Accidentally in Love

Chapter 8: Friends With Benefits

Eventually, Clark did leave but only after indulging in a very heavy make out session. He would've preferred to stay. After he had pulled away from Ollie the last time, Oliver had been all flushed and those soft lips that had brought him so much pleasure were swollen . . . Clark was aroused just thinking about him. Ollie wasn't much help either because he had clearly wanted Clark to stay and tried to get him to do so.

But Clark had held out and for that, he felt his willpower must be out of this world. Well, then again, he was an alien so maybe he had another power? Super willpower? Clark chucked at the thought. It had to be that. How else could he justify being able to walk away from a gorgeous blonde who wanted nothing more than to drag him to bed and have his way with him?

Clark didn't approve of ditching class but for Oliver, he considered it. But it was a journalism class that he needed for his major and more importantly, Chloe was in it. She would have a lot of questions if he didn't show and he couldn't answer the majority of them.

Because Oliver and Clark had decided that they would keep what they were doing a secret. They could announce to the world their friendship but what was going on behind closed doors would stay there. Clark had agreed instantly when Ollie had suggested it. Even Chloe, who he loved and trusted with his life, would be kept in the dark.

He didn't know how she would react to the fact he was in a friends with benefits relationship. She approved of him going after Oliver. She wouldn't have minded him dating Oliver but this? Chloe was pretty open minded, hence her not caring of his sexuality. But he wasn't willing to test her boundaries. Clark wouldn't be able to take it if she looked at him differently because of this.

Especially, since he didn't really understand what was going on himself so how could he ever explain it to anyone else? Clark was shocked that he was the one who suggested it but any doubts he had were removed once Oliver kissed him. Because Oliver was an amazing kisser and Clark silently thanked Lois for being stupid enough to pass him over. He understood that Lois was now in a committed relationship with Grant but really? If he had the option between Grant and Oliver, there was really no competition.

Oh well, if Lois had accepted him, then he wouldn't have gotten his shot and not being with Oliver would've been a tragedy. Therefore, it all worked out in the end.

Clark arrived at his apartment fairly quickly and opened the door slowly, unsure of what he would find on the other side. He came in and shut the door behind him. Silence. Lois was definitely not here and maybe, Chloe wasn't either. Grinning at his luck, he made his way to his bedroom. The room was dark and he moved to turn the lights on when a voice startled him.

"You know, this brings sneaking in after a late night to a whole new level."

Clark almost jumped at the voice. He switched the lights on and saw Chloe sitting on his bed, looking amused.

"Chlo," he said, "Umm, what's up?"

"Don't 'what's up' me mister," Chloe said, standing up, "Want to share where you were last night?"

"I just . . ." Clark started but Chloe cut him off.

"No excuses," Chloe said. "I came in this morning and imagine my surprise when your bed looked like it hadn't been slept in."

"I could've made it early." Clark said but knew he was caught and there was really no point in lying.

"You never came home last night." Chloe pointed out. "I know, Lois and I came in pretty late. I went to your room to say good night and you weren't there." She smirked. "So, what or should I say who kept you all this time?"
