Chapter 14

Chloe's sobs had stopped and she pulled away from Oliver's arms. "I'm sorry," she cried.

"Hey come on Tink there's nothing to apologise for. I am just glad that I was here for you and that you let me in." He smiled while hooking his arms underneath her and picking Chloe up. It wasn't really necessary and he knew it but it was a perfect excuse to have her in his arms and close to his body.

"Ollie what are you doing?"

"I just thought I could carry you through to the bedroom so you can get more comfortable and maybe get some sleep." He gently placed her on the bed. "Now do you want to talk about your nightmare or shall we completely change the subject?"

Chloe panicked for a minute, although she really did want to change the subject. Chloe was worried that Ollie would want to discuss their relationship, which she was definitely not ready to do.

"It's just I keep seeing it so clearly, the lab and all those awful things Lex has been doing to those people. Then I feel his hands on me, the way Lex was touching me I thought he was…" She couldn't say it, her eyes started to fill up again with tears. "It just feels so real."

Oliver felt his anger rise again. "I swear I have never wanted to strangle someone so much in my entire life. But that would be too good for Lex." Ollie reached out his hand and tucked her hair behind her left ear in a soothing matter. "Don't worry, like I said I will take care of Lex." Leaning over he kissed her forehead.

Chloe smiled "I think I'm going to slip on my pyjamas, do you mind giving me a minute to get comfortable?"

"Sure, give me a shout when you're done." With that he got up and walked out closing the door giving Chloe her privacy.

5 minutes later

Hearing his name Ollie went back into the bedroom finding Tink in snoopy pyjamas looking a little more relaxed. She had got under the covers and was trying to get comfortable.

Oliver sat down beside her and tucked in the sheets, making her snug and before he knew it they were face to face. Oliver looked down at Chloe and their eyes met. Chloe couldn't take her eyes of the shape of his lips and her tongue instinctively ran over her own.

Ollie couldn't help the small moan that escaped him at the sight of her and his head lowered closer to hers.

"I think I am all tucked in now." Chloe said softly afraid her voice will reveal the way she was feeling.

"Just one more thing," he smirked.

With that he moved the last few inches and his lips captured hers.

Thinking Tink won't let the kiss last to long he goes to pull away but Chloe puts her arms around his neck and pulls him closer, opening her mouth to allow his tongue entrance.

So wrapped up in each other they never noticed Clark standing at the door watching their moment.

Clark stood still witnessing the warm embrace and the passionate kiss being shared between Chloe and Oliver. Clark felt like his heart had broken into a million pieces, even with all his strengths his heart remained his weakness. He felt his fist's tightening in anger, 'that should be me comforting her' he thought. He knew leaving Chloe with Ollie had been a bad idea. But where the hell was Lois, surely she should have been here by now?

Chloe was the first one to break the kiss, pulling away but still looking into Ollie's eyes. She had no idea what to say.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" He asked breathlessly.

Before Chloe could reply Clark spoke up "no that's not necessary."

They both turned to look at him and Chloe blushes realizing that Clark must have seen the kiss. She can tell from the angry look in his face.

"I came back to get you and take you to the farm. Mom insisted she doesn't think staying here is a good idea considering Lex owns this building and I couldn't agree more. Oh and where's Lois? She is welcome to join us too Lana is staying, well at least for tonight."

"Lois has gone to meet with her dad and her sister Lucy. She will be back in a few weeks." Chloe answered.

"I really don't mind staying," Ollie looked at her paying no attention to Clark. "I mean if you would prefer to stay here that is."

Clark looked about ready to argue when Chloe got out of bed.

"No I think that it's best to stay at the farm. Clark is right Lex does own this building, plus I really would like to see Lana."

Knowing when he was beat Oliver stood up.

"Ok if that's what you want to do but I will call on you to check how you are." With that he said his goodbyes and left.

Chloe turned to Clark "right do I need to get changed out of my pj's or are you going to super speed me to the farm?"

Clark smirked and in a second he had packed up some of Chloe's stuff and picked her up as well speeding home.

At the farm

"Chloe, oh my god what did he do to you?" Lana's eyes began to fill with tears looking at her broken best friend.

Clark and Mrs Kent had gone to make up the girls beds for the evening.

"I'm so sorry." She pulled her in for a hug. "I didn't know."

"Hey Lana, it's alright." Chloe tried to smile.

"But it's not alright look at you."

"Come on Lana it's just a black eye and a few scratches. Lex did this not you." Chloe slipped onto one of the kitchen stalls and took one of Mrs Kent's muffins off the counter.

"I had no idea he was capable of such a thing."

"He has done much worse, maybe not with his own hand but he has given the orders. I've seen it with my own eyes Lana. "

Chloe picked at the muffin, as images of the lab flashed before her.

"I can't believe I was so stupid. I just don't know what to say Chloe, you're supposed to be my best friend and I couldn't even protect you from my fiancé."

"He isn't your fiancé anymore is he?" Chloe asked concerned.

"No I've left him for good. I told him I can't keep turning a blind eye anymore, I'm not prepared to live that type of life. Especially when he starts hurting the people I care about. "

"Good, you deserve so much more Lana."

"I just need to find my feet, a new job and a place to stay."

"Well I'm sure Mrs Kent will let you crash here for as long as you need."

"Actually I might go visit Pete for a couple of weeks. I'm going to call him in the morning as long as you're ok."

"I'm fine Lana honestly. I've been through worse." Chloe lied. Lana was her best friend she really didn't need to know what her ex fiancé was REALLY capable of. If Chloe told the truth it would destroy Lana.

"But I could have stopped it; I should have acted when I got that email saying you weren't coming to the dress fitting. I should have known it wasn't like you. I let you down Chloe."

"Lana stop beating yourself up over it. There was nothing you could have done, I'm back now and ok I am a bit bruised but I'm fine. We're fine. I just want to forget the whole thing and move on with my life."

"I'm sorry Chloe."

"Stop apologising." Chloe demanded as Lana embraced her in another hug.

"It's good to have you back Chloe."

"You too," Chloe smiled.

Kent Farm the following afternoon.

Chloe had slept for most of the past 16 hours but the smell of Martha's home cooking had woken her from her nap.

After freshening up, she made her way down stairs to see Clark and Lana laying the table.

"Is there anything I can do to help Mrs Kent?"

"No thank you Chloe" Mrs Kent said with surprise seeing her stood at the door way. "You just take a seat dear, I'm about to serve."

"It smells delicious." Chloe took her seat opposite Clark and next to Lana.

"I know you can never beat Mrs Kent's home cooking." Lana smiled.

ooooooooooooooooo

As he tucked in to his meal Clark couldn't help but watch the two women who sat laughing and joking opposite him at the table. His mind drifted back to last year. Lana had been his and he had been obsessed by her, so much so he hadn't even noticed Chloe and that in its self had been a huge mistake on his part.

Chloe was beautiful and the most amazing person he knew, he had taken her for granted and almost having her taken away made him realise that.

Lana had become distant since her relationship with Lex and Clark wasn't sure they could fix there friendship fully, but he was in love with Chloe. He knew that now and had never been surer of something in his life.

Chloe had taken over the place in his heart that he thought only Lana would be in. He just needed Chloe to feel the same way.

"Hey Clark, what do you think?" Chloe pulled him from his thoughts.

"I…err" He stuttered.

"As I thought…." Chloe smiled "we lost you awhile back didn't we?"

"Sorry Chloe what was you saying?" He asked but the minute she moved her lips Clark could feel himself losing focus and he was mesmerised by the sound of her voice as the words she was saying became a blur.

Clark hoped Oliver enjoyed a challenge because Clark was going to prove to Chloe it was him that deserved that place in her heart.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chloe watched as Clarks eyes never left hers over the table. She felt like he was burning a hole right through her skin and she shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.

He had been watching her like this since he had saved her from the mansion. Chloe had assumed it was the paranoid gaze of a best friend making sure she was truly ok but this past 30 minutes over dinner his eyes had changed. She couldn't explain it but there was something else and if Chloe didn't know better she would have called it lust. She had seen him use that look on Lana a thousand times before.

'Why now?' Chloe thought. Clark had finally woken up to her and Chloe had moved on. She had given up on a relationship with Clark along time ago and now, she valued his friendship way to much to jeopardise it with a silly love affair that deep down she knew would never work.

Chloe stared down at her plate for a few seconds before catching Clark's gaze again, there eyes locked and Clark smiled as his cheeks began to blush. That was when Chloe knew she would have to let him down gently and hope she didn't break his heart like he had hers a hundred times before.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Clock tower

Ollie let out a sigh as the hot water of the shower ran over his body.

He had been in the gym for the past couple of hours working out his frustrations and trying to figure a way forward with Chloe.

She had been on his mind all day and he had hardly gotten any sleep despite his tiredness last night either.

He reached for the shampoo and his eyes fell closed as he began to massage his scalp. He imagined it was Chloe running her fingers through his hair if she was in the shower with him. God he craved her so much, just one kiss one caress could set him on fire.

He imagined the two of them washing each other and the feel of her soft skin wet against his, his hands gliding over her soft curves and cupping her breasts. He wanted her so bad.

He imagined what it would feel like to take her in the shower, to press her against the cold tiles and make her scream his name over and over as he filled her with his hard cock, with the soothing hot water engulfing there bodies. She would look and feel beautiful he had no doubt.

Ollie's eyes flew open and Chloe was gone.

He was breathing heavily and his cock was hard, demanding some attention. He had to stop working himself up, it was getting embarrassing and he wasn't sure how much more he could take.

Tink had worked her magic dust and Ollie was certainly under her spell, the question was how long it would take for Ollie to make her realise it.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The loft

Chloe looked out at the beautiful night sky, she had always envied Clark.

The view from the barn was breath taking and it was one of her favourite spots. As she looked out at the stars and the peaceful world below all the bad feelings of the past 36 hours seemed to wash away.

Hearing a creak on the stairs she turned to see Clark approaching with two glasses of milk and a plate of cookies balancing on the top.

"Cookies, please tell me they are chocolate chip?"

"Of course Mom knows how much you love chocolate," he smiled.

Clark sat down on the couch and placed the cookies on the table holding out a glass to Chloe. Sitting beside him she took a cookie and her milk.

"So how was Pete when you dropped Lana off this morning?"

"Yeah he was good, of course the business with Lex came as no surprise to him," Clark chuckled.

Chloe was happy to let Clark babble on while she enjoyed her drink and cookie. Putting her glass down she looked up and saw Clark was staring at her lips with a smirk on his face. "What's so funny?"

Clark leant forward raising his hand towards her lips, jumping back Chloe asks "What are you doing?" Chloe was starting to panic she was worried Clark was going to kiss her.

He chuckles, rubbing his thumb over top lip saying "you have a milk moustache."

"Oh," she laughed out loud feeling the tension drop from her shoulders. She smiled and licked her lips to make sure that no milk remained.

Clark watching her lick her lips stirred something in his groin and without thinking leant forward and captured Chloe's lips with his own.
