Chapter Two: V is very, very extraordinary
Lex sat down behind his desk in the Talon office and watched, amused, as Chloe seemed to struggle to start the interview. For some reason she was blushing rather furiously, but she hadn't made any mention as to the reason for her embarrassment. "Just take your time." Lex said, the ever apparent smirk back in full force.
"I'm getting there, Luthor. Interviews take prep time. If I had known that you were going to grant me one out of the blue like this, I would have come prepared."
"Back to last names, eh Sullivan? Oh, and don't even bother denying that you haven't been ready for this since our last attempt at an interview."
"Oh, you mean time where you completely blew me off and I got thrown out of a window, Luthor?" Chloe snarked, her hands on her hips in annoyance at the remembrance of the night.
'God she's so beautiful when she looks at me like that.' Lex thought, his eyes darkening in desire. With a quick shake to clear his head, Lex turned his mind back to the present. "Ready yet, Chloe?"
"Ready, S-Lex---" Chloe's eyes widened at her near slip and she began coughing furiously to cover it up, her face turning even redder.
"That's quite a cough you've got there, Chloe. Are you alright? We can do the interview another time, I promise." Lex stated in concerned voice, not seeming to notice the slip.
"Oh you're not getting out of it that easy, Luthor." 'Yes,' Chloe thought, 'stick to his last name. There's less chance for further embarrassment that way. Oh God, I can't believe I said that.'
Lex held his hands up as if to say, 'fine' and looked at her silently for a moment before speaking. "You haven't asked me anything yet, Chloe."
"I'm aware of that, it's just that I don't---"
"Really know what to ask?" Lex cut in for her. "The world must be coming to an end. Chloe Sullivan, this state's finest reporter, at a loss for words."
"You really think I'm a good reporter?"
"Finally, a question! Yes Chloe, I really believe that you're that great of a reporter."
"Thank you, Lex. It's what I've always wanted to do. I would hope that I would be at least a little bit good at it by now." Chloe said with a smirk on her face. She then paused a moment, considering something. "I have a question for you. What would you have been if you had not been who you are today?"
"You mean, if I hadn't been a Luthor?" Chloe nodded in response. "Well, that is an interesting question. I don't think I've ever thought about it."
"Here we go, you're stalling again Lex." Chloe said with a roll of her eyes.
"I'm not stalling, I really don't know how to answer that. I have never been anything but what was expected of me." Lex paused and smirked. "Well, that's not entirely true. I don't suppose my father ever expected me to get expelled from." Lex counted on his fingers. "9 schools in one year. No, I don't think he expected that at all."
"9 schools in one year?!" Chloe spluttered. "I mean, I'm sure there must have been reason for it." Chloe attempted to recover at Lex's amused look. "Would you mind telling me what the reasons for your expulsions were?" Chloe asked, trying to regain her professionalism.
"Oh lots of things, I guess. Let me see.I blew up a chemistry lab at one school, I got into fights at a few others, you know, general rebellious kid stuff."
"You blew up a chemistry lab? Do I even want to know what you were attempting when that happened?" Before Lex could speak she cut him off. "No, I don't want to know. What were the fights over though?"
"I got into fights over a lot of things. Mostly due to my attitude."
"Your attitude? What about your attitude?" Chloe asked.
"I was a spoiled little arrogant prick, I admit. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up either. First I was the little orange haired asthmatic freak, and then I was the bald 9 year old."
"You really had orange hair like they say?" Chloe asked with a smirk on her face.
Lex rolled his eyes. "Yes, Chloe. I had horribly curly bright orange hair. Think Carrot top."
Chloe tried to stifle the giggle that threatened to burst forth, but Lex raised a hand. "Go ahead and laugh. It's alright. You're beautiful when you laugh."
Chloe laughed for quite a while before she registered what Lex had said. "Lex, do you really think I'm beautiful?" She asked, with somewhat out of character timidness.
Lex wanted to groan and try and deny his slip, but he found he couldn't lie to her. 'Well, here goes everything.' He thought cynically. "Yes, Chloe. I think you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever met." Not bothering to glance at her reaction, Lex decided to go for the gold, knowing that he would be damned for it. "You are funny, intelligent, free spirited, feisty, sexy.you are everything Chloe. I think you always have been for me. Since the day I first laid eyes on you in the Torch office." He finally glanced up to meet her eyes. Blue warring with hazel. "Go ahead and slap me. I deserve it. Go ahead and tell everyone that I'm the devil. I don't care, Chloe. I-" Lex was cut off by Chloe's lips pressed firmly against his own.
Throughout Lex's speech, Chloe firm resolve not to jump Lex Luthor right there in the office weakening. She would have melted when he called her beautiful if it had not been for the overwhelming desire to be solid so she could kiss him. It was his statement of calling her his everything that had been the drop of water that overfilled the bucket. She found herself reaching around the desk to kiss him. And the kiss..well, it had been a kiss to end all kisses. It had started off rather timid on Chloe's part, she was surprised at her own boldness, but had evolved into something so much more. If life had been a movie, fireworks would be going off and rose petals would be raining from the ceiling. When Chloe felt the tip of Lex's tongue press lightly but insistently at her closed mouth, she obliged him and opened it, deepening the kiss even more. Chloe felt herself instinctively pressing close to Lex, trying somehow to fuse their bodies into one. 'Too many clothes..' Her mind fairly shouted at her. Slipping her hands under Lex's jacket, she pulled it off of him, their lips never separating. Once her hands had untucked his shirt and slipped underneath, however Lex broke away from the kiss.
"As much as I am enjoying this, Chloe, and believe me I am, don't you think things are going a bit too fast? I mean, I didn't even realize you felt the same way that I do."
"What? That I have wanted to be with you ever since I found you in my office with Clark?" Chloe asked, not taking her hands out from under his shirt. "To be honest, I never felt I had a chance with you. First you were with that slut Victoria, then that psycho pseudo wife of yours, then-" At Lex's grimace and slight pull away, she tightened her hold on his sides. "I'm sorry, Lex. I guess..I mean, I know you probably cared for them."
"Never." Lex answered with authority. "I might have thought I did, but I never fully cared for them, Chloe. Not how I care for you." Chloe blushed at his words.
"I care for you too, Lex." She let the statement hang in the air a few seconds before continuing. "So, where do go from here? I mean, are you my boyfriend now? My dad would probably freak out at the concept, but I don't think I care."
"Boyfriend, huh?" Lex seemed to consider it. "It makes me sound like I'm back in high school again. Oh God, what a memory." Chloe pinched his side lightly.
"You haven't answered my question, Alexander."
"Hey, watch it with those! Your hands are cold!" Lex mock protested. Chloe rolled her eyes. "Yes Chloe, I will be your boyfriend." He leaned in to capture her in another searing kiss.
'Lex is my boyfriend. Lex is my boyfriend.' Chloe had to repeat it to herself to get it straight in her mind as her senses slowly stopped working under the onslaught of Lex's kiss. I wonder what Clark will think?' At that last thought, Chloe lost herself in the kiss.
