Summary: SNIPPETS FROM LEX’S AND CHLOE’S RELATIONSHIP AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN THEIR LIVES. : )
01. Motion
Lex sighed happily as he watched Chloe walk towards him, her arms swinging rhythmically one after another; he could feel his smile widening the closer she came.
02. Cool
“Well, I guess you’re just too cool for school, Lex, seeing you’ve pulled me out of my lecture for a ‘little lunch’”, she said looking at the feast before her.
03. Young
She was considerably younger than those women he normally dated, but she was also considerably smarter and funnier; maybe he thought she was young because he’d known her since she was 17.
04. Last
“You know,” she whispered to him as she lay her head in his lap, “I always thought I’d be the last person you’d fall for”, Lex looked into her green eyes and smiled, Me too…
05. Wrong
Perhaps she was wrong, that there was no way Lex would ever cheat on her, But then he easily could, he’s always surrounded by beautiful women who throw themselves at him, Chloe’s eyes watered slightly.
06. Gentle
Lex gently kissed the top of his wife’s head, as beamed down upon their child who had fallen asleep in her mothers arms.
07. One
Sometimes, Lex became as insecure as Chloe, especially when she met with Clark, and at those low times he couldn’t help but feel as if he wasn’t the only one to love her.
08. Thousand
Chloe’s eyes began to water as the films credits began to roll, looking at Lex with sad eyes she was shocked to find him in a peaceful slumber, Oh, if I could keep a thousand dreams like this.
09. King
Chloe rolled her eyes at the King of the castle, as he attempted to gain control of the children who at that moment, were ravaging his bedroom, So much for a peaceful night…
10. Learn
In the months that Chloe was away on assignments for the Planet, Lex made it his mission to learn every last detail about her, but was pleasantly surprised to find that she had already bared all.
11. Blur
The first few months of wining and dining became a blur to Lex, their relationship had grown so quickly, it was a wonder when it actually started.
12. Wait
Chloe looked at the clock one final time, 1.07am it bleeped, causing Chloe to sigh solemnly and climb into her bed thinking this was how she would spend most of her nights with Lex; cold and alone.
13. Change
His heart seemed to swell with happiness when he realised that she had never changed, but it broke a little when he realised that neither did he.
14. Command
“You don’t own me Lex, you can’t tell me what to do!”
15. Hold
He held her tightly in his arms as she cried herself to sleep, her tears spilling onto his shirt as she grieved for the pain she’d been through.
16. Need
Lex picked up the phone as soon as he was locked in his office dialled Chloe’s number, “Hey, its Chloe, I’m not in so leave a message” she told him in a bubbly voice causing Lex to sink into his chair.
17. Vision
He looked at the beautiful girl in his arms as he thought of the vision Cassandra, how he stood amidst the carnage and wreckage he created.
18. Attention
Why won’t she ever hear me and not the lies, Lex told himself as he looked into her accusing eyes.
19. Soul
He had bared his soul to her and she knew it, but still, Chloe couldn’t keep his pain inside and let it slip out as tears.
20. Picture
His favourite picture of them was when she had sat beside him and surprisingly kissed his cheek just as the camera flashed, showing them beaming, whilst hers was of his back as turned to look at her in the distance.
21. Fool
He was no fool, he knew that people would stare at them as they ventured out in the public, the hidden whispers and silent stares as he would hold and kiss Chloe’s hand.
22. Mad
Chloe could never forget the look of madness gleaming in Lex’s eyes and even though he was ok now, she couldn’t help but feel that one day, he’d slip away from her.
23. Child
Lex laughed happily as he placed a hand over Chloe’s stomach, knowing that in eight months time, he’d be a father.
24. Now
“Don’t,” Chloe whispered into his blue eyes, “Don’t let your past ruin this moment, keep it for now.”
25. Shadow
Chloe couldn’t help but shudder as she watched the darker side of Lex seep through as he revelled in destruction of a rival company, Perhaps he’ll never change…
26. Goodbye
The first time they parted, Chloe felt as it she would never be able to face him again, but she did, and after that, the goodbye’s became less frequent.
27. Hide
She knew that he kept secrets from her, and she also knew that he preferred things that way, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to find out, and then doing so.
28. Fortune
Of course there were accusations that she was in it just for the wealth, but there were also accusations that he was in it because he needed to destroy something else new and innocent; either way, both were wrong they were in it for each other.
30. Ghost
Sometimes at night, Lex could feel the ghost of his mother watching over him, and rather than feeling happy that she as around, he felt afraid that she would be disappointed in him, but Chloe always soothed his cry’s and made him feel as if she would love him no matter what.
31. Book
And they both adored reading, and would read until their eyes hurt and their fingers pained from all the paper cuts, but most of all, they loved reading to each other, listening to the sweet words flow from each others tongues.
32. Eye
And she would silently drown in those blue eyes, secretly wishing that she could stay in those moments forever, falling deeper into this madness called ‘love’.
33. Never
It was easy to say that neither of them had been in such a relationship before, where they were always the priority and not some other girl, or his fathers money; and never had they used this to such an extent as they did, for they loved each other
34. Sing
Lex often wished for Chloe to sing to him, but she never did; perhaps it was because she was afraid of his reaction, or because she was afraid of her own voice…
35. Sudden
The first time Lex showed his feelings towards her, it was so sudden and unreal that Chloe had to wait an entire day to process the events; it was only when he apologised did she realise what he truly meant.
36. Stop
Occasionally, Chloe would pander Lex to give her a story or a run of gossip whenever she entered a dry spell at work, and at those times, Lex had to stop her from sneaking too much, in case it broke her fragile heart.
37. Time
There was never enough time for them, perhaps if there were 34 hours in a day they would be able to be with each other; but time has other thoughts, and forever keeps them waiting.
38. Wash
Sometimes, after another confrontation with his father, Lex would spiral into misery, and would spend the rest of him trying to wash away any part of him that was his fathers son; but he would never be able to do that, leaving him to sleep angrily in Chloe’s arms.
39. Torn
when Chloe stood as a powerful reporter, on the brink of journalistic greatness, she also stood as a woman breaking her love’s heart; and sometimes she chose the wrong path.
40. History
Lex would try to remind himself what life would be like without her whenever he felt the throbbing in his temple; and he was always remember the past, where he was alone and cold.
41. Power
The amount of power he had in those hands of his always caused her to squirm a little; and as he looked into her fearful eyes, he realised that all the power in the world could never make her understand.
42. Bother
She never bothered telling him the whole story, she thought that he didn’t need to know, but sometimes at night, when he looked at her sleeping face, he wished he knew.
43. God
He didn’t believe but she did; “another point to Him” Lex would laugh.
44. Wall
Amongst all the secrecy, Lex would feel trapped and claustrophobic; the tears only came when he realised that he had made the walls that kept her out.
45. Naked
And when she saw those tears slip down his face, he had never felt more naked and exposed, as if she had ripped right through his skin to stare at that lonely, bleeding heart.
46. Drive
“What makes you say I can’t drive, I’m just as good as you!” Chloe would argue, the latter part always remaining in hr mind.
47. Harm
Whenever he saw a drop of blood on her pale skin from another one of her story’s he would vow that there would never be another; but they both knew they were promises he could never keep.
48. Precious
There was nothing more precious to Lex, than the face she made when she realised she was wrong; as it never happened often, he would cherish it whenever it did.
49. Hunger
During her second pregnancy, Chloe became increasingly hungry and was always cantering through the mansion searching for something to stop her ravenous stomach; and all that could help was Lex’s slow humming as he made her her beloved pasta and beans.
50. Believe
Perhaps the most difficult step in their relationship was their inability to believe in one another, there was always some excuse; but when he charged to the hospital after she had fallen through a glass window, stopping everything in his path, she realised that he maybe the only one who truly did believe in her.
