Chapter III

I visited her every day until her semester ,here, in smallville almost ended. And everyday, I long to see her smiling. Im worried about her. I dont want her to end her life like that. Life is too exciting to end it. And it seems like everytime I visit the first word that will always come out of her mouth is "I dont need protection Lex" but then she'll smile and invite me to come in. We talked about certain things and I found out that we are pretty much alike. Judging from her loss of a mother and a pretty wild side behind that mysterious smile of her but the difference between me and her is that she is very open. And in case she felt bored in talking, we would go to a night club and dance. She is not really a fantastic dancer but she can crack a joke very well. And thankfully, she is not giving me that suspicious look again.

"So let me think. Who was your first girlfriend? I mean, not to intrude your little mysterious private life but Girls must have a thing for you. You are Mr. Lex Luthor, A rich and handsome guy who has a very exciting wild side in the evening and the silent guy in the morning." She smiled for a while then she continued "Okay so maybe not that silent" She corrected herself.

I laughed. I really like her sense of humor [A/N: I am really enjoying this... Keep on praising me Lex!]. Her eyes were glittering from the lights. It reminded me of something. Thats it, that windmill!

"I wanna take you somewhere" I suddenly said. She looked at me confused and surprised.

"Where?" She asked as she stood up.

"Wear your jacket... And its a surprise"

She started wearing her jacket as she took it from the coat rack of the bar.

"Lex!" She called "You know I hate surprises!"

"It wont be that bad, okay?" I said, holding her hand "I promise"

We drived around smallville and finally I took her into this windmill that could give you a glimpse of all Metropolis. We climbed into the windmill and I saw her eyes widen. She is looking down below, gripping my hand tightly. Enough to cut off your circulation but its worth her touch.

"Lex! This is too high!" She shrieked "Im afraid of heights"

"Dont worry, I promise that I wont let you fall." I assure her "Just dont look down and look forward." She slowly raised her head then her eyes widened more.

"Lex, Its beautiful." She commented, never taking her eyes from Metropolis. The city lights of Metropolis was reflected into her eyes. She cuddled her jacket and then sneezed "Sorry, It kind of takes place when I'm in such high area. You know what I mean"

"Clark told me about this. He took Lana with him." I could hear her giggle. I looked at her and asked "Anything funny?"

"I could see that Clark is still trying to take Lana from Whitney's clutches" She giggled again "Clarks really shy when Lana is around. Chloe also has this secret crush on him but he never knew."

"Really" I looked at her suprised.

She covered her mouth and her eyes glaring at me "Oh my god! I cant believe I told you that!" She took her hand from her mouth and pleaded "Promise you wont tell Clark and Chloe?"

"Sure" I snorted. How am I gonna tell her this?, I asked myself. This is really funny. Girls dont usually make me, The rich and powerful Lex Luthor send nerve cells in his brain and make all her hair stand up, A tingle in his spine when this girl touches him and made him nervous everytime he looks into her sad eyes and made him fear of losing her than losing his company.

"All this time in Smallville, I never realize that there is a place like this." She took her eyes from the lights and shifted it to me "Thank you. I really appreciate this."

"No Problem." I stared into her penetrating brown eyes, I looked away and stared back to the lights of metropolis."So you have someone at home?"

"What does that suppose to mean?"

"I mean, are you available?"

"Why? Are you interested?" She joked.

I smiled and said "Shouldnt I be?"

"Depends"

"So do you?"

"No" She laughed "Why would anyone have interests in me?"

"That's weird!"

"Weird?" She looked at me, surprised "Is that suppose to be an insult?"

"Its weird that no one has been attracted to you" We are both looking at Metropolis. She bit her lip again. I like that habit of hers but why is she nervous again. We both stared at the city that lasted for a minute or two.

"Right and does Mr. Rich-and-Handsome Lex Luthor has someone?" She finally broke the annoying silence

"She doesnt know that yet." Hope she does but I cant tell her, I wanted to add.

"And you're talking about... " She toyed with the idea. I could see her interested. She grinned "Lets see" She squinted her eyes "You like smart people hmmmmm... Lets see, Candidate number one, Lana Lang Candidate number two Chloe ---"

"I could see that you are enjoying on torturing me on speaking." I interrupted. I smiled simply.

"I do" She smiled, peevishly.

"You can enjoy torturing me for the rest of your life because I'm not talking"

"Right!" She paused for a second then she shrieked "Oh My god! What time is it?"

"Its 10:30 p.m. Why?" I asked confused.

"Whitney is waiting for me!"

"Whitney? You had plans?"

"Yeah! You wanna come." She started climbing down the ladder. I followed her.

"What are your plans?"

"My friends are catching up to whatever things they missed in my life. Its kind of a bonding ceremony and besides that, I dont usually hang-out with Clark's friends."

"No. thanks. I dont think I should be interfering the 'Bonding Ceremony'"

"Okay. Could you drive me to my apartment?"

"Yeah sure!"

"Thanks"

I drived her to her apartment and as she got out of my car, and it took her quite a while. I noticed she brought something with her. She smiled. "Thanks Lex. Sure you dont wanna come?"

"Yes. Im sure." I smiled, starting the engine of my black porsche.

"Bye!"

"Bye, Niesyl."

"Um Lex, I think your jacket is with me!" She showed me the Jacket she has hidden in her back.

"Yeah, Where did you get that? can I have it back?" I asked.

"Not unless you join us!" She childishly said "Come on! You must have some thirst of fun in your system."

"Niesyl" I moaned "Like I said--- "

"Lex... just this time. Join my friends and me for fun." She interrupted pulling me out from my car.

"You could always keep my jacket." I softly said, drawing her close.

"Right! You fooled me with that sexy trick of yours in Metropolis and its not happening again,Lex. So, If I can keep you jacket can I keep your wallet and keys too?" She took the keys from my jacket and waved it infront of my face.

"Alright! But just for a sec." I sighed in defeat.

"You wont regret this!" She smiled again and hugged me tight.
