"Clark?!" Chloe cried as she opened the door to her cousin Lois's
apartment.
"Hey, Chloe," Clark replied, grinning, as Chloe threw her arms around him.
"Wait, wait! I'm mad at you! And you're supposed to be fawning over Lana, and then breaking my teenage heart by dating her when I'm back in Smallville. What are you doing here?" Chloe asked.
"Nice to see you too. Can I come in?" Clark replied, unalarmed by Chloe's question.
"Oh, yeah! Come on in," Chloe said, a bit too loudly and a bit too cheerfully.
"Where's your cousin?" Clark asked.
"I think she went to get groceries. Want something to drink?" Chloe asked, already heading towards the kitchen with Clark following her.
"Water, I guess. Whoa, is this Lois? She's NICE looking!" Clark said, gazing at a picture on the countertop.
"You'll never learn, will you?" Chloe muttered as she fumbled around in the kitchen, trying to find cups.
"What are you talking about?
"Oh, did I say that out loud?" Chloe asked, handing Clark his cup and brushing past him as she walked back into the living room.
"Yeah, you did. Care to elaborate?"
"I...I'm mad at you, Clark. You know I like...liked you, but you didn't think you had to give me your whole heart. You thought you could play half and half forever, I guess. But, newsFLASH! You can't. I need to know where I stand, and I don't want it to be one of those stupid things you say to try to avoid hurting my feelings. I need the truth." Chloe said, looking at Clark dead-on.
"I had...no, I should've known. And I think you're right. I was wrong...what I did was wrong. And you...and I..." Clark was cut off by the front door banging open and a female voice calling out.
"Chloe, Lex is here for you! He brought you flowers! You need..." Lois's face dropped as she entered the living room and noticed Chloe wasn't alone.
"Oh, hi! You must be Clark. I'm Lois, It's nice to meet you...and I'm sorry to be rude, but I need to get some of these groceries in the freezer." Lois said, gently easing herself out of the tense moment between the Smallvillians, silently wishing her cousin luck.
"Lex?" Clark questioned, eyeing the flowers in Lex's hands.
"Clark." Lex replied, noting how close Chloe and Clark were sitting.
"Crap," Chloe said, causing both guys to focus on her.
"Hey, Chloe," Clark replied, grinning, as Chloe threw her arms around him.
