Oliver just laid there feeling the warm sunlight creep cross his face. He couldn't even sleep last night, all he could think about was Chloe. He kept replaying his fight with her the whole night. Why wouldn't she even tell me about the trip, I was the last one to find out about it. the anger inside of him started to resurface.

" Oliver where are you?" he heard Bart yell from the other room. He quickly got out of bed putting on a shirt.

"I'm right here," he said as he entered the living room spotting a infuriated Bart. " So what do you need?" Oliver asked grabbing the pot of coffee pouring himself a cup.

" You were way out of line yesterday you know that," Bart practically yelled.

" So I guess this is about Chloe?" he added flatley.

" Ya, you know how hurt she was when you walked out before even giving her a chance to explain?" the younger man said stepping closer.

" How do you think i was going to react. she tells me that shes leaving without any heads up. Who wouldn't be mad?" Oliver said standing his ground.

" I understand that part but did you even give her a chance to explain what happened? Did you give her the chance to tell you that she only found out a couple hours before your little fight with her? Or that this is her big opportunity to get the front page stories shes been dreaming of since she was a kid." he took a quick pause making sure that Oliver was fully understanding what he said, " NO! you just criticized her, then walk out!" Moving forward he started to poke Oliver's chest. " You know what i find the funniest part, you yell at her for leaving the team on short notice, but you do the same thing. You know how many times Chloe had to cover you leather green ass because you had an emergency business meeting? About a dozen times!" he finished. If looks could kill, then Oliver would have be dead by now. I wasn't everyday you see a angry Bart.

Oliver stood there letting Bart's words sink in. He couldn't be more disappointed with himself if he tried. he felt like the biggest jerk in the world. " What have i done!" he finally said looking at the younger man. " Where's Chloe? i need to talk to her now?"

" I think its to late for that her plane left an hour ago," Bart said as he studied Oliver.

Oliver felt like the earth beneath him was cracking. he raced to his laptop, searching for the next flight to Victoria. He heard his cell phone go off, he quickly took it from the table. He answered it hoping it was chloe. " Queen" she said through the phone.

" Mr. Queen, I'm sorry to bother you but Luthorcorp has been buying off shared of Queen industries. And there are rumors of a take over. The board has called a emergency meeting to discuse this matter in Star city. The meeting is in 3 hours." spoke Gretchen , Oliver's assistant, from the other line.

" I'll be there as soon as i can, thank you Gretchen." Oliver said before hanging up. " I have to get to star city Immediately, i guess going to see Chloe has to wait," Oliver said with a weak smile, as he turned to Bart.

" What a surprise you have to go on one of your emergency meetings," Bart said with a laugh. " I really hope you get yourself together, because Chloe deserves to be treated better then she is now by you. " then there was a gust of air and Bart was gone.

Chloe couldn't believe he eyes, as she walked out of the airport, she say the hustle and busal of the city. It was a almost a copy of metropolis, but much greener. Before she left the airport she spotted a man in a black tux holding up a sign with her name on it. As her eyes wondered around the man as she found royal flags pinned on the front of the limo. She was informed by parry that she would get picked up by the royal guard, but she honestly thought that they had forgotten because she at lest waited for a hour, after she collected her baggs. She walked toward the man in the tux, before introducing herself to the man. " Hi, I'm Chloe Sullivan," she said as she put on one of her brightest smiles.

" Oh, I am John the royal driver, and I will be your chauffeur for the rest of your stay here." he said with a smile.

He opened the door of the limo for her, as she slipped in the back. on their way to the royal palace she couldn't help but be mesmerized by the acres of lushes green meadows, and thick forests that was on the outside of the main city.

" Miss. Sullivan we will be arriving shortly to the palace" John said through the window.

"Okay, thank you John," Chloe said with a hint of sincerity in her voice. She could feel her heart race as he saw the palace in the distance. The whole flight here she had read all about the customs of Victoria, but as they neared the palace she couldn't remember a thing.

" We are here Miss. Sullivan." he said as we drove past the gates pulling around a large fountain which sat at the front of the palace.

Chloe gathered her thoughts trying to remember everything in the books she's read. she stepped out of the limo, and followed john towards the entrance. the door was opened by town guards. it reveled a large room filled with paintings of kings and queens of old. she was then taken for a tour of the grounds and was shown to her room. she unpacked and got settled in.

" Well since I'm done unpacking, how about I take a walk around this place," she said to herself as she got off her bag. It was already 11 p.m. almost everyone in the palace was sleeping, with the execption for a few gaurds. The whole palace was dimly lit throughout the whole place. She wondered from corridor to corridor, but found herself back to the main room, the one filled with portraits of kings and queens past. Chloe found herself entranced by paintings, looking at each one like it held all the answers in the world. She felt herself get sleepy and decided to head back into her room. But as she left the main room, she bumped into something large. As she caught her balance, she focused on what she had bumped into.

" Sorry I didn't see you there," said a low husky voice.

When Chloe looked back up, she locked eyes with the man she bumped into. he was wearing a military uniform and a bu-ray. He was young, around mid 20's, he was about 6'4", she could see that is hair was dirty bland under his bu-ray, and he had intoxicating deep light blue eyes. he was, in a lack of a better term, 'HOT'. Chloe couldn't take her eyes off of him. " No, it's my fault. I didn't see where I was going," she said as her cheeks reddened. " I was just getting to know the layout of this place." she said.

" So that's why I don't seem to know you," he said giving her a sly smile.

" Well, soldier you have a month to get to know me," she winked," so how long did it take you to find your way around when you started working here?," she asked raising a eyebrow at him.

He look at her with a confused look on his face, before realization came to his face, as he looked down at his cloths. " Well, Miss?"

" Sullivan, Chloe Sullivan," Chloe added

" Well Miss. Sullivan it feels like i have lived here my whole life. and you'll find that this place isn't like the maze you make it out to be." he said without looking away from Chloe.

" I'll keep that in mind. " Chloe said. " I believe it's only fair to give me your name, since you already know mine." she said slowly in her most suductive voice.

He stepped closer to Chloe and stopped right next to her left ear. " all in good time, Chloe" he whispered in her ear in a low sexy voice. Then stepped away from her and headed back into the main room, disappearing from her sights.
