Summary: Lex and Chloe’s life together in the future. Engaged and already in love. Features articles on the couple as seen through the eyes of Adam Fienne, a Daily Planet reporter. Will showcase the lives of Chloe and Lex, as they plan their wedding and get married. Chlex all the way. Minor Clois and Plana.
Author’s note: Everyone in this world is happy-there aren’t issues with Clark or Lionel, those will be saved for other stories. Adam Fienne is a gay Daily Planet columnist for the society pages and will be reporting on the Luthor family and extensions thereof-not Lois because she’s family and she just can’t. Clark isn't Superman yet-I feel that Clark becomes Superman when he gets his Daily Planet gig and right now they are only sophomores in college.
Chapter One:
Billionaire Playboy No Longer: Luthor Heir Engaged
Grab those Kleenexes ladies-it looks like the heir to the Luthor fortune, Lex Luthor, 25, has proposed to long time girlfriend, Chloe Sullivan, 20, leaving those gals out there super depressed. The two have been romantically involved since the beginning of her senior year of high school, keeping it a secret until she graduated top of her class. To the non-believers out there, the future Mr. and Mrs. Lex Luthor are very much in love, as their close friends were able to spare a few words:
“As a witness of all of Lex’s doomed marriages and relationships, if you can even call them that, I can honestly say that this time, it’s the real thing-no big conspiracies or forced marriages induced by crazy women, just pure, unadulterated love,” Clark Kent.
“Do you think this will truly last, or is this another one of Mr. Luthor’s attempts at happiness?”
“Honestly, there isn’t anything as a ‘sure thing’ but if anyone’s going to find it, Chloe and Lex will in each other, so yea, I do think they have a great shot at happiness,” Bruce Wayne.
“The two of them are crazy in love-always have been, possibly even from the time they first met in Smallville all those years ago,” Lana Lang-Ross.
Not much is known about the blonde reporter or her relationship with the billionaire, as the young heir to LuthorCorp has made sure to keep his lady-love out of the prying eyes of the media, but from what we can gather, the two are very much in love and Chloe Sullivan is a woman loved by many, even our very own editor, Perry White.
“She takes everything in stride and never once lets things get to her-maybe because she knows what it’s like to be on both sides of the tape recorder. It’s hard not to love her. All I have to say is that Luthor better take care of her, ” Perry White, talking about Ms. Sullivan’s response to the media limelight she occasionally receives.
Rumors have been circulating regarding the size and make of the ring and how Mr. Luthor proposed, but nothing has been confirmed yet. All we know is that there are thousands upon thousands of women that are extremely sad at losing the playboy billionaire, who as shown in the picture below is very much in love with his fiancée. (Picture: Lex and Chloe holding hands while shopping in Metropolis.)
Stay tuned for more coverage on the upcoming nuptials of the two lovers.

~The Penthouse-breakfast time around 7:30 a.m.~
“Lex,” groaned Chloe as she placed the article down on the island in the kitchen of the Metropolis penthouse shared by the two lovers.
“Yea? What’s the matter sweetie,” asked Lex coming into the luxurious kitchen and placing a loving kiss on Chloe’s lips.
“What’s the matter? What’s the matter?!?!?! Can you please explain to me why the whole world now knows that we’re now engaged, even though you only proposed to me last night,” exclaimed an exasperated Chloe, shoving the Daily Planet article in his hands.
Lex scanned the article quickly and then, much to the dismay of his fiancée, chuckled.
“This isn’t funny Lex. Everyone knows now. Didn’t you want to tell them ourselves? Oh God. My dad, I’ve gotta tell him before he reads this. Argh,” sighed a frustrated Chloe, as she began pacing the room, looking for the phone.
“Will you relax,” Lex asked taking her in his arms and enveloping her in a hug. “Besides, he already knows.”
And with the confused look on her face he continued, “I had to ask him for his permission, so last weekend when you couldn’t come with me to Smallville because of your paper, I took the opportunity to go ask Gabe for your hand in marriage.”
“You asked? And he gave it to you, I’m assuming,” Chloe questioned Lex with her hazel eyes.
“Of course I asked. I know he likes me and he has gotten used to us being together, but I didn’t want to be a dead man, so I asked. And of course he gave it to me-no one can resist the Luthor charm,” said a smirking Lex.
“You’re lucky I love you.”
“I love you too.”
She loved this. Having him tell her that he loved her and being the man that no one got to see, not even Clark. He was so caring and loving and most of all, he was hers. She loved this man with all her heart and could not wait to marry him. Picturing their life together, she fantasized the two of them entwined in silk sheets, making love; she could also picture beautiful babies with her eyes and the gingery red curls he had before the meteors fell. She couldn’t wait to be a mother, to give Lex one of the things he wanted most in life. He would a great father, she knew it. He would give his kids whatever they wanted and because of his own relationship with Lionel, he would make sure that they felt loved and that he was there for them no matter what. There would be no European boarding schools or non-affectionate responses-she would make sure of that.
“What are you thinking about,” asked an amused Lex, as he sat there watching her with hooded eyes.
“You,” she responded, biting her lip, knowing it drove him wild, or so he claimed.
“Oh yea, what about me,” he asked getting of the barstool on the island table and stalking his way toward her, eyes hooded with desire.
“Hmm, just that you’d be a great husband and father.”
“Yea? Why don’t I show you how great a husband I can be? Let’s go practice making those babies,” suggested Lex, as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.
“God. You’re impossible...mmm...Lex, stop, I have to run some errands,” she responded unenthusiastically as Lex began to graze her collar bone with his lips, slowly making his way up to her neck and eventually her lips, where she was pulled into a passionate kiss, in which her and Lex’s tongues fought for control.
“I’m...not...stopping...you...go...ahead...leave,” Lex responded placing a kiss on various parts of her face and neck with each word.
She finally gave up, as she felt the unmistakable hardness of his desire and led him into the bedroom, where she would be ravished well into the afternoon.
~The Penthouse-Later in the afternoon around 3:00~
Chloe moaned softly as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and turned to see the love of her life, lying contently beside her, wrapped up in the black sheets.
Placing a soft kiss on his pale shoulder, she moved to get out of bed, but found she couldn’t, as strong arms placed a tighter hold around her waist, pulling her closer.
“I know you’re awake now,” chuckled an amused Chloe.
“Yea, but I’m still tired,” groaned Lex, as he moved to tighten his hold on Chloe and place her in his arms, so that he lay on his back, while she rested her head on his chest. “Although, I can’t blame you, we’ve had a few long nights,” drawled Lex, insinuating exactly what naughty things they just took part in this morning and most of last week.
He looked down to see her blush a nice red color and failed to hold back a chuckle.
“You’re so cute when you blush.”
“Thanks,” responded Chloe sarcastically.
Whatever Lex was going to say or do next was cut of by the shrill sounds of his cell phone.
“Luthor,” he answered in his customary way.
“Ah, Lex, I guess congratulations are in due my boy. You’ve done good Lex. She’s a keeper that one. Now, where is my beautiful future daughter in law? I want to congratulate her as well,” spoke the voice of Lionel Luthor.
After he began dating Chloe, things with his father got better. They were in no way, shape or form like the Kent men, but now, they weren’t trying to kill each other or outdo each other. They worked past their problems and although it seemed too good too be true, Lionel had let Lex have his own space, allowing him to do the work he wanted to. And all that was due to the petite blonde cuddled up to his side. God, how he loved this woman.
“For you.”
“Hello,” asked Chloe into the phone.
“Chloe, darling, how are you? Lex been treating you good? Oh, and congratulations by the way. Welcome to the family,” Lionel’s voice came all too rushed from the other end.
“Whoa, slow down Lionel. And thank you.”
“So how did he propose? Was it any good? Did he do it in private like I told him too,” Lionel began firing questions at her yet again.
“Lionel, you sound way too much like a giddy school girl, asking her best friend about a date. Please, stop. Besides, I thought I was the only reporter in the family. Oh and I think Lex is about to die laughing from the image I created with the giddy school girl and then where would I be?”
“Sorry, my dear, it’s just that you are so much better than the filth he used to date and I am so happy he finally proposed. It’s been long overdue. Well, I have to run, why don’t you come over for dinner sometime? And bring that son of mine too.”
“I will. Bye,” responded Chloe, hanging up with her future father in law. “So, what do you wanna do now,” Chloe asked Lex, as she placed the cell phone on her side of the bed. “And no repeats of this morning. I love you and more than anything love making love to you, but if we keep going at it like bunnies, I’ll be dead from being too tired and then where would you be?”
“Fine, have it your way you vixen. How about we go tell our news to everyone back home?”
“Mmm…that sounds good. Let me go get in a quick shower and then we’ll leave.”
“I could join you in there. Ya know, I wash your back, you wash mine-we’ll save time and water,” Lex said, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
“Argh, you are impossible,” Chloe exclaimed stepping into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.
He chuckled as he heard the shower turn on and went to make a few calls.
“Alonzo, hey it’s Lex. How are things outside the building?”
“Oh man there are about a billion reporters here, camped out waiting for you and Chloe to make some sort of an appearance.”
“Crap, I was hoping they’d not be here-you know give us some privacy.”
“Dude, they’re reporters and you are Lex Luthor and that means anything or anyone near you is subject to all this media and spotlight. Although, I must commend you in keeping Chloe out of the media.”
“Yea, you’d be surprised at what I’d do for her. I just don’t want them to make her out to be something she’s not. We’re happy and I don’t want anything to ruin that.”
“Yea, I hear you man. So what are we gonna do? You are leaving right? Isn’t that why you called and asked for the security detail?”
“Chloe wants to go to Smallville for the weekend so I thought we’d leave now, but I guess we’re gonna have to chill here till things cool down.”
“Maybe not,” replied Alonzo slyly.
“Well, whatever you do to get rid of them make sure it’s legal and binding. I need to get my girl out of here before she drives me insane,” Lex said laughing good-humouredly.
“No problem and it is legal, don’t worry. I’ll just let it slip that a recently engaged billionaire was spotted in town with his fiancée shopping for the wedding.”
“Thanks a lot Alonzo, I owe you. Those reporters can be so pesky.”
“I don’t think Chloe would appreciate that-I mean, she’s probably been aspiring to be a reporter since she could talk.”
Lex chuckled at the man’s response before letting him go to ensure that Chloe and he would be met with a quick getaway that didn’t involve any reporters. On the other hand, he wasn’t averse to just staying home with a certain blonde reporter that just finished her shower. Lex sat there, thinking about the blonde spitfire and just how the two came to be.
There she was, happily lying there on one of the comfy couches of the Talon, her head in the lap of her best friend-a best friend that happened to also be his younger half-brother, Lucas. The two friends met in some club in metropolis and hit it off immediately, but unfortunately for them, they never made plans to keep in touch, so imagine both their surprises when Lucas rolled into the small town where Chloe resided. She immediately jumped into Lucas’ arms telling him all about fate and karma and grilling him about how long he was going to be staying in the cow town. The rest is history, as Lucas ended up staying indefinitely with Lex in the Castle and thus, was able to stay in constant contact with Chloe. Jealousy would run rampant in Lex at the thoughts of his brother and the blonde reporter, but then he would remember he shouldn’t be having those thoughts of her in the first place. But then why couldn’t he get the picture of the two of them spooned up in his bed, tangled in the sheets out of his mind? There was no use, he was besotted with the high school senior and determined to make her his.
He thought he might find competition in Lucas for Chloe’s affections and was planning on confronting his brother about his intentions towards Chloe, but unfortunately for him, Lucas had the same ideas.
[Flashback of Lucas confronting Lex]
“Lex, there’s no really easy way to say this, so I’m just going to. Do you like Chloe, you know more than a friend?”
“Why would you say that Lucas,” asked Lex suddenly interested in the papers he was looking at when Lucas barged into the study.
“Cut the bullshit Lex. I’ve seen the way you look at her when you think no one else is, but guess what? I do. You get this stupid ass grin on your face every single time she enters and you pretend not to care, but I know you do. You go through great lengths to make sure she gets home safely or has a fresh cup or two of her almond mocha, a flavor which I might add, you only starting serving once you realized it was her favorite. She’s my best friend Lex and you may be my brother, but you can’t hurt her. I’d never forgive you. So once again, what are your intentions with Chloe?”
“You’re right Lucas, I’m completely enamored with the girl. I tried to tell myself that she was too young or that I was her father’s boss, her best friend’s brother or other best friend’s best friend, but I just can’t anymore. I want her to be mine and I am willing to fight with even you for her,” Lex spoke in a passionate, yet dangerous tone.
“Whoa, no need to bite my head off. I love Chloe Lex, but only as a friend. Besides she has her sights set on a certain person I know and let me tell you, it isn’t the local farm boy Clark, Pete, any other jock or me. So who does that leave” Lucas asked Lex, not caring if he was being a taunting younger brother.
[End flashback-back to the Talon flashback]
‘So predictable,’ thought Lucas, as he spied Chloe and Lex taking small glances at each other.
“You two are so obvious,” Lucas chastised Chloe.
“What are you talking about,” asked Chloe sitting up and then groaning at the loss of comfort.
“You and Lex. It’s obvious you two like each other. Why don’t you go for it and just ask him out?”
“I can’t Lucas.”
“Why not? He likes you I promise.”
“He told you that?”
“I just know,” replied Lucas. He couldn’t just tell Chloe about his brother’s affections, that’d be like breaking some from of trust between the two of them.
“Okay, let’s say he does like me. We can’t go out. I’m just a fregin’ high schooler and he’s this big famous billionaire business tycoon and Lucas…I just…argh, he doesn’t like me okay.”
“Fine, so do you give up on him yet?”
“No, but I need to get my mind off him, maybe find some meteor freak to date and then spend a few days in the hospital. How ‘bout that,” replied Chloe sardonically.
“Umm, or you could let me set you up on a blind date with one of my friends.”
“Ugh fine, I’ll go. He better not try to kill me or anything. Call me with the time and place. I gotta go finish Torch stuff. See ya,” replied Chloe heading out of the Talon.
This was an age-old argument between the two of them, so it was a complete shock to Lucas that she allowed him to set this up. There wasn’t really friend he had in mind, just a certain half-brother of his. It wouldn’t really be a lie. After all, Lex was his friend.
“What are you doing tomorrow night,” asked Lucas to Lex, while sliding into the booth of the local coffee shop.
“Tomorrow,” questioned Lex and at Lucas’ nod replied “Nothing, why?”
“Wrong, you’ve got a date with a certain blonde reporter we all know and love-just set up the time and place,” Lucas replied, sounding confident and yet, on the inside, feeling like he was about to be verbally attacked by his older brother.
“What mean I have a date? What have you done?”
“Look, you two are the most oblivious people in the world and that’s saying something considering the prom queen and the farm boy usually win that one, but I am sick and tired of you two skating around each other. Now, Chloe, for whatever reason and let thank that reason, has allowed me to find her a suitable blind date and I promised her one that wouldn’t want to kill her. So, knowing how enamored you are with her, I volunteer you. Plus, I don’t think you’d harm her in any way. And you better not.”
“You do realize that she can take care of herself? I mean with you, Clark, Pete, her father, Lana and me on occasion all watching her and taking care of her, you’d think she’d be sick of it all.”
“Stop avoiding Lex and yea, she is sick of it all. Why do you think she comes to the Castle all the time? So, will you? I haven’t told her who I was gonna get so you could surprise her. You like her, she likes you. Please, she needs this.”
On Lex’s part, he sat there acting as if this was no big deal, but in truth, this was all he could ever want. All he needed was one chance, just one, to show her that he did care about her and that he wanted her. Not wanting to be eager, he agreed to Lucas’ blind date on the premise that Lucas get her to Metropolis and set the dinner reservations under Lucas Luthor, so that she would be surprised. Well, maybe surprised was too less of an expression-possibly shocked would work well.
“What are you thinking about,” asked Chloe towel drying her longer than shoulder hair.
“Lucas and how he set us up.”
“Yea, pain in the ass Luc, who tells everyone we know that he was responsible for us two getting together. I mean, it’s was just luck he happened to be your brother and my best friend. But still, I owe him one, I think for a really long time.”
“Well, it wouldn’t be Lucas if he didn’t tell anyone. He’ll tell our kids for sure.”
“Kids,” questioned an amused Chloe.
“Umm, well I assumed that you would want kids and well, I thought…”
“Luthor, you are too cute sometimes,” chuckled Chloe.
She loved catching him at odd moments and busting his chops. Of course she wanted to have his kids-she’d do anything for him and having children was only a small something.
“Luthors aren’t cute-we’re debonair.”
“Yea, you go practice being debonair while I get my bag and then we can leave.”
And as she left the room to grab her bag, Lex patiently stood there waiting for her return, when the two of them would leave for their trip to Smallville.
