Pairing: Chloe/Oliver (I love them so much)

Disclaimer: I really don't own anything…it makes me sad.

Note: Thank you for everyone who posted a review! I just wanted to say that I love Chloe. I love fan fiction with her and just about anyone. I don't really like Lois or Lana, I don't really have a reason I just don't like them and it tends to show in my writing. Sorry to anyone who really likes Lois or Lana.

"Are you sure?" Chloe was standing in the middle of her new apartment looking at the new furniture that Oliver had gotten for her.

Oliver smiled and sat down on her new sofa. "How many years have we known each other?"

"Five years and a few months give or take." Chloe sat down next to him on the sofa.

"How much time do we spend in each others home?"

Chloe smiled seeing his point. They practically lived together, her staying at his place him staying at hers, it didn't matter they both had a small section of each others closets filled with clothing that didn't belong to them. Oliver had given her a section of his bathroom cabinet and more importantly he always had coffee in his apartment even though he never really drank it. On the other side, Chloe always had pineapple sherbet in her freezer even though she really didn't like pineapple.

"What's your point?"

"With you on the same floor as me we won't have to spend nearly as much time commuting and you won't have to worry about me molesting you in your sleep."



"That's true…" It was true, but not a good point, she liked waking up with him by her side, it made her feel good in a way she had never before felt the need or desire to examine. Now they would spend time together and then go to their separate beds. Not a good point at all. "But I could still find another apartment in the city that you wouldn't have to pay for."

"Well then we have no problem, I'm not paying for this apartment. In fact I'm not even paying for this building."

"What, did the city donate it to you in a scheme to bring the great Queen Empire to Metropolis?" Chloe asked in her sarcastic tone.

"No, my parents did. My dad bought the building long before either of us were thoughts in our parent's minds, so we don't have a problem."

She just looked at him for a moment amazed that he was letting her live in a place that had such value to him. Chloe knew well how he treasured any memory of his parents and was humbled that he would share any of that with her. She leaned over and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Thank you."

Oliver wrapped his arms a tight as he thought her petit body could stand. "For future reference any place I am I want you there with me."

They stood there holding each other for a few minutes. "So how about we get take out and watch movies? That way we don't have to leave." Chloe said as she placed her chin on his chest to look up at his face.

"That would be great; I'll go over to my place and get your menus." Chloe smiled and watched him walk out the front door. She didn't know how it happened, but she wasn't sure what her life would be like without him. Clark had always been the one she called her 'best friend', but she was suddenly realizing that Oliver fit that title much better. She still loved Clark with all of her heart and would do anything for him, but over the years he had made a few decisions that showed that he valued her more as a sidekick and less as an actual friend. Oliver had started out liking her because she was a good sidekick and moved on to something more substantial. While she would mourn the loss of Clark as her best friend she would get over it, if she ever lost Oliver…she wasn't sure that she would ever fully recover. Chloe watched the 

door for another moment then walked into her new kitchen to make drinks while she waited for him to come back.

Oliver's apartment

"Oliver Queen you open this door right now!"

Oliver sighed, he had just come over to his apartment to find some takeout menus for him and Chloe and now she was here. If he had just stayed at Chloe's, like he had wanted to…not that he was going to tell her that, then he wouldn't have to deal with Lois.

"Normal people use the door bell." He said as he opened the door and Lois came rushing in like water.

"Where the hell is my cousin!? What have you done with her? All of her stuff is gone from the apartment and when I called Clarke he told me to talk to you. WHERE IS CHOLE!?"

"Lois take it down an octave, people can here you in the next state, I'm right here." Chloe walked in the door after she heard Lois from across the hall.

Lois spun around to face her cousin. "What are you doing here? Why is all of your stuff gone from the apartment?"

"I think you know why my stuff is gone." Chloe was taking deep breaths and she wasn't sure if it was to keep from crying or yelling. "And if you don't maybe you should ask Jimmy."

"Jimmy? Did you move in with Jimmy? Why didn't you tell me?"



Tears rolled down Chloe's face, it looked like crying was going to win over yelling for the moment. "No I didn't move in with Jimmy! What is wrong with you? I know what you were doing this afternoon! Why are you trying to hurt me?"

Lois looked at Oliver who was standing between her and Chloe shooting her angry looks. "I don't understand what's going on. I would never do anything to hurt you…I like you more than I like my actual sister."

She tried to move closer to Chloe, but her cousin took a step away from her and closer to Oliver. "I saw you with Jimmy this afternoon; I know that the two of you are sleeping together!"

"OH MY GOD! I would never sleep with Jimmy! You know that I would never sleep with Jimmy!"

Chloe looked at Oliver who was looking at Lois with confusion on his face. Oliver looked at Chloe and shrugged, he had no idea what was going on.

"Wait a minute." Chloe took a deep breath and pulled out her cell phone she started dialing and walked out of the room, leaving Lois and Oliver alone.

"So…Chloe saw me with Jimmy…"

"Victor and her were at lunch and saw you and Jimmy kissing and talking about whose place you were going too."

"You're in love with her." Lois said in a calm voice while sitting on the sofa.

Oliver dropped his arms to the side and looked at her like she had lost her mind. "Where did you pull that from?"



Lois smirked. "Chloe was upset because she found out that her boyfriend had cheated on her and that her family had betrayed her and there you are to make her feel better. You love her."

Oliver shook his head. "Chloe is my best friend and she was hurting of course I would try to make her feel better."

"What did you do when you found out what happened?"

"I had the guys pack up her stuff and bring it here."

She smiled. "You love her."

At that moment Chloe walked back into the room and Oliver wasn't able to say anything to Lois.

"Jimmy is on his way over." Chloe stood close to Oliver while looking at Lois. "Are you telling me the truth? Did you really not sleep with Jimmy?"

"Chloe I love you and I would do anything in my power to avoid hurting you." Lois's eyes filled with tears.

Chloe shook her head and looked up at Oliver, "I don't understand…I know what I saw…"

"We'll figure it out, I promise." Oliver pulled her closer to his body. He was torn, on the one hand he would never want Chloe to hurt in any way and on the other hand he didn't want her anywhere near Jimmy Olsen. Maybe he could look into his past and find some deep dark secret that Chloe wouldn't be able to forgive him for, but that also didn't involve anyone else she cared about. He would have Victor look into it in the morning.



The three sat together for the next fifteen minutes waiting for Jimmy to get there and finally he did. Chloe opened the door for him and gestured for him to walk toward the living room.

"Hello…What's going on?" Jimmy was darting looks from Oliver to Lois to Chloe trying to figure out what was going on.

"Jimmy, I need to ask you a question and I need you to answer me honestly." Chloe stated.

"OK." Jimmy fidgeted and looked at Lois.

"Are you sleeping with Lois?"

"Well…" Jimmy looked at Lois who was looking at him and then at Oliver who looked like he would explode at any moment then to Chloe who looked sad. "Yes, I've been sleeping with Lois for three months now."
