Summary: Chloe makes a bet with herself that she can
forget all about Clark by focusing on none other than the
infamous Lex Luthor.
Disclaimer: I was still infuriated about the poker game,
so, taking after my favorite t.v. character, Chloe, I researched
this infuriating man. I found that he worked for something called
"Warner Brothers." I walked through the front doors of
the WB building like I knew what I was doing and no one stopped
me. What can I say? I look confident. So I made my way up to his
office and I knocked down the door. Suddenly I felt the floor
against my cheek. What's happening? I try to look around,
but I can't. Someone strong was holding me down. Then I heard his
voice. That terrible voice of his booming with authority.
"It's alright guys, I know who she is. She's harmless."
They let me get up and I pounced on the man in front of me. He
was too calm. He said to me with authority, "I know, I know.
It must be hard. But you have to accept it. Smallville belongs to
me." Damn Bastard.
Notes: Oh goshies! I love reviews and there were so many
of them! I'm so excited! You guys are the best readers ever! I
never thought that I would get reviews! And I got so many! You
guys are so great! I love you all so very much! Hehe. But really,
I'm glad you enjoyed the first chapter of my fan-fic so far and
I'm excited to continue it. Thanks for your support!!
Chapter Two: Following Through

Lex and Chloe walked outside of the Talon where the car was
parked. He opened the door for her and helped her inside. He
quickly walked around to the driver's side and climbed in. He
started the car and pulled out into the street.
I can't believe I'm going to Lex Luthor's house for dinner.
Scratch that! I can't believe he asked me to go to his house for
dinner! She sighed again, but this time it was out of
contentment. She looked around his car and was truly amazed.
"Nice wheels," she said as she looked intently at the
inside of his expensive sports car. She had seen it a few times
before, but had never actually ridden in it. Wow, I wonder
what it would be like behind the wheel, she thought.
"Thanks. The rest of the car is pretty nice, too," he
replied, the illustrious smirk in place. He looked over at her
and winked. She chuckled lightly at his joke. She was truly happy
at that moment. She wasn't wallowing in self-pity about her
unrequited love anymore. She was spending time with a guy,
correction, a man, who seemed to really enjoy
her company.
Then a thought struck her. Oh, Chloe. How could you have been
so naive? When he had asked her to dinner she had thought
that maybe he could have held at least some interest in her. But
now it came clear to her. He was a friend of Clark's, and
therefore a friend by association. This entire evening was
probably only an attempt at cheering her up and nothing more. She
felt her heart fall at this sudden realization.
Lex noticed the change in mood almost immediately. He looked over
at her and noticed the deeply sad look on her face. A look that
one would have after the beloved family pet died.
"Chloe, are you alright?" His voice was so sincere and
compassionate that it startled her.
His question managed to snap her out of the depressing thoughts
and she replied non-chalantly, "Oh, yeah, everything's fine.
I just remembered I have a history test on Monday." That
almost sounded believable, she congratulated herself.

Chloe was a terrible liar. Lex could see right through it.
Something was bothering her, but he decided not to push it. He
nodded and focused back on the road.
He really hated it when she was sad. Especially if it was related
to Clark Kent. Why can't she see that he's perfect for Lana,
and that she is perfect for someone else? Like me. Oh! I did not
just think that!
But the truth was, he had always been attracted to Chloe; her
funky but cute style, the way she wasn't intimidated by his power
or money, and most importantly how she was so stubborn and
adventerous.
Sometimes he would catch himself staring at her, not in the way
Clark stared at Lana, but in a much more intimate and discreet
manner. He'd find himself watching her ass as she walked away, or
how she would lick her lips just before she took a sip of her
coffee. But most of all, he loved to look at her when she would
have her first sip of her first cup of coffee. As she savored it
in her mouth, she would gently close her eyes while the taste
stayed on her tongue. She looked so incredibly sexy like that.
And so many things he wanted her to do with that tongue.
He finally remembered that he needed to contact the cooks and
inform them of the extra person attending dinner. He pulled out
his cell phone and called his own house. When one of his servants
answered, he replied, "Yes, could you please inform the
cooks to make dinner for two tonight?" After he received an
answer he hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.

Chloe sighed. They finally arrived at his house, more like a
castle! She had been there before, but she'd rather forget
about that visit. Falling out of the window was hardly a visit,
she reminded herself.
Lex climbed out of the car and walked over to the passenger side,
letting her out. She smiled at him as he took her hand to help
her out. Much to her surprise, even after they were on their way
inside, he was still holding it.
Wow, I wonder if he felt all tingly like I did when he took my
hand. Wow, I sound like a love-sick teenager. She sighed to
herself. She was really starting to like Lex, but she didn't
think she would ever have a chance with him.
They made their way inside and he turned to her and asked,
"I hope you like pasta, because that is what is on the menu
for tonight."
She turned to him and said, "Oh, I love pasta!" She
smiled a genuine smile to him as he let go of her hand and led
her to the dining room. The cook brought out the pasta and placed
it on the table. Lex pulled out a seat for Chloe and motioned for
her to sit down. Wow, he can be really polite when he wants to
be.
She took her seat and watched him walk to the other side of the
table to his own. Gosh, I could look at his ass all day long
and never get bored! Woah, Chloe, calm down those damn raging
teenage hormones! She felt herself blush and focused on the
food in front of her.
* * *
* * *
* * * *
Lex watched her focus intently on her food and chuckled. "No
matter which way you look at it, it's not going to change."
She blushed profusely, but recovered herself.
"Oh, I wasn't waiting for it to change, I was just making
sure you didn't tell the cook to put something in it," she
quipped.
"And why would I do that, Chloe?" he accented her name
in that sexy, husky voice of his.
"Maybe because I'm too smart for my own good and the
downfall of LexCorp could happen in the palms of my hands."
He smiled. She was so confident, unlike the other women he had
"dated" in the past. They were only in it for the money
and reputation. But Chloe on the other hand, was with him only to
enjoy the presence of his company.
He was enjoying himself so much and he hoped that she was as
well. They ate in silence, but everyone knows that fun will
always ensue afterwards!

Chloe had decided that no matter his reasons, she was going to
have fun tonight. Well, she kind of had to. She had made a bet,
and she never loses a bet. Well, except when she does, and then
she doesn't count it. (Haha, lame... I know)
"So, Lex, have you ever thought about getting married? I
mean, such a large house, yet it's so empty! It must be spooky at
times."
"Now Chloe, you wouldn't happen to be implying a desire to
marry me, now would you?" Lex responded. She let out an
extremely unladylike snort.
"Oh! No, not at all. But 'it is a truth universally
acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a large fortune
must be in want of a wife.' " She watched him smile with
recognition of the quote.
"Never pinned you as a Jane Austen fan," was his reply.
"So you've been thinking about pinning me, have you?"
she replied sexily. Oh my gosh! Where in the world did that
come from?
She watched him choke for a second, completely stunned at her
sexual innuendo. She smirked at him.
"So, Lex," she said, "it's still early. How about
we watch a movie or something?"
He raised his eyebrow at her question, but eventually replied,
"Sure."
He led the way to his home theatre, collections of DVDs and VHS
tapes adorning the walls. Chloe gasped at the sight. This man
really likes movies!

Lex watched her go through his video collection as he sat down on
the couch facing the big screen TV. She is so beautiful,
he thought. Her blonde hair was shining in the low light, her
shirt tugging at her curves, and her pants effectively showing
the shape of her perfect figure.
His thoughts started wandering to unmentionable things (well at
least unmentionable at this point in this story) and he could
feel the tightness in his slacks. Gosh, Lex, she's only a
kid. She may not act like a kid, or definitely not look like a
kid, but she's only sixteen. You need to control yourself!
He let his eyes wander all over her after she popped in a random
DVD and made her way over to the couch. She sat next to him, not
too close and yet not too far. The movie started, and they both
tried to focus on the TV screen, but it was too hard for both of
them.
