Chapter Eight: No Footsteps on the Ground
Chloe couldn't believe it. One minute, she and Lex were just casually talking, the next minute he was kissing her. It took a second for her brain to comprehend this. Lex Luthor is kissing me!! She went along with it until she realized that they were in the middle of the Talon. She pulled away.
"I'm sorry Chloe, it's just that I." Lex began, but was interrupted by the girl reporter.
"No, believe me, it's not that. It's just that I don't want people thinking stuff about us, because I don't even know what to think. I mean, we're in the middle of the Talon. Clark could walk in at any moment, and then where would we be? He'd freak, Lana'd freak, and Pete would attack you with a pot of scalding hot coffee. So do you think we could resume this somewhere a little more private?" Chloe couldn't believe she was able to form comprehensible sentences after what just happened. Pretty damn good, huh? she thought to herself.
Lex laughed. "See? That's what I like about you. Always keeping things in perspective." He paused. "So where do you want to continue our little conversation?" He smirked.
"I have to finish up the latest issue of the Torch, so could we just go to the Torch office? No one should be there," she added. She let her mind wander, and shook her head. Chloe! None of those thoughts about Lex right now! she told herself.
"I don't see why not." They got up, and Lex put his hand on Chloe's back as they walked out of the coffeehouse. Lana hadn't been watching, but she now noticed the two as they left. And she wasn't the only one who noticed Smallville's number one playboy leaving the Talon with the snarky teenage reporter. The whole congregation seemed to see the two, and gave them confused glances.

"So what do you have to finish up?" Lex asked as they arrived in the Torch office.
"Oh, just a story I'm doing on what pushes kids to suicidal tendencies." She said this nonchalantly, and Lex knew she wasn't joking. He hadn't forgotten how he'd saved her from killing herself only three days before.
"Chloe." "Oh, lighten up, Lex. I'm over it. Really. I just want other kids to know that it's not worth it. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Chloe grinned. "Plus, you wouldn't be here with me right now had a jumped off that ledge."
Lex wrapped his arms around her and tilted her head towards his. Their untamed passion was released in a kiss that could've set the office on fire. As they were making their way to the couch in the corner, Lex thought he heard footsteps. No, he decided he was just being paranoid as he and Chloe continued to kiss.
Then he heard a male voice clear his throat.
