Everyone in the hospital room was silent. Oliver silently cursed himself. He couldn't believe that he had told Chloe he loved her. Not that it wasn't true, it was just that this was not the way he planned to reveal his feelings to her.

Lois who was looking very uncomfortable spoke up, "I want coffee. Does anyone else want coffee?"

Clark looks at her strangely, "Lois, I don't think now is the time for-OWW!" He was elbowed in the ribs by Lois, and he finally got the hint. "Oh yeah, coffee sounds great Lois! Chloe, Oliver do you want anything?"

Chloe raises her eyebrows at Clark, "Sure, Ill take a double Latte if you don't mind. And no coffee for Ollie, he is recovering." She laughs at the pout Oliver gives her. "Fine, get him his usual, decaf with two sugars and two creams." She laughs at Ollie's silly grin. She knew that she could never deny Oliver anything, even when he was in a hospital bed he was still in control.

Both Chloe and Oliver watch as Lois and Clark leave. "Well that was Lois' so not subtle way of leaving us to talk." Chloe states.

Oliver looks at Chloe, nervously. He mentally shook himself, he was Oliver Queen! Billionaire! He could make grown men shake in there boots with one look! Now here he was nervous, in front of a woman no less. Oliver was never nervous in front of women. He was cool, confident, cocky, always in control. But when he was with Chloe it was different. She had a certain way of looking at him that could make him feel like she was looking into his soul, and that made Oliver Queen very nervous.

Oliver goes to speak but Chloe interrupts him with a flurry of words. "Look Ollie, don't worry about what you said. I know you only said it in the heat of the moment and didn't mean it. And that's ok, I mean its not like I was expecting you to express your undying love to me or anything. You just recently broke up with Lois, and we just got together, so there is no reason for me to think you would mean what you said." Chloe looks down at her feet, blushing a deep scarlet.

Oliver raises an eyebrow at her. She hadn't taken one breath during the entire speech she had made. "I meant what I said Chloe. I do love you."

Chloe still looking down, starts her babble again, "See we agree it was in the heat of the moment and-" She stops looking up. "Wait what did you say?"

Ollie smirks at her and shakes his head. "I said, that I, Oliver Jonas Queen, am deeply, madly, and hopelessly in love with you, Chloe Anne Sullivan."

A smile appears on her face and she leans down to hug him. "I love you to Ollie."

They were about to kiss when they were interrupted, not by Clark and Lois but by one Lex Luthor.

Lex walks into the room. "Good to see you awake Mr. Queen. You had a lot of people worried."

Oliver glares at Lex, "Lex I'm touched, I didn't know that you cared."

Lex's face is stoic as usually. "Well we wouldn't the owner of Queen Industries injured, or worse dead now would we?"

Distain fills Oliver's voice. "What do you want Lex?"

Lex sits in a chair across the room. "Cant I just check on a former Excelsior comrade?"

Oliver bites the inside of his cheek. He didn't want to see Lex Luthor at the moment and was in no mood for mind games with the bald billionaire.

"Lex, we both know that's not why you came. Now what do you want?"

Lex stands, "If you must know, I came because of Lana. Lana is Chloe's best friend and you are Chloe's new beau. So I thought I would make sure you were not going to die, and to see if Chloe needed anything." Chloe feels uncomfortable at the way Lex is starring at her. Its like he is looking threw her. He was looking at her like she was a wounded animal and he was a hungry preditor. It made Chloe feel very uncomfortable, as did his next words, which left a very clear meaning. "I wanted to make sure that all Chloe's needs," The way he said the word like it was sexual innuendo made Chloe cover her chest with her arms, "were taken care of, while you were other wise occupied."

Oliver sits up, rage filling him at Luthor's remark. He pulled Chloe close to him, his arm around her waist. "She if fine Lex. And any needs that Chloe has, I can assure I can handle them."

Lex turns to leave, but looks at Chloe one last time. "Chloe if you need anything, don't hesitate to come to the Mansion. I will help in any way I can. Get well soon Oliver." He walks out, and Chloe shivers, huddling herself closer to Ollie.

"What a creep." Chloe's voice is shaky. Ollie can tell she is scared.

"Chloe, I will never let him hurt you or touch you in anyway, I swear on my parents grave that Lex Luthor will never touch you."

Chloe squeezes his hand and kisses him lightly just as Clark and Lois walk back in. "Was that Lex?" Clark asked with curiosity and anger.

Chloe nodded, still shaken by what Lex had said. "Yeah it was."

Clark notices Chloe is shaking, he walks to her. "Chloe what did he do to you? Your shaking."

Oliver looks to Clark, "Its ok Clark Ill handle Luthor."
