Chapter 8: Office liaisons
"It's gotta work somehow" Pete groaned, fiddling with the printer
"It says there's no ink, but I just put a new cartridge in one second ago. You saw me, right?" Pete laughed at the desperation in Chloe's voice, but stopped immediately as he recognised that evil look in her eyes.
"I don't get it!" she exclaimed, pounding the printer on the side with her fist "God dammit, I hate this printer, I hate Clark, I hate you, and I HATE this printer!"
"Calm down Chloe-bear, let's try it again" he soothed, clicking on the print button again. They heard the familiar whirr click whirr click, Chloe became hopeful when the white paper slid into the machine, but that stopped as soon as it slid out again; completely blank. Chloe became even more annoyed when the red 'no ink' light was soon joined by the green 'no paper' light.
"Damn these shitty facilities, I asked the principle for a better printer but noooo 'there isn't enough money in the funds, Chloe' hah! He probably doesn't think this newspaper isn't as important as new jock straps for those egotistical airheads. That's it, I'm going out there to give them a piece of my mind..." she ranted, starting to storm out. Pete took hold of her shoulders and shook her "Chloe, calm down, it will work, say it after me, it will work"
"It will work" Chloe repeated dutifully, Pete nodded
"Who's the best?" he asked
"You're the best"
"No, you're the best"
"I'm the best?"
"Yes"
"I'm the best"
"Very good"
"Thanks Pete. I'm OK now" she let out a breath of air and returned to the printer, upon seeing the two lights shining at her like a pair of mocking eyes, she let out a whiney sob. "Peeeeeeeeeete, it still not working, I'm seeing paper, I'm seeing ink, am I insane?" he gave her a one armed hug and grinned "Yep, your insane"
"Will this help?" as if out of nowhere, Lex came through the door. He was carrying a brand new printer still in it's box. Chloe and Pete stared as he began setting it up.
"Is it just me, or does this seem a little out of the ordinary to anyone else?" Chloe asked, blinking furiously.
"And convenient" Pete agreed, surveying the older man with intense dislike.
"And here a was thinking you would be used to strange happenings" Lex smirked, indicating to the Wall of Weird.
"Strange, Lex, not completely fucked up" Chloe grinned in amusement as he began to attach the plugs in the correct sockets.
"I think I'll go" Pete said stiffly, obviously sensing what was going on "I'll talk to you later, OK Chlo?" he looked meaningfully at her, then at Lex, and moved to leave.
"See ya Pete" she said, receiving no reply. Lex shook his head and let out a slow whistle while he continued to set up Chloe's new deity. Chloe stood up to face him. "How did you know we needed a printer?" Chloe asked suspiciously, while still admiring the new piece of equipment.
"Clark left here earlier, he mentioned something about needing one" he shrugged, assuming she knew the rest.
"Yes, Clark, the work-ditching scoundrel. So, was he helping his parents out with chores?" Chloe said irritably, eliciting a smile from Lex.
"I believe he was at the Talon, trying to woo the illustrious Ms Lang" he expected Chloe to have a full on 'I hate Clark' bitch session, needless to say he was surprised when she threw her hands up in defeat and leaned back against the wall, she looked a little like a deflated blowfish, but in a good way. He sat down in the office chair, surprised at how comfy it was.
"I know what your thinking" she sighed "Your thinking 'she looks like a deflated blowfish' aren't you?" he chuckled lightly
"But in a good way"
"Oh, of course" she nodded, not believing him one inch "But you know what they say about blowfish, don't you?" she said seductively, walking up to him so although she was short, she towered over him.
"What?" he asked, realising his breathing had gone shallow.
She said nothing, she just straddled him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her soft lips against his. He responded hungrily, almost literally devouring her mouth. Lex was shocked at first, he thought she was too shy to make the first move, but as her tongue flicked over the roof of his mouth, he realised he didn't care. She tasted like Maclean's whitening sensation, coffee, purple flavour, and for some strange reason; oregano. She wiggled slightly and he almost bit her tongue off, he liked the way her skirt rode up her thighs, he could see more of her tanned skin that way. And before he knew what he was doing, his hand was on the inside of her thighs and she was moaning like crazy into his mouth, he like it when she did that too. Chloe froze when she heard a knocking on the door, but Lex continued persistently, she managed to break away, panting loudly.
"Hello? It's Lana! I know your in there, Chloe!" Lana's voice floated through the thankfully locked door. Chloe's scared eyes turned to his relaxed ones.
"It's Lana! Hide!" she whispered, glancing frantically around "Under the desk! Quick!" he started to protest, but she shoved him under by his shoulders and went to get the door.
"Lana! How nice to see you! Come in!" she said a shade too brightly, Lana looked confused and amused at the same time. Chloe ran back to her desk so Lana wouldn't look under it "What can I do for you?" Lana blushed and pointed to Chloe's shirt
"Um, your top button is...er..." Chloe looked down and realised half her bra was exposed. Damn Lex and his inconspicuous fingers!
Chloe tried to giggle "Don't worry about that, they're just a little hard to control sometimes" Lana looked as embarrassed as Chloe felt. Chloe quickly did up the button and kicked Lex, he made a small yelp of pain and Chloe instantly regretted it.
"What was that?" Lana asked, inspecting the desk
"Nothing!" Chloe said loudly "It's just a little squeaky"
"Oh" Lana said awkwardly
"So why are you here?" Chloe asked, desperate to get out of this situation
"I have my article for the newspaper" Lana said, handing Chloe a blue disk "And by the way, there's a party at my house, everyone will be there, I want you to come"
"I would l-" Chloe stopped and started laughing, Lex had begun licking her knees and along her thighs.
"Chloe, what's so funny?" Chloe stopped laughing as his tongue went further up, and she began breathing sharply.
"Party. Funny. Ha ha" Chloe said, gasping slightly as he pulled her panties to the side, she parted her thighs .
"Riiiight" Lana said, surveying her friend with worry. Chloe bit her lip has his muscular tongue penetrated her, trying her hardest not to be obvious, she spread her legs wider and moved closer to him.
"So you're coming?" Lana asked slowly. Chloe's mouth fell open as his tongue brushed over her sensitive spot, she couldn't help but moan. "What was that Chloe?" Lana was genuinely scared for Chloe's mental health, she moved closer and put her hand on her forehead.
"You're hot, are you OK?" she moved back, Chloe clenched her fists as Lex's tongue moved further into her. She put her hand under the desk and pushed him deeper into between her legs.
"I'm fine" she gasped "I'm coming...to your party. OK, bye, lots to do" Lana left reluctantly, and closed the door quietly behind her. Still concerned over Chloe's well-being.
"OHHHJJEEEEEEEZZZZZUSSSSS!" she screamed, arching into him as she came. He rose out from under the desk, straightening himself up.
"Well Chloe?" he asked, helping her off the chair "What do they say about blowfish?"
"Who cares?" she growled, pouncing on him.
"It's gotta work somehow" Pete groaned, fiddling with the printer
"It says there's no ink, but I just put a new cartridge in one second ago. You saw me, right?" Pete laughed at the desperation in Chloe's voice, but stopped immediately as he recognised that evil look in her eyes.
