Here In My Room
This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white.
You enter in full blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight...
Blah. Blah. Blah. Pointless conversations. Lex resisted the urge to gag as he nodded his head to whomever was talking now. Lex felt like his life was stuck on repeat. Everything was always the same. Same conversations, same people, same boring parties. Kiss ass. Hollow compliments. Empty promises. And there he was entangled in it, his busty brunette trophy date stuck to his side.
What was her name again? Angela? Annie? Not that it mattered anyway. Tomorrow, after she had fulfilled her purpose, she’d just be one more nameless face added to Lex’s long list of conquests.
“Lex... can we go back to your place soon?” His date all but whined.
“No,” he replied shortly, lifting up his champagne glass and taking a sip. He froze. He saw her through the bottom of his glass. Standing no more than ten feet away from him in a black silk dress. Blonde hair swept up elegantly, green eyes sparkling as she smiled, coloring the entire room.
Chloe.
It had been so long since he’d seen her. Four years. Four years since he’d stupidly walked away from her. She had been a senior at Metropolis University when it ended. They’d been dating since the summer after her senior year of high school and he had never been so... content. They’d had the perfect relationship. It started slow, neither wanting to rush whatever was going on. The sex was... amazing, to say the least. Both were independent, not needing to see each other everyday, not needing the commitment. It went undefined for the longest time.
A couple weeks after their one year “anniversary,” Lex asked Chloe if he could see her exclusively and they became “official.” Lex began taking Chloe to social events. When asked who she was he’d answer, “my girlfriend.” The paparazzi went nuts. Word got out that Chloe was a journalism major and the paparazzi had a field day. Lex Luthor dating a reporter? It was front page news. Everyone wanted to know everything Lex’s newest fling. Was she the daughter of a business tycoon? A European royal? A model? Actress? Imagine everyone’s surprise when they learned that the snarky little blonde who had seemingly come out of nowhere and snatched up the cities most eligible bachelor, was actually from Smallville and was the daughter of Lex’s former plant manager.
A year turned into two, and then three. Chloe and Lex were blissfully happy and their relationship was going strong. They were serious, but not overly so. Chloe had her own apartment and Lex had his. But as the weeks and months wore wore on, Chloe spent less time at her place, and more time at Lex’s. She had a residential toothbrush. A couple pairs of panties in the dresser. And two or three outfits in Lex’s closet. When Lex was called away on business trips, he insisted that Chloe stay in his penthouse during his absence. Then, one night after Lex had returned from a two week trip to Japan, he lay in his bed with Chloe snuggled up to him, he brought up the idea of living together.
Two weeks later Chloe had moved in with Lex.
Word got out about the move and the speculation began. Lex and Chloe’s relationship was swiftly bumped from ‘semi-serious’ to ‘very serious.’ New rumors popped up every time the couple was seen in public. And then they disappeared without a trace. A month came and went without so much as a sighting. The rumors spread like wildfire and the paparazzi combed the city looking for ‘Metropolis’ Favorite Couple.’
Meanwhile... Lex and Chloe were enjoying a much needed vacation in St. Thomas, a small island of the Virgin Islands. Their days were spent taking in all that the secluded island had to offer. Their nights, making love, over and over again. After a month, the two returned rested, tan and with a secret. Forty-eight hours after their return, someone noticed something different about Chloe. On a certain hand on a particular finger, that had been bare before, now rested a very particular type of ring. And their secret was revealed. Lex and Chloe were engaged.
The wedding date was announced, the planning started, the invitations went out. Then a month before the wedding, it all came to an abrupt stop. The couple were the only two that knew the reason why. It ended because of three little words. During an emotional round of love making, Chloe breathed out ‘I love you’ to Lex. For the first time. Three and a half years together and they’d never said those words. They’d never needed too. And Chloe’s confession scared the crap out of Lex. He’d never consciously though about whether or not he ‘loved’ Chloe. He liked spending time with her, he liked who he was around her, he liked the way she made him feel, and those were the extent of his thoughts.
At first, Chloe was understanding, thinking the reason he wouldn’t say it because of everything he’d been through in Smallville. So she didn’t say it again. But after a couple of weeks, when she said it again and all did Lex was shoot her an uncomfortable half smile, she called it into question, which resulted in a huge fight and ultimately, the end of them. When Chloe had asked why he couldn’t say it, or at least acknowledge that she did, Lex answered, “Because I don’t know if I love you.” Chloe told him through tears that she couldn’t marry a man who didn’t love her and that was it. He walked out of his penthouse to take a drive and when he came back three hours later, Chloe and the majority of her stuff was gone. Movers came a few days later to collect the rest of her stuff.
