Chapter 9
'have they forgotton how to use a phone' Oliver thought as he slammed it down into the receiver it had been a week since that disastorous first meeting in his office and since he's kissed her he could still see the stunned look on her face as they broke apart right before she took off which he understood but neither Carter or Megan had been in touch with him since then and they weren't returning his calls and he'd had enough standing up and grabbing his leather jacket he was just about to go see her when Miss Flockhart's voice came over the intercom.
"Mr Queen there's a Miss Fossil here to see you shall i send her in" her voice came causing him to freeze jacket half on.
"yes" he said jumping forward to press the button. a few seconds later Megan came walking through his door giving him a small smile thankfully this time leaving the door on it's hinges.
"oh i'm sorry" she said noticing his jacket "if your going out i can come back later" she said turning to leave.
"no" Oliver said moving forward and grabbing her arm "i was just coming to see you" he said letting go of her arm and taking a hold of her hand afraid she might leave. She seemed shocked bt his sudden closeness but thankfully didn't complain or try to snatch her hand away.
"Ollie i'm sorry" she said looking into his eyes "i shouldn't have reacted the way i did and i shouldn't have run away after..."she trailed off looking embarassed
"it's ok" he said stroking her hand with the pad on his thumb placing his other hand on her upper arm "that was a lot to take in in a ten minute span for anyone" she smiled obviously relieved he wasn't mad at her "and besides" he continued " i probably should've taken you on a date before i started trying to make out with you" he smiled his heart thumping hoping she wouldn't tell him to get lost " there's an arts festinal going on tonight it might be fun" he said smiling lightly at her knowing she wasn't the kind of girl who would wanna go to some posh restaurant 'since when does asking a girl out make me so nervous' he chided himself.
"sure" she smiled "it could be fun" she smiled after a few seconds hesitation
"great" Oliver replied trying not to grin so much "i'll pick you up at seven" he smiled
"you should make it six thirty" she smiled
"ok" he smiled "can't wait that long to see me again huh" he said his smile turning into a grin
"no your still going to pick me up at seven but if you tell me six thirty i'll be ready on time" she smiled reaching up and kissing him on the cheek before turning and walking out the door leaving Oliver with a giant grin on his face staring after her not even caring that Carter was probably gonna kill him.
