A/N : And here's chapter 5...
Disclaimer : Guess what? Yep, they're still not my characters!
"Good Morning, Miss Sullivan" Lex smiled down on a waking Chloe. She had to admit, he was the last person she was expecting to see. It took a few moments for her to realise where she was and what was going on, before it all came flooding back. The dance, the storm, the accident, the hospital, but why was Lex Luthor sitting on her bed? she wondered.
"Mr Luthor, what are you doing here?" she asked, with a shaky voice. Lex smiled at her.
"This is no time for an interview Miss Sullivan" he joked and she managed a small smile. "But seriously," he continued, "I guess, I'm in hospital for similar reason to yourself, I had an accident in the storm and the reason I'm sitting here is because you have hold of my arm" he concluded, shifting his glance down to his left arm which Chloe still had in a death grip. Chloe's gaze followed his and she blushed a deep red
when she sae he was not joking. She let go of his arm as if she had been scalded by it and apologised profusely for ever having had hold of him, but then she felt she had to ask when and how she had come to be holding on to him in the first place.
"You were having a nightmare last night and when I came over here to calm you down you kind of made a grab at me and wouldn't let go"
Chloe apologised - again, and blushed - again.
Lex told her it was fine and he really hadn't minded watching over her. At this revelation, Chloe's face continued to redden and she noticed Lex had even managed to embarrass himself with his last comment.
"Thankyou, Mr Luthor" Chloe said, sincerely.
"I thought we talked about this" Lex smiled at her, "My name is Lex, not Mr Luthor. I'm twenty one, I'm too young to be a Mister anything!"
Chloe let out a small laugh, it was all she could manage.
"In that case," she retorted, "I am definitely too young to be Miss Sullivan, so you'll have to learn to call me Chloe"
The two smiled at each other and for a moment everything else was forgotten as they started into each others eyes. It was Chloe who broke her gaze first and then the silence.
"How long have I been asleep?" she wanted to know.
"On and off for about four days now" Lex told her. Chloe couldn't believe she had been asleep that long. Given the drowsiness she felt it was almost impossible to think that she had slept for such a large quantity of time.
It was only as she looked up at Lex again that she noticed the injury he had sustained. "That looks painful", she gestured towards the cut above his eye. Lex knew what she meant. The cabinet that had fallen on his had hit him mostly on his head and the blow had caused him and almost constant three day headache. Now it had almost completely disappeared and he did not hold the hospitals drugs responsible for his relief.
"It was painful, but I'm okay. How do you feel?" he turned the conversation away from his own injuries to those of someone he was more concerned for.
"I'm not sure" Chloe smiled, "It's weird but I just feel kind of numb"
"That'll be the drugs, there supposed to do that" Lex assured, "Now you're awake, they'll probably change your dosage" It was only now that Lex realised, he was still sitting on Chloe's bed, leaning over her as he spoke.
"I guess, I should get back over there and try and get some sleep of my own now" he said, as he made to get up, but Chloe found herself reaching for his hand.
"Thankyou for last night, Lex" she said quietly, although she made sure she emphasised his name.
"That's all right, Chloe" he stressed her name too, "If you need me again, just call, or scream like last night" he grinned and squeezed her hand, before heading back to his own bed.
Lex actually managed to sleep for the most part of the morning, as did Chloe, and when they dreamed, they dreamed of each other.
