Return Trip. With chloeas.

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver grinned as he waited on the elevator to take him up to the loft apartment in the clcok tower in Metropolis. He'd called Chloe the night before to let her know that he had some business to take care of over the weekend, and that he'd be arriving the next afternoon. So technically the business could have been taken care of over the phone,

[chloeas]

She heard when the elevator started up and checked on the cameras, smirking a little when she saw Oliver, she then ran into her room and let the door opened just a crack, she had planned this and to be honest, she was a little nervous about it, but she figured they could laugh about it at least.

So she turned on her ipod player, only loud enough so he would hear it but she could still heat him when he came in.

[dl_greenarrow]

The door slid open and he stepped off the lift, glancing around but not seeing her. He could hear music from down the hall. Not wanting to scare her like last time, he paused. "Chloe? I'm here," he called.

[chloeas]

Chloe took a deep breath when he called her name, she had thrown some clothes on the floor so he could see from the door if he walked down the hallway and nodding to herself, Chloe moaned as loudly as she could, hoping it sounded realistic.

[dl_greenarrow]

He arched an eyebrow at that and set his bag on the floor, heading down the hall and spotting some clothes laying near the doorway to her room. "Need some help in there, Sidekick?" He smirked, remaining a few steps away from the door.

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver smiled a bit. "You really need to stop underestimating yourself, Chloe," he told her as he headed for the door.

[chloeas]

"Sure, boss, I will do that," she watched as he turned to walk out of the room and sat up, "where are you going?"

[dl_greenarrow]

He paused at her question and turned to look at her. "I was thinking about grabbing some dinner. You interested?"

[chloeas]

"Well I was gonna run down to McDonalds and grab something, how does that sound?" She smirked a little and raised her eyebrows as she stood up.

[dl_greenarrow]

That made him pause. "Your birthday's coming up?" He glanced at her, cocking his head to the side, looking thoughtful.

[chloeas]

She raised her eyebrows a little and smirked, "maybe?"

[dl_greenarrow]

"Really." A grin tugged at his lips as plans began to form in his mind. "What day?"

[chloeas]

Chloe rolled her eyes and shrugged a shoulder, "now if I answered that, I'd just make things way too easy for you, wouldn't I?"

[chloeas]

She wrapped her arms around his waist after hesitating for a second and shifted a little closer, "Okay, I'm ready."

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver felt her hesitation but didn't mention it, smiling faintly when she wound her arms around him. "Hold on," he told her as his bike lunged into gear and sent them rocketing out of the garage and onto the main road.

He'd loved motorcycles since he hit his teen years. When things had stopped mattering after his parents died. They were fast, they were dangerous, and later, he would come to discover they were chick magnets.

These days he still loved them for most of those reasons, though there was also a feeling of freedom that came when he was riding. A sense of wild, unabridged lightness.

[chloeas]

She held on to him tighter as soon as they were out of the garage, she trusted him, the guy jumped out of buildings every night and was still alive, he had to have pretty good aim and balance, so she wasn't worried about them crashing or falling or anything, but she couldn't even remember the last she rode a motorcycle.

[dl_greenarrow]

Within ten minutes, he was pulling into the McDonalds parking lot, a big, boyish grin on his face as he took his helmet off and slid off the bike, holding his hand out to help her down.

[chloeas]

Chloe cocked her head, damn him. Why did he always know everything, she was trying to be all seductive and he just had to bring Jimmy up, "of course I do, I like to explore." She put on her best smirk even if now she felt like an inexperienced child.

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver caught her eyes and smiled faintly. "Well, that doesn't surprise me given how curious you are."

[chloeas]

She shrugged a shoulder and picked up her burger, taking a bite of it to keep her mouth busy so she didn't have to reply, she hated feeling uncomfortable.

[dl_greenarrow]

He studied her for a moment and realized she suddenly wasn't so comfortable. A change of subject was in order, he realized. "So what do you say to renting a movie and just hanging out tonight?"
