Chapter Five
Chloe quickly walked down the large hall to where the butler said she would find Lex. She had finally found a way to complete her assignment. She had gotten herself into a big mess with Lionel, Lex's father, on purposes so now she was on her way to see Lex to tell him she needed his help. If he helps her, there would have been no need for her and Gabe to be watching Lex, instead Lionel.
Chloe turned into one of the rooms and saw Lex sitting at his desk typing on his computer. "Mr. Luther, I don't mean to bug you. But I need your help."
Lex looked up as he heard the scarce in her voice. He stood up and walked over to her. "What's going on Miss Sullivan?"
Chloe still wasn't use to being call 'Miss Sullivan'. She just wished he would call her Chloe like most other people. "I'm in trouble."
"What kind of trouble are you in exactly?" He asked with concern.
"I made a deal. And I tried to back out of it. He won't let me." Chloe spoke fast.
"Whoa, slow down. Deal? With who?" Lex said as he put his hands on her shoulders.
Chloe took a deep breath and then let it out. "Your father. I made a deal with him. If I gave him all the information I got on Clark, then he'd get me an intern at the Planet."
"Clark? Why did you bring Clark into this?" He asked angrily.
Chloe took a step back. "I was mad at Clark. Then your father showed up and I took the deal. But I tried to back out on him, and he threatened me."
"Miss Sullivan, he's not going to do anything." Lex put his right hand on her shoulder again.
"It's Chloe! And how do you know?" She yelled. "It's not like you have a great relationship with your father. How do you know?" She looked at him and tears started to cover her vision. 'How can I do this to him?' She asked herself as she saw a little bit of pain show through his face. 'I can't do this to him.' She took another step back out of his arms length and turned to run away.
Lex saw her start to cry and when she turned to run, he grabbed her, turned her around, and pulled her close. "I'll protect you Chloe!" He whispered in her ear. "I'll protect you."
Chloe just stood there in his arms crying. 'It's too late!' She told herself. 'I have no choice now.' She closed her eyes. 'I have to go through with this."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When Chloe had finally leaned back to look up at Lex, he leaned down and kissed her. She kissed him back, but pulled away. She turned and ran out. Now she sat here in the back of the Talon with her face in her hands. 'What am I doing?' She asked herself. 'I can't be in love with him.' She closed her eyes. 'I'm undercover! I'm not supposed to fall in love with him. I can loose my job over this.' A thought finally came to her mind. 'Gabe can't find out. He'll never forgive me. I'll be kick out of New York and they'll tell me to never look back or I'll be killed.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lex sat in his car out side of the Talon. 'Why did I kiss her?' He looked over at Chloe's car parked next to his. 'She did kiss you back!' Something in his head said. He ran a hand over his face. 'And you love her, so go in and talk to her.' He closed his eyes. "Luther's can't love." He mumbled out loud. 'But you love her.' He looked through the glass of the front door of the Talon and saw Chloe in the very back. 'So go tell her.' Lex opened his car door and stepped out of the Porsche. He slowly made his way to the Talon door and walked toward Chloe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'You love him. But your not suppose to. Just tell him the truth and hope he understands.' Chloe told herself.
"Chloe!" Lex said her name.
Chloe quickly looked up from her hands. "Lex?"
Lex took a seat across from her. "I'm sor..."
"Don't be!" She interrupted him.
"Please Chloe, let me finish." Chloe sat there and stared at him. "I'm sorry if I offended you Chloe. I shouldn't have kissed you, but I couldn't help it." Lex had been staring at Chloe's coffee and took this second to decide to look up. "It's just that..." He paused. "Lately I've found it really hard to not be thinking of you. I don't want to loose you, even by my father. I love you Chloe." He leaned forward and softly touched her hand.
Chloe almost shudder at the touch. She slowly intertwined her fingers with his. Lex gently kissed one of her knuckles. She closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them, she looked up into Lex grayish ones. "I'm just so scared Lex." She didn't completely lye. She just didn't say what she was scared of.
Lex stood up and sat next to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her shoulders. "You don't have to be anymore Chloe. Never again! I'll protect you." He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. "I'll always be here."
