Thanks to the people who reviewed…anyway on with the story!
Sunday
"Okay we'll be back by tonight, with lots of boxes," Sam said laughing as her and Lex headed to a different car then anyone she'd seen so far. It was more of an SUV just with a luxurious Lex style to it.
"Wish I could go," Clark said smiling. "But I promised Chloe I'd help her with some stuff for school."
Lex nodded and said, "It's understandable, although me stuck with her all day packing, we're bound to either get bored or start a mini war of some kind."
"Yeah a beanie baby war," Sam said her eyes glistening before she climbed into the passenger seat and waving goodbye to the Kent's. The adoption would be finished later that day and Sam was already enrolled at Smallville High so she could start tomorrow.
"See you tonight," Lex said walking towards the car and getting in before buckling up and pulling out of the Kent driveway and towards Metropolis.
11:30 AM
Lex and Sam had been packing her things for a few hours, Lex packing CDs and knick knacks while she packed her clothes, insisting he didn't need to see any of her private clothing which she packed away first and foremost.
"Want to break for lunch?" Sam asked as she closed up a box and set it near the others.
"Sure," Lex agreed glancing out the window. "It looks like it's going to rain, hopefully it doesn't get too bad."
"Yeah that wouldn't be too much fun," Sam agreed leading him through the mostly empty house and to the kitchen. "So what are you in the mood for Lex? Sandwiches, soup, omelets, macaroni and cheese…help me out here."
"Hmm, surprise me," Lex said smirking challengingly as he leaned back in his chair. Sam smirked back and started to make lunch for them, never letting Lex see what she was up to.
Twenty minutes later she set a plate in front of him and a fork beside is as Lex observed his meal. An omelet had been decided on, along with a bagel on the side, butter and cream cheese set out before him.
Sam shrugged as she sat down, "Only stuff left in the house that I felt like eating."
Lex nodded understandingly. "Thank you," he said before picking up his fork and digging in. He made a noise of enjoyment showing he enjoyed the omelet before buttering his bagel and setting out to finish his meal.
Less then ten minutes later they had finished eating and were back to packing when they heard lightning outside. Lex pulled back the curtain as it began to downpour. "Shit, we should finish packing some more and head back to Smallville, otherwise we might not make it back."
Sam nodded and set back to packing up everything around her room minus the things they would need a moving truck for, before her and Lex carried the boxes to the car and climbed in.
Lex looked over at her and his jaw dropped slightly. She wore a pair of light blue jeans and a gray t-shirt that day, her boots still on. The rain had soaked the shirt to the point that it clung to every curve and the jeans looked soaked enough so that she'd have to literally peel them off her skin.
He swallowed before tearing his eyes away when he realized his clothing was even more attention grabbing. He had on jeans as well but only a white t-shirt, which soaked through clinging to his muscles beneath giving everyone who saw a glimpse at what was hidden under the fabric.
Sam noticed this and had to mentally slap herself before she looked back at the road as Lex pulled out of the driveway and headed back to Smallville.
The rain was coming down hard and fast making it hard to see. "I can't drive in this, we'll crash and you've already had enough bad experiences with me and cars," Lex said as they neared his pent house he kept in Metropolis. "We can stay at my place here until it lets up, but call the Kent's when we get inside so they don't worry."
Sam nodded as they parked the car before dashing inside getting soaked to the bone in the process. Lex quickly unlocked the door and let Sam rush inside as she shivered and stood in the foyer her arms crossed across her chest. Lex laughed slightly and closed the door behind him, locking it out of habit.
Lex flipped the light switch on showing the nice furniture and paintings around the living room before he led the way to the bedrooms in search of dry clothing. The rain showed no signs of letting up and Lex sighed before saying, "We might have to stay here, and it's impossible to drive in this."
Sam nodded and went to call the Kent's and tell them the situation while Lex dug through the clothing he had here. He found two pairs of sweatpants and two t-shirts deciding it'd be comfortable enough to wear while their normal clothes dried.
"It's all okay with Mom and Dad," Sam said smiling as she came back into the room. Lex smiled and handed the smaller of each item to her and had to fight the urge to laugh when he saw her face. "Jeez, you think I should just wear all your sweatpants and t-shirts, seems to be what I'm doing lately."
Lex laughed and said, "You're one of the few women I know who can pull that off so congrats to you."
Sam smiled before going to change in the bathroom while Lex changed in his room. After Lex had pulled on a new set of boxers and was tugging the sweatpants on he realized something he wish he hadn't. Sam's "private clothing" as she called it was outside meaning she had nothing to wear under the sweat pants or the t-shirt.
"Jesus Lex, you're a grown man, stop thinking about that. She's Clark's sister for crying out loud," Lex said to himself as he picked up his t-shirt.
A soft knock came at the door and Lex said, "Come in," before he could even pull his t-shirt over his head.
Sam froze in the doorway when she saw Lex's bare torso and turned her back to him out of respect blushing a deep red as she did so.
"Please Sam if you had walked in a few seconds earlier you would have seen a hell of a lot more," Lex said laughing as he pulled the shirt over his abs.
Sam turned around hesitantly still blushing. "Come on, let's see what's on TV," Lex suggested walking back out to the living room and sitting on the couch, picking up the controller and turning the TV on.
They flipped through the channels but found nothing of interest so they left it on the TV Guide channel for background noise and the occasional movie preview. The two sat on the couch talking about nothing in particular when their stomachs rumbled a few hours later. Lex jumped up and headed to the kitchen, laughing when he saw frozen pizza in the freezer, something he never had before he started hanging out with Clark.
After the pair finished off the pizza Lex decided to turn on the CD player and smiled when some soft music came out of the speakers. After a few songs of sitting around and talking Sam sighed and said, "I wish I knew how to dance, this music must be fun to dance to."
"What do you mean you can't dance?" Lex asked a smirk appearing on his face.
"I can dance for parties and stuff but not at formal things, I don't know any actual dances," she explained.
"Well maybe one day I can teach you but I think right now we should go to bed since we'll have to get up early and head home," Lex said standing up and leading the way back to the bedrooms. "Take the spare bedroom, you know where the bathroom is."
Sam nodded and said, "Night Lex, thanks for helping me pack today."
"Not a problem," Lex replied before walking in his room and closing the door. He sighed and crossed the room, stripped to his boxers, fell onto the bed and fell asleep as soon as he had pulled the covers over himself.
Across the hall Sam repeated his actions only with the added whisper of, "He's Clark's best friend. That means off limits," before falling asleep
