At the Kent's farm.
"My life is a nightmare!" sighed Clark after finishing his milk glass.
"What is it son?" asked Jonathan taping on his shoulder's son.
"Chloe and Lex are dating." he said acknowledging the face of his father.
"What!!! This is non-sense! Since when?" he said asked with slight angriness
"A week or so. Can you believe that?" he asked to his father.
"No I can't."
"Neither can't I!" said a voice behind them. They saw Pete breathing hard with a worried look showing on his face.
"What is that suppose to mean?" asked Clark.
"I saw them kissing. Does this count?" he said.
"Because they are kissing each other!" said Jonathan with a look of disgust.
"Stop it you guys!" said a softer voice.
It was Martha, she was smiling. Unlike the others she saw the good part of the relationship between Chloe and the young Luthor.
"You're okay with that?" asked her son.
"Why wouldn't I be? After all it's her decision! How can the three of you talk about Chloe like she was some irresponsible teenager?" she said not believing the way the three of them were acting.
"How can you say that? You know that I don't think that about Chloe." said Clark with a sad face. He was looking down at the ground.
"And the two of you don't answer this question. She is sixteen after all and were are not her parents to decide what's best for her. We should let Gabe take care of this. After all, I know I'm like a second mother to her. If she was my daughter I cannot say that I would have acted the same way that right now because we'll never know the answer. You should all accept this. Pete maybe you hate Lex but if he makes Chloe happy, you shouldn't see any problem in this relationship. Jonathan stop acting like you are their age. And Clark I know you love her dearly but maybe she had moved on." she said with all the concern a loving mother can own.
They all looked at her with a stern face.
"You right honey." her husband said kissing her and leaving the kitchen.
The two young boys were silent and didn't know what to say.
"You should have known that she was eventually going to fall in love boys." she said to them.
"Maybe but with him! C'mon Mrs. Kent don't tell me you seriously think that he is perfect for her."
"No, you said that he was perfect at first place. I'm only saying that she has a life out of the Torch, you two boys and everything I'm skipping, she also needs a love life. Have you even consider that she may had like him way before ?"
"No ma'm because I thought that she still loved Clark." said Pete to the older woman.
"I'm also sad boys. I would have love the idea of Chloe going out with my son but she chose a different path." she sad with a sad caring voice.
"Maybe you're Mrs. Kent, anyway my date is waiting in the car. God bless her! she know how much I care for Chloe." and with his last spoken words he left the place.
Clark was still thinking and displaying a sad face. He was pouting, he usually looked like this when it used to be all about Lana. The former girl of his fantasies, his former love. He was really sad now.
"Why does it always happen to me? I always seem to realize how much I care for her after I do a fally and pathetic thing that eventually is going to hurt her even more." he said.
"I think you just answered your own question Clark." she said to him.
She gave him a big motherly hug and left him alone in the kitchen. his mind was boiling, he was planning something.

At the hamburger stand.
They both ordered their meals. They sat on one of the numerous picnic tables. He watched her putting some mustard and ketchup in her hamburger and pouring some ketchup and salt on her French fries. She took a sip of her pop. And looked at him
"So are you ready?" she asked with a smile upon her angelic face.
"What am I suppose to start with?" he asked with a desperate look.
She took his hamburger and put some mustard and ketchup in it. She did the same torture that she did to her fries to his.
"Now you just have to eat." she said. She opened her mouth ate bit in her hamburger. She was chewing it with a satisfied look on her face. She had some ketchup on the side of her mouth. Eating hamburger was surely a dangerous sport for the satin t-shirt of hers so it grabbed a napkin and quickly took the ketchup off her creamy skin.
"Thank you." she said to him.
She looked at his hamburger and noticed that he hadn't tasted it.
"So what are you waiting for?" she asked to her boyfriend.
He saw the fire in her eyes. He smirked and took his hamburger and took a big bite. She looked at him with a big smile.* God he is so adorable with a lot of food in his mouth.* you should have seen that picture, his mouth was full while chewing the meaty substance. He swallowed it and look at her with a smile.
"Not that bad." he said biting in his hamburger again.
She sure was satisfied about the fact that she initiated Lex to fast food. Of course it wasn't the greatest thing in the world but it sure was a good start. The lovers finished their meal and headed to his car.
"So you liked it?" she asked childishly.
"Yeah. Not what I thought at all." he said taking a peppermint candy and handing her one too.
"The onions right?" she asked to him. And he simply nodded.
He didn't want to kiss her with a bad breath it would kill her. They made their way to his manor.
"So now it's your turn to decide what we should do next about our long boring lifeless night." said Chloe with a big smile on her face.
"Would you like to interview me?" he asked.
"Yeah. That's a good idea after all you did promise me one before my dad comes back from Metropolis." she replied.
"I hadn't promised you anything." he said with grin.
"Whatever you say, you're in a complete denial." she jokingly said pull out her thong.
He plenty advantage of it and kissed her hungrily. She did a little noise of protest but when he rub her thong with his she replaced it by a moan that made him shuddered literally. He wrapped his arms around her small waist and brought her closer. Her hands were resting on his chest and were hearing his heart beat with attention. His right and was now under her shirt rubbing her lower back which send waves of passion which made her shiver completely. Every time they were touching each other , they both found themselves on fire. He kissed her more deeply and her hands took off his expensive jacket and let it fell on the hard and cold ground.
He pushed her on the wall. It made Chloe remembering what they had gone through that night when she first arrived here. She didn't wanted to that fast because she didn't know him enough. She stopped abruptly.
He looked at her with a hurt expression draw on his beautiful face.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I thought we were talking about an interview and I suggest that we shall do that before this go any further." she said to him.
"Okay. We can back to want we just started later." he said to her with a little bitterness pinching in his voice.
"I'll see you in the library." he finished and picked up his jacket and hers and leaved her alone in the hallway.
She didn't expect this coldness that just slapped her. She just followed the hallway and hurried to her room to take the tape recorder. She stopped to see her reflection in this beautiful mirror. She saw that her eyes were about to rain, to bleed the hurt stream down on her face.
She wiped the tears away and walk out of her 'room', now she was just turned in a wrath. How dare he makes her cry like this? She walked in the library and saw him sitting in his leather hair peacefully waiting for her. He was watching the fire reaching their shadows in the fireplace.
"It took you quite some time." he said to her like throwing a pot full of iced water in her face.
"Well, I had to find my tape recorder besides I had to reconsider our relationship. I realized that I should stop living in this chimera and that should solve this conundrum on my own." she said to him sitting on the leather chair next to his.
"What is this conundrum?" he asked to her. Ready for the challenge.
"You." she responded.
"Me?" he said quite surprised by her tone.
"Yes. You're there kissing me like it was the last time you were going to hold me in your arms and after you throw me harshly away like I was one on of your bimbos." she said rudely.
"Sorry if I made you fell that way-
"Oh will you please quit this ' I am the king of emotionless bastard' thing because it's not going to work here. And by the way the last the last time you kissed me will remain the last. I'll call Lana and ask her if I can stay at her place for the rest of the week." she said to him with venom. And this wasn't a menace because Chloe was far away from the Oscar winner queen of manipulation.
"I still don't know you after all that happened. All that I know is that you never eaten some fast food before today and that's all!"
"What because knowing that I care for you is not enough!" he yelled to her with pain in his voice.
"How do you expect me to believe that?" she said laughing sarcastically. Okay picking that laughing at Lex's feelings was the wrong choice.
Because now he was really angry. He throw his scotch in the fireplace and the crystal exploded.
She received some burning pieces on her fragile skin. IT cut her slightly and some blood showed up.
She was scared of him now she sat down again and wrapped herself. She was really scared of him. Never thought he could contain this rage in him. He was now standing and breathing irregularly. He walked his way next to his desk and dialled a number.
"Mrs. Potter I have a favour to ask."
"Yes I'm fine. It's just that I would like that if you could let Miss Sullivan stay at your place for the rest of the week I have an important meeting in Metropolis."
"No she just wanted to stay at Lana's place. That's all. I think it will be better I don't want to leave here in this manor alone especially since her father asked me to take care of her while he was gone. But I decided to join him at this conference and that's why I called you."
"IT's okay then. I'll leave her tomorrow at your house. Thank you."
With this conversation he hung up. He spun and saw Chloe's face buried in her small hands. She was crying. He just looked at her and he couldn't help anything else but being guilty for what he had just done. He did this to others but they weren't crying at least not in from of him. They didn't even cared about him but she cared and that was the problem. He didn't know how to act towards this. He sure saw two women cry and it was her mother and Pamela. And he couldn't handle this, when he saw they cry it awoken something in him that was impossible to describe but the feeling was there now. It was to late to say I'm sorry.
He just handed her a box of puff Kleenex. She didn't accept it. She didn't want his pity and she didn't want his words to comfort her, not after what he did to make her feel so horribly sad and so heart-broking. Clark never sure did make her feel like this. She just realized how much she loved him but also how hard she could hate him right now. She was scared about what he was going to say or do next but he only surrounded her with his warmth . He knelt on her side and hold her tightly. He rested his head on her lap and let slipped a little whisper.
She heard him say 'I love you Chloe' and put an hand on his bare and soft scalp as a sign to respond him. An act that her mother used to do when he was visiting her at the hospital. When he didn't know what to say and all he wanted to do his hold her and let touch his bare head. Her hands where soft like his mothers.
He sure did had a funny way to show his love but he did opened up his heart to her right now. She couldn't help it she said it back to him. She told him how she cared for him too. She whispered her feeling back with softness.
"I love you too Lex."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * *
Somebody outside witnessed the whole scene. He was standing by the tree using his X- ray vision and his super-hearing strength, he realized how much Lex cared for Chloe. And his plan turn down into rubble like a big pile of dust. His mother was right about Chloe, his mother knew how much Chloe could be charming. He was and heard it , she was truly in love with Lex. He would love being in Lex's place right now. To hold her to tell her how much he cares for her but it was to late. But tomorrow is his lucky day since Lex was sending Chloe to Lana's place for the rest of the week. He could maybe figure out something else since Lex was going to Metropolis. He was smiling deep down inside. It was easy to get rid of Whitney Fordman when he used to be so 'in love' with Lana but now it was Lex. A complete and different person. With Fordman he didn't really need to have a plan but he felt something invaded him, hatred. He never felt this before.
But what could he do? That was the BIG question.
