"Nice of you to join me Clark, I was beginning to think that you changed your mind." Lex joked with a slight smirk on his face.
"Never," Clark stated a little to passionately he thought, "I just got tied up at home that's all."
Lex studied Clark, he seemed nervous; his eyes darted around not making eye contact with Lex. "Are you sure that you're alright? We can always go to the movies another night."
"No!" Clark almost shouted, "I want to go tonight, I'm fine it just took me awhile to get here that's all. Unless you don't want to go anymore."
"No Clark I wasn't insinuating that, I was just making sure that you really wanted to be here and not somewhere else."
"There is no where that I would rather be." Clark knew that he was being more than obvious but he had hid his feelings for far too long to care anymore. He was too caught up in his own thoughts to hear Lex's sharp intake of breath or to see the slight tears in Lex's eyes.
Trying to get a handle on his feelings Lex cleared his throat finally noticing the lack of truck parked in his driveway. "So Clark decide to take the Lamborghini in the end?"
Clark shook his head, "No, I said that I wanted to pick you up and I still do." Clark couldn't help but smile, he was finally going to do it; he was finally going to tell Lex the truth.
A puzzled look crossed Lex's face, "Ok Clark you win; you've intrigued me. How do you plan on getting us to Metropolis without the truck?"
"I don't plan on going to Metropolis." Clark stated.
"Where do you plan on going? Not to the theatre here in Smallville?" Lex really hoped not, he hating the prying eyes of the small town locals whenever Clark and him go places.
"Nope." Clark decided that he would tease Lex a little before getting to the point, not to stall but because he loved getting Lex flustered.
"Okay so we aren't going to Metropolis or staying here in Smallville but we are going somewhere aren't we?" Lex paused waiting for Clark's nod, "Without the truck or Lamborghini?"
"Yup" Clark couldn't help but smile while Lex tried to fit the pieces of answers that Clark was giving him into place in that genius brain of his.
"So Clark gonna tell me where we are going or are you going to continue to make me guess?"
"Well the guessing is fun for me." Clark gave him his mega-watt smile.
"Okay so let me see, we aren't staying here at the mansion (head shake from Clark) and we aren't using a vehicle (another head shake) and we aren't going to your house right?"
Clark chuckled at that, "No Lex don't worry we aren't going back to the farm."
"So where are we going China?" Lex wasn't getting angry per say just frustrated he wasn't used to having people poke fun at him.
"Well I was thinking Paris but if you would rather go to China I can work with that."
