A/N: This is a little tidbit out of Lex's mind going way back into third season. I just wanted to show how Chloe changed him, but I have a lot more Lex. Would you want to read more Lex? Keep the reviews coming, they make me write a whole lot faster. The first line of course is from Forsaken and is actually the scene that mede me go:'Hmm, Chloe and Lex. Now that could be fun.'
"Besides, I know you won't let anything happen to me."
I try to smile at that-I all ways try to smile for her.
I wish she wouldn't have said that. My mind reels at the possibilities of what could happen to her.
I send a prayer up to anyone that will listen to protect her. Even I can only do so much.
I know I shouldn't feel the way I do about her. She's seventeen years old, I'm twenty four. Her father used to work for me.
But when she looks at me I can't help the way my stomach tightens-along with other parts of me.
I didn't all ways feel this way. She was only a little girl when I met her. Now though, she's a beautiful woman.
She's not my type. I've told myself that a thousand times. She's nothing like any of the women I've dated or even just slept with. Maybe it's a good thing. The only relationship I've had was with Helen and that wasn't something to be proud of. There was that on going thing with Victoria, too. Nothing ever worked. I don't know if I wanted it to work-no, that's not true. I wanted to be with Helen. I loved her. But that's in the past. I want to look to the future now. And I want that future to include a certain feisty investigative reporter.
I only hope I can restrain myself until she turns eighteen.
