Chapter 3
He kissed me.
Lex Luthor was kissing me!!!! But good things, I've learned, hardly ever last as long as you want them to.
Our tongues were dancing one minute, and the next I heard a knock on my window. I looked up, praying to God it wasn't my dad.
It wasn't, but it still wasn't much better.
"Uh, Lex, um. Lana's kinda at my window," I told him, pulling away from the kiss.
"Sorry, Chloe, I didn't know you swung that way," he joked, making a bad reference to Melissa Ethridge.
I rolled my eyes at him, and rolled down the window. "Oh, hi, Lana. Back from work early?" I asked innocently. But I knew she had seen the whole thing, or at least the more interesting parts, so the question was pointless.
"Yeah. Sorry to interrupt, but you guys are kind of blocking the driveway," she said, blushing. If she was blushing, I must be bright red!!
"Sorry, Lana," Lex spoke up. "I have to get back to work anyway."
As I got out of the car, Lex handed me his card. I flipped it over and saw that he had written his personal line. "Call me later?" he asked.
"Okay," I said, and he was gone.
Just like that.
I shook my head. "I'm dreaming, right?" I asked Lana.
She giggled. "No, Chloe, you aren't. I saw it too." She had a goofy grin on her face, and I could tell that I did, too.
~*~*~*~ I couldn't fall asleep that night.
I kept replaying the scene in Lex's car over and over in my head, and I just couldn't get over the fact that Lex Luthor, Kansas's Most Eligible Bachelor, had kissed me, Chloe Sullivan, Smallville's Most Eligible Basketcase!!
God, if Clark ever found out.
Hold on, why would I care if Clark found out?! I don't give a shit about him anymore!! He's happy and content with his raven-haired beauty, so why would he care if I were making out with his best friend? (Okay, I know that that was total hypocrisy on my part because even though I don't like Clark anymore, if I saw him kissing Lana I think I would shoot myself.)
I want Clark to find out. I want him to know about me and Lex really bad.
I dialed Lex's private line.
"Chloe?" he asked. He didn't even bother to say hi! Then I remembered that he was a Luthor, and Luthors don't do things the way normal people do. If a normal 22-year-old had kissed me, I would have been jailbait. But something tells me that Lex doesn't have to worry about stuff like that.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" I retorted. Dumb question, I know, but it was midnight and therefore too late to play verbal judo.
"Uh, this is the twentieth century, Miss Sulli-I mean Chloe. It's called caller ID."
I laughed. "It's midnight, Lex. I'm a little tired, ya know. But I just can't sleep." God, why did I just tell him that?!
To my surprise, though, he wasn't taken aback. In fact, *I* was by his answer. "I couldn't either." The way he said it. I knew he couldn't sleep for the reason I couldn't, even though he didn't exactly say it. "I was just thinking about Clark." Okay, now *that* was something I wasn't expecting.
"What-why are you thinking about Clark?" I was trying to hold back my giggles.
"No, I wasn't thinking about him like that! God, Sullivan, where do you get your ideas? I was actually thinking about how he would feel if he knew you and I." and he trailed off.
"I was thinking about that, too. But I think he'd be okay with it, though. He made it very clear that we were strictly friends." When I said it, I could feel that familiar wave of grief wash over me. I guess I'm not completely over him.
"I've seen the way he looks at you, even if you pretend not to notice. There's something there Chloe, though you think there isn't. I don't want to interfere if something is going to happen between you two."
"You wouldn't, Lex. I don't like him anymore. Don't worry." I added that last part hesitantly, because I wasn't exactly sure what the deal was between me and Lex.
"I wasn't. Because I could have someone pound his ass if he came near my girl." He said it seriously, but I couldn't help laughing. Even though he called me "his girl," there was still something hilarious to be found in Lex saying he'd have his "hit man" kick his best friend's ass!!
"Hey Lex?" I really wanted to ask him this now, after what he'd said about Clark. "Um, do you think we could, you know, show Clark what he's been missing?" I wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but oh well. too late now!
"My, Chloe! I didn't think you were one for public displays of affection!" He laughed. "Sure, why not. I'd love to see Clark's face! The guy deserves it if he's too dumb to realize what he's lost. I wasn't taking that chance."
What does a girl say to that?!
Probably not something like this: "That's really sweet, Lex. As much as I'd love to continue this wonderful conversation, I'm-(yawn)-really tired so, uh, either come by my office tomorrow or I'll meet you at the Talon after school. Okay?"
Yeah, that's what I said. How stupid am I?!
"Okay, Chloe. Yeah, I'm tired too. I'll be at the Torch by eleven, if my meeting gets out on time. See you."
CLICK.
TBC
So. what did y'all think?? Too mushy, not enough substance? Oh well, it's my first chance to write again and I've been having a pretty crappy week, so this chapter is me living vicariously through Chloe. Oh!! And how about last night's episode ("Accelerate")? I thought it was seriously nauseating. not to mention the fact that they used "I'm With You" (one of my Chlex stories!!!) for a Clark and Lana moment!! OK, well enough of my ranting. I'll try to get another chapter up soon and reviews are greatly appreciated!! ~*K*~
