Chapter One
Chloe and Lana were at the Talon talking and drinking coffee. Just as Chloe took her sip in walks Lex Luthor, to check up on the business. It appears to be slow and he gives Lana a sad face.
“Why so slow?” He asks with his arms out in the open. He leans on the counter and turns to stare at Chloe. Chloe clears her throat and looks at Lana for support.
“It’s usually dead after school. The busiest is the morning rush.” Lana perked up as she went to get Lex a cup of coffee, before he asked. That’s how it always was.
“No coffee today.” He quickly said before she got to the coffee maker. She turned around surprised by his actions.
“Lex Luthor not drink coffee? That would be like Chloe and no coffee.” Chloe couldn’t help but snicker and so did Lex.
“I decided to cut back. I just wanted to check in and see how things were going, but it appears that you have it under control.” He said and left the building.
“Ok was it me or was he incredibly hot today?” Chloe perked up and Lana was surprised. She had no idea that Chloe liked Lex.
“If you like him then why don’t you ask him out?” Lana said as she got stuff ready to make coffee, in case it would get busy.
“Dating really isn’t my thing, I mean, every guy I’ve tried to get involved with either wanted my body heat, or just wanted me dead.” Chloe said in a calm yet sarcastic manor.
“Guys aren’t all that bad Chloe.” Lana said and leaned her elbows on the counter.
“Yeah.” ‘If only Clark would like me, then I would be happy.’ Chloe thought.

Lex hesitated before he got in his car. He couldn’t stand not to ask Chloe that nagging question. ‘Ask her out.’ His other half said. ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’
‘Well I could think of a dozen reasons. Rejection for one.’ He quickly thought. He open the door of his car, and hesitated again. ‘Ask her.’ He shut the door and went back into the Talon.

“Lex, back so soon? Don’t worry you didn’t miss anything.” Lana said. Lex just smirked and nodded his head. He strolled right up to Chloe and almost choked. He froze for a second. Just looking at her was intoxicating, he hoped he wouldn’t pass out.
“Chloe, what are you doing Friday night?” He asked and Chloe looked at him odd.
“Nothing why?” Lex smiled.
***
A club in Metropolis. The lights were glowing of blues and the globe made little and big dots everywhere. This club accepted minors, although they didn’t serve alcohol to them. They’ve had many complaints about it, because of fake I.D’s in the past, but Lex Luthor was a supporter of this club. Chloe and Lex grazed through the crowds of people and made it to the bar.
“What would you like to drink?” Lex shouted over the noise.
“A coke would be fine.” Chloe shouted back. She couldn’t believe that she was out with the sexiest man in Smallville. Although Clark did fancy her thoughts and feelings, she always thought Lex was hot, but never liked him how she liked Clark. Lex ordered their drinks and Chloe took a sip.
“Thanks.” She shouted and Lex nodded his head.
“Wanna dance?” He shouted. Chloe choked on her drink and started coughing. She put her hand over her heart.
“Excuse me?” She asked.
“Do you wanna dance?” He asked again. Chloe felt nervous. The butterflies began creeping up. What was she to do? Lex anxiously awaited her answer and couldn’t help but stare at her.
Lex couldn’t wait any longer. He saw the hesitant look on her face. She was staring off in the distance and not at him. He took her hand and lead her to the dance floor. A slow song came on after the fast one ended. ‘Great timing.’ Chloe thought sarcastically. ‘Ok, breathe in and out, in and out. He’s just a guy, an ordinary yet hot guy. Where’s Clark when I need him?’
Chloe put her hands on his shoulders and stood a few feet apart. They started going around in a circle, and Lex couldn’t take it.
“Chloe, this is so old school.” He got closer to her and she felt afraid and a little uncomfortable. He adjusted her arms further behind his neck. They were face to face. She locked eyes with him and froze. They swayed back and forth, but it was like she had no control.
“Do you have any idea how beautiful you look tonight?” He said to her. Chloe gulped and looked to the side. Lex smirked.
“Chloe, you don’t have to be afraid.” Chloe was tempted to lay her head on his shoulder. It looked comfortable. Plus she was a little tired. She did stay up late doing research for homework. She laid her head on his shoulder and shut her eyes, hoping to fall asleep.
Lex put his head on hers and shut his eyes. Chloe felt a stab of pain in her back. The person dressed in black moved the knife around, to cause more pain and discomfort.
“Aahh!” She yelped and pulled back. Someone had stabbed her in the back. Lex jolted his eyes open and the person in black ran away, with the knife. Lex didn’t even see the person.
“Chloe! Chloe! Are you alright!” Lex asked in panic. Chloe stumbled backwards. Lex turned her around and saw blood dripping from her back. He looked scared.
“Lex.” She whispered and fainted, and he caught her.
