Chloe's thoughts are in italics
She scurried as fast as her feet could take her. One foot in front of the other. Breathing heavily, her heart pounding. She pushed open the heavy double doors. Rushing past the people, listening to the tapping over the keyboards, the various conversations going back and forth. The sound of her boss came closer as she got closer to the action.
“Lois, you got the cover story on the Luthor divorce.” Parry shouted as he handed her the story.
“It’s about time Lois!” Chloe said un easy as she looked at her heavy breathing cousin.
“Sorry I was late.”
“It wouldn’t be the first time.” A familiar farm boy voice entered her ears.
“Ha ha Smallville. I get to interview your favorite billionaire.”
“When did that happen? I thought Lex was happy?” Chloe broke the tension between the two bickering children.
“Lana did tell me she was fed up with him.” Clark’s eyes skimmed down the story he was supposed to write. He was supposed to be training with Jimmy. Jimmy was going to train him on the ball that Lex Luthor would be throwing the next weekend.
“Since when do you care about Lex? I thought you hated him.” A concerned Lois asked.
“Yeah well…” Chloe rushed off to get some research done, and grab a cup of coffee.
“I’ll never understand her.” Lois said.
Chloe typed in some gibberish, printed out what she needed, and rushed out of the Daily Planet, to get some coffee. On her way to the coffee shop, she saw Gazelle T. Chloe groaned as she passed by her. She worked for a gossip magazine, called “Extra!”. Chloe hated that magazine. It was bad enough she was addicted to reading the gossip, about celebrities.
The cold wind whipped across her face, as she pushed open the doors to Star Bucks.
“Back so soon?” Said the cashier.
“The usual.”
Chloe heard two bickering voices enter the coffee shop. She turned around and groaned to herself.
“Well you must have realized how I felt.” Lana grumbled as the door closed behind her.
“I’m tired of playing your feelings game Lana. I thought the divorce was finalized.” Lex was tired of hearing Lana’s voice, and just wanted to go home.
“There’s something you forgot to sign.” Lana handed him the papers.
“I already signed the divorce papers.” He said sternly.
“Not the house papers. Part of that house is still mine Lex. I’m still a Luthor.”
“Not until this afternoon. I’m having an agent change your name, to your maiden name.”
Lana couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“If you do, I’ll,”
“You’ll what? Blackmail me? That’s so low even for you. If you’ll excuse me, I have a headache.” Lex walked up behind Chloe, who’s coffee was in front of her.
“Miss? Your coffee.”
“Oh! Sorry. Thanks.” Chloe went and sat down, and hoped that Lex wouldn’t see her.
“Chloe?”
Too late
“Hi Lex.” Just play cool. Maybe he won’t notice.
“Did you hear that?”
Too late again.
“Hear what?” [I/]Maybe if I just play dumb..[/I]
“Our argument? I swear that girl!”
“Is he talking about me?” Lana shouted. She never left the building.
“NO!” Chloe & Lex both shouted.
“How’ve you been? I haven’t seen you in a while.”
Now he starts to notice me.
“Umm yeah. I’ve been kinda busy with the Planet and all.”
“Would you like to go to lunch with me?”
Hmm.. lunch with Lex.
“I don’t know.”
“He’ll make you pay for your meal.” Lana said and left.
“She’s lieing. We’re not the best of friends today.”
“So I noticed. Sure. Where at?”
“The café by the Planet. My treat.”
“Sure.”
