Chloe was almost out of the bedroom when Lex quickly grabbed hold of her and made her stop. "What do you mean you have to go?"
Oh God, think Chloe! "My father, he'll worry about me. If I'm not at home, he'll send the entire Smallville police force out looking for me." Truth was that Gabe has probably fallen asleep in his chair, snoring like there is no tomorrow, while watching the Weather Channel. And if he wasn't watching the Weather Channel than it would was the History Channel. Besides, it isn't like Lana would notice either. She'd be too busy thinking that she was the best checkers player in the world because Clark was letting her win. Chloe did a mental eye roll at the thought.
"Wait, you want to go home because you're father might worry. Please don't tell me that you were thinking of this while I was kissing you." Chloe had to laugh at Lex's insecurity. How a man can be that sexy and insecure at the same time was beyond her. "You can't leave anyways. Have you looked outside lately?"
Well, no she hasn't because she's been too busy starring at the bald and the beautiful, but she could just imagine how bad it was outside. "My father will worry." Chloe knew that her argument wasn't very strong or convincing, but damnit she was going to stick with it anyways, mainly because there was absolutely nothing else. What was she going to tell him, anyways? "Sorry Lex, I can't have sex with you because I'm inexperienced and you are really experienced?" No, she didn't think so either.
"I'll call your father and let him know where you're at." Lex already had his cell phone in hand and pushing buttons by the time he finished his statement. Chloe couldn't think of anything to do except for head on collision. She went flying in the air, tackling Lex underneath her hoping that there wasn't a connection made and Gabe wasn't on the other end listening to obscene gestures and extremely heavy breathing. "What the hell?"
"Don't call my father! Are you insane?" Chloe had Lex pinned down to the floor of his bedroom while Basic Instinct was blaring on the massive TV. For some odd reason Chloe was starting to feel a little kinky, but now wasn't the time to be thinking about that.
"No, are you?" Lex was desperately trying to breathe underneath her. He was almost to the point of flailing his arms around, like a defenseless girl does when being attacked, to get her off of him. For some strange reason Lana came to Chloe's mind.
"My dad will freak out if he gets a call from you telling him that I'm spending the night with you. Just what will he think, what will the neighbors think?" She had to admit that her reasoning was beyond rationality, but she didn't care. She simply could not sleep with him. She hasn't even graduated from high school yet and she was already this close to having sex. Though, having sex with a rich, gorgeous, walking sex object wasn't that bad for being a first time.
"I'm his boss, he has to listen to me. All I will tell him is why you are here and he will understand. Gabe is a guy, he will understand." Chloe chose to ignore that last comment and let Lex up off the floor. He seemed relieved and he breathing was returning back to normal. Chloe watched as he pushed the redial button and got connected to Gabe. "Gabe, this is Lex… Yes, I know it's snowing. It's something isn't it? Oh I haven't been watching the Weather Channel… Oh, well thank you for informing me."
Okay when is Lex going to cut the crap and get to the point? Chloe was doing everything from pacing around the room to almost biting her nails. She couldn't quite bring herself to biting her nails because it was just icky.
"Well, I was calling because I just so happened to run into your daughter at the grocery store an hour ago. No, she isn't at home… She's with me at my mansion, she cooked for me… Yes, I think she's a really good cook… No, she didn't burn my house down. Look, I was wanting to let you know that we are completely snowed in here and that Chloe is going to have to stay here until the snow clears up… Okay, we'll keep in touch, bye." Lex threw his cell phone on the bed after hanging up and had the biggest smile on his face. This couldn't be good. A Luthor smiling? Chloe, or any Smallville resident, has come to realize that smiling Luthors always means trouble. "Did you know that it's supposed to be snowing for the next three days?"
Chloe took a big, hard gulp and tried to manage actual audible words to come out of her mouth. "Is that so? Did my father tell you this?"
"Yes, he said that it was all over the Weather Channel." Lex was smiling more and more. This really wasn't a good sign at all. "It looks like you're going to be here for quite some time. So, we might as well start making the most of it." With that said he crossed the room over to Chloe in one quick flash. Chloe could barely see him walk to her and he was right there like magic.
"I can't, I just can't. I don't know how." Chloe mentally slapped herself on the forehead for actually speaking those words out loud for Lex to hear. She hesitantly looked up at Lex, who was still smiling, and she could tell that innocent thoughts were too far-gone from his mind at the moment. "I know, let's play Trivial Pursuit, do you have Trivial Pursuit?"
She watched as Lex thought over what was just asked for a moment. Pondering Luthors were never a good sign either. "Yes I do, but we must play it my way." Chloe didn't want to know what he meant by his way, but she kind of already knew what it was. Lex walked into his closet and dug out his copy of the trivia game. He showcased it in his arms for Chloe to see and then said, "This is what I like to call Trivial Strip Pursuit." Chloe could do nothing but stare at the box that held her future on trivial cards.
