Chloe yawned and stretched, feeling thoroughly loved. She rolled over to find the other half of the bed empty. She smiled at the memory of the night before. A.C came into the bedroom carrying a tray, fruit, toast and a large Finding Nemo coffee mug with Dori, Nemo, and squirt playing in the coral. If the liquid was hot Marlin would appear, as it got colder he would disappear.

"I don't want to ever here that I don't have a sense of humor." He grinned, "I bought this for you." Chloe laughed, and sat up. He set the tray on her lap. "Frank called and he said he's leaving soon and should be at the airport by 10:30." Chloe looked at her watch, it was 8:45.

"Are you packed already?" she asked knowing the answer to that.

"Yup. Frank also said there would be a car here at 9:45" Chloe nodded as she worked on her breakfast. "I left you an extra bag on the bed for the rest of your stuff."

"I'm not going to need an extra bag…."

"Ohh OK!" he laughed. His phone rang from the living room. "Hurry it up sidekick we don't have all day." He patted her knees and then stood to go answer his phone. He was on the phone with his dad forever, sitting on his deck. So when Chloe came out dressed and ready to go 45 min later he was shocked.

"Alright dad, talk to you later." He hung up. Chloe looked like an angel in a soft pastel summer dress, and her flip flops. A.C stood and smiled.

"What?"

"You're beautiful."

"You need your eyes examined,"

"Better than perfect vision above and below water." He spoke kissing her. She sighed. He pulled back and led her back into the room. He shut and locked his patio door. He saw her bags by the door next to his, including the extra bag.

"Not a word Curry, not…a ….word." she spoke laughing. He only shook his head. He was gathering up his lap top bag and stuff when the driver showed up. He carried out Chloe's luggage first and got her settled into the SUV. He then went back grabbed his stuff and made sure everything was locked up and left a note for his dad. He came back a few minutes later set his bags in the back and then joined Chloe. The driver then took off toward the airport. Chloe was looking at the scenery passing them by and slid her hand across the seat to A.C's. He took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze.

They were at the airport in no time at all. All bags loaded onto the sleek jet. Chloe was thanking the driver while A.C was talking to Frank the pilot. They both got seated, the attendant shut the doors and they began taxiing to their runway.

Chloe was resting her head against A.C's shoulder. He lifted the arm rest and wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer to him.

"Bart is gonna freak out."

"All you have to do is say one word and this word will guarantee he won't tease you AT all."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah, last year we went to Mexico for vacation,"

"You and the guys?" she asked kinda feeling left out.

"And Dinah, why?"

"Oh nothing." She got quiet and tried to pull away from him.

"Chlo, we didn't ask you cause at the time you were a little preoccupied." He spoke tap dancing around the subject.

"Oh." she spoke.

"Tower," he spoke, "No more, you are going every where we do, if you want. We just thought that you know 'ol what's his face' would have objected to you traipsing off with a group of guys."

"You're right, absolutely." she sighed. "So what's the word?"

"Carmelita" he smiled kissing the side of her head. She laughed and could only imagine why that name would get to Bart. The flight was uneventful; they landed at the Metropolis airport mid afternoon. They were greeted at the airport by Vic.

He had the suburban, he greeted Chloe with a warm hug and A.C with a hand shake.

"Glad to see you made it back ok, Nemo." He teased.

"Well, Autobot, it was a quick trip." He sassed back.

"Alright boys," Chloe spoke using her best Mom voice.

"Sorry Tower." Vic spoke. Chloe shook her head. She smiled; she patted A.C on the bottom and then turned to help unload her bags. Vic eyes got really wide and A.C blushed and turned. Chloe was busy loading all her bags into the 'burban. "So I take it you two had a good vacation?"

"It was alright?" teased Chloe while winking at A.C.

"Ouch fish stick." Vic teased. "Seriously though, it's about damn time. You to have been worse than Ollie and Dinah. So if you two figured it out maybe there's hope for them."

"Thanks man." A.C spoke.

"Bart however is going to flip out." He spoke teasing Chloe as he went and grabbed the last of her bags. A.C grabbed his bags and loaded them up. Soon they were on their way to the Tower. Chloe had gotten real quiet and nervous. A.C was driving and Vic was riding shot gun. A.C would peak in the rear view to see Chloe ringing her hands.

When they arrived at the Clock tower, Vic helped them carry all their bags upstairs. A.C grabbed Chloe's hand and laced his fingers with hers. She looked up at him and smiled. He leaned and gave her a warm kiss and that's when the elevator door opened.

"Dude remove your fish lips from Chloelicious, like now!" Bart yelled.

"Simmer down little fella." A.C snapped. He kissed Chloe again and they walked hand in hand into the condo. Lois and Clark were there, plus Ollie and Dinah.

"Ach! My eyes, my eyes!" he shouted.

"Bart chill." Chloe spoke over his theatrics at the moment. She was so nervous he wasn't making it any better.

"Told ya, Lois." Clark spoke to his wife who was sitting in his lap.

"Chloe?" she asked.

"Look every body, not that this is any of YOUR business, but yes, A.C and I are together. Get your comments, snark, and inappropriate platitudes out of your system while he helps me take my stuff to my room. I don't want to hear it when we come back. Got it!" she spoke in a huff. A.C already had her bags in his hands except for 2. She grabbed them and they went upstairs. "As for you Bart one word, just one, and I am told to remind you about CARMELITA" she spoke as they reached the top of the stairs went down the hall to her room and after they entered she shut the door, dropped her bags and collapsed on the bed.

A.C set her bags down gently and sat on the edge of the bed just staring at her.

"What?" she asked, sitting up.

"That was really hot." He smiled. He kissed her warmly. "This is definitely going to be an adventure with you isn't it?" He smiled. She was blushing and laughing and hugged him knowing that he was absolutely right.
