And then you walked into my life

Untitled Part 8

Felicity sat at the bar the next morning drinking coffee and thinking about the night before. It had been wonderful. Despite his stoic face Oliver was a loving and caring man. She smiled as she thought back to Otis who was now laying with Pascal in that same bit of fluff he had pulled from the pillow. Luckily no other furniture was harmed during the night, but Oliver was going to have to work on spending a little time with the pup.

She felt arms slide around her waist and tilted her head when Oliver's scruff scraped her neck. He kissed her pulse point before walking into the kitchen for his own cup of coffee.

"I see you found the coffee." Oliver poured his cup and pulled bread from the cabinet.

"I can sniff out coffee from a mile away. It's my addiction." She sipped the warmth in her cup and smiled. It was good coffee.

"Would you like some breakfast?" Oliver moved around the kitchen as if he had been doing it all his life. He was very at home cooking.

"Actually, I don't have time. I have another client I have to go walk in about 30 minutes."

Oliver turned to her surprised. He had been hoping they could spend a quiet morning together. Felicity finished her coffee and walked her mug to the sink. She leaned up and kissed Oliver who was sipping his with a thoughtful expression.

"I thought after finished with my client I would come by your office and you can show me around." She looked up at him with a serious expression. She wanted to look at the facility and see what she had agreed to run.

Oliver set his mug on the counter and pulled her into his arms. "Ok, but we are going to dinner tonight. I think you and Tommy need to have a real meeting." He leaned down and kissed her and she grinned as she slipped out of his arms and started down the hall. "Are you sure you want us to meet? I mean Tommy did ask me out."

Oliver frowned and Felicity threw him a glance over her shoulder as she disappeared down the hall.

Oliver knew Tommy was a flirt, but he also knew his friend respected him and even if he did flirt with Felicity this evening it would fun not serious. Oliver took his toast and sat down at the bar. He was going to eat a quick breakfast and then take Otis for a walk. Felicity had stated that Otis was acting out because he wanted attention. So, this morning he was going to give him some attention.

Oliver walked into the office a few hours later whistling and carrying two cups of coffee from the neighborhood coffee shop. Today Felicity was coming by to check out QC's facilities. He had contacted HR to make sure her contract was ready, and he was hoping to introduce her to the team.

Ms. Walker was waiting dutifully at her desk and she smiled and held up an envelope when he approached.

"HR brought up the paperwork you requested Mr. Queen."

"Thank you, Ms. Walker. Ms. Smoak will be here shortly, so please show her right in when she gets here." He took the envelope under his arm and walked into his office.

Felicity arrived at Queen Consolidated and approached the security desk. As soon as she gave her name she was pointed in the direction of the elevators and told to take them to the 35th floor. She looked around pleasantly surprised as Queen Consolidated was a very nice building. Shining marble shone on the floors and walls and specifically selected art hung around the foyer. The elevators were super quiet, and she looked up from her phone in surprise as she arrived at her floor just a few seconds later.

She walked out reservedly and approached the only desk she saw nearby. There was a pleasant looking woman sitting at the desk and when she saw Felicity, she gave her a warm smile.
