Chapter nine: Sunsets and beautiful views

"Come on Lex! We don't have all day!"

"Actually breathes we do…"

The young man paused at the top step taking a deep breath, trying to take air into his oxygen starved lungs.

"I never knew you…like to shop."

"I do, but only once in a while and usually with friends."

"Are you sure we can't use the limo?"

"Positive. Sides I want to see the sights of the city first hand."

"More like feet…"

Lex muttered under his breath as he watched Chloe grin and look over the balcony of the tallest building in Metropolis. It was even taller than the LuthorCorp offices. It was one thing his father hated, but that just made Lex like it even more.

The view not included.

So far, he and Chloe had gone to a ton of designer stores, looking around and shopping. Though he offered to pay for some of the cloths, Chloe just shook her head and said she was just 'looking' 'buying & looking' were two total different things.

"Hey, come over here and see the view! The sun is almost going to set!"

Lex grinned and went over. Looking out at the town his smile widened. Yes, it was quite the view. The sun was just starting to sink below the horizon, casting beautiful shadows everywhere.

Glancing at Chloe, Lex found himself staring. Just noticing as if for the first time, she was beautiful. Of course he knew she was pretty. The normal blonde that you can get a dime a dozen for.

But her intelligence and spunk, even her thirst for life was unique. Something one didn't get to see often. The young man smiled and turned his attention back to the sunset. He was glad he had been the one to find her. Today had been one of the best days of his life, for a very long time.

Chloe sighed as she watched the last of the sun disappear beyond view. It had been a breathtaking sight. Something even living in Kansas as long as she had, Chloe had never fully gotten used too.

Glancing sideways at Lex, she saw he was smiling. Unusual for the Luthor heir. Chloe realized he had smiled more with her, at the pent house than he had anywhere else she had seen him.

And they were real smiles. Happy ones, she hadn't even seen them when he and Helen been dating. Which was a little of a surprise.

"So, Chloe where do you want to eat?"

She looked up and grinned.

"How about getting some pizza?"

He gave her a funny look, like he couldn't believe her.

"Pizza?"

He echoed as Chloe laughed.

"Yes, you know, the normal teenage dietary food which we all eat. We could, uh go back to the penthouse, eat pizza and watch some movies."

It took Lex all about of five seconds before he grinned. It was something one would normally do with friends. So he shrugged.

"Sure, I'll get it sent to us."

"Great! So, what movies do you want to rent?"

He shrugged again as Chloe started to pull him after her in her excitement.

"Whatever you want will be fine."

"Lexxx…"

Chloe drew out his name while rolling her eyes.

"Come on! There has got to be a movie you want to watch. We've been doing what I want to do for a long time."

"I know, but really, there isn't a movie I want to see. In fact, I haven't even seen most of my movies I do own."

"Really? Why?"

"No time."

"oh, well then we'll watch, uh…Star wars! Have you ever seen it? It's a classic!"

Lex shook his head.

"No, what is it about?"

Chloe laughed when she saw his confusion and hurried ahead of him.

"Come on! I'll tell you on the way to the movie rental store!"

Lex shook his head and followed her, he had a feeling this though this was a longg day. It was going to be a memorial one.
