It took Clark a good ten minutes before he started his shower, a very cold shower. He couldn't believe that he just kissed Chloe, sure it wasn't bad or anything but Chloe was his best friend. He was in love with Lana, right? Clark wasn't as blind as everyone thought, he had noticed Chloe and her beauty but she was his best friend. You aren't supposed to think of your best friend in the way he had been thinking of Chloe lately. He just hit his head against the shower a few times, hoping that somehow they could just go about the rest of this trip normally.

Chloe had found a channel that played old movies on it and she found Gone With The Wind, it was a favorite of hers. She was happily watching it until she heard a thud on the wall, she looked and figured it was Clark. What he was doing she had no idea and wasn't sure she wanted to know. She tried to get her attention back to the movie but she couldn't. All she could think about was that kiss her and Clark had shared. She liked it and wanted more, but wasn't sure what Clark was feeling. He was the one that kissed her, but he was also the one to stop the kiss. She sighed, "Why are boys so damned confusing?"

Clark figured he had taken long enough in the shower and should get out. He turned off the water and hopped out and grabbed a towel. He looked around for his bag so he could change, then he realized in his rush he never grabbed it. He sighed, bowed his head then walked over to the door and opened it a crack, "Hey Chlo"

Chloe was still in her thinking daze, but she was brought out when she heard the familiar voice of her best friend. She smiled, almost forgetting the awkwardness between them at the moment. "Yeah Clark?"

"Could you bring my bag over here, I forgot to grab it before and I need to change."

Chloe chuckled to herself as she got up and walked over to his bag. "Yeah, not a problem." She walked it over to the door where she could see Clark's head popped out and handed the bag to him.

Clark watched as she walked over to his bag, god those shorts looked good on her, "No! damn it, stop thinking those thoughts." He thought to himself as she was nearing him and handing him the bag. "Thanks Chlo, be out in a few."

Chloe could tell he was still feeling weird, and she hated it but she didn't know how to make it go away. "Alright, you can watch the movie with me, it is quite good."

Clark smiled glad she was trying to keep things as normal as possible. "That sounds like fun." He closed the door and opened the bag, he picked out some blue pajama pants with a red tee. After taking a few deep breaths and preparing himself he opened the door and walked out. He found Chloe on the bed, wait they only had one bed? How could he have missed that before? She looked so cute, she was eating some cookies his mom had packed them and watching her movie, trying very hard not to cry. He threw his bag down and sat next to her, "So what movie is it that has actually god Chloe Sullivan on the brink of tears?"

Chloe hadn't even heard Clark come out she was so into her movie, when he sat down next to her and said something she actually jumped. When she ran back what he said to her she smiled and smacked him. "If you must know it is Gone With The Wind and if you tell anyone I will have to hurt you."

Clark laughed at Chloe, always not wanting people to know she cries, when she is like everyone else and does. "I swear I won't" He grabbed a cookie and took a bite and turned to the movie. He had to say he had only watched it once, that time with Chloe too. He liked it but it was just too long for him to sit and pay attention. His eyes wandered up Chloe's legs and up to her chest, he had to bite his lip to hold in a moan.

Chloe smiled up at him and went back to her movie, she was enjoying watching it. Then she felt like she was being watched, she hated that feeling. She slowly looked up to Clark, she caught him staring at her chest. She felt both awkward and flattered that he was oogaling her chest. In the end though her feeling of awkwardness won out, "Ahhemm" she coughed and crossed her arms over her chest.

Clark just couldn't tear his eyes away from Chloe, she was memorizing and the scent she was giving off was intoxicating. He almost started to wish he had put on jeans because pajama pants don't hide erections as well. Then Chloe coughed and covered her chest, he turned bright red and looked up to her face. He could she was embarrassed too, he didn't know what to say so he just gave her his best smile.

Chloe watched as Clark blushed to the max and smiled that smile at her. She had to smile back, that Kent smile just got to her every time. But she knew they had to talk about this sooner or later and she liked the idea of sooner better. "Ah Clark, as I have said before I am no good at ignoring 500 pound elephants so I think we need to talk."

Clark knew that was coming, he just wasn't ready to talk about it yet. He didn't want to end up confessing his feelings for Chloe had been growing rapidly lately and have her not feel the same way. But he knew she was right, they needed to get this out and in the open, "Alright, I assume you mean the kiss?"

Clark was cute, but she knew he knew what she wanted to talk about. "Yes that would be a great place to start. I mean not saying it wasn't great but where did it come from?"

Clark was so happy to hear she enjoyed it too, he wanted to kiss her again. But he knew he had to focus and explain to her why he did it. He turned to face her and looked her in the eye, "Well I guess the only way to explain why I did it was because I wanted to. I know sounds stupid but I did, really bad Chloe. I have been feeling things for you lately that I have only ever thought I could feel for Lana. But they are different from the ones I feel for Lana…"

"Because yours for Lana are much great I get that Clark but then why kiss me when you are still madly in love with Lana?" Chloe was so happy when he said he had wanted to kiss her and he had feelings for her, but then he said her name. She wanted to believe, even for a nano second, that he was starting to see what was right in front of his eyes, but she knew it was too good to be true.

Clark knew he deserved that, he had always put Chloe on the back burner for Lana and now he was seeing how much that hurt her. "No Chloe, my feelings for you are stronger than the ones I have for Lana. Sure I will always have a place for Lana in my heart, but hers will be a small corner in the very bottom while your place will take up the rest. I know it has taken me far too long to realize you, here right under my nose, but now I do and I just hope I am not too late."

Chloe was ready to just block out the rest of what Clark had to say, she knew it would not make her happy. But for some reason she didn't and she was sure glad she did. What she was hearing was what she had been waiting for since the day she met this boy. She started to feel the tears well up in her eyes and she smiled, "Clark you could never be too late to catch me."

-x-So yet another short chapter, but this just seemed like a perfect place to leave off. I hope to update soon and hopefully finish before school starts. Thanks for all the good reviews, but make sure to keep them coming, they are my motivation and without motivation I can't finish the story!
