Clark put the bags in the airport security, while Chloe fussed saying she could carry them. He turned to her and slightly frowned; "The doctor said you have to be careful" She pouted but then smiled, no matter what Clark always had to be the big brother in her life. They got into the car, and drove to the airport. Jimmy waved to them as he was passing through security. Chloe waved back, the morning had been hectic and her nerves were making her regret her choice. Too late, to turn back now. Taking a deep breath, she smiled confidently at Clark he was worried about her.
"I'll be fine really." She said.
"Promise to call me or Lois everyday?" he asked nervously.
Chloe raised her right hand, "Scout's honor" He smiled at her and gave her a long hug. "If anyone gives you any trouble, call me I can be in Gotham in a flash" he winked at her. He walked her to the gate and she passed through, "Bye Clark!" Her best friend waved at her and she disappeared into the plane.
Bruce woke up and sighed, he was going to have to drop by Wayne Enterprise to make sure things were going well with the dinner event they were hosting. Frowning he looked into the mirror, he wore a casual trouser pants with a black sweater. He'd caught himself frowning more and more these past few days, especially after Lucius had told him that the press from all over the world had come to Gotham to interview him personally. The playboy let out a deep breath on his way to the car, tomorrow would not be an easy day. As soon as the limo stopped in front of the building, he stepped out and smiled lightly to the cameras that followed him everywhere.
Jimmy helped Chloe with her bags, and then he hailed a cab. She leaned against the airport wall her head hurt from the airplane and she had to excuse herself to throw up in the tiny bathroom.
"Come on Chloe the taxi is waiting. You ok?" he asked worried.
She pulled herself together and nodded, "I'm just tired"
"Yeah, me too. Can you believe we interview Mr. Wayne tomorrow afternoon? I wonder what he's like?" he said excited, like a little boy on Christmas. Chloe closed her eyes she already knew what he was like. Wonderful, handsome, caring, supportive. Her heart tightened as she listed a few qualities. Jimmy took her silence as a cue to be quiet and she was grateful for that. A few minutes later they stopped in front of a big hotel, and grabbed their things.
"Wow Perry really out did himself" she commented. Jimmy nodded as they walked into the huge lobby with high ceilings and plush carpet they could feel under their shoes. The receptionist greeted them kindly, and her eyes lingered on Chloe as if she recognized her. "We have 2 rooms under the name Perry White or The Daily Planet, I'm not sure." Jimmy told her.
Chloe looked away, hoping the woman wouldn't recognize her. Too late. "Excuse me aren't you that woman who dated Bruce Wayne awhile back?" she asked shyly.
Chloe turned and gave her a forced smile, "Yes, I am"
She offered no more as the bellboy took their bags and showed them to the rooms. Her face was flushed as she climbed into the elevator. I really hope that's the last time that happens. Somehow she doubted that. In her room which was right across Jimmy's she unpacked her things and turned up the heat, she had forgotten how could it was in Gotham. From her window she had a good view of the city, it was the same familiar skyline she had seen from the plane. Sighing, she turned away she was here to interview Bruce, snap a few pictures, attend the dinner maybe mingle with the Gotham Royalty to get any new stories, then she could leave. Chloe took a nice long bubble bath, and dried herself of. It seemed like Jimmy had never stayed in a fancy hotel, because he called her room and announced he had ordered cookies and milk on room service.
She smiled amused, and hung up. Taking his lead, she ordered a light dinner and made sure they brought up a banana that she was craving. "Oh no! I'm starting to crave things now?" After her dinner, she called Clark and Lois, told them she was all right and laughed about the silly things Jimmy had said. Yawning she hung up the phone and crawled beneath the covers.
