Disclaimer: No, sadly i do not own the Smallville characters. but David, cute tall blonde...is MINE! all MINE! hehehe XD enjoy the next chapter!

The bet

"I can't believe that you're acting so immature!"

"That is soo untrue! You're the one who almost lost his temper. Not me. If that's not childish, I don't know what is!"

Lex glared at her, silently fuming. She was half right. But Chloe was also wrong. Technically it wasn't him who got them kicked out of a party for argueing.

"Still your fault."

"No it isn't. you were the one who started it by going."

"I was there first!"

"No you weren't!"

"Yes I was!"

"Weren't!

"Was!"

"Weren't!

"Was!"

"Weren't!

"Was!"

"Stop!"

Chloe and Lex pause and glance over to see David strolling up.

"Geez you guys I can here you a mile away! Stop arguing over stupid things."

"No."

"Yeah, what he said."

"At least you agreed on something."

"No, we agreed to disagree."

"Yeah."

David groaned and rubbed his eyes. It had been arguing non-stop between them for the past week in a half. The last 4 days had been absolute torture for the poor guy.

First he had to keep an eye on Lex, to make sure he didn't do something stupid. But recently he was starting to think that most likely he wasn't going to do anything, but Chloe just might.

"Look I dare you two, for a week. A week of no arguing. I bet that neither of you can do it. Share that large bed of your together, without arguing. Talk to each other civilly without rising your voices and most of all, NOT drag me into whatever the heck you guys are trying to complain about. Deal?"

"What's in it for me?"

Chloe asked, interested. She could be nice to Lex, for a while. IF there was something of value in it for her.

"I'll pay for all the coffee you drink here, for the rest of the time."

"And me?"

David raised an eyebrow at Lex.

"I'll get you the next special edition of Warrior Angel. But, one other thing, if you two can't be nice to each other for a week, you two must…"

David paused thinking about it before he grinned.

"Streak. In public. Or go skinny dipping in the middle of the night."

They both thought it over. Finally Chloe grinned.

"Deal! But one thing!"

"What?"

"If either of us can go the longest with no arguing. And wins this, little contest. I want a reward other than coffee."

"What is it?"

"Nothing you can give David. But Lex on the other hand."

"What?"

"I want a full blown public apology from you."

"That it?"

"Yes."

"Fine, and I want something from you if I win."

"Oh?"

Lex grinned and glanced over at David before looking back at Chloe's curious eyes.

"I'll whisper it to you."

"Fine."

He murmured something into Chloe's ear softly. David strained to hear it but couldn't. Chloe blushed when Lex pulled back.

"Deal. But remember Lex, if I win."

The playboy smirked.

"I know, but if I win…"

He trialed off as his smirk widened. Sticking out his hand he looked over at David.

"Deal?"

"Deal!"

They all shook hands. As soon as that was done, David grinned at the two of them.

"Alright. Now that that is done. I heard that theres a party at Corban's villa! Want to go?"

Chloe glanced at Lex for a second before she smiled widely.

"Sure! Love too!"

"Me too."

"Great, come on, its already starting."

"You go first, I need to talk to Chloe for a second."

"Ok, see ya there guys! And remember! If you argue…"

He left it hang as he left them alone.

As soon as Lex knew David was out of hearing range he turned and grinned at Chloe.

"Remember, if you lose Miss Sullivan."

"I know. But same goes for you. I can't wait to start drinking all that coffee."

Lex laughed and gestured towards the villa where they were headed.

"Ladies first…"

Chloe rolled her eyes and bit back the retort that came easily to her. This was going to be harder than it sounded like.

"I know I know, Beauty before the beast eh?"

She smiled prettily as she headed off. Leaving Lex behind as he gritted his teeth, biting back his own reponse.

"Damn, this is going to be tough. I am soo going to get David back for this."

He muttered under his breath as he hurried to catch up with Chloe.

TBC...

Can they do it? muwhahaha! more insane wackiness following these chapters! R&R!
