Disclaimer - I own none of them, except Pacifica and Owen
Chp 14
Then it happened almost a week after Lex left for Metropolis and there they ran into each other at the Talon. Lana called for Pacifica to come and help her in the kitchen after she got her coffee, she turned from the ordering counter with a hot styrofoam cup of French Vanilla holding against her chest and there was Lex next in line "Excuse me" was all she said and made her way to the kitchen. Lana told her that she was trying for her and Lex not to have a confrontation in front of everyone, and apologized that she even had to see him, even though Lex was Lana's friend what he did was mean. Then told her that the new bus boy, Owen and her starting somewhat dating, "I guess things are working out with the new guy" Pacifica joked. Lana also wanted advice as to how to tell Clark, "Just tell him the truth" was all she said. At the end of their conversation Pacifica gave Owen a wicket smile, as if saying I know. Outside the kitchen doors, she scanned to see if Lex was still there, he wasn't so she made her way outside, and there he was, he was just as bad as those unwanted internet pop ups. As she passed him he called out "How did you hurt your wrists?" not wanting to answer him, coz it was none of his business, but also not wanting him to get too suspicious "At night I tripped over some unpacked boxes, and fell hands first, the bruises moved to the wrists, "I bruise easily" she threw in a hidden meaning there, hoping he would catch it, and he did. She stared at him, to see if he believed her, not that she cared, but for Clark's sake, he didn't question her. He apologized for not calling her sooner as he's been back since Monday morning, works been keeping him business. "Not a problem" she answered as she started walking again. Lex thought that he was in the clear, by her answer and stopped her from proceeding. "So would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" he now was acting as if nothing happened and cocky. She moved closer to him so that her lips brushed against his ear lobe, he felt as if a bolt of electricity moved through him, and thought to himself "This was a easy defeat" "Highly doubt it, you reek of another women" she whispered to him then walked off, leaving him just standing there. It takes a lot to stump Lex and she did it to a T. He turned to watch her and she never turned around to look at him "How the hell could.. does she know?" he thought. As she turned the corner, from the corner of her eyes she saw him staring at her, but she went on and passed the corner she stopped and lightly slammed her back against the building wall "I can't believe that I still have such strong feelings for him...... oh the way I felt when we touched" she couldn't believe that she had butterflies. Back at the mansion Lex thrashed the study "How'd she know?" was all he keep saying, once the Cognac kicked in and he calmed down. "Why am I so upset that she's mad at me?" things like that kept popping into his head "Could I have started to have feelings for her". Getting angry with himself all over again the words of his father rang in his ears "Luthor's don't have feelings, we don't fall in love, love is a myth" then the empty Cognac glass flew across the room and smashed in to tiny little pieces. Lex left the study and told the maid to have the study ready by morning, he was retiring for the night.
Clark's heart was crushed, and Lana didn't know what more to say, she'd already explained that they had a weird relationship to begin with and that this was not any different. He wanted to hurt her as much as he was now, by telling her about Pacifica and him, but bit his tongue and let Lana leave. There he sat in the farm loft, Pacifica on her front porch steps and Lex in his bed, all wondering about the same thing, love. Days turned into weeks and weeks into 4 months. Lex and Pacifica hardly ever saw each other and if they did it was in public with the group of fiends and they pretty much stayed away from each other. Clark and Lana were doing alright for the most part, Clark accepted Owen into the group. Chloe and Pete watched everyone from the side lines and Chloe's nose for news was always on and she made sure she was up to date with the happenings of her fiends, just in case some one ever needed to talk, everyone seemed so empty inside without the ones they wanted.
