To Dance with a Prince

Untitled Part 3

Felicity slept late the next morning. She placed her phone on "vibrate" in case Sara called and when she opened her eyes and saw the sun shining brightly, she smiled. It had worked. However, when she picked up her phone and saw 7 missed calls from Sara she had to laugh. She looked down and saw 3 texts and grinned.

S: Did Prince Hunky take you home last night?

S: Are you ignoring me Lis?

S: If I don't hear from you within the hour, I can only assume you are dead or he is there, and I will come drag your ass out of bed.

Felicity grinned before she responded mischievously.

F: I am not dead.

She turned off her phone, and stretched. She knew Sara and Nyssa would be arriving at her apartment within the hour and so she crawled out of bed and climbed into the shower. She dressed quickly and as if on cue she heard her doorbell. She opened her door and smirked as Sara walked straight passed her and into her bedroom. She grinned at Nyssa as Sara came back out shaking her head with a grin.

"You are all kinds of wrong." Sara said and Felicity started laughing.

"He walked me home last night and that was it." Felicity closed the door and plopped down on her couch. She was off today so she planned on doing absolutely nothing. Nyssa sat next to her and Sara sat in a chair, propping her feet on the coffee table. Felicity swatted her feet down.

"So, he just walked you home?" Nyssa asked.

"Yes, he was very sweet actually. We have decided we are friends." Felicity pulled over a pillow and started playing with the fabric. Sara tried to catch her eye but Felicity would not budge.

"Friends?" Sara said.

"Friends with benefits.......or....." Nyssa said.

"No!" Felicity said. "He doesn't think of me like that. I think he is just lonely and he enjoys my company."

Sara laughed out loud. "Umm Felicity? News flash. Someone who looks at someone the way he looks at you is not interested in just being your friend."

"What are you talking about? He doesn't look at me in any special way." she huffed.

Nyssa shook her head, "Oh Felicity, you are so in denial."

"We are friends. Nothing else." Felicity said and stood to walk to the kitchen. It was aggravating that they did not believe her. Or was it aggravating her that he said he wanted to just be friends?

"Listen, let's not talk about this anymore. How about we order pizza and binge on some rom coms?" Felicity said.

She ordered the pizza and they settled down to watch some movies, but her mind kept wandering to Prince Oliver. She wondered what he was doing today?

***

Oliver walked towards his Father's office after a receiving a message from Slade that Robert wanted to see him. He knocked on the door and waited, as always, for Robert to call him in and he entered, closing the door behind him.

"Sir. Slade told me you wanted to see me." Oliver said standing straight and tall.

"Have a seat son." King Robert walked behind his desk and sat down, his eyes not leaving Oliver.

"So, where were you last night?" Robert asked.

"What do you mean?" Oliver looked at his Dad directly. He knew exactly what his Dad was referring to, but he wasn't going to say it.
