"Where should we eat?" Lana asked, lifting the strap of her bag and letting go of it.
"Um, I don't know. Somewhere near the Planet, I need to be there in two hours." Chloe nodded in response as she looked at her cellphone. "Hey, up to having Clark come along?"
"Sure." Lana smiled. "We're trying to be friends again, so having you around might help it move along."
"Glad to help, then." Chloe smiled back. She looked around. "Uhm..how about there? Breakfast is probably still serving, it's only nine." She pointed out a nice little restaurant and threw in the breakfast part because she wanted breakfast.
"As long as theres breakfast." Lana responded. Chloe closed her phone and looked up, watching as Clark appeared in front of the restruant. "That's going to take a little getting used to." Lana laughed as she waved at Clark.
"You'll get used to it soon enough. It's kind of cool after a while, having your own human transportation." Chloe grinned, glancing at Lana. "Hey super Clark. You need to be a little more careful, someone might've saw you."
"Yeah, well, they didn't. That's all that matters." Clark shrugged as they approached him. "Hi Lana."
Lana smiled and nodded in acknowledgment at Clark.
As they entered the restaurant and got their menus and seats, Lana immediately pointed out the pistachio ice cream that was available for deserts. Clark looked in confusion as Chloe and Lana giggled with each other at it. After ordering and getting their coffee, they started to discuss random stuff.
"You know, it's so much easier to hang out with the two of you at the same time now that Lana knows." Chloe blurted out, leaning back.
"It is a huge burden off my shoulders." Clark continued.
"And mine." Lana agreed with the two.
All of their eyes wandered off to a couple that just walked past them in curiosity.
"Was that..?"
"Oliver?" Chloe frowned, trying to get a better look at him. "And he's with a girl." Chloe gasped. "Oh, that MAN WHORE."
"Whoa Chloe." Clark replied to her statement in a calm matter. "I'm just wondering why he's in Metropolis."
"What? He told me last night he was going to see you."
"He went to see YOU?"
"Okay." Lana said as a small argument was about to form. "Oliver came by to talk to Lois, Chloe told him he wasn't there, and then he asked where you were, so she just assumed he went to see you."
"What are you, the peace maker now?" Chloe raised her eyebrows in surprise at Lana. Lana laughed silently, but then got serious again.
"I'm going to go talk to h-"
"NO!" Chloe snapped. "I want to see what he does so I can yell at him for it later."
"You mean spy?" Clark frowned
"Exactly, sheesh." Chloe said, starring at the couple. When Oliver looked up, Chloe ducked under the table.
"Coast is clear, you weirdo." Clark said, motioning for Chloe to get back up. Chloe sighed and climbed back into her seat next to Lana.
"Why cant he date other girls, Chlo?" Lana asked. "Him and Lois aren't together anymore."
"Because he broke up with her because he was leaving, now he's back and with some other girl." Chloe responded, quickly.
"But-"
"Don't bother, Lana, she's not going to let go of it." Clark warned teasingly. Chloe nodded in agreement and kept watching the blond and brunette couple.
"You know what, I'm not going to let it get to me." Chloe said, turning in her seat to face Lana and Clark. "I'll just tell Lois about it so she can handle him herself."
"Chloe, no. Do you really think Lois wants to hear that her ex came back and is with another girl?" Clark frowned, making a good point. God Chloe hated it when he did that.
"Damn. You're right. But I want him to suffer."
"I think you should just leave him alone."
"Fine, whatever." Chloe sighed, as the food was brought to them. "Lets forget it."
Chloe let out a slow breath as she to the very side of the rooftop of the Daily Planet. She had her gloved hands in her coat pockets while shivering slightly, still freezing. She looked around the bright Metropolis lights as a cold gush of air pushed at her, as if wanting her to fall off. She sighed and stepped back a bit, afraid of doing just that. When she felt herself bump into something too early, she whipped around and her eyes widened as she felt herself being pushed into the person with their cold hand over her mouth. She attempted to scream as she was dragged to the side facing the alley of the rooftop. Without hesitation, she moved away from the person when they let go. She recognized them immediately.
"And you're supposed to be a hero?!" Chloe yelled in anger, clutching her fists tightly, ready to punch him. He sighed and took off his shades, tossing them aside.
"Okay, okay, calm down, I knew you wouldn't-""No! Goddamn! I almost had a heart attack! What is your problem?!" Chloe continued, clenching her teeth and stepping up to him to get up close with his face. She didn't know why she wasn't scared, probably because she knew he wasn't going to really hurt her.
"My problem is-""I don't care!"
"My problem is." He continued, calmly as her body was inches away from his. "Clark came to my apartment and said you thought I was going out with that girl in the restaurant. I'm just doing business with her."
"Oh, how pathetic." Chloe spat, attempting to be intimidating. Instead, she earned a smirk out of him, which only make the fire inside her burn much more. "You think I'm going to believe that? Clark may be able to fall for peoples crappy lies, but I've-"
"Okay, princess, lets just calm down here-"
"Princess?!" Chloe shrilled. "I am not a princess, do not call me that, you're not helping yourself in any shape or form here."
"Okay, CHLOE." He sighed, putting his hands on her shoulders, only to have them be smacked off by her hands. "Will you please just calm down and listen to what I have to say?""Why should I listen to you after you made me think I was about to be raped?" Chloe growled, lips pierced.
"Because I knew you wouldn't talk to me if I didn't."
"Alright, fine, wanna talk? Lets talk about how you-"
"God, how do people put up with you?" He snarked, obviously losing his patience.
"I'm nice to people I like." Chloe shot back, whipping around and attempting to walk off. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back with a sigh.
"I thought you understood why I broke up with Lois? I have other reasons why I broke up with her too, you know." He frowned.
"Oh? Well then, I'd like to hear them."
"Did Lois tell you about her kiss with the Green Arrow?" He put air quotes around Green Arrow.
"Well, yeah.."
"Then you know how much she liked it, right?""Well, she did say she felt bad.."
"Exactly."
"What, is that the only reason?" Chloe frowned, crossing her arms.
"Plus what I told you yesterday."
"Right.." Chloe sighed, suddenly feeling a little guilty about going off at him. Well, he did make her think someone was kidnapping her. "Are you sure it was just business?"
"Well, I think she likes me, but I don't like her." He said, truthfully. "But honestly, me and Lois are broken up, that means I should be able to date."
"You broke up with her because you were leaving!" Chloe retorted angrily. "You make no sense what-so-ever!"
"No, god!" He sighed in frustration. This girl was certainly hard to deal with. "I broke up with her because of what we just talked about. You-are-incapable-of-getting-over-things!"
Chloe frowned. She did realize that he did have other reasons for breaking up with Lois. But that last part got to her. She turned and started to walk away, not letting him stop her. He sighed, deciding not to try as she left him calmly to go back into the Planet.
