Reaching Out. With [livejournal.com profile] chloeas.

Oliver glanced at Chloe sideways as he sat behind the wheel of his little orange sports car as he drove them to the airport. The jet was leaving in a half-hour for Snowmass, Colorado. He was anxious to get out of Kansas, and not just because he was feeling restless, but because he truly thought it would do Chloe some good to get out of there for awhile, as well.

"Wanna listen to Christmas music?" he asked, reaching toward the radio.

He glanced at her sideways, reluctantly pulling his arm away from her. The last thing he wanted was to make her uncomfortable.

A faint smile tugged at his lips. "You want an itinerary?"

She smiled slightly and shook her head, sitting up a little more, "not an itinerary, just an idea since we won't be there for long."

He shrugged a little. "Depends. Whatever we feel like," he said, meeting her eyes once more.

"I assume you've been there before, right?" She asked, looking up at him.

"Actually, no," he admitted, shaking his head. "Always wanted to go, though."

"Oh," she raised her eyebrows and nodded, surprised, "I guess we'll explore it when we get there, then."

"You seem surprised." He studied her curiously.

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
With a nod, she shrugged a shoulder, "the way you were talking about it, I figured you had been there before."

"I've done a lot of reading on it," he told her quietly. "And Bruce swears it's the best place in the U.S. for skiing."

"Where have you gone skiing before?" She asked curiously.

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"The Alps," he admitted with a small grin, shrugging.

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
With a shake of her head, she smirked, "of course."

[identity profile] dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
He smirked back at her. "Would you rather go there? I can have the pilot change course." He was only half-kidding.

She knew he would take her seriously if she said yes but she shook her head, "somehow, I don't think a three day vacation is nearly long enough to go there."

"More like a week, at least," he agreed, more disappointed than he should have been, and trying not to analyze why.

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe some other time," she said without even realizing she was saying it, it just came out when she noticed the disappointment on his face.

"Holding you to that," he said with a grin and a wink.

[identity profile] chloeas.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I figured you would," she grinned, looking up at him.
