, he turned to face her to find her staring at the door not making a sound.
"What the hell Felicity?" he heard himself say.
"I was about to tell you when she turned up" Felicity said, surprised by the fact that she had no urge whatsoever to babble.
"Is this about yesterday?" He asked her
"No, well yes but not completely" She found that she still could not face him.
He grabbed her by her arms and turned her towards him, "Felicity, it was nothing, we just needed comfort, that's all we were to each other, that's all we ever were to each other!"
Felicity looked him in the eye and said "You don't have to explain yourself to me Oliver, I'm only your employee" Then she laughed "Actually I guess I'm not now am I? I'm sorry Oliver but I can't do this anymore, I can't be your personal assistant, your IT specialist or your girl Wednesday" She said with a poignant look.
"No" Oliver said "You resigning from Queen Consolidated is one thing but resigning from that is another"
"I'm sorry Oliver, its over. I can't do it anymore, I'm just done"
"Where will you go?" Oliver said angrily
Felicity said the only place she knew may elicit a reaction from him "Central City" She said.
He released her arms and she moved round him to push the button again causing the elevator to start up again. They rode the rest of the way in silence, when they reached the bottom floor; she turned to him and quickly placed her soft cherry flavoured lips over his for the briefest of moments. "Goodbye Oliver" She said before walking out and towards the exit.
