A/N : So, here is the 2nd chapter. I'm not sure if anyone's reading this because I have only had one review (thanx Merrie). If I do not get reveiws I will assume no-one is reading and I will not post anymore so please review if you like the story. Thankyou.
Now on with the show!
Clark and Lex talked over my head, almost as if I wasn't there. I didn't mind. I was not paying attention to the words they were saying, more the expressions, the body language. There were similarities between them but when it came down to it, Clark was a cute kid and Lex was a gorgeous man. Neither of them seemed to notice me sitting there, quietly daydreaming.
It was at that moment that we heard the scream.
"Lana!" Clark shouted and was out the door in seconds. "Stay here!" I heard him call to us as he left. I made to follow him anyway.
"I thought Clark told us to stay here!" Lex called to me. I turned to look at him.
"I'm sure, like me, Lex," I said, emphasising his name, "you do not like to follow orders!"
Without a word, his face managed to crack into another heart-stopping smile, as he followed me out of the room.
We walked down the dark corridor in silence.
Suddenly, a flash of lightening lit the end of the passage way, and something made a shadow on the near wall. I heard footsteps too. I was obviously scared, but my reporter's instinct made me move towards the figure anyway. Before I could, Lex grabbed my arm and pulled me into the nearest room. He closed the door silently behind us as the footsteps got louder and the thunder rumbled as a storm approached Smallville.
"What is going on?!" I breathed.
"I don't know," Lex whispered, "but we're probably safest staying here for a while". As the footsteps disappeared, he locked the door and came over to sit opposite me. I suddenly noticed, I was shaking, although I wasn't sure why. It was definitely colder in this room but I think the fear had something to do with it too.
I surveyed the room. It was quite small, hardly a room at all, more like a large closet, a very large closet, but I thought, 'hey, this is a mansion, the closets would be huge'.
There were shelves in the room, full of books and files, they reached high above us, me and Lex, alone. We were both perched on a shelf each, opposite each other in this dark closet-type room. He looked at me, and there was that smile again, reassuring me that we we're safe. I shivered uncontrollably again and immediately, Lex was on his feet, removing his jacket and offering it to me.
"Here," he said, "take this if your cold"
"No really, I'm fine" I lied, visibly shaking all over.
"C'mon Chloe," he urged, "I'm not going to have you die of a chill in my house," I thought about taking the jacket from him, and then he added, "that's not good for my reputation!" another smile and that was enough. I took the jacket from him and wrapped it around my freezing shoulders.
I smiled back at him and said thankyou. I could hardly believe that Lex Luthor knew how to use humour and sarcasm, usually it was me who came out with things like that. I don't think I'd ever seen him smile this much either, and why now? Weren't we in some sort of danger or trouble and he just sat there smiling at me like an idiot. Honestly, I didn't mind, he defiantly looked good when he smiled.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence I was enjoying. A deafening and indescribable crashing sound. I screamed, cried and jumped all at the same time. I was terrified.
"It's okay," Lex assured me, "it's just the thunder outside". He spoke so kindly and calmly, that in seconds my panic left me. It was only as I started to breathe again and relax that I realised he was holding me. My head was on his chest and his arms held me close. He was rocking me and stroking my hair and assuring me he wouldn't let anything happen to me. I believed him and I trusted him. I don't know why. I barely knew him, but something in his voice, in the way he held me close, something made me trust him completely with everything, with my life. He seemed in no hurry to let go of me and I was certainly far from willing for him to do so.
Our moment was spoilt by another sound. This time it was not thunder, in fact it was not even loud. It was a small but significant sound. Someone or something, was moving past the door. I moved my head and looked up at Lex. I opened my mouth to speak but he placed his finger on my lips to silence me. I almost fainted when he touched my face, and believe me, I am not the fainting type (that would be Lana).
Anyway, the footsteps disappeared and Lex moved his hand away. We were still fairly close, his face a few centimetres from my own. He looked deep into my eyes and I felt so safe and reassured. I did what felt right at the time, I kissed him. At first he pulled away from me. He spoke just above a whisper.
"What about Clark?" he asked.
"Clark's not here," I breathed, "and you are"
I kissed him again and this time he didn't stop me. He kissed me back, and he wrapped his arms around my body again. He was different from Clark. I guess it's unfair to compare the two, but I did. Lex was a man, where Clark was a boy. I had never kissed Clark that way, I doubted he knew how...
