Kind of short. End of the date stuff. Where this is going nobody knows.
It's official. I am crazy. Instead of going to the Kent farm, where I'm sure Clark was waiting up for me, I went to the Luther castle. I went on the pretence of coffee and sitting by a fire to talk some more.
We were in the limo on our way back and the whole where to came into question.
"Let's see back to a big empty castle with a man I barely know or to the Kent farm to face 20 questions from one Clark Kent."
"Barley Know? I do believe you know more about me then Kent."
"I didn't think that was possible. Clark can practically read your mind. And besides knowing that I'm a size 4 and wear a 7 shoe what do you know about me?"
"More then you think."
"Did some homework then?"
"Pulled up a few newspapers, I found out about your parents, why you ran is still a mystery, then I can only imagine what life was like after that…" He stopped looking at my face. I was a bit shocked at the way he summed up my life.
"Yes well it's kind of hard for me to imagine that I ever lived the way I did."
Quiet.
"How did we ever get talking about me and not you?" I smiled slightly.
"It's a gift."
"I still want to know about you Lex."
"Does that mean we are going to push curfew?"
"Til the stroke of midnight, then I turn into a pumpkin."
So we went to his house. Not a house. Lex never called it his home. We sat by the fire while Lex sent someone to get coffee.
"So how did you ever end up in Smallville?" Although I already knew part of the story.
"My father's idea of punishment. However I'm finding small town have slight advantages. I hadn't been here to long when I literally ran into Clark." I cringed slightly Clark had told me about that and how Lex wouldn't give it up. "And ever since he's been a good friend, makes living here bearable."
"Do you ever go any more?" He knew what I was asking.
"No, Partly grew out of it, partly threats from my father, partly because all the good clubs have been shut down."
Coffee came it was one of those flavored vanilla roast blends.
"I see you've found out that I'm going to become a Kent."
"I have my sources."
"I'm sure."
"Why go through the adoption? You're an adult, they don't really need those papers for you to live a the farm."
"It's just nice to know that I belong somewhere, to be a permanent member of their family."
"You're getting to know Clark well right?"
I wasn't sure what this was leading to but…"Well yes, I mean he tried to put the moves on me last night…"
At that Lex almost spit out his coffee.
"I shouldn't have said that Shit Clark will kill me don't…"
"Clark Kent has moves?"
"Surprised me too."
"What happened?"
"I told him very nicely that he was like my brother, and it wasn't going to happen. I just think the whole thing with Lana and his friends pairing up."
"I guess he had to take a shot."
"Mm." I thought, hoping with that side conversation that Lex wouldn't ask the questions about Clark I thought he might.
"Of course I have to wonder."
"What?"
"If there is another reason for your refusal of Clark affections."
He leaned forward and kissed me. It was so much better then the first kiss. Maybe because this time I kissed back. His lips were very soft and warm and his tongue flicked over my bottom lip slowly. I opened my mouth and his tongue slipped in. I didn't expect his kiss to be so gentle. When he pulled away I felt flushed and slightly out of breathe.
"I should go." They were the first words out of my mouth and I wasn't sure I meant them.
Lex merely nodded and got up.
I also stood up and we walked to one of his cars. He was going to drive me home instead of taking the limo. The ride to the Kent farm was quiet but not in an uncomfortable way. As we pulled up I suddenly saw the lights go out.
"That was subtle." Lex commented.
"Clark." I stated shrugging. "Thank you, Lex."
I wanted to kiss him again. "Goodnight Dori."
I really wanted to kiss him again.
So I did. His hand in my hair my hand leaning against his chest, I kissed him softly feeling it flow through my body. I've never really been kissed gently. And I can't remember the last time I was merely kissed, except Clark.
"Goodnight." And I left.
As I shut the front door behind me the first voice I heard was Clark's. "So what happened?" I needed to get this boy a life.
"Clark it's not nice to kiss and tell."
"You kissed him?"
"Clark."
"Alright."
"I'm going to sleep, these heels are killing me."
"Dad was freaking out all night."
"I'm sure I'll hear all about it in the morning."
I went into my room and took off the dress not sure what to do with it now. I probably never wear it again. Unless Lex asks you to. Stupid weak woman thoughts.
