Fighting for the Heart

Untitled Part 29

Felicity walked into her office the next morning and she was grumpy. She was grumpy because she had hardly gotten any sleep last night. She had realized pretty quickly that she had gotten use to sleeping next to Oliver and that sleeping without him was not as easy as she thought it would be, so she had barely slept at all.

Curtis watched her walk by without saying a word and he decided to steer clear until she called him into her office. She had informed him of what was going on in case anyone called with questions about the break-up, particularly media.

Felicity sat down at her desk and hearing her phone ding, she pulled it out and found a text from Oliver.

O: I missed you last night.

F: I missed you too.

O: Tonight, is the dinner with Laurel. Can I call you afterwards?

F: Yes.

O: At least I get to see you.

F: Yes, but I have to act like I am with Tommy.

O: Remember why we are doing this.

O: Are you moping?

F: Yes

Oliver laughed when he saw her response and said.

O: Just four more days.

F: I cannot wait.

O: I love you.

F: I love you too.

Felicity sighed as she set down her phone. She was glad that Oliver's dinner with Laurel was happening tonight but it didn't make her mood any better and so she called Curtis into her office a little gruffly.

Curt took a seat and Felicity asked him about her day.

"So, Dana sent over a courier and Oliver's papers for Fight Night were inside. He said that Oliver's fight will be the last one of the night." Curtis said, knowing the news would be good for her to hear.

"The last fight of the night? Really?" Felicity said surprised.

"Yep." Curtis said and heard her say "Yes!"

"Also, you are having lunch today with Thea Queen and then after lunch you have a call with Lyla about Oliver's PT." Curtis placed the calendar on her desk and he gave her a sympathetic look. He could see she was tired.

"No sleep last night?" He asked.

Felicity laid her head on her arms on her desk. "No. I don't understand. I use to be able to sleep on my own just fine."

"Maybe it's not the sleeping alone but the reason your sleeping alone that is the problem." Curtis said.

Felicity lifted her head and looked at him. "Well that does have a little something to do with it. Did you make the reservation for Tommy and I tonight at The Mexican Rose?"

"Yes, and I made Oliver's reservation for the same time." Curtis said.

"Ok good. Thank you, Curtis." Felicity looked at the papers before her and decided the best thing she could do to get her mind off of things was work.

Curtis gave her an understanding look and then walked back out to his office. He decided to hold her calls for that morning, because it was going to be a long day.

Felicity walked into the diner where she had agreed to meet Thea for lunch. Her morning had been so frustrating so she was looking forward to spending time with the younger Queen. They had become friends during the time Felicity had been working and dating Oliver and they would meet for lunch periodically whenever Thea wasn't traveling.
