Chapter 2: The Dinner

After closing up the Talon Lana headed home to clean up for dinner at the Luthor manor at 9:00. It was 7:00 when she got in the shower and fell in to another dream. Day dream((A/N Technically that's a night dream but I am too lazy to change it even though I just wrote this. How Ironic)) Lana walks in to the dining room in a short black skirt and low cut red shirt. " You said we had some business to attend to Lex." She says. "I lied." He replies while walking up to her. She smiles at him and he leans in and captures her lips in a passionate kiss. END DREAM Rinsing the shampoo from her hair she glances at the clock. "Oh my god its 8:00," she thought to herself.

Lex put down the Nicodemus book, and then walked to the dining room. He makes sure everything is going smoothly. He starts to pace as he takes a deep breath. "Am I? LEX LUTHOR? NERVOUS? I have never been nervous about a girl…woman before", Lex thought to himself while trying to calm his nerves. He looked at the clock. "Only 8:15, are you kidding me? I have to wait 45 more minutes."

"What do I wear?" Lana thought to herself. "Why am I so nervous it is just another business meeting." Lana opened her closet and saw the outfit from her previous daydream. She grabbed it and quickly got dressed. She threw her hair up in a slightly messy pony tail, put on a little bit of make up and took off.

She pulled up and got out of the car. She then went inside and found Lex sitting at his desk.

"Lana, glad you made it. Wow, you look…" he paused, "nice." he finished.

"Thank you." Lana replied.

"Shall we proceed to dinner?" he asked as he offered her his arm.

"Sure." She smiled and took his arm. He led her to the dining room and pulled out her chair for her like a true gentleman. "Why is he acting so weird?" Lana thought to herself. They sat through dinner in an awkward silence. After dinner Lex suggested that they go have coffee in the room she found him in earlier.

"Lex, I thought you wanted to discuss the Talon?" Lana asked after about five more minutes of silence.

" Yeah that." He sighed. "I wanted to say how well the Talon has done this past year and…." He stopped.

"And what?" Lana asked.

"And that is not why I asked you here tonight. I'm sorry I wanted to ask you something that doesn't have any thing to do with the Talon." He confessed.

" So what is the reason you asked me here?" Lana asked.

"I uh…" He laughed. "This has, well been bothering me for a while. I wanted to ask you about something that happened a while ago."

"Yes and what is it?"

" The Nicodemus flower." He answered.

"What about it?"

" You don't remember, but you had said a few things to me, that I had thought nothing of at the time. Then about six months ago I re-read the book and found that the victim of the Nicodemus flower is not completely out of character, that they only share repressed feelings versus making it up." He looked at her.

" What exactly did I say?"

" This is going to sound funny but I think you were trying to seduce me." Another silence struck the room.

"I don't know what you are talking about, and I heard that I did and said a lot of crazy stuff that wasn't me at all." She said " I'm sorry I must go I need to get up early, I promised Clark that I would have a good bye breakfast with him tomorrow. Thanks for dinner."

Once again I hope you all enjoyed. Lex and Lana were pretty OOC. I bet you all agree, but I hope you like the story and keep reading. Please review; tell me if you like it or you hate it. Give me suggestions on my writing if you think it can be improved.
