[B]Chapter 6: Is this the end?[/B]

Bruce waited downstairs for Lex. He was still curious as to why Chloe's car was sitting in the driveway.

[I]'Why would Chloe be here of all places. I know how much she hates the man.'[/I]

He was getting nervous, pacing back and forth letting his mind get the best of him.

[B][I]In the study[/I][/B]

"Excuse me? What did you just say?" Chloe back away from Lex picking up her blouse.

"Look, I'm sorry ok. I didn't know if he told you or not so I didn't think I should." Lex moved towards her slowly.

"I can't believe it. You knew each other and didn't feel like I should know?" She turned to him. "You should have told me. How dare you!"

"It wasn't my place. You were with him. He should have been the one to fill you in. And save your breath. I'm sure Bruce would love to hear it." Lex was getting angry and started to walk towards the door to exit.

"Oh no you don't were not finished!" Chloe yelled, her cheeks redder than her shirt.

"Chloe, we've been finished for 12 months." He walked out leaving her standing there, hanging at his last words.

"Mr. Wayne. To what do I owe this unpleasant surprise?" Lex put on his fake smirkish grin and walked towards his direction.

"Well, Lex. First off what is Chloe's car doing in the driveway, and second we have matters to discuss." Bruce had a seriousness look about him. Pointing towards Chloe's car then back towards Lex.

Lex smiled at his actions, "Well, for starters that's something you need to take up with Chloe, and second what could we possibly have to discuss."

Chloe headed down the stairs with ease. She heard the two men in the hallway, so she tried to slip out through the kitchen. Unfortunately for her, she was caught.

"Chloe? What are you doing?" Bruce walked over to her and put his arm across her back.

"Me? Um, well I came here to talk to Lex about some things. Nothing really important." She looked up at him smiling. "There is however one thing I would like to know, darling," her voice now sounding sarcastic.

Bruce had a highly confused look on his face, and Lex couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"What in the hell are you doing here?" She replied loudly.

"I came to talk business with one of Smallville's finest. I heard he owned the highly talked about LexCorp, so I decided to stop by and have a few business chats with the man." He was such a liar. She knew it too.

"You know Bruce. I am so tired of this." Chloe shaking her head laid her hand upon her forehead and pointed towards Lex. "He told me Bruce. He told me everything. How can you just stand there and lie to me. What else have you been telling me that's not bullshit? God, I'm so done with this." She headed out the door and the last thing he heard was the screeching of her tires.

"I told you she'd find out," Lex was laughing now. "Now, what can I do for you Bruce?"

"Listen you son of a bitch, Chloe is mine. Stay away from her. She doesn't want you anymore." Bruce grabbed Lex by his shirt.

"Well, maybe you should have told her that before she came over," Lex retorted with a slight chuckle in his voice.

The next thing he knew, Lex was on the ground. Bruce had hit him pretty hard and tossed him aside like a doll.

[I]'This isn't over Wayne.'[/I]

[B][I]Sullivan household[/I][/B]

"Lana, I seriously don't know what to do." Chloe found herself in Lana's room lying on her bed while Lana sat at her desk going though some papers.

"Well, when it comes to men, you just have to follow your heart. You have to decide for yourself what you want. You can't just be with someone you don't love. You have to have the full experience Chloe." Lana smiled at her. "So, what do you want?"

Chloe glanced at Lana, "Well, honestly Lana, I want to be with.."

"Hey, can I grab Chloe for a minute," Bruce smiled opening the door.

Lana looked at Chloe with wide eyes. Chloe got up off the bed and followed Bruce into the next room.

"Bruce, I'm really tired right now, I don't feel like going through one of our sessions again," she sighed, as she sat down on her bed.

"Well then just listen to what I have to say. Look, Chlo I'm sorry ok. I didn't want to tell you that I knew Luthor because I felt it could have been awkward for you," he made his way closer to her.

"But, that's the thing Bruce, you never." he closed her mouth with his hand. "I said let me finish."

Chloe's eyes widened.[I] 'Who does he think he is' [/I] She shoved his hand away from her mouth and let him proceed.

After the conversation, and the yelling, Chloe found herself once again in front of the Luthor estate. Somehow when everything went bad she ended up here. Tears were still running down her face. The rain was coming down a little bit harder now, and it was getting colder. In one quick decision she got out of the car and ran up to the door.

Lex answered, "Chloe. What in the hell?" he put his arm around her and let her in. Taking her jacket he yelled at one of the servants to get a warm blanket. "What happened?"

"God, so much. I remember the yelling and the screaming. Then I just got into my car and started driving. Somehow I ended up here. Other than that I think my memory chose to forget the other parts. I didn't know where else to go. Lex, I'm sorry, maybe I should go." Chloe turned her back to him.

Lex twirled her around until she was mere inches apart, "Chloe stay." He embraced her and held her tight in his arms. "Everything will be ok. I promise you." He looked at her tear stained face and brushed her hair aside. Next thing she knew his lips were pressed against hers, once again feeling the warmth of his body next to hers.
