Chapter 3:

Two months latter:

Chloe walked into her little coffee shop and smiled. There was a banner draped across the ceiling that read 'Happy Birthday Chloe!' Balloons penned up all over the walls, purple and black; her favorite colors. A tall blonde man walked up to her and embraced her.

Glücklicher Geburtstag Chloe! (Happy birthday Chloe!) He said in German.

Haben Sie diesen Kylal gemacht? (Did you do this Kylal?) She laughed a little and motioned to the shop.

Selbstverständlich! (Of course!) He smiled. Irgendetwas für meinen Chloe! (Anything for my Chloe!)

Chloe laughed again. She smiled, hugged him, and kissed his cheek. Vielen Dank! (Thank you!) She pulled away and the stepped further into the coffee shop.

Ich habe Dick, Bruce, und Alfred eingeladen. Aber Bruce hat gesagt, daß er spät sein wollte, weil er ein Geschenk für Sie aufhob. (I invited Dick, Bruce, and Alfred. But Bruce said he was going to be late because he was picking up a gift for you.)

Chloe smiled and hugged Dick then hugged Alfred. "Thank you guys for coming." She looked around the room at all the familiar faces. Her smile weekend slightly when she didn't see the one person she really hoped would be there.

"What's wrong Chlo?" Dick asked as he noticed.

"Nothing!" She said and just moved on to greet the rest of her guests.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chloe sat at one of the tables talking with Kylal. She had wanted so much to see Lex here, but she knew he was probably too busy with his corporation to do so. She just smiled as her friend kept telling her about his tripped to San Francisco and all the things he learned about 'people like him'.

Es's nichts mag Deutschland! Jeder dort das's Schwul, tatsächlich zeigt es. Ich habe gefühlt, wie ich in dort passe. (It's nothing like Germany! Everyone there that's gay, actually show it. I felt like I fit in there.) He said as his smile grew.

Den doesn't Mittel Sie'betr. verlassend mich und macht Bewegen dort es? (That doesn't mean you're leaving me and moving there does it?) Chloe's laughed at the thought.

Als viel, als ich es dort, ich don geliebt habe't denkt ich'd kann verlassen meine Freunde hier hinter. (As much as I loved it there, I don't think I'd be able to leave my friends here behind.) He chuckled and looked up as he saw someone walk into the shop.

Chloe saw as he took his gaze from her and looked beyond her. She slowly turned around to see what he was staring at. Mein Gott, jener Mann ist heiß. (My god, that man is hot.) Chloe lost her breath as she realized who he was staring at.

From the moment she saw the man in Bruce's office she couldn't stop thinking about him, even after he left to go back home to Metropolis. From the moment she realized he wasn't at the party when she got here, she just hoped he would come. And now, here he was casually walking toward her and Kylal. She still couldn't catch her breath. Then he stopped right in front of her. "L... Lex?"

"Hey Chloe, happy birthday!" He leaned down and kissed her cheek. When he stood back up he looked across from her at Kylal. "Hi, Lex Luther!" He put his hand out to Kylal.

Kylal smiled and shook his hand. Kylal Grinsen! Sehr erfreut, Sie zu treffen! (Kylal Smirk! Very pleased to meet you!)

Chloe looked from Lex to Kylal, then back to Lex. Lex had a questioning look on his face. "He said his name is Kylal Smirk and he's very please to meet you." Chloe smiled. "He's German."

Lex smiled and took the seat next to Chloe. "One language I thought I'd never really need to know. You have to teach me."

Chloe laughed. "It's one of the hardest languages to learn."

Chloe, ist er fröhlich oder gerade? (Chloe, is he gay or straight?) Kylal asked. Chloe laughed.

"What'd he say?" Lex asked confused at why she was laughing.

"He wants to know if you gay or straight!" Lex's confused face turned surprised.

"Straight!" He laughed a little when he realize Kylal must be gay.

Chloe smiled and turned to Kylal. Er sagt's er's gerade. Danken Sie Gott! Erbärmlich Kylal! (He say's he's straight. Thank god! Sorry Kylal!)

Kylal laughed. Mögen Sie diesen Burschen don't Sie? (You like this guy don't you?)

Chloe turned a light shade of pink. Vielleicht mache ich. Es's mag nicht er mag mich. (Maybe I do. It's not like he likes me.)

Kylal smiled and stood up. Sie kennen nie Chloe. Er könnte nur der Mann von Ihren Träumen sein. Verursacht, daß er trotzig zu meinen Träumen jede Zeit kommen kann. (You never know Chloe. He just might be the man of your dreams. Cause he can defiantly come to my dreams any time.)

Chloe laughed as Kylal walked away and went to talk to Dick who was across the room. She turned her attention back to Lex.

"What was that about?" He asked as he moved to where Kylal had just moved.

"Oh nothing!" She kept smiling. "So, what are you doing back here in Gotham?"

"Bruce called me yesterday and told me it was your birthday today, and that there was going to be a small party. So I just had to come and wish you a happy birthday in person." He smiled. "You don't mind do you?"

Chloe smiled. "Of course not."
