It had been a long time since she'd seen Oliver, not because they'd been arguing this time, but because they'd both been busy. They still talked on the phone and emailed back and forth but she'd been working a lot at the Planet and he'd been running a lot of missions with the guys, which she'd been helping with, but she'd been working out of the Clocktower on her own since the 33.1s they were looking into were mostly out of the country.

It had been at least four weeks at this point since he was last in town and last time she checked, they were in Argentina, so she was more than a little surprised when she got Oliver's text that said: Up for lunch, Sidekick?.

So a little after one, she made her way out of the Planet and over to the Italian restaurant Oliver had suggested. Since their trip to New York, everyone at work knew she was close with him and although she was sure most people suspected they were sleeping together, she didn't want to give them proof of anything and she'd rather not be the subject of office gossip anyway.

He raised his eyebrows at that. "Well, I was just kidding. Now I'm slightly worried." He cocked his head to the side.

Chloe raised her eyebrows and picked up her wine, taking another sip as she smirked slowly at him.

Oliver narrowed his eyes at her. "Sneaky."

"You should have more wine, relax so you can rest," she pointed out. She hadn't really been watching him all the time, but she had been asking the others how he was doing and occasionally taking a look for herself.

"Two glasses with lunch is a little much, don't you think?" He studied her for a moment, relaxing a little anyway.

"Not if you're taking the afternoon off," she pointed out, watching him back.

He sighed inaudibly, giving her a look. "Fine. I'm not going to nap."

Chloe arched her eyebrows and nodded, "and why not?"

"I need to stop by the Q.I. office here, and then start some research." He shrugged a little, leaning back in his chair.

She nodded a little and took a deep breath, "of course."

He shrugged, giving her a faint, sheepish smile.

"Why don't you stay in the city a day longer? Go to QI tomorrow?" She suggested, pursing her lips together.
