Although you have probably all guessed the Lex's lady is revealed.

The first time he had ever seen her he had known that she was something out of the ordinary. He remembered the day that they had first begun their relationship. Nearly six months ago he had been sitting in his office at home when hearing the door open he assumed that it was his butler bring the tea he had requested.

"It's not your tea lady Lex"

His eyes left his work and settled on her, she looked amazingly radiant today, and quirky. Quirkiness was something he liked about her. This woman was original and he decided he approved of that.

"No I see that it's not"

Seating herself opposite and placing her wrapped box in front of me she settled back in the chair. Glancing at the box I sent her a puzzled expression. Smiling she just walked around the table neatly gathered up my work and placed it on the window ledge behind us. Lowering herself to the chair again she simply said

"I know you high powered business types lead such busy lives but don't try to tell me that you don't know what day it is today"

My birthday. And she had remembered, not that I recollect telling her; but I imagine that really wasn't a problem for her.

"Yes I see you do know, oh your 22 by the way"

That was what I also admired about her she doesn't hesitate in taking the Mickey out of me. Standing over the present I began to untie the blue bow that encased the silver paper, I let her chatter.

"Well I thought that as you did so much for me over the past year, and you seem to never let others do things for you it was time that I redressed the balance. Lex I'm not the only one am I?"

Who remembered my birthday? No but you're the only one that counts my mind said

I finally undress the package and delve inside the box it's filled with shredded paper and mini polystyrene balls.

"I thought it was time you made a mess you always seem so tidy. Always neat as a pin"

Taking the jar out of it's encasing I passed my eyes over the label, it read MARMALADE in bright red letters. Noticing another box I gently unwrapped its form, inside was a tiny gold charm its lines shaped and took the appearance of an angel.

"You don't have to wear it, just keep it on you. It's so that you have your own personal guardian angel. The Marmalade is from England my cousin visited there for her holiday and I asked her to bring me some back. I remembered you saying that you couldn't find any around here, and well you go to great lengths to help us so I decided to do the same for you"

Walking around and resting by her side I looked into her eyes

"Thank you Miss Sullivan"

"Chloe, its Chloe. I thought it would be nice if we were on first name terms now"

"Thank you Chloe"
