*AN : I'm going back and editing the AN at the bottom of the last chapter.
I had intended one line to read "I like Chlionel...it's so freaky it
works." but it was typed as "I'm like Chlionel...it's so freaky it works.".
Now, while it truly does work both ways (lol), I just wanted to clear that
up. Sorry for the mix up. Rest of my rambling is at the bottom.
Chapter Five: Pandora's Box (Chloe/Part Two)
0o0o0o0o Starbucks 9:21 AM 0o0o0o
Chloe taped her fingers along the rim of her oversized coffee mug. The school year was over but she could not stay away from the school paper. Chloe had gone from being editor and only writer at the Torch to a minor gossip columnist at Metropolis high. The major reason behind her demotion was an article calling all but five of the school's football players and all of the cheerleaders, "idiots that move ahead of people with talent and intelligence because of their looks and parent's connections".
Not one of her more impressive pieces ever but also not wall of weird material.
Chloe had planned on deleting all of her fluff from the past couple weeks, until The Daily Planet called her back offering a research position in the business section of their paper. What they needed was five examples of her writing talent. Notes, drafts and people to confirm her writing was also needed, mainly for copy right reasons.
What she did not was to use was truly her shining article. At least it was when she wrote it. Lex had giving her two hours of on the record time to write what ever she wanted about him. It had also been five in the morning and they had just woken up.
In it were answers to questions some of the world's best journalists hand been asking him for years and never receiving an answer. She; Chloe Sullivan had not only obtained answers, but the truth.
But there was a problem, if she did show this piece to the Planet, she would, no doubt acquire the job but the down side was news would get back to Lex. No matter what how much it helped her, she would not use Lex to farther her career. She had treated him badly and if news got back to him, their was no way she felt herself able to face him. Certainly not when she still has very strong feelings for him. Lex and never given her permission to make their "talk" public and this was not the way or the time she wanted their relationship to become public news.
No, she would wait, find something equally as well covered and written.
Hitting the minimize box on the top of her screen she closed the window and opened yet another file. But something kept drawing her back, she could not help but pull up her very own insight into Lex's soul.
As she began to reread the article thoughts and images reentered her mind. The way he laughed, the way he kissed her, made her fell truly loved and beautiful. Their was a kindness and acceptance she only felt in his arms.
Chloe suddenly slammed the screen of her lab top down. Shaking her head of these thoughts. He was on Lionel's side now, her father had lost his job because of their game and now he had come back to retake his rightful place as heir of Luthor Corp. At least that was what every news paper said. The Lex she knew would never do that but had he changed?
But their was a more pressing matter; coffee. She had unknowingly been tapping the coffee mug with out taking a single sip. Being the mug to her lips she took a sip, this was not good coffee. The one thing besides Lex's love she left in Smallville was the Talon.
No coffee house chain could make that kind of coffee. The Talon was also the place where she met Lex. She needed to find a place like that in Metropolis.
'Lex, again. I really need to focus!' she thought, 'you only have a couple of hours before the interview and you have nothing, Chloe! OK, pull it together, you can do this. Really.'

Please Review!
Next update coming with in two days. They may or may not meet, I'm not sure how long I want to wait. Any plot ideas any of you have, I would love to hear! I'm always open to new ideas!
Scifichick774 : Sorry about the typo, I did start laughing very hard when I read your review, as I said, it really could go either way. As for Lionel's hair, I'm glad someone is interested! As I said before, their is a good reason behind it.
