Make Damn Sure- Chapter 3

Thanks for all the reviews guys! Wow! I knew there were more Chlexers out there! Come one, Come all! (oh, and I reformatted chapter 2...)

Disclaimer: I don't know what you are talking about. I can't even pay for my tuition. How would I pay for Lex's expensive taste?

Chloe felt like the world was spinning just for her. Everything was warm and fuzzy all over. She suspected that this feeling might be due to the many shots she had ingested with her new 'friend' but, at the moment, she would put aside her naturally inquisitive side to enjoy herself. John's

'Or was it Jeff?'

hands were running up and down her sides as she twirled away from him and slinked back, her hips up against his body.

'I was right about that body.' She giggled to herself.

Chloe could feel the heat radiating off of him as they pressed against each other in the crowd on the dance floor. He wanted her. She knew that.

'I am definitely not drunk enough for that.' She told herself.

But, as they continued dancing,

'If you can call it that anymore….I'm pretty sure this would be first base in Smallville.'

the alcohol and the fight she with Lois earlier about Clark were all telling her that it was her right to have a little fun. This would be a nice detour off the stressful road she was speeding down. Jay's

'HA! Jay! That was his name!"

lips were moving but, Chloe couldn't understand a word he was saying. Then, he was guiding her through the crowd of people and back to the bar. It was a little quieter over here.

'How did we get to the dance floor anyway? What was that smell?'

"You were really sexy out there, Chloe? Is that a sign of things to come?"

"Well….depends on what's coming, Jay. You might have to be extra nice to me."

'WOAH! Where did that come from Chloe?! Inner Slut-Alert Alert!'

"I think I could manage to make things real nice for you, honey."

"Oh really. I'm not quite sure you could handle the young lady, stud."

'Wait, that voice is behind me. It's familiar…..Who is that?'

Chloe whipped around and proceeded to lose her balance. Strong arms caught her in a whisper of silk and vanilla.

'LEX?!'

Chloe looked up from beneath her bangs to see a very familiar smirk and eyes that looked less than amused.

Lex continued watching the sexy blonde.

'I think a battle plan is in order.'

She was a shadow in the light show- a mixture of red, blonde, light, and dark. He caught glimpses of her movements; the way her arms lifted above her head in seeming ecstasy from the music, her neck arching gracefully away from her partner's mouth as he tried to steal kisses, the grinding motion of her hips in time to the music. All of it held a great many promises about the woman's passion and skill.

'Now, to whisk her away from He-Man over there…..Come on, Lex. You aren't so out of practice.'

Lex watched as the couple made their way off of the dance floor and headed back to the bar. The woman swayed slighty still and Lex realized that she was intoxicated.

'So that is what He-Man's plan was. Original. Really.'

As they entered the light that radiated from the bar's lit counter, the woman suddenly turned to cast a glance behind her.

'Shit……It's Chloe.'

Chloe. Chloe Sullivan. Chloe Sullivan was the sexy blonde he had been lusting after a scant few seconds before. Chloe Sullivan, High School reporter. Chloe Sullivan, coffee addict and snark master. Chloe. Clark's would-be lover. My would-be friend.

'Hold on there, Lex. Chloe is not in high school anymore. She's older than Lana by months. She's all woman now…..A woman who hates you.'

Lex's gaze turned dark as he remembered the last conversations he had had with Chloe over 2 years ago. Hurtful things had been said on both sides but, he knew that he had done the worst damage. The things she had said were true. And she had known back then that Lana wasn't the right girl for him. The things he had said, however, were only illusions of the truth.

' Better let her go, Lex. You might actually deserve this.'

But, as he made up his mind, he saw He-Man's lecherous grin and could feel his intentions from 10 feet away. Before he knew what he was doing, Lex had moved right behind Chloe and could hear the seductive conversation that was going on.

"Well….depends on what's coming, Jay. You might have to be extra nice to me."

'Definitely not a little girl anymore. Not with that mouth.'

"I think I could manage to make things real nice for you, honey."

"Oh really. I'm not quite sure you could handle the young lady, stud."

The words flew out Lex's mouth before he could stop himself. But, he couldn't deny it. This new Chloe was definitely more dangerous ...and……spinning around….and…falling. Instinctively, Lex put out his arms to catch her. Her body, heated from her excursions on the dance floor and the conversation before, fell against him. Her head was pressed against his chest and Lex could smell her perfume

'Citrus and flowers…..'

Even as she looked up at him with shock and smokey eyes. He smirked at the emotion she let play across her face as she stared at him- shock, anger, confusion, amusement, and….

'What was that?'

a hint of sadness.

'What was Chloe Sullivan sad about?'

However, any question he had was quickly replaced by his own emotions as Chloe promptly threw up.

'Oh shit! I just threw up on Lex Luthor. He's going to kill me!'

OK! OK! I swear they will actually converse in the next chapter and almost every single one after! Review Y'all!
