And then you walked into my life

Untitled Part 18

"OTIS!"

Felicity heard Oliver's voice coming from the living room as she finished getting dressed. It had been three weeks since she had given her notice to Oliver and QC and being a dog walker again was as wonderful as she remembered. Her app work was starting to get noticed and she was starting to build a customer base with requests coming in frequently. Felicity had worked late last night so Oliver had let her sleep in this morning, and she had been shocked to see the time when she woke.

She quickly showered and dressed and walked down the hall in her pink t-shirt, tight jeans and pink chucks. She stopped and stifled a giggle when she saw Oliver on the floor, sitting with his back against the couch. He was staring at an empty plate and Otis was chewing as if his life depended on it. He had stolen Oliver's sandwich.

Oliver glared at the little puppy who had finished the sandwich and was now sniffing around as if there was more food he was missing.

Felicity stifled a laugh as she looked at Oliver's glare. She walked straight over to Otis and scratched him under the chin as his tail wagged. "Are you being a bad little puppy this morning?"

Oliver glared even more as he heard the baby voice Felicity was using and he had to say he was just a little jealous that Felicity was taking the puppies side.

She stood and crossed her arms looking down at Oliver with a grin. He stood up and kissed her quickly, before she could say a word.

"Otis needs to be taught some manners." Oliver grumbled as he walked to the kitchen and set his empty plate in the sink. "That is the second sandwich he has stolen from me this week."

Felicity laughed. "I warned you about holding your food where he can grab it."

"He should know better."

Felicity followed him and pulled the bread out of the cabinet to make herself a sandwich. "He is just a puppy." She took some turkey and cheese that Oliver had set out on a plate and then some lettuce and tomato.

Oliver grabbed her sandwich and took a bite with a wolfish grin. Felicity snatched it back out of his hand and took her own bite as he walked back into the living room. "Maybe he gets that move from you."

"So, what do you have going on today?" Oliver spoke over his shoulder as he walked into the living room.

Felicity shrugged. "I was up late last night working on the app for QC. Today I have six dogs to walk and then I am going to do some testing of the app."

"How is it coming?"

"Once I test it today, I will be ready to beta test it. You up for that?"

"Absolutely. Just send me the link when you are ready."

Oliver had approached Felicity about a week after she left QC and hired her to create an app that would allow the employees to access all their work files remotely. The company had been working on this for months, and when Felicity said she could put something together within a couple of weeks the board of QC had been thrilled. With more and more employees working from home the app was a must.

Oliver pulled his suit jacket off the back of the couch. "Well I have two meetings today and then I am running to the store to get groceries for dinner."

"Oh, that is right, Tommy is coming for dinner."

"You still good with that. I can call him and tell him we need to reschedule." He pulled his collar out of his coat as he walked toward her.

"No, tonight is fine. It's been awhile since you have seen him." She leaned up and kissed him before he grabbed his keys from the side table.

"Are you sure?"
