Wasted

"Oh right... I wanted to call back but I didn't have time to hunt down your telephone number." Chloe explained, wondering why Lex all of a sudden seemed angry with her.
"Yes well I suppose fucking your boyfriend was more important that talking to me," he mumbled irritably under his breath.
Chloe's jaw dropped slightly at his comment, and she leaned forward to the man, giving him a sharp flick on the nose with her middle finger and thumb.
"Ouch!" Lex yelled, "What was that for?!"
"Don't you dare talk about me like that ever again Luthor. Eric and I are just friends- not to mention the fact that he'd rather sleep with YOU because he's as gay as gay could be!" Chloe yelled, quite insulted.
"...well if you're into gay guys then it's no wonder you didn't want to speak with me," Lex stated. "You know what? At the rate I'm going maybe you should give your friend my number. I wonder if my dad's will said anything about marrying a guy... shit. I've officially gone off the edge."
Chloe smiled somewhat sympathetically. She glanced at the crumpled piece on the floor and picked it up to read. "Was this the lucky list of potentials?"
"Yep"
"You called all of them?"
"Phone bill's so high I may have to sell this appartment and move into a cardboard box."
"I have a couple left over from the move- feel free to stop by and have a look at them."
"Really?!"
"Sure- If you hurry I'll throw in some free bubble wrap. Now let's get back to the list... what about Crystal?"
"Engaged."
"Dana?"
"Married."
"Jenny?"
"I slept with her then never called."
"Lydia?"
"Going out out with Jenny."
"Lex! Where are you going to find a woman you haven't slept with that you can trust with your money?"
"Canada?"
"You're never going to inherit your dad's fortune at the rate you're going."
"Oh yes, you still think this is all about the money..."
"What else is there?"
"Think about it Sullivan... if I loose my fortune the company will be divided among the shareholders..."
"Oh..." Chloe said in realisation. If that happened it was likely that pieces of the corporation would be broken off and sold piece by piece. Hundreds of people -including her father- would loose there jobs.
"I-I never even thought about that." Chloe murmerred. "I need to go back to the dorm and see if I can come up with a loophole around this will of yours."
"Don't you think I've tried Sullivan?!" Lex asked frustratedly.
"Well I'm not just going to stand by while my dad loses his job!" Chloe snapped back at him.
"Fine... let me walk you out," Lex said, forgetting he was still in a handstand position.
"No! Lex don't-"
But it was too late. The whole thing felt like it happened in slow motion. Lex's wrist twisted backwards colliding into the jagged edge of the wall forcing his legs over his head and his heel... into Chloe's eye.
