Twelve days of Christmas with dl_greenarrow

[chloesullivan]

She couldn't wait to get home, not only because she was incredibly curious about whatever gift Ollie had waiting for her, but also because she was on vacation and that meant time with him without worrying about work or anything, and then they would leave to Smallville, which she had no doubt would be nice, with Lois, Clark, Lucy, Mrs. Kent and her dad around, it would be a good Christmas.

Shifting restlessly between her feet, she watched the numbers as the elevator went up impatiently, stepping out and looking around, "Ollie?"

He poked his head out of the guest room and flashed her a grin. "Be right there," he promised, ducking back inside once more.

Chloe cocked her head and grinned softly at him, nodding, "okay, I'll wait here."

She placed her purse on the couch and took her shoes off then moved to sit down as she waited for him, all the gifts he had already given her, she had no idea what else to expect.

"Now we wanna surprise her," Oliver whispered softly, picking up the small, fur-covered wiggly creature and cradling her against his chest. "So no sounds." She looked up at him inquisitively. He grinned and opened the door. "Close your eyes," he called down the hall.

She could hear him whispering but not make sense of the words, Chloe closed her eyes as instructed then grinned, "I have to say, if you're dressed up as sexy Santa? Big turnoff." she teased.

He grinned. "I may have fed her a few treats since I brought her home a couple hours ago," he admitted.

Rubbing a hand over the dog's back, she nodded, "this is a Christmas present I'm glad to share with you." A pause and she turned to look at him again, "have you ever had a dog?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"No." He shook his head a little. "But I've always wanted one." He smiled at her. "I've been researching the last few weeks. She's current on all immunizations and everything."

Oliver chuckled softly. "No, I think she clearly has her very own personality," he agreed, petting the pup softly.

Turning her head she kissed his cheek and looked up at him, "while we think about a name, can I just remind you how amazingly awesome you are?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He grinned at her. "Oh, compliments are always acceptable," he teased with a nod, winking at her.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Well, no." He grinned at her. "I love that." He gazed at her.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She raised her eyebrows a little and smiled, "love what?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"The sound of your laughter," he admitted.

Oliver smiled as the puppy whined a little, wagged her tail and then licked Chloe's cheek. "I think that means you're forgiven," he teased.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She laughed softly and picked the puppy up, "well, thank you, good to know you forgive easily." With a glance at Ollie, she moved the dog to his lap gently, "now I can get up to get your gift."

He took the pup without hesitation, chuckling when she barked softly and put a paw on his shoulder. He watched Chloe get up and head away, then looked at their so far nameless dog once more. He gently scratched behind her ears.

He couldn't help but grin when the pup whined a little. "You're right. She'll want to stay in our room."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe laughed softly and looked down to the dog, scratching her behind her ear, "not on our bed though, that'd be weird."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Maybe at the foot of the bed?" He grinned a little sheepishly. All right, so maybe he was already wrapped around the little puppy's paw.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He smirked and looked down at the puppy. "Hear that, Pup? She wants to name you after a coffee drink."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She laughed when the puppy barked, "is that a yes or a no? How about Latte?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Or Arrowette," he teased.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"She has a family now," he murmured, turning his head to look at her intently.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She smiled softly, a little surprised by the intensity of his gaze, but she knew how important family was to him, so she nodded, leaning closed and kissing him softly, "thanks to you."

"Thanks to us," he said quietly, kissing her back without hesitation.
