Chapter 2

Chloe hasn't been his wife for a little over half a year but like he said before, he would always love her. He knew that he would always care about her so when he heard through the grapevines that she almost got herself kill last night trying to find a lead in her latest story, he made sure to see her that morning. He knew that he could always catch her at the Daily Planet but since he did not want anymore unwanted attention in the media about his relationship with his ex-wife, he decided that he would go find her at her usual coffee shop. He knew that the coffee shop would be the perfect place to talk to Chloe since it was a very low key place and most of the people there would usually too busy to pay any attention to them. Whenever they were seen out in public together, the paper would usually throw out some story about them getting back together again or about them trying to rekindle their love for each other. Despite his want for this to happen he knew that he had to give Chloe some time. After all that happen and everything that he did, he didn't want to put on any pressure.

Oliver stood on the corner across the street from the Metro Café. Normally Chloe would usually be sitting in alone at her usually table on the patio near were her car was parked. However, today there was man sitting with Chloe. He was wearing a dark black suit and had dark black hair that was short and combed back. Oliver felt this rage in the pit of his stomach begin to rise and without knowing why, he just want to punch this complete stranger to him in the face. As he steps closer to them he could hear them speak.

"I broke your case for you." he heard Chloe say matter-of-factly but also a hint of something that he could not figure out.

"But I saved your life." the man said flirtatiously. "If you were murder last night, I would still have broken the case anyways."

"So you think you would have been able to solve this case without me?" In all the time that Chloe has been Watchtower, Oliver has always given her the credit that she so dearly deserved.

"I would have eventually found enough evidence to put them always because I would never let your murder get away. I would have done everything in my power to make sure that justice is served because it would be such a great sorrow if the world was to lose such a wonderful person such as you." Although Oliver completely agreed with him, he wanted to gag on his breakfast that was threatening to come back up due to the sickening cheesiness of the man.

"I'm sure you say that to every girl." Oliver was glad that Chloe hadn't fell for this guy's act.

Oliver could see the man reach for Chloe's hand and he spoke and a serious tone. "I do say this about every case I work on because I make every case personal but just something about you make it different. I think what is different about this case is you."

Oliver could see Chloe face grow bright red. He couldn't stand anymore of this. Oliver cleared his throat, announcing his present to the couple. "Hey, Chloe."

Chloe quickly pulled her hand away from the man. "Oh Oliver, I didn't know that you were in town."

"I just go in last night." Oliver said and then turning to the other man. now that he was closer, Oliver could see that this man seemed to be in his late twenties and he was actually handsome in his own right.

"Oh, let me introduce you two. Oliver this is William Thatcher, Metropolis' youngest district attorney. Will this is…."

"Oliver Queen. I'm not sure if you remember but we actually graduated from Yale together. I believe we had a class together considering law school and business school doesn't cross path all that much."

"I can't say that I remember much from my college years considering how most of the time I was either drunk or high."

"Of course," Will wasn't smug in his response but rather polite. He stood up and shook Oliver's hand. "However, I hate to cut this meeting short but I have to get to the office. It was nice to meet you Oliver." he quickly bended down and kiss Chloe on the cheek. "Thank you for the enjoyable coffee and the conversation."

Before he got too far Chloe call his name stopping and turning back to face her. "I'll see you here same time tomorrow." Chloe said with a little smile on her tomatoes color face. He gave a little nod and continues on his way.

"I see that you have a new hero in your life now. Are you trying to get him into our little club?"

Chloe had her cup of coffee half way but put it back down. "He isn't our type of hero."

"Oh yes that right he is Metropolis' youngest district attorney. It sounds like you really admire him."

"I think he is just like us. In the past months that I've been working on this case I had to interact a lot with Will. He is working hard to bring justice to those who need it. He has won the majority of his case because he is so dedicated. It's not hard to find him admirable."

Oliver gave a little smile. "He seems to really admire you too."

"It's just coffee."

Oliver put his hand on top of Chloe's hand. "It's okay if it becomes more. This guy seems like a good guy. He saved your life last night, from what I heard."

"He took a bullet to the shoulder for me so having coffee with him is the least I can do for him."

"You never know where coffee may lead to. I already like him." Chloe gave a confused look. "He saved your life and disregard his own and that makes me like him already." Oliver stood up. "I have a business to run so I will see you later." He gave Chloe a kiss on the cheek and whispered into her ears, "Give the guy a chance." Before Chloe could respond, Oliver was already walking away.
