Disclaimer: I don't own SMALLVILLE, nor the money to even consider it. But I would really like both things. :)
Author's Note: This is a sequel to my ficlet "Just A Waste of Time". thanx to Tandy who told me to write one. I was considering it anyway, so here it is. Hope you all like it!
Summary: After Chloe decided to finally get Clark out of her life, the last thing she'd expected was another chance at love. with the person she'd least expected. *Sequel to "Just A Waste of Time"* (Chlex).
Chapter 1
"Want a ride home?"
His words echoed in my ears. Lex wanted to give me a ride home. That's not so unusual, right? I mean, my car's broken down, and he's here. He's noticed that I've had a bad day, and is just being a friend, right? Or maybe, being a Luthor, he has an ulterior motive?
Stop overanalyzing, Chloe. You'll give yourself a headache.
"Chloe?" Just the way he said my name made me blush. "Need a ride?" he repeated.
"Yeah, sure. It doesn't look like my car is going anywhere anytime soon," I told him. He smirked.
"You're right. Hop in," he said, and so I did.
Lex seemed so casual, so nonchalant about the whole thing. I'd never seen him like this. He's always so business-like, always dressed in Armani suits, and his cell phone glued to his face. But he seemed to have let his guard down for some reason.
"Are you sure you're okay? I mean, you and Clark have been friends for a while. Are you sure you want to end the friendship just because he doesn't look at you the way he looks at Lana?"
The nerve of him!!! To think that was the only reason I did it! (Which, it was, so his assumption wasn't wrong. But still. to come right out and say it?!)
"I'm fine, really. But why do you care so much?" Lex was getting irritating.
"Clark's my friend, but I consider you my friend, too. And I don't want you to feel bad about what you did. If he can't see what a beautiful young woman you are, then he doesn't deserve you." I could tell that as soon as those words left his lips, he regretted saying them.
"Chloe, I-"
"Don't say anything, Lex. I know you're just trying to make me feel better." I hoped that's not all he meant by it, but I highly doubt he meant anything else than what he said. Shit! I'm overanalyzing things. Again.
"Do you?" He grinned.
