Summary: Oliver and Chloe have a very intimate discussion during his 72-hour house arrest.
Feedback: …is a terrible thing to keep to yourself. :)
Chapter 2
Chloe gasped. “Onyx?” she exclaimed I shock. “You made the dog a part of all this?”
He nodded. “Yep.”
“But you told me he was a stray!”
He flashed her an embarrassed smile. “I lied.”
She folded her arms and gave him a narrow-eyed stare. “Start talking.”
He took a deep breath. “I didn’t nearly run him over like I said. I actually went looking for a puppy for you,” he said quietly. “Chloe, you had all this love in you and you were terrified of giving it to me…I thought the little furball would be a healthy outlet.”
Chloe huffed and got out of bed, yanking the sheet out from under him. He sat up and quietly watched her while she wrapped it around herself and paced from one end of the room to the other.
“You deceived me,” she accused, scowling at him.
His jaw dropped. “You love that dog!”
“It doesn’t absolve you of guilt for tricking me!”
“I just wanted to help you love again, is that such a bad thing?” he argued.
“Did you have to resort to trickery and deceit to get the job done?”
“What else could I do? You were dead-set against falling for me from the start!” he almost shouted, his eyes tinged with sadness. “Even now that I know how much you feel for me, you still can’t say those words. Why? What exactly is holding you back, Chloe?”
Chloe sighed and lowered her gaze, and his shoulders slumped in defeat.
“I’m sorry, I know I promised not to rush you, I just…” he exhaled roughly and rested his head in his hands. “God, I wish there was something I could to coax that last little corner of your heart out of its shell.”
She stared at him, her expression softening on seeing him so glum. She returned to his side and sat down next to him, resting her hand on his arm.
“I’ve got baggage, Ollie; I know,” she said quietly. “And I am getting rid of it; it’ll just…take a while.”
He peeked at her through a crack between his fingers and smiled. “Hey, it’s okay. I told you I’d wait, didn’t I?”
She gave him a sardonic glance. “Yeah, you waited so patiently you tricked me over and over again.”
“Oh, here we go,” he muttered under his breath.
“It’s not funny, Ollie, this whole relationship was built on lies!”
“God, don’t start with that,” he said, annoyed. “I may have employed some under-handed tactics to get you face your feelings, but you can’t deny that those feelings are true. What, you’d rather I sat in a corner and twiddled my thumbs while I waited for you to come to me?”
He shook his head. “That’s not who I am, Chloe. I may be patient, but I’m still a man of action. I love you. And as much as you shy away from admitting it, I know you love me, too. So don’t go getting all mad at me and manufacturing problems and issues between us where there aren’t any, because that tactic’s getting real old, real fast.”
She gulped as he got to his feet and went to stand by the window, his arms folded in annoyance. Chloe bit her lip, conscious of the fact that everything he’d just said was one hundred per cent true. Somewhere deep inside, her in-built defence mechanism was waiting to pull the breaks on her squee whenever she began to get too comfortable in her happiness.
Oliver didn’t understand just how scared she was of losing him, how terrified she was that voicing her true feelings would result in him getting wrenched away from her by the cruel hand of fate. Maybe her fears were founded on silly superstitions, but until she could learn to conquer them, he’d just have to be patient with her. Extremely so.
She studied the stern set of his shoulders as he looked out over the city, and her hungry gaze dropped to the firm muscles of his buttocks and thighs. Smiling, she stood up with the sheet still wrapped around herself and quietly padded over to him.
“You’re probably wondering which of the gods you pissed off to get stuck with an emotional headcase like me,” she joked, wrapping her arms around his waist. She rested her head on his back and inhaled deeply, savouring his masculine scent. A few seconds later his fingers interlaced with hers, and she could hear the smile in his voice as he spoke.
“Probably Loki, the trickster,” he replied. “But the joke’s on him, because I love you, anyway.”
“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I know I have a bad habit of nipping things in the bud before they start to grow; but I’m glad you’re not putting up with it, or letting me get away with it.”
He turned to her and smiled. “It’s called Tough Love,” he whispered, rubbing his nose against hers. Chloe looped her arms around his next and pressed her lips to his, kissing him softly. He deepened the kiss, his tongue seeking hers with a yearning that was mirrored within her spirit.
After a while he lifted his head and leaned back, studying her intently.
“I often wonder how different things would have been if I’d met you at the Kent Farm that day instead of Lois,” he suddenly said.
Chloe rolled her eyes and snorted. “Ha! Based on your history and the type of women you used to go for, you probably wouldn’t have even noticed that I was female.”
“You don’t know that,” he retorted. “But then again, I had Clark to contend with, and with him on the horizon, you wouldn’t have given me a second glance.”
She made a wry face. “Good point.”
He ruffled her hair and smiled. “I'm glad I got you before he realised what he'd let slip through his fingers."
“Yeah, well that’s all moot, because Clark and I never happened,” she said. “You and Lois, on the other hand, did.” She tilted her head and eyed him carefully. “What was it like with her?”
He shrugged. “Well, we weren’t together that long, to be honest, and I was always—”
“I meant in bed,” she clarified. “How was that?”
Oliver’s eyes drifted shut. “You went there,” he sighed.
“Had to happen sometime,” she said with a rueful smile. “Well?”
He took her hands and squeezed them gently. “Does it really matter now?” he whispered.
“Sort of.”
He stared at her. “Chloe, it’s old news. Why would you want to know that?”
Her left brow went up. “Oliver, you got upset because you saw me kiss Clark. How can you not expect me to question your sexual relationship with my cousin?”
“Because it’s in the past, and it was long before you and I, so it doesn’t count,” he insisted.
“I…I can’t pretend like you two never happened, Ollie; I’ve tried, but I can’t,” she said quietly.
“But we’ve talked about this before…”
“Not in detail, and not really about the fact that you two shared a bed,” she pointed out. “Like you said, we just never went there. But if you and I are taking our relationship further - which we are - then I need to know what I’m up against.”
He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “Chloe - don’t you understand? Lois couldn’t even hold a candle to you,” he said seriously. “I just happened to meet her first, and that’s something I can’t change.”
She swallowed hard and stared out the window. “Oliver, after the whole Roulette intervention, the first step you took towards getting your life back on track was to try and win Lois back; correct?”
His lips thinned. “Well…yes, but—”
“You made active plans to get back together with her, no buts about it," she said quietly. “You asked her out, but she turned you down.”
He opened his mouth to speak, but she held a hand up to stop him.
“Please - let me finish,” she said. “I saw the look on your face when she was in the hospital with Clark; she’d chosen him, and you were devastated.” She swallowed again. “Two weeks later, you were in bed with me. I have to ask.”
Oliver frowned, a slight crease marring his handsome features. “And you’re sure you want to hear this?”
“Yes. I am.”
He took a deep breath. “Fine. Do you want to know about the sex, or the relationship in general?”
She tried to swallow again, but her voice was suddenly dry. Her words came out in a quiet croak.
“All of it.”

Date: 2012-09-01 02:24 am (UTC)I have to say though, I understand where Chloe is coming from. A commitmentphobe like her would see curious parallels between Oliver's campaign with her and with his campaign with Lois.
I know some people did not like the PTB of Smallville for trying to get Oliver and Lois back together, but in my mind, Oliver wanted something good in his life and Lois was the first decent woman that had entered his life romantically. So of course he wanted her back - even though he knew they didn't suit really.
I can't wait for your explanation, I always love to read other peoples takes on this.
Super excited for more!

"I have to say though, I understand where Chloe is coming from. A commitmentphobe like her would see curious parallels between Oliver's campaign with her and with his campaign with Lois."
The girl has more issues than Rolling Stone, I swear. Oliver's really got his work cut out for him!

*melts* I ♥ you. That is all. :-)
"I can't wait for your explanation, I always love to read other peoples takes on this."
You've made a very educated guess which hits pretty close, so we'll see! :-P
"Super excited for more!"
Many thanks for your lovely comments, and I hope to update again pretty soon!

Love that Oliver point blank to Chloe she need to stop creating problems for them!!!
She studied the stern set of his shoulders as he looked out over the city, and her hungry gaze dropped to the firm muscles of his buttocks and thighs.

Date: 2012-09-01 06:40 am (UTC)Seems whenever Oliver wants something he has to 'trick' Chloe (I remember in the next part to this story that Ollie tricked her into getting pregnant). Points to him. Muppet isn't the word I would use for Chloe - but if it works for you (lol).

"Seems whenever Oliver wants something he has to 'trick' Chloe (I remember in the next part to this story that Ollie tricked her into getting pregnant). Points to him."
There's a reason on of the instalments in this series is called 'Up to Tricksies'...you'll see it later on. Kudos to you for spotting the pattern! :-D
"Muppet isn't the word I would use for Chloe - but if it works for you (lol)."
Ha ha! Sorry for the evil cliffie - but you know I always come full circle and provide a happy ending. :-)
Thanks for your awesome comments, hun! *huggles*

Always a pleasure, Maddie! *hugs*

How have you been? Sorry I've been away so long. It's good to be back! :-D
"Anyway, it's time for Oliver to reveal his big plans to get to Chloe' heart !!! starting with their first nite and now with Onyx ahahah but how could you leave us like this !! that's cruel Dee i really need to get the next chap very soon loooolllll"
Don't worry, hun, it's all written. I just need to edit it, and away we go! :-P
"um i'm not too sure i'm gonna like what Oliver talking about his relationship with Lois !! well i'd never really like the Lollie and it got on my nerves when after the Roulette thing Oliver tried to get back to her !!!"
That was incredibly annoying. I wouldn't have had a problem with it if the show actually planned to go there (JH and ED actually have good chemistry together), but it served no purpose whatsoever. A complete waste of time that could have been spent on developing Chlollie!
Unfortunately it means I'll have to address Oliver and Lois's previous relationship, but I'll try and make The Talk as painless as possible. Okay?
" jeez i wish i wrote the scenario ahaha and change that !!! but fortunatly u're here to change things and yeahhh i can't wait to read more !! well done !!!"
Thanks, babes! :-)

Date: 2012-09-01 12:29 pm (UTC)I like that Oliver tells Chloe everything, he lied to her yeah, but he cares about her for a long time now too, and that is something she needs to know, she is loved, for real and for a while now and she deserve it. I understand so well her fears, I'm pretty phobic so I know how she feels, and it's not easy left people to close, you feel like you are in a serious danger, it's not real and you know it but, that's how you feel...
But that Cliffhanger is machiavellian¡

Date: 2012-09-01 02:52 pm (UTC)Also, just wanted to say that a while back I read quite a few of your Chlark fics, and I followed your link to Elly's page. I needed another view of Clark because I'm trying to write more Chlark friendship. Anyway, you two inspired me to include more of a Chlark history in a couple of stories, and one will almost be a love triangle. So, I wanted to say thanks for that. I liked the way you humanized him. :)
