Chapter five: Happily ever after

Chloe did find some clean cloths. Peeling off her old dirty ones she couldn't help but smiled to herself. It was nice, this place was beautiful. Lex was an odd one though. She never blushed like this when she was around Clark.

Pulling on a soft white cashmere shirt on, Chloe grinned. Though she didn't know why Lex had these kinds of cloths, girl stuff. Maybe it was left over from the numerous relationships he's been in.

Or maybe he just has a fetish for girl cloths. Chloe thought with a grin as she left the safety of the guestroom.

Lex had been a little nervous. He didn't know why he hadn't taken 'Miss Sullivan' home. He glanced around the living room before he sat down on his couch. Reaching for a glass of scotch, Lex didn't see Chloe sneak up behind him.

"Hey Lex."

He almost jumped. But somehow he had been able to keep his cool and turn around to see Chloe dressed in a white long sleeved sweater and comfortable blue jeans. Her shoes were ruined, so now she was wearing a pair of white socks.

She looked so comfortable and at home here.

Chloe grinned. At Lex. If he wasn't careful he was going to show some emotion.

"Careful Luthor, you're face is going to crack"

Lex chuckled and sipped some of his drink while he watched Chloe sit in a chair near the couch. Tucking her legs underneath herself she smiled at him.

"So, are you going to tell me why you were out driving?"

Lex shook his head.

"Is that a no I take it?"

"Yeah."

Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Are you going to offer me some coffee?"

"Perhaps. If you ask politely."

Chloe sighed.

"Can I please have some hot coffee?"

Lex grinned and stood up.

"Sure, what do you want in it?"

"Two cubes of sugar and two packets of cream please."

Lex raised an eyebrow at her as he did as he was told. Handing her the cup of the steaming liquid Lex sat across from her.

"Thanks."

Lex shrugged it off. It was nothing. But Chloe was grateful anyways. Him giving her a ride, clean warm cloths. Coffee just toped it all off.

"So, are you going to tell me what happened?"

Chloe sipped her drink without saying anything to him. Trying to think of what she could even possibly say to this rich playboy whose been through everything. Whose experienced things that she would probably never ever in her entire life.

"No."

Lex pretended to pout.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want too."

"Not even me? Who rescued you from the rain and gave you warm cloths and coffee?"

Chloe laughed.

"Well, when you say it like that. I guess I might have too. Under one condition."

"What is it?"

"That I can ask you a question. Any question that I want."

Lex considered it silently as he swirled his drink in his hand.

"Oh alright. So, tell me what happened?"

Chloe was silent for a second before she took a gulp of her coffee.

"I was on my way home from working late at the torch. When I remembered something that I forgot to tell Clark."

Lex sensed her hesitation on continuing.

"Go on."

Chloe stared at her cup for a second. Thinking to herself. Trying to not dredge up the emotions she felt when she had seen them together.

"I went into the barn, heard them talking. Because I was being polite, I didn't want to interrupt them. But I had to talk to Clark. When I went up, I uh…"

"Yes?"

But Lex could already guess what the small blonde was going to say.

"They were kissing."

There, she said it. Plain and simple. Her face twisted with disgust. As she frowned, glaring now at her coffee.

"I'm sorry Chloe. I know you really liked Clark."

But really, he wasn't. Well, at least a part of him wasn't.

Finally, Chloe sighed and set her cup down on a side table near her.

"I was furious, at first. But now, its numbed. Sorta. I mean, I wanted to kill him. I ran to my car just as the rain started to pour down. I didn't know where I was going really. I just couldn't stay there. I couldn't go home, 'cause then my dad would want to talk. And I didn't want to say anything. I was afraid that I'd break down."

Lex was silent as she told him everything. Spilling her guts to this Luthor heir. It wasn't something she had ever planned on. Never in her wildest dreams. But somehow, it seemed right.

"You'd never break down Chloe. You're strong. Trust me

when I say that. Sides you deserve better than Clark. From what I understand Chloe, all he's ever done is hurt you."

Chloe nodded dumbly.

"I know, but I can't help myself. He makes me happy. Even after everything he's done. I still hold out hope that one day everything is going to be fine. And He's going to walk in through the Torch office door. With that big goofy smile of his. Sweep me up in his arms and…"

Chloe got this dreamy look on her face. Smiling insanely. Lex just shook his head. Wouldn't he be lucky if he ever met a girl like Chloe. One to keep him on his toes and smile like that every time she thought of him.

Sighing Chloe shrugged.

"But its not like that will ever happen. Not in my lifetime or the next. Ever. Not for plain, wacky old me."

Lex smirked.

"Chloe, that's not true. You're not plain. You're beautiful."

Why the heck did I say that? Lex thought as Chloe burst into one of her million watt smiles. He was glad that she was directing it at him.

"That's nice of you to say to me Lex. But we both know that its not true."

"Sides, you never know. A happy ever after can happen. Even for someone like you."

And me.
