Chapter 1: Lavender and Vanilla ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows But they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles Tell me somethin' just ain't right
I've been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights
"Story of my life, girl except try three damn years, well okay a year and half might as well be three."
She laughs and looks into the rear view mirror; she takes her sunglass off and flips her short black and blue choppy hair out of her eyes, and examines her eye makeup. She winks into the mirror, puts her sunglasses back on and draws her attention back to the road.
"I swear he is going to get a piece of my mind when I get there. Smallville" she shakes her head and turns to a little white dog sitting next to her, " making me drive to Smallville!. Unbelievable, him being the unsentimental asshole that he is moves back to the place where it all began. Tell me their ain't something wrong with that picture." She laughs again and speeds up the red Volkswagen bug, "Something wrong with that picture? Who's the one having long conversations with her self and while driving all the way there? But I'm telling you if it was anyone else, I wouldn't give them the sweat of my brow, and he knows it. For him, though I'd give him my whole eyebrow if it would make him happy. Sorry stuff right there," she says shaking her finger in the air, "never become friends with a multi- billionaire it makes you a sap." She says turning to the dog and then back to the road.
She shakes her head in disgust, while tapping her fingers to the beat of the song. She looks over at the little dog, now sleeping in the seat beside her and smiles.
"Who would have thought, Anastasia Romano would drive back to Smallville, and for a Luthor none the less?" She slows the car down and stares at the green sign a head of her. "Smallville 55 miles," she mumbles, "well we came this far, no turning back now." She accelerates the car to 75 miles mph and speeds off down the deserted highway to the one place that she swore she would never go back to.
Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night
At the hotel
Lex walked into the talon wearing his usual ensemble, a black coat with a dark purple shirt and black pants. Lex couldn't remember the last time he had worn jeans, he figured it must have been when Ana was still in the states, hmm he thought now why did I think of her? Lex had been trying his hardest to forget about the spunky raven-haired girl who he had known since they were in diapers. He thought he had done a very good job of repressing all the memories of her, but here he was thinking about her. Then his thoughts were shattered by a familiar voice yelling his name "Lex"
"Hey Lex", Clark said standing up and waving. Thank god, Clark thought Lana was seriously boring him, and Pete was busy writing something and he knew she would leave if Lex came and sat down with them.
"Hey Clark, Ms. Lang, Mr. Ross," Lex said while walking over to the trio seated in their regular corner of the coffee shop.
I ain't seen the sunshine in three damn days
"Hey Lex," Pete and Lana said. Lana stood up immediately to give Lex her seat and get him his regular coffee. Clark had to try hard not to show his gratitude of Lex sitting down and Lana leaving, but Lex caught on immediately
"You want the regular Lex?" Lana always amazed him, how could someone be so happy all the time and not be on drugs? Lex wish he knew when he was younger it would have saved him multiple trips to the ER.
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever
Change my ways
Lex heard a faint song playing in the background of all the commotion in the Talon; it was unusually packed for 10:30 on a Saturday morning he thought. Lex could just make out the song, it reminded him of something, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was. Then the song started to sound different and closer to him, he was completely confused and startled he looked around until he realized that Clark was singing right next to him. This was one of those times Lex was extremely happy that people couldn't read minds, well with the exception of Ryan he thought.
"I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you
While I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away"
"Clark Kent are you singing?" Lex asked sitting in the vacant seat once habituated by Lana.
Clark blushed, "Yah, I was just singing the song on the radio, its wicked good it's my moms favorite."
Lex laughed to himself "So does the song have a name Clark?"
"You don't know what that song is? You need to get out more, Mr. Luthor." Lana laughed, while placing a cappuccino in front of Lex and 2 hot chocolates down on the table one in front of Clark and the other in front of Pete. Pete seemed like he didn't even notice the beverage now in front of him. He was writing furiously on a piece of paper, Lex had the mind to ask him what had the paper down to him, but he wasn't that juvenile anymore, he reminded himself.
"Lana, Lex please."
"Sorry, Lex its Pictures by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock"
Lex was in complete shock, Kid Rock? He must have missed something because the last song he heard from Kid Rock was Cowboy and it didn't sound anything like the pervious song on the radio and Lex prided himself on being pretty caught up with the newest music hits. "Kid Rock?" he asked perplexed. "The rock star with the long hair and sunglasses, and dates that blonde bimbo? I thought he sang some kind of ."
"Mr. Luthor, are you making fun of me?" Chloe interrupted and pulled up a stray chair next to Clark and sat down, throwing a quick glance at what Pete was writing. Pete immediately looked up and covered his paper with his arm and began writing again " Now I know you didn't just say "blonde bimbo" did you because you seem fair more intelligent to say such a cliché" Chloe said teasingly, she was the only girl he knew besides Ana that would dare to tease him. He cursed at himself again, what is up with all this, Ana stuff he thought.
"Call me Lex, please, and Ms. Sullivan I was referring to the blonde woman that Kid Rock is dating and from what I've heard blonde bimbo is quite an understatement."
"Chloe," she said glaring at him with her piercing green eyes. She reminded Lex of a cat, with her piercing green eyes and the way she prowled through everyone's business but never seemed to get in trouble for it. He had always admired her for that.
"Pamela Anderson," replied Pete not even looking up from what ever it was that he was writing.
"Huh?" everyone said, they were all startled to here his voice. Lex didn't even think he said hello when Lex sat down.
"Pamela Anderson is the blonde bimbo that Kid Rock dates." Pete said annoyed and directed his full attention back to the paper.
"Should I be surprised that you know her name Pete?" Clark joked.
"I have older brothers." Pete, Chloe, and Clark said simultaneously. They all laughed, and for the first time that they have known Lex, they saw him smile, a true genuine smile.
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
if money is such a problem
Well, they got mansions
Think we should rob them
"My plan indeed, except I'm not going to rob him of his money I got enough of that myself. I am going to steal what no one else has done before. I'm going to steal Lex's heart of course metaphorically speaking, ewe blood, Nah just not my thing."
"Shit," she says while rummaging through her purse, after she hears the familiar sound of her cell phone ring. She finally finds it's after three rings, Ana record she thinks "Hello Ana speaking."
"Hey! Chicken, what's up," she exclaims while turning down the radio.
"I'm on my way to Smallville where are... Yah I know... No Niki's right here next to me...," Ana says, looking at the sleeping dog, "I don't know how long. Yes, I realize I just got back.. No. No Jill it has nothing to do with that. Just tell him... Fine then have him call me... No, I do not plan to be here that long. Okay, I will call you. I promise... Yes, yes when in doubt pinkies out... All right, I love you too... Goodbye."
"She's worried about us Niki she thinks this is waste oh well," she says throwing the phone into her purse. She hits the breaks and the car screeches to halt. She looks up and frowns. "Welcome to Smallville, Kansas population 45,001, Meteor Capital of the World," she looks in the rear view mirror and checks her reflection turns up the radio as loud as it will go with A Thousand Miles playing, and hits the pedal.
"So, Lex are you ready to have that interview?" Chloe asks. Pete was still writing frantically as if he had found the cure for AIDS and needed to get his research out of his head and on the paper as fast as possible, Clark was, well Clark was pretending he was reading Animal Farm but Lex and Chloe knew that wasn't what he was really doing. Lex couldn't help to laugh he admired Chloe's dedication. Of course because it was Chloe he was talking to she caught up on the laugh and brusquely quipped, or so he thought "Luthor, what you get some action last night, we got a laugh and a smile out of you today."
Lex was in shock, he couldn't have heard right no one in Smallville talked like that and no one, anywhere said that to him, except. No, he wouldn't bring himself to say it, what was going on with him. "Chloe, what did you just say?'
"I said Lex; you're in a good mood today, laughing, and smiling. Why what did you think I said?" Chloe asked curiously eyebrows raised.
"Nothing," he replied quickly, "just wasn't sure of what you said. Let, me just get another coffee," he said motioning to the empty cup in front of him, "and we can start, I have a few hours free today."
Chloe smiled contently she was going to get the interview, finally.
Ana slowed down as she entered Main Street, it was how she remembered it. She looked out her window at all the shops she remembered going in as a child, suddenly she slammed on her breaks in front of the Talon. "What happened to the old picture show theater," she asked herself. Well, she thought might as well go in I need a coffee anyways. Not paying attention to anything she pulled into a spot behind a nice silver Porsche, she turned to Niki and said "Sweetie, you stay in the car I'll be right out." Ana stepped out of the car and was shocked, " Shit," she swore causing a lady walking down the street with her young son to stare, Ana didn't care though because right in front of her was a car with the license plate Lex. Ana turned around unlocked her car door and sat in the driver's seat, she did not plan on him being here, now she needed a new plan.
Lex stood up and walked to the counter, and waited for Lana to make him a cappuccino. He was standing their debating how much damage Chloe could do with an hour interview when he smelt it; it hit him like a rock thrown at a glass window. Every emotion he had that he had erased found its way back into to his head. All because of a simple smell Lavenders and Vanilla. Lex immediately felt stupid, he was standing in a coffee shop covered in flowers of course he would smell lavenders and vanilla. Lex, told himself, Ana is in Russia. You haven't spoken to her in a little over a year what makes you think she would come to you anyways and in Smallville nether the less. Anastasia might be the only person you know that smells that way, Lex but that doesn't mean she's here, her perfume is popular in Russia and France some one could have bought it.
Clark looked up from his "reading" and saw her she was beautiful. No beautiful was an understatement, she was gorgeous, striking, dazzling and so much more. He had never seen anyone look like that before she was tall maybe only a few inches shorter then he, with fair skin and short choppy black hair with blue highlights she was wearing jeans and a white tank top. She looked amazing her eyes hidden beneath sunglasses, and she was thin but built not like Lana more like Chloe he thought. As she walked past him with such pose and self-control, he smelt it, Lavenders and Vanilla.
"Shit, she thought staring at the back of Lex, "Here goes nothing."
Lex was standing their fighting with himself when he felt a faint tap on his left shoulder. He was confused, no one would tap him on the shoulder except maybe Clark but it wouldn't feel like that. Lex turned around and immediately was faced with a tall girl, who he instantaneously realized was Anastasia and he had to admit she looked more stunning and radiant then he remembered.
She saw the look of surprise in his eyes and knew he was in shock, good she thought this should work perfectly. She also saw every memory she had of him when she looked into his face, she knew that this was going to be difficult but she had to do it.
" Alexander!" she yelled all eyes were on her, no-one had ever heard Lex be called that before, he referred to him as Alexander the Great but no-one had ever dared call him Alexander. Also, most of the costumers in the Talon had never heard a voice like hers, it was sweet but firm like an elementary school teacher, but with a whole lot of power.
"The nerve of you!" Ana said pushing Lex into the counter, "No- calls, although you would not have been able to get through but still, an email a month would have even made me happy and I come back and what do I find! Tell me Alexander what I find!"
Lex was in complete shock here was Ana in his face and yelling at him, and before he could even speak, she started again.
"I find out that you've almost been killed 10 times. 10 times Lex you're like a little child I leave you alone for a short period and all hell breaks lose. I mean God! How stupid and can you be? Huh, I also heard about that Tart you married. Your own fault, I don't care if they say she used some kind of pheromones on you, you knew you wanted to sleep with you and finally a woman tricked you I have a mind to go and thank her for proving to women all over that Alexander Joseph Luthor can be played for a fool. I also have a mind to go and find this Kent Clark kid and give him the what for, on saving your sorry rich ass multiple times. If I was him I would have just gave up one you."
Anastasia paused for a moment to catch her breath and Lex took this as an opportunity to speak.
"Are you through yet?" He asked rather pissed off and irritated. He loved her . wait Luthor's don't love he thought, He liked her for coming all the way here, but he would not be humiliated in front of all these people with her ranting.
"I will tell you when I am through," she yelled, "Lastly why in hell didn't you tell me you moved back to Smallville? HUH? I also must say I read up on your little attempt to take over and give birth to LexCorp and you went about it all wrong, believe me. And another thing, you knew I was coming back from Russia this month and you did not even call! Your father can call me but you cant you have some nerve Luthor. Some nerve."
The Talon was completely silent, except for the music playing in the background, that stupid song again Lex thought to himself.
How have you been
Since you've been gone my world's been
Dark and gray
You reminded me of brighter days
I hoped you were coming home to stay
"You are finished Anastasia?" Lex's question came out more like a demand.
Anastasia shock her head yes.
"We will continue this conversation at the mansion, I believe you know where it is, Anastasia," Lex said rather coldly.
Lex turned and walked away from her.
"Chloe we will have to reschedule once again I apologize. Clark I will talk to you later. Goodbye."
Both teenagers just sat there in amazement, wondering how this girl got away with yelling at him like that.
"I finished!" Pete suddenly exclaimed, unaware of anything that had just transpired in the coffee shop however; he was ignored because all eyes were on Ana waiting for her to say something.
"Shit," Anastasia said after he had left, and bringing everyone back into his or her reality and conversation once again. She did not know what to do; she had not expected Lex to react that way. Ana was pissed, she herself didn't mean to act that way either. "I need a hot chocolate," she said turning her stare to Lana. "Hey Ms. Can you get me a hot chocolate with lots of whip-cream thanks?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Be Continued. Send Reviews I'll put up chapter 2 A.S.A.P
Summary: Anastasia an old friend of Lex's is back in town and Lex is well a little more then unpleased with this situation he has now found himself in. Lex has tried very hard to forget Ana and all that goes with her. But will her presence unearth the truth on why Lex has become the Ice King.
Disclaimer: I do not have anything to do with Smallville in terms of owning sad I know. But hey if one of you does, I am willing to trade my fat beagle Newman for Michael Rosenbaum. Someone who is not me owns all these characters but Anastasia is mine. In addition, no songs I use in this story are mine. Sponge Bob isn't mine either, although I really wish I did own him, because then I would be in the cash.
A/N: This is my first fan fiction so it probably is really bad, so leave me a review please ( any review is fine just be nice to me.
Rating: I don't know I'm thinking PG-13 because I have issues with swearing, meaning I do it a lot.

"Are you through yet?" He asked rather pissed off and irritated. He loved her . wait Luthor's don't love he thought, He liked her for coming all the way here, but he would not be humiliated in front of all these people with her ranting.
"I will tell you when I am through," she yelled, "Lastly why in hell didn't you tell me you moved back to Smallville? HUH? I also must say I read up on your little attempt to take over and give birth to LexCorp and you went about it all wrong, believe me. And another thing, you knew I was coming back from Russia this month and you did not even call! Your father can call me but you cant you have some nerve Luthor. Some nerve."
The Talon was completely silent, except for the music playing in the background, that stupid song again Lex thought to himself.
How have you been
Since you've been gone my world's been
Dark and gray
You reminded me of brighter days
I hoped you were coming home to stay
"You are finished Anastasia?" Lex's question came out more like a demand.
Anastasia shock her head yes.
"We will continue this conversation at the mansion, I believe you know where it is, Anastasia," Lex said rather coldly.
Lex turned and walked away from her.
"Chloe we will have to reschedule once again I apologize. Clark I will talk to you later. Goodbye."
Both teenagers just sat there in amazement, wondering how this girl got away with yelling at him like that.
"I finished!" Pete suddenly exclaimed, unaware of anything that had just transpired in the coffee shop however; he was ignored because all eyes were on Ana waiting for her to say something.
"Shit," Anastasia said after he had left, and bringing everyone back into his or her reality and conversation once again. She did not know what to do; she had not expected Lex to react that way. Ana was pissed, she herself didn't mean to act that way either. "I need a hot chocolate," she said turning her stare to Lana. "Hey Ms. Can you get me a hot chocolate with lots of whip-cream thanks?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Be Continued. Send Reviews I'll put up chapter 2 A.S.A.P
