Disclaimer : Unsurprisingly, there still not my characters!
Chloe's POV
Wednesday morning, torch office, second cup of copy, first article for the new issue of the Torch. The day had started out pretty normally really. The night before had been fun, Lex and me and Clark and Lana actually had fun together, just hanging out at the Talon. It was weird at first but we settled into the new situation and found we could all have fun together. In fact by the end of the evening I wasn't even bothered when Clark and Lana kissed goodbye... well not really anyway. I don't know why I always want more than I've got. I had Clark, I wanted Lex, I got Lex and now seeing Clark and Lana together was driving me crazy. But I just kept telling myself that it wasn't jealousy, it was just them - Clark and Lana, they were too fairytale-y and soppy about it, so childish. I congratulated myself on my own more grown-up relationship with Lex. We were in love but in an orderly fashion, there was nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, Wednesday was a pretty normal day until lunch time. I headed back to the Torch office, sandwiches and coffee in my hand, to spend some time on the next issue. Pete and Clark came with me to keep me company, since Lana and Erica were pre-booked, and me and my reporting career was always a good source of entertainment when your first choice was unavailable - I was used to that.
So we were just sitting around, me at my computer, Clark at the desk next to me and Pete by the window. It was a normal lunch hour, well, that was until Pete decided to leave. He suddenly remembered he was supposed to do something, I didn't hear what he said, I was concentrating on what I was writing, and he disappeared, yelling something about seeing us later as he went.
Then there were two, me and Clark, which was fine. I was busy, he was busy, I did not feel at all nervous being alone with him anymore and we were fine, until...
"Oh, printers out of black ink!"
So I got up and headed for the supply cupboard, went inside, turned on the light and looked around for the ink cartridges. I remember thinking, 'God, this place needs reorganising! It's a mess!' I had my back to the door and I physically jumped when I heard it close behind me with a thud. I turned to see Clark standing behind me.
"Clark, what's going on?" I asked, with a confused smile.
He smiled back at me, with this weird look in his eyes that I had seen before. It was the look he had reserved for Lana until the Spring Formal when I was the one he professed to like. 'Surely, he shouldn't be looking at me like that?' I thought, 'He shouldn't be thinking of me in that way, not now'
"Chloe, I need to talk to you" he told me. I let out this stupid girly giggle.
"In a closet?" I asked. He didn't laugh, he wasn't even smiling now, he look really serious. It was almost scary. He didn't answer my question so I carried on.
"Clark, what is going on here?" I barely got the sentence out before he kissed me. It was strange, even though I knew it was wrong, I didn't want to stop him. I remember thinking this kissing in closets thing was becoming a habit. That's when I thought of Lex. I was betraying him, just like I'd betrayed Clark, what was wrong with me? And yet, through all these thoughts, I continued to kiss Clark. It was like my brain and my lips were in conflict!
When I finally managed to gain some control and pull away from him, I got the shock of my life.
"What is it with you and closets, Chloe?"
I turned to see a man framed by the, now open, door. I gaped at him. I couldn't believe this was happening again. I had been caught by Clark kissing Lex before and now I had been caught kissing Clark, by Lex.
My love life was turning into a nightmare!
