Chapter 10: And the answer is..
Chloe still didn't know what she wanted. She loved two men and wanted them both in her life. However one had left her and the other seemed to be unavailable at most times. Friday night approached and she stayed in regardless of Lana pleading with her to go out. In her pajama's she put in one of her old time favorite movies, Gone with the Wind. Sure she was a hopeless romantic but nobody ever knew that. Her choice of movie reflected on how she was feeling. She remembered when she was little and watched it with her mother. Chloe had always wanted to be Scarlet, with her dresses and the beauty she portrayed. Her life was so very different and far from any movie life. She didn't know how it became so complicated. Every choice she made was going to be hard from here on out. She hadn't received any calls from Bruce. He truly had given up on her, but she wasn't sure if she has given up on him. She still had these harboring feelings for him and they weren't going away that easily. Then there was Lex Luthor. The man she had always wanted always loved. The feelings for him had never left. She just tried to hide them and cover it up. The night she had spent with him only a few days ago had uncovered her feelings and now she was confused. So with her bowl of popcorn and her can of Pepsi, she sat, watching her movie wishing she were far away from the life that has become her.
*ring ring ring*
The loud noise of the phone awoke Chloe from her sleep. She reached over from the couch to the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Chloe, it's me. Can you come pick me up, it seems as if I have a flat and I don't exactly know how to change it."
"Lana? Isn't Clark with you? Have him change it."
"He left about an hour ago. He said he had some urgent business to take care of. Please?"
"Nobody at the party can do it for you?"
"I actually stopped at the Talon. I had to check on some things."
Chloe sighed, "Fine. Give me ten minutes."
She hung up and arose from the couch making her way upstairs to throw some sweats on. 'I have to remind myself next movie night, take the phone off the hook.'
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Chloe pulled up to the Talon. It was dark and she couldn't see Lana's jeep anywhere. 'Maybe it's in the back' she thought to herself. She opened up the front door and entered to find nobody inside.
"Hello? Anybody here? Lana?"
She stepped in a bit further to find candles set all around, and in the center a table with a vase of white and red roses on a table with more candles.
"What in the hell? HELLO?" she yelled a bit louder. As she approached the table she found a note and began to read it.
Chloe,
The things that I have done in the past are unforgivable. I hurt you more than I ever wanted and I know that when I lost you a part of me was lost as well. Now that you came back and I have another chance I don't want to lose you again. I hope that in time you will learn to forgive me. I want to start making up for the months that we have lost starting with tonight. I never believed in the concept of true love until it was gone. Now I know that you are my missing half and that when I'm with you, you complete me. I am no longer empty. I love you with every breath I take.
Always yours,
Lex
Chloe was in awe. A tear graced her cheek once again as she folded the note and picked up a white rose to take in the scent. He went all out this time and the note confessing his feelings was something that had meant so much to her.
He walked up behind her and softly touched both of her arms with his hands, startling her. He turned her around until their eyes were locked. No words were spoken, they weren't needed.
He took his left hand and cupped her face. He pulled her into a kiss, and then pulled away making sure it was ok for him to do so. When she didn't back away he once again took her to his mouth. Their lips touching he wetted her bottom lip with his tongue wanting entrance to her mouth. She parted her lips and welcomed his tongue with hers. Massaging her tongue with his, he wrapped his arms around her waste never wanting to let go of this moment.
Lana peered through the window and smiled before taking off for home. She'll remind Chloe to thank her later.
