The dust clears and life goes on
Private post
I've had an interesting weekend. After everything that happened at the mansion Friday, I spent the evening with Lex up in his room. We talked about the implications of Chloe being in the know when it comes to my secret. I reminded Lex that Chloe did vow to keep my secret. I trust her and I want him to trust her as well. I hope in time he'll come to feel that she's worth confiding in.
On Saturday I went over to the mansion to spend some time with Lex. I wanted to reassure him again that Chloe would never tell my secret to anybody. We talked about stuff, and I admitted to him that I was afraid Chloe would look at me differently. I don't want that. I want her to see me, the Clark she's always known.
Chloe came over Sunday. My parents had gone to the city. I spent most of the morning doing chores, and just as I was finishing up, Chloe appeared on my doorstep. I was hoping she wouldn't look at me differently, but she did. It wasn't bad or anything. She just stared at me a lot and kept looking me up and down like she expected me to do something freaky.
She made up a really lame excuse about why she had come to see me. I told her that if she was expecting me to grow tentacles or something she was out of luck. That broke the tension. She laughed and said she wasn't sure what to expect. She admitted that it was all strange and she probably needed time to get used to the idea that her best friend is not of this world.
Then she asked it. The question I hoped she wouldn't ask. She didn't have to say the word. I knew what she was getting at. Her eyes trailed down to my crotch and lit up with glee. I was tempted to whip it out, just to embarrass her, but the thought of Chloe seeing my penis made me blush. I suppose she could ask Lois, but then Lois would probably ask all kinds of questions and tease Chloe about her sudden interest in my private parts. I reassured Chloe that all my parts were the same as any human's. She touched my cheek and told me that I am awesome. When I saw that little twinkle in her eye, I knew everything would be okay between us.
She also wanted to let me know that Lana had been asking about what was going on with Lex and the ship. Apparently, Lana was there when the Kryptonians asked to be taken to Kal-El. Chloe reassured me that she stifled Lana's enquiring mind. I hope she's right. I don't want Lana to find out the truth. It's enough that Chloe knows. If Lana knew that the meteors that killed her parents were from my home world and brought to earth by my ship, I'm not sure that she'd understand. I wanted to ask Chloe what she thought, but I couldn't bring it up. I couldn't say the words.
Chloe also broke the horrible news that Lois would be returning on Tuesday from her overseas adventures. She joked that she would tell her cousin how much I missed her. Then Chloe promised to make sure Lois stayed far away from me. It was a relief to finally tell Chloe how much I do not want Lois staying at the farm with me. I hate having to do my chores at normal speed. It takes too long.
After that, I made dinner for us. We had a great time talking about normal stuff. My parents got home just as Chloe was leaving. I'd already told her that it was better not to tell my mom and dad that she knew about my alien status. Chloe understood, but as she was saying goodbye to them, she acted squirrelly and Dad asked what was wrong with her. I joked that she and I had just been making out before they'd arrived and Chloe was afraid they would tell on us. Dad got the hint that it wasn't anything I wanted to talk about.
I admit that I still feel apprehensive about Chloe knowing about me, but at the same time, I'm so glad she knows. I've wanted to tell her so many times over the years. Now I have somebody else to confide in about my differences. At least I won't have to make up lame excuses for how I do the things I do.
