Disclaimer – I do not own anything in this story, except for the plot.

Bruce and Chloe entered the formal restaurant both hand in hand. When Bruce had come at Chloe's door to pick her up, Lois had only waved off their good-bye, too into the movie that she was currently watching. As the waiter immediately seated them, recognizing Bruce right away, he left them with their menus.

Chloe looked over the glow of the candlelight and looked at Bruce as she asked, "So what made you choose this restaurant for tonight?"

Bruce looked at her as he answered her honestly, "Well this is one of my favorite restaurants. Plus I love the beautiful view it gives." At the last part he smirked wondering if Chloe got the double-meaning. His thoughts were confirmed that she did when she looked down blushing.

"So what will you have?" Being the gentleman that he is, Bruce asked her first.

Chloe looked down at the menu and decided, "Well, I think I'll have the spaghetti and a salad. What about you?"

"I think I'll go with the steak." Bruce said, as signaled the waiter over to take their orders.


With the boys

The boys had been seated away from the door of the restaurant, but not too far. This way, they could see Chloe and Bruce, but they could not see them. At this moment Chloe and Bruce were being seated by a waiter.

"Does anyone else think its weird or think that someone else might find this slightly strange? Bart asked.

"What are you talking about?" Victor asked.

"The fact that it's like just us five guys having dinner together. It just seems a little weird." Bart said, as his attention wavered to one of the waitresses, who had just walked by.

"Whatever." A.C. said, as he rolled his eyes, knowing the typical Bart behavior.

"Ssshhh!" Oliver and Clark both shushed them at the same time, motioning them to be quiet as they listened in on the conversation between Chloe and Oliver.

Wow, Chloe looks gorgeous. Thought Clark, as he admired the way she looked in the black dress.

Hmmm… beautiful as always. Thought Oliver, as he watched Chloe accept the offered seat with a gracious 'thank you'.

Huh, I wonder if I should order some seafood and bug A.C. about it. Ha-ha, yeah … maybe some sushi. Thought Bart, as he grinned mischievously.

Then all five boys began listening in on the conversation going on between Bruce and Chloe. Both Oliver and Clark made weird faces and looked like they were trying not to gag when Bruce said his compliment to Chloe, which caused the rest of the boys to roll their eyes, even Bart.
With Chloe and Bruce

"So Chloe, tell me. Are there any new stories that you happen to be working on?" asked Bruce as he looked Chloe in the eyes.

"Actually," said Chloe as she put her wine glass down, "there is one."

"Really? Well do tell."

"See, I have to do this interview with this extremely rich guy. It's about his company which is currently working on this new project that's supposed to be helping people. Now seeing as how 'this guy' is so busy, I don't think I'll be able to meet with and get my interview." Chloe explained.

"Oh? Well tell me … who is this 'rich guy'" asked Bruce. Although he knew she was talking about him and Wayne Co., which was currently under work.

"Well … I can't seem to remember his name, it's a little fuzzy. But … I do know that he is a very charming man. He knows how to treat a lady, and very well at that." Said Chloe as she played along with him.

"And do you know this from experience?"

"Of course, I only talk of things that I have experienced. I don't believe in rumors. Well, actually in Smallville you kind of have to. But that's beside the point." Chloe said, waving her hand slightly.

"So Ms. Sullivan," said Bruce as he reached over and took her hand in his and rubbed his thumb over her hand. He gave her a charming smile that usually has most women melting in an instant and asked, "Do you always forget the names of such charming people who treat you like you should be treated?"

He's got me there. Chloe thought as she smiled back. How could she not, with him looking at her with that charming smile.

Seeing that he sort of won, Bruce smiled back at her genuinely.
Back with the boys

"You have to be kidding me! I mean how can she fall for that crappy line?" asked Oliver.

Victor had got up to use the bathroom, A.C. was at the tank where the fish were because apparently they were more fun to talk to, and Bart was trying to hit on some waitress.

Clark was in deep thought, thinking about the what if's in his life. He was wondering what life would have been like if Clark would have found out his feelings about Chloe sooner or later. As guilt was once again creeping into his mind, he was brought back to earth by Oliver.

A waitress came over and looked at them with a weird expression.

"Uh, maybe we should order something." Suggested Clark, when he noticed the waitress the same time Oliver did.

"Yeah. Um, we'll take two steaks, two spaghettis ; one with meatballs and one without, and one order of pasta with alfredo sauce please. Thank you." Clark gave him a look when he finished ordering and the waitress left.

"What? So I know the food here, sue me." Oliver shrugged his shoulders, as if it was normal for him, which it was.

"What … do all billionaires come here?" Clark asked him, arching an eyebrow.

"No. Only the people who can afford it." Joked Oliver trying to do a billionaire-to-farm boy joke. At which Clark just shook his head and looked back the date. After about a few minutes, the rest of the boys returned and began to eat the free meal, which Oliver was kindly paying for.
"Excuse me Bruce, I have to go to the lady's room. I'll be back." Chloe said as she stood up with her purse in her hand and left for the bathroom at Bruce's nod.

As soon as she got in, she looked under all the stalls to check to see if anyone was there. Luckily no one was. As soon as she thought she was safe, she pulled out her cell phone and speed-dialed Lois' cell phone.

"Yeah?" same Lois' voice, distracted. Chloe could hear the distinct sound of the TV being on.

"Lois?" Chloe asked, trying to get Lois' attention, knowing that she was watching TV or a movie.

"What's up? Anything wrong?" asked Lois, giving her cousin her 100 undivided attention.

"Oh nothing much … just that Bruce is perfect! Chloe exclaimed.

"Oh my god … Chloe get out of there now and call the cops!" Lois exclaimed sarcastically.

"Seriously Lo," said Chloe not amused, "he is being so perfect."

"And?"

"Well … what do I do? I mean I've never gone out with someone like him . I mean the guys I have gone out with have never really treated me like he does. Especially on the first date. Well, except for Jimmy." She concluded her rant.

"Hmm, well just relax and go with the flow." Lois advised.

"Go with the flow? Go with the flow? Lois … that doesn't help. I mean he's literally perfect."

"Ok, he can't be that good." Said Lois refusing to believe what her cousin would only confide in her, that any guy could be like that.

"Yeah? Well, he's so far been a complete gentlemen, flirted but not too much, been polite but jokes around, he's not shy like Clark though—"

"Smallville? C'mon cuz … at least he's … blunt and can say what he feels unlike a certain shy farm boy." Lois said. "Plus, be glad he's not some sleaze bag trying to cop a feel." She added. "Now go back to your date and let me get back to my movie. I'm watching the fog, so bye." Lois hung up with a laugh.

Chloe let out a chuckle as she said, "Thanks Lois." Even though she knew Lois couldn't hear her.

So … what did you think? Please review!
