Operation: DeFloweration
Entry #4 – September 16th
DAMN! DAMN! AND DOUBLE DAMN!
Hi there! As you can tell, I'm a bit upset. I now understand what the term "spitting nails" means. I can't believe what happened! The urge to do violence is tremendous. TREMENDOUS! Sorry...you have no idea what I'm talking about...so let me start from the beginning...
Today started off well enough. My dad left for work as usual. I almost wished I could go with him just so I could have a glimpse of Lex. Bah! How pathetic is that? I'm sounding like one of those irritating girls that I have major contempt for.
Antha, I pray, I never become like that. OH NO! I am becoming like that. Enough! Think snark! Sarcasm is your friend. Okay...back to normal.
I went to school as normal. Seeing the school and its students helped me remember why I'm usually so contemptuous. Remarkably, classes passed by quickly. At the end of classes, Clark and Lana stopped by The Torch. They say it was to offer me their assistance. I say it was to more or less torture me with their horrid displays of affection. Where is a rusted fork when you need it?
I'm just glad they haven't resorted to calling each by pet names. If that day every dawned, I would most assuredly FOREVER ban them from entering my office.
I assured them I didn't need their help and I quickly sent them on their way. I needed to be alone. I needed total concentration. I was meeting Lex at the mansion around dusk. The totally sinful thought that 'maybe, dreams could come true' whizzed through my mind. Who knows?
I'd decided to bring my outfit to school. If my dad saw me leave the house like that, he'd know something was definitely up. He may be spacey but the man is no fool. He'd think I was off on some investigation and technically, he would right. No, better play it safe.
Besides, I could think of a strategy here in the privacy of my office.
Hmm...should I walk in seductively? Nope! Not going to work. Perhaps when I entered I should walk towards my seat with my eyes glued to his. Nope! I'd miss the seat and end up on the floor. Goodness, why does this have to be so hard? I have to think of something.
Amazing how time flies when one is contemplating the strategies of seduction. Hey...I like that...
The timer on my computer screen went off announcing the time had arrived.
Antha, I have to admit that I was very nervous. My hands were visibly shaking.
I dressed as quickly as I could. To my surprise, everything fit beautifully. I looked at my reflection at a handy mirror that I brought with me. It's a shame that it wasn't a full-length mirror but from the top up I look pretty enough. My hair was framed in natural curls and for once looked manageable and controlled. My make up was minimal. A lot of stuff on my face always makes me feel as if I'm walking around with a mask on.
Anyway...I looked fine. Okay... I was ready. I left school and practically ran all the way to my car. At my car, I looked around surreptitiously. Thank GOD there were no students around. I can just imagine the jokes.
In the car, my nervousness increased. I forced a few deep breaths in order to calm myself. My experience in this field is pretty much non-existent. I was five minutes away, when my dream decided to pay a visit. The image of Lex's heated gaze made my blood pressure rise, and in a good way this time.
I was almost there when all of a sudden drops began to fall upon my windshield. Oh NO! It can be. NOT THAT! But of course it was. Rain. It would be my horrible luck. Well at least it's not pouring. And of course, the rain became fiercer. RATS! And I left my jacket back at school. NOT FAIR!
I briefly wondered if I should just call and cancel but then my dream literally flashed before me. What am I crazy? There is no canceling.
I arrived at the mansion and quickly made a mad dash towards the door. I realized that I'd forgotten the papers I needed, so I ran back to the car and then back to the door again. Needless to say, I was huffing and puffing when the butler appeared in front of me. I must have been a frightful sight.
So much for a sophisticated entrance.
I forcibly cleared my throat and announced that I had an appointment with Lex. The butler looked at me for a few seconds, I guess debating whether I was telling him the truth or not. I couldn't blame him. I could just picture myself. One big wet rag doll... How in the world am I supposed to get Lex's attention?
The butler finally relented and allowed me to pass. He guided me towards the familiar doors I knew so well. Lex was in his study. My heartbeat quickened and I may have picked up the pace. I wanted desperately to fix myself before entering but I squelched the urge. He opened the door and I quickly sailed in. (Or at least I think it was sailing. What does sailing into a room mean?)
I thought my entrance was magnificent. The only problem is I wished I'd had an audience who would have appreciated my entrance. Lex was not in the room.
Perfect.
The least he could have done is told me...I thought glaring at the butler's back as he was leaving.
I thought "Okay. This is not a problem. Lex will be here soon."
I sat down to await his arrival. I waited and waited. I looked at my watch. Ten minutes had passed since I arrived. He should be here any minute. Five minutes passed. Then another ten.
Soon my blood began to rise again (and most definitely not in a good way!) and with that, my temper. Of all the rotten...crappy...inconsiderate things to do!
He's doing this on purpose. I know he is... The RAT!
A total of forty minutes passed by before the man graced me with his presence. By then, I was livid. I glared at him as he entered. He stared back in some surprise.
"Ms. Sullivan. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." He responded to my glare. I wanted to hold back my tongue. I really did but the urge to snark was just too great.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting?" I growled uncontrollably as I stood. His eyes slowly took in every inch of me and that strange gleam was back in his eyes. He noticed me. It was just what I wanted... only I was too furious with the jerk to care.
"Ah – no..." He began warily.
"Forty minutes. F-O-R-T-Y MINUTES! Do you know what it feels like to sit in a chair for FORTY MINUTES in WET clothes?" I asked viciously passing a hand over my outfit.
His eyes once again raked my body and darkened as they fell upon the area right under my neck. Did I notice? NOOOOO! I was on a 'justified tirade'.
Hell, I should really just give up this seduction business.
"Of course not! The great LEX LUTHOR does not have to wait for anything."
He was about to comment on my remark but I, regrettably, cut him off.
"Obviously, you have a problem with the term 'consideration'. Get this, Luthor. I have a life and it does not revolve around your availability." I barked.
"I'm truly sorry for my tardiness. If you have plans, perhaps we should postpone this meeting for some other time." Lex responded.
Just then the true meaning of his words hit me like a ton of bricks. UNBELIEVABLE! UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE! He thought I was dressed like this for someone else! Why must I be tortured like this? If I just had a brick...
"NO!" I said a little too quickly. 'Chloe, you need to calm down and do some major damage control.' I thought.
"I mean...let's just get this over with." I snarked again. Aaah!! I'm so horrible at this.
"As you wish, Ms. Sullivan." He responded with a small smile. The way with which he called me by name just rubbed me the wrong way. It sounded like he was humoring a mad woman.
"Will you STOP that!" I yelled unable to help myself. The surprise in his gorgeous eyes and the way his eyebrows shot upwards told me I had just stuck my foot, yet again, in my mouth.
Why does this have to be so difficult?
"What I mean to say is..." I began a little less heatedly. "Please call me Chloe. Ms. Sullivan makes me sound like I have one foot in the grave."
I gave him a weak smile. HE THINKS I'M DERANGED. After a few very long seconds, he returned my smile.
"All right, Chloe. I'm truly sorry that I kept you waiting." He said gallantly.
Antha, the way he said my first name had me soaring. I wanted to giggle like a school-girl. AND I DO NOT GIGGLE!
"So, how can I help you?" Lex began as he sat down in his chair behind his desk. My mouth went dry and I again recalled my dream.
'You can start by letting me take full advantage of you.' I thought wickedly. I must have not answered because he was calling me by name again.
"Chloe?"
'I really need to stop the daydreaming. It's bad enough he thinks I'm a deranged mad woman. There's no need for him to think I'm flighty on top of that.'
"I – ah – ah – Papers! Yes! Papers... You need to sign." I stuttered. My thinking process was on the fritz again.
"I see. What papers were they again?" His eyes and his tone turned wary again. I couldn't help the grin that formed on my face.
"Don't worry Lex. I promise I won't have you sign too much of your fortune away." I teased. Wait...did I just do that? The look of surprise was back in his eyes again.
"Believe me, the thought never entered my mind." He commented with his usual smirk.
Mmmhmm...Liar! But he is so damn cute though.
"Well that's a relief. Then, I guess you won't mind signing the papers without reading them, will you?" I taunted yet again.
Good heavens, I am on a roll.
His smirk intensified as he held out his hand for the papers. I handed them over easily. Now here is the part I definitely strategized...
After looking them over briefly, Lex asked "Where do I sign?" This is exactly what I wanted to happen.
"Let me see." I said quickly standing up and coming around the corner of his desk. I made "mmmmming" noises as I closely stood next to him pretending to study the papers. I made sure he had ample view of my PERKY breasts. I just wished I could look at his face to see if he was looking.
"I believe it's..." My voice lowered and I strategically turned my face so that our faces were inches away. GOD! He was breathtaking up close. His eyes were more blue than gray with a few golden flecks within them. It was as if time stood still and a magic spell held us within its grasp. Our gazes locked. Heat exploded within my body and I felt my hairs stand on ends as volts of electricity flowed within me.
My eyes strayed towards his lips and I couldn't help licking my own dry lips. This part was not planned but it definitely got his attention because his own eyes drifted towards my lips. I didn't know if I should make a move or not.
YES!!! My useless brain finally ventured an idea.
I thought about it for a moment longer when suddenly (of course!) the doors burst open. The spell had been broken and both, Lex and I, turned to face the intruder or intruders as Clark and Lana laughed their way in. I tell you, Antha, if I had some sort of heat vision, they would both be huge piles of ashes.
"Chloe? What are you doing here?" Clark, as was his tendency, asked innocently enough. I wanted to choke the living crap out of him.
"Ah – Lex was just signing some papers for me." I smiled though I'm pretty sure my smile was more of a grimace. I, reluctantly, moved away from Lex and didn't even look down to see if he was signing.
DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!
A funny thing I noticed though, as I moved my stare away from Clark and towards Lana, I noticed that she was not smiling. In fact, I noticed an angry glint in her dark eyes. I shook my head to clear my vision and when I looked back at Lana, she was her usual smiling self.
I...guess...I must have imagined it. Weird!
Anyway....Lex signed the papers and since I had no reason to stay anymore, I left with as much grace as was humanly possible. I muttered a cheery "Bye!" not looking back one bit.
Inside my car, I left go of my restraint and cursed everything within a 100 yard range. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!
Why, of all people, did it have to be those two? And why couldn't they have waited a few more minutes? Ugh! GEEZ...Why is trying to get this man into bed turning into such trial?
YOU WOULD THINK, GIVEN HIS REPUTATION, THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY!
Now I have to come up with another plan. I must get him alone and in a place that has a lock on the door.
Lex's blue eyes are swimming before me as I remember the electricity of the moment. Or was there electricity? Was this all my imagination? NO! It couldn't have been...
Shit! Now I won't be certain until I kiss him.
Have to plan...
Oooh! I could KILL right now...DAMMIT!
