Chapter 6- Private Swim
Author's Note: The 'deep breath' comment Lana makes is from an episode of Gilmore Girls. It belongs to the WB, I did not make it up. (Although, I wish I had made it up because it is a very clever comment!) (On another note, Lana and Chloe joke about making Clark blush. If you want to read a really funny fan fiction about Clark and his blush read Many Ways To Make Clark Kent
Blush—A WB Ballad by LaCasta. It's very short, but very hilarious!!)
"Hi, baby," Lana said to Lex the next morning.
Lex was sitting at the kitchen table eating a piece of toast.
"Is Clark still asleep?" Lana asked grabbing a piece of toast from Lex's plate and nibbling on it.
"Uh-huh," Lex said kissing Lana good morning.
"Chloe's snoring. I can hear it in my room with the door closed," Lana laughed.
"How about we sneak in a dip in the hot tub before the sleeping beauties wake up?"
"I'll go put on my suit," Lana said kissing Lex on the nose before going into her room to change.
Lana hurried into her purple tankini and threw her hair into a ponytail. She met Lex by the hot tub. After they put their towels down Lex picked Lana up and started kissing her. He only stopped long enough to carry her into the water and set her on his lap. They kissed for a few more minutes before Lex pulled back.
"Thank you for my note," Lex said sincerely.
"I meant it, Lex," Lana replied equally as sincere.
"I know. That's why I love you so much.
"Deep breath," Lana told Lex before starting to kiss him again.
By the time they drug themselves out of the water Clark and Chloe were up and in their separate showers. Lex and Lana parted with another before going to dry off.
When Lana had changed she knocked on the bathroom door.
"Yeah?" Chloe yelled from the shower.
"Chlo, can I come in and use the sink?"
"Sure," Chloe said pulling the shower curtain tightly closed.
"Thanks," Lana said walking in and shutting the door.
"Did you and Lex have a good time in the hot tub?" Chloe teased.
"You saw that?" Lana asked embarrassed.
"I went to get some breakfast and I heard voices. I decided to give you two a little privacy."
"Thank you. And to answer your question, yes." Both girls laughed.
"Is he a good kisser?"
"Chloe Sullivan! That's none of your business," Lana said in mock amazement.
"Would you rather I found out for myself?" Chloe questioned shutting off the water and reaching for her towel.
"No!" Lana exclaimed washing her face.
"I was kidding, Lana. You're almost as easy to embarrass as Clark is," Chloe laughed as she wrapped herself in the towel and stepped out of the shower.
"No one is as easy to embarrass as Clark," Lana said starting to brush her teeth.
"True, true," Chloe agreed walking into her room to change.
"It's so much fun to try and make him blush. It's almost a game," Chloe yelled from her room.
"100 Ways to Embarrass Clark Kent," Lana said with a laugh. "We could write a book!"
"We could make millions," Chloe said walking back into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
"Is Clark a good kisser?"
"Oh, yeah. His lips are so soft. He tastes good, too," Chloe said.
"That should go in our book."
"If Clark knew I said that he'd turn five shades of pink!"
"Speaking of Clark, let's go find out what we're doing today."
"Ok."
Lex and Clark were standing in the kitchen talking. Clark had his back to Lana and Chloe. Chloe looked at Lana, put her finger to her lips, and winked. She tiptoed until she was a few feet away from Clark, then she ran and jumped on his back. His super reflexes kicked in and he put his hands behind himself to support her.
"We were just talking about you," Chloe whispered, kissing his ear. She laughed when Clark blushed. "I did it, Lana. That was too easy!"
"What did you do?" Lex asked.
"Made Clark blush," Chloe said triumphantly
"You're so sexy," Clark breathed causing Chloe to blush. He laughed. "You're not the only one who can make people blush!"
Chloe stuck out her bottom lip in a pout, punched Clark on the shoulder, and jumped off of him.
Lex put his arm around Lana and she kissed him.
"Hey, haven't you two met your quota for the day?" Chloe teased.
"Nope," Lana said kissing Lex again. They all laughed when Lex blushed ever so slightly.
Clark moved behind Chloe and put his arms around her waist.
"What are our plans for today?" Chloe asked looking up at Clark.
"It was Lex's turn to decide today."
"I thought we could pair off in couples today, then meet up at a karaoke bar tonight," Lex said.
"Ooh, sounds like great fun!" Chloe said leaning into Clark.
"Lana, you and I need to leave by three. That gives you about three and a half hours."
"Ditto for Chloe," Clark said.
"What are we doing today?" Lana asked Lex stepping in front of him and putting her arms around his neck.
"We'll leave you two alone," Clark said picking Chloe up.
Chloe blushed again. "Hey, I'm supposed to make you blush, not the other way around!"
Lex, Lana, and Clark laughed as Clark carried Chloe to one of the couches.
"Well, I've secured a private stable with fifty-five acres of riding pasture from three thirty to seven. I thought we could take a long ride. Then, come back here, change, and go meet Chlo and Clark."
"Sounds wonderful!"
"Good."
"Well, I'm going to go steal Chloe away from Clark for a little while," Lana said walking away.
Lex grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. he kissed her softly before letting her go.
Lex watched Lana walk over to Clark and Chloe. She talked to them for a moment, before she and Chloe went into Chloe's room. When Chloe left Clark got up and walked over to Lex.
"What are you doing today?" Lex asked.
"Chlo's taking me on a tour of the Daily Planet. She's been interning there in the summers for years and wants to show me around," Clark said.
"Chloe's true passion," Lex replied.
"Yep. Then we'll go for a walk for an hour or so around the park," Clark explained.
"You should take some bread to feed the ducks," Lex offered.
"Good idea. What about you and Lana?"
"We're going to a private stable to ride for the better part of the afternoon."
"Ooh, Lana's passion."
"Uh-huh."
"Four more days until our anniversary," Clark said.
"Not counting today," Lex clarified.
"Right. I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin if I have to wait any longer. I've planned how I'm going to ask."
"Do tell."
"I know of a little lake about half an hour from here. No one ever goes there. I'm going to take Chloe there, have a picnic in the middle of the lake, and swim."
"I never knew you had a romantic side, Clark," Lex said.
"I have my moments."
"As for me, I have no idea."
"You'll figure something out," Clark reassured him.
"Looks like your plan backfired, Chlo," Lana said sitting on Chloe's bed.
"I'm Chloe, star reporter, nothing ever backfires on me."
"Clark made you blush not once, but twice."
"And your point?"
"You are hopeless!" Lana said laughing.
"What are you wearing tonight?"
"My black leather pants, and a deep purple crushed velvet top, I think," Lana mused. "And you?"
"I think I'll wear my blue spaghetti strap knee-length dress with the slit up to here," Chloe said pointing at her hip.
"You used to scoff at the thought of wearing a dress!"
"Hey, it will make Clark blush. I will have the last laugh!"
"You're too much," Lana said.
