Later that night, after a very disappointing loss, the team made it's way to their cars. Lana, who had just locked up, hopped into Clark's truck, since she had walked there from school. Pete waved to his friends and headed off. Lex walked Chloe to her car, to make sure nothing bad happened to her.
"I'll see you later, Mr. Luther." Chloe said threw the unrolled window.
"It's Lex." He said, smiling. "And I hope to see you again very soon." She smiled and turned her key. nothing happened.
"Crap! Not again!" She moaned banging her head on the steering wheel. "Stupid car!"
"I can give you a ride home if you like." Lex offered.
"No, it's out of your way."
"It's no problem. This is SmallVille! 'Out of my way' is only five minutes or so."
Chloe smiled and got out of her car. She locked all the doors and followed Lex to his Corvette. They drove, talking and laughing about the night's events. Lex had a smile on his face the whole way to her house, and gave her hand a soft kiss before she left the car. Once inside, Chloe leaned her back agents the wall. She sighed
"Come on, girl! Snap out of it!" Chloe said, holding her hand (the one Lex had kissed) to her chest. "It's not like Le.. I can't even said his name anymore without losing my breath!" Out of no where, slow, jazz music began to play and she began to sing.
"Oh, I can't be doing this again,
I can't be falling for the wrong man.
Oh, I'm such a stupid little girl,
To fall in love with such a man."
She raced to the window and looked out to watch Lex's car fade into the darkness. Her heart raced fast as she leaned herself agents the glass.
"Oh he's so perfect,
And he can have whomever he wants.
I am such a fool for this man,
But I've got a hunch,
If I do all the right things,
Make all the right moves,
He'll fall for me at last,
I'm such a fool for this man."
She spun around the living room floor, picturing herself in a long red dress in a ballroom. She felt arms around her and tuned to see Lex. She began to sway softly to the music.
"I don't how he does it,
I just know that he does.
I don't know why I love him,
But it must be because,
I've always been a fool for this man."
She looked into Lex's pretty blue eyes and smiled. She knew the way she felt. She was in love. Love. A word she had once put souly next to the name Clark Kent. But not anymore.
"Oh he's so perfect,
And he can have whomever he wants.
I am such a fool for this man,
But I've got a hunch,
If I do all the right things,
Make all the right moves,
He'll fall for me at last,
I'm such a fool for this man."
Suddenly, the red dress faded away, and so did Lex. And it was just Chloe, standing in her living room, looking out the window.
"Oh dear me, how can I be..
Such a fool.. for this.. Man?"
Sighing, Chloe sat down on the couch, and closed her eyes. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open. "Where the bloody hell did that song come from?!"

Lex walked into his office with a large smile across his face. The image of Chloe as he had kissed her hand still in his head. His good mood was taken away by a voice.
"Someone is happy." Lex cringed at the voice. He didn't have to look to see who it was.
"Victoria." He muttered, turning to see her. "What do you want?"
"Just came by to see my old fling." She said, walking toward him.
"I don't really want to talk to the woman who slept with me and my father." Lex spat, walking toward his desk.
"Oh, come on, Lex. Talk to me. I want to make it all better," By now she was drawing little circles around his arm. "Lets make it better." She whispered.
"Sorry, Victoria, but this can't be like it is anymore." He pushed her off him. She stood up and glared at him.
"Well, if that's how you want to be, fine. But I'll get you back one way or another." She stormed out of the room leaving Lex alone with his ever- growing headache. Out of nowhere, music started to play. Before he knew it, he was singing along.
"I'm so sorry this ever happened,
I'm sorry I ever kissed you,
I'm sorry that you ever came into my life,
What else can I say? I'm sorry."
Lex stood up and looked around his office. He walked towered the bar to get himself a drink, trying, in vain, to stop singing. He found himself looking at the door Victoria had left from.
"Please forgive me,
For I never liked you one bit,
I'm sorry for leading you on,
Nothing left to say,
But I'm sorry."
Lex sighed and ran a hand over his head. He didn't know why he had ever slept with Victoria. Maybe he just needed to feel loved, even if he wasn't. Ever since Chloe, he hadn't felt anything for anyone else. So, being with Victoria with the knowledge that there was someone better out there was pretty stupid.
"I can't be with you anymore,
I've found someone I like more,
I'm sorry I can't still sleep with you,
But I'd rather be in her arms tonight.
I am very sorry."
'In her arms tonight.' Lex thought. Images of him and Chloe laying next to each other filled his mind. He moaned and closed his eyes. 'Chloe.' He thought, a small smile working it's way onto his face.
"Please forgive me,
For I never like you one bit,
I'm sorry for leading you on,
Nothing left to say,
But I'm sorry.
I am very sorry."
The music faded. Lex looked around. "What was that?!"
A/N: OK, so. did you like it? Worth working on more? Hey remember when I said I don't own these songs. ell, I lied, those songs where mine. don't take them! More in the works.
