"Lex?...Lex?...LEX!"
Lex's neck snapped up from his computer screen to see Clark standing in front of him, a smile on his face.
"I've been standing here for five minutes and you didn't even notice! What are you reading? It must be good." Clark smiled.
"Email. From Dad. I was getting a little into it, you know how it is." Lex said, covering smoothly as he exited his Yahoo group email.
"What did your Dad have to say?" Clark asked, sitting across from Lex.
"Same old.I'm disappointed in you, don't forget I'm watching you.Love you to Dad." Lex said with a grim smile on his face.
"Well, I just dropped off this week's produce, and it's the first of the month, so time to pay up!" Clark grinned.
"You're in a surprisingly good mood." Lex said, getting his checkbook out of his desk.
"Chloe...I asked her to the spring formal.things just finally seem to be falling into place for me." Clark smiled, shrugging his shoulders.
"What happened to the lovely Miss Lang?" Lex asked as he handed Clark a check.
"I don't know, really. I just see Chloe.differently ever since the crazy cop incident." Clark replied.
"Maybe you've realized how important she is to you?" Lex grinned, truly happy Clark was finally figuring out his feeling for a few of Smallville's younger population. Lex has been watching Clark and his friends dancing around each other for months.
"Maybe. But listen, I've got to go help Chloe with the latest edition of the Torch." Clark said, pocketing the check and turning to leave.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Lex called after him, smiling as Clark threw a grin over his shoulder.
Lex waited until he heard Clark start up the engine and drive off to reopen his email.
"Damn! Think this list could get any more posts per minute?" Lex mumbled to himself, reopening the email titled 'Chapter Fourteen-Love and Lust' and settling back into his chair to read.

Chloe grinned as she read the last line of another_bald_man's reply to the latest chapter of her fan fiction, but her smile immediately contorted as she heard someone ring the doorbell.
"Coming!" Chloe yelled, closing her laptop and racing to answer the door. "This better be good, I'm in the midst of a potential online love connection!" Chloe muttered to herself, opening the door. "Clark! What are you doing here?" Chloe asked, her smile popping up again.
"Nice to see you to, Chloe. Yes, I would love to come in." Clark answered, grinning.
"Oh, come on in. Sorry, it's just, I wasn't expecting you." Chloe babbled, opening the door and turning to sit on her couch. Clark shut the door behind him and sat next to Chloe. "Should I have been expecting you?" Chloe asked, looking at her watch, wondering if she lost track of time while she was online.
"Nah. I was in the neighborhood and thought, hey, Chloe lives here!"
"You were in the neighborhood?" Chloe grinned. "Clark, you could live on the other side of town and still be in the neighborhood."
"Right. So, maybe I just wanted to see you." Clark said, blushing.
"Surprise visits, mindless excuse making, and blushing over little old me? You haven't been sniffing any flowers lately, have you?" Chloe said, reaching over to feel Clark's forehead.
"No, goofball. I just.felt like seeing you! Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Clark asked, getting defensive.
"Lordy, Clark, it's not like you come over every day!"
"Well, maybe I want to change that." Clark answered, catching Chloe's gaze.
"Wow, I must be having delayed shock because of this cop thing, because I almost thought you just tried to make a pass at me."
"What if I was?" Clark asked, leaning closer to Chloe.
'Another_bald_man is probably 35, married, and has three kids. Clark.is here. And I'm here. We're here.together, alone, and I think he's about to kiss me!' Chloe's mind exploded with these thoughts as Clark got closer and closer.
"I'd tell you to quit talking." Chloe said, surprised her snarkiness was still intact when Clark's lips were within mackage distance.
"Good." Clark said leaning forward and pressing his lips to Chloe's firmly.
