Chapter Six
Chloe sat in the Talon with a cup of coffee to her right, her cell phone to her left, and her laptop in front of her. She tried to keep her attention on her work for the Torch. But she just couldn't. It's been four months since her and Lex got together and she still hadn't told him the truth. She had been so into her thoughts that she didn't even hear the bell that hang over the entrance of the Talon, and someone walking up to her table.
"Hey baby!" She jumped and looked up to see a smiling Lex. "Are you okay?"
"Yah, I was just deep in thought!" Lex leaned down and kissed her. When he pulled away, he took the seat across from her.
He spoke as he took her hand. "What were you thinking about?"
Chloe looked down at their intertwined fingers and just smile. "Nothing important!" She looked up in to his eyes. "Wait! What are you doing here? You said you had a meeting in Metropolis!"
"My father called so we ended up having it over the phone." He slowly put his free hand to her face. "Are you sure you're alright? You look a little zoned out!"
"I just... I don't know!" She pulled her gaze away and looked out the window.
"Chlo, you can tell..." Just then her cell phone rang causing Chloe to jump a little. Lex looked down at it. "You better answer it."
Chloe quickly picked up her cell and pressed the green button. "Hello?"
Lex just sat there staring at her, wondering who was on the other line.
"Ky, this isn't the best time... I'll just call... No! Fine! Alright, bye!" Chloe pulled the phone away from her ear and stared at it after pressing the 'end' button.
"Who was that?" Chloe jumped and looked up and Lex.
"Oh, that was my cousin Kyle!"
"Is everything alright?" Lex had a worried look on his face.
"Yah, he just couldn't get a hold of my father!" She lied. "He had a few questions to ask him, that's all." Chloe started to gather her things. "I'm sorry Lex, I have to go to the Torch and do some work."
Lex stood up and helped her put her laptop back in its case and put his arm around her waist walking her out of the Talon and to her car. He opened the door for her and she dropped her stuff in the passenger seat, and then turned back to Lex.
"I'll stop by latter." She said as they both moved closer together.
Lex put his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer to him. "Around what time do you think?" He smiled down at her.
"How bout seven?" She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Sound great!" He leaned down and softly kissed her. But it quickly turned passionate and when the pulled away, they both breathed hard. "I'll see you tonight then." He said and kissed her quickly again.
Chloe reluctantly pulled away and got in her car. "I'll see you tonight then." She just smiled at him as he shut the door for her. She started the car and pulled out of her space. As she made her way to the school, she turned and grabbed her phone. Two rings and it was picked up on the other end. "Kyle, its Chloe!"
