To Dance with a Prince

Untitled Part 8

Oliver had arrived to take Felicity to work and the bar had been busy when they arrived. He settled on a barstool at the end of the bar in a hoodie and jeans and sipped a beer while Felicity got to work. People had noticed him, but it was almost as if they did not believe the Prince would be sitting in a bar drinking a beer, so no one had approached him, which suited him just fine.

However, as he sat sipping his second beer a beautiful young lady saw him sitting by himself and she slid onto the bar stool next to him. Oliver gave her a polite smile and then continued to watch Felicity, so the woman turned to get his attention.

"My name's Amanda, what is yours?" she said and waved for Felicity.

Oliver looked at the woman and deciding not to give her his real name said, "Jonas."

Felicity approached and the woman ordered a martini before she turned back to Oliver. Felicity caught his eye and he shrugged not sure what he should do.

"So, Jonas, are you here alone?" The woman gave him a sexy smile but before he could respond he heard a voice behind him say, "No, he's not alone, he is with us. And I would advise you to get your skank ass up from that stool and leave."

Oliver turned to see Sara and Nyssa and he gave a sigh of relief. Felicity placed the martini in front of the girl and she looked at Sara and then at Nyssa and then winked at Oliver before she walked away.

"You owe us a beer for saving your man Smoak." Sara said with a grin and then took the seat next to Oliver. Nyssa placed her arm around Oliver's shoulders and glared at the woman that was watching them before she smiled at Felicity.

"What would you do without us Lis?"

Felicity shook her head laughing and walked to the cooler to get them each a beer as they proceeded to question Oliver. He smiled as they asked him his intentions toward Felicity and then told him about how they met her, and he had to admit he was enjoying their company. The ladies were definitely a force to be reckoned with and he could see how Slade had been swept away. Sara was bubbly and vivacious and he found he liked her sense of humor, while Nyssa was the more serious of the two and he found her grounded and intriguing.

Felicity kept an eye on them as she served her patrons, and it made her smile when she saw her friends and Oliver laughing and having a good time. She knew Sara and Nyssa could be a little overwhelming but Oliver was taking it all in stride and when he caught her eye, he winked at her with a smile.

Sara talked him into doing shots, and soon the trio was laughing as they downed their third shot.

The bar started to empty out as the evening wore on and Felicity finally had a small break. She walked over to her friends and when Oliver saw her approach, he smiled a lopsided smile and said, "Felicity. I thought you had forgotten I was here." He smiled. "She's so pretty, isn't she pretty?" Sara and Nyssa smiled as they both agreed.

Felicity could tell he was a little tipsy and she gave Sara and Nyssa a stern look.

"What?" Sara said. "The Prince agreed to the shots."

Felicity sighed and walked over to the coffee pot. She still had two hours left of work and she felt like Oliver had enough. She placed a black coffee in front of him and he wrinkled his nose.

"Drink it." she said and moved to take care of a customer that walked into the bar.

Sara and Nyssa eventually left for the evening and Oliver sipped on his coffee as Felicity handled the few customers that were left. She eventually walked back over to him and grinned.

"So how are you feeling?"

"Better, thanks." He said and sipped his coffee. "Those two are quite a pair."
