Chapter seven: Black belts and Money
Another week later perhaps? Are they friends? Dun dun dun
Chloe sighed as she looked around, trying to spot someone familiar in the rush hour at the Talon. Clark was a no go. He was 'talking' with Lana. Or rather flirting so bad that it made Chloe gag.
Pete, well, he was out on another one o his dates with the girl of the week.
And, well, uh.
'Damn. Gotta get more friends.'
"Hey can I sit here?"
A silky voice interrupted the blonde's thoughts. Looking up she almost choked.
"Uh, hi Lex, sure. Its not like I won the place. You do."
Lex chuckled and took a seat.
The two sat here either looking at each other and trying not too, or drinking their own coffee.
"Lex.."
"Chloe.."
They both tried speaking at the same time. Chloe blushed.
"Go ahead Lex."
"No, you go."
"Oh ok. Um, well Lex, about the other night."
"Yeah I wanted to talk to you about that too."
"Well, you should understand just because that happened doesn't make us friends.
"Alright. I was going to say the same thing."
"uh…Hey guys."
" Clark! Come and grab a chair."
Clark gave the two a funny look. He didn't like what he had been hearing. From the way they were…
" Clark? You there?"
He quickly snapped out of it and blushed slightly at Chloe.
"Uh, yeah I was just wondering, if I should run while I'm up or should I duck before you hurl something at me."
Chloe laughed.
"Sit down. Nothing's going to happen."
'Yet'
Was the one word that they all thought while Clark sat across from them.
"So."
"So."
"So."
"Hey guys."
"Lana!"
'Thank god.'
"Can I get you anything?"
"Uh, nope. Got my coffee right here and its just the way I like it."
"No thanks Lana. I'm fine."
"Um, I'll have uh, root beer."
Lana nodded as she quickly wrote it down.
"Alright, I'll be right back in a minute."
With that the beautiful brunette left the small group in an awkward silence.
five minutes later
"I swear Clark! Nothing happened!"
"Uh-huh. Lex do you have anything to say?"
"Nothing comes to mind."
Clark sighed frustrated and ran a hand through his hair. A nervous habit he got from Lex. Minus the hair.
"Good. So, your car broke down?"
"yep."
"What happened to your cell phone?"
Lex almost blushed from embarrassment. He remembered throwing it against the pavement and it shattered. He didn't want them to know he had let his anger get the better of him.
"It was uh, unavailable at that time."
"Really?"
"Really, really."
Chloe giggled, but stopped when she got a stern look from Clark.
"Here you go!"
Lana place a tall glass of soda in front of Clark. She smiled shyly at him. Both Chloe and lex gave each other looks.
"Um, oh wow look at the time, I've got to be going now."
"Me too. See ya around Clark!"
Both of them got up and left the two love struck kids alone.
As soon as they had left the café both, lex and Chloe looked at each and then busted out laughing.
"Thank god for small favors eh?"
"And doe eyed brunettes."
Lex grinned as he glanced back to where they had left Clark and Lana.
"So, what do you want to do now?"
Lex asked Chloe as they walked away from the Talon.
"How about giving me your money. Now."
A gruff voice demanded as they passed an alleyway.
'Dammit!'
Lex cursed mentally as he looked over to see a gun barrel pointed at them. 'if its not one thing, its another.'
Chloe raised an eyebrow.
"And why would I do that, huh?"
"Because I'll blow your head off if you don't."
Lex started reaching for his wallet when he saw Chloe shake her head slightly.
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"No?
"Yes, NO!"
"Chloe are you insane?"
"No."
"Argh! Stop saying that!"
"No."
The guy looked confused, his eyes going back and forth between that two as they argued. Suddenly Chloe turned to the gunman, and did a quick drop kick right to the guy's, uh lower regions.
His eyes widened as he let out a whine and fell to the ground holding himself. Curling up slightly as Chloe straightened.
Lex stared at the blonde with wide eyes.
"What?"
She asked as she picked up the discarded gun, took the ammunition and threw it away.
"How did…?"
"I do that?"
Chloe laughed, her voice almost mocking as they walked away, leaving the poor b-d on the dirty ground.
"Please lex. You should know that any city girl knows how to fight."
"yeah but,"
"I'm a small town kid now? Ha! Hardly. I still know how to fight. I even have a black belt."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Wow…"
He glanced back where their would be robber laid. Boy was he extremely glad that Chloe hadn't done that to him.
Yet...
