Chapter 9:


Fifteen minutes after they'd arrived at the airport, Chloe and Lex were now sitting in Lex's private plane, waiting for takeoff for Paris, France.

Chloe sat across from Lex, looking completely dazed. "I should have known a date with you wouldn't be like a date with the most popular guy in school."

He gave her a sheepish grin. "I've been told that I go a little overboard sometimes. But, personally, I think you should when the woman is extra special…"

Lex looked at her pointedly for a moment causing her to blush a deep red and to render her speechless.

He broke the moment a minute later. "If you'll excuse me, I just need to make one important phone call before we leave…" Lex informed her.

She waved him off, still trying to get her wits back. She didn't stay in her seat though; she got up and began to explore the plane. But it soon became apparent that there wasn't anything especially interesting about Lex's jet.

Turning around to go back to her seat, Chloe found Lex standing in the cabin's entranceway just watching her. She found the way he looked at her exciting. It was clear he found her intriguing, attractive, and alluring. It made her breath catch.

All this for me, she thought breathlessly, as he took a few steps towards her.

"So who'd you call?" she asked, more to clear her thoughts than to get an answer. Of course she was curious, but it was Lex's business, she didn't expect to get a response. She was surprised, a moment later, by actually getting an answer and for the one he gave.

"Your father," he replied.

"My dad?" Chloe asked, confused. "What was so important that you needed to talk to him now?"

"You," Lex said nonchalantly.

His brief answers were starting to get to her. "What about me?" she questioned, annoyed. "And this time at least three words, please."

"Well," he began, infuriatingly slowly. The smirk on his face told her that he knew just how he was affecting her. "I was thinking… There isn't possibly enough time to fly to Paris, have dinner and be back by midnight. Not when we want to see some sights too…"

"So we'll skip dinner then," Chloe offered, not wanting to miss the sights that Paris had to offer.

"I'm too hungry to do that…"

She gave him a suspicious look. "What's this got to do with my dad?"

Chloe waited impatiently as he walked over to his mini-bar to pour himself a drink.

He took a sip, still stalling, causing her annoyance to flare up. If he doesn't tell me what's go on soon, I'll just walk right off this plane…

"I had to tell your father about Paris," he told her finally. She hadn't expected that; she groaned out loud at what her dad probably thought of the impromptu trip. "Yeah, I know. That's what I thought, too. But, it was like he was expecting it... He was surprisingly calm. Anyways, I asked for his permission to take you with me and for us to stay there until tomorrow night. He said yes."

"He said what?" Chloe exclaimed. Completely dumbfounded, she had not expected her father to give in so easily.

But any more talk was cut off at the moment, when the pilot got on the intercom and told them it was time to fasten their seatbelts. The engines fired up soon after that and they were on their way soon after.


That's it for this chapter. Please forgive any impossiblities with the travel to Paris; I wrote this before I had any concept of how long it takes to actually travel. lol
