As Chloe looked up into the face of one of the last people she wanted to see at that moment she was a little thrown off by the obvious concern on his face.  But that didn't stop the snark from entering in her voice when she said, "What do you want Lex? Don't you have some kittens you should be torturing somewhere?" Lex felt his lips twitch at the comment recognizing the bravado for what it was. "Well I happened to be passing by when I noticed you barreling your way down the sidewalk in what looked like an attempt to bowl over half the citizens of Metropilis." He watched as her eyes rolled at his blatant exagiration, "And seeing as how the coffee shop is in the other direction I was wondering why you were in such a hurry."  "Why do you care what I was doing?" she said avoiding the queston in his voice. "It's not like we're friends or anything."  "You know Chloe I can still remember a time when we were friends. Good ones in fact in alot of ways I was closer to you than I was to Clark."  "Really?  You know Lex I can't remember the last time we  had a real conversation that didn't include you trying inflict some kind of agenda on me regarding Clark and all the secrets you seem to imagine I know about."  Lex had to remind himself that losing his temper would not be productive but damnit why did she have to bring up Clark?!  "You still haven't answered my question about why you were in such a hurry."  Chloe didn't want Lex to know her business so she opted for a lie,"I was late getting back to the planet from lunch."  A smug smile graced his lips "The Daily Planet's the other way.  Sorry try again and this time if you lie I'll be forced to follow that path I saw you take and find out for myself."  The look on his face left Chloe with little doubt that he would do exactly what he'd just threatened. "You want to know why I was running?" she huffed out, "Because after being given a crappy assignment and wondering why Lois had been given a story that I did all the leg work for by my not-so-wonderful boss I walked into MY sanctuary to find them in the liplock of the century!" Once she'd gotten going it was like she couldn't seem to stop the next words from tumbling out of her mouth, "And if that wasn't enough I can't even call and rant about this to my best friend because he's probably busy doing your ex-wife the none to angelic Lana "constant victim" Lang."  she growled out the last bit while jabbing a finger in Lex's chest so hard that he actually backed up a few steps. "So there that's why I'm upset and that's why I'm taking the rest of the day off! Is there anything else you'd like to know Mr.Luthor?"  Lex watched while her very nice chest heaved and thought there was know time like the present "Yes there is something I'd like to know" before she could explode he asked her something that took all the wind out of her sails "Would you like to have dinner with me?" Lex Luthor had managed to to the one thing that he was sure know one else had ever done left Chloe Sullivan speechless.  She finally seemed to gain some control when a passerby brushed up against her. She looked at him with a slightly stunned expression on her face "Huh?'


Please if anyone is reading this leave a comment for me. 

Ok this story takes place after Lana's return from the dead but before alot of the of the stuff Lex has done he owns the paper but he never had Chloe kidnapped and experimented on.  Chloe knows that she has healing abilty but doesn't know how she uses it yet.  Lana on the other hand will pull alot of the same crap she did on the show.   Why?  Because I hate her and it's my story. So I'd classify this as an angsty, romance AR fic.  And while this is pretty much PG the rating may change as I go along feel free to leave comments and please keep in mind this is the first time I've written a fic.
