Times Up.
Lex sat down next to Chloe in the Talon as she polished of another venti cup of mocha and punished the table with her repetitive taping of her pen.
"So now what did the table do to deserve such an annoying habit to befall it."
"Huh." was Chloe's responds as she was pulled out of her thoughts. "Lex, when did you get here?"
"About five minutes ago, Chloe I'm hurt, usually everybody notices me the minute I walk into a building."
"Well it couldn't of hurt you that much, your ego is still fully intact." Chloe snarked back.
"Well, yeah, it would defiantly take more then a little blond reporter to defunct my ego."
"Hey now, who are you calling little."
"Well correct me if I'm wrong but you are like 5 ft 3. Are you not"
"You are so not in the position to talk mister 5 ft 10."
"Hey at least I can reach over the counter."
"I am not that short!" Chloe spoke loudly as she threw her napkin Lex's head. Lex however caught the napkin with ease.
"So what is up with you."
"Not much, just a little preoccupied with the whole school starting back up again tomorrow and facing everyone with the truth of Leigh and introducing her into this world, to these people."
"To Clark you mean"
"Clark is mister upstanding morels, and so is Lana, they are like Mr. And Mrs. Clause. They never so much as talk out of turn. How are they going to look at me now when I show up with a six year old daughter."
"Are you ashamed of her" Lex cut her off before she could finish.
"What no, of course not. Why would you."
"Think that, because your acting scared about what others are going to think about you for having your daughter, that is defiantly not the Chloe I know."
"Hey now. I Have worked my ass off trying to turn, my life around and getting to were I am today and have the friends that I have, good friends who go out of there way to help others and genuinely care about other people. And of course I am not ashamed of my daughter, If I was I would not have fought for the last three years to get her back. I am defiantly not ashamed of my daughter, I am ashamed of myself for my life that lead up to her. A life that I do not whish to rehash with anybody and one that I do not want to have linked with me for the rest of my time in this town. To have everybody know who I was and stare at me and prosecute my daughter for my mistakes." Chloe was now almost near tears and her voice horse from the whispered yelling as she sat back in the booth and grab Lex's coffee and drinks what was left. "I didn't really make the best decisions back then, My mother and I were…"
"Your mother, what does your mother."
"nothing" Chloe quickly interrupted Lex's line of questioning and got up and left the talon as fast as she could leaving a very baffled Lex looking into an empty cup of mocha.
Once outside, Chloe started pacing back and forth trying to calm her nerves. Her conversation with Lex almost led somewhere she was not willing to go. How could she have been stupid enough to have let that slip. She didn't want anybody knowing anything, especially Lex, That was the last thing that she needed. But that was all about to change now wasn't it. Tomorrow she was going to have to stop ignoring everyone. Time to face the music that was Clark and Lana And the rest of the town. They were all going to find out, but probably better to get it over with right, just like a band aid, fast and pain free, only this time the pain comes from the questions, Lex never asked any questions, he just let it all be, she could just hope for the same response from the others.
