A/N: Hey everybody. Sorry about the long wait but my computer wanted to be mean to mean to me this summer. I finally got it be nice though so I won't bother you anymore. Thanks to all who reviewed and those very loyal readers. I love this chapter. It is so much fun to torture Lana.
Chapter 21
He's in love with me!
Lana was sitting in her apartment when she heard the doorbell ring. When she opened the door there was a man standing there.
" Currier for Miss Lana Lang." Handing her a box. "Sign here."
" I wonder what this is." She said as she opened the box. When she found the most gorgeous dress she thought one thing. Lex. " What have I gotten myself into? He thinks I actually like him!" Then she heard the phone ring. "Hello?" She said as she picked up the receiver.
"Lana, did you get your dress?" Lex said on the other end."
" Yeah, yeah, I did." Lana said trying to get the totally freaked out sound out of her voice.
" Are you okay?" Lex said, " You sound kind of nervous."
" Oh no, I'm not nervous. I was just watching a horror movie when you called." Lana replied.
" You want me come and make it all better?" Lex cooed.
" NO!" Lana yelled into the phone.
" Lana, do want to go on this date with me or not?" Lex said in a tone that frightened her.
" Of course I do." Lana said trying to get control of her feelings, " I didn't mean it the way you took it. The homicidal guy just chopped off a girls head."
" Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
" Yeah I'm looking forward to it."
When she heard his end of the phone click she was finally relieved. She was so glad Lex liked her so much because she didn't think she was very convincing. When she heard the phone ring again she was afraid to pick it up. When she did she heard a friendly voice on the other end.
" Hey Lana. How's our newest girlfriend of our favorite billionaire doing?" It was Chloe.
" Let me just say this. If this plan doesn't work then I'm going to kill Clark!"
" That good huh?" Chloe said slightly amused.
" Chloe he sent me a dress and he wanted to come to my apartment!" Lana said Hysterical.
" Was the dress sexy?"
" Yes, but that's not what is so disturbing, Chloe. He's in love with me!"
" I remember you fending off another young man who was deeply in love with you."
" That was different. He didn't turn into one of the greatest criminal scum of all time!"
" Wait did you say that Lex wanted to come to your apartment?" Chloe said as the information finally made it into her mind.
" Yes! He wanted to come here!"
" And do what?"
" He wanted to comfort me among other things!" Lana said cringing at the thought.
" Oh no!" Chloe said as she just realized something.
" What!" Lana said as she heard the realization in her friend's voice.
" Well, if the plan does work as planned what are you going to do with Lex? He thinks you like him!"
" Oh no! I never thought of that! I guess I'll have to dump him or find some other excuse." Lana said in a hopeless tone.
" You're going to dump Lex Luther?" Chloe said in a skeptical voice.
" What other choice do I have?"
" Look, we'll figure out something later. OK?"
" Sure. I don't see what other choice I have. It almost makes me wish the plan doesn't go as planned."
With that Chloe hung up. Lana's phone rang again. It was Lex again. Lana sighed. It was going to be a long night.
