One cold Saturday morning Lex opened the door to the Talon and immediately
saw Clark, Pete, and Chloe sitting at a table not far from the door. He
casually walked over. "Hey Lex what are you doing today?" Clark asked "I
actually have the day off. So what are you talking about?" " Well, we were
just discussing the article I'm writing about principal Kwans Volvo being
set on fire right in the middle of the football field at lunch yesterday."
Chloe said giggling slightly " Why, Miss. Sullivan did you just giggle?"
Lex asked mockingly "Why, Mr. Luther are you mocking me?" Chloe asked in
the same way Lex had " answering a question with a question miss.
Sullivan?" lex asked her obviously beginning to tease, " I'm not the only
one" Chloe replied teasing just as much. " I'm sorry I just never thought
I'd see the day when Chloe Sullivan giggled." " oh yeah its enough to make
headlines" Chloe said full on laughing now " I can see it now 'snarky
reporter giggles' " now lex was laughing, and with that both Pete and Clark
decided to leave them to their witty banter and went in separate
directions, Clark up to talk to Lana. Chloe and Lex just sat there for a
few more minutes and enjoyed their session of verbal judo. After a couple
minutes chloe had finished her coffee and was looking to the counter to see
if there was a line, but when she looked up all she saw was clark and lana
evidently flirting. And with this chloe turned away obviously hurt. Lex
noticed chloes sudden change of emotion and looked to see what she had
previously been looking at. When he saw how openly lana and clark had been
flirting and how it had effected the petite blonde in front of him he
looked back at her and said something that suprized the both of them.
"chloe don't pay any attention to them. If clark doesn't realize how
beautiful and smart you are he doesn't deserve you." With that chloes head
snapped up to look at a very confused looking lex. "wh..what" chloe
stuttered. Both chloe and lex just sat there confused thinking about what
had just been said.
Lex' thoughts ' oh my g-d did I just say that? Where did it come from? It's not a lie either actually it's completely the truth. I mean look at her she's georgous. Oh my g-d lex stop thinking that, she's 18 your 21.'
Chloes thoughts ' oh my g-d did Lex Luther just say I was beautiful, and smart. Oh dear lord he did, lex luther sexiest man in Smallville- oh my g-d now I'm thinking he's sexy, eh but he is g-d chloe get a grip this is lex were talking about here. " Well I've got to go" lex said, snapping chloe back to reality and leaving quickly still looking quite confused. Seconds after lex left pete walked up to where chloe was still sitting looking just as confused as lex had upon leaving. " hey chloe. Whats wrong you look upset?" pete asked looking concerened. Once more snapping back to reality chloe looked up to see pete sitting across from her. " huh. Oh! I'm fine just thinking really hard" chloe said, emphasizing the really. " um I better get going I have chores to do before my dad gets home. I'll see you later pete." And with that chloe got up and left. Right after chloe left pete walked up to where lana and clark were still talking. " hey guys do you have any idea why chloe is acting so weird? She wouldn't tell me anything" pete asked clark and lana. " no she was acting normal the last time I spoke to her." Clark replied not looking away from lana. And with that pete walked away realizing that they were obviously to wrapped up in each other to help him.
( later that afternoon at the luther estate)
' what am I doing I cant think about her like this shes only 18 and an employees daughter. Oh but g-d I cant stop thinking about her. Why cant I stop thinking about her?' he thought pacing his office.
(Same time Sullivan household)
'chloe get a grip, this is lex luther. You are stretching a compliment trying to make it more because clark never compliments you like that' chloes train of thought was cut off by the perturbing sound of the phone. Chloe slowly got up from her lying position on her living room floor to see who was interrupting her train of thought "hello" chloe answered with very little enthusiasm. " chloe it's lex " "lex? Why are you calling me?" chloe asked " well the conversation we had earlier really got me thinking and I thought maybe I could take you to dinner and show you that there are other guys out there that would love to go out with you" chloes eyes widened in surprise "um..okay" "alright its not exzctly formal but it's not casual either okay I'll pick you up at the talon at 6:30." "okay I'll see you then." Chloe hung up the phone and her brain started working again ' oh my g-d what did I just agree to ..what am I going to wear.' Chloe got up and ran to her room. Meanwhile back at lex' estate, lex' mind was running wild ' g-d what did I just get myself into? Somehow this is going to return and bite me in the ass.
