* Did he just say what I heard him say? I mean. He is scary now. One minute he's Ferdinand and right after he's himself again. Look at Lex, he's almost blushing about it. I never saw him pink, but I have to admit that he looks pretty cute. He's acting like a sixteen years old teenager. Looking down at his shoes. There's something money can't buy! I think I should shut up because I don't think I look pretty good myself. I must look like a tomato or even worst, a real red lobster. *



*Gees, this man surely know what I'm all about. I mean, sure I'm definitely flirting hard with Chloe, but I thought we could fool him. What am I talking about? He's a dad of course that he's aware of boys flirting with his daughter, but me his younger boss, a man of 22 years old. A guy who usually he's sleeping right after the first date with a 'what's her name again?'. Who sleeps with bimbos who want everything that has to do with money? And now, I'm blushing because of a teen girl. How this inappropriate feeling has the right to make my cheeks turn pink? For Chloe, it's perfectly understandable, but heck this feeling in my stomach is pestering me! *

Gabe looked at the two 'KIDS' in front of him. It was a good show. He had to admit that he was a good old man after all. He was proud of himself; he acted the same way that his ex-wife's father acted when they first start dating.



"Ahem." he said to wake them up.





"Sorry dad." she apologized to her dad.



"It's okay honey, you can stop your rich girl manners," he said to his dear daughter with sympathetic smile.





"Okay. I'm tired of doing a rich snob spoiled brat." she spat out. She extended her hand and gently gave Lex's shoulder a tap.





"Uh." he said incoherently.







"The limousine stopped, minutes ago," she said to him.







"We are already here? Oh sorry." he managed to say under this humiliation.







"It's okay Lex," said Gabe with a funny look on his face.

Gabe went to bed after drinking whisky and a game of pool that he won against Lex. He wanted to let the two of them alone. He couldn't guarantee that this maneuver will work but he believed that it was a worth a try.

They both sat silently of the leather couch. They we're watching a movie. A French movie to be exact, the 'Fifth Element' with Bruce Willis and Mila something that finish with - vich. It was a long movie, when they were both finally bored they stopped the movie at the half. IT wasn't like they didn't know the end.





"do you want to go to bed now?" he asked her.





"No, not right now. I feel like doing something but I don't know exactly what." she said to him stretching her arms.





"Want to go one the balcony or on the roof of the building?" he asked.





"The balcony, I don't want to walk in some bird poo." she replied.





"Then the balcony it is." he said. Lex grabbed her hand and led her to the balcony.



It was nice outside. Sunflowers surrounding the table. She couldn't see the stars, which were one thing she missed about Smallville. She loved to go in the yard and lay on the humid grass watching the stars peacefully. She didn't have a telescope to watch them like her friend Clark. She definitely thinks that he should find a better use for his telescope, but not for what you may think about. She walked near the edge and watched the lights of the city. The wind was cold and it made her shiver. She felt his hand on her hip. He rubbed it a little, slowly which send her shivers down her spine. She spun and faced him. She cupped his face and let her lips linked with his. Lex usually would have done that with lust, moment of passion just for one night and that's all. But with her it was with complete desire and maybe a hint of love.



She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on the tip of her toes, so she could deepen the kiss. But Lex did that for her, very well apparently because it made her moan. They pushed themselves away from the edge. He sat her on the table. Their tongues began to wrestle. His hands were on her thighs so he could still her. It made her moan again. He parted her thighs so he could find himself wrapped by her legs. She tenderly touch his bald head. Her hands so soft made him moan. They stop kissing at this surprising sound.





"What are we doing?" she asked getting some oxygen.





"It doesn't seem clear enough for you?" he asked with a devil smile.







"Sure, it does but we. don't even. really. you know." she said trying to desperately formulate what she wanted to say.





"WE can go inside and we can talk about this 'thing' you just tried to say over a hot cup of coffee." he proposed nicely.





She looked at him and smiled.



"A mug of coffee, a big one." she replied.





"A big mug of coffee it is." he said to her, smiling back.





*Hey girl! Better slow down in here! Never get into a physical contact like this! He's so. ARROGANT, that it makes him charming, hot and. Really not helping! I'm so confused now. All mixed up. WEIRD!*





She followed Lex without a word coming out of her mouth. She was unusually really silent. She sat a the kitchen table and waited. Few minutes later, Lex arrived with the two mugs of coffee. He set her cupped right under her nose.



"Thanks." she said softly to him with a bright smile.





"You welcome." he replied back to her with a beautiful smile of his own.



"Chloe, do you want to talk about it?" he asked genuinely.



She looked at him. With big green eyes, filled with confused happiness and fear.

"Well." she started to say but right away interrupt by Lex.



"Well, I can start if you want to." proposed Lex.





"Great, but not that much. I don't like to have the impression that I'm running away from something so, I'm going to start. I've never experienced this physical 'thing' with someone and it does make nervous. I'm more nervous about me than you. I have this pit in the stomach that aches so much but I can't control it. IT feels right but it sounds wrong. It's like if I am put on fire." she rambled with vacillation on top of her words.



He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.



"Is it too fast?" he asked her.



"FAST! It's so fast that I have no idea when this whole physical chemistry between us started. I feel so little and you, you look like on top of things with this façade of yours that I don't even know if you actually care about me!" she spat out bitterly.





"I do care about you." he said with a voice full of emotions. Tidal waves screaming in his blue grayish eyes. He said that with such much sincerity that it made Chloe's eyes flashed with stars. She put her hand on his hand gently. She rubbed with her thumb and Lex's head jerked up and his piercing eyes met Chloe's.



"I care about you too." she said back with a bigger wider smile.

The gesture made Lex smile back at her. Her heart crumbled at this.



"Chloe, I think we should go to bed. It's getting really late." he said to her.





"Geez, you always have to change subjects are you? I mean. Nevermind!" she sighed desperately. She got up and went to her room. She left him alone in the kitchen.
