everybody, all the reveiws are great! wonderful! spectacular! inspiring! i could go on, but i'm sure you'd rather be reading the chapter, so...
enjoy...
why me?
The rest of the day went by rather quickly. Lex completely covered himself in his work, not once thinking about Chloe. Well, maybe once, or twice. But, other than that, it was pretty uneventful. No word from his father, which was always a good thing. Usually.
Lex found it somewhat strange that his Father had not taken any sort of action, yet. He knew he would. It was in his nature. Which made Lex somewhat uneasy. Whatever his father was planning, it would not be good.
Now it was Wednesday, one more day closer to their 'date.' And, at the present time, the sun was slowly sinking into the earth, deciding that it was once again time to visit the other side and allow the moon to grace our presence. Lex sat there, watching it. It was now at that place where it hesitated. Letting its light shine one last time on this desolate place. Promising that it won't be gone long.
As it disappeared, Lex closed the curtains. Turning around, he made his way to the door. He hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, and he was slightly hungry.
But, before he could turn the knob, his cell rang.
Groaning, he began to walk back towards his desk to retrieve the phone from his jacket.
"What?" Lex asked, slightly annoyed, and angry. He was hungry, and he wasn't in the mood to talk to anybody, unless that person was...
"You asshole! Don't you dare get mad at *me*!" she yelled into the phone.
Lex laughed. "Chloe, how nice it is to hear your voice," he said, soothingly, trying to calm her down. Clark had obviously talked to her already.
"Drop it. I can't believe what you did that to me!" She was still yelling. And it sounded as if she was stomping around.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Lex said, smoothly.
"Oh, pulease! You know exactly what I'm talking about. That little stunt you pulled...Oh, you are so lucky I'm not there right now."
"Would you like to be," Lex teased, his voice husky and seductive.
Chloe screamed. "You are impossible, you know that?"
"The thought has crossed my mind."
"Really? Good for you. Do you have any idea what I've been through in the last 24 hours?"
"No, but I'm sure you're gonna tell me."
"Damn right, I am. See, yesterday, I was at the Talon. Sipping my coffee like everyone else. Then, in comes Clark and Pete. Both looking very upset."
Lex laughed. Pete got involved? He was almost upset that he wasn't there to witness that.
"They walked over to me, and practically accused me of being in love with you! And, oh, get this, Lana overhears! Lana!"
Lex covered the phone with his hand so she wouldn't hear him laughing.
"Lex. Did you hear me?"
Regaining his breath, he uncovered the phone. "Yeah, I heard you. That must have been horrible," Lex asked, trying to sound sympathetic.
"Horrible!? *You* made it horrible. *You* put those thoughts in Clark's head. Why the hell did you do that?!"
"Well, I had to get back at you for that article. Do you have any idea what I'm going to have to deal with?" Lex asked.
"Oh, you poor baby," Chloe said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "You know, you're gonna get off easy. All you have to deal with is your father's...deflated ego. I had to deal with Clark, Pete, Lana, oh, and did I mention, Mr. and Mrs. Kent?"
Lex started coughing. He'd had no idea Clark would take him so seriously.
"Yeah, that's right. All of em'. It was like some sort of freakin' intervention. And, you're lucky that Clark was able to keep Mr. Kent and Pete at bay, because they both thought that it was your fault. They wanted to kill you."
"What!?" Lex asked, angry that people would jump to such conclusions that he would try and seduce Chloe. Wait, he *was* trying to seduce Chloe.
"Uh huh. They were ready to rip your throat out," Chloe said, sounding as if that still wasn't such a bad idea.
"Hey, I had no idea that it would go that far," Lex said, "Believe me. It I had known, I would have gotten back at you some other way."
"Well, that's reassuring."
They both stayed silent for a minute. Chloe was catching her breath, and had seemed to get everything off her chest before...
"Hey, Lex, one question," Chloe pretty much demanded.
"What question would that be?" Lex asked, skeptically.
"Well, after everything had settled down, and I convinced them that you were only misinterpreting my attempts at a friendship, Clark told me something else."
"Interesting. And what else did wonderboy tell you?" Lex asked, suddenly filled with that familiar dread.
"He said you questioned my and Clark's friendship," Chloe said, causing Lex's heart to quicken. What else did Clark tell her.
"I was merely curious as to how he felt for you," Lex answered, hey, it wasn't a lie.
"Merely curious? Really? Because I kinda drilled him alittle bit more after he told me that, and I found out some other stuff, too. Like, oh, for instance, that you said I'm attractive, and smart..." her voice sounded as if she was flattered, which allowed Lex to somewhat relax.
"I might have said that," Lex said evasively, "Our conversation's slightly fuzzy."
"Well, let's see if I can't refresh your memory," Chloe persuaded, "How about, you being worried about me?"
"I was."
"You were?" Chloe questioned, apparently she'd thought that was a lie, as well.
"I'd just read that article-apology-thing you wrote, and I was worried my Father had done something to you."
"Oh..."
"Is that all?" Lex hoped.
"Oh, yeah, I guess," she'd obviously not gotten the response she'd been expecting. Lex, on the other hand, was extremely relieved. At least Clark had kept his little...'suspicion' to himself.
"So, I guess I'll see you Saturday?" Lex asked.
"Yep," Chloe answered, almost cheerful, "but I hope you know that you're not getting off that easily."
"I'm well aware of that," Lex said, "Goodnight, Chloe."
"Night..." If this was how their conversations would end after every fight, then he'd have to piss her off more often.
After she hung up, Lex stood, and began to make his way back towards his intended destination, or, at least one of them.
***
ok, not sure if anybody understood that intended destination thing. but, see, it means that the kitchen was, obviously, one of them, because he was hungry. And, then, Chloe was another one. Ok, i should probably just delete it, but i'm not. sorry. ok, shuttin up. i really have to do something about my rambling. any ideas?
ok, next chapter will be up...i'm not gonna say when. because it's never on the day i say. it's usually sooner. So, let's just say, soon.
reviews are lovely(hint, hint), especially your guys'(beaming). bye all(waving)
