A/N: General disclaimer of I don't own anything Arrow but Olicity cannot be denied and Felicity is so much better than Laurel. I even managed a subtle Laurel Lance dig in this chapter.

A/N 2: This final chapter was posted due to the overwhelming bombardment of 'New Chapter' alerts from some of the other Olicity authors on this site. I wanted to join the sweeping movement dammnit! Lol. To date, the number of Oliver x Laurel stories is 52 and the Oliver x Felicity stories is 156. Write on Olicity lovers!

Thea Queen sighed as she sat with her legs crossed in a leather chair and she drummed her fingers on the desk absent-mindedly as she waited. Her obvious and loud impatience didn't seem to affect the man who sat across the desk and worked on his computer but Thea was determined this time.

"Ollie…"

Two weeks had passed since Thea had gone out to lunch with Felicity and manipulated Felicity and Roy into having dinner with her family. Since then Thea had dropped by Queen's Consolidated more than she ever had in her life before and flooded Felicity with gossip and small, side projects. To protect Felicity from the harsh and often rude gossip and rumors (Thea had lingered near the water cooler and the elevators a couple times…) Thea only delivered these projects in the official capacity of her mother's and Walter's approval.

"Oliver Queen you stop what you're doing and look at me this instant! Right now!"

"I've already told you Thea, I'm not going to tell you whether I have a plus one to my not-so-secret-surprise-birthday-party. Since I am being forced to attend this is my act of rebellion."

"And you call me a drama queen!"

Still, Ollie did have a point and Thea let the argument go because Ollie was attending and that was all that mattered. That and making sure Thea found out the identity of the mystery woman that had stayed overnight that oh so revealing night and whether Ollie was dating Felicity or not. Thea supposed there could be a slight chance that the two women were one and the same but Felicity and the mystery overnight woman were two different people entirely.

"You have my word that I will stay the entire night so I fail to see what else you want from me."

"It's your birthday we're celebrating Ollie, don't be such a stick in the mud about it. At least pretend to be happy about your family and friends coming to see you in celebration of your life's accomplishments and goodwill Okay, that sounded too formal but my sentiments still stand."

Thea stood up because she knew Ollie wouldn't give her anymore of his undivided attention and she exited his bedroom. The younger of the Queen siblings was determined to make Ollie's birthday a night to remember…and for the right reasons.

The day before Ollie's birthday found Thea running through Verdant, holding a clipboard in one hand and her iPhone in the other. She took it upon herself to plan and organize Ollie's birthday party and Lady Luck be damned if Thea let any detail go overlooked. No matter how miniscule or seemingly unimportant.

"Oh good! Put that over there. Yes, thank you."

Thea put a check in the small box next to party decorations on her checklist and smiled to herself. She might have time to actually go out to lunch with Roy after all if everything continued to run this smoothly and Thea shook her head so not to get distracted. This would be Ollie's first birthday since he returned from that oh so secret island he refused to talk about and Thea wanted everything to be one hundred percent perfect for her older brother to relax and mingle.

"Oh wow, the club looks so much different than usual. Looks like the decorations are coming along nicely Thea."

At the sound of Felicity's voice, Thea turned around and grinned when she saw the older woman standing there, holding a box of what looked like computer supplies and Thea raised an eyebrow at that.

"Do you always carry your work around with you Felicity?"

"No, not usually. I mean, yes I take work back to my apartment on occasion but… Oh you're talking about this box! Sorry, no, Mr. Queen wanted me to finish installing the upgrades on his computer in his office."

Thea smirked at Felicity's babbling and nodded her head slowly. The tension between Ollie and Felicity at dinner two weeks ago flowed so strongly that Thea felt like the two of them were in their own little world at times. Despite the tension Thea felt, she had no hard, physical evidence to prove that there was something going on between Ollie and Felicity but Thea knew something was and she hoped Ollie's birthday party would reveal some interesting tidbits.

"Working hard for Ollie still I see."

"Well he is my boss so yes, I strive to complete my duties to the utmost of my abilities. That sounded awesome."

Felicity winced and her glasses almost fell off her face. The older woman corrected her glasses and flushed with embarrassment.

"I said that last bit out loud didn't I?"

Thea laughed and waggled her eyebrows. Felicity's lack of filter or 'word vomit' as Felicity called the trait, was something that easily endeared the blonde IT tech to people. She was refreshingly honest and original which Thea had come to enjoy in the brief moments she spent with the older woman.

"No need to be embarrassed Felicity. Your word vomit always makes me laugh."

"Thanks. I think."

Thea chuckled at Felicity's dry quip and pointed in the direction of Ollie's office. Thea winced on the inside as she realized that she had just missed an opportunity to see if there was something more going on between Ollie and Felicity by asking if Felicity knew where Ollie's office was. Not one to cry over spilt milk however, Thea whirled on her heel and continued to oversee the modifications done to Verdant in preparation for Ollie's birthday.

"Are you sure that your plus one is coming tonight? Mom won't tolerate another cancellation at the last minute like you usually pull whenever the topic of female company comes up with you."

"I know for a fact that my plus one will be at my not-so-secret-birthday-party tonight Speedy. Relax and go finish getting ready."

Thea tapped her heel and crossed her arms underneath her breasts. She ignored Ollie's continued quip of calling all of her hard efforts 'not-so-secret' and studied her brother through her patented x-ray vision glare. Like in most cases when she barged into his room, Ollie was ignoring Thea as he smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles in his suit jacket and he turned around with an amused half-smile.

"All finished. When do you expect me to be at my club?"

"In one hour and if you are late there will be dire consequences."

"Wouldn't dream of it."

Thea closed her eyes as Ollie placed a hand on her shoulder when he strode past her out of his room and she followed after a minute later. She whipped out her iPhone and texted Roy to come to the mansion to pick her up. Her plans had started off pretty well and now she needed to get to the Verdant to make sure they continued to go off without a hitch.

Oliver cleared his throat and fixed his suit jacket as he walked around the Mercedes towards Felicity's apartment. He heard Diggle chuckle and looked back over his shoulder to see that the other man had rolled down the driver's side window.

"Relax Oliver. The two of you have been on dates before."

"Never in public and under scrutiny. I told Felicity that this was a bad idea and that she didn't have to do this."

"And disappoint everyone? She wouldn't dare and she has been looking forward to tonight ever since your little sister mentioned it. Now suck it up, and go get her."

Leaving his bodyguard with one final glare, Oliver crossed the street and paged Felicity. He took a couple of deep breaths and reminded himself again that the good far outweighed the bad in this situation.

"Yes? Oomph! Sorry, who's there?"

"Everything all right Felicity?"

"Oh! Hi Oliver. Wait a minute…you're here early! Aaah, why are you early?! Well it's better than being late I suppose and I'm starting to ramble. Come on up. Oh goodness that sounded slutty…"

Oliver shook his head with a chuckle and he pulled open the front door of the apartment complex when it clicked open. He nodded to the man behind the desk, hurried up the stairs when out of sight and knocked on Felicity's door. He heard her stumble behind the door, mutter something and then pull open the door.

"Oh wow, you really need to stop doing this to me."

"Do what?"

Even as he spoke, Oliver's gaze kept sweeping over Felicity in her white cocktail dress and if her subtle smirk was anything to go by, then she too was remembering one of their late night conversations. Oliver almost growled in disbelief when he aw that her dress's style was to wrap around her body and highlighted her toned but curvy form.

"Make my heart hammer in my chest and make me want to jump you because of how good you look in that suit."

"Well there's nothing stopping us and your bed is only ten feet away."

"Oliver! We have to go to your birthday party. You're the guest of honor for goodness sakes!"

Oliver shrugged and went to step inside Felicity's apartment but Felicity stopped him by pressing a hand to his chest. This put the two lovers in close contact and Oliver kissed Felicity before she could do anything. She pulled away after a moment and a silly grin crossed her face.

"Charmer. Come on, we don't want to keep Diggle waiting."

As Felicity walked down the hallway she swayed her hips and Oliver watched unashamedly. Without turning around, Felicity crooked a finger for Oliver to follow after her and she chuckled.

"It's not polite to stare oh boyfriend of mine."

"Jus trying to figure out if you are wearing any underwear or not."

"And if I'm not?"

Thea stood by the front door of Verdant, greeting guests as they walked into the club and collecting the exclusive door passes which consisted of a black card with a green 'V' on the front. She saw Roy walk in and kissed his cheek when he stood next to her. A few of her friends walked in next, drooled at the sight of Roy (Thea smiled smugly) and Thea gazed curiously at Laurel when the older woman strode in. Thea invited Laurel to Ollie's party as it would be rude if she didn't, but with all the dram going on in Laurel's life and the fact that Oliver was subtly off the market, it surprised Thea that Laurel came.

"Hey Thea. Is Oliver here yet or his he going to be fashionably late?"

"And have Speedy flay me alive? No thanks Laurel."

"Ollie! When did you get here?"

At the sound of Ollie's voice, Thea whirled around and glared at her older brother. She also noticed that he wasn't escorting anybody and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Where is your plus one?"

"She's here Speedy. She came with me."

"And who is she?"

Instead of answering Thea, Ollie clapped Roy on the shoulder and drew him away while asking about how Roy liked working at the club. Thea huffed but smiled because she knew at long last that she would meet Ollie's mysterious lady friend.

"Which model or actress is Oliver escorting this time?"

Even though Laurel's question was innocently teasing, it still irked Thea that Laurel, arguably Ollie's most prominent and important ex-girlfriend would joke about Ollie's former playboy ways. Thea couldn't explain why this annoyed her but she didn't look back as she stalked off.

"Ollie isn't escorting some floozy tonight Laurel. He's escorting his girlfriend and lover."

Without bothering to look back, Thea flounced over to Roy who stood near the food table and her high heels clicked angrily on the floor. He rolled his eyes at her expression but handed her a glass of punch. Thea drained it, feeling better already and looked up at Roy.

"Where's my big brother?"

Roy nodded his head up to the second floor of the club and Thea saw Ollie standing by a column. He was talking to someone, his happiness evident on his face but Thea couldn't see whom he was talking to.

"Have you seen who Ollie is talking to?"

"No."

Thea scoffed and tossed her long, brown hair over her shoulder.

"Then we will have to do something about that."

Before Thea could step away and start her latest manipulation to find out the identity of Ollie's mystery woman, Roy held her fast with his arms wrapped around her waist. Thea started but then succumbed to his strong arms and quiet breaths in her ear.

"Rich girl, is your brother enjoying himself?"

"Yes but...-"

"And has he promised to stay the entire night?"

"Yes."

"Then relax and let everyone enjoy themselves."

If Thea could market Roy Harper's low, soft and persuasive voice she could be a billionaire all over again. As usual, her excitement and decisiveness waned and she relaxed further into Roy's strong frame.

"Okay. I'll give him another hour."

"If I could have everyone's attention please. Yes, thank-you."

Thea stood in the middle of the designated dance floor, microphone in hand and smiled out at the medium-sized crowd. Thea had taken Ollie's slight uneasiness with large crowds into consideration and had only invited family, close friends and a few people Ollie insisted on. Diggle's girlfriend Carly for example.

"Tonight we honor my charming lug of an older brother, Oliver, and his oh so colorful existence. Yes, Ollie, I can be nice to you."

The crowd tittered at Thea's joke and she smiled.

"Would the big, bad birthday boy come out and join me please?"

Oliver stepped out of the crowd, mouthed something to someone unseen and smiled as he joined Thea out on the dance floor. Thea beamed when he kissed her cheek and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Mom, Walter and Roy could you join us out here as well?"

Once her family and boyfriend joined the two Queen siblings, Thea looked up at Ollie with a raised eyebrow and devious twinkle in her eyes.

"Is there someone you want to call out here Ollie?"

Thea tipped the microphone towards Ollie and held her breath. Ollie leaned down and had a matching twinkle in his eyes.

"Diggle and Carly, if you would please…"

Thea couldn't help it when her mouth dropped open and she glared at Ollie. His grin widened and he shrugged his shoulders.

"You're so lucky that it's your birthday mister."

Ollie must have taken pity on her as he pried the microphone from her hands and faced the crowd. Thea saw his expression soften and he locked gazes with that previous unseen someone in the crowd. He raised his hand, palm up and smiled.

"Care to join me sunshine?"

When Felicity Smoak walked out of the crowd and took Ollie's hand, it was all Thea could do not to squeal and clap like a fan girl. She felt a rush of relief that her older brother was now dating a woman of sustenance and someone…like Felicity. She joined in the cheers and clapping when Felicity kissed Ollie and laughed when Ollie took their first public kiss a step further by dipping Felicity dramatically as they continued to kiss.

"Get a room!"

Thea laughed and joined in the catcalls at Diggle's comment. Ollie straightened and held Felicity close as he smirked at Thea. Thea raised an eyebrow but nodded in acceptance and took the microphone back from Ollie.

"Now that, that is taken care of…DJ if you would please."

As per her pre-party request, the DJ played a soft ballad and Thea gave Ollie a pointed look. She took Roy's hand and pulled him away from everyone else to an empty place on the dance floor. Even though he wasn't entirely comfortable, Roy humored Thea in her silent demand to dance and Thea rested her head against his chest. From her peripheral vision Thea saw her mother and Walter dancing together, Diggle and Carly and so were Ollie and Felicity.

"I knew it was her."

"Sure you did."

"I did. Really."

Thea watched as Felicity tossed her head back and laughed at something Ollie must have said and her arms were linked around Ollie's neck. That same comfortable ease and laziness from that night Thea stood outside Ollie's bedroom, emanated from the newly public couple and Thea watched them shamelessly.

"Stop staring and let them be rich girl."

"You better be a bigger distraction then…."

"So…"

"So…"

The big reveal of Ollie and Felicity dating had been a few hours ago and the party had turned livelier. Of course Felicity had rarely left Ollie's side and when she did Thea noticed that Ollie's gaze followed her.

"What's it like dating my older brother?"

"Are you sure you want to know? He is your older brother after all."

"Stop evading! Everyone knows that you are dating him now. Spill."

Felicity's response was to hand Thea a glass of wine and smile secretively. Thea groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Out of all the qualities and traits you could have picked up from Ollie, you have to pick up his need for secrets? I'm going to need more wine."

"Oliver keeps his secrets for good reason. How are things going with Roy?"

Thea finished her glass of wine, coughed and waved a hand. She cleared her throat and pointed a finger at Felicity.

"Oh no you don't! I have you dead to rights and you are not getting away this time."

"So you think. Do you know the best thing about dating the birthday boy at his own birthday party?"

Felicity walked past Thea and laughed at the shocked expression on Thea's face. Thea was stunned at Felicity's boldness and teasing.

"Getting the best seat in the house."

Thea watched as Felicity walked over to Oliver, pushed him down into a chair and lower herself into his lap. Thea remembered that conversation she had with Felicity back in the restaurant and she now realized that Diggle and Ollie were the ones helping her with her foot in mouth tendencies. A shame really.

"Clever."

Not to be outdone, Thea picked up the microphone and strode to the middle of the dance floor once again.

"It's time for the birthday boy to get his cake and presents. Felicity bring Ollie out here."

Once Ollie sat by Thea with Felicity once again in his lap, Thea had the presents brought out and stacked next to the couple. She grinned evilly and winked at Felicity.

"So what did you get him Felicity?"

FIN...for real this time!
