"So that's all it said? That's strange." Lana said to Chloe.

"I know I just don't get it, the first two have already started to dye. There must to be a hidden message there or something." Chloe said taking a sip of her coffee. She and Lana were sitting in the Talon before school so Lana could get things started there and Chloe could get her caffeine fix.

"Who knows, what it could mean. Any way, what if it is Lex? Do you really feel safe thinking that a Luther sent you a note with the word 'die' in it?" Lana asked.



"Lana your talking about Lex, I don't think it's him. However, if it is him, I wouldn't have any reason not to feel safe. Lex has never done anything to me." Chloe told the other girl. 'It's not him it can't be, my crushes are one sided.

Always have been, always will be and I'm not going to argue with my self.' Chloe thought.

"OK but I'm still dying to know who it is!" Lana said.

"You and me both, I can't imagine who it could be, I mean who has the maturity and money to do something like this?" Chloe asked.

"Well, don't tell them I said this but that somewhat rules out Clark and Pete. They are my friends and I care for them but I don't think they would come up with this." Lana said in a low voice.

"Hey don't worry about it I thought the same thing. It's just not something they would do." Chloe said sipping her coffee.

"Come on we have to get to school, I don't want to be late." Lana said getting her things while Chloe did the same.

"Let's go." Chloe said walking to her car with Lana.

'No note today and it's getting late.' Chloe thought for the tenth time that hour. It was seven in the evening and she was still working on the Torch. 'I normal love Fridays, I can put in longer hours but, I can't write anything!' Chloe thought groaning and hitting the side of the computer. "That's it! I'm taking a break." Chloe said out load to the empty office.

She drove to the Talon for some coffee in hopes that it would get her though the writer's block that had decided to jump up at her. As she walked in she notice Lana talking to Lex at the counter. 'I will not squeak, I will not make an ass of myself.' Chloe thought to herself as she made her way to the counter.

"Oh hey, Chloe." Lana said happily.

"Hey Lana." Chloe said quietly.

"Hello Chloe, how are you?" Lex asked.

"Um fine just taking a caffeine break before I start working all night on the the Torch." Chloe told him.

"Hey here's your coffee, Chloe." Lana said smiling, and Chloe gladly took the coffee.

"Thanks Lana, I better get back." Chloe told them.

"No please stick around for a little while I've got no one to talk with." Lana said.

"Oh OK, I guess I will, but only a little while. I've got get back soon." Chloe said sitting down.

"Well, I have to go, I have other things to do. Good night Lana. Chloe, I hope to see you soon." Lex said giving Chloe a smile.

"Good night, Lex." Lana said smiling widely.

"Good bye, Mr. Luther." Chloe said turning back to Lana. She chatted with Lana for close to a half an hour before she left to get back to the Torch.



When she walked though the halls she noticed a weird glow coming from the Torch office. 'What the hell is that?' Chloe thought as she walked into the office. She gave a small grasp when she entered the room. There were candles all over

the place, giving off the soft glow Chloe had see out in the hall. Chloe herd the door shut behind her and turned around to see......... AN Should I stop here? Joking!



"Lex?" Chloe asked surprised.

Lex just smiled at her and handed her a gold dipped rose. Chloe's eyes became wide as she looked at the rose. 'I will love you till all theses die.' Chloe thought as she looked at the rose. Finally Chloe looked up at Lex, he was just standing there looking at her. It looked as if he was about to say something. But Chloe didn't care, she put down the rose and rapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She felt Lex stiffen at first but soon he was kissing her back.

"You know I had a great loving speech planned but I have a feeling it might not be needed." Lex said once they had parted.

"Hmmmm no not yet anyway but I do have one question. Why?" Chloe asked looking into his eyes.

"Why? Because you are the most amazing person I have ever met. You have this light inside of you that commands attention. And your breathtaking but, you don't use it to your advantage. You treat others with respect and command the same respect from others. Your perfect." Lex told her looking deeply in her eyes.

It was as if he was stating the obvious, as if everyone should view her that way and they were blind if they didn't. Chloe was lost for words, no one had ever said anything to her like that and she had never really expected any one to.

"Wow." was all she could say before pulling Lex in for another kiss. 'I can't believe it was him, I knew it was him. I'm kissing Lex I can't believe this I could die with a smile on my face right now.' Chloe thought but as the kiss deepened all thought went out the window. Finally when little details such as air became a problem they parted.

"If I had known this was the reaction I was going to get I would have done this sooner." Lex said holding her in his arms.

"Yes well I'm glad you finally got around to it." Chloe said smiling, then placing her head on his shoulder.

"Hmmm I would like to know, did you know it was me or was I actually able to surprise you?" Lex asked her.

"I wanted it to be you more then anything and most of the clues pointed to you. I mean, who else has the maturity to come up with something so romantic. However I kept trying to tell myself it wasn't, I just never thought you would ever see me like that." Chloe confessed.

"You mean you never thought I could love you. I tried very hard not to Chloe, I thought I was beyond love but I just couldn't stop thinking about you and all the things you say and the way you move." Lex said clearly having a little difficulty expressing his feelings.

"I never thought anyone would ever love me like that. I don't know why I just never have." Chloe told him looking into his eyes and was shocked at the love she saw in them.

"Do you think you'll ever be able to love me?" Lex asked, worry clear in his tone.

"I don't think I'm completely in love with you yet but I can see myself getting here in the near further." Chloe said smiling at him. He smiled back and kissed her again.

"What happens now? I want a relationship with you Chloe but I don't want to push you." Lex said looking deep into her eyes.

"You won't have to push me because I'm already pulling." Chloe told him.

"Good but what about you father and friends? Do you want to tell them or wait?" Lex asked her.

"Hmmm I think we should think about that later." Chloe said pulling him down for another kiss, she could feel Lex smirking as the kiss deepened.

Finally, Chloe had found her secret admire. It wasn't the latest meteor freak or some dumb jock playing a joke on her. It had turned out to truly be her handsome rich prince to come, sweep her off her feet. And you know what? He did.
