Adrenaline!

Untitled Part 5

Oliver walked into his office, giving John a nod as he passed. He had driven himself to the office today because John had some errands he had needed to attend to before coming to the office. As Oliver settled in at his desk to work, his mind kept wandering to the blonde mechanic that had been underneath his car. The whole time he was talking to her this morning he was wondering what she would feel like underneath him. She intriqued him like no other woman ever had before. She was obviously smart, beautiful and the fact that she knew her way around a car was a turn on that Oliver never imagined. He thought back over her interaction with Slade. It was obvious Slade was attracted to her but she had seemed aloof. Not interested. Oliver smiled as his mind once again thought back to how she had looked this morning. He had wanted to unbuckle each of her shoulder straps of her overalls and slide them down her..........Get a grip Queen!

Oliver knuckled down and got to work on the paperwork his father had left on his desk. He wanted Oliver to look over the companies that they were planning on purchasing and give his ok. The morning passed fairly quickly and by noon, Oliver's stomach was growling. He told his assistant that he would be gone for the rest of the afternoon, and he and John left. They stopped at a diner and had lunch before John followed Oliver home so he could change clothes. He wanted to stop back by the garage and check on Felicity and Roy. John gave him a knowing look as they drove to the garage. The blonde mechanic obviously had Oliver in a tailspin and John knew to keep his mouth shut about it. But that didn't mean he wouldn't enjoy the show.

Roy had shown up to the garage after Oliver left and he and Felicity had gotten to work on the car. They had worked silently for most of the morning and ordered in a pizza for lunch so they could work while they ate lunch. Felicity had laughed as Roy told her about the girl he had dated who thought a carburator was a type of vibrator. He always seemed to make her laugh and she was glad to be back and doing what she loved. Cars had been a passion of hers since she had worked on a Chevy with her Dad when she was 7. It had been some of the best times with her Dad before he left two years later.She had been heartbroken but her love of cars had stayed.

Roy and Felicity were laughing and joking when Oliver and John arrived. He gave Roy a look of surprise, as he noticed how close the two were to each other. Felicity was bent over the front of the car with Roy leaning next to her, their heads close together. He cleared his throat in annoyance, and Felicity jumped. She turned to see Oliver and John standing there looking at them as if they had caught the two making out. Little did they know that she and Roy had never been attracted to each other. They had always thought of each other as brother and sister and their relationship was based on love and friendship. Well if Oliver wanted to think she was interested in Roy. Who was she to prove him wrong. It might help her get through the next three weeks without pushing him in the backseat of the car and riding him until they both couldn't stand.

"You two seem to be having a good time.", Oliver said a little perturbed.

Felicity smiled at Roy, "He has always known how to make me feel good.", she quipped. Roy looked at her in surprise and she just winked at him. He rolled his eyes as he realized what she was doing. The last thing he wanted was to get on Oliver's bad side.

Oliver quirked an eyebrow at her. She seemed to be in a particularly fiesty mood this afternoon. Oh well, he was up for the challenge. John headed to the garage office to work on some paperwork and Oliver strolled over to the car, looking under the hood. Roy decided to take a break and headed out as Oliver leaned a hip against the car and looked at Felicity. She decided to ignore him and returned to tightening a bolt on the battery they had just replaced.

"So, are you working on getting my battery running?", Oliver asked suggestively.

Felicity swallowed. "Actually I just replaced your battery. It wouldn't start.", she said.

Oliver shifted closer, "Did you try to jump start it?"

Felicity shifted away one step, "Yes but it didn't take.", she said. Dang why did he have to stand so close? She could smell his cologne.

"Maybe it needed to be primed longer.", he said, shifting closer.

Felicity shifted away from him again and bumped into the tool cart. "We tried priming it for over 30 minutes. It wouldn't keep a charge."

Oliver shifted closer, and Felicity looked at him in annoyance. Of course she was way more annoyed with herself for being so aware of him.

"Did you come here just to annoy me Oliver?", she asked with a sigh. She was starting to regret her comment about Roy.

He looked down at her with a grin. Her eyes were gorgeous. Before he could stop himself his hand gripped the strap to her overalls and he tugged her closer. "It's my garage Felicity, I hang out here all the time. But for the record, when I saw you bent over the front of my car.....", his voice turned suggestive. "It was not annoying you that crossed my mind." His eyes flickered down to her lips, and Felicity could not help it as she bit her bottom lip. He noticed.

"Wait until you see me using a torque wrench.", she said just as suggestively. Oliver swallowed. She pushed from him and turned to continue working on the battery.

Oliver grinned as he walked to the office. Whew, this was going to be fun.

The rest of the week was similar to the first day. Oliver would come in every afternoon, and check on her progress. Their talk turning to innuendo, until Roy and John would groan. Felicity was proud of herself. She had made it through the first week without shoving Oliver back against the car and kissing him senseless.

That was a good thing, right?
