Untitled Part 11

Oliver grabbed his whiskey and downed it as he stared at her legs. The heels that Thea had chosen made Felicity's legs look a mile long. Felicity smiled as she turned his direction and he got a full frontal view. The dress fit her like a glove, and Oliver could not stop his eyes from caressing her neck all the way down to her ankles and back up.

He finally croaked out, "You came!"

Felicity could not resist and she quirked her finger at him telling him to come closer. He leaned down and about spilled his drink.

"Not yet, but I am hoping to later.", she whispered and leaned back taking a sip of her wine, as she looked into his eyes. Felicity had always been confident around him when it came to her work and cars, but this confidence was on a whole different level, and Oliver started sweating. Oliver jumped as he felt a hand slap his shoulder. He finally tore his eyes away from her to see Tommy and Laurel standing next to him. Tommy had a huge grin on his face.

"You going to introduce us?", he asked Oliver, looking pointedly at Felicity.

Oliver swallowed before speaking, and his voice came out husky. "Tommy Merlyn, Laurel Merlyn-Lance, I would like you to meet Felicity Smoak.", he said.

Felicity gave him a funny look before she smiled at Tommy and Laurel. "Nice to meet you both."

Laurel, moved closer to Felicity. "So Tommy tells me your a mechanic. I love that you are in a man's field, and from what I hear, one of the best.", she said with a friendly smile. Felicity gave Tommy a surprised look. He shrugged. "I keep up with what goes on in the racing scene.", he whispered. Felicity smiled. She liked them both.

Oliver fidgeted next to them, as they continued talking and Tommy glanced at him knowingly, before turning to Laurel. "Honey, would you like to dance?", he asked with a smile. Laurel placed her hand in his. "I would love to.", she said, winking at Felicity. Tommy gave her a warm smile, "It was nice to meet you Felicity.", he said before they headed off.

Oliver immediately turned to Felicity, "How about you Miss Smoak? Would you care to dance?", he asked with a smile. Felicity took a sip of her wine and then stood to her feet. Placing her hand in Oliver's elbow she let him lead her to the dance floor. Felicity was nervous because she had not danced a lot in her lifetime, but Oliver made it easy. He was a natural leader, and taking her hand and placing his at her waist, they swayed to the music with ease. It was if they had been dancing together for years.

Oliver leaned down to her ear, "You look stunning Felicity!", he whispered, pulling her close.

Felicity looked around the club. Anyone who was anyone was there. "How did the fundraising go?"

"I am fairly certain that we exceeded our goal.", Oliver said, his voice proud. Felicity was impressed. She was learning fairly quickly that despite the fact that Oliver Queen had more money than he knew what to do with, he didn't act like it. He truly cared about the people of The Glades and that was the last straw for her.

"Umm Oliver?", she asked pressing her body against him as they swayed. "How late do you have to stay here?"

It took Oliver a moment to get what she was asking, "Oh I don't know, I usually stay until.............", his eyes flew down to her face. She was looking right up at him and she slowly licked her lips.

Seeing the look in his eyes, she grabbed his hand, and headed to the door. It was time to go!

John saw them leaving and shaking his head with a smile, indicated to Oliver that he would see him tomorrow. Oliver followed her out of the building and straight to the curb, as she tried to hail a taxi. However, Oliver knew that John had already called for Oliver's limousine, and she looked in surprise as it slowly came to a stop in front of them. Oliver opened the door. "After you Miss Smoak", he said.
