Accidentally in Love

Chapter 11: Fights & Misunderstandings

"Hi, you've reached Clark at his cell. I can’t get to the phone right now, but leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible."

“Clark, it’s Oliver,” Oliver said, “I’m sorry I didn’t call you back last night. I had plans and I didn’t even hear my cell phone. Anyway, give me a call and maybe we can do something today. Talk to you soon.”

Hanging up, Oliver frowned at the phone. He had been highly disappointed when he returned home to find that Clark had left messages. God knows he would have rather been having dinner with Clark than attend that boring party. But by the time he had gotten home, it had been really late and he was too exhausted to do anything but sleep.

How he managed to survive those long hours, he had no idea. He hated being around those tedious, self-centered corporate executives who cared about nothing but themselves and their money. Oliver was proud of keeping his parents’ company running and upholding the Queen name. But sometimes, it was frustrating working in the business world.

Not that there weren’t perks. He was very grateful for his cushy life but that didn’t mean he didn't have any issues.

Like when he missed out on quality Clark time because he had these type of obligations. Oliver rubbed his forehead and wondered why Clark wasn’t picking up his phone. Part of him wanted to call the apartment but he was too worried that Lois or Chloe would pick up.

Both girls knew about Clark and his friendship but he didn’t want to raise suspicions by calling him on a Sunday morning.

Kara was the only one who knew about what they were really doing and when Clark admitted that he told her, he had actually been relieved. He knew that she would cover for them to Chloe and Lois. And with the amount of time they spent together, Oliver knew that they would need a cover from time to time.

He had seen Clark more in the past two weeks than the entire few months that he was in Smallville previously combined. Not that he was complaining, being with Clark relaxed him. They had a full disclosure policy and the lack of lies within their relationship took away the stress. Clark didn’t judge him and he believed he could tell the brunette anything. It warmed his heart that Clark felt the same.

In fact, they had been spending so much time together it was almost odd when he woke up alone that morning. And he felt strangely incomplete without Clark beside him. 'Don’t be silly, the two of you are just friends with benefits. Which means, you can be buddies and have sex. There is no point in getting all mushy. What would Clark say if he heard your thoughts?'

He’d probably be worried that Oliver was getting in too deep with their arrangement. Then, that may result in him freaking out and pushing Oliver away. And there was no way that Oliver wanted that to happen.

Besides, he was happy with their current arrangement. What they were doing was good enough and he didn’t need more.

Right?

Clark had heard the phone ring and checking the caller id, he found out it was Oliver. But he hadn’t picked it up. Not when he had no idea what to say. Fortunately, Chloe and Lois had just left so they weren’t around to witness his strange behavior.

He had never been so confused before. It was him who had told Oliver he didn’t want a relationship but then, he was getting jealous when he saw Ollie with another woman. Over the past hour, his mind had been bringing up all types of unwanted images, most of them involving Oliver having sex with the model.
