Chapter 3

Lex looked at the pictures that his camera man had sent him. He looked at them fire was burning up inside of him. Chloe was all over some guy and he didn't like it. His tore up the pictures and threw them into the fire. He got some alcohol letting it ease his pain he knew it had been a year since she had left and they hadn't talked since. He missed her and seeing those pictures made him mad, mad at himself for letting her go.

"Lex you know you don't have to do this." Chloe told him looking into the palms of his hands. His hands were covering her eyes bringing her some place.

"It's your birthday you deserve this." Lex told her into her ear.

"How much farther?" Chloe was getting impatient she wanted to know what Lex had planned for. She never knew what to expect when it came to him he was always doing things that amazed her. After the contract was over Chloe didn't want to leave him. Whenever she was away she wanted to be next to him. She came back to him and told him that they didn't have to have a contract but she wanted to be with him and he had agreed.

"Just a little bit farther Chloe don't get so impatient." Lex pulled her closer so she didn't feel like he was just going to leave her out here.

"I want to know where we are going." Chloe demanded she hated not knowing things.

"I told you, you will have to wait you don't want to ruin the surprise do you?" Lex said as he came closer to the spot he had worked hard on for Chloe's birthday.

"Yes I do." Chloe told him hoping that he would tell her now.

"Well here we are." Lex took his hands away from Chloe's eyes and he watched as Chloe stood there memorized by the lights and flowers all over.

"Lex don't you think this is a lot just for my birthday?" Chloe looked at him tears in her eyes no one had ever gone through this much just for her birthday.

"No you deserve it especially since you don't have a lot of people to celebrate with you." Lex rubbed Chloe's cheek stroking her hair.

"I only need you." Chloe kissed him passionately. "Thank you for all this." She smiled at him.

"You are very welcome now let's eat our delicious dinner that I had the cook make." Lex went over to the table and Chloe followed him.

"What did the cook make?" Chloe looked at the dinner plates that were covered.

"Your favorite spaghetti." Lex smirked as Chloe licked her lips. He loved watching her eat spaghetti because he got to wipe off the sauce every few bites or he got to kiss it off.

"I think that is your favorite." Chloe told him. He pulled out a chair for her and she sat down and he sat down across from him.

"Are you sure about that one night you were saying spaghetti in your sleep and say mmmm Lex make me some spaghetti." Lex smirked at Chloe as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I have never said that Lex Luthor and besides you have your cook make the food. Do you even know how to cook?" Chloe's eyes looked at him with curious eyes.

"I know how to cook some things." Lex didn't want to make it seem like he didn't know how to cook anything the only time he learned how to cook is when his mom taught him his father always had the cook make food. His mother however liked to do things for herself.

"Like what?" Chloe looked at him she wanted to know.

"Peanut butter and Jelly." Lex smirked knowing that it wasn't really cooking when you just spread things from jars on bread.

"Wow Lex that is impressive." Chloe laughed and started to eat her food.

"Hey it is really hard because finding anything in the kitchen takes like an hour." Lex laughed as he looked at Chloe's sauce face. "You know you sure get messy eating this." Lex wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"Yeah I know that is why you like it so much." Chloe looked at him. "So what do you have planned after this?"

"A long night with your handsome boyfriend." Lex's eyebrows rose at her.

"I don't know can boyfriends be handsome when they don't have any hair." Chloe smirked at him knowing that he wasn't going to like that.

"I don't know are they I think you might have the best opinion out of everyone else in the world." Lex looked up at Chloe his eyes looked at her.

"Yeah I guess he is." Chloe smirked again and when she looked at Lex she got up and started to run. She heard him behind her and when she felt his hands on her waist she laughed. He tackled her to the ground and looked at her. "Alright you are." Chloe kissed him and then he helped her off the ground.

"I better be otherwise you won't be getting your birthday present." Lex took her hand leading her back to the car.

"I get a nice night and a birthday present wow I think I must have the greatest boyfriend in the world." Chloe told him sarcastically.

"You better think that." He kissed her as they started back to the manor.

"So what did you get me?" Chloe wanted to know she always wanted to know.

"Guess." Lex whispered.

"There is only like a million things a guy with your kind of money could get a girl." Chloe said knowing that it was the truth.

"Well then you are just going to have to wait again." He smirked at her again he had never felt this happy with anyone but Chloe he didn't want to lose her and he hoped that he wouldn't.

"Please tell me Lex." Chloe put her lip out and gave him sad eyes trying to get him to tell her.

"Nope you are going to have to wait." Lex said.

Lex picked up the box that held Chloe's birthday present. It held an engagement ring that she had given back to him when she had packed her things and left. She had said yes that night. Lex closed his eyes how could he have been so stupid he lost the one thing he loved.
