A/N: I found this fun little site, that tells you who you were in a past life. So I thought I'd make a fic about that using my favorite Smallville couple.

Title: I Was Born To Love You.
Summary: A look into a past life of Chloe Sullivan and Lex Luthor.
Ch 6.
Unlike Alexander, Nicholas loved his wife and married live proved to be delightful. In the first years of their marriage, they would often sit together at supper each evening and before they had finished their meal, they were both trembling with anticipation.
Helen was a dutiful wife and would often look to him for approval on the changes she made around the house or with the food she served. She had given him two children a boy and a girl and he could not have been happier.
As the setting sun caught the edge of the furrows in the open fields, creating a striking pattern of red and black across the land. The whole community was making their way towards Sir Gabrielle's hall.
For tonight there was to be a great feast.
Nicholas and his wife made their way over to Alexander and entered the great hall. The only reason they were going was so the knight could catch a glimpse of Gabrielle's daughter.
The Hall acuminated a hundred people with ease. Trestle tables were arranged in two lines down the sides of the hall.
Nicholas, Helen and Alexander took their seats at the table. Hoots of laughter came from the far table as Peter was giving a perfect imitation of Lana the nun from their earlier teasing.
Alexander looked to the door to see the servants arrive with plates of food Beef and Venison were complemented by huge plates of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits. Wine was served as well as the scented ale of the region. And there he saw Chloe performing the proper duties of as a daughter of hospitable and noble knight. She moved about the hall offering delicacies and mead to their guests and speaking a few kind words to each.
He saw her transformation for the evening. She was dressed in a long, red embroidered gown with billowing cuffs of silk. On her feet were slim, elegant shoes of red leather. Her magnificent golden brown hair was worn loose and spread in waves down her back and her athletic figure stood out proudly.
She looked breathtaking. "But it does not suit her"Alexander thought. "she belongs on a horse with a sword in her hand"
He looked around the room and saw that some of the other men were staring at her and making comments.
"For a night with her, I'd pay twice the dowry"
Alexander found himself getting angry and for the first time, did not understand why.
"Sir Alexander, would you like some fruit or perhaps some mead with your meal?"
He was so busy giving a mean look to the man across from him, who was to drunk to know, that he had not realized that Chloe was standing next to him.
She had a smile on her face and he almost lost himself in the emerald green of her eyes.
"Sir Alexander?" she said a little louder
"Sorry, of course, thank you" he said taking a grape of the plate she was offering him. With his thumb and index finger he brought the grape to his lips and let it linger there for a bit.
Chloe had not moved from her spot and he saw her chest move up and down and knew that her breathing had increased. He kept his eyes locked on hers. He finally let the grape drop into his mouth.
"Chloe!"
Chloe blinked at the sound of her father's voice and Alexander had to shake himself out his own stupor.
"Chloe! What are you doing? People need more mead" he bellowed his cheeks flush with drink.
"I am sorry Sir Alexander, but if you do not require any thing else. I must go" Chloe said smiling.
"I am fine, thank you" Alexander replied. He watched her walk off to serve some one else. He found himself impressed and a little upset that she could so quickly regain her composure. He was didn't know what was wrong with him and he had never felt this way before. But then again he never had to work to get a woman's attention before either. And he found himself liking the challenge. He smiled to himself and downed his drink and joined in the celebration.
After the company had eaten the entertainment came out. Songs were sung and riddles were read.
Alexander knew he was getting drunk, but he didn't realize how. Until he noticed that the women had gone, or more specifically Chloe was gone. He placed his hands on the table and was about to get up when he felt some one tug on his sleeve.
"Where are you going, my lord?" asked Nicholas.
"To find Chloe" he stated proudly.
"You have had too much to drink, and you are in no condition to go to her" Nicholas said getting up. "I would not wish for you to make a fool of yourself in front of her"
Alexander laughed "my friend, you are always so honest with me. But I shall find her" Alexander replied. But when he stood the room was spinning. Nicholas slipped his arm around him to hold him up.
"Maybe you are right, Nicholas" said Alexander.
Chloe watched from her window as Alexander stumbled away with Nicholas up to his castle. She smiled thinking back to what had happened earlier at the feast. She was imagining herself as that grape.
