Chapter One The Dance and First date
Chloe Sullivan is a very happy person. She is working her dream job even if it is being a lowly intern with no pay, She thinks this as she arrives at her cousin Lois' apartment. When she enters the humble abode of her cousin, Lois is sitting on her sofa flipping through her channels. When the tall brunette notices her cousin she smiles and says "Hey cuz lets go out tonight to a club to celebrate."
"Celebrate, what pray tell are we celebrating?" She asks curiously and cautiously smiles at her crazy over zealous cousin.
"Well my baby cousin lets see, your back in the city even though you'll be leavein' in about two days, I aced my headache inducing paper, you've finally gotten over that guy, what's his face, your working your dream job," pick one.
Chloe tunes out for a moment, and is slightly stunned, is she really over Clark She realizes she hadn't thought about him in a few weeks she'd been too busy, now when she thinks of the farm boy her heart no longer does summersaults, and the nauseous making anger is gone. She looks at her cousin, who looks back expectantly then Chloe says "Where are we going?"
Lois puts a michievious smile on her face and answers, "C'mon lets go, it's a surprise."
Lex sits in a night club in Metropolis trying to forget his father Lionel Luthor permanently blind and played on his best friend's mother's maternal instinct to get her to work for him. He still hadn't found out his father's angle on that, he stops thinking for a moment and turns to watch all the dancers when suddenly he notices a familiar short blonde haired girl with a taller brunette. Both were just sitting down with a drink in their hand. He puts on a smile and heads over to them. he walks up to their table and lightly taps the blonde on the shoulder praying he is right and it is who he thinks it is. When the blonde turns Lex realizes that it is indeed Chloe Sullivan and he sees recognition in her eyes. "A little far from Smallville aren't you Miss Sullivan." She smiles that thousand watt smile and Lex feels a tug in his heart. The girl next to her narrows her eyes and crosses her arms over her chest and begins to say, "Look pal-"
"Care to dance Miss Sullivan?" Lex asks cutting off the brunette with her and surprising them both.
Chloe looks to Lois with a slight pleading look in her eyes, the brunette girl rolls her eyes but nods all the same.
They get out on the dance floor just as a slow song begins. they drift in slow circles. they dance for a few moments before Lex asks "Who are you with Miss Sullivan?"
"Oh that's my cousin Lois Mr. Luthor, I‘m staying with her while I‘m interning at the planet." she says peering up at him.
He nods and says "Please call me Lex, Mr. Luthor is my father."
"Sure if you call me Chloe." He smirks at her and they spend the rest of the dance in silence.
To Chloe it only seems like a few minutes when Lois taps them on the shoulder and says, "Hey Chlo' they're closing in a few." She sees her cuz nod and then she turns turns back to Lex and Chloe tells him, "I had a nice time Lex."
"Me too," he says a little dazed.
On the way back to Lois' apartment she says "I can't believe you left me alone for three hours for Lex Luthor notorious playboy this was supposed to be an all girls 'no boys allowed' celebratory thing," she peaks at her cousin who is staring at the window and notices she's not even paying attention and continues on her rant, "your not even listening to me are you"
"Huh," the petite blonde murmurs.
"Oh never mind," Lois grumbles.

Lex could not stop thinkng about dancing that night with Chloe the night before, how her body aligned perfectly with his like two pieces of a jig saw puzzle. He cursed himself again for not getting her cousin's number and no one under his employ could find the number of her cousin. He sighed in frustration and runs his hand over his head, and stares out his large window in his office in Luthorcorp. A few moments later his secretary, an older women with a kind smile and eyes, lays a post-it note on his desk on it is a phone number and below is written 'Lois Lane's phone number' making a mental note to give his secretary a generous bonus he picks up the phone and quickly dials the number. After three rings a voice sounds on the other line "Lane here"
"Hello Miss Lane may I speak to Chloe?" he says hoping she is there.
"Yeah hang on, CUZ YOU'VE GOTA PHONE CALL!" Lois yells in Lex's ear.
He hears the shifting of phone handlers and then, "Hello," Lex's heart pounds in his chest almost painfully and his suave coolness is thrown out the window and nervousness and fear of rejection sets in.
"Chloe this is Lex Luthor," he begins to tap his pen against his desk in nervousness.
"Oh Hi Lex what can I do for you," She asks pleasantly surprised.
"I was wondering if you would enjoy dinner with me tomorrow night say around seven,"
"I'd love to Lex," she smiles happy at this unexpected turn of events
"Great i shall pick you up at six forty-five," he says smirking into the phone.
"Great I'll see you then,"
"Yes you certainly will good-bye Chloe,"
"Bye Lex," he heard a click and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two cousins in Lois' bedroom the following night, as Chloe gets ready for her date. The petite blonde stands in front of the full-length mirror with two dresses trying to choose between the two. The room looks like a twister hit clothes strewn everywhere in Chloe's quest to find the perfect outfit. "-Look cuz all I'm saying is Luthor has the ability to break your heart he is kind of a manwhore." Lois says from where she is sitting on the bed.
"You know Lo' you are kinda rainin' on my parade." Chloe smiles falsely slightly cvexed at her cousin's attempt to talk Chloe into canceling on Lex.
"I'm sorry Chlo' but I don't want to see you get hurt again, I mean you just got over Clark. I really don't think you want Baldy to be your rebound guy."
"Look Lois I really like him ok, so I'm going to go tonight" she says deciding on a dress and quickly putting it on, having done her hair and make-up before hand, then continues,
"I've only got one more day left in my internship then I'm going back to Smallville ,and I, we decide to persue a relationship then we will have enough problems with out you adding or meddling in them." Lois is stunned and slightly proud at how independent her cousins become.
The door bell rang and Chloe quickly goes to answer it. Lex is stunned into silence at the vision of beauty before him, sure he'd noticed that she was cute before but standing there in front of him in a black dress that ended tight above her knees it was low cut without looking whorish the straps coming to hook together behind her neck with matching strappy heels. after he regains his speaking capabilities he said, "Shall we." She beams at him and nods closing the door behind her.
Lex takes her to a quaint small romantic restaurant. After they order the food they begin to talk at first about random stuff from politics to art. Then the conversation turns to the leafy little hamlet they both call home. "Well Mr. Ross has a new girlfriend, Lana and Clark" he responds to her previous question to know about the African American boy.
"Any 'Wall of Weird' stories I missed and how's Clark and Lana?" she asks not feeling anything but friendship towards both brunettes now.
"Surprisingly no, the 'Meteor Freaks' as they have been fondly known haven't made an appearance since your absence, I guess they enjoy the attention. Clark and Lana are still playing the 'just friends card'." He sees no reaction other than curiosity when he answers about the Farm boy and town princess, and that pleases him.
"I also heard your dad was injured is that true," Chloe notices Lex stiffen and was about to say never mind when he does answer
"My father is now permanently blind and is staying with me for 'Father Son Bonding' and Mrs. Kent works for him now."
"I'm sorry about your dad Lex,"
"Don't be Chloe he doesn't deserve your pity," Lex says smirking at knew that Lex and his father didn't have the best relationship, maybe the condition Lex's dad is in will be the push they need to get past all the hurt and mistrust in the past. Appearently they teach mind reading at Luthorcorp. because Lex then said, "My father is only there to meddle in my life Chloe."
They then changed the subject to more cheery topics.
The walk up to Lois' apartment Lex feels nerves take over he knew that she goes back to Smallville, and he wanted to pursue these feelings developing for the blonde next to him, but the question is, did she want to as well. "Chloe do you have a ride back to Smallville?"
"Lois was going to drive me why?"
"Because I was going to give you a ride if you needed one." he says, knowing if he didn't he'd probably chicken out and run and always wonder about the what if's.
"That'd be great actually Lois won't have to drive to Smallville," by then they'd reached the green door of Lois' apartment. He leans in slightly for a kiss goodnight, but giving her enough room to walk away however instead of walking away she reaches up and gently brushes her lips against his. "I'd wanted to do that all night" he whispers as she pulls away. He captures her lips again goes to deepen the kiss pushing her back against the door. neither heard the knob turn, and as the door opens they stumble backwards into the doorway and fall onto the herd wood floor. They look up to see a very pissed off Lois Lane in pj's tapping her bunny slippered clad foot, her hair messy from sleep. Lex quickly gets up and helps Chloe to her feet then quickly leaves mumbling his good-bye to Chloe.
After Lois firmly shuts the door she begins to lecture Chloe, which ends in an argument and Chloe telling her cousin that Lex is taking her home tomorrow.
