Chloe and Lex sat in the Luthor manor's theater. They where eating Chines tack-out and watching "Les Miserables." They were both VERY talkative as they watched. Chloe even found herself laughing at some of the comments he had made about the movie. She had been the one to pick it out, which had turned out to take 15 minutes with all the DVD's Lex had.

"I sometimes feel a lot like Eponine." Chloe stated mater-o-factly. Lex raised an eyebrow.

"How so?" He asked.

"Well, here's how I see it: I am Eponine, the women who is in love with Marius, played by Clark Kent, but Marius is in love with Cosette--" she was cut off by Lex.

"And Cosette is Lana Lang." Lex nodded. "Wow, when you think about it, life in SmallVille is somewhat like Les Miserables. It's all soap opera-like and it has the love triangle thing." He looked over at Chloe. "Eponine, do you ever think that maybe Marius isn't worth it? I mean, you spend all your time looming over him you might miss someone really special who is better. But if you keep the whole thing with Marius going, you may never know if there was something better."

Chloe's eyes met his. She saw a side of him that she had never seen before. His eyes weren't that misty looking and shadowed. They where full of love and caring and, hope? Was she just imagining it, or was Lex Luthor hinting that HE wanted to be the one she loved and not Clark. She smiled, hoping that she wasn't imagining it.

"Maybe your right, Lex." She said. "Maybe what I want is right in front of me." She kind of felt like they where closer then they had been.

Lex gulped. Was he really doing this? Was he really about to confess something he didn't even know that he had felt. He couldn't! He could hurt her. She was sixteen! He shouldn't have even thought of it. He pulled his eyes away from hers and looked at the screen, which surprised her a little.

"Well, it is to bad the real Eponine didn't see it, huh?" Lex said, almost muttering.

"Yeah, whatever." Chloe almost hissed. She was mad! He had totally been hitting on her and now he was acting like it had never happened! It was SO just like Lex Luthor, always hiding what he was feeling.

~~ Six O'clock that night ~~

Chloe sat in Lex's study. She was so glad that this day would be over soon. She would have been worried that her dad would be wondering where she had been all day if he hadn't been on a trip that week. She was reading the book "Les Miserables" for about the forth time in her life and listening to Lex typing at his laptop.

The phone rang and Lex picked up. "Lex Luthor." He said. There was a pause. "Hi, dad." Chloe turned around and looked at him. His face was rigged and he looked upset. "Yes, I heard you where buying TECH Corp. about a week ago... no, I didn't... here? Why here, may I ask? ... And there's no way you could do it outside SmallVille." Lex looked really mad now. Chloe was almost afraid. "I hope TECH Corp. worth it all. Yeah, sure... see you in a week." Lex slammed the phone down. "Damn it!" He hissed.

Chloe tilted her head to one side as she watched Lex run his hands over his head. "You really don't like him do you?" Chloe said.

"What tipped you off?" Lex said, coldly.

"I just never knew you hated him so much." She smirked, knowing full well that she had just lost the bet. But suddenly it didn't matter.

"Yes well not many people--" Lex stopped and looked at her. "You just lost the bet." He said, a little shocked that she was smiling.

"Yeah, I know." She said. "Don't be so sad, Lex, you won, remember?"

Lex smiled a little. "Well, I guess you can go home now, if you like." He said, almost in a sad tone. He didn't want her to go. He really liked her being there.

Chloe smiled. "Well, I was wondering if I could just stay here, tonight. I mean, there's no one at home and I made planes to stay the night so..."

"I'd love for you to stay." Lex said with a big smile. Chloe's smile widened.

"A sleep over, how fun!" Chloe laughed with Lex.

Well, how was it? Shall I go on? The next chapter may be the last one. But I was wondering if people wanted it to be R rated... so that you we could give the REALLY dirty Chlexyness. Tell me what you think.
