Authors Note: ENJOY!
Lex and I were quiet the rest of the way to Smallville. We saw that oh-so-familiar Smallville sign: "Meteor Capitol of the World." And that is exactly what it was. I have had to many Wall of Weird experiences to think it not. Lex drove into his driveway…pressing the gate combination, speeding into his garage. He turned to me, "I have to make a few calls…do you want to wait out here…it should only take five minutes or you could come in and wait. Your choice?" He smiled.
"I think I want to see what you've done with the place…" I said and winked, getting out of the car.
"Very well…" He smirked and I took his hand. He wasn't very warm but I was determined to change that. We walked inside of the castle of his, I wondered if he had done anything to it since I was gone…yup, I was right nothing!
"This place sure has changed since the last time I was here," I sad sarcastically as I plopped myself down in a large leather chair. He just grinned and left. I took my time exploring the premises. Once a reporter, always a reporter is my saying. Gee did he have expensive taste. I went upstairs, trying to locate his room. When I found it the door creaked open. It was small; pleasant. It looked normal with a blue comforter, I sat down, it was satin. There was a television and a connecting bathroom. I sat admiring it and Lex came in the door.
"Your reporter tendencies are getting the better of you it seems," He said as he sat next to me.
"This is your bedroom?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Yes, it's almost normal…" he trailed off.
"Yeah it is." I smiled. "So you ready to go into town…I am guessing everyone will be at the Talon then?"
"Sure," He said, smoothly. We went back to his flashy car, I never got used to riding around like royalty.
"This car of yours…" I began, "it is way to pricey-looking." I smirked.
"And what would you suggest I do then…"
"Walk or ride a bike, but it's okay…I know you pride your cars." I laughed.
"I pride my women even more…" He rubbed my shoulder.
"So you have more than one?" I asked, just to get him mad.
"Just one," He said simply and turned and smiled at me. We pulled up to the Talon and I saw that blue-pickup of the Kent's.
"So what are we going to say, I mean, should we tell them about…us?"
"I guess…what could they really say, Clark and Lana are together and that is basically who we are going to talk to. You aren't ashamed of me, Chloe, are you?" He smirked, looking into my eyes.
"Oh, yes Lex. I am so very ashamed of you." I smirked back to meet his penetrating gaze. "You know what Lex. Your eyes are so incredible."
"Thanks Chlo, my mom used to say that." He looked forlornly sad. "She would have liked you, she was like you in a way." I felt really warm inside that he would compare me to his mother; he talked about her like she was an angel. But all I could mange was an, "Oh?"
"Yeah, she was really intelligent and had spark, just like you." His gaze traced over my face. "Just like you…" He said, as if in deep thought.
"Lets head in, Lex." And that was it. We walked into the Talon and looked for some familiar faces. I spotted Clark and Lana at the bar and Lex and I walked over to them.
"HEY!" I shouted, waving to them. Lana waved and smiled, Clark did that goofy Kent smile thing that I loved.
"Chloe! It's so good to see you." Clark said walking up to me, giving me a hug. I saw Lex and Lana, both get jealous when we were hugging but I wasn't in love with Clark, I was in love with Lex.
"You to my friend and hey Lana!" I said sitting down, Lex sitting down next to me.
"So what brings you here then?" Clark said still beaming from ear to ear.
"Lex actually invited me…" I said, not knowing how to put that we were…together. Yes, that's right.
"So are you to seeing each other then?" Lana said twirling her hair.
"Uh yeah, actually," I said, looking over to Lex and smiling.
I looked at Clark and he smiled, "That's awesome, my two best friends are dating." He was still smiling, what a fool, I thought and laughed to myself.
"So how did you two…hook up?" Lana sat down.
"I was in Metropolis and I saw Chloe walking home. We had coffee and got to talking. I guess it all went from there." He looked at me and I nodded.
"So I heard you guys are dating too?" I looked at them both. Lana took Clark's hand.
"Guess the word is spreading…" She glared at Lex then laughed. Lex laughed too.
"Do you guys want to come over and watch movies at my place tonight, like old times?" He said and smirked.
Clark looked at Lana and she nodded, "Sure…what time then?"
"It's three now…so around six then?" Clark and Lana both nodded.
I couldn't wait until that night…it would be fun just to hang around with my friends again and my boyfriend. We drove home quietly and I changed into a plain red t-shirt and jeans.
"So we have a couple hours to kill…" I said coming out of a bathroom to find Lex lounging in a soft leather chair, I sat all cutesy next to him in a different chair, still the same leather.
"That shouldn't be to hard…" He said getting up and picking me up. I knew where he was taking this and to tell you the truth I was happy. He put me down in his bed and kissed me so deeply that it was nothing short of magical. Last night was completely perfect and I didn't think it could get much better, but it did. The time ticked away and we didn't notice, then the doorbell rang.
"Shit…" Was my calm and collected response. I jumped up.
"Hey I'll get it…give you some time to freshen up? Okay?" He smiled and quickly got dressed walking out of the room to greet the guests. I went into the bathroom smoothed out my hair, rinsed my face, and put my clothes back on. I looked ready and went downstairs. Lex winked at me dangerously and I just grinned and greeted Clark and Lana.
"Sorry…just getting ready…" I said as we sat down.
"So what is it tonight Lex?" I asked, smiling.
"Tonight we will be having gourmet cuisine from…oh look…it's here. My favorite restaurant Pizza Hut."
"Sounds good to me." Clark said getting up to get it, Lex got up but Clark motioned for him to sit down.
"So…Lana your birthday is coming up, right?" Lex ventured.
"Yup…" She said.
I said, "That's awesome!"
"Well you know me, Lana, I have already been thinking ahead." He said pulling out an envelope with a blue satin bow around it.
"Oh…" She said, taking the envelope. She opened in it and her face lit up. She kissed Lex on the cheek. "This is terrific Lex, does this mean its' mine?" She asked stunned. I was trying to figure out what she meant.
"Absolutely…" He said beaming.
"This is the best gift anyone has ever given me…" She trailed off.
"What is it?" I snapped getting jealous.
"It's the deed to the Talon." She said smiling.
"Indeed it is," He said looking at me, obviously noticing my jealousy, "Oh and Chloe, I got this for you yesterday but I forgot to give it to you…" He said handing me a small box. I looked at him and he urged me to open it. I did and it was a bracelet that had Chloe Sullivan engraved on it.
"Oh Lex, it's beautiful," I said going to his seat, kissing him on the lips. I could here Lana giggle and it made me laugh too. I walked back to my seat and Clark came in with the pizza. Lana and I informed him of our new gifts and Clark was happy as well. The rest of the night we watched movies, going to bed around 2 am. Lana and Clark took one room and Lex and I retreated to his bedroom. We went right to sleep after kissing for a while because we were both exhausted, though I know Lex waited for me to fall asleep before he did. What a gentleman…
The sun shown through the window and Lex lay awake next to me, just looking at me.
"Good morning," he said combing a hand through my long hair.
"I'm not a morning person…" I groaned and turned over. He kissed my neck, holding me.
He whispered into my ear, "Well we will just have to change that then…"
"Yeah right," I said and got up. "I need coffee." I put it simply. He jumped up and ran into the bathroom…I ran after him and shouted funnily at the door, banging with my fists. He finally came out dresses in his Armani pants and light purple shirt. I straightened his collar. "I am taking a shower…bring me coffee will ya?" I asked.
"Sure."
"Knock first though, okay."
"Fine," and then he shut the door. I turned on a steamy shower and shampooed my hair. There was a knock, "In with it," I shouted. He gave me coffee, smirked at me and left. Like he hasn't seen it before, what an idiot. Haha. I got dressed in a white tank top and jeans and walked downstairs; refreshed after a shower and coffee.
"Well look who decided to grace us with there presence." A calm voice came.
"Lex…Lex…Lex…if you're going to have a relationship with me, you gotta understand. The words Chloe and morning cannot be found in the same sentence." I looked up at him and he grinned. "Have to say…good coffee though." I smirked back.
"Glad to hear you approve Miss Sullivan." His gaze was so intense I almost had to look away, but then he came up to me and kissed my forehead. "Good morning Chloe."
"Good morning Lex." We both smiled.
He walked over to me and picked me up; setting me down in a comfy chair. "You are so easy to pick up Chloe…"
"I try." I laughed. He laughed too. "I love your laugh, you have to laugh more often Lex, okay."
"Only if you give me a reason too." He replied.
"Well I will definitely try for you Lex."
