"Oh.my.God!" Chloe gasped, falling into Lex, who grabbed her waist

and pulled her back upwards to face him.



"Are you going to be ok?" Lex asked, a smile playing at his lips.



"Don't play Mr. Cool with me! I saw you laughing your butt off when

Austin and Britney started dancing around.I can't believe you picked

Austin Powers of all movies!" Chloe smiled as she grabbed onto Lex's

arms to keep her balance.



"Well, no one can see me when I'm in my personal theater." Lex

grinned.



"It must be nice to have a home theater and every movie in the world

at your instant disposal." Chloe said as she regained her footing.



"It is. Hey, what are you doing?" Lex asked as Chloe started

spinning downs the, getting faster and faster until she collapsed

against the wall of the exterior of the theater.



"Whoa, what was that?" Lex asked, putting an arm on either side of

Chloe to keep her from falling to either side.



"I blame it on the movie. It put my in a goofy mood." Chloe grinned

up at Lex as her eyes stopped rolling around in her head and she

could see only one Lex, not three blurry Lex's, again.



"Who'da thunk?" Lex smiled down at Chloe.



"Are you patronizing me?" Chloe asked, raising her eyes to meet his.



"Me? Never!" Lex said, smiling even more.



"You're incredibly infuriating. Has anyone ever told you that?"

Chloe asked, suddenly realizing Lex still had her arms on either

side of her body, even though she had completely regained her

balance.



"Not to my face.but thanks anyways." Lex said, suddenly becoming

very aware of the positioning of his arms.



"Ugh, just take me back to the hotel before I have to do something

drastic!" Chloe sighed, swaying her hips to one side, then the

other, trying to make Lex's arms budge.



"Like what? You should thank me! I took your mind off of.him, didn't

I?" Lex asked, locking his arms even tighter.



"Well, thanks for reminding me," Chloe sighed again, making a face

at Lex. "But yes, I did forget about it. And I think I might know

just what to do about it." Chloe grinned at Lex.



"Would you like to share with the class?" Lex grinned back.



"I'm going to take the advice of a wise friend, and just take this

thing one day at a time. Clark can ask me out if he's really

interested in me, right?"



"A real man always asks the lady out.I always ask the lady out.

I think we might get along!"



"Geez, sexist much?" Chloe asked as she slipped around Lex.



"Never! And I promise I'm not patronizing you! Cross my heart!" Lex

chuckled as Chloe gave him a hard stare.



"Call your limo, Luthor. I've got places to go, people to see."

Chloe commanded as her hard stare broke into a grin.



Lex just grinned back and smiled at her, then got out his phone to

dial.
