Chloe stood in front of the doors. The huge wooden doors stood high and Chloe felt like she shrunk down to 3 feet again. She was at the Lex Luthor's house and it felt strange being there without Clark or anyone else. It was just her..and Lex..and is gazillions of butlers and servants. She combed through her hair with her fingers, something she did when she was nervous. She didn't even know why she was nervous - it was just Lex, just some guy. The front door swung open and Lex leaned against the doorway - giving her his trademark smirk.
"Do you want to do the interview out here in the cold or do you want to come in?" He said, a smile playing on his lips.
"Very funny, I was just deciding on how I should let you know. I mean, I know you were preparing big time for me." She said, grinning. Lex laughed.
"You know me too well, Ms. Sullivan." He said, leading her down the hall. They walked into a room Chloe had never seen before. It had two huge leather chairs sitting across from each other and were in a front of a blazing fireplace. Lex took a seat and gestured for Chloe to sit across from him.
"You can call me Chloe." She said, taking a recorder out of her bag, along with a pen and notebook. Lex studied her for a moment.
"And you can call me Lex. You're prepared. I like that in a girl." He said. Chloe looked up and rolled her eyes.
"And I love to please you." She shot back, before feeling a blush come on her cheeks. She saw Lex raise his eyebrows.
"OK! So, what made you decide to do the whole co-ownership thing with Lana?" She asked, tapping her pencil against the notebook.
"It was not only a great opportunity itself but a very smart idea on Lana's part. I was going to stick with my plan first but when she told me what she wanted to do and her offer was great. I couldn't miss it." He said truthfully. Chloe looked up, somewhat surprised.
"Is this going to be an honest interview?" She said, smiling. Lex laughed and took a sip of his coffee.
"I'm always honest." He said. Chloe snorted and suddenly grew serious and put her pencil down.
"Do you ever get lonely, Lex?" She asked, her eyes questioning. Lex looked up in surprise.
"No."
"Not even a little bit? I mean you live in this big old house all by yourself. I would be lonely if I were you."
"Well your not me." The words came out harsher than expected and Lex saw Chloe look at him in surprise.
"Don't get so defensive. You know what. I have a plan." She said, suddenly get excited. Lex studied her again and found himself enjoying her company.
"Should I be scared?"
"No. We are going to be friends, Lex. I'm going to show you a fun side of you that you've never seen." She grinned and bounced off the couch and playfully sat on his lap. Lex watched her in amusement.
"Well, I've been really busy so..." He said trailing off, but she waved his words away.
"Shut up. There's a carnival tomorrow through Sunday and we are going to go and have something called fun, okay?" She said, smiling and jumping up. She grabbed her books and looked back at him.
"Tomorrow we are going at 7, meet me by the ferris wheel, okay? Bye!" She walked out of the room.
~~~
He walked into the room and watched the guy in front of him look out of the window.
"Hello Lex." He said deeply. Lex spun around and gave him a look.
"How did you find me?" He asked angriliy. The guy gave a low chuckle.
"Is that any way to greet a friend? You're not exactly hard to find you know." He said.
"You're nowhere near my friend. What do you want?" Lex asked.
"Revenge. But don't worry I'm not going to injure or kill you. That's so cliche. What I am going to do is prove to the world that you, Lex Luthor, have emotions." With that, he turned and walked out the door.
~~~
"You're going out with Lex?!" Chloe laughed.
"Shut up Clark. You make it sound like it's a date." She giggled. Clark gave her a look.
"It sounds like one." He mumbled, giving her a playful look.
"Please, Clark. You sound like a girl." She said, ignoring the offended look he gave her. Pete, meanwhile, gave a snort of laughter.
"I am just showing Lex what it's like to have fun. He would be so much more laid-back if he had fun." She said casually.
"Chloe, I'm betting you $10 he shows up there wearing a business suit." Pete said. Chloe rolled her eyes.
"He's not going to show up wearing a -"
~~
"A business suit?! What kind of person wears a business suit to a carnival!" Chloe said in shock as Lex walked up to her. Lex just watched her as she unbuttoned the outer part and made him take it off. She took it and handed it to a laughing Clark and Pete.
"Go put this in a car or something. Make someone's day." She said as they walked off. Lex gave her a look. He still looked somewhat professional in his gray pants and shirt but it didn't look as formal as with that jacket thing.
"I need that." He said, smiling,
"Sure you do. Rule #1: You don't wear a business suit when you are going out to have fun, are you insane?!" She joked as they walked in the line of the ride called the Zipper.
"Alright, I'm sorry. But a carnival isn't exactly my idea of fun." He said, looking around. Chloe pushed him playfully.
"Would you rather be at home doing math and counting money?" She challenged him. He looked away.
"I win. Oh look we get to go on now." She squealed and she hopped into the cage. Lex followed tentively behind her, ignoring the guys look of shock as he locked the cage. He was so close to Chloe and his stomach started jumping up and down. It's just the ride, he told himself as it started. Chloe squealed as they went up and stopped.
"Oh look how fun this ride it." He said sarcastically. She ignored him and started pushing the cage back and forth. He gave her a confused look.
"It makes us flip around more." She explained, "Come on and help me." Lex gave in and started pushing the cage back and forth.
~~~
"Hey look at that. She's using the Chloe-charm on him." Pete exclaimed, pointing to the rocking cage. Clark laughed.
"I still cannot believe he came to this thing...Chloe must have done something to make him come." He joked. Pete shrugged him shoulders.
"Maybe he likes her." He said, looking up at the two who were now laughing as they waited for the ride to start.
"Maybe." Clark said quietly.
~~~
From the shadows of a the park, a man watched the two laughing in the ride.
"Lex Luthor happy? I don't like this." He said, before dialing a number.
