Chapter 4: That Old Feeling
As soon as Chloe turned the corner she leaned against the cold brick wall. Her mind was telling her that what just happened was wrong. Why did she let it go as far as it did. However, her heart knew what it wanted, what she longed for. She tried to shake the feeling, arguing with herself that it's another one of his games. Still, the touch of his lips against hers, his hands once again caressing her body. She wanted to feel it all over again.
Chloe got into her car and drove towards home. Lana was sitting on the couch when Chloe entered the house.
"Hey, there's our investigative reporter. Bruce just left, he figured you'd be at the Talon."
"Oh. Well, um, when did he leave?" Chloe asked hoping it wasn't right after her.
"I would say about 10 minutes ago. He said you were acting strange. I do have to agree. You've haven't been yourself since you came back."
Lana stood up and made her way towards Chloe.
"Well Lana I was gone for 3 months. People change, I changed." Chloe retorted, taking a step back.
Chloe headed upstairs with Lana on her heels. In fact she followed her all the way into her bedroom, closing the door behind them.
"What now Lana?" Chloe was getting frustrated, even a bit annoyed.
"Chloe, I talked to Clark. We're both worried about you. First you come back with...Bruce Wayne for godsakes not even hinting to anybody you were even in a relationship. Then with Lex. Jesus Chloe, I know I'm the only one who knows what happened between you two but.." Lana was pushing towards a subject were Chloe didn't want to go.
"LANA ENOUGH. I'm sorry that I didn't put a newsletter out about my newly found romance. I wanted it kept a secret. I don't know maybe I was still a little shocked that for once I got the guy. Especially one who opens up and tells me the truth. That's more than I can say for what Smallville has." She turned around and layed her sack on her chair.
"I..I'm sorry. You've just been tense." Lana backed down not wanting to unleash the inner demon that sometimes seemed to posses her friend.
Chloe took in a deep breath and sighed loudly. "It's ok Lana. I'm just really on edge lately. I don't know why. Coming back here, things are just different. It was simpler back in Metropolis when it was just Bruce and I."
"Yeah, well life get's tougher Chloe. So does the choices that come along with it. I'm always nextdoor literally if you need me." Lana smiled trying to set the room at ease. "By the way, where did you go just now? I mean earlier this morning when you left?"
Chloe plopped down on her bed and removed her shoes. "Why? Who's asking. You or Bruce?"
"Me, I am. The reason I ask is because...well, Clark saw you with Lex." Lana didn't really want to say anything but her curiousity got the best of her.
Chloe panicked, she tried to lie, "Well, I was going to the Talon,
when I bumped into him. I just wanted a cup of coffee. Besides Clark needs to mind his own fucking business."
Lana's eyes widened. Chloe never spoke like that unless she was trying to hide something or deny it. "Chloe, I may be crossing the line a bit here, but....are you still in love with Lex?"
Chloe froze at the words. When she opened her mouth to speak her words came out all jumbled. "Lex, I..why....how..Jesus, Lana where did you pull that one from? Lex and I are done, over. He didn't want to give us a chance so he lost anything we would've had a last year. Nothings going to change that."
Lana didn't say a word. She knew that Chloe was battling her own thoughts in her head. She knew that Chloe would always love Lex, and for that Lana was jealous. A love like they had would only come along once in a lifetime. Lana turned and walked out leaving Chloe to ponder her own thoughts.
==================
Bruce entered the Talon skimming the crowd for the petite blonde who had left him so abrubtly this morning. When he didn't see her, he headed towards the counter to pick up two hot caffinated beverages.
"Bruce, what a highly unpleasant surprise." The man in the corner stood up and headed towards his direction.
"Well, if it isn't Luthor himself. I liked your little amnesia you had there when you first saw me." Bruce replied with a little aggrevation in his voice.
Lex chuckled breifly. "I don't associate myself with my father's business associates. Least of all the ones I don't like."
"Aw, come on Lex, we both know why you don't like me." Wayne seemed all too persistant.
"And why is that Wayne?" Lex replied cocking his head to the left.
"I got the girl. Or should I say I took your girl." Bruce turned to face him. "I knew what she left in Smallville. I knew you two had something going on, but I made her forget about it. I made her forget about you."
Lex kept every nail biting attempt to deck him, inside. He leaned closer to him and in a soft angry whisper, "She may be with you in mind, but know one thing. Her heart has and will always belong to me. You have no chance in claiming that Bruce."
Not liking the response he got, Bruce grabbed the two coffee's and headed for the door, stopping to say one more thing. "I believe your wrong. I won this game Mr. Luthor. It's over for you."
Lex watched Bruce walk out of the Talon. He couldn't help but smirk. 'Think all you want Wayne. You may have won this round, but the game has just begun'
