A new year with dl_greenarrow

[chloeas]

It was New Years even and they had planned on laying low, or Oliver's version or laying low, which included buying Chloe an incredibly expensive dress and inviting her to dinner at Fazzano's, one of the most exclusive restaurants in Metropolis. Which Chloe didn't argue about since when she dragged him to Smallville for both Thanksgiving and

He was staring nervously out the window that overlooked the rooftop when she spoke and he turned, his eyes widening slightly. He felt the breath catch in his throat. "Wow," he whispered, moving to her side. "You look stunning," he murmured.

[chloeas]

"Thanks to you," she said with a smile, looking up at him and lifting a hand to rub his arm, "you have a great taste in dresses, by the way."

[dl_greenarrow]

"Trust me, it's not the dress," he said softly, meeting her eyes and lifting a hand to her cheek. "It's the woman wearing it."

[chloeas]

"Thank you," she said quietly, leaning closer and kissing him gently, "you look amazing too, Ollie."

[dl_greenarrow]

Great, he thought. Let her know just how nervous you really are, Queen.

"Just hungry," he said with a wink, taking her gently by the arm and guiding her into the elevator.

[chloeas]

With a nod, she placed her hand over his and squeezed it, "I am too."

[dl_greenarrow]

He smiled and slid his hand into hers, interlacing their fingers as he pushed the down button with his free hand. He knew the limo driver was downstairs waiting already, along with a fresh boquet of orange tulips in the back of the limo. He glanced at Chloe for a moment, his eyes filled with warmth.

[chloeas]

She squeezed his hand and smiled up at him, frowning when the elevator stopped at street level instead of the garage, "we're walking?"

[dl_greenarrow]

He smiled against her lips and then leaned his head against hers when the kiss ended. He reached up and took her hand in his, kissing her knuckles softly. "I love you."

[chloeas]

"I love you too," she said quietly, watching him and brushing his cheek with her thumb softly.

[dl_greenarrow]

He leaned into her touch, closing his eyes for a moment.

[chloeas]

Chloe moved her hand over to his neck, rubbing softly as she leaned closer and kissed his cheek.

[dl_greenarrow]

"The new year?" he suggested. "New beginnings?" His voice was soft.

[chloeas]

"New beginnings," she agreed, her glass touching his gently before she sipped on it. One year ago, she would never even have dreamed that this was where she would be now.

[dl_greenarrow]

He took a sip of his drink as well, keeping his gaze on her. "It never fails to amaze me," he murmured.

[chloeas]

Cocking her head, she placed her glass back down and shook her head, confused, "what doesn't?"

[dl_greenarrow]

"Just a little surprise. Don't worry, though. It's still early." He glanced at his watch. It wasn't quite ten yet.

[chloeas]

Chloe nodded, watching him suspiciously then shrugging, "I know, I'm sure she's fine."

[dl_greenarrow]

He kissed her cheek, keeping her close as the driver drove the car down the street and several blocks away to the park. Oliver climbed out of the backseat, holding out his hand to her.

[chloeas]

Frowning in confusion, she took his hand, climbing out of the car and looking towards the park, shaking her head a little, "what are we doing here?"
