Fighting for the Heart

Untitled Part 18

Felicity was tired and she rubbed her eyes as she logged off of her computer. After talking with John, she had spent the rest of the afternoon scrubbing footage and it had paid off in spades. She had found footage of both Emily and Tom being at Oliver's fight and was able to trace the footage as Emily wrote the note, slipped it to a security detail and then Tom receiving the note.

However, the best footage she had found was Emily and Tom talking BEFORE the fight. That had been a huge find and Felicity could not wait to see Oliver and share the news. Now she just had to prove that Laurel was involved and John was going to help her with that task. He was using some of his government contacts to track down visitation records from when Oliver was in the rehab facility, and she was hoping she could trace Emily to having worked the day that Laurel visited.

She placed some papers in her purse and stretched as she stood before making her way out of her office. Curtis gave her a reproving look as she walked up to his desk.

"You look exhausted. Next time you are going to go into some mad computer mode, at least get up and walk every hour." he said.

Felicity gave him an exhausted smile. "Curtis, I am going to take tomorrow off so just cancel any meetings and I will pick them up next week. Oliver has a fight Saturday so tomorrow I am going to just rest before we have to fly out. By the way did you get the tickets couriered for New York?"

"Yep. He should already have them in his hot little hands." Curtis got a far-off look in his eyes. "Those hot, manly hands that......."

"Curtis!!" Felicity said as Curtis started to ramble.

"Sorry." Curtis said but she could see he was not sorry.

"Call or text me tomorrow if you need me and get out early tomorrow and enjoy some time with your man." Felicity said. "Sounds like you need it."

She walked to the elevator and gave him a small wave as the doors slid shut. She pulled out her phone and texted Oliver.

F: Hey, I am leaving work. Are you home yet?

O: Just walked in the door. I stopped and got Thai food. Does that sound good?

F: Perfect. I will see you in 15 minutes.

She smiled as she walked to her car and throwing her purse into the passenger seat drove to Oliver's apartment. They had planned on a nice quiet dinner and were going to take tomorrow to spend some time together before flying to New York for a photo shoot and fight. She was really looking forward to not having to get up and sneak out of his apartment. She just wanted to spend the day with him really getting to know each other and she grinned as another thought slipped into her mind. Having as much sex as they could physically handle. That sounded like a great plan.

Oliver placed the take-out food and wine on the table before grabbing a couple of plates and some silverware. He had learned that Felicity loved red wine and he had picked up a good bottle of red before picking up the food. He wanted everything to be perfect. This would be the first time they were able to sit down and have a nice dinner together and not have to worry about getting up in the morning. Tomorrow was for them to get to know each other better and Oliver found himself smile as he thought of what other things they would be doing. All of them involved a very naked Felicity Smoak in his bed.

He heard a knock at the door and opened it to see one beautiful but exhausted Felicity standing on his door step. He leaned down and gave her a kiss as she walked in and he smiled as she kicked off her shoes and threw her purse on the couch as if it was her own apartment. He found he liked her coming home to him and as quickly as the thought entered his mind, he tried to tamper it down. They were not ready for that just yet.
