Recipe for Romance-Chapter 2
It’s finally done! Sorry for the wait, guys! I hope some fluff will help everyone deal after this week’s episode. Full on fluff warning!
Nervous energy flowed through Oliver’s blood as he walked the rows of corn. Lyla, sick of his pacing and constant checking of the clock, had kicked him out of his kitchen. Without a definitive task, he’d found himself wandering his crops,calling on every relaxation technique he could think of to try and calm down.
It wasn’t working.
Damn Thea and her insistence on meddling in his life. Ever since she’d told him about inviting Felicity to the farm, Oliver had been torn between irritation and excitement at seeing Felicity again despite his best intentions. He knew this crush had on her was ridiculous. Even without the boyfriend, she was completely out of his league. From their weekly conversations, Oliver had discovered that she was smart, like scary smart and while Oliver was smart, he knew there was no way he could measure up to her intelligence. He was afraid that the more time he spent with her, the faster she would realize how out of his league she really much.
Plus, there was Barry, Oliver thought, stopping to look at his almost ripe eggplants before leaning in tug out some weeds. He really wanted to hate the guy, but hating Barry would be like hating a puppy. The man was so earnest and eager and clearly smart enough to keep up with Felicity.
Thinking about Felicity and Barry made Oliver so distracted that it took him several minutes to realizes the weeds he’d been pulling weren’t weeds after all. Shaking his head in disgust at his carelessness, Oliver tried to repair the damage before leaving the poor plants alone.
I’m on a fluffy marshmallow cloud right now. Still smiling!!! That was perfectly fluffy. Puppies! Clueless Oliver! Adorable Felicity! Winking Tommy! *sigh* I LOVED it!! You did such an awesome job, Lynn. The stool…*giggles* - that was so great! I’m happy they’re on the same page now! Woo!
