Flores (Oliver Queen)

The Gala

A few days later. 

I groaned annoyed when i heard the door bell go off.

I made my way downstairs and opened the front door.

Tommy stormed inside.

Me "feel free to come in"

Then i walked to the sofa and sat down.

Tommy sat down on the other sofa.

He smiled "a wonderful afternoon to you too, Senorita Flores"

Me "Go home"

Tommy shook his head "no"

Me "Tommy, what are you doing here?"

Tommy "i missed you"

Me "You have a girlfriend"

Tommy "I missed hanging out with you"

I took a deep breath "What do you need?"

Tommy pretended to be offended "why does my appearance here make you think that i wan-"

I said more sternly "Tommy"

Tommy "I want you to come to the CNRI benefit Gala tonight"

I shook my head "no"

Tommy "As a Flores you should attand"

I sighed.

Tommy "If it's about what happened a few days ago at Oliver's party. Nothing will happen to you, Caty"

Me "If i agree to go there, will you leave now?"

Tommy nodded "Yes"

I nodded "i'll come"

He stood up "then get ready"

The he walked out.

I rolled my eyes and stood up.

At the Gala.

I walked inside and looked around. 

Tommy walked to me with a smirk "Damn, Cat, you look great"

I smiled "thanks for inviting me"

Tommy "Well, i figure the entire Queen and Flores family and their checkbooks should be present"

Me "Yeah, since i'm the only Flores left.."

Tommy's face well "I'm sorry. I didn-"

I shook my head  "It's fine. I'll write check later"

Tommy smiled "thank you. if you'll excuse me"

I nodded and he walked away.

Then  grabbed a glass of champagne from one of the waiters and looked around.

I saw Oliver talking to his mother.

I took a sip of my drink.

--

I saw Tommy glaring at the guy Laurel was dancing with.

I walked to him and sat down next to him.

Me "you do realize that he can't feel you killing him, right?"

Tommy looked at me "but i can try"

I looked at him "you're jealous."

Tommy looked at me and then laughed "What?"

Me "estas celoso, mi amigo"

He shook his head "Na. I don't do jealousy"

I raised my eyebrows amused. 

Tommy shrugged "Maybe"

I giggled.

Tommy "are you drunk?"

I asked confused "why do assume that i'm drunk?"

Tommy "Because you're talking to me. The man of your ex BFF who slept with your ex boyfriend"

I put a hand on his shoulder  and sighed "ay, Tommy, you're my best friend, okay? And nothing will ever change that"

He smiled "have you-"

I nodded "You think $20 000 are enough?"

He nodded "pretty much. Thank you"

I nodded "no problem"

He smiled and put an arm around me "Come on, let's get you home"

I nodded "please"
