"More Time"---by StormKait
Chapter 2
I could feel my face turning a hundred shades of red. What did he mean by that?!
"You're different, Chloe. You're from the city, like I am. We can't wait to get out of Smallville, but people like Clark. he will probably never leave. Country life suits people like Lana and him, which is why they're attracted to each other. But you, Chloe. you need so much more than that."
I thought about that for a minute. Lex was right. I do need more than Clark. I can do better than him!! I need a guy who sees me for who I am, and doesn't care that I'm not a size-four fairy princess.
"Do I, Lex? Because if I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to say something you didn't have the guts to actually come right out and say." Whoa. Where the fuck did that come from?! I'm never this forward with anyone, and especially not Lex Luthor!
He didn't seem to mind, though.
"Now who's Miss Cleo, Chloe?" He laughed at his joke, but I didn't.
People have always told me I'm very intuitive, and I pick up on things very easily. I just wish that I hadn't told Lex that I saw right through him. Did he see right through me too, with those beautiful, knowing eyes of his?
Probably.
As we neared my house, I saw my dad getting out of the car in the driveway. Shit! What was he going to think if Lex brought me home?! (Chloe, stop overreacting. He'll just think what it is: your car broke down and Lex was nice enough to offer you a ride home. There was no reason for him to think anything was going on. Because nothing was. Going on, I mean.)
When my dad didn't notice the Jaguar and walked right into the house, my heart leapt. Was Lex going to say something before I got out of the car? Or was he going to be Luthor Cool, as I like to think, and pretend like nothing ever happened?
I opened the door, and as I was getting up, Lex pulled on my arm.
"Chloe." I knew it was a command not to leave, not yet.
"Lex." I mimicked his tone, and he smiled.
"Let Clark have Lana. His future is written in the stars, and he won't bother to change them by himself." He paused. "I, on the other hand, don't leave anything to fate."
I sat back down in my seat, waiting to see if he was going to say more. "Yeah," I said. "Fate's for people who can't make up their minds about what they want. And you?"
"I know exactly what I want."
He leaned over and kissed me.
