Life, Love, and Lots of Coffee

A/N: First of all, thank you so much for the reviews. I am so happy that ff.n now sends emails when a review comes in. If they hadn't I probably wouldn't have check and wouldn't have been so MOTIVATED (or REMINDED) to write more, and would have just forgotten all about it. Those cap locked words up there bring me to my next point. I need to raise money for the 'help get the stick out of gracie's ass' foundation. Excuse me, but I was not asking for bribes. I was asking for some (I'll repeat) MOTIVATION or REMINDERS about and for this fanfiction. I was so hoping that somebody would be stupid enough to give me one of those reviews, as I had seen on another wonderful fanfiction that had asked for a little motivation. Come on people! Did I write the word bribe in that chapter at all? No? That's what I thought. Please get a life. If you didn't want the 'bribes' to continue, why write a review? Hmm? OK, so before this a/n gets longer then the fanfiction itself, I would like to thank everybody who reviewed all nice and pretty, hehehe, then tell everybody else that I will send a name of a doctor and a small fund of money to remove that horrible stick. Thank you for reading my ramblings (if you in fact did). (Oh and before I forget, please never become a Chlark. That is just plain. no. this is a Chlex. just.no. OK I think I need to shed a few tears).

Summary: Chloe walks out of the Talon. She needs coffee. No surviving without coffee. She runs into Lex. She really needs coffee. They talk. Coffee is needed even more. He asks her a very important question. Where's that damn coffee?

Disclaimer: I don't own the show. I own this fanfiction. I own the rights to this fanfiction. Therefore nobody tell me what not to write. BUT if I did own the show Lex and Chloe would have at least two scenes an episode together and at least one of them would be a flirt O' Rama (remember that one?), note to self: write letter to producers and beg for more Chlex scenes, Lana would have real problems (my aunt's boyfriend is weird and Whitney is far away and I'm in love with Clark crap are not real problems. Those are lovey dovey kids crap. I know, I know they're kids but everybody else has more sophisticated problems and deals with them better then she does), and Chloe would rule the Earth. 'Nuff said.

Now we begin.

How could he? How could he?! Oh no, can't get mad at Pete too. Soon I'll be out of friends to get mad at. I'll be lonely, loner Chloe hanging out in the computer room. After a little while I'll forget to take baths. I'll be smelly Chloe. Oh god. Everybody's going to call me smelly Chloe. Then they'll forget my name is Chloe and they'll call me smelly Edna. Then with my repoutation ruined the newspaper will be handed to some girl named Betty. Oh no!

Ok, wait. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Just don't get mad at Pete. He's a man. He likes Lana. I mean all the guys do. Why should Pete be any different? For once I wished I knew just one man that wasn't interested in Lana. I would probably make out with him on the spot.

"Chloe?"

Ohmigosh. I'm magical. I wish I had a million dollars.

Crap.

Just checking.

"Chloe? Is that you?"

I turn around.

Oh no.

"Hey Lex. Its. uh. hi. and. um."

I need coffee. I need coffee real bad.

"Chloe, sounds like you haven't had any coffee yet."

God, he's the prefect man.

No. He's not the prefect man. He's the. unperfect man.

"No. no. I've had plenty of coffee! Like a gallon. Yep, I gallon of coffee."

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I could have gotten Lexy to get me some coffee to go.

Somebody shoot me. I did not think Lexy. no. I was thinking of a good name of a cat. That's right my new cats going to be named Lexy. And she can stay at Lex's place and I can visit him all I want.

No!

Oh god. I need coffee.

"Oh." He smiled.

He has the perfect smile. The way his teeth hardly show. and. ugh. I can't think of anything to say that would cover up that one.

"Yeah. I."

"Do you need a ride home?" Lex says. I freeze. Say no. You don't want to go into Lex's car. Getting into his car is like taking drugs. Just say no.

"Yeah ok."

Crap. I am such an idiot.
