Alfred stopped the car and they got out. Bruce walked Chloe to her apartment, suddenly aware of the disappointment that lurked in his heart. She would leave; he brushed off the gloomy thought.

"So tomorrow we leave?" she asked. He nodded, "Yes we're planned to leave at 6:00 to arrive in Gotham around 7:30." She smiled her eyes sparkled impatiently. She reached into her purse to get out her keys. Bruce lifted her chin and kissed her softly. Chloe closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of his lips on hers. Soon desire took over.

Chloe pulled him into the shadows of her doorway, her back against the closed door. His hands on her hips made her go crazy. She ran her hands up and down his neck. He bombarded her senses. His scent, touch, taste and feel of his body pressing against her. He finally parted and pressed his forehead against hers. "I should go," he said softly. Her eyes were pleading, "No. Stay." She whispered back. No, you know what will happen if you stay.

Bruce shook his head, and unwrapped his arms from her waist somewhat hesitantly. She sighed but smiled. With one last kiss, she went inside. "Bye Bruce" she said.

"Goodbye Chloe" he replied.

The next day Chloe walked into the Daily Planet glowing.

As always she made her way to her desk, and set down to work. Clark was already at his desk reading papers. He looked up at her, and felt a pang of jealousy. Chloe is your friend nothing more. Somehow the thought didn't really convince him. Lois had her day off today so he wouldn't have to worry about hiding his feelings. He felt really bad about hiding his relationship from Chloe but they had barely patched up their friendship a few weeks ago.

Clark saw the look on her face and resisted the urge to yell at her. "Hey" she said somewhat distracted. "Hey Chloe." He replied. She typed and reviewed her interviews. At lunch he stopped and headed over to her desk. Chloe looked up blowing hair out of her eyes. The stubborn strand kept falling and she huffed.

Without realizing what he was doing, he brushed away the strand his finger lingering on her cheek longer than it should have. With his super hearing he could hear her heart that was racing.

"Come on. Let's go out to lunch," he said. She nodded and grabbed her purse. "Where are we going?" she asked. They decided to go to the nearest burger joint, and they ordered to go. Once they had their food, they walked back to the Daily Planet and headed up to the roof.

It was cold but the view of the city they had was worth it. This was his favorite place to hang out, when he was Superman.

They were standing enjoying the beautiful view. He saw the look of amazement on Chloe's face.

She shivered and snuggled against him. He became aware of how intimate they were. But he pushed it aside. She's just cold. "So are you spending Christmas at the farm like always?" he asked her. She stayed still, and looked up at him.

"Actually…Bruce and I are spending Christmas in Gotham. He invited me." She said. He felt the bottled up anger in him explode, "Chloe you've know this guy for what? Like 3 days and your spending Christmas with him? What do you really know about him anyway!!!" he said furiously.

She glared at him, "You don't know him." "And what you do?" he asked. "Yes. Bruce is different, and just because you don't like him doesn't mean I am going to stop dating him!" she yelled back. With that she turned on her heel and left.

Clark grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. She is not going to win this argument. As Chloe turned she slipped on the ice that covered the rooftop and fell back against Clark. He caught her but the weight of her made him fall back. And as they landed, their lips pressed against each other for a second. He was unprepared for the feel of her lips against his.

His heart skipped a beat. Clark found himself actually enjoying the short kiss.

Chloe pulled back. Her eyes flashed with anger, embarrassment and confusion. She got up and glared at him suddenly angry. "You did that on purpose," she said coldly although her eyes betrayed her voice. She likes you. He stared at her as the realization hit him. She glared at him, and started to walk away. "No Chloe. Wait"

She stopped and turned, her eyes shining with tears. "What?" she asked him angry. He cupped her face, and she tried to pull back. He wouldn't let her go not like this. "I know about Lois. Why did you lie? Why? I hate you. I hate you!!!" she screamed and yanked herself from his grasp. She ran into the Daily Planet, and he stood on the roof stunned.
