Chapter Three

Ollie took in a deep breath, catching the scent of Lois' shampoo. It wasn't as sweet as he remembered Chloe's to be, Chloe's was like jasmine, not as strong just enough to fill your senses and make your brain want to remember the scent forever.

"Ollie…Ollie you are not even listening to me." The sound of annoyed Lois filled the apartment.

They had met up to watch a movie and have a quiet night in but Ollie had found it difficult to concentrate for most of the evening with his mind wandering off to all things Chloe.

"Sorry baby I just have a lot on with work at the minute. Forgive me." He lowered his head and placed a small kiss on her head.

"As I was saying," Lois continued. "I thought it might be cool to go out on a double date with Clark and Chloe. So I have arranged to go this weekend, you don't have anything on do you?"

Oliver shifted uncomfortable on the sofa. He wasn't even aware Clark and Chloe we're an item and the thought alone angered him, let alone spending a whole evening watching them paw at one another. He shook his head. What was he thinking? He'd kissed the girl twice, they weren't in a relationship and he was dating her cousin for Christ sake!!

"Is that a no you don't have anything on or a no you don't want to go?" Lois sat from his lap and pulled a questioning look.

"No we can go. I just wasn't aware Chloe and Clark was an item! "

"You really haven't been listening to me have you? They're not but I'm sick of watching the pair of them pull doe eyed looks at one another and Smallville really needs to wake up and realize how much Chloe and him should be together."

"So what you're trying to say is that you thought you'd play cupid?" He stood up and made his way over to the fridge to refill his glass.

"Well yes but Ollie it's so frustrating." She spun around and kneeled on the sofa, looking back at him. "Why do I get the feeling you don't approve?"

"It's not I don't approve, I just don't want it to back fire and you end up getting hurt." He walked closer to the back of the sofa. "But if you really think it's a good idea then sure!"

"Excellent I'll call them and set it up." She pulled him in for a kiss but for Ollie it didn't seem to have the same magic as the last two kisses to meet his lips. "I better get going, I have an early start."

"You're not staying?" He questioned.

"No I have a lead on the green arrow case and you haven't exactly been Mr Conversation this evening."

"Sorry Lois."

"Hey it's cool part of the deal with dating a serious business man. I get it." She kissed his cheek and grabbed her jacket. "I'll call you in the morning." And with that she left the apartment.

"No Lois I'm not going on a date. I'd love to go out with you guys but Clark and I are just friends, isn't that right Clark? "Chloe looked up from the pile of paperwork on her office desk to the man perched on the end of it. She found herself wondering what the Green Arrow would look like dressed in every day clothing, did he blend into the world like Clark did so easily.

Clark seemed to be deep in thought and looked pretty upset at how quickly Chloe had dismissed the idea of them going on a date.

'Just friends' he had heard that term a lot lately and just recently it had began to bother him.

He smiled catching Chloe's Green eyes as they sparkled in the light.

"Yep we're JUST friends." He nodded." But Movie and dinner sounds good to me."

"Great well if we get to the restaurant for 8pm Saturday. Ollie managed to get us a table at 'The Winchester'. You know that really nice new place that just opened."

"That's cool." Chloe smiled continuing to busy herself with her papers.

"So that's settled and I'm off to go interview a security guard, Apparently there was a sighting of our green arrow friend last night."

"Your not still trying to unmask him, are you Lois? I thought you would have got bored and moved on by now."

"Listen Smallville, when are you going to take me seriously about this guy?" She threw her bag over her shoulder, muttered "I'll see you later Chloe." and continued the argument with Clark as they walked to the elevator and disappeared from view.

Chloe became so wrapped up in typing up her notes from what she had seen the night before at the warehouse, she didn't notice the fed ex guy standing at her desk until he muttered a small "Excuse me miss." and passed her a tiny package to sign for.

Chloe set it on the desk in front of her hesitantly. She opened the brown wrapping to reveal a small jewellery box and gift card which simply read, To Tink.

Opening the box she found a delicate but detailed silver charm in the shape of a fairy attached to a silver chain. It was pretty and she couldn't help but smile.

Taking it out of the box she fastened it to her wrist and stared at it admiringly. Maybe the Green Arrow had been thinking about her as much as she had him.

"Chloe were going to be late." Clark called from the sofa, he had arrived twenty minutes ago and Chloe still wasn't ready.

"Just give me 5 more seconds. We don't all have the ability to super speed you know." She mocked appearing from the bathroom.

"Wow Chloe, you look nice tonight." Clark said sincerely standing to help her fasten the clasp on her necklace that she was struggling with.

"Thanks." Chloe turned to face him.

"Not that you don't look nice everyday because you do, I was just..." He began to blush and stopped mid sentence. "You know what I'm trying to say."

"Clark, you do know that tonight is not a date don't you?"

"Of course I was just complimenting you as a friend."

"Good, as long as we're both on the same page." She smiled awkwardly.

"Chloe why would it be such a bad thing if tonight was a date?"

"Clark we've been down this road before, it never works out so let's not go there." She moved away grabbing her jacket and purse.

"Fine, we better get moving before Lois sends out the search party anyway." He moved towards the door waiting for Chloe to follow.

Oliver knew he ran a huge risk sending Chloe the bracelet but when he saw it, he immediately thought of her and had added it to his purchase of diamond earrings for Lois.

"Ollie, they are beautiful. Thank you." Lois admired the diamond earrings and kissed him on the cheek.

"It's just my way of saying sorry for being distant lately." He smiled as she wondered into the bathroom to swap them with the pair she already had in.

Ollie found him self wondering how Chloe had reacted when she had opened her gift, whether she would return it or love it just as he had.

He had felt guilty giving Lois the earrings, when he was in such confusion over the status of there relationship. He didn't want to continue to give her good vibes when deep down he had seriously been considering ending it, for some silly crush on her cousin. Then it would hit him, Chloe was kissing the green arrow NOT Oliver Queen.

Any doubts Ollie had about Chloe loving the bracelet soon disappeared when he and Lois arrived at the restaurant and joined Clark and Chloe at the bar. He immediately spotted it on her wrist and couldn't help but smile.

"Finally, we thought you weren't going to make it." Chloe kissed her cousin on the cheek as Clark and Ollie shook hands.

"Sorry, traffic was terrible Chloe, my fault." Ollie lowered his head to kiss her on each cheek. He couldn't help but linger over the second kiss and take in her scent. "It's nice to see you again."

"You too Oliver," She smiled not noticing his hesitancy as they were then shown to their waiting table.

"So how did it go with the security guard the other day? " Chloe asked Lois as they took there seats.

"It didn't, was a total waste of my time and patience. I just don't understand why it is so difficult to find out who this guy actually is. I mean a pair of shades and a hood isn't the most complex of disguises now is it. "She muttered.

"Well it's obviously got some credibility if your struggling Lois." Clark tried not to smirk at the worrying look on Ollie's face.

"Your funny Smallville, You know if my friends were to actually help me and I had all there resources to use, I would have busted this guy months ago."

"I don't see what the big deal is about this Green Arrow character anyway! " Ollie really was not happy about the direction in which the conversation was heading.

"Ollie you would say that, it is not one of your expensive heirlooms he has stolen is it?"

"No but all I'm saying is there is a reason why this guy hides his identity and there are two sides to every story. "

"You sound just like these two Ollie; it's good to know I have your full support." She sipped at her drink.

"All we're saying Lois is maybe you should think out of the box with this guy." Chloe could see that Lois was beginning to get uncomfortable.

"You're the one that has me confused the most. Because less then a week ago you were all for finding out who he is but now you have done a complete 360 on me. This guy has been turning up on your leads for the best part of two weeks and you don't even seem bothered."

"Maybe I just don't feel he is a threat to me like that Lois."

"And maybe you should." Lois exclaimed.

"And maybe we should change the conversation. It's obvious we all have our different takes on this guy and I think we have already wasted enough of the evening arguing about it." Ollie seemed un-nerved and as if on cue the waiter arrived to take their orders.

Easy conversation flowed through out the rest of the dinner and by the time they had made their way and settled in the movie theatre, the atmosphere was back to being very relaxed.

As the movie started Oliver contemplated resting his hand on Lois' knee, but then he caught sight of Chloe's and the temptation to feel her touch overwhelmed him. It was an opportune moment and he couldn't help but accidentally slip his hand down to rest on the knee next to him.

Chloe was startled as the feel of Oliver's soft hand ran over her knee. She had been so caught up thinking about the next time she would meet the green arrow and what she would say to him, that it took a couple of minutes for the contact to even register In her brain.

"Ollie. Wrong knee, Lois is to the left of you." Chloe whispered mockingly.

"Oh! Chloe I'm so sorry." He took his hand away and tried not to show the amusement he felt inside.

As the pair's attention returned to the movie Chloe felt the now familiar feeling of someone stroking her knee, only this time it was Clark.

"Oh my god what is this! Touch Chloe up night! "She pushed his hand away.

"Sorry." Clark muttered shifting uncomfortably in his seat as Chloe's phone began to vibrate against the side of the chair.

"Clark I'm sorry, I have got to get this." She whispered standing to leave the screen.

"So the deal is going down tonight, thanks for your call." Chloe hung up and slipped the cell back into her bag.

"Chloe is something wrong? " Clark appeared in the foyer.

"Sorry I have got to go something has come up." Chloe kissed his cheek "Thank Lois and Ollie for me, I had a great night. "

"But the movie has not even…" Chloe disappeared from view and Clark let out a sigh, "…….finished."
