"More Time"---by StormKait
Chapter 5
Okay. I still feel awful. Even though I know that Clark is still Clark, I'm still me, and Lana is still Lana, I can't help but feel bad because for some reason unbeknownst to me, Clark still has feelings for me. Or at least I think he does.
Whoops.
But it's too late for that now, though, right? I mean, I'm happy because Lex Luthor, of all people, made a move. Clark, Mr. Hesitant, was too wussy to do anything about his feelings, whether it was with Lana or me. (Lana had to initiate the flirting, because Clark is too much of a dork to do it himself!!) I know it's wrong for me to be dissing my friend like this, if that's even what we still are, but it's a good way for me to keep things in perspective.
Yeah. Me? Keep things in perspective? Ha.
~*~*~*~
Lex and I are going to the movies tonight. I think we're going to go see "Anger Management." After Lex's little interlude with that Dr. Bryce bitch, he told me he needed to laugh at people with anger management issues. Because he could never do it while in front of his ex!
Lana was doing my hair when the phone rang. I picked it up.
"Hello?" Neither Lana nor I were expecting any calls.
"Chloe?" Well, it wasn't Lex. I can tell you that much.
"Uh, yeah. Clark?"
"Chloe, I need to talk to you." He was pleading. I could sense it in his voice.
"Listen, Clark. Lana's in the process of doing my hair for my *date* with *Lex.* So make it quick, okay?" I emphasized the fact that I was with Lex now. As much as I still liked him, I knew that it would never work. I just knew, from previous experience, that I'd always be second best to Lana. No matter what.
"Chloe, listen to me. When I saw you and Lex yesterday." he paused, as if unsure what to say next. "When I saw you two, I realized what I was missing. That I was missing you."
"Clark, I-" But he cut me off. "I still want us to be friends, Chloe."
Friends.
"Clark, I have to go." And I hung up.
I don't know what my problem is. I mean, I'm with Lex now. It's practically like this official thing, even though he's trying to hide from the general public that he is dating a high-schooler. (But, hey, it worked for Elvis, and no one had a problem with that!!)
I like Lex a lot. Like, really. A LOT. He's a very complicated guy, but I would rather have someone as complicated as Lex than someone as simple as Clark. Lex is just. well, Lex. Sexy, gorgeous. and, bald (but nobody's perfect!) He listens to me when I talk, something Clark hasn't done for over a year. His life revolves around Lana, while Lex's revolves around his work. I don't mind being second to a career, but second to another girl? I would say I have my priorities straight. So I guess I'm saying that if I was asked to choose between Lex and Clark (which I hope I never have to do, regardless of my feelings or lack thereof for one of them), I would choose Lex hands down. He's a man, and Clark's just a guy.
Like Lloyd's friend Corey tells him in the 1989 teen classic "Say Anything.": "The world is full of guys. be a man."
And Lex is a man.
My man.
~*Fin*~
Author's Note: So, what did y'all think of it??? I know it ended kinda abruptly, but I thought it would be too dragged out and get off-topic if I kept writing. I'm not gonna do another sequel. it's time for another Chlex plotline!! (I'm thinking a wedding story flashback?) Stay tuned!!
