Chp 4

Clark wasn't really sure what to make of the whole situation so he went straight home and told his parents, so they could be warned and prepared for anything that happen, he couldn't really trust her, he didn't know her. Of course his parents were worried and warned Clark in return to stay far from her, and keep an eye on her, after all she was a stranger. The next morning Pacifica, was woken up early when she received a call at her motel room from the police, they wanted her to come down and ID her robber. She had almost forgotten that she had to give her information to the attending nurse at the hospital, they in turn had to make a report to the police. She stood there behind the two way mirror and gave a positive ID. She wasn't afraid that the guy might do something bad to her considering he got nailed for two bank robberies, her ID of him was small change. She left the station and went to exchange her Canadian money then went to find breakfast, she didn't eat before going. With money in hand and coffee in mind she came across a coffee shop called The Talon, it seemed like a nice place, but she was looking for a quite place to have coffee and read the paper and found that the Talon was a bit too crowded and she walked out, but noted that she'd came back. Came across another coffee house this place was called The Beanery. Now this was just the type of place she was looking for, she ordered breakfast and settled down. She was too into her breakfast to really take in any cute guys that walked in, there'd be time for that later. Once she finished eating she went to order a small French Vanilla coffee and sat back down as she was reaching for her bag, which was under her table, just then something hit her in the head. She cried in pain as she grabbed the bandage that were covering her stitches. Normally he would have just quickly apologized, perhaps not even looking at the person and would just continue walking, but his stomach dropped at the sound of her cry. Involuntary she had tears in her eyes from the pain, when he looked down at her, he couldn't even come up with the right words to say sorry to her and maybe for that reason or for whatever reason, she affected him. He offered to pay for her breakfast "It's the least I could do," but she refused and was a bit more abrupt with him then she expected, but considering the impact to her head.

Basically she told him to be more careful and not to be such a rush, he was taken back as to how she spoke to him and the way she acted. It was obvious that she didn't know who he is was, coz if she did, she might have been the one to apologize for speaking and acting to him in that manner. Most people would apologize to him, even if he was in the wrong, the only other person who acted like that towards him was Chloe. She bent down again to try and grab her bag, this time she kept an eye on him to make sure he wouldn't hit her again, and gave him a warm fun smile at the same time, said "I'm keeping an eye on you this time". She composed herself opened the paper and began reading the real estate section, rentals and houses for sale. Lex was no longer in such a rush, he was only going to go back to the office and do some paper work, which really was of no importance. So he just sat at her table watching her, she could feel his stare and so she looked up gave him smirk and asked "So where's the safest place to live in Smallville?". "Everywhere is pretty much safe here, there's no real crime here, not yet" he answered back. As she pointed to her head "I'll differ on that". Lex always wanted to know everything, so he of course questioned her on how she got hurt, she looked at him, wondering why he would care to even brother, but it was no big deal and so she told him the whole story, except for the part about Clark. "And maybe you knocked some sense into me, maybe this isn't the place for me to be, maybe I'll move on" she said pretty seriously. Smallville at first to Lex was nothing more then a punishment place and boring as hell, but for the while he's been here things changed and he actually grew to liking it. Lex protested to her, to give it at least another chance, that it's not even been a full 24hrs. He indicated that he must be on his way now, but that the wanted to take her out for dinner and perhaps some entertainment, he still felt bad about hitting her so hard in the head with his briefcase. She looked up at him and saw that he was serious about it this time "How do I know that your not going to rob me?" she said. "You'll never know unless you join me for dinner" and he gave her his award winning smirk, which she knew nothing about. Clark passed by The Beanery and saw Pacifica talking to Lex, and of course he was afraid that Lex , like a pumping station, may get some information out of her about what she saw. Clark didn't think it through but reacted on it, he walked in and joined them, and boy did he look a bit nervous, and Lex picked up on it. Clark interrupted their conversation and asked how she was feeling, she advised him that she was fine. Lex turned to Clark "That was nice of you to take her to the hospital". Clark advised him that he was passing by when her heard her moaning. Lex was convinced, but did still note that Clark was acting funny. Lex turned back to Pacifica and asked for her answer, she was slightly hesitant to answer, but when Clark vouched for Lex that he would not hurt her, and that they were friends, she felt better and with that she agreed to join Lex for dinner and told him where is was staying. Lex left the two of them and off to the office he went. "I told you I would not breath a word" she said before he even sat down, he gave her a thank you smile. "I'll give you a hint Clark, don't act so funny around people, you draw more suspicion to yourself, don't give people a reason to ask your unwanted questions" With that peace of mind he got up to go to school and she walked with him for a while, this way she could see a bit more of Smallville with him as a quick tour guide. She thought to herself, that maybe Smallville will be given a second chance, for like Lex said she hadn't been there for more then 24hrs and she already meet two very cute/handsome guys but who would make a better match the slightly younger one or the slightly older one? They ran into Lana before hitting the school, Pacifica noticed how Lana and Clark goggled at each other, but it was clear that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend yet, they properly haven't reached that stage.
