Chlark Soulmates Chapter 15, a smallville fanfic

Chlark: Soulmates Part XV

Rating: K

Pairing: Chloe/Clark

Summary: Ok I had this story in my head for a while so I thought I write it down. Originally it was going to be a one-shot in the Superman comic mythological universe and Batman universe but now it a two shot because as I thought about it the story has taken a life of its own. Also based on two songs that shows Chloe's or Clark's point of view. Chloe's feelings are expressed in the song, End of Camelot by Peter Cetera, and Clark's feelings are expressed in the song, Gotta be Somebody by Nickelback. This is when Clark Kent meets Chloe Sullivan as an adult but she has a secret.

(Clark's POV)

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Clark Kent was standing at the punch table at another of Bruce Wayne's ball for the top journalist in the field from the most reputable papers. He only came because he was a good friend of Bruce and also his partner Lois Lane happened to be Bruce's date. He remember when he first came to Metropolis after college to get a job at Daily Planet he instantly fell for her but she never looked his way. Lois had her eyes set on his hero alter ego Superman and passed the mild manner reporter Clark Kent. So for now he wondered if he find the special someone for him.

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

At first he thought that would be in his high school sweetheart Lana Lang. In high school they were the talk of the town the quarterback and the cheerleading captain perfect couple. However when they graduated Clark and Lana went their separate ways him off for training and he fashion school so that was the end of that relationship. Then in college he had Lori Lemaris who turned out to be a mermaid that was great but it did not last. This latest crush on Lois had not panned out so he was about to give up and then she walked in.

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

That person was a petite little blond who just happens to be the cousin of Lois Lane. This petite little blond Chloe Sullivan was from Gotham and also friends with Bruce. Bruce and Chloe had dated up until last year but things did not work out. Now that Bruce is with Lois that left Chloe free but now he was even more tongue tied trying to talk to her and that never had happened with the others. This morning at the Daily Planet when he met her she was waiting for Lois to grab lunch. He happened to overhear that Chloe was going to be at the ball just going by alone. Also he read Chloe's work for the Gotham Gazette and sees why journalism runs in the family.

After Clark met her he thought there was something special about Chloe. He also took some time to think back he had heard the name before realizing she was editor of her high school newspaper. Also he remembered seeing her at a cheerleading competition when he went with Lana but never had the nerve to talk to her. He was happy with Lana and never thought of another girl in the way he sees Lana. She smiled at him that day but he smiled back she just walked off with her boyfriend that day.

You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you're holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, ohhh

Tonight that was all going to change so he waited until he saw her walk in. When she did she was wearing a pretty black and dark pink dress. Her heals he had seen before and figured she probably barrowed them from Lois after all they are family. He caught Chloe smile at him then go back to her conversation so he saw an opportunity to break the ice finally to talk to her.

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know their not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

[He went over to the conversation introducing himself and then asked Chloe to dance. He guided Chloe out on the dance floor and a tango started.]

Clark: Chloe do you tango?

Chloe: It has been a while the last one I did was with Bruce in high school.

Clark: Let's see if you still got it.

(Chloe accepted the challenge and they tango.)

Chloe: So Clark what prompted to you to finally speak to me?

Clark: Well I figured we did not get much time to talk earlier and figured tonight would be a good time.

Chloe: Works for me. Listen I was kind of hoping get a chance to talk to you anyway.

Clark: Really. Well let's finish this dance and then we can go talk.

(They finished the tango with an audience but before it ended Clark kissed her. When it was over Clark guided her outside to talk.)

Chloe: Wow I don't think I have ever been kissed like that before.

Clark: Trust me it something that I don't do often or at all.

Chloe: That I can believe. From what Lana told me back in high school cheerleading competitions you were always the shy quarterback.

Clark: You and Lana knew each other back then.

Chloe: We did we may have acted as enemies in competition but we made good friends in camp.

Clark: Hey don't forget we were competing editors.

Chloe: That is true but it was never competition if our schools never competed in that department.

Clark: Yeah did you see the look on Lois and Bruce's faces after we kissed?

Chloe: I sure did I think they were shocked but they also looked happy for us. Anyway I better turn in I got an appointment in the morning so I better head back to the hotel.

Clark: Yeah same with me mind if I take you.

[Chloe just smiled and took his arm. They said goodbye to Lois and Bruce before they left. They made it back to the hotel and Clark gave Chloe a goodnight kiss before leaving.]
