(A/N): This chapter came out a little darker than originaly planned but the
next chapter will be lighter. I promise.
Diclaimer: I don't own anything. Do any of us?
"How long do you think they're going to be in there" Pete asked glancing over the back of the big leather sofa he was sitting on.
"Pete quit whining, they've been in there for like two minutes" Clark said with a slight smile on his face.
"Plus the clubs don't get going until after the cities curfew" Lex offered from his perch next to the window. "City kids don't think it's fun unless you can get arrested doing it." He smiled at the look that passed over both the boys' faces. Just then the door to the bedroom opened and the two girls stepped out.
"What's this about getting arrested?" Chloe almost laughed at the startled look on Lex's face as he took in her outfit. "What? Forget I was a girl."
"Quite the opposite Miss Sullivan, I'm just realizing how much of woman you are." Chloe felt the blush cross her face and glanced at Lana. She and Chloe had had a heart to heart before they returned to the living room and Chloe felt a great relief that she could share it with someone.
"So we seem to be just standing around a lot tonight. I, for one would much rather be dancing," Pete said as he hopped off the couch. Shoving the fake ID in his pocket he practically skipped to the door. As he passed Clark he laughed and tapped his finger under the other boys chin. "Clark, man you're catching flies." Clark quickly caught on to what he was saying, shut his mouth, and averted his eyes from Lana, blushing furiously.
"I'm with Pete," a voice whispered in her ear. "I'd much rather be dancing." While watching the scene play out before her she had quickly forgotten about the other man in the room. She however wasn't about to let her whole plan go to waste. She whirled around, gave him a quick toothy grin, and walked after Pete.
"Jeez, Luthor. You wanna go a little light on the innuendo. I don't think the kids can handle it," she tossed over her shoulder, throwing a pointed glance at Clark.
Lex smiled as he watched Chloe walk away. Yes, Tonight was going to work out perfectly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lex watched as Chloe deftly moved through the throngs of people back to their table. He marveled at the way she could move without touching anyone else while carrying a tray full of drinks, smile that amazing smile of hers, and still manage to look like an innocent 16- year old. 'Which she still is Lex. Don't get all jumpy'.
Chloe smiled at him and set the drinks down on the table. "Okay Clark had the Manhattan, Pete had the Screwdriver," Chloe had to laugh when Clark and Pete shared a 'giggle'. She didn't know boys could giggle. "I know someday you two will emotionally graduate the third grade."
"Aww will we get to wear one of those little hats," That was twice tonight Pete had giggled and Chloe was sure she'd be hearing it more before the night was out.
"Lex has a Martini, and, just so you know, I can't believe you're doing this."
"Doing what," Lex asked trying to feign innocence.
Chloe just rolled her eyes. "I can see the headline in 'The Planet' "Lex Luthor Found in Metropolis Club with Four Drunk Underage Teens" My dad would die of a heart attack." She laughed handing Lana a Shirley Temple. Lex raised an eyebrow at her lack of a drink.
"I, unlike you am not perfect in every way and cannot balance five drinks while trying to make my way through the mosh pit of hell," she said waving her arm at the hundreds of Glass Slipper patrons moving together on the dance floor. "So my drink is still at the bar."
"I'll go get it," Lex said standing up and moving toward the crowd. Chloe put her hand on his arm and looked back at her.
"I'm capable of putting one foot in front of the other, you know," she practically yelled over the music before disappearing into the crowd. He just blinked for about a minute before going after her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He watched her make her way back up to the bar and order her drink. He smiled as she turned to watch the dancing masses, bobbing her head up and down in time to the music. He tried to ignore how his heart started racing when she noticed him and smiled back. He made it about halfway through the crowd before he was cut off by a rather busty blonde.
"Wanna dance," she asked grabbing his hand and pulling him closer to her and rubbing her arms on his chest.
"Yes, just not with you." He stepped away from her only to have her take a step toward him.
"What's the matter baby? I'll be real nice." She pulled his head down to kiss his neck. "I'm sure your girlfriend won't mind."
'Chloe'. His head shot up and he was greeted with an icy glare that ran down his spine. Even from all the way across the club he could feel the look she gave him. 'Shit'.
He pushed the blonde away from him and shoved his way through the crowd.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chloe couldn't believe not only how horribly her plan had failed but who he had chosen over her.
"It shouldn't have surprised you. Luthors are always the same you know." Chloe whirled around and faced the man who was speaking to her. He held out her drink. "Singapore Sling for the lady."
Chloe glanced down at the drink then back up at the man who was holding it. He was tall, probably taller than Clark. He had dark, almost black, hair and the faintest hint of a goatee. His eyes were green and piercing, but hidden behind long lashes. His silk shirt was neatly pressed and his slacks hugged in all the right places. His arms were sculpted but not to big and he had the slightest sheen of sweat from dancing.
"How long have you been standing there," she asked suspiciously going into reporter mode.
"Long enough to see you swooning over Luthor with that blonde bimbo," he glanced at a few other women at the bar. Chloe sighed when she noticed that all of them were staring at the same sexy, bald, billionaire that she was helplessly enamored with. 'Helplessly enamored. God Chloe jump out of you Harlequin novel,' she chastised herself. But his words had affected her more than she'd ever admit. She took the drink from him and took a sip just to draw attention away from Lex.
"I'm Riley."
Chloe took another sip of her drink and noted for future reference that they were really good. "This is where you tell me your name" Riley smirked at her. She really needed to get away from men who smirked.
"Chloe" she smiled at him. He seemed like a nice guy and even though her Lex plan had fallen through she was going to have fun tonight.
Just then a new song came over the loud speakers. People on the dance floor moved to find a new partner, got closer to the one they already had, or gave up on the whole dancing thing to go back in one of the dark corners and make-out.
"I love this song," Riley said taking her hand and leaning in right next to her ear. "Dance with me."
Chloe wasn't quite sure she wanted to dance with him, but he was so cute and so close to her that she felt her resolve slipping.
"Okay," she said before downing the rest of her drink. If she hadn't been so busy relishing in the fact that her drink tasted so good she would have noticed the look of triumph that passed over his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lex watched the man as he held a drink out to Chloe. He felt the anger rise in him as they exchanged a few words. 'Chloe's not stupid enough to drink something a strange man in a club gave her. Right?'
He nearly yelled as the man said something that especially irked her and she the drink from him. He was so close to the bar. All he had to do was get to her and then he'd put his arm around her, and kiss her, and take her back to Smallville where people would never slip something into her drink. All he had to do was get to her and then they'd go back to their table, and sit and talk with friends, and he'd never let anyone hurt her again.
Just then a group of laughing teens not nearly old enough to be in The Glass Slipper stopped right in front of him. He looked up just as Chloe took a sip. 'Shit.'
The man smirked at her and at that moment Lex promised himself he would never smirk again. He could hear her tell him her name and saw him grab her hand when the music changed. He wanted to hit. no worse than that he wanted to maim the man when he pressed his lips right up to Chloe's ear. He was touching Chloe. His Chloe. That was it, He practically threw himself through the teens and bounded up the stairs toward the bar.
Chloe laughed when Riley pulled her into his arms and started dancing to the music. She wasn't sure what she was laughing about but suddenly the whole world had grown quite comical.
"This is a really nasty song, you know?" She giggled at the lyrics. She would never admit it but she knew all the words to Nine Inch Nails, "Closer to God".
"You know I hadn't until just now," Riley stated with the straightest face he could muster, getting another giggle from Chloe. This time he had to hold her up when she started to tip over. This stuff was great. He'd have to thank his supplier next time he stocked up. He looked down at the girl in his arms. She was now totally uninhibited swaying to the music and singing under her breath. "You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you. You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you."
He almost laughed when he realized what little chance he would have with her if she weren't under the influence of the very serious medicinal persuasion. He did laugh when he spun them both around and found himself staring into the ice blue eyes of Lex Luthor.
"Lex," he said barley keeping the laughter out of his voice, "Great to see you again."
"Riley, I believe you've got something that belongs to me," he grasped Chloe by the wrist and pulled her so she was behind him. He got an uneasy feeling at the way she stumbled over her own feet and then giggled as if nothing has happened. "What'd you give her?"
"I don't think she belongs to you Lex. Anyway isn't she a little smart for your usual one night lay," he stepped back to avoid any fists that flew at his face, but none came.
"What did you give her" his asked again his voice betraying none of the emotion he had inside.
Riley rolled his eyes and sighed. "Relax Luthor. I just gave her a little Special K." At Lex's blank look he chuckled. "You really have been in that hick town too long. Ketamine. It's new. It's used as an animal tranquilizer. Basically she'll feel a little disoriented tonight and will wake up with a shitter of a head ache and no memory of what happened."
This time the fist came and it connected squarely with his jaw. "Shit Luthor. I was just going to borrow her. I would have given her back," he said before turning on his heel and retreating through the crowd like a dog with it's tail between its legs.
He turned to find Chloe dancing seductively with another patron and quickly brushed off the dirty look the guy threw at him when he pulled Chloe away from him.
"Hey Lex," she said really brightly. He glanced over her face and noted that her eyes looked really distant.
"Hey Chloe, How do you feel?"
"Where's Riley," she asked standing on her tip toes to see over his shoulder. A small pout came to her lips when she saw he was gone. "He left me. Just like everyone else. Clark left me for Lana. Pete left me for some girl who's name I can't remember now. And you, you left me for someone who wasn't me." Her voice grew increasingly slurred and her eyes grew a little more distant.
"You'll always leave me," she was leaning on his shoulder now, letting out little whimpers that made her sound like a little hungry kitten.
"I'll never leave you again Chloe. Never again," he whispered stroking her head. They were the only two people on the dance floor moving at such a slow pace and both were getting tossed and jostled by the crowd. He took Chloe's arm and led her to the side of the dance floor.
"Do you really mean that, about never leaving me" she was staring deep into his eyes and a little of the fire was back in them. She moved her face closer to his and their lips were only inches apart.
"Yes," he whispered. All he had to do was lean his head down and they would both get what they wanted. And she wouldn't remember any of it.
"Kiss me." He could feel her lips they were so close to his. She closed her eyes and put her arms around his neck.
"No." It was barley a whisper but Chloe's eyes flew open and she took a step back from him. It took her a second to gain her balance without someone holding her up.
"What? No, you know what, you're allowed to not want to kiss me. That's OK your just like the other 100% of your species who don't want anything to do with me. I have to go to the bathroom." She turned and made her way through a few hot-and-heavy couples toward the bathrooms.
"Chloe," Lex called after her, but she was already gone. That wasn't the reaction he had been looking for. He wanted to kiss her more than anything else in the world but he was sort of leaning toward her remembering it when she woke up. He stalked back toward the table where Lana and Clark still sat.
"Lana I need you to go after Chloe," when Lana just glanced at him he decided it would be best to tell the whole truth. "She's in the bathroom. Somebody slipped a drug into her drink and I need to get her to a hospital." Now Lana was on her feet moving towards the back of the club.
"What's wrong with her," Clark asked the fear evident in his voice. "Is she going to be ok? Who slipped her this drug? Is he dead yet because if anything happens to Chloe he's going to wish he was before I ever lay a hand on him," the two men had stopped outside the big oak doors and there was nothing left to do but wait.
Chloe pushed open the door to the bathroom positively steaming. She was glad no one else was in the bathroom because she would have hated for anyone else to have to share in her misery. She gasped as she turned to the mirror. He eyes were blood shot and everything was beginning to get a little fuzzy.
"Breath in, out, in, out," she told mirror Chloe trying to calm her nerves. She'd heard Lex ask Riley about what he'd given her, but she couldn't quite remember what he'd said.
"You're okay," she told mirror Chloe trying to steady herself on the sink. All of a sudden mirror Chloe did a 180, the whole world flipped over, and she held onto the sink for dear life. She registered somewhere in the back of her mind the door opening but It was quickly diminished when her legs gave out and she veered forward, her head hitting the corner of the sink before smacking to the tile floor.
"Oh my god, Chloe," Lana was at her side in an instant. "Oh please be alright. We're going to take you to the hospital. Hold on Chloe."
She rushed out the doors and quickly rushed to Lex.
"She collapsed and hit her head on the sink. I can't get any response from her. You've got to do something." Lex was in the bathroom beside Chloe before Lana even had time to finish. Lana glanced up at Clarks face and knew that if anything happened to Chloe blood was going to fly tonight.
"Go find Pete," he said through gritted teeth, then walked into the bathroom.
"Chloe, you're gonna be alright. Just breath for me okay. Just keep on breathing." Lex had her wrapped up in his jacket and had pulled out his cell phone and was rapidly dialing numbers.
"Yes this is Lex Luthor. I need an ambulance..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last thing Chloe registered before slipping into unconsciousness was the sound of Lex's voice.
'What was Lex doing in the Girls' Bathroom?'
Diclaimer: I don't own anything. Do any of us?
