Lies part 3

It was a cool Monday afternoon I had finished all but the last two deliveries. My dad had offered as he usually does these days to make delivery the last two runs himself. He doesn't want to make my life any easier he just want to keep me as far away from Lex Luthor as possible in a town as small as well smallville. That's a hard thing to do but my dad being as stubborn as he is will try. I turned down my dad's offer; after all I had promised Lana I would do this. I slam the door to the truck pick up the box of organic fruit and head for the kitchen door. The cook opens the door for me. She gives me smile as she leads me into the room. I put the box on the counter top stuffing my hands in my jacket pocket I turn to face the cook.

" Um do you no if Lex is home" she gave me a small a smaller secret smile different than the one she greeted me with. Gezze what is it with women and that look

" He actual just got back from trip to Metropolis. He should be in the library you know the way"

"Yeah thanks"

I take off for the library. The door is closed. I creak it open part way and stick my head in the space between the doors. I get a quick look around. Lex is sitting at his desk a scowl on his lips glaring at his laptop. I pull my head back. He doesn't look happy that can't be good. I stick my head back in. he is now growling at the laptop. One slender finger taping a beat on the glass tabletop. I pull back yup defiantly not a happy Lex. I move to stick my head in the crack the door swings open there he stands a scowl on his faces I had forgotten how fast he moves.

" Are you playing some hick version of peek –a-boo out here all by your self Kent"

I wish I could blend in with the wall that would have been a useful power and therefore too much to ask for.

" Um no I… well… I" yes that's definitely a good way to start things keep wasting his time Kent and maybe next time he'll just tell the cook to hand me a nice green rock as payment.

" I came to talk to you and well you look so mad and your working I didn't really want to bother you" well that wasn't much better but at lest I got a sentence out.

The scowl disappears but his eyes are still sharp guarded.

" Come in Clark I wasn't really that busy"

He's lying but we are not here to talk about his lies. Besides I'm back to Clark instead of Kent. He moves to lean against his desk I stand by the door look at the floor hands buried in my jacket pocket

" You said you came here to talk Clark"

God is he aware of how he says my name even when he's not so happy to see my name just roles off his tongue like it belongs there like he should always be calling name. does that take conscious thought. I look up to find his head tilted to one side gray eyes searching my face.

" I actually came by to say sorry"

He opens his mouth to speak

" No Lex let me finishes saying this. I was mad at you for look in to me. You promised you would stop. And you broke that promise. The think is I didn't stop doing things to make you ask questions. That was wrong on my part. I guess I understand why you didn't stop looking. I get that you don't like mysteries Lex. I'm sorry I can't explain everything to you. But I'm asking you to trust me. I know that's a big thing to ask especial with our history but I made a promise to my parents that I wouldn't talk about things. I can't break that promise Lex.

He pushes himself off the table and comes he starts to move from one side of the room to other. There is a frown between his eyebrows I want to reach out and kiss it away. He comes to a stop in front of me

" So your not mad at me anymore"

I shake my head

" I haven't been mad at you in months Lex"

The frown is starting to disappears

" You want to be my friend even tough I violated your trust and put you in danger"

God Lex never lets' himself off easy

" I know you only did it because you don't like mysterious. You would never purposeful put me in danger Lex"

" I did put you in danger Clark. My farther is obsesses with you and that is my fault"

"Lex that is my own fault. I did stupid things and he took notice."

" I won't let him hurt you Clark"

" I know"

I understand that know matter what Lex will always protect me. It makes me feel safe and kind of scared to think of the lengths Lex will go to make sure I'm safe.

" Lex, promises me you'll stop asking those questions and I promise not to lie. I don't like lying to you but I can't answer those questions."

" Should you make me promise not to keep snooping"?

God why can't anything ever be easy with this man.

" That is something you will have to decide to do for yourself. If you think this friendship is worth anything you'll decide what you need to do to keep it"

He watches me for a moment his eyes searching calculating than the frown disappears and a smirk forms I love the way the scar above his lip twist just a little to the left when he smirks

" So no more lies Kent"

" Yeah"

" But no truth either"

" Lex I..." he raises a hand to cut me off

" I heard you Clark promise to your parents I respect that"

The smirk is gone

" I'll stop the questions but my farther won't"

" He's in jail Lex remember you and Chloe put him there"

He gives me an odd look his eyes see far away

" He cans still move mountains from jail"

" Yeah but I've got you to put them back"

His eyes snap back into focus. Than he give me the mind bending full month smile. Before I can stop myself I move across the space between us and kiss him. I run my tongue against his lower lips than over than small scar above his mouth. His mouth opens undermine I move in to conquer. He moans in to my mouth I swallow it. He taste good like brandy something sweet and something completely Lex. Like his odd looks and the real smiles.

He kiss me back hard fast. He nips my lip before pulling back his face is flushed his eyes dazed

" That was a nice surprise Clark"

He smiling I move in to kiss him again he doesn't fight it just leans in and deepens the kiss. He pushes me backwards till we tumble on to the sofa. Me on my back him sprawled out on top of me. He ends the kiss runs his tongue over my lower lip and sits up straddling my legs.

" Does this mean kissing is part of the renewed friendship agreement"

I pull him down to lie on top of me his head pillowed on my chest. Only Lex would think of this as a business negotiation

" I'll give you more than a kiss if you say you'll be my friend again"

He chuckles into my shoulder

" You such an easy person to please Clark"

" Can I take that as a yes"

I feel his lips warm and wet against my neck

" Of course Clark we have a density to fulfill stuff of legends remember"

I get a clear image of the cave wall and it prophecy. I push it out of my head and move in for a quick kiss. We make our own destiny. No hundred-year-old cave is going to dictate to me how to live my life

" So what is this new relationship we have Lex"

He sits up so I can see his smirk

" Don't you watch TV Clark? We have just moved up to the friends with benefit category"

I laugh, friends with benefits that sound like it has the potential to be a fun arrangement.

" So this friends with benefits is it part of the legendary friendship density thing"

" Of course it is Clark "

" Okay so when do I start experiences the benefits"

He slides off me his eyes laughing. He extends a hand

" Now if you want"

I accept his offered hand. He pulls me up to stand beside him. I lean in for a quick kiss No more lies between Lex and me just secrets with kisses I could live with that.
