A Great Christmas

Clark closed his book, leaving his finger for a bookmark, as he heard a knocking at his door. "Come in" he said already knowing who it would be. He watched as his best friends blonde head came around the door and bounced over to his bed. He and Chloe were staying at her grandparents for the night, they were in Metropolis to do their Christmas shopping. Chloe, not being a morning person, thought coming and staying here the night before was a better idea.

"Hey there" was all she said as she sat down next to him. Clark smiled at the energy she seemed to have at 1:30 in the morning. He couldn't help but notice how sexy Chloe was looking. She was only wearing one of his flannel shirts he had loaned her long ago. The shirt was so large on her and fell to about mid-thighs. He felt his boxers tent a bit and he quickly placed his book over it so Chloe wouldn't see. All he could muster was a, "Hi what's up?"

She gave him a smile before answering, "Ahh nothing really, just couldn't sleep. So I figured I would come and bother you." Chloe to had noticed how good Clark was looking. She scanned his body as she talked, he was only wearing his boxers and it was really a good look for him. She sunk down onto her side and propped her head up on her elbow. She looked back up at him, "Wow he is so gorgeous," was all she could think. She shook her head as to get the thoughts out, "And what about you Mr. Kent?"

Clark had been staring down at Chloe's legs since the minute she sat down. When she changed positions and started talking again he was brought out of his daze. "Umm, same here, couldn't sleep so I tried reading." He looked into her beautiful green eyes and saw nothing but true beauty. He loved that about Chloe, she looked amazingly beautiful without any make-up.

"Really, well what is our young Clark reading tonight to pass the time?" Chloe felt like being really sarcastic tonight. She couldn't explain it either, maybe it was just being around Clark practically naked, but it was something. She yawned though as the caffeine in her last cup of coffee was starting to wear off.

She was really full of the sarcastic tone tonight, not that Clark minded, it was sexy on Chloe. Clark just watched her lips form the question she had just asked and it took him a minute to respond, his mind had been wondering what it would be like to kiss those lips. Finally though he put a few words together and remembered the title of his book, after looking down at the cove, "To Kill A Mockingbird, actually." He laughed at her yawn, "I thought you said you weren't tired?"

Chloe swatted him with a pillow as he made a comment on her sudden sleepiness. "I don't know what it is, but the minute I laid down on his bed I got sleepy." Chloe placed a pillow under her head and started to close her eyes, it was as if Clark's bed was sucking out all of her energy and making her tired. "Hey Clark?"

"Yeah Chlo?"

"Read to me, I haven't read that book in forever and it is one of my favorites." Chloe remembered when they had to read it back in freshman year, she was one of the only few who looked forward to it because she loved the movie.

Clark chuckled at her request but he wouldn't deprive her of what she wanted. "Sure Chloe, not a problem." He smiled at how cute she looked and started to read to her.

He had been reading to Chloe for over half an hour, he knew she fell asleep a long time ago but he kept going until he himself got tired. He put his bookmark in the book and set it on his bedside table. He had no intention of waking Chloe up, she looked so peaceful and the bed was a Queen so both of them would fit fine. He tucked the blanket around her, to make sure she stayed warm, and got under the covers himself. He turned off the lamp and turned onto his side facing Chloe. Her face fell into the moonlight coming in from the window, it hit her face just perfect. He brushed away some of her hair in her face and whispered, "Sweet dreams Chlo" before closing his own eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

-x-This is my latest attempt at a good Chlark story, so my mind started with what I wanted to accomplish. But I had to build up a story to get these two there, so my brainstorming led to this. Hope you like it, please review and tell me what you think! I should be updating it soon.
