Identity Effect
Chapter 7
Johnson Manor...
"Sam! Where are you?" Julie cried, searching for her sister.
"Bathroom" she called back.
Julie got through Sam's room and to her bathroom.
"Hay!"
"What're you so happy about?" Samantha was standing in only towel.
"Don't know. Have you bought the dress already?"
"Yes, yesterday" she made her way out. "You?"
"I was planning to ask you come with me and we'll choose together" Julie sat on the chair near the mirror.
"Sure thing, I'm glad you're still interested in your older sister's opinion" Sam said, looking for the bathrobe.
"Older by twenty minuets!" the dark-haired girl protested.
"Still. So, I believe, you'll go with this CD-guy then?"
"A-ha. And his name's Clark! What about you?"
"Well, I've got one person here, but I'm not sure..." at that point her cell rang. "Hello"
"I'm in the city" Lex said and apparently closed the door of the car.
"Good for you"
"We need to meet. See you in an hour at Carries" and hang up.
"Damn" Samantha silently cursed. "Hon, let's go shopping in a couple of hours, ok? My lab-partner told me that I would fail our exam if I don't meet him, it's really difficult task..."
"Sure." Julie said and stood up. "So I'll see you in, let's say, two hours near the Central Bank, k?"
"Yeah, that's perfect"
At Chloe and Clark's...
The phone was ringing for kinda long time. Chloe found herself sleeping on the couch. She immediately woke up and answered the phone.
"Yeah..." she said still looking sleepy.
"Hi, are you ok there? I've been calling for five minuets" she heard Bruce.
"Yes. I was just sleeping. What's up?"
"Well, I wanted to know if you were free on Sunday"
"I guess, yes. And what's up with that?" she made her way to the kitchen bar-like table to grab something to drink.
"I'm throwing a party and asking you to come with me"
"Oh, ok" Chloe sipped water. "But..."
"You're my friend. That's not a date, I ask you to come as my friend, is that ok with you?"
"Yeah...it's ok with me" is it? She asked herself.
"Great then, you'll have my limo at your place at 8 p.m." he said and hang up.
"What was that I wander" Chloe said, reacting their conversation over and over again.
Carrie's café...
Lex was sitting at the table in VIP hall reserved for people like him. Samantha showed from the entrance door and made her way to the cozy couch where Lex was. She sat next to him and turned to have face to face contact.
"Hi" she finally said.
"Hi, Sammy" he said and handed her the drink.
"Thanks, so what did you want to talk about, because I don't have much time..."
"You never have much time. That's one of the reasons why you and that stupid Wayne are not together anymore" seeing her puzzled expression he decided to add. "Stupid, because he's lost you"
"Seems like his life's going on" Sam sipped the shake again.
"You're coming with me, so don't bother yourself about Wayne. He won't be very happy with that, believe me, Sam. In college all the girls were mine, so it would be one really good kick to his self-respecting"
Samantha laughed, but still wasn't sure:
"I don't know, Lex. Still, what you get from it? It's gotta be something..."
"Satisfaction from seeing Wayne's face when I'll enter his party with you" he replied.
Sam knew she won't get anything else from Lex, but she also knew that he was lying. He had to be wanting something mach more then just teasing his former college rival. But she didn't have a choice for now.
"Ok. Call for me at about 8 p.m."
"See you then, Sam"
She stood up and disappeared behind the front door, leaving Lex to think that Bruce Wayne was really an idiot to lat a girl like Samantha Johnson do away, but it wasn't his problem. He came to Gotham to solve a couple of his...
