It was the night of Clark's 18th birthday and after spending the afternoon with his friends and family he was happy to leave the confusion for the quiet of Luthor Mansion. Walking up the drive he thought back to how his plans for this evening came about.
FlashbackHe was sitting at his favorite table in the Talon drinking his coffee when Lex had come in announcing that he had a surprise.
"Hey Lex," Clark said shaking himself out of the thoughts that had been occupying his mind.
"Clark" Lex stated staring down at him almost bouncing on his heels in apparent excitement.
"What's going on Lex? What's got you all worked up." Clark smiled he liked worked up Lex; it wasn't very often that he got to see Lex's emotions so plain and vivid so he treasured the rare moments.
Lex plopped down (well what could be considered plopping down for him) on the chair beside Clark nodding to Lana to get his regular. Leaning in closer Lex whispered with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "I have a surprise for you."
Clark was just about to ask what it was when Lana came over with Lex's Espresso, nodding her a thank you he got up to leave, leaning down before he left he said into Clark's ear, "You'll have to wait until your birthday, mansion 7:30."
Clark started to protest at the 2 day wait but it was useless Lex was already at the exit.
Coming back the present a great wave of anticipation washed over him at what was to come tonight, it had to be something great to have had Lex excited.
Clark walked into the kitchen entrance and headed down the hall to Lex's study. What he saw made him stop in his tracks there were beautifully wrapped boxes that lead to the study door, all of which seemed to have "open me" written on the top.
Clark stopped in front of the first box and bent down to pick it up. What he found upon opening the box made a smile explode on his face and brought tears to his eyes.
I need the help of the readers! I need your suggestions as to what should be in the boxes; I have a few in mind but need more. The more help I get the faster I get the second chapter out...Thanks
