Chloe looked in the mirror thinking about Davis. She thought about how they first met. How they acted together. How she immedtately felt right with him. It wasn't like that with Jimmy, not even close. When she first met Jimmy she thought he was funny, entertaining, and cute-in a bow tie kind of way. With Davis it was so different there were sprks and electricity since the first moment she saw him and they saved someone together.
She immediately had to burry those feelings because she was engaged to Jimmy Olsen, after all. She loved Jimmy she really did. Sure he never caused the heart pounding , goose bumps, and lips quivering that Davis caused, but he was a good guy. He was there for her. He didn't give up on her. He adored her. He put her on a pedestal and after seeing Clark and everyone else put Lana on a pedestal for so many years, it felt really good being put there.
And then there was Clark. Clark. clark Kent-her BFF and very own entergalatic traveler protector. He was always there to save her, to keep her safe, to keep the world safe. She loved him. She liked to tell herself that her love transeneded romance. That it was a really good friendly love. But she knew there would always be a big part of her who would always love Clark Kent. She would go to the ends of the Earth to save him.
A really big part of her felt like she would wait for him. But when she was arrested she waited for him. When she went to that facility she waited. She waited until she realized that was waiting too long, not just literally waiting for him to rescue her, but figuratively waiting for clark to come a long and open his eyes. So she stopped waiting appreciated the fact that Jimmy was in love her and appricated what she had.
So she accepted Jimmy. She loved him she really did. But when she met Davis, she couldn't beleive the way he looked at her. The way he blantly flirted with her. The sparks of electricity that flowed. And it was more then the physical attraction. He was supportive. Really supportive in a way Jimmy and Clark could never was always just so overly concerned for her safety. That feeling intensified when she discovered his secret. Clarks protective grip was very tight on her never wanting her to use her power and not wanting her to go out investigating things or doing her whole side kick with anyone else but him. And Jimmy really was clueless and never really liked to mention anything about her power or her work. He walked around egg shells when it came to stuff like that.
Davis encouraged her. He was an open ear for her. The way Clark used to be every now and then (when he wasn't preoccupied with Lana). But Davis was everything Clark was and more. He didn't put her on a pedestal like Jimmy but he clearly admired her and thought she was beautiful. He made her feel special while at the same time treating her as his equal. He made her feel normal and specail at the same time. And that was something she couldn't walk away from. So she reached in her carefully done hair and pulled out her veil that was bob pinned in her elaborte hair due.
Some blonde strands loosened, falling across her forehead. She was doing this. She couldn't walk down that aisle and marry a man she was settling for. Not when there was a man out there who knew all of the parts of her who saw her who really saw her and admired every curve of her. Who chose to help people and encourage her to do the same thing.
She had had it with the denial. She was falling in love with Davis. It was stronger then her love for Jimmy. And shockingly enough it was stronger then her love for Clark. She never thought that day would come.
She started to unzip her silk smooth fitting white wedding dress. Then she stopped in mid zip. She heard someone come in. She froze, afraid it was Jimmy or Clark, not exactly know what she would say to either of them. She knew she had to give both of them the truth about what she was planning to do, especially Jimmy. She didn't want to hurt him but she was preventing him from further heart break down the road.
She turned around to see it was Davis he said,
"Oh, sorry Chloe, I didn't mean to disturb you."
Chloe smiled fondly he was such a gentlman.
"It's ok Davis."
Davis looked at Chloe amazed and tried to shake himself at thet temory daze he was in and said, "Look, Chloe. I know I said I was happy for you. Whatever makes you happy butI don't think this will I can't let you do this."
"I know." Chloe said.
"You do?"
"I can't marry Jimmy."
"Oh." Davis said trying really hard to surpress his smile.
"I take it this was a recent development concidering your attire."
Chloe smoothed out the silk of her white flowing dress.
"Yeah, it is. I just realized I can't marry Jimmy. I thought I could. I thought it was for the best for everyone. But it wouldn't make me truely happy."
Then Davis moved closer and nervously asked, "What would?"
Chloe smiled her big toothy grin and said, "I think you know."
Chloe knew that she should pull away right now. She needed to talk to Jimmy. She needed to break it off with him. She had to tell him the wasn't the type of girl to kiss someone who wasn't her fiance' on her wedding day. But there seemed to be a stronger force pulling her towards Davis.
She wrapped her arms around him and began kissing him deeply. Suddenly everything went black.
