Chloe looks at her sympathetically.
Chloe: (Sympathetically) I'm so sorry this happened Lois.
Lois: Thanks yeah but it's better that I know now than down the road right? Otherwise it would've been stupid me going out with someone who doesn't love me anymore.
Going round Chloe Lois leaves the coffee shop.

Moving forward Oliver comes up close to her.
Oliver: I know but you always call me Oliver. What's different this time?
Kara: The difference is things between us are different. Now if you'll excuse me I've work to do.
Turning round she walks out leaving Oliver breathing heavily.
Queen Penthouse Few Days Later
Sitting on the floor Kara's sifting through crater information picking up certain pieces of paper then putting them down again. Oliver stares on. Looking up she notices him.
Kara: What?
Oliver smiles.
Oliver: (Smiling) Nothing.
Lowering her head Kara goes back to what she was doing. She sees him still looking at her.
Kara: (Nervous) Oliver.
Oliver: What?
Kara: (Nervous) Would you stop staring at me please. It's making me feel creepy.
He smiles at her.
Oliver: (Smiling) Why? Can't I not look at you Kara?
Kara: (Nervous) Yes but not like that.
Oliver: Fine I won't do it then.
Resuming her actions she doesn't see him get up outta his seat & go over to her. Sitting down in front of Kara Oliver wildly kisses her. Backing away Kara's shocked.
Kara: (Shocked) Jesus Oliver what the hell you doing?
Oliver appears confused.
Oliver: (Confused) What do you think?

Walking of she goes upstairs.
Oliver's Office Next Morning
Oliver's talking on the phone to AC.
Oliver: I don't know what the problem is.
AC: Have you tried talking to her?
Oliver: Yes but she won't listen. She's knows me & Lois have split but when I get close to her she backs away.
AC: Why's this?
Oliver: I don't know. Maybe she doesn't like me.
AC: Oh I'm sure that's not it Oliver. Kara said she liked you in the past didn't she?
Oliver: Then why's she been like this?
AC: Maybe she's scared.
Oliver's contrived.
Oliver: (Contrived) Of what. I know who she really is. I don't care that she's poor not rich. She's everything to me. Her voice, her smile, her hair, her personality.
AC: Yeah but has she ever been like this?
Oliver: Been what?
AC: In love truly?
Oliver: Well Kara's had relationships before but they haven't panned out.
AC: Then maybe that's it. Maybe she's never experienced this before & feels scared it won't last & guilty also about what she's done to Lois.
Oliver realizes something.
Oliver: So maybe I should slow it down then & tell her she shouldn't feel like that.
AC: Exactly.
Queen Penthouse That Evening
Kara's curled up on the couch watching a film. Oliver comes in.
Oliver: Hey Kara what you watching?
Kara: Mermaids starring Winona Ryder, Cher & Christina Ricci.
Sitting down beside her Oliver looks at the TV.
Oliver: It's a chick flick.
Kara looks at him.
Kara: A very good chick flick. She's afraid of committing to him.
She points to Cher & Bob Hoskins characters. Oliver looks at her.
Oliver: Why's that?
Kara turns to him.
Kara: Because she's a commit a phobic. She's rarely been in a full blown relationship. She's scared at getting too close to people because they always up & leave her. & at the first sign of trouble she ups & bolts with her kids which they don't like very much.
Oliver answers trying to make sure it doesn't sound like he's talking about her.
Oliver: Then maybe they should stay there. Maybe she should talk about her feelings for him.
Kara: She's too stubborn so she'd never do that.
Oliver: But then how will she ever get pass her fears if she doesn't talk about them.
Turning left Kara looks at him. Moving closely in Oliver kisses her carefully. Kara scared tries backing off but Oliver stops her. Opening her mouth up he slips his tongue inside & caresses her gently there. Holding onto her Oliver lifts himself up & fits down on top of Kara. Pushing her slowly back Oliver clutches on tightly to Kara & delves deeper inside. Bringing his hands up against her vest he touches Kara lovingly. Lowering them to the bottom Oliver places his hands underneath making her gasp feeling them on her bare skin. Travelling up Oliver brings them to her breasts causing her to part from him. Circling his hands Oliver draws spirals around them. Leaning forward again he slowly resumes what he was doing before.

Kara: Huh?
Oliver: Into the bed then up against the pillow.
Kara: Okay.

Kara replies as if in a dream.
Kara: & great for dancing also.
Taking her from behind Oliver looks down at Kara. The 2 of them sway as they hear Avril Lavigne's "Keep Holding On" in the distance. Turning Kara round they both start dancing round the ledge.
Verse 1
You're not alone together we stand I'll be by your side you know I'll take your hand.
When it gets cold & it feels like the end there's no place to go you know I won't give in no I won't give in.
As the chorus plays Oliver & Kara slowly lift off from the ground.
Chorus
Keep holding on cause you know we'll make it through make it through.
Just stay strong cause you know I'm here for you I'm here for you.
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do there's no other way when it comes to the truth.
So keep holding on cause you know we'll make it through we'll make it through.
Oliver noticing this looks on a little scared. The 2 of them circle the air with Kara holding onto them both.
Metropolis Sky
Verse 2
So far away I wish you were here before it's too late this could all disappear.
Before the doors close & it comes to an end. With you by my side I will fight & defend. I will fight & defend.
Circling higher they come amongst the clouds.
Clouds
Chorus
Keep holding on cause you know we'll make it through, make it through.
Just stay strong cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you.
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do there's no other way when it comes to the truth.
So keep holding on cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.
White mists swirl around as Kara & Oliver stay afloat here.
Verse 3
Hear me say when I say I believe nothing's goanna change, nothing goanna change destiny.
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The instrumental part plays as the 2 spin round slowly.

As the song ends Oliver & Kara kiss.
Oliver's Bedroom
Divesting their clothes they fall onto the bed. Lying on top Oliver kisses Kara slowly as his hands roam round her body. Kara moaning does the same thing on Oliver's back. Moving sideways he kisses her neck sensuously. Arching upwards Kara presses against Oliver. Pulling away Oliver slowly kisses Kara's body taking in everything about her. Kara wraps her hands round Oliver. Coming down to her curls Oliver lifts Kara's leg up & delves forward inside. Feeling his tongue moving against her Kara moans turning her head rightwards. Speeding his actions up Oliver goes faster as the heat inside Kara builds up. Not been able to hold on any longer Kara spills herself inside him. Resting himself against Kara's belly the 2 of them stay like that & calm down. Coming back up Oliver looks at Kara deeply. Lowering himself Kara feels him press against her. Settling his head beside her Oliver moves slowly inside Kara. Feeling this sensation Kara gasps slightly. Waiting after a while Oliver rocks up & down her gently. Laying back Kara just feels what's happening to her. Turning her towards him Oliver looks on for Kara's reaction. Leaning forward he slowly kisses her. Feeling his tongue against her Kara moans placing her right hand on his cheek. Lifting her right leg upwards Oliver slides further inside Kara deepening the kiss. Coming away a while afterwards he rests his head on Kara's face as he speeds his actions up. Not able to hold on any longer Oliver spills himself inside her. Slowing down they both come to a quiet resolution.
Oliver: I love you Kara.
Oliver says resting against her. Kara smiles holding onto him.
Kara: (Smiling) I love you to Oliver.
Closing their eyes they drift of to sleep soon afterwards.
The End
