SugarandSpice, you're last chapter reeked of happy go lucky-goofy grin-
floating on thin air-on cloud nine happiness. Are you in love or just
terminally ill?

Lex grinned at his own bluntness.
"This is what I love about the internet. No one knows who I am, so I can be who I want," Lex said to himself as he snapped his laptop shut. Lex surveyed the Talon, looking for any patron he could scare or sweet talk into another cup of coffee, when his eyes caught on Chloe.
Lex smiled as he remembered how Clark went on and on about how proud he was of
Chloe snagging a summer internship at the Planet. Lex also remembered Clark
going on and on about how much he was going to miss Chloe.
'A chance to make our local intrepid reporter blush? Priceless." Lex thought to himself as he motioned for Chloe to come over to his table, not wanting to
leave his laptop alone, even if Smallville wasn't a hotbed for laptop swiping
crimes.
"Lex Luthor, inviting me to his table? Dating Clark has got me moving up in the world!" Chloe snarked as she sat across from him.
"Speaking of Clark, he told me about you're internship with the Planet. I'm
impressed."
"That sounded like a compliment!"
"It was. Looks like you might rule the world of journalism before you turn
thirty."
"Am I knocking you off your throne, so to speak?"
"Chloe, I plan to be greater than the reach of the world of journalism. Who
knows, maybe one day we'll be fighting neck-and-neck for sole power of the
world."
"Lex, I don't want to rule the world! I just want to get a byline in the
Planet."
"Baby steps?"
"Something like that." Chloe grinned; knowing arguing with a Luthor was futile. "Hey, Clark!" Chloe waved across the room and Clark smiled back, making his way over to the table.
"Hey, Chloe." Clark said, sitting down and automatically putting his arm around her chair. "Hey, Lex."
"Clark." Lex nodded. I think I'd better leave you two alone. I see the look in Clark's eyes, and I don't think I have an umbrella out in the car." Lex grinned, standing up and grasping his laptop firmly.
"Funny, Lex. Very funny. Where was this funny guy when I interviewed you last time?" Chloe said, smiling lazily up at Lex.
"Maybe you'll get an exclusive funny-man interview...one of these days." Lex
added quickly as Chloe's eyes lit up.
"Lex, weren't you leaving?" Clark asked, his voice speaking volumes.
"Alright, alright!" Lex replied, turning and walking away. Lex grinned as he
unlocked his car, turned to look in the window, and saw Clark lean into Chloe.
