Of Twisted Hearts ~ 2

Chapter 2

Lana couldn't understand why her heart was beating so fast in her chest. But sure enough as the taxi passed different streets her heart went faster and faster. She was done with work and heading over to Luthor mansion. Sure she had thought that Lex Luthor was handsome but that had nothing to do with this, right? The taxi stopped, she got out and paid the driver. Taking a deep breath she walked up the steps for the second night in a row. There was something different this time though, she felt more nervous. She choose to ignore it. This time she went straight for pushing the door bell. The door opened up, Mercy answered it her face went from happy to annoyed within seconds. "Oh, you again," Mercy mumbled.

Lana tried to hide how rude she thought the comment was, but she wasn't doing that good of a job of hiding it. "I'm here to see Mr. Luthor," she explained.

Mercy rolled her eyes and wore a bored mask, like she was trying to hide some sort of emotion. Lana couldn't understand what her deal was. Mercy just started walking in the direction of Lex's office.

"I know the way to Mr. Luthor's office," Lana spoke up.

Mercy seemed to ignore her and kept walking in long strides. Lana found it kind of hard to keep up with her. Thank goodness she was wearing her dress pants instead of her tight pencil skirt. They walked into Lex's office. Now that Lana had been there before it didn't look that large this time. Mercy left her in the room and shut the door behind her.

Lex was on his cell phone. He smiled at her and pointed at the cell in his hand. She smiled and nodded her head in understanding. He motioned for her to sit across from him. He said a few things, then she noticed he started to have this 'can't they just shut up' face. Then he pulled the phone away a little and mouthed 'I'm sorry.' She smiled and waved it off to let him know it was fine. Finally after ten more minutes Lex said to whoever was on the other side that he would talk to them tomorrow. He turned off his cell phone and turned his attention towards Lana.

"I am so sorry about that, Miss Lang. I was finishing making a deal. And Tony has been known to get off topic many times," he explained.

"It's alright. I understand business is important and I like to see you take your company seriously," Lana replied with a smile.

"I see you've already figured me out," Lex replied a chuckle.

Lana chuckled back. Lex smiled and winked at her. Lana felt her cheeks raise with heat. He must have noticed because his smile became wider as she blushed. "Are you flirting with me?" she asked him with a smile.

"That would depend on if it's working or not," Lex answered with a smirk.

Lana covered her face in her hands and couldn't help but smile. Looking back at him she noticed that he looked like he was faking a smile and nervous about her response. There was a part of her brain shouting at her to reassure him. But the other part was shouting things like 'what? You don't even know him.' Without another thought she replied, "Perhaps it is, Mr. Luthor."

She smiled at him with a wide grin and he in turn grinned back. His back seemed to be less tense and he didn't seem to be faking a smile anymore. "Please, Miss Lang. Call me Lex," he replied still grinning wide.

Lana smiled bright. "Only if you call me Lana," she replied coyly.

Lex smirk and answered, "That I will, Lana."

"I am glad to hear it, Lex."

He looked down at his desk and Lana remembered why she was here. How could she have forgotten what she had come here for?

"So Lex, yesterday you mentioned a bit of research that you and your company has been looking into. Would you care to explain it a bit more, I couldn't understand it fully by the little you told me," Lana said, returning to business.

"I see that you are all business, Miss... I mean Lana," was Lex's response.

"Getting the truth out is part of my work," Lana replied seriously.

"And I admire that about you. So many people have jobs they don't even care about. And yet you seem to make the most of yours."

"And normally people who have a lot of money are too busy buying fancy cars to care about the greater good," Lana remarked.

"True," Lex said. "Anyway, I forgot the question," he added, tilted his head to the side.

Lana chuckled and asked the question yet again. For about three hours they talked, mostly about his business. Somewhere along the way they talked about TV shows. "What is you're favorite family TV show?" Lex asked eagerly.

"Full House," Lana replied honestly.

"Really?" Lex asked in shock. "I always liked The Addams Family. The Munsters was always cool too. But The Addams Family was the bomb."

"Have you ever watched Full House?" Lana asked him.

"I have and I enjoy it very much," Lex replied.

"Who was your favorite character from Full House?"

"Joey, best character, funny, charming and friendly. Can't go wrong with Joey. Who was your favorite?" Lex asked excitedly.

"Uncle Jesse. He was so cool. I loved how much he loved Elvis. And the awesome leather jackets. He was my first celebrity crush," Lana explained.

"Oh, so I see I have competition," Lex joked. He crossed his arms across his chest and pretended to look angry. That was until he and Lana ended up bursting into laughter.

"Well it's good to see you aren't always serious," Lana said as soon as she could breath again.

"Oh, I am always like this," Lex answered honestly.

They started to crack up again. Lana truly loved to laugh. And Lex seemed happy to allow her the chance to. Looking over at the clock Lana noticed it was midnight and she should really be getting home. Luckily she had ate before so she wasn't starving. "It's been a pleasure," Lana started.

"But you have to go," Lex finished, his face dropped. Or at least that's what Lana thought she caught. It changed to a smile within seconds. "I'll walk you to the door," he suggested.

Lana found herself standing next to Lex yet again through the hallway. And was met with an even scarier look from Mercy, if that was possible. "I was wondering if you would like to take a tour of LexCrop tomorrow?" Lex said as they stood by the door.

"I would like that, Lex. But I have an interview with Bruce Wayne," Lana explained.

Lex's face dropped and he frowned. "Well maybe some other time? Maybe if you're free? If you would like to?" he asked, fumbling on his words.

"I would like that," Lana replied with a smile.

Lex's face shined bright again. "I would be glad to have you," he said. Then he winced at his poor choice of wording. "I meant I might give you a tour," Lex explained.

Lana chuckled, "Yes, I figured that."

Lex was blushing with embarrassment but smiled at her. "Well, Lana it's been a pleasure," he said shaking her hand.

"I'll see you around, Lex," Lana replied.

When he was about to walk through the door he turned back and replied, "I look forward to it."
