Too early for meaningful conversations.

Author – Lili

Rating – PG13 (it may be too high, I’m not sure)

Disclaimer – I don’t own any of the characters or in fact anything to do with Smallville, sadly… wish they were for sale though.

Feedback – if you want to, I’d appreciate it, if you’re in a rush I don’t mind, I do it for the love of writing.

AN – thank you Ed, your parting shot ‘inspired’ me.
Also I hope everyone enjoys this even though it doesn’t really have a plot, hopefully like me you just like making up for the fact that the characters we love will probably never have a conversation like this. If you don’t like it, just tell me and I’ll vent in other ways.

Part 1


It was still dark when Chloe woke; she rolled over,

away from the virtual stranger in the bed next to her,

and buried her head in the cotton pillow.

Shame washed over her at what she had done, and as

she felt Lex’s hand caress her spine she moved away,

willing herself back to sleep.

"Chloe?"

Again she ignored him.

"You can’t pretend this isn’t happening, you know."

Silence.

"Chloe."

A firm hand pulled her round to face him.

With her eyes closed, she could feel his own boring into her.

"Silly child." He whispered, fluttering kisses over her still face.

Her mouth curved up involuntarily and a sigh of happiness escaped her.

Only when his lips deliberately found hers, did she opened her eyes.

"That’s better."

He smiled now, but it wasn’t real, she’d never really seen him smile,

not until last night that is.

"Pretty eyes." He murmured, absently as though he

hadn’t really meant to speak at all.

Chloe smiled again, bitterly this time, anger reined in

tightly "I’m trying to work out at which point in the night I

got my sanity back."

His fake smile vanished, and she got a slight kick out of it.

"Last night should not have happened… I love Clark, I work for your

father. I am virtually your enemy" She breathed in deeply.

"Last night was a desperate girl’s cry to be loved, even if

it was just the physical kind of love."

AN - thankyou so much for replying, I appreciate you taking the time to do so. I hope this final part is as good.
Enjoy!

Part 2 (disclaimer in part 1)


They lay in silence, Lex wasn’t looking at her, Chloe

was glad, her bravado wouldn’t have withheld his cold

fury.

"I’m glad I could be of use." His voice was devoid of

emotion. Just as it had been every time, every time

except last night, since his wedding night, when he’d

faced death head on and survived through sheer

strength and force of will.

Desire for revenge, yes that had played a large part in

his recovery too.

But tonight wasn’t about revenge, tonight was, like she

had said, about love.

Not the sharing though, but the slaying.

By sleeping with another you were sticking two fingers up at the love

that still raged inside a body, when it shouldn’t, when

you knew it shouldn’t, but couldn’t help it anyway.

"Don’t act like it was that simple." The blonde urged,

moving closer to him, able to because of the bonds they shared.

"No, you’re right."

"I am?" The tough reporter was close to tears, he got a

kick out of that.

"Yes. How can I love Helen now, when I’ve cheated on

her with a woman just as brilliant and as beautiful as she."

Chloe lay her head against his chest, unwilling to let him

see the bitterness in her eyes. "Do you, then?"

"Love her?"

"Yes." He could barely hear her, with her luscious mouth

pressed into his hot skin.

"The heart is weak. It’s so unfair, but at least Clark

didn’t try to kill me."

"Not knowingly, granted, but his ignorance has killed

something inside you Chloe, don’t deny to me."

The blonde sat up, uncaring when the sheet fell away,

"it’s too early for all these meaningful conversations."

He smiled sadly, "I’m going to let everyone know what

happened tonight, you know that don’t you?"

Her head drooped against her chest, her whispered ‘no’,

was barely audible.

"Yes Chloe, it’s for the best… best for both of us." His

eyes searched hers, not trying to convince, but informing

her of the truth.

The cliché that ‘ the truth would set them free’ had never been so apt.

A fresh wave of humiliation mixed with an older pain

ripped through her aching body.

She nodded, and he pressed a kiss to her fore head. "I’ll

deal with everything… you just concentrate on moving on."

Her hand came up unwittingly and crashed down again

onto his bare skin.

"How dare you! How dare you say that! Move on? You

hypocrite, I wished you’d died! I hate you, I hate you."

Her voice rose and died just as quickly, her passion left

her limp and weeping into his expensive silk pillows.

A kiss was pressed against her bare back, and she was alone.

Chloe was suddenly reminded of a phrase, from one of the poems,

she’d studied at school she spoke out loud, hoping her

lover, that word made her cringe, might catch it as he left her.

"How will my life contain this hour?"

Lex turned at the raw desperation in her voice, so un Chloe-like.

Grey trousers now concealed himself from her, and he chuckled fondly.

"Whitsun Weddings, Philip Larkin, and you might well ask"

He turned to go, before pausing and shutting the door

again, she scrambled up, wanting to hear every last parting word.

"I asked myself the very same thing as I clung to life in

the depths of an ocean so deep and so dark it felt like

death itself, but I found, and you should remember this,

that when a person copes they don’t even notice…"

The door closed.
