Chloe's POV
He hung up the phone.
"Sorry about that" he said. I just smiled and looked away.
We were in Lex's office and had been for almost half an hour, most of which he had spent on the phone to some business acquaintance. Part of me was glad Lex had invited me here, another part wanted to just run away, from Lex, from his house, from the way I felt, the whole situation.....
I opened my mouth to speak as the phone rang into life again. He picked it up and began another in-depth conversation. I decided just to make my move and get out. As I stood up, he covered the mouth piece of the receiver and looked up at me.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"You're obviously busy" I said quietly, "so I thought I'd leave you alone".
I was surprised to see him hang up the phone without a word, and stand up to face me.
"I don't want to be alone anymore" he said sincerely, before striding over to the wall and pulling the phone wire from it's socket.
"I thought your business was important to you" I began, "Unplugging the phone won't help run a company!" I tried to lighten the mood but he stood staring at me so seriously, I'll admit I would have been scared, but this was Lex, I knew I was safe with him.
"My business used to be the most important thing to me. I buried myself in school and then work after my mother died" he said quietly.
"So what changed?" I asked (as if I didn't know!)
"I fell in love!" he said sincerely. 'Okay, that wasn't quite what I was expecting!' I thought to myself, almost unable to breathe now. Lex was not the sort of person to voice his feelings and I had no idea he was in love with me! Okay, I figured he liked me but love! Big step!
I had no idea what to say to him and I was relieved when he broke the awkward silence for me.
"Chloe, please tell me you feel the same"
I'd never seen Lex Luthor this vulnerable, but then this was not just Lex Luthor, this was Lex Luthor in love and not just in love, he was in love with me. I tried to answer him.
"I, I feel..." I couldn't find words for what I felt. All I knew was that I wanted to hold him, kiss him, let him know that everything was going to be all right. He just stood staring at me, waiting for a response. I walked over to him, put my arms around him and kissed him just as madly as I wanted to. He responded to what I started and it was even better than I'd remembered. Was it because I'd fallen for him? Was I in love?
We were so involved in each other that neither of us heard the door open or Lex's visitor enter the room.
"Oh, sorry Lex!" I heard a familiar voice say. We parted at the sound of the voice and turned to see the owner of it - Clark.
A/N : I know it's kind of a cliffhanger but I have posted Chapters 5 & 6 at the same time so you don't have to wait for what happens next, go now......and please review!
