Chapter Eight

Lana was working at the Talon, getting a large table of five's orders ready, while she was trying to hold back here tears. How could they do this to me? she thought. Clark's my boyfriend and Chloe's like a sister, I can't believe that they would do this to me.
But Lana was zapped out of her thoughts, and back into reality, when she heard a familiar voice ask, "Is something wrong Lana? You don't seem quite like you regular self today."
Lana turned around to see that it was Lex Luthor.
"Umm. you see Lex, Clark and I just started going out with each other, but then I-I just, I just saw him making out w-with Chloe," she stammered.
Lex looked surprised, "I must say, that's very un-Clark like," he began "I am going through a situation similar to yours. Michelle has been double-crossing me, however she is unaware that I know this information.
"I'm really sorry about that Lex," said Lana.
"Don't be Lana. It's your fault, is it?" Lex asked her.
Lana said " I know it's not but---- "
Lex cut her off, "So then don't apologize," as he took the coffee cups out of Lana's hands and gave them to the customers.
Lana started wiping off the counters, when Lex came back from giving out coffee. She said "It's just so hard for me to believe that Clark would do something like this, and I bet that in a couple of days, that he will come back to me, apologize, and beg for me to forgive him just like the last time he was making out with Chloe."
Lex looked at Lana for a moment and finally asked "And what are planning on doing if he does?"
At first Lana looked surprised are Lex's question, but then her expression changed to confusion, " Well I really don't know Lex," she admitted.
"Well you should consider something," Lex said.
"Well you should really consider what you are going to do about Michelle," Lana replied.
"There is nothing to consider, it's a plain and simple matter. I will tell her what I know and then tell her that our relationship isn't going to work out," began Lex, "It's not that hard Lana, I'm positive that you will come to a conclusion about your dilemma with Clark."
"Yeah, your right, thanks Lex," said Lana.
"Anytime Lana, now would you please be so kind as to get me some coffee for the road?" asked Lex.
Lana grabbed a cup, walked over to the espresso machine, got the coffee out, and gave it to Lex. "Do you need anything else Lex?" she asked him.
"No, that will be all Lana, I'll see you around sometime," said Lex, right before he strolled out of the Talon.
