Chapter 5 - Revelations and a good old fashioned sing song.
Ahh, you must be the one that keeps saving Lex. Blurted out Tae as she realised that Clark was coming into view of her face. She knew that it was rude not to turn before now, but the information that her passive sense was relating about the boy that sat a few feet away was startling. So plastering on a big fake smile she tried to concentrate on the conversation and not to stare wide eyed at one Clark kent.
So Clark, where are these papers that lana has for me?. Lex drew Clarks attention back to himself and away from Tae, she didn't look like she could carry on much conversation at this point, judging from her ridged body language and dear caught in the headlights' eyes. Whatever she had found out must be amazing, and Lex was just itching to get Tae alone so he could ask her what she had found out.
Oh, hang on, Clark reached to his back pocket and retrieved the now crumpled papers and handed them to Lex, he couldn't help but look sheepish but he changed the subject quickly, And also Lana wanted me to invite you to the Karaoke night she's holding on saturday at the Talon. Clark grimaced, he may love Lana, but he didn't have any love of standing in front of lots of people and embarrassing himself.
Ah, the dubious delights of Karaoke, I hate to admit it, but even I have roped into that hideous activity once or twice in my misspent youth. He paused, grinned and thought about going, if he did he would no doubt be press ganged into singing by Clark, because Clark would be made to sing by Lana. hmmm, no, I don't think that I really want to give the town gosips that much ammunition. Plus Miss Sullivan will be there covering it for the Torch now doubt.' You might see us there, but I can't promise anything, so you may have to find another partner in humiliation!
But Lex, you have to come, your the only one that can stop Lana from making me sing Clarks slightly panicked voice amused Lex no end.
What makes you think that I'd be any help, she's more likely to try and get me to persuade you, that or threaten to make me sing if you don't. Besides, it would be interesting to hear your vocal talents Clark. Lex couldn't help himself, it was just to easy to tease Clark and it was worth it just for the horrified look that crossed Clark face.
Lex please no! I may have many good qualities, but singing just isn't one of them. Come on, it'll be fun, Tae, back me up hear, Lex just has to show. Looking back over to Tae, who had now recovered and was listening to the exchange between the two friends with interest.
Well, as long as I get to pick a song to sing, I happen to have a great singing voice, even if I do say so myself. And I am sure I can blackmail Lex into it somehow, I have something that I know he wants very badly that only I can give him! smirking wildly, Tae turned her eyes to Lex and saw that he caught her joking double meaning.
Clark's eyes widened as he caught the innuendo and he blushed slightly, looking away from them both.
I don't know, I have pretty much everything, what is it that you've got that can compensate me enough to tempt me into a round of excruciating humiliation. That would have to be something very, very' pleasing. Lex carried on the duel conversation as he shot back an innuendo and a wicked look.
Huh, maybe just for that, you'll never get to know what you could have got your grubby little fingers on. Tae gave him a pouty smirk and raised an eyebrow.
I object! My fingers can never be described as grubby!! I demand and apology. Lex's melodramatic outrage got a snort from Clark and an eye role from Tae.
Fine fine, you'll never get your finely sculpted, aristocratically elegant digits on what you could have had, good enough! Tae faked a long suffering sigh. She really was in to minds about what to tell Lex. Maybe I should talk to Clark first, his secret is even bigger than mine, no wonder Lex has been intrigued with him.'
