My hands are shaking. I can barely turn the key in the ignition. It takes me a second to realize that the car isn't starting because I'm not holding in the clutch. I get the motor running and put it in gear but-parking brake, parking brake.
Chloe's made me forget how to drive. I can't believe this. I've never had a reaction to a woman like this before.
I kissed her. One innocent little kiss, then I left her in Clark's loft.
I jump at the knock on the window. She's standing there with the moonlight reflecting off her hair.
I get out of the car.
"What's going on?" I ask her.
"Did you mean all of that?"
"Mean what?"
She reaches out and starts to toy with one of the buttons on my coat, "What you said. How you feel about me. And how long-did you mean all that?"
"I don't say things I don't mean."
She smiles up at me, "Of course not. You're a Luthor."
"That's right," I still her hands, trapping them under my own hands against my chest.
"And when you kissed me?"
"What about it?"
"Why did you only do it once?" Well, I didn't expect that.
I laugh out loud and she looks up in
surprise.
"I'm not trying to be funny Lex," she almost looks
hurt.
"I know you're not. I didn't want to scare you away Chloe. And I don't want to rush into anything."
"I think this would be a good pace," she says softly, leaning up on her toes and kissing me.
I release her hands and pull her against me, leaning back against the car. She's soft against me and her hair slips through my fingers.
I don't know where she learned to kiss, but it couldn't have been Smallville. I finally push her back slightly before this goes some where that's dangerous in the Kent's driveway.
"I'll let you know when you're rushing things," she whispers close enough to my ear that I feel her lips move.
Then she smiles and is walking into the house.
I chuckle to myself as I climb into my car. Chloe Sullivan is going to make my life a lot more interesting.
