Author's Note: Three days after that night in the coffee shop with Chloe
and Lex.
I paced nervously at my job, at my apartment, wondering when he would call; if he would call. I sat down in front of my television to do a little bonding when my phone rang; I picked it up on the second ring, not wanting to seem desperate. It was him.
"Hey Chloe…it's Lex."
"I figured that much, so what's up Lex."
"I was actually wondering if you wanted to go to this club with me, since I am coming to Metropolis tomorrow?"
"Sure…what time should I be expecting you tomorrow?" I was so happy!
"Around 8, does that work for you, Chloe?"
"Absolutely!"
"Oh and Chloe, wear something…" He paused; I knew he was trying to think of someway to say sexy without making me feel uncomfortable.
"I've got it Lex, don't worry." I could almost feel his relief when I cut in.
"I'll see you then?"
"Of course…" He hung up. I felt so alive, going to a club with Lex Luthor! What the hell was I going to wear? Shit! Shopping emeregency tomorrow I thought. Then I slowly made my way over to my bed, hoping it wouldn't take me forever to fall asleep.
I went shopping in the morning, trying to find something appropriate to wear to a club with Lex Luthor. I didn't know if my taste ran even close to Lex's liking. I tramped around the clothing shop like I was in a panic. I finally found a cute red velvet top that was sleeveless and a short black leather skirt. I knew the outfit would look great with my knee- high black lace-up boots.
My apartment was a commotion as I put on my outfit, brushed my hair, and pulled out all of my making deciding if it would be better to go with dark lips and light eyes or cark eyes and light lips. I decided on the second. I lined my eyes in black, put on a coat of dark mascara and put a light pink gloss on my lips. I was ready and at that instant my buzzer beeped. I knew that Lex was standing outside.
"You want to come up, Luthor?" I said into the buzzer.
"Sure," was his cool response.
There was a small tap on my door and I opened it to find my well- dressed dream guy leaning against the doorframe.
"Is that your favorite pose?" I asked teasingly.
"One of'em…" He said, playing along. "You look ravishing Chloe." He said, eyeing my outfit.
"Hello, Mr. Luthor? I am up here."
"How embarrassing, I don't usually get caught."
"Oh so you think it's funny then," I laughed. He just grinned.
"Are you ready then?"
"Let me just grab my coat," I rushed to the hanger and took out a maroon dress coat I saved for special occasions. He took my arm and led me to his car. We both got in and he drove to a large club, the sign read HAZE. It looked hopping and boy was I ready for a little excitement.
"Shall we, M'lady," Lex ventured, pulling me out of the car gently.
"Of course…" I began.
We walked into the club and walked to the bar to get a drink.
The bar tender walked up casually, obviously he knew Lex Luthor. "Hello Mr. Luthor what can I get you."
"I'll take a glass of your best red wine and for the lady…" Lex eyed me, hmmm what do I want.
"A frozen margarita." I said deciding finally what I wanted.
"So when did the Sullivan taste run to margaritas and not coffee?" He asked mockingly.
"A girl's gotta get a little alcohol once and awhile, but don't worry I still need my coffee fix more often times then not."
"I see…" He raised an eyebrow and our drinks came. He sipped casually on his wine, I trying to imitate his sophisticated behavior with my drink, hoping I pulled it off. I was deep in thought when I heard, "Do you dance Chloe Sullivan?" And before I knew it I was leaning on Lex's strong shoulder on the dance floor. We had a wonderful time at the club, he had to talk to business associates, but it didn't bother me. I knew he had a hard enough life already for me to make a fuss about being second to business; which I knew I was not. Lex probably had girls falling out of the sky but he chose me and I wanted to keep it that way.
We drove home late; God it must have been almost one.
"Here we are…" He said with a genuine smile on his face, as we came to my apartment.
"Yes, here we are." I replied, smiling as well. I was wondering if he was staying in Metropolis that night? He probably had an apartment he could use whenever he was here or needed somewhere else to stay; no, let me correct myself, probably two or three. "Do you drive back to Smallville this late or do you stay in Metropolis somewhere?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, my father probably has a place for me to stay in every damn city, yeah I stay in Metropolis, and it's actually a really cool apartment. I'll show it to you sometime…" He said trailing off.
"Or," I said kissing him, passionately, "You could show it to me tonight."
"That could work." He said kissing me back.
"Let me get some stuff, okay, I'll be right back…" I said pulling away from his kiss. I went up to my apartment quickly to get PJ's and my toothbrush and toothpaste. I rushed back to his car and jumped in. He sped away. My apartment was in an okay area. But his, his was right on Metropolis' Main Street. The most awesome place in the whole city. He brought me up to a really awesome apartment; I liked it even better than his house.
"Whoa, this is awesome…it's almost as big as my dad's house in Smallville!"
"Yeah, pretty cool, isn't it?" He smirked.
"Yeah pretty cool. So, give me a private tour, then?"
"For you? Anything." He showed me all of the rooms in the magnificent apartment.
"I have to say Lex, you have wonderful taste." I smiled, he did have wonderful taste. I sat down on his big bed. He came over next to me and kissed my neck.
"Thank you Chloe, my taste is even better when it comes to women," his voice was huskier than I had ever heard it. Not that it was bad.
"Do you still think I am beautiful Lex?" I asked him, searching his eyes.
"More beautiful than ever." He said stroking my hair.
The sun was shining in through Lex's apartment window. It was Saturday and seven o'clock. I was an early riser, even on weekends. I cuddled into Lex. He stirred, "Chloe?"
"Shhh, go back to sleep Lex," I replied coolly. I quickly got dressed in what I was wearing the night before and ran to the nearest Starbucks, they were abundant on large city street corners and I didn't have to walk but a block before I came to one. I ordered to regular coffees to go and some sort of pastry, heaven ever knows the names of those things. I went back to Lex's apartment and he was sitting at the table.
"I thought you had left me," he said smiling.
"No, I just wanted to locate the nearest Starbucks, you know, a girl's gotta have her coffee fix…"
