Instinctive 4
Chloe just left the hospital room. There was yelling and blaming and then admittance of guilt on both sides. Chloe couldn't believe how honest she was being. It was like Davis had sparked an honesty cord in her or something. She told him how she kissed Davis and realized that all of this time she wasn't quite over Clark and that was the main reason she tried so hard with Jimmy, she just wanted to be over Clark already. Jimmy was pissed because that is exactly what he accused her of doing so many times. After a lot of yelling and telling each other truth they both agreed they were better off separate. They did calm down a bit and agreed to part ways amicably.
After she left the room she walked through the hospital hall some how relieved and freed. Then she bumped into Davis. Chloe's face lit up into a proud smile.
"Hey, Chloe." Davis said a bit nervous.
"Davis." Chloe said licking her lips.
They stared at each other in an awkward silence but with a mood of excitement in the air.
Then they both said at the same time, "I'm sorry."
Chloe tilted her lips in surprise and asked, "What are you apologizing for?"
"I heard yelling, from Jimmy's room. I feel responsible."
Chloe came close to him a little to readily, and said, "You're not."
Then Davis asked, "I'm not?"
"I'm the one who attacked you."
Davis laughed and said, "You attacked me? What am I your prey?"
Chloe couldn't answer that only retorts and analogies of having some type of animalistic desire sprung to mind. It was better to focus on the task at hand.
Then she said, "I'm sorry I used you Davis. I was pissed at Jimmy and took it out on you."
Davis smile tilted and said, "It wasn't so bad."
Chloe smiled biting her lip and said, "Not bad at all."
She got lost in his eyes and in dimples and she then composed herself looking around noticing there were people coming and going.
"Is there a place where we can talk?"
Then Davis took her hand and led her to the storage closet. It wasn't to confined it was big enough for them to both walk in comfortably.
Then Davis let go of her hand and she felt the loss of the contact.
He then said, "So? What happened?"
"Jimmy and I broke up. We decided…well we're better off a part. I just don't love him as much and in the way I was trying to."
Davis looked at her not that surprised.
Then she said, "Truth is, I never let myself have an honest look at what I really wanted."
"And what do you want?" Davis asked in bated breath.
"I want…to really figure things out. I realized that yes, I had feeling for Clark and that I tried to bury it and just hope it went away and I hoped I could just move on with Jimmy but it didn't work because Jimmy just wasn't it for me."
"So how did your talk with Clark go?" Davis asked.
"Good. Really good."
"Oh." Davis said sadly.
Chloe stayed bright and invigorated and said, "I never was so honest with him or myself in my life. It felt so freeing."
Davis face sunk a little and with a small smile said, "I'm glad you're happy Chloe."
"Thank you. You encouraged me and helped free me. It was great."
"Um hmmmm." Davis barely said trying not look Chloe in the eye afraid that she would see his heart break.
"And when he went to kiss me."
Davis backed away not sure if he could take the next part but he composed himself and took all of the strength and courage he could manage and listened.
"And I pulled away it was like …"
"You pulled away?" Davis asked hope coming back to him.
"Yeah."
"Why? I thought you said you still …"
"I know. And when I said yes to Jimmy I still did have feelings for Clark. I think I always will have him in my heart but…"
"But?" Davis asked as it felt like his heart jumped into his throat.
"But if Clark kissed me just a few weeks ago, there's no doubt now I wouldn't hesitate but now… now….I…"
Davis looked at her relieved and thrilled and passion flowing through and then he stopped her yammering and brushed his lips with hers. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him fully. She felt this attraction this force like magnets pulling her towards Davis. She knew that she needed to talk so she pushed him away. It was difficult like trying to push two magnets away from each other.
Then she said, "Davis wait."
"What? This isn't what you want?"
"No, I want you Davis." Chloe said out of breath.
"I just…I just called off my wedding and told my best friend I had feelings for him for like years and I'm just…I need time to sort everything out. I don't want to treat you like I treated Jimmy."
Davis nodded out breath and said, "Yeah, I get that. You need time and space?"
"Space? No not space I…being with you helps me stay at ease. I think we should take things slow." Chloe said with antispation.
"Slow. Yeah, I can be slow. I can be whatever you need." Davis said his eyes brightened.
"Good." Chloe smiled.
Then Davis put his hand out for her to take. Chloe looked at him with wide eyes full of anticipation and then she took his hand. As she did this she felt their connection meld. Something in her clicked. Then she was bombarded with all of these Kryptonian symbols in her head and she saw one symbol. With her Brainiac knowledge she could now read the Kryptonian symbols this symbol meant doom.
Davis looked down at her at her change of mood and expression and asked, "Are you OK?"
Chloe kept her hand intertwined with his and looked up at his gorgeous concerned face and said, "I'm where I want to be."
Chloe couldn't stand to lie to him so she didn't. She really was where she wanted to be. She wanted Davis. She wanted to be with him. He made things clear, easy, simple, and warm. She loved how he made her feel. She would worry about Brainiac's images later. Right now she would bask in the happiness that Davis ensued.
