Chloe got into her car and waved goodbye to the limo driver. She still couldn't believe what had happened the night before, but she couldn't stop smiling from it. As Chloe turned the engine on, Chloe jumped due to something banging on her window. She spun around to see Clark standing there with his wide smile on his face.
"Hey Clark… you really know how to scare a girl don't you?" Chloe said as she was rolling down her window.
"Oh sorry, but I really needed to talk to you about something." Clark stood back as Chloe got out of her and locked the door.
"Why don't we go into the Talon and talk, whatever you need to say must be important. You never have your hands in your pocket unless you're nervous." Chloe walked into the Talon but stopped as she saw the booth where her and Lex first started to talk the night before.
"Chloe, are you alright? Here, let's sit at this table."
Chloe sat down and ordered her usual. Something was different in the Talon today though… Lana wasn't working.
"So Chloe, this thing I wanted to talk to you about, it is kinda hard to say so I will just say it. I was wondering, hoping, actually praying that you would say yes." Clark sat there with a gleam of hope in his eyes.
"Umm Clark… how can I saw yes to something when you haven't asked me anything yet?" Chloe's stomach was starting to turn, she had a feeling that this 'something' was going to have to do with the upcoming dance at their school.
"Oh yea." He said with a light laugh, "sorry. Would you like to… go to the dance with me?" 'Great that sounded so stupid, what grade are you in Clark? You said it like you were 5 and asking her to be your girlfriend.' Clark thought to himself.
'I knew it! Crap… ok let him down gently, he can always go with Lana right?' "Umm Clark, what about Lana? I thought you would be asking her, since ya know… you were dating her last week."
"That's just it! Ever since we broke up, things have been sort of weird, I think it would better if I took a friend… you!"
"I don't know Clark. Dances aren't really our thing. Last time we went to a dance you ended up leaving me for Lana." Chloe saw the pain in Clark's face when she said the last sentence. She knew Clark was sorry for that, but something just told her she shouldn't go with him.
"Chloe, I am sorry for that I told you a million times…" Clark's sentence faded off and Chloe looked over her shoulder to where Clark's eyes were fixed. "Listen Chloe, think about it and get back to me," Clark muttered as she walked over to Lana to say hi to her, "bye."
"No Clark. My Answer is NO!" Chloe yelled as she got up from the table and walked outside. The Talon customers, including Clark and Lana, just looked at the door then went on drinking their coffees.
Chloe got into her car and locked the door. Just as she was about to pull out of the parking lot, something banged against her window again. She rolled her window down looking in the opposite direction and yelled, "Fuck Clark I said my answer was no. Leave me alone!" Chloe turned her head to see a shocked Lex standing there.
"Sorry to bother you Miss. Sullivan. Won't make that mistake again." Lex turned on his heel to walk away. Chloe quickly got out of her car and went after him.
"LEX! LEX! I'm so sorry I thought you were Clark. He asked me something then totally ditched me for Miss. Lang… again! I didn't mean to yell at you. I am really sorry." Chloe's face was filled with regret to yelling at Lex.
"It's ok I understand. Clark can be annoyingly persistent at times. You want to go back to my place and talk about it?" A smirk grew on Lex's face and Chloe could tell that he was winking on the inside. "You can confide in me you know Chloe…"
