Chapter 2.

Ally was sitting in her house, reading through a magazine when her phone rang, she picked it up seeing Laurel's name flash on the screen.

"Hello?" she asked with a smile.

"Well hello there Allison" Laurel said.

"What's up?" Ally asked getting up from the seat.

"Party tonight, you in?" Laurel asked.

"Sure...where?" Ally asked.

"Oliver's new club, Oliver gave Tommy a job as General Manager"

"Oh...um okay time at?" Ally asked.

"About 7"

"Laurel that's in two hours"

"You don't take that long to get ready" Laurel said.

"Oh...Laurel" Ally whined into the phone.

"See you at Seven"

"You'e lucky I love you" Ally said and Laurel laughed before the phone line went dead.

Ally moved quickly and went up the stairs to go for a shower. After she got out brushing her long brown hair back as the water dripping down her back making her shiver. There was a sudden chill and she looked around, feeling that someone was watching her.

"Hello?" She asked but got no answer.

She rolled her eyes and then dried herself off and got dressed and headed downstairs, she almost jumped out of her skin when the door was chapped loudly, she went over to it cautiously and answered it. She scowled. "What are you doing here?"

"Hello to you too Ally" He said.

"No seriously oliver, what are you doing here?"

"i'm here to pick you up" He said with a smile.

"Pick me up?" She asked "For what?"

"Our date...didn't Laurel tell you?" He asked rasing his eyebrow.

Ally choked "Our what?"

"Double date" He smirked.

"no..see I didn't agree to that" Ally said shaking her head.

"Right..." He nodded "Laurel didn't say it was a double date?"

"No she asked if I wanted to go to a party with her and Tommy at your..." She trailed off "Oh"

"So..are you ready?"

"She said seven" Ally said raising her eyebrows.

"So you're not ready?"

Ally sighed, annoyed and frustrated "You can come in" she said through clenched teeth. He smiled slightly and entered her house and he looked around.

"Hasn't changed much"

"Neither have some people" Ally said shutting the door.

"Is that a dig at me?" He asked turning to face her.

"No of course it is" She said and he smiled at her.

There was something about his smile that made her heart beat flutter and she almost choked at the thought. She looked away from his gaze and went past him into the living room.

"So" he began and she turned to look at him "Are you going to give me the oppertunity?"

She frowned "oppertunity for what?" She asked.

"A second chance?" he asked "You never gave me a direct answer yesterday"

She sighed heavily and rolled her eyes "I'll see how your behaviour is tonight" She smirked looking down.

He laughed causing her to blush and she excused herself from the rom to fix her hair. She stared at herself in the mirror for a moment before chewing on her lip, what the hell was Laurel up to?


When the two entered the club, Ally spotted Laurel and Tommy straight away and the two of them walked over to Laurel and Tommy. Laurel smiled when she saw them and patted Tommy's shoulder and the four of them stood face to face.

"So...how are we all?" Tommy smiled.

"Just great" Ally smiled sarcastically.

"Uh, guy's will you excuse us for a minute" laurel said excusing the two of them and the two walked away from Oliver and Tommy. "So..."

"So...you lied to me Laurel" Ally said crossing her arms over her chest.

"I know...I know I'm sorry" She said "It was just that both Tommy and I knew you would say no"

"If you had asked I might've said yes actually"

"So you like Oliver?"

"No"

"Then why would you have-"

"You're right I probably wouldn't have but that still doesn't mean that lying to me is ok.."

"I know" she sighed "He just needs someone to talk to"

"Why can't you do it?" Ally asked.

"Because...that's weird" She said shaking her head.

"He and I have never ever gotten on laurel and you know it, why try and make us be friends now"

"He's different" She said in a hushed whisper and Ally caught Oliver and Tommy glancing over at the two of them and rolled her eyes.

"Really?"

"yeah...he's not...he's not that Oliver anymore...no matter how hard he tried to portray himself to be he's not"

"Then he's yours"

"I'm with Tommy"

"Laurel" Ally began but was cut off.
"Please...let's just have a good night, do this, for me?"

Ally bit her lip and scowled at her best friend "I hate that I love you sometimes"

The two walked back over and as the for seemed to chat away, for Ally it became easier to talk to him as much as she hated to admit it.


After a good three or four hours of sitting it was starting to get late, and both Laurel and Ally were very drunk, to the point where they were both giggling at nothing.

"I think it's time..we take them home" Tommy murmered.

"I agree" oliver smiled.

They weren't very sober themselves but they knew what they were doing and Oliver could get Ally home safely because he'd already texted Diggle to come pick the two of them up.

"You want me to call a taxi?" Oliver asked his best friend.

Tommy hiccuped slightly "Urgh...yeah man that would...be good"

Oliver laughed and pulled out his phone, calling the number and ordering a taxi. He got a text telling him that Diggle was outside. He helped Ally to her feet and turned to Tommy who was sitting with Laurel "Taxi should be soon" he said and Tommy nodded at him. He walked out with Ally and then helped her into the back of Diggle's car.

"Where to?"

"The house at the end of Carson" He said nodding at Diggle.

When they got to the house, a newly sobered up Oliver got out of the car and pulled Ally with him, pulling her so she was in his arms. He looked down at her and she smiled back up at him.

"You're right..." She said to him.

"I'm right? About what?"

"People do...deserve second chances" She mumbled and he put her on her feet and she stumbled slightly and he caught her before she fell flat on her face. She laughed and pushed herself back "You wanna come in?"

he raised his eyebrows "Never thought I'd hear that" he laughed.

"Shut up Queen" She muttered darkly before unlocking her front door "you comin' in or not?"

"Sure" he mumbled and she walked in and he waved to Diggle that he'd be ten minutes.

He followed her in and shut the door he just had to make sure she didn't puke everywhere and when he walked into the living room she'd toppled over the arm of the couch and was lying on her back her right arm dangling of the black leather couch. He smiled slightly, he'd only ever seen her like this once and that had probably been the only time she'd spoke to him aswell s he decided to press his chance.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her.

"I'm okay" she mumbled.

"How about, tomorrow afternoon, I take you to Big Belly Burgers" He said "As a way of showing you I deserve a second chance"

She looked up at him, her brown eyes meeting his and she smirked slightly "Why will you not stop trying?"

"Not until you give me the chance" he smirked.

"Never thought you would try so hard for anything" She said with a frown but she closed her eyes and patted his face "But if it makes you happy then sure.." She rolled over onto her side and Oliver smirked slightly, he knew that she wouldn't remember any of this in the morning so he'd surprise her yet again. It was her reactions that he enjoyed watching, just how she reacted earlier when learning that she'd be his date for the night she'd almost choked.

"See you tomorrow Ally" He said and brushed a strand of hair from her face.

She nodded "bye" and he left the house.

He couldn't wait for the next day, his arrival at her house to pick her up for lunch, and it was all just to see the look on her face...

UNTIL NEXT TIME...
