Through the Heart (Arrow Fan Fiction)

Chapter 14

Oliver:

I'm half way up the stair when Dig asks "what are you doing?" "Just going to go see how things are doing in the club" looking at him with a mischievous smile "You coming?" I added. Diggle and I get up to the first floor and walk toward the small Back booth I keep closed off for me and friends. During our walk across the club I keep an eye on Felicity at the bar talking with that man. Diggle and I take our seats and order drinks "Hey why you are staring daggers threw that man with Felicity?" "What? Oh he just seems familiar that's all. Also I like to keep any eye on the people in her life. Since we are all so close with our night activity I like to know who's getting close to Miss. Smoak" I told him. "Miss. Smoak?" He questioned. "To formal?" I asked we both shared a laugh. The waitress arrived with our drinks and when I looked back to the bar Felicity was walking over to a table where a woman with red hair sat bobbing her head to the music. They sit for a bit before going to the dance floor, watching her dance is beautiful the smile that was breath taking. They return to their table about a half hour later I rise from my seat and start to walk across the room to my beautiful IT girl... not girl women my IT women.

We are almost at their table when slam Felicity walks right into me. "Ouch what are you made of steel?" the blond asked. She then looks up "Oh Oliver I'm so sorry." She said realizing it was me she walking into. I wish I could be this close to her all the time! "It's ok. John and I were just having some drinks and saw you and your friend and decided to come say hi." I informed her. "Of course Oliver, John this is my best friends Kelsey, Kels these are my friends Oliver and John" she introduced us. Before I have the chance to say a word Dig cuts me off puts his hand out "You can call me Diggle everyone does." he says to Kelsey with a charming smile. Felicity and I share a look, we've never seen Dig flirt or be charming.

Diggle and Kelsey are leaning close to each other on one side of the table talking. Felicity and I are at the other side. "So are you two taking a night off too?" She questioned. "Kind of, the city has been quiet lately, kind of scary quiet" I confide in her. "Oliver its ok, we will deal with whatever comes no matter how big or small, but when life gives a hero a much needed vacation take it and don't complain." She said with wide eyes and a big smile. "How do you always manage to make everything better?" I wondered "I don't know I guess it's just it my job to keep you together and in one piece." she answered. "The Arrow?" I asked quietly so no one else could hear me. "No, Oliver" she told me with a smile. She then leaned her head so she could see Kelsey and Diggle who were no longer there. "Where'd they get off to?" She pondered bleep bleep we looked down and her phone and there was a message from Kelsey.

John... I mean Diggle and I went somewhere a bit quieter so we could talk, I'll call you tomorrow! Thanks girl!

"Oliver if you don't mind since this was her idea and now she's gone I think I'm going to get going." Felicity stated. "Let me give you a ride." I offered. "That's not necessary." "Please this really isn't my scene." I reminded her "well not anymore."

We arrived at her apartment. Standing at her door in an awkward silence "So you have a good night Felicity?" I asked her. "Yeah I guess" she answered looking to the side. "It's just even thought I spend almost every night in there the first floor really isn't where I feel comfortable. I don't belong there." she continued. Grabbing her dress and shrugging her shoulders she added "I don't fit in there." "Well I think you look amazing no matter what level of verdant you're on." She blushed and with red cheeks she told me "I guess it time for bed don't you think?" she questioned. I looked at her with wide eyes waiting for her to realize what she said. "Oh I mean me here and you at your house in your bed without me in it" she quickly turned around and fled into her apartment behind the door I could hear her hit her head on the door. Behind muffled sound I heard "See you tomorrow boss man." I turn from her door and step off her porch and head toward my bike. You know Felicity is the only women I've given a ride to who hasn't ever complained about the bike, Laurel use to always complain about it, saying it's not lady like to be on back of one. On my way home I couldn't help but think of how understanding to everything Felicity is. That woman is a true saint.
