Why Him

[mystic_blue17]

She loved that he looked good in leather. And a business suit. And bare thread jeans. And nothing at all. It was no hardship to look at Oliver. He was all tight muscles and contained strength.

It should have bothered her that he dated her cousin and quite publicly on top of that. Lois and Oliver were two peas in a pod with their straight

This was nice. I especially loved this paragraph right here because I felt like this is something Oliver truly does for her even though she might not have realized it at first.

"She fell for a guy who truly understood her, no holds barred. All her quirks, her thirst for justice, her uncontrollable attraction to danger. He never blinked when she brought her phone to the bed. He laughed in exhilaration when there was an alarm in the middle of the night. He was always willing to listen to her orders. And he did all that with the zeal of a solider. But when the mission was over, he held her as a woman, not a commander. He made her yearn for something beyond stained glass."

so Chloe is very private, i had to agree about that, and thanks for pointing to me that scene in Escape, i will watch this again to notice this...

What it came down to was that Oliver never forgot her.

He made her yearn for something beyond stained glass

I agree with all your listed reasons why Chloe loves Oliver, but the above really says it all. It's in the way Oliver treats Chloe and the way he makes her feel. I see this taking place after Checkmate, I know a lot of people don't believe her to be in love this early on, but Chloe is a smart girl she knows her own inner workings, it's just the following through part that's hard for her, because of all the BS in her past.

I hope you'll write more from Chloe's POV because this was excellent hun..:))

So sweet! An insight on Chloe's head that I loved. I totally agree with all those reasons.

I notice that scene in Escape too. Seems like I wasn't the only one! xD And it annoys me too that Chlollie is so private, but hey, secrecy can be good too! =D
