"Lex insisted we take a ride after he gave me the grand tour of his mansion." Sophie tells her.
"You met Lex, huh? So tell me, was he who you expected?" Lana asks her.
"Actually no. He's lost the bad boy image he had in Metropolis. He's actually pretty nice." Sophie says. They walk inside.
"How did you know how Lex was in Metropolis?" Clark asks. Most of Lex's past never made it in the news, thanks to his dad.
"My dad has worked for Luthor Corp for years." Sophie explains.
"Would you like some coffee?" Lana asks.
"Sure." Clark says. Clark and Sophie sit down at the counter while Lana serves them.
"So, do you miss Metropolis yet?" Clark asks as they speed down the road towards home.
"Not in the least, I have you to keep me company." She says, giving Clark a sexy smile.
"Oh. I was hoping you could give me an excuse to cruise to metropolis." Clark says.
"Well in that case… I know of a place we could visit." She tells him with an excited smile.
"Let's stop at your house and I can call and leave a message for my parents. I don't want an excuse to have to stay home." Sophie says. Clark arrives in front of his house in a cloud of dust.
"Hey Lex, Clark isn't ho… Oh hey." Jonathon says, coming out of the barn and realizes it's Clark.
"Hi dad, have you met Sophie?" Clark asks.
"No I don't think so. I think I'd remember you." He says to Sophie. She giggles and says, "We haven't met. Nice to meet you."
"Sophie misses Metropolis. Do you think I could… take her to her favorite restaurant?" Clark comes up with.
"Clark, you haven't been around much lately," Jonathon says.
"I know dad. I'll promise I'll make it up to you." Clark pleads. "I can't let this one get away, dad." Clark tells him under his breath. His dad laughs.
"Just make sure you're home more. Have a good time." He tells Clark and pats his shoulder.
"So what do you think of my new car?" Clark asks his dad.
"Your car?" Jonathon asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, Lex traded me." Clark says, smiling like a kid getting his favorite present. His dad gets ready to make his "Where the money that bought that car came from" speech before Clark cuts him off. "Relax dad, Lex convinced me to borrow it for the day." Clark tells Jonathon.
"Ok well keep it under 150." Jonathon says with a little laugh and walks towards the barn.
"Yeah, I start to lose control then anyway." Clark teases. Jonathon gives Clark a look and keeps walking.
"Can you show me where your phone is?" Sophie asks.
"Yeah, it's inside." Clark tells her and they walk to the house.
Clark is on the highway, weaving through traffic on his way to Metropolis. Horns blaze as the streak of blue flies past.
They arrive at a restaurant Sophie picks out. A little expensive to Clark, but worth spending the money to spend time with her. They walk in and everyone stares. They must have heard the squealing tires as Clark slid into the parking lot.
"Hey, that's a nice car you have there." A man tells Clark as they find a table.
"Oh, it's n-" Clark starts to explain.
"Nothing compared to his Ferrari." Sophie speaks up, putting her arm around Clark's. Clark just smiles.
"You have a Ferrari? That's my 560 Modena in the parking lot." The man tells him, pointing out the door.
"That's nice. I prefer the Enzo myself." Clark tells him, thinking he went too far.
"I didn't know Lionel Luther had another son." He says. This, Clark will not go with.
"Oh no, Lionel Luther is not my father. I'm just a… business investor from New York." Clark says, creating more lies.
"Clark, let's sit down." Sophie suggests, pulling Clark away. "You are not a good liar." She whispers in his ear. As they are ordering, Clark can't keep his eyes off of her. Here he is with one of the most beautiful girls he's ever seen arriving in a sweet car, at a restaurant he normally can't afford. "What are you thinking?" Sophie asks him with a seductive smile.
"How beautiful you look." Clark tells her. Sophie's smile just gets brighter.
