Alicia-
It had been about a day since Lex asked me to do anything, which meant a day of lying in my bed under house arrest in the grand luthor home I can't say I'm bored, I mean
who would be, living here, but I needed to see Clark I felt horrible about what happened to Tess and I need Clark to know I was sorry, I don't expect him to trust me he has
no reason two but I want to see him again to hug him because no matter what I tell myself I still love him. I had called him but he thought I was lying or that it was some kind
of trap, and in all fairness it did seem like it, I need to find a way to show him that he can always trust me. Lex was not home so I did some snooping around, I was going
through the files on his computer when I found all of Clarks information
"this was it" I thought to myself, I can delete all the files containing Clark and save him from Lex, but just as I started Lex burst through the door. I froze and stood up as fast
as I could, but it was too late,
"Lex" I said as I shut the laptop
"what were you doing on my computer?" He said, his tone was serious,
"Lex.." I stood up and moved closer to him and put my hand lightly on his chest
"I was wondering..." I walked around so that my lips were almost touching his ear
"Witch shower has the best water pressure?" I asked in my sexyist voice. Lex smiled and turned around so that our faces were barely inches apart
"oh Alicia this little act didn't work on Clark did it?" His eyes were cold and I was starting to have second thoughts on my approach,
"this isn't an act Lex... I want you" I spoke quietly as he looked me over then put one hand on my waist, and leaned close to my ear this time
"the shower in my room is the hottest... I'll show you".
Jimmy-
I was in bed when I got his call, I picked up the phone as fast as I could so I didn't wake Chloe
"hello?" I asked in a sleepy voice
"Jimmy! How fast can you get here!?" I heard Oliver yell from the other end,
"Get where?" I asked still half asleep.
"To my apartment! I need help with something"
"Oliver it's 4:30 in the morning, what is so important that needs my help right now?" I questioned not wanting to leave the comfort of the bed,
"Just hurry" he said hanging up the phone, and I quietly got out of bed, got dressed and headed out the door.
I came up through the apartment elevator to see Oliver leading me inside
"Shhhhh" he said as he held a finger to his mouth and walked me toward the kitchen as he was still missing his shirt,
"I need you to help me make breakfast!" Oliver said pointing to the counter full of fruits and other breakfast items
"You woke me up at this time to help you with breakfast!?" I asked angry
"Breakfast for Tess" he said with a smile
"Look I don't know how to make a good breakfast and I heard Chloe once say that you made her one so I thought you would be the guy to call" I sighed
"Alright Oliver lets get started. On one condition, you put your shirt back on"
"No, I better chance with Tess this way." Oliver said as I ignored it and started cooking.
We were almost done and had just set the table when we heard the door down the hall open,
"Tess!" Oliver half whispered
"You need to hide!" His eyes started scanning the room for someplace when they finally rested on something behind me he smiled but as I looked back I couldn't help but argue
with his place of choice,
"Oh no! Not there!" I refused shaking my head
"Hurry up, just do it" Oliver replied trying to get me to give in
"I'm not getting in the oven Oliver!" I yelled,
"Get in the oven!"
he screamed back as we heard Tess come closer to our fight, but just as Tess finally entered the room Oliver shoved me under the kitchen table and sat down.
"Who were you talking to?" she asked,
"... Myself. I just wanted this to be perfect, I was arguing with myself whether or not to put peanut butter or honey on your toast" I heard Oliver say.
I silently face palmed as he did so
"Sit." Oliver said as the chair across from him was pulled out and Tess sat down. Her and Oliver started talking, and when I noticed Oliver was wearing green pyjama pants and
Tess was wearing shorts and what I guessed was one of Oliver's shirts judging by the fact that it was too big and was a men's shirt.
A few minutes later Tess started to cross her legs under the table, and I
(being stuck under the table) got kicked in the face twice and letting out a small noise in the second hit. Oliver coughed to cover the break of silent chewing that I made,
then said that it was his feet she kicked. They were talking about something that happened last night, meanwhile I was having my own battle on how to get out of this date
and go back and help my wife with her 'situation'
~O~O~
"Give me the pancake at the bottom of the stack, it's the best one and I'm getting hungry. Sooner or later she is going got hear my stomach grown" I sent Oliver over text
and a few seconds later he passed me food subtly while hiding the fact that I was even there in the first place.
About fifteen minutes had past and I was still under the table Chloe was probably awake by now and there was no way I could get out without Tess seeing me, and once I
realized that the mere thought of leaving was hard enough without actually leaving I sent Oliver and text saying that I needed to get back to Chloe and I couldn't get out
without help so he needed to take her to another room, so Oliver took Tess into the bedroom, and once they finally left I went back to 'Watchtower'
Tess-
I woke up to what sounded like the the fridge door slamming shut and a bowl or something falling to the floor. I rolled over to look at the clock, it read 6:12 so I then got up
to go see what Oliver had just dropped and probably broken. Just as I was at the door, I looked down to see the shirt that I was wearing from last night. I was very tired and
had ruffled through the closet to only find Oliver's shirts realizing all my things weren't moved to his apartment yet so I must have grabbed one of his out of his closet full of
mostly green ones, It was a comfy gray one and I smiled looking down at the shirt I had seen him wearing at least three times before and went to the door only to hear the
sound of yelling, and considering it was Oliver and I was still pretty tired I just left it be and walked out to ask him myself. "Who were you talking to?" I asked waiting for Oliver
to probably make a fool of himself,
"... Myself. I just wanted this to be perfect, I was arguing whether or not to put peanut butter or honey on your toast. - Sit" he said calmly as I admired the embarrassed
glow that grew on his cheeks, as I studied him I then sat down and glared at the breakfast that he claimed to made on his own for me, I couldn't help but be impressed and a
little suspicious as I continued to look at the food, but after I had taken a bite of the French toast I got over it while I tried to hide the fact that Oliver is being a little more
than satisfactory right now.
~O~O~
I kicked what felt like some kind of head or mangled body part, I then moved my leg back in the same position to see that would happen, just then Oliver started coughing and
shortly after apologizing for his leg being there. After the weirdness of that incident I thought I'd bring up the events of last night,
"Oliver look. Last night-" I started before getting cut off
"Tess. I don't regret anything from last night, and everything I said was the truth, and this may go against what you think but I do still care about you." he said with a smile
almost as if he was holding this in for a little while now and finally got to say what he wanted to,
"but Oliver we can't be together." I said remembering what happened last time
"Why? What is the real reason you can't give us another chance?" he said as he leaned towards the ground awkwardly, but I pretended I didn't notice.
"You just ended things with Chloe, and frankly for all I know you could try the same things from when we actually had a relationship. So be sure this is what you want."
"I'm sure that all I want is you. You are, and always will be the girl that I want." he said getting close to actually convincing me,
"How can I know that you're telling the truth Oliver?"
"Come on" he said as he led me out.
Oliver-
After I finally made up an excuse to let Jimmy leave I led Tess into my room and spotted a neat pile of movies next to the T.V, Jimmy wasn't here so I couldn't ask for the new
Olsen Woo tip but I remembered that I had a movie she had always liked, I then grabbed the disc forth from the bottom and offered Tess a movie in bed,
"Titanic?" I asked watching her reaction,
"I have to go find a job Oliver. If you don't remember I'm not exactly the CEO of LuthorCorp anymore. I can't just waste time with you all day." She said now looking me
"Considering that the big bad Luthor hasn't undone everything that you put into that company then I don't think he has updated his employee role, you still have a job right
now -"
" - You can job hunt later."
I said while picking up the movie and starting it on the T.V,
"Oliver, I can't" she said before I started to correct her
"I think you mean 'I can.'" I said with a smirk
"Oliver no" she finished as she broke her eye contact with me
"Mercy yes." I said making her stutter,
"I don't have time for your games" she said looking me over, and I realized I still wasn't wearing a shirt
"Fine, no games, just you, me, and The Titanic" I said as I pulled her onto the bed,
"Come on. There's no stopping it now, the movie has already started."
~O~O~
It was about an hour into the movie when Tess finally gave in and started to relax, the room started to get cold and over time we slowly got closer to each other, eventually
she was laying on my chest, I think she finally started to feel close to me again. Once the movie was over I grabbed Tess her drink from the night stand beside the bed
causing her to sit up to drink it, which caused a ripple effect spreading her apart from me. Soon she noticed the situation and pretended like she shouldn't have been doing this,
"Oliver the movie is over and I wasted enough time by watching it. You got what you wanted now I need to look for a job" she said sitting up more and putting additional
space between us
"Mercy look, I am going to tell you this because you so clearly haven't got it yet. I like you, I like spending time with you, and I like being with you. There is nothing that is
going to change that." I said as I half touching her face and turning it towards me.
"Save it Oliver, even if half of that is true that doesn't change the fact that I need a job and staying here with you doesn't apply me with one" she lifted the blanket that
was Covering us
"See I thought you would say that, so while you were watching the movie and laying on my chest I did a little thing called a internet search on my phone, found a job thats
perfect for you, and then texted a friend to apply for you. I mean you obviously wont find out for a few days but I know you, and I have faith that you'll get it."
"What may this so mighty job be?" she said getting ready for my answer to be something so far off,
"Marine collected Aquarist, well I remember you saying you wish you could start doing marine biology again but couldn't because of your job at luthorcorp, so..."
I said answering her question, but to my surprise she did a little more then thank me, she stopped for a moment and looked at me shocked as if I was making it up I nodded to
show that it was the truth and she smiled back and then awkwardly sat up on the bed and leaned over to hug me, she closed her eyes and at that moment, right then, and right there with
her delicate arms wrapped around my bare chest and her beautiful body covered by my shit resting softly on me I knew that I wasn't going to stop until I could call her mine.
