It never crossed anyone's mind that I was still in love with Clark. He's my best friend and maybe I secretly wanted him to be more than that. I would usually act anyway I felt around him but now I contemplated my every move not wanting it to be obvious that I loved being in his presence.
Why did it have to be this way, Is Clark so stupid not to see the perfect person for him is standing right in front him. I know his secret plus other things about him but he still chooses to run after Lana who recently broke of her engagement with Lex for something that no one knows but her. Lana and I may be friends but she spun a web that tangled everyone around her and it was slowly destroying them or should I say us.
"Is something wrong Chlo?" She was brought out of her thoughts by Clark himself.
"Everything's fine."
Chloe didn't expect Clark to be here, she thought he would be off rescuing Lana from whatever she often complained about. She looked up from her files on her desk and caught him eyeing her.
"Is something wrong?" She said remembering she wanted coffee.
Clark looked at her as if he expected her already know what was on his mind.
Why is he standing there like a statue, I don't want to say anything to get him out if his thought because it makes it look like he staring at me right now.
"What's on your mind?" She finally managed to say.
Clark's expression changed as if seeing her for the first time that day. "Lana! I could understand her avoiding me when she was with Lex but why did she break of the engagement."
Chloe shrugged and got up thinking she couldn't wait anymore for a cup of hot coffee. "Let's talk about this after I get some coffee."
Meanwhile Lex was in his office reading about his not so long engagement. Seeing a picture of Lana reminded him of his unborn child which wasn't a good way to bring a child into the world.
'I wonder how Lana is going; she is probably preoccupied at this moment and not dwelling on our relationship.
He suddenly had the urge to go see her so he got in his car and drove to her apartment.
Chloe got her cup of coffee talked to Clark about his Lana situation which was pretty silly but he took it seriously. Chloe was back in the Daily Planet when she laid eyes on someone she thought would be in hiding.
"What are you doing here Mr. Luthor? Made a wrong turn and ended up here."
Chloe didn't want to have any interaction with Lex but figured she couldn't escape it because he was here.
"I see we're not on a first name basis anymore." Lex had to admit she could have been cheekier than usual but today wasn't that day.
"I'm pretty busy, so if you don't mind can you get on with it."
Lex turned around and then sat in her chair. "I came to ask how Lana is doing."
Chloe's eyes grew bright and Lex noticed which made him smile just a little.
Chloe didn't want to here Lana's name anymore and that was all people were talking about Lana this, Lana that, they practically knew more than Lana herself.
"She's fine I guess."
Chloe really wanted to say 'why don't you go ask her since she is pregnant with your child' but quickly changed her mind. They both stared at each other for awhile and then Lex broke the silence by saying something that he might regret.
"Can you keep me updated?"
Chloe didn't want part of this because it would be another secret she had to keep. Not only that but it meant she would have to speak to Lex about Lana which she definitely didn't want to do.
"Lex I don't think I …"
"Chloe, Lana wouldn't let me get near to her so I have to find another way to see how she is doing." Lex hoped she wouldn't refuse him because he needed this.
She actually pitied him for almost a moment but it soon faded. "Why don't you ask one of your guards to do your dirty work for you?"
Lex got up and stood right in front of her. "Because she trusts you."
Chloe stared at him while he was walking away; he came to her to ask her to look after Lana and what made him think she wasn't going to go to Clark with this or maybe that was what he wanted for her to go to Clark. But why would she go to Clark, he doesn't need to know that Lex came to her. This one was between Lex and her.
