Disaster Prone
Needless to say Chloe didn't sleep at all, her inquisitive nature got the best of her and she spent most of the night exploring the manor. She had just made it to the kitchen when she heard a voice behind her.
"Didn't you know its rude to investigate other peoples houses?" Lex asked.
"I thought that only applied to medicine cabinets and underwear drawers." Chloe answered.
Lex shook his head. "When you're in a Luthor's house it applies to everything. Don't you have school tomorrow?"
"Yeah but you know what they say-"
"Curiosity killed the cat?" Lex interrupted.
"Satisfaction brought it back." Chloe shot back.
"I'll take you back to your room. What time do you want to leave for school?" Lex asked guiding her back up the stairs.
"About 7:30. I want to go over some of the articles for the paper. Clark is horrible when it comes to grammar."
Chloe was once again seated behind her notebook in the Torch office when Pete waltzed in with Clark and Lana on his heels. Chloe held out her hand for the articles and all three placed a disk in her hand. "Clark, I was just going over your last article and - seriously! Have you even heard of grammar check?"
"My, aren't we crabby today." Clark smiled as he took a seat beside the printer.
"Chloe you don't look well.did you get enough sleep last night?" Lana asked.
"No. I was up most of the night. My dad is stuck in New York and he won't be back for a week." Chloe sighed.
"Oh. I'm sorry Chloe!" Lana smiled sympathetically, "Do you wanna come stay with me and Nell?"
"No, I'm ok really." Chloe shook her head.
"Come on Chlo, you can't stay in that house on your own!" Clark said.
"Actually, I'm staying with someone, so I'm fine."
"Who?" Lana asked.
Chloe shot a quick look at Pete. "Um.Dad asked me to stay with Lex."
"Lex? As in Lex Luthor." Pete laughed. "You have got to be kidding me!"
"No, actually I'm not. I'm staying with him until Dad gets back."
"Well, you can tell him that you're gonna come stay with me, that way you don't have to hang with him." Pete said seriously.
"It's okay, I probably won't even see him that much, what with school and the paper and him working. Plus I'm sure he can spare the room, I'd just feel like I'm imposing with you guys."
Pete shook his head walking to the door. "Whatever. If you wanna stay with that spoilt little rich brat, who am I to stop you?"
Chloe stood. "Pete."
"Nah, it's okay Chlo. I just thought you were above the 'Luthor Charm'." He said and slammed the office door after him.
