The next day, Chloe woke up to the sound of her alarm clock blaring at her.
She got up, and dressed, then went downstairs to opened the front door. No
rose, no note, nothing. Chloe walked back inside a little
disappointed. "Morning Chloe." Her father said when she came into the kitchen.
"Hey dad, I'm off to school I'll see you tonight." Chloe said grabbing the
rest of her things.
"No rose today, right?" Her father asked, though it was more of a statement,
knowing her as well as he did he could tell for her attitude. Just as she was
heading to the door she replied "Yep, I dunno maybe it was a one time joke or
something." She was trying not to sound disappointed.
"I don't think so, maybe he is loosing his nerve a little. I bet buy the time
you get home, there will be one waiting for you and maybe someone with it." he
said smiling.
"Thanks dad. Bye!" Chloe said before walking out the door and to her car. 'I
only hope he's right' Chloe thought to her self as she drove to school. Before
stopping by the Torch, Chloe stopped at her locker to get her books for her
first few classes. When she opened her locker, she saw something that made her
forget about her classes and everything else for a second. Lying in her locker
was another rose, along with a note. She took it out of her locker and read the
note. 'Your close to my heart and yet so far my love.' Chloe couldn't help the
huge grin that came across her face at that moment. 'This better not be a joke,
oh please don't let it be a joke, let it be Lex.' Chloe chose to ignore the
last part of her thought. "Hey Chloe, what's that?" a voice beside her asked.
"Oh its nothing Clark." Chloe told him shoving the rose and note back into her
locker.
"It's another rose isn't it?" Clark asked even though it sounded more like a
statement.
"So, what if it is?" Chloe shot at him 'Where did that come form?' she thought
suddenly "Sorry, I was just wondering if you had found out who was sending
them." Clark said while giving her a perplexed look "Um, no I haven't" she told him as she started walking to the Torch office. Clark followed her while
asking "Do you have any idea who it is?"
"Nope not at all." she told him setting her things down in the office, then
plopping into her chair. "Oh I wonder who it is. I mean who would send you
flowers?" he said sitting down in the seat next to her "Gee thank you for the complement Clark!" she said hotly.
"What? What did I say!?" Clark asked her in a stunned tone.
"You make it sound like me getting roses and notes for a secret admire is the
least likely thing to ever happen!" she said turning in her seat to glare at
him.
"I'm sorry Chloe, I didn't mean that. it's just different, that's all." Clark
said giving her puppy dog eyes. 'Wow he really looks sad when he does that' she
thought then answered,
"Whatever, I just hope it's not some dumb joke someone deiced to play."
"Oh, I don't think it's that, I bet its some great guy that wants to get to
know you better." Clark reassured her along with a mega watt grin.
"Yeah I hope so. He just better not be the next person on the 'Wall of Weird'
though." Chloe said smiling a little
"I'm sure he's not." Clark told her.
Later that night Chloe sat in the Talon thinking about the notes and the
roses. 'Who would take the time to send roses with sweet notes? Who do I know
that has the brains to think up something so..... romantic?' Chloe thought as
she sipped on her coffee. 'Well, that rules out Clark and Pete and every other
boy I know. Not that Clark and Pete aren't smart and sweet but they couldn't
think of something like this. It's just to mature for them.' she was still
thinking when Lana came up. "Hey Chloe do you need a refill?" Lana asked her
"Um, no thanks Lana, I'm fine." Chloe told her
"OK, that's not the reason I came over." Lana said taking the set next to
Chloe.
"Then why did you come over?" Chloe asked, but she had a pretty good idea what the reason was. "Well I wanted to ask if you had any idea who sent you the rose
and note" Lana said leaning close to Chloe so no one else could hear.
"Um make that roses and notes. I got another one this morning in my locker. And
no, I have no idea whose doing it." She told the other girl.
"Wow, I wonder who it is. Well, who do you want it to be?" Lana said with a
playful grin.
"Ummm, I can't really think of any one." Chloe said while her mind and heart
screamed 'LEX' in big neon lights "Well, I sure you'll think of someone. I gotta get back before the caffeine deprived teens of Smallville start getting
violent." Lana said smiling.
"OK Lana, and I'll keep you posted." Chloe told her.
"You better." was her repeal. Chloe got up, got her things and headed home. As
she got ready for bed her thoughts were on why she kept hoping it was Lex
sending her the roses. 'I never thought of him like that before the roses
started showing up. Maybe because he seems to be the only guy I know that has
the maturity to think of something like that. Or maybe it's the fact he's hot
beyond all else with the smirk, the eyes, the great body. Wow down harmonies!'
she thought shaking herself. She decided not to think about it anymore that
night. Yeah like that worked, she finally fell asleep still thinking of Lex and
his smirk and those eyes and of course that great body.
