Chapter four
It took Chloe nearly forty minutes to reach the abandoned warehouse.
If she could get proof of what was going down tonight, she could be about to break the biggest story of the year so far.
She watched from the side of the building as two large trucks appeared and there content was unloaded into the warehouse. She took pictures of the men and immediately sent them to her email at the daily planet.
Chloe waited patiently for the trucks to disappear again before she attempted to get inside the warehouse. Finding an open window at the back of the building, she managed to crawl through onto a small wooden platform and was startled when somebody pulled her up to her feet.
“Now Tink, I seem to remember this little scenario playing out once before.”
“What are YOU doing here?” She asked brushing herself down and looking around in every direction other than his.
“The question is what are you doing here? Date with the boy scout not go to plan?”
Chloe turned to face him in surprise. “You knew about that?”
“You’d be amazed at all the things I know about you Tink!” The green arrow stepped closer to her and Chloe was tempted to reach up and remove his sunglasses.
“And to think, I know hardly anything about you.” Chloe’s curiosity was really beginning to get the better of her and without thinking she reached for his glasses.
Oliver having the quicker reflex, grabbed Chloe’s wrist and stepped back from her grasp,
“In time Tink, All in good ...... “Misjudging the step, Ollie fell the short distance from the platform to the floor below, taking Chloe with him.
They landed on top of one another with a thud and exchanged an awkward glance.
God, she was beautiful and Ollie wanted her badly, so badly he was thinking about doing more than kissing right there and then.
Before either had time to think, Ollie rolled them until he was hovering over Chloe on his elbows and lowered his head to meet her lips.
It was a kiss full of passion, of need and urgency that lasted until oxygen became an issue.
“Wow that was…..” Chloe bit her bottom lip nervously, feeling extremely warm and self conscious under his gaze.
It was tormenting to be able to feel this close to him and not know his true identity either.
She didn’t have chance to dwell on her thoughts as once again there lips met, this time she felt the green arrow’s hand begin to trail down the side of her body and underneath to place his grasp on her butt.
Before she knew it Chloe’s legs had wrapped around his waist, pulling his leather clad body closer.
She couldn’t get enough of his touch, his scent. She had craved it and now she had it, Chloe wanted to drink it all in.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do this.” The green arrow broke the kiss and jumped to his feet, leaving Chloe to come crashing back to earth and at a loss for words.
“Well it’s not like it’s the first time you’ve kissed me.” Chloe was confused as she climbed to her feet, brushing the dust and dirt from her clothing.
“I know and I’m sorry.” Ollie was ashamed, he had promised himself, it wouldn’t happen again and here he was preparing to take things a few steps further than kissing.
Lying on the floor, with Chloe in his arms had felt so good, too good. The feel of her lips on his, the taste of her mouth and the scent of all things Chloe. She had him drowning and he had forgotten his surroundings for a brief second and let his guard down.
“It’s complicated Tink. I……….” He was interrupted by the sound of a key turning in a lock.
Grabbing Chloe’s hand, he pulled her behind one of the crates and safe from view.
“Yes everything went to plan.” The guy ran his hand over one of the crates as he talked into his cell phone. “No interruptions or hiccups. The way I see it we are ready to start phase two of the project…” There was a short silence and Chloe desperately tried to remain still.
“…..very well Sir, and today’s special delivery? “ He continued to wander the length of the warehouse becoming awfully close to the Crate where Chloe and the Green arrow were hiding.
“Don’t move.” The green arrow whispered in Chloe’s ear, sending a shiver down her spine as his breathing quickened, coating the back of her neck.
“Alive and well Mr Luthor.”
Chloe took a sharp intake of breath, She didn’t know why she was so surprised hearing the Luthor named mentioned it had only confirmed her earlier suspicions.
“Fine, I’m just securing the warehouse and heading home.” He turned on his heels and headed back towards the door where he had entered. His voice becoming more distant until it finally disappeared and the door shut.
“So Tink, you want to fill me in or do I have to do it the hard way? “ The green arrow asked as they re emerged from behind the crate.
“There’s nothing to tell. I was researching for another story when I found that this company had brought out 3 of the warehouses in this area and they had become a hive of activity. Now I know that probably doesn’t sound very suspicious but when deliveries started arriving at crazy hours and the place was deserted in the day time, I decided to check it out.”
“What’s in these deliveries? “ He asked finding himself mesmerized by her lips as she spoke.
“I just assumed it was dodgy electrical goods or maybe drugs but then I started to ID some of the guys that were hanging around and I found out a couple of them were former employees of Luthorcorp. Now I’m not so sure! “
“Well I guess there is only one way to find out.” He smirked as he began to open one of the crates.
“It’s empty! “ Ollie stated, as he began to work on another crate.
“I don’t understand. What would Luthorcorp want with empty crates?“ Chloe looked at the green arrow questioningly. “And why would that guy say the delivery was alive and well? This doesn’t add up. “
“Your right but we need to get out of here.” Oliver climbed up the platform he had fallen from earlier towards the open window. He offered his hand to Chloe to help her up but she didn’t follow him.
Instead she stared him down and stood with her hands on her hips.
“Let’s get something clear. I can cope with your superhero complex and the constant need to rescue me and for some crazy reason I seem to trust you but I’m not going to let you just turn up, make out with me, make me go weak at the knees and then run off without an explanation. I am just not that kind of girl. I need to know what exactly is going on here…?”
“Weak at the knees…huh, that was some kiss.” Ollie smirked getting himself an icy glare from Chloe.
“Ok, Ok! “ He jumped back down from the platform to stand in front of her, running his hands over her shoulders.
“Truth is Tink, I’m not sure what is going on. All I know is that I can’t get through the day without thinking about you and when I’m near you, I can’t help myself. “He ran his fingers down her cheek and brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “But right now, I can’t do this and I know that’s not the explanation you wanted Tink. I‘m sorry.”
“Well there will just have to be no more kissing then.” She moved away from him and climbed up onto the platform.
“You make that sound really easy,” he smirked. “At least let me walk you to your car, Tink?“ He followed after her feeling disappointed and his mind set on what he had to do next.
~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~
“Hey Chloe, wake up. I made coffee.” Lois placed the mug on the bedside table and sat on the bottom of the bed. Chloe let out a moan and opened her eyes.
“What do you want Lois?” She asked sitting up, when it became clear Lois wasn’t moving and obviously had something to say.
“What happened to you last night? Running out in the middle of the movie and not getting in until god knows what time this morning! “
“I had a lead on my case and had to follow it up, sorry Lois. Did I miss anything after I left?”
“No, Ollie bailed on me ten minutes after you did, which then left me and Smallville ALONE, to go get ice cream.”
“Hey… what’s wrong with Clark?" Chloe asked sipping the coffee. "He is good company.“ Lois gave her a cold glare and Chloe changed the subject. “So where did Oliver disappear too?”
“Oh, some business deal on the other side of the world or something. Oliver doesn’t exactly tell me a lot lately, he can be very secretive.” Lois’ facial expression changed and she seemed upset.
“Everything is ok between you two isn’t it? “
“I’m not sure Chloe to be honest, I really like Ollie but lately he has just been so preoccupied with work and he is so distant it’s like he doesn’t even care if I’m around or not ! “
“Maybe he is just busy, you should talk to him, tell him how you feel.”
“Yeah or I could just call it a day.”
“Don’t be stupid Lois, Talk to the guy first I’m sure your just over reacting. You two look so good together; you’d be silly to throw it all away.”
“Maybe,” she seemed doubtful and not very enthusiastic. “It’s just….” She was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Chloe knew her cousin demanded a lot of attention while in a relationship. But it wasn’t like her to want to throw in the towel so easily. Maybe the novelty of dating a billionaire had finally worn off!
“Oliver what are you doing here? “ Lois asked surprised to see him at the street door unannounced.
