Irresistibly Cute Ch 05

Telling Oliver, Diggle and Roy about their relationship was a necessity. They work together every night and it would be nearly impossible to hide something like that from them, apparently it had been impossible because they had all figured it out.

As 'coming out' to their friends had fast tracked their relationship somewhat Sara suggested they wait a week to tell her Dad and Laurel about them, and although Felicity had mixed feelings about it she agreed to it. Honestly part of her wanted to just get it over with, but she didn't want to push Sara even more, and truth be told she wasn't that eager to talk to her mother. Which was of course her mother's cue for a surprise visit.

*

Normally Felicity and Sara were good about getting up early, but it was a Saturday. One Sara didn't have to work, and on those rare occasions they like to sleep in, cuddle and then have soft, gentle sex followed by more cuddling.

By mid-morning they were only just getting up, which included a extremely light breakfast, followed by taking turns in the bathroom. This time Felicity went first and when she heard the doorbell in the middle of doing her teeth she just assumed it was the mailman or something.

So Felicity thought nothing of spitting into the bowl and calling out, "Babe, could you get that."

Sara groaned in response. She wasn't a morning person, so whoever was knocking better have a good reason too. As that didn't appear to be the case when she opened the door she glared and grumbled, "Who are you?"

"Well, I could ask you the same thing." Donna replied, before rolling her eyes and adding, "I'm Donna Smoak... erm, does my daughter still live here?"

Suddenly awake Sara stammered, "Ye, yes."

"And you are?" Donna asked, stepping into the apartment the second Sara moved aside.

"I'm Sara... Felicity's new roommate." Sara replied. After all, it wasn't a lie.

"So, who was..." Felicity came out of the bathroom holding her toothbrush and exclaimed, "Mom! What are you doing here?"

"I'd thought I'd surprise you with a visit." Donna said cheerily.

"But why so early in the morning?" Felicity exclaimed.

"So you couldn't hide anything from me." Donna said, glancing at Sara, "Like a new roommate."

Felicity blushed, and hated herself for it. But then again her Mom might as well have caught her in bed with Sara given how her Mom knew this tiny apartment was one-bedroom, the couch obviously hadn't been slept in and while Felicity was wearing pyjamas Sara was just wearing a big shirt and panties.

Then again her Mom could be oblivious to certain things, and she wasn't freaking out nearly as much as Felicity assumed she would when confronted with her daughter's new relationship.

Sensing her girlfriend's uncomfortableness with what she was wearing Sara piped up, "Right... I'll go put on some pants."

Donna watched her go and then looked at her daughter, "Soooooo, she seems nice."

"Mom-" Felicity sighed.

"Oh, you have to let me take you both to launch so we can catch up. My treat." Donna said brightly, "I want to hear everything."

"Ok." Felicity tried and failed not to blush.

Luckily Donna didn't notice because she was too busy knocking on the bedroom door that her daughter's 'roommate' had just closed and called out, "Sara sweetie, hurry up and throw on some pants. I'm taking you to launch."

*

For the next few hours her mother just wouldn't leave her alone. Don't get Felicity wrong, she loved her mother, but she was a lot to handle first thing in the morning, and she was worried that this impromptu visit would scare Sara off. After all, Sara had confessed that she wasn't exactly the Queen of commitment, and she had a tendency of running away from her problems.

Then again she seemed to be adapting pretty well, although part of that had to do with her training, the assassin expertly dancing around Mama Smoak's probing questions while still somehow charming the older blonde, in the process making Felicity fall harder for Sara and feel increasingly guilty that her Mom referred to Sara as a roommate, when she was so much more. Felicity wanted to tell her otherwise, but it felt like she should get Sara's permission first.

So the second her mother finally left them for a bathroom break Felicity turned to her girlfriend and blurted out, "I want to tell her the truth."

Sara looked at her for a second, then took her hand in hers, gently squeezed it and said, "Whatever you want babe. Just be sure you're ready."

"I am." Felicity said firmly.

"Good." Sara smiled, then after a beat added, "But there's no shame if you're not. I have some experience telling a single-parent potentially upsetting news, so I know it's never easy, and I'm willing to be your 'roommate' for as long as you need me to be."

Felicity smiled softly, leaned in to press a quick kiss to Sara's lips before telling her girlfriend, "You're the best."

Sara smiled back, a comfortable silence falling between them before they let go of each other's hands and pulled back slightly just before Felicity's Mom returned, and then Sara asked her lover, "Would you like me to go and get us some more drinks?"

Felicity smiled and nodded, "Yes please."

She had got the message loud and clear, but she didn't need Sara here for this, Felicity feeling she had to do this on her own. Sara looked apprehensive for a moment, then returned the smile and got up and headed to the bar about the same time that the older blonde returned, her Mom as talkative as ever when she returned... only it was more than that.

Felicity couldn't believe she hadn't realised it before, but her mother was nervous. Which of course made her nervous in turn, but she quickly forced herself to get over it, and as her Mom showed no sign of slowing down, Felicity decided to just say it.

"Sara's my girlfriend!" Felicity blurted out, interrupting her mother mid-flow. Then just in case her Mom hadn't heard her properly due to how rushed she'd been Felicity's repeated as calmly as she possibly could, "Sara is my girlfriend."

There was a long silence and then Donna said, "I heard you the first time."

Another pause, and then Felicity pushed, "And?"

"And..." Donna said hesitantly before returning to her usual brightness, "That's great sweetie. I always said you should experiment a little."

"It's not an experiment, Mom." Felicity said.

"Are you sure?" Donna asked hesitantly, quickly adding when her daughter looked offended, "It's just, I've seen the way you look at Oliver Queen, and the way he looks at you, and-"

"God, why does everyone think I'm in love with Oliver?" Felicity exclaimed, before adding sternly, "I'm not. And please don't even imply it in front of Sara! She's insecure about Oliver as it is."

"That's probably because she has a reason to be." Donna said.

"Mom!" Felicity whined.

"I'm not saying it's inevitable." Donna quickly clarified, "But I'm telling you, that boy wants you, and there is a very real chance he'll come knocking one day."

"I've thought about that." Felicity insisted, "I know what the answer will be."

"Do you?" Donna pushed before lowering her gaze, and then grumbled, "I didn't think ya Daddy would leave me. But he did. I... I know I'm not as smart as you, but you can't know for sure how you'll react to something."

There was a long pause, and then Felicity asked, "Is the idea of... this, really so horrible?"

"No honey, no!" Donna quickly said, gently grabbing Felicity's hands, "I love you no matter what, and Sara seems like a nice girl. She's smart, funny, and extremely hot. Like, if I was in a certain type of club and in a certain type of mood-"

"Mom! TMI!" Felicity quickly scolded, then when her mother looked confused added, "To much information."

"Oh." Donna nodded in understanding, "The point is I like Sara a lot, and she looks at you like you hung the moon. Which I did notice thank you very much, despite the fact she did a much better job at hiding her feelings than you did."

"Mom!" Felicity blushed.

"What? It's true." Donna grinned, "I knew from the second I walked in on you today that the two of you were together, and she was crazy about you. That's why I like her and don't want to see her get hurt."

"Oh." Felicity murmured, genuinely surprised.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm way more worried about you." Donna quickly added, "But... you've always been very... opinionated. I mean, you're not likely to be bothered by a little bit of bigotry, and you've made it abundantly clear that you'll do what you want no matter what I say. I just... I just want to be sure you know what you want."

"I'm sure." Felicity said forcefully, then adding just as forcefully, "I love her."

Donna beamed, "Really?"

"Yes." Felicity confirmed, before admitting, "But we're not really in the stage of saying it yet."

"But you said it?" Donna grinned.

Felicity blushed, and admitted, "Yeah."

"That's great honey." Donna beamed, gently placing her hand over Felicity's which was resting on the table, "I just want you to be happy."

Felicity smiled, "Me too."

Donna returned the smile, and then when Sara returned told her, "Sara, thank you for making my daughter so happy."

For a moment Sara looked surprised, then she grinned big enough to show her dimples, which morphed into a shy smile, "I, I should be the one thanking you. Felicity's amazing. I'm so lucky to have her."

No longer trying, and apparently failing, to hide her feelings from her mother Felicity spent a few long seconds staring at Sara like the lovesick fool she was becoming, to her delight her girlfriend then returning that look. Felicity then leaned forward and kissed Sara's cheek.

She wanted to do more, and normally she had no problem with PDA, but just because her Mom was happy to tongue kiss her boyfriends in front of her didn't mean that Felicity ever wanted to return the favour. Thankfully Sara knew this and simply gave her a fond smile and then moved a little closer and put her arm around her back.

Ever the sucker for romance her Mom cooed at the small sign of affection and encourage them to kiss properly with an amount of enthusiasm which was typically inappropriate, which was actually a positive sign that her Mom was just treating Sara the same way she treated any of her previous boyfriends.

Of course Felicity politely declined the offer and her Mom proceeded to embarrass her with tales from her lesbian phase, something which unfortunately Felicity had heard before, although at least this time she had Sara's happy smiles to distract her.

*

Typically the older blonde insisted on spending the whole day with them, 'treating them' to a terrible movie, an average restaurant dinner, and worst of all, a shopping spree, and yet Felicity mostly enjoyed the experience. She still struggled to connect with her Mom, but it seemed they had found something in common... a love for Sara Lance.

It got to the point where Felicity was making jokes that she should be worried, and she almost wondered whether she shouldn't joke about it when her Mom was finally saying her goodbyes and hugged Sara harder and longer than her own daughter.

"You take care of my little girl, ya hear." Donna whispered in Sara's ear, before pulling away and telling her daughter, "And you call me more often, or I'll totally end up walking in on you two having sex."

"Mom!" Felicity scolded, before adding, "Seriously, don't do that."

"Then call me.." Donna pushed as she walked through the door her daughter was holding open.

"I will, goodbye." Felicity promised, before shutting the door on her waving mother.

There was a moment's silence and then Sara said dryly, "Well, that was new."

"Why?" Felicity frowned, "Do parents not normally like you?"

Sara shrugged, strolled over to the couch and crashed on it, quickly followed by her girlfriend. Sara really liked Felicity's Mom, but she was even more full of energy then her daughter, and Sara had to agree with her girlfriend that she was exhausting.

Or maybe that's because Sara was more comfortable with running around, fighting crime and even killing people over normal human interaction, that thought making her shift uncomfortably in her seat as she turned on the TV to distract herself. Then after a few minutes Felicity cautiously moved closer to her.

"I find that hard to believe." Felicity said softly after a pause.

"Really?" Sara said, turning her head and giving Felicity her best non-serious wicked look/smirk, "Because I'm kind of going for a 'bad girl you can't bring home to your parents' vibe."

"Yeah, but we both know you're a big softy." Felicity grinned.

Sara pouted, and then she gently bought Felicity's hand up to her mouth and then just before kissing it conceded, "Only for you babe."

Felicity smiled, blushed and then after briefly wondering whether she should drop it pushed, "Seriously, no parent has ever liked you before?"

"Wasn't really an issue." Sara shrugged, before admitting, "I never really got serious with anyone before Nyssa, and her mother was dead and her father didn't care."

"Oh." Felicity nodded, then after debating what to say added, "Well, ya did great today."

"I know." Sara smiled softly, "I'm as surprised as you. I thought for sure I was finally about to hear the 'you're not good enough' speech from a concerned parent."

"Maybe next time." Felicity said that without thinking, her eyes then going wide as Sara gave her an amused expression, pretty much forcing her to quickly babble, "I, I, I just mean, erm, I... my Dad! I haven't seen in years, but he could come back and be super homophobic. Or, like... a super villain or something. But not like a cool super villain, a really lame one, and you'd have to kick his ass, and then when they're dragging him away, he could be like, 'I hate you Canary! And you're not good enough for my daughter'... or something."

As Felicity trailed off Sara tried to decide what she had liked best about that little ramble. How nervous Felicity was in the beginning? How she jumped on the first idea that popped into her head and then really went for it?

The little super villain voice she adopted at the end? Actually it was probably the hand gestures because whenever Felicity broke out the hand gestures it was a sign that she was super nervous, and there was nothing more adorable than super nervous Felicity Smoak. Or to put it another way...

"You're cute." Sara grinned.

Felicity blushed and lowered her head, "You're not mad?"

"No." Sara said without hesitation, then after a pause added, "Unless that was a Freudian slip and you're planning on dumping me."

"God no!" Felicity replied quickly, "No Freudian slips here. No slips of any kind. This is a slip free zone. Unless you count slipping and putting my foot in my mouth, because that's all that was, I swear. I don't want to break up with you. That's the last thing I want. I... I adore you."

After a brief second to digest those words Sara slowly moved forward and whispered, "I adore you too."

With that Sara cautiously straddled Felicity and cupped her face while bringing her own just a few inches away from it. As Felicity leaned into the touch, and even moved upwards slightly, Sara leaned down to kiss her and the two blondes quickly became completely lost in each other.

It wasn't the most passionate, or more accurately frantic, make out session they'd ever had, but Sara absolutely loved it. It was long, slow, sweet and even romantic. After all, Felicity's hands didn't grab her butt for like a full ten minutes. If that wasn't romance Sara didn't know what was.

Not that she minded when Felicity did eventually grab her butt. Exactly the opposite, because it meant they were moving towards sex, and Sara would never, ever complain about getting closer to having sex with Felicity.

Plus it gave her an excuse to feel Felicity up, Sara slipping her hand right under the other blonde's shirt so she could cup Felicity's breasts over the bra. Which normally got a very positive sound out of Felicity, but despite moaning in pleasure into Sara's mouth Felicity then pulled back slightly, breaking the kiss.

"What's wrong?" Sara asked nervously.

"Nothing. It's just..." Felicity struggled to find the words, but as she saw that her words were making Sara nervous she quickly added, "Can I do anything for you? Like, sexually?"

There was a pause and then Sara smirked, "Well-"

"I mean aside from the obvious." Felicity interrupted, then when Sara gave her a look quickly added, "What? You always joke about how... sexually promiscuous you are. Sometimes it makes me wonder whether you're trying to hint at something."

"I'm not." Sara said firmly, before admitting, "Ok, yeah... there are some things I'd like to try-"

"Ah-huh!" Felicity announced triumphantly.

"But not at the cost of our relationship." Sara finished.

"Oh." Felicity murmured, then offered, "Well, what if we start out small?"

Sara thought for a moment, then nodded her head, "Ok."

She then pulled Felicity up with her and started pulling her towards the bedroom, Felicity quickly grabbing the remote control and turning off the TV before turning back to Sara and asking, "Wait, what exactly are you going to do?"

"I think it will be more fun if I show you." Sara grinned, before pulling Felicity into their bedroom and then into her arms, "But I promise you every time we try something new, I'll get you in the mood first."

As she spoke Sara stared lovingly into her eyes. When she finished she lowered her gaze to her lips, and then closed her eyes and then finally leaned in. Felicity did the same and the two blondes kissed again.

It was a kiss Felicity felt like she had been waiting for a lifetime for even though it was only a couple of seconds, and it didn't disappoint. It was soft and gentle, but as passionate as any kiss they'd ever had, and exactly what Felicity wanted right now.

They hadn't been dating, or even known each other, for that long, but Felicity was blown away about how easy it was for Sara to work out what she wanted. Sometimes it felt like Sara knew her better than she did, which was embarrassing but also an incredible plus.

Because as much as Felicity wanted to do anything for Sara as a thank you for being such a wonderful girlfriend today she just wasn't really ready for 'anything' and Sara even gave her a soft and gentle kiss to calm her nerves, which mostly worked. She was still nervous what Sara might have in store for her, but she trusted Sara completely and had no doubt she would enjoy whatever came next.

Technically what came next was stripping off their clothes, and while they'd been having a lot of sex ever since they started dating Felicity was still self-conscious about her body.

Luckily Sara removed her clothes slowly, kissing her nearly the entire time and softly massaging her body in a way which both made her feel comforted and yet sexy, not to mention turned on despite mostly staying away from where Felicity wanted her the most. Best of all Sara encouraged her to remove her clothes too, Felicity eagerly, and a little awkwardly, doing so.

Once they were both naked Sara broke the kiss briefly to shove the bed sheets out of the way and then returned to the kiss while gently lowering Felicity onto what was formerly her bed, but was now their bed. In their room, in their apartment, the thought of that making Felicity all warm inside as the kiss slowly became more intense.

Then Sara broke away for good in favour of kissing her neck, the mighty Canary spending almost as much time on her neck as she had on her lips, leaving a little hicky in the process, the stronger blonde marking her territory. Oh that thought definitely made Felicity warm inside, but in a different way.

Sara tried not to think of it as marking her territory, cause Felicity was her own person, a person Sara loved very much. However in the heat of the moment it was hard to think of anything else, and while Sara hadn't been particularly territorial with other lovers she was definitely that way with Felicity.
