Chapter three: Blonde Monster

After school

Clark approached the Torch office, holding a steaming cup of coffee in his hands. Knocking softly he heard the sound of furious typing coming from it.

Sighing he reached for the door when a voice rang out.

"Hey Clark!"

Turning around surprised he saw Lex coming over.

"Uh, hey Lex. I thought I was meeting you over at the mansion later."

"Yeah I know, but I've got to go to Metropolis later tonight. So I gotta cancel."

"Uh, ok."

Lex noticed the cup in Clark's hand and raised an eyebrow.

"You drink coffee? Around here? Near that thing?"

"Hey! She's not a thing. She's a girl. And her name is Chloe."

"No, she's a blonde monster! Stealing my coffee and forcing me to go through 3 meetings without the pick-me-up. How torturous is that!"

Clark laughed. After a second he handed over the coffee in his hand.

"Here Lex, have this."

"Thanks."

The billionaire gulped half of it down.

"Ah, that hits the spot. Sometimes I regret some of my decisions. One of them is closing the Talon down for a week. I think that Chloe is going to mug me for coffee every morning. Guess I should start to bring two cups if I want mine eh?"

Clark grinned until he heard the typing stop.

"Uh-oh."

"What?"

Lex asked curious as to why Clark suddenly looked a little frightened. The door flew open, revealing a disheveled blonde reporter.

"COFFEE!"

"Ahh!"
