Lionel began to pace in his penthouse with the look of nervousness and fright in his eyes as he stopped pacing and went to the phone and dialed a well known number and hit the button for the speaker. The phone was answered on the fourth ring.
"Hello." Martha answered
"Martha its Lionel."
"Yeah I know I have caller ID."
"Oh of course I was um... kind of hoping that maybe if you would want that maybe we could go out to dinner sometime." Lionel said inbetween stammers.
"Sure."
"Great! But just as friends of course."
"Um.. listen about that."
Lionel began to panic thinking she was going to say something that would crush the only none dark and evil part of his heart that had her in it.
"About dinner right." Lionel said.
"Yeah um... maybe we could go as more than just friends and see how it goes."
Lionel couldn't believe it, and Martha who had said that couldn't believe that she had said that.
"Sure ok... hows Friday at seven."
"Friday at seven.
"Alright bye."
"Bye... oh um wait could you come over before like at eleven if you can because I need help with my speech for my confrence."
"I have know meetings so eleven."
"Eleven see you then."
"See you then."
"Bye."
"Bye."
When they both had hungup Lionel stood in complete shock, he had a date, he had a date with Martha Kent the woman that he had long to be with and at that moment nothing could ruin how Lionel felt at that moment.
