In the morning, Chloe woke up with Bruce's arm wrapped around her waist. She smiled and then blushed remembering last night's events.

Sunshine spilled from the window onto the bed making patterns of light on the bedcovers and sheets. It's Christmas! As if her loud thoughts woke him, Bruce stirred. She turned to face him. "Morning" she said. His eyes opened for a millisecond he looked confused wondering why she was laying next to him on his bed naked. Then he smiled his memory reminding him of why she was there.

"Hey Chloe" he said placing kisses along her neck and lips. She laughed as his fingers tickled her. He stopped and sat up, "I'm starving," he said. She grinned mischievously, "Me too" Suddenly she pulled him back down, and laid on him. "Absolutely starving" she whispered. Teasing him with a short kiss, she grabbed his wrists and pinned them to the mattress. Bruce smirked and flipped her so she was underneath him, his fingers wrapped around her small wrists. "Well then lets get some breakfast," he murmured.

"Cheater" she said wrinkling her nose at him. He laughed, and got off her. Chloe frowned and sat up wrapping the sheets around her body. "I have no clothes," she announced. She walked out the sheets dragging behind her, and headed to her room. Bruce couldn't help but laugh at the site. Once they dressed in sweats, they headed downstairs to the kitchen.

Alfred looked up at them and raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Chloe managed to claim the kitchen for the day and cooked Bruce her farm style breakfast. It took her much longer than usually because he kept distracting her with kisses, and touches.

After breakfast they sat done in the living room, and Bruce started a toasty fire. "I'll be right back" she said and kissed him lightly. She ran upstairs and grabbed the present she had bought him. When she arrived Bruce was standing up his hands behind his back. She eyed him curiously and approached him. He smiled at her, "Merry Christmas Chloe" he brought his hands from behind his back and handed a small box wrapped in shiny light blue paper with a dark blue bow. She smiled, "Merry Christmas Bruce" She handed him his box and took hers. Bruce opened his first; he took out the watch and put it on.

"Do you like it?" she asked nervously. His eyes twinkled, "Yes. How did you know I needed a new watch?" She shrugged, "Alfred" Chloe opened her present it under the wrapping paper was a box she opened that and gasped. It was a necklace with a sapphire pendant in shape of a teardrop. "Oh Bruce." She breathed out. He raised her chin up and kissed her, "I love you Chloe"

She felt a tear fall down her cheek she was so happy that she'd thought she would burst. He helped her put it on and wiped away her tear. "I love you too," she said. He kissed her again so happy she had responded to him.

Alfred slipped in watching the happy couple, "Master Bruce if I do say so myself it was about time" They laughed and for the first time the Manor was cozy and full of life.

Chloe ran upstairs to call Clark. The phone rang and Clark picked it up. "Hey it's me," she said. "Hey Chloe" he replied. She smiled at his voice; "Merry Christmas" "Merry Christmas to you to Chloe" "So how's the family?" she asked. "Fine. We finished opening our presents. I need to give you yours." He replied. "How's Gotham?" he asked lightly although she could hear the strain in his voice to be friendly. "Its great. I went to a party last night and met half the people here." "That's good. Can I go over there…to deliver your present?" he asked. She bit her lip knowing it wasn't a good idea. "But Clark…Bruce will get suspicious."

"I'll only be there for like 3 minutes and then I'll leave" he insisted. "Ok just make it quick" she said hurriedly and hung up. She went downstairs and paced, Bruce had disappeared with Alfred for once she was glad Bruce wasn't here. In less than 20 seconds Clark was knocking on the door. She opened it and let him inside.

He glanced around at the inside of the house and his eyes grew wide.

"You must have had a good Christmas," he said. He carried a small box for her and held it out. "Here its for my mom and me." She smiled and opened it, inside was a sweater she had drooled over last time she was in Smallville. "Thanks Clark" she said and hugged him. Clark breathed in her scent and felt the familiar flash of jealousy. Feeling bold she placed a kiss on his cheek having to reach him on her tiptoes.

"I'll be back in Metropolis tomorrow night." She told him as he stepped out the door. "Ok see you then." He sped off at super speed. She closed the door and picked up her present and threw away the trash.

After putting that away she headed into the kitchen to see if Bruce was anywhere to be seen. She didn't find him there, so she headed to his office. As she knocked the door opened and Alfred stepped out. "Miss Chloe he's in there" he said and walked off. She stepped inside and saw Bruce was on the phone rubbing his temples and looking very annoyed. "Can we talk about this later? Have Lucius handle this please" he said into the phone and hung up.

Bruce sighed and looked up his features softening at her face.
