Disclaimer: I Don't Own Smallville
George and Andrea arrived on the Kent farm. Andrea had a GPS and found a way to his farm that wasn't by the front entrance. They tried to be as stealthly as they could with being on a farm with so much open space but they managed not to be seen. They then found himself in the barn and realized Clark had used it as an office.
"Wow, Clark keeps on getting cooler and cooler." George said.
Andrea tugged on his demin jacket and said, "Come on."
They then ventured up the ragidy wooden stairs and started looking through Clark's office. He saw a picture of Chloe and that other girl who must have been Clark's girlfriend hugging happily. Then there was a picture of two wholesome looking adults who must've been Clark's parents. He looked around more at papers and texts books scattered across Clark's desk. Then he saw a note book that had history written on it and then a folder that had Dr. Milton Fine on it. Then there were tons of official looking papers on Lex Luthor. It was research done by Dr. Milton Fine.
"Hmmm he's researching Lex Luthor."
Then he opened the desk doors and saw all of these papers that had these strange symbols on them. He picked them up and examined them closely. They looked familar. There was a drawing with two heads on on one body. His breath escaped his mouth as he stared at the sketch. He has seen this picture before. He saw it plenty of times when he was a kid. Davis always drew this picture obssessively when they were kids. Davis used to tell him when he drew this it was like his true self was coming out and it wasn't pretty or normal. When ever he drew it was a happy ocassion. What ever he drew came out of him like it wasn't his choice. Davis never liked it. George heard about other kids using drawings as therapy and it was a way for them to feel better once the demons were out but for Davis it was another reminder he wasn't a normal kid. George looked at more of the drawings and other symbols and he realized Davis has drawn all of this. This convinced George that what ever was going on with Davis had something to do with Clark. What ever made Davis draw those was the same thing that had made Clark draw these.
Then suddenly Andrea pulled him down and pushed him under the desk. Then they heard a woman's voice. "That's fine Clark. We weren't expecting you, you have fun with Lana."
"What? Clark...Don't you think you should be happy that Chloe finally has a girl friend? She hasn't had a boyfreind since... I really don't know when Chloe had an actual boyfriend unless you count that short time when you two were together."
"Clark, you can't protect her from the rest of the male population. You have to let her make her own choices."
"I'm not saying don't protect her, I'm just saying if you're too over protective you'll push her away."
Then they heard footsteps leave the farm. This Clark guy wasn't looking so good to him. A real freind would be happy for their friend. He should have known Chloe and Clark had some sort of romantic history. All he knew is he had to continue find the truth about Clark Kent and save his brother and help his brother have his happily ever after. And this Clark guy was not going to ruin that.
After they decided to go out on a double date Davis continued with his 180 degree mood change and offered to cook dinner and invited them over to his house. That way he could show Clark just how safe Chloe was. He had a talent for winning people over with his cooking. He found it recently when his adoptive mother suggested he cook and it came naturally to him.
He knew his adoptive parents had work tonight so the four of them would have the place to themselves. Chloe was worried about an explosion from Davis and Clark. Davis reassured her as along as she was with him it would be fine. Chloe and Davis went home first to prepare the meal and Lana and Clark would meet them there later. Davis gave Clark directions. So there Chloe was helping Davis prepare the meal. Chloe didn't have much experience with cooking but she admired those who did, well she was in the process of admiring Davis cook right now. There was something just plain sexy about a guy who knew how to cook.
"OK, Davis, I think we need some ground rules."
"Ground rules?" Davis asked as he was chopping tomatoes.
"Well, obviously this isn't going to work if I don't touch you."
"Yeah," Davis said as he contiued to focus on chopping the tomatoes.
"I just think it would be better if we weren't so blatant the entire time. It would be better if we were discrete."
"Chloe, maybe this won't work. I want to be the bigger man and try to keep the peace. I'm freaking cooking dinner to keep the peace for the guy." His chopping of the totmatoes become more fiercly and harder juices started to fly around.
Then he contiued and said, "I'm not going out of my way to try to touch you where he doesn't see it."
Chloe huffed and said, "Davis, I just want things to run smoothly. And..."
"Why does he care? For all he knows we're two people who are in our honey moon faze of our relationship. Why would it matter to him?" Davis asked accusingly.
Chloe brushed a hand through her hair and said, "He just...is."
Davis finished chopping the tomatoes and he said, "Chloe did you two... did anything ever happen between the two of you?"
Chloe tried brushing it off and said, "Nothing news worthy."
Davis put the tomatoes in a bowl and Chloe took the bowl from Davis and grabbed the spoon and started smashing the tomatoes. She focused on it not looking up at Davis. The juices started squirting everywhere some hitting her face. Then Davis wiped the tomatoe juice off of Chloe's face and said, "Not news worthy huh?"
Then he put the bowl and down on the counter and said, "Why don't you tell me about it? What happened?"
"Nothing. There wasn't anything really. I mean I had a crush, we went to a dance together, and I kissed him a couple of times, but it was all onesided and I'm over it."
"Onesided? On your part? I thought it was on his part."
Chloe couldn't help but smile and blush at that. Then she said, "Thanks for that. So anyway, Clark always loved Lana and it was hard at first but I'm over it."
Davis said, "What about him? Are you sure he's over it?"
Then Davis took the bowl and started to gently sprinkle spices in it. Chloe bit her lip trying to think about it and not admiring how much Davis looked like an artist as he naturally cooked like it was a part of him. It was very sensual as he tasted the sauce and added spices by pure instinct. Then he stirred in pure smooth strokes and stopping the exact right moment. She tried to think about Clark and their relationship but Davis' hands were oftly distracting. Then she bit her lip trying to get back on track. Clark, Clark, Clark, oh yes Clark he was her BFF who she had an unrequited crush on. Wasn't she in love with him at some point? Oh yes that's right she was. Was he? Did he ever return her feelings? There were times, moments really, when it seemed like it, like the time at Spring Formal when he looked at her and called her beautiful, but then he abandoned her to save Lana. Then there was that recent moment when he told her his secret. He didn't have to tell her the whole truth, she was perfectly fine with the whole Meteor Infected explanation. But he did he laid it all on the line for her. She never felt closer to him or anyone. But then immidately he lost his powers and wanted so much to just have a normal bland life with Lana. It didn't work out, losing his powers was only temporary but he still wanted that bland mundane normal life. Chloe never wanted a normal life. She was never attracted to normal. The one time she gave normal a chance with a normal bland no way he's a special guy-Jimmy Olsen, she got burned, he slept with her and never called her again. Nope, normal wasn't really that attractive to her at all.
Then Chloe said, "Nope, I don't think there were feelings there. If there were they just were never strong enough. Among his priorites I always came second."
"Wow, stand up guy. Why do you keep him around as a friend?" Davis asked not impressed.
Chloe said, "Clark is a good guy, Davis. He just loves Lana more. She should come first she is his girlfriend. That's the way it should be. Your significant other should come before your best friend. It would be pretty messed up if your best freind came before the person you loved. Don't you think?"
"Yeah, I do. Well, try this." Davis said as he finished stirring the sauce and served Chloe the sauce in a wooden spoon.
Chloe tasted it. She felt her tast buds tingle feeling like they were being massaged by the pure feeling of the taste. She let spices and flavours fill her mouth in a flurry of unwavering deliciousness. The mixture of the spices and the sauce brought out the tomatoe sauce so well.
"Mmmmmmm" Chloe moaned as she tasted it.
"I take it you like it?" Davis asked smiling.
"Oh yeah, no words can describe the deliciousness of that and I'm a writer I live on words."
Davis smiled and laughed a little looking a little smug and said, "And that's before my secret ingredient."
"What's the secret ingredient? Or can't you tell me because it's a secret?"
"No I want to tell you all of my secrets." Davis said almost like those words just came out, out of pure instinct. He sheepishly and awkwardly opened the fridge and took a bag out of the vegetable door.
Then he said, "Onions."
Chloe smiled a wide toothy grin and said, "I love onions."
Davis laughed a little and said, "It's something we have in common. They're my favorite food, but they make everything better, they bring so much flavor out of everything and they make your mouth water."
Chloe laughed and said, "Yeah, but they make you cry."
"We all need a good cry sometimes. I like it when onions make me cry, it makes me feel sometihng, it makes me feel human."
Chloe licked her kips and said, "I can't help but love a man whose not afraid to cry."
Davis simply smiled feeling a little smug as he started to chop the onions.
