Lex

I clicked on a song, it sure sounded like the one I needed. Let's find out.

(Backstreet Boys--Incomplete)

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess

Oh this was great.

I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

I really need you Chloe, without you I'm not me.

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

Do you wonder that Chloe? I don't, I know I messed up.

I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

I need you to heal my heart Chloe.

I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I can't let you go Chloe, no matter how hard I try, I just can't.

I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

Incomplete

Oh this one would work, it just had to!

Chloe

I couldn't wait to see what Lex had for me this time. It was going to take a miracle to make me forgive him. His e-mail popped up; here we go. It was 5 AM but there was no way I was going to go to sleep now. I took a deep breath and clicked play.

(Backstreet Boys--Incomplete)

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess

Oh God, please no! I knew this song, it was guaranteed to melt any woman's heart.

I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

I broke his heart? He broke mine first!

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I'm not your baby Lex...but I want to be.

I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

I felt the lyrics and the music working, I was melting, I could just picture Lex's face, smirking. He would just love for me to give up. But I couldn't, not yet, my heart was still healing.

I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I've had to face the world alone for so long, Lex I don't want you to let me go.

I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

Incomplete

And I melted, completely melted, he needed me. And he wasn't afraid to say so. So why shouldn't I give him a second chance? Chloe no! Oh shut up! I silenced my little voice and searched for the perfect song to send Lex...

This one looked good.

(LeAnn Rimes--I Need You)

I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth

You're my reason for doing this Lex.

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

I need you Lex, please don't abandon me again, please.

You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it's so amazing
'cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'cause you've brought me too far

This song was so perfect.

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

I need you Lex, please come and help me. Oh this song was so perfect.

Lex

She took awhile, but she did answer. I swallowed, not knowing what she was going to do.

(LeAnn Rimes--I Need You)

This was exactly what I wanted.

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

She needs me, this was more then I hoped for.

Oh wow, Chloe you sure picked the perfect song to get me back. But you didn't need to do that, I would have come back with no effort from you at all.

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

This was too great. I had to do something! I picked up the phone and dialed her number.

"Hello?" Oh it was great to hear her voice.

"Chloe?"

"Lex?"

"Chloe I'm sorry! I'm sorry for the other night, I'm sorry for leaving you at the hospital, I'm sorry for drugging you and I am really, really sorry for marrying Helen."

"Lex I forgive you, it's okay, you had reasons."

"No Chloe it's not okay, no reason is good enough for abandoning you like I did."

"Lex it's okay, I forgive you."

"Oh and Chloe?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for spying on you yesterday." I gulped, she had forgiven me, but she was still Chloe.

"Spying! Lex when were you spying on me! And why!" I heard her anger through the phone.

"Uh yeah..." For once I was speechless. "Yesterday, at the stables, when you were working with that horse. You sing great by the way," I ended lamely.

"Ohhhhhh, well why were you spying on me in the first place?"

"Well I had originally planned to talk to you and apologize, but when I saw you I couldn't work up the courage." I heard her laugh. Laughing was good, I think.

"It was probably for the best anyway, I might have taken your head off." Now I was the one laughing, I could just picture her doing that.

"Oh good." I paused, thinking. "Chloe? Do you want to get together? Like soon? Maybe tomorrow..." I glanced at my watch, "...or tonight, I guess." She laughed again.

"Sure Lex, tonight, when and where?"

"Seven o'clock, Olive Garden."

"Okay then, seven o'clock. See you then Lex."

"Good night Chloe." There was a moment of silence. I didn't want to hang up.

"Uh, Lex, are we gonna hang up now?" I laughed.

"Sorry Chloe, I don't want to hang up."

"Don't worry Lex, even if we hang up, I'm not going anywhere." That was exactly what I had been thinking.

"How do you know me so well?"

"I don't know, but if we don't get some sleep, we might die driving to the restaurant." I laughed out loud, this was the Chloe I knew.

"Okay, okay. Sweet dreams Chloe." I said, my voice softening.

"Sweet dreams Lex," she said, her voice lowering to just above a whisper. She hung up and I set the phone down. My heart was beating wildly in my chest, it had worked. I had my second chance. I was having dinner with Chloe tomorrow. I walked to my bedroom in a daze and collapsed on the bed, falling asleep quickly. It was my first good night's sleep in a long time, and it was filled with dreams about a certain fiery, blonde haired, aspiring reporter.

Chloe

The phone rang, who would be calling at this hour?

"Hello?"

"Chloe?" Oh my gosh it was Lex!

"Lex?"

"Chloe I'm sorry! I'm sorry for the other night, I'm sorry for leaving you at the hospital, I'm sorry for drugging you and I am really, really sorry for marrying Helen." You should be Lex, I died that day, but you brought me back to life, so I can forgive you.

"Lex I forgive you, it's okay, you had reasons."

"No Chloe it's not okay, no reason is good enough for abandoning you like I did." Damn right!

"Lex it's okay, I forgive you."

"Oh and Chloe?" What now? I was still just happy to be talking to him.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for spying on you yesterday." Spying on me!

"Spying! Lex when were you spying on me! And why!" I knew he could tell I was really mad.

"Uh yeah..." He paused, probably trying to decide which response would calm me down. "Yesterday, at the stables, when you were working with that horse. You sing great by the way." He heard me singing? Oh wonderful.

"Ohhhhhh, well why were you spying on me in the first place?"

"Well I had originally planned to talk to you and apologize, but when I saw you I couldn't work up the courage." I laughed, I was probably the first person to make Lex Luthor scared.

"It was probably for the best anyway, I might have taken your head off." Which I probably would have.

"Oh good. Chloe? Do you want to get together? Like soon? Maybe tomorrow...or tonight, I guess." I laughed, excited.

"Sure Lex, tonight, when and where?"

"Seven o'clock, Olive Garden." Oh I love Olive Garden.

"Okay then, seven o'clock. See you then Lex."

"Good night Chloe." We didn't hang up, I didn't want to.

"Uh, Lex, are we gonna hang up now?"

"Sorry Chloe, I don't want to hang up." I knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry Lex, even if we hang up, I'm not going anywhere."

"How do you know me so well?" I laughed, I kind of did know him really well.

"I don't know, but if we don't get some sleep, we might die driving to the restaurant." He laughed, man I loved the sound of his laugh.

"Okay, okay. Sweet dreams Chloe," he said, his voice softening. Oh wow, how sweet.

"Sweet dreams Lex," I said softly. I hung up the phone, this was amazing. He had apologized and I'd forgiven him and we were having dinner! I went to bed with a certain sexy, bald, amazing, sweet, romantic, billionare invading my dreams.
