Now on with the story...
Disclaimer : I still do not own these characters
Chloe's POV
As I came in, Lex was standing by the window, looking out over the town. He turned as he heard me enter.
"Chloe, I didn't know you were coming. Did you talk to Clark?" The wound on his head did not look as bad now, in fact now he had been cleaned up, you'd hardly know Lex had been on the receiving end of Clarks fist at all.
"Yes, Lex, I've seen Clark, but that's not why I'm here. There's something I need to say...I love you. Don't ask me when I realised it, because I don't know myself, but I do know that I love you, truly" I actually laughed as I said it.
"What?" Lex asked, with a similar smirk to mine, "I hope that wasn't a joke"
"No" I assured him, "I'm serious, I just realised how stupid that sounded when it came out of my mouth, and it sounded so sensible in my head!"
Lex smiled that smile that had first drawn my attention to him. It was the smile that lit up his whole face, his true smile that showed true happiness and love. He walked over to me and kissed me softly.
"It might not have been the sensible thing to say, but if it was the truthful thing to say, it doesn't matter" he whispered. I smiled.
"I meant every word" I promised him and he kissed me again.
I knew he loved me and I knew I loved him, but even then, at that moment the main thought in my mind was, 'I wonder what's happening with Clark and Lana?'
Lex's POV of the same events
Although I had thought that Chloe loved me (if I'm honest, it was more a hope than a true belief) I was still shocked when she said it, shocked in a good way, obviously, over-joyed in fact. Since my mother died, I had hardly ever heard those three special words addressed to me - I love you. My father was not the type to go around spilling out his emotions all over the place, especially not to me, his son. I had been no better, not since I lost my mother, but I knew Chloe would change that.
She made me feel so different, so alive and so in love. Her loving me was all I needed. I knew that I could change and be a better man, so long as I had Chloe at my side. There were similarities between us and differences too. We had the same zest for life and good instincts too. We both had an energy that we found best when we were together, and yet we were so different too. My family was obviously richer than hers, I was her father's boss after all and we had been brought up in completely different social circles, but it didn't matter. I knew we would be perfect together. I was more sure of that than anything else. 'Nothing is going to get in the way of the love between me and my Chloe' I thought as I kissed her, but not everything went as smoothly as I planned.
A/N : Don't stop moving, keep going cos Chapter 10 is here too........(and don't forget to review!)
