Chapter 17
Within seconds
“You really are a nasty piece of work, you know that?”
Oliver gave a soulless smile. “Guess you’ve been to Chloe’s, huh?”
“You heartless bastard, how could you?”
To his surprise and annoyance, Oliver gave a maniacal laugh. “Oh, it’s me, is it? I’m the bad guy here?” He shook his head and snorted. “Man, you have perfected the art of barking up the wrong tree, and gotten it down to a science.”
“I know the way you operate, Oliver,” he spat, resting his hands on the marble bar top and leaning rudely into the other man’s personal space. “Love ‘em and leave ‘em, not caring how many broken hearts you leave along the way…”
“Now, you need to shut up,” Oliver growled slowly, rising to his full height which
“I warned you not to take Chloe for granted, but you didn’t listen to me,” he growled back, grabbing Oliver by the lapels and jerking him forward. “Now she’s holed up in the Watchtower sobbing her heart out-”
“Get your hands off me!” Oliver roared, knocking
“I told you that if you hurt her-”
“I’m sorry – hurt her?” Oliver asked, cupping his ear and laughing without mirth. “She’s not the one who just got her heart ripped out here!”
“What are you talking about? You dumped her!”
“She broke up with me, you moron!” he yelled, making
“What?”
“Yeah, that’s right,” he said scathingly. “Your precious Chloe walked away from me right after I told her that I loved her.”
“Believe it,” Oliver said glumly, returning to the bar and picking up his brandy glass, looking through the bottom at the patterns made by the light. “Apparently, the fact that I love her makes her sick. Literally.”
“Oliver have you been drinking all morning?”
“I haven’t had a drop,” he spat. “Though maybe if I had, I wouldn’t hurt so fucking much!”
With those words, he hurled the glass into the wall with brute force. The crystal glass shattered on impact, and the potent smell of the fragrant orange liqueur permeated the air.
Oliver slumped, and for the first time
“I did everything,
“Everyday since she left, I pour out a glass of brandy; everyday…and I just stare and stare at it,” he whispered. “I wish I could just down it and ease the pain, but I’m not that person anymore. I can’t go back to being a drunken loser. She saved me from that.” He lifted his head and
“It doesn’t make any sense,” he said, going over to Oliver’s side and sitting on the other end of the couch. “I was just at her place now, and she’s as cut up about this as you are.”
Oliver snorted. “She can’t be. Here’s how it went,
Oliver turned and glared at him. “Yeah, and whose fault is that?”
“Yeah, you were,” Oliver said scathingly as he stood. “You came to kick the shit out of me for ‘dumping’ your friend, only it turns out she’s the one who’s ripped us apart.”
“Nah, she genuinely wants to fuck my brains out,” he shot back. “Or not. She’s a free agent now, she can screw whoever she wants…” Oliver paused again, and
“Oliver…” he began, but Oliver turned away from him and stared out the window.
“I didn’t invite you over here,” he said stonily. “Please leave.”
“Are you going to be okay-?”
“Just go,
“Oliver, you’re in a bad way. You shouldn’t-”
“
***
In a valiant attempt to get Oliver off her mind, Chloe decided that giving the old office a good clean might be a good distraction. So, with her puppy at her heels, she began the long, laborious process of moving and shifting items around until she thought she’d made some decent progress.
Thirty minutes later, the place was much tidier, but the plan had backfired horribly because Oliver was now in her thoughts more than ever. Everything she touched reminded her in some way of him; every item in the place told a story. The Wedgewood China plates he’d served her lobster in had taken up residence in her kitchen, his jogging sneakers were in a corner, and the gold blouse he’d bought her from Mumbai was folded on top of a pile of her clothes. His GA costume was just behind a hidden panel which she passed every ten seconds. And if all that wasn’t enough, Onyx harassed her with constant reminders that he hadn’t seen his daddy for a while, bringing slippers and green arm bands and dropping them at her feet.
Chloe sighed and rubbed her temples, feeling thoroughly heartsick. Morosely she wondered how Ollie was doing, but she didn’t have the courage or the strength to call him, because her resolve would weaken and she’d be back to making the same old mistakes.
She squeezed her eyes shut against the tears that threatened, but one still fell and rolled down her cheek. Angrily she dashed it away and stood, picking up a few scattered pens that had fallen down the side of the couch, and went to stash them in her drawer. As she opened the unit and shoved the items as far back as possible, her fingers encountered the smooth edge of a velvet box. Curiously, she felt further along and managed to tug it all the way out.
It was a green velvet gift box, embossed with the Cartier logo on the side, and there was a small card tucked under the gold ribbon with her name on it. Quickly she pulled it out and began to read.
So, I was walking through the Irish Quarter, and this reminded me of you, he’d written. A lucky charrrrrrrm for me lucky charrrrrrrrm. (Well, it was either this or a leprechaun).
Wear it often!
Fondly,
Oliver. Xxx
PS: If you don’t like it, I can always take it back and swap it for the leprechaun. ;-)
Carefully she lifted the lid off the box, and her breath caught in her throat. Sitting on a bed of silk was a 24-carat gold wishbone-chain bracelet, on which hung a pendant with four sparkling emeralds set in the shape of a shamrock.
Chloe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that he’d clearly bought her Cartier jewellery and spoke of it as though he’d blithely picked it up at the Irish Market. She had no idea when he’d bought it and stashed it in her drawer, but he’d been patient enough to wait for her to find it. Unable to resist, she lifted the bracelet out of its box and slipped it around her wrist.
Like everything else Ollie had ever gotten her, it was a perfect fit. This time she couldn’t stop the tears that rolled freely down her face as she traced the precious gems on the pendant with one fingertip.
All the signs had been there. Deep down, she must have realised that he loved her, but the more she’d denied it, the more she could live in denial about his true feelings for her…and hers for him. Because there was no point lying to herself, either. She loved him right back.
And it quite literally scared her to death.
Just then,
“I just spoke to Oliver,” he said, sounding worried. “Chloe…he’s a wreck right now. He said that you -”
Just hearing his name was enough to set her off completely. Chloe burst into fresh tears, sobbing loudly as she buried her face in her hands and wept openly.
Immediately,
“No it’s not,” she cried, squeezing her fingers into his t-shirt, her eyes falling on her new bracelet. “It’s not…it’ll never be…”
“Shh,” he soothed, his hands gentle on her shoulders. “Please don’t cry, Chlo. Look, you’re scaring the puppy. You don’t want Onyx getting all upset, do you?”
She glanced down at the whining pup pawing her trouser leg and managed to smile through her tears. “He’s a tough guy,” she managed to say, bending to stroke his dark fur. Her bracelet glinted on her wrist, and her mind immediately went to the tall, sunny blond archer, and she sighed.
“Hey, I know that sigh,”
She shook her head, her eyes filling up with new tears. “I can’t help it, I just…”
“You’re losing weight,” he observed, his eyes accusing. “You’re looking smaller than usual, Chloe. When was the last time you ate?”
A guilty blush stained her cheeks as she tried to remember when her last meal had been…and couldn’t.
She sniffed and nodded. “’Kay.”
He smiled. “Good. Get Onyx’s stuff ready, we leave in two minutes.”
***
Oliver Queen scowled as he swept the broken glass from the brandy tumbler into a dustpan. Clark
Straightening, he went to the kitchen and wrapped the broken shards in old newspaper before placing them in the trash. As he did so, he frowned as he recollected
Chloe’s holed up in the Watchtower sobbing her heart out…she’s as cut up about this as you are…
He sat down at the kitchen table and for the first time in days, his heart beat with hope. Maybe he hadn’t been wrong in his initial assessment of Chloe’s feelings; in fact, he was certain now that he had been right. She did feel for him, and her intense reaction to his declaration of love was – in a weird way – proof of that. He just happened to have startled her, but once she got used to the idea of them together, as a real couple…
The wheels in his head started turning again as he hatched a new plan to get her back. He was going to seduce her, plain and simple. But he had to find a way to get her to let him into the apartment without thinking he was there to seduce her or pressure her into revealing latent feelings for him. The corner of his mouth tilted upwards as once again, as the perfect foil presented itself in his mind.
Onyx.
He hadn’t seen the furball in weeks, and he missed him almost as much as he missed Chloe. So he’d go over there and state his rights.
“Onyx is my damn dog too, and I have a right to see him whenever I want,” he practiced in an indignant voice, and then chuckled to himself.
Okay, it was a cheap trick, creating a custody battle over the pup, but it would drive her crazy and force her to deal with him face to face. And once he touched her, he knew she wouldn’t be able to resist him.
Rising swiftly, he reached for his green jacket, grabbed his Ferrari keys and headed for the door.
It was like he had said; Chloe Sullivan was worth breaking a few rules for.
***
Oliver parked the car and headed towards the building just as Chloe stepped out into the sunshine with Onyx in her arms. He stopped and ducked out of sight so that they couldn’t see him, but kept an eye on them, determined to follow them at a safe distance and surprise them.
But he hadn’t counted on canine intelligence. Onyx sniffed the air, catching a familiar smell, and his ears pricked up. Excitedly he started yapping and wriggling, desperately trying to jump out of Chloe’s arms. Quickly Oliver jerked his head back, hiding behind a truck as Onyx managed to get free.
“Hey, Onyx, come back! What is with you today?” he heard Chloe admonish as Onyx’s yaps got louder and louder as he approached.
Oliver grinned and waited for the pup to appear round the side of the van. Oh, this was perfect. As soon as Onyx reached him, he’d pick him up and-
“Don’t worry, I got him,” he heard a deep voice say.
Oliver’s smile disappeared.
“Okay, let’s go,” he heard him say, and leaned out just in time to see the three of them turning a corner.
“Wait!” Oliver yelled, breaking into a run. But just as he got there and rounded the corner, he was greeted with a cloud of dust and empty space.
“Damn it!” he cursed.
He didn’t waste a second. Immediately he jogged back to the Ferrari and threw it into high gear, heading for the Kent Farm in Smallville.

'Interesting' doesn't even begin to cover it, babes. It's gonna get all crazy up there, I tell ya!

Date: 2010-08-04 07:39 am (UTC)Why didn't he say this to Jimmy when he went all bitchy about her fever letter and went out to a bar to ho around??? No, all he said don't worry I won't tell my best friend what a dickwad you are!!!
Know your facts asshole!!! Then bitch and yell!!!
Clark frowned. “Chloe’s been through so much lately, she’s hardly the same person she was anymore,” he said ruefully.
Oliver turned and glared at him. “Yeah, and whose fault is that?”
You tell him Ollie!!!!
So, I was walking through the Irish Quarter, and this reminded me of you, he’d written. A lucky charrrrrrrm for me lucky charrrrrrrrm. (Well, it was either this or a leprechaun).
Wear it often!
Fondly,
Oliver. Xxx

OMG!! Oliver is just so awesome and adorable!!!!!
After this Chloe should of run to Oliver's and told him how irrational she was being and that she loved him!!!!
The wheels in his head started turning again as he hatched a new plan to get her back. He was going to seduce her, plain and simple. But he had to find a way to get her to let him into the apartment without thinking he was there to seduce her or pressure her into revealing latent feelings for him
YAY!!!! GO get your woman!!!!
Oliver grinned and waited for the pup to appear round the side of the van. Oh, this was perfect. As soon as Onyx reached him, he’d pick him up and-
YAY!!!!!!!! Giddy!!! Reunited and it feels so good!!!!!!
“Don’t worry, I got him,” he heard a deep voice say.
but wut!!!!! Of all the times to cock-blaock!!! why??? WHY???? You freaking cock-blocker!!!!!!!
Oliver’s smile disappeared. Clark? What was he still doing here?
Being a cock-blocker!!!! Like always!!!!
He didn’t waste a second. Immediately he jogged back to the Ferrari and threw it into high gear, heading for the Kent Farm in Smallville.
Yay!!! Go Oliver go get your woman, away from that evil cock-blocker!!!!
To be continued…
Seriously???? I mean seriously!!!!! You freaking tease!!!!!!!!!

Well that's cause your evil!!!!!!!!!! One very EVIL woman!!!!!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-13 11:49 am (UTC)Hee! I think he never say Jimmy as a serious threat, and he knew throughout the Jimmy Years that Chloe always had his back. With Oliver, however, Clark's become a sidenote. And he's not too happy about that, despite the fact that he facilitated their estrangement in the first place. Twat.
"You tell him Ollie!!!!"
*grins* I love Ollie. Always tells it like it is!
"OMG!! Oliver is just so awesome and adorable!!!!!
After this Chloe should of run to Oliver's and told him how irrational she was being and that she loved him!!!!"
Yeah, but if I'd done that, the story would be finished by now! and what's a BabyDee story without Angst & Drama? Go on, admit it...y'all may scream and cry at me for tossing it in there, but you know you love it, really! ;-)
"YAY!!!! GO get your woman!!!!"
He will. But he won't like what he finds when he gets there. Prepare for some major angst, guys. :-(
"YAY!!!!!!!! Giddy!!! Reunited and it feels so good!!!!!!"
Don't pop the champagne just yet...
"but wut!!!!! Of all the times to cock-block!!! why??? WHY???? You freaking cock-blocker!!!!!!!"

so proud of you, ollie:-)
“Chloe’s been through so much lately, she’s hardly the same person she was anymore,” he said ruefully. Oliver turned and glared at him. “Yeah, and whose fault is that?”
Clark is so dumb, argh and so... I'm sorry but he's such a hypocrite. Gets mad at Ollie for leaving Chloe but is doing the same again and again and again...
“Clark, I have kryptonite,” he said harshly. “Now get out before I get it out and shoot you with it.”
feel free:-)^^
"Because there was no point lying to herself, either. She loved him right back"
well at least she accepts that she loves him as much as he loves her. a start I guess...
“Please don’t cry, Chlo. Look, you’re scaring the puppy..."
awesome line, clark can be funny^^:-)
“Onyx is my damn dog too, and I have a right to see him whenever I want,” he practiced in an indignant voice, and then chuckled to himself"

That's what I like best about Oliver, and where he differs from Clark; he examines the whole picture, and then makes an analysis, without charging in headfirst full of dodgy accusations. ;-) It makes him very interesting to write, and I'm having so much fun with the gorgeous, tall blond!

I think I feel worse for Onyx right now... He's stuck with a stupid/masochistic-Chloe and a big dumb alien until Ollie gets there.

Ollie needs to see that Clark has no chance with her, the poor guy already have so many things in his mind.
Loved, loved this chapter. I swear every new chapter only makes me want more. Can't wait to see the battle for Onyx (if Ollie have his way) ;)

"When I got to chapter 17 (the chapter that I've dubbed the chapter to cause me to go into cardiac arrest!!!) I was crying with Chloe, effing mad at Clark, and totally rooting for my Ollie. I'm soooo there with you as you write. Fabulous and Delicious at the same time!!!"
Oh, Kat! It's such an honour and a joy to take you on this journey with me. Chlollie's still pretty much new to me as far as writing them goes, so every endorsement encourages me to write more. Thanks so much! *hugs & squees*

"I love this fic and how well no wait, how amazing this story is concepted."
Aw, thanks Mia! I'm just so pleased that everyone's having a good time reading it! :-D
"Is there hope for a soon update since I'm dying to see what happens next and I bet I'm not alone here lol."
There's an update after this one, and I'm working on the one after that. Fingers crossed for an update sometime next week! :-)

It would have taken months to set something like that in motion :D While he's waiting for her to be ready, he's planning gifts ready to open the flood gates when she gives the green light. Oliver strikes me as the type to find a loop hole to every rule.
Onyx is adorable, and why didn't the heart sick Daddy think of that plan two weeks ago. Too busy moping.

"Clark frowned. “Chloe’s been through so much lately, she’s hardly the same person she was anymore,” he said ruefully.
Okay, I have to say how much I love this. Even when Chloe's acting like el stupido herself, Clark shows her loyalty- just like she used to do for him. He can't stop believing in her, and it's wonderful to see. Ah, my poor Chlarky heart! I can't help but love them, even while I'm rooting for Ollie. The conflict! Gah, the conflict!
"“Clark, I have kryptonite,” he said harshly. “Now get out before I get it out and shoot you with it.”
Why did this make me smile evilly? What a great visual.
"Clark nodded sombrely. “I thought so. Right, that does it; you’re coming to the Farm with me."
No! Fireplace Chlark nookie just shot through my brain! And I WANT it. But this is a Chlollie story, so.. must.stop.brain!
*thinks of broken-hearted Ollie*
Okay, back with the program, now. Go get her, Ollie!!!
:-)
