Chlexville

Season 1

Episode 1 : YOU BE THE PILOT TONIGHT

Chloe ran through the winding corridors of the manor sobbing. She had her cellphone on hand. When she turned the corner, she saw one of the maids looking terrified. "Where is he?" she demanded.

"He's in his room, Ms Sullivan," the maid answered promptly.

"I can't believe he came here without telling you and I find out after he almost gets killed!" she complained to the maid who could really do nothing about it. Chloe waved her off and turned to the corridor leading to his bedroom.

Without knocking, Chloe burst through the door. She saw him lying in bed, covered from the waist down by a black silk blanket. At that moment, Chloe did not even take into consideration what he could be wearing underneath, since it was obvious from the pale gleaming skin that he wore nothing to cover his upper body. "Lex!" she said sharply. He was apparently too exhausted to hear or respond.

Chloe sat on the edge of the bed. "Lex!" she said again. Concerned, she placed a hand on his shoulder and he rolled over onto his back. "Oh no," she murmured, seeing the large bruise on his chest the shape of the steering wheel. Nobody had told her he had a bruise. Of course they probably thought that she already knew by the fact that he drove his car off the bridge! "You drove your car off the bridge!" she gasped, almost like she was only now realizing it. She slapped him on the chest. Having his injury hit made him wince and sit up on bed. "Oh I'm not sorry, you jerk!" she told him. "You didn't even tell me you were in Smallville. Are you okay?" she finished in a softer tone.

Lex Luthor looked down at the blonde girl sitting on his bed. A little young, but when you were given a welcome gift, you didn't really get to specify how old you want the girl to be. Wait, wait. Is this is welcome to Smallville gift? Then why was she hitting him and calling him a jerk? Lex couldn't really think. He downed a three glasses of scotch before he went to bed to dull the pain. Ahhhh… It must be some kinky roleplay.

Because she was pissed and concerned at the same time, Chloe wanted to scream. Instead, she got even more irritated when Lex smirked in his usual way—as though he didn't almost die and she had to hear it from Pete Ross, who narrated it like it was a fairy tale come true. "Are you okay?" she gritted out.

She was already getting impatient? He hadn't even gathered his bearings. A guy took time to be… in the mood. Okay no that's not exactly true. Seeing her blonde hair framing tear-stained face was enough to get him going. He edged closer to her, and she smiled at him. Lex cupped the smooth cheek with his palm. "I'm fine, now that you're here."

"Did you think I wouldn't come? I would have picked you up where you wanted me to," she berated me gently. "Years don't just fade away just because we lost contact for a year."

The roleplay was commitment, Lex concluded. Well it wasn't too impossible. Commitment he could do as long as it's only roleplaying. Still, that years comment made it a bit far fetched. The girl in front of him was a teenager. And he was twenty one. He doubted they could have been in a relationship as kids. Still, would you expect a girl in her profession to know a lot about math? He searched for words that a woman would like to hear. "I missed you."

"I missed you too!" she exclaimed. "I'm so glad you're here." Chloe threw her arms around him and hugged him tight.

Lex closed his eyes as a cloud of baby powder and strawberry shampoo scent overwhelmed him. His arms closed around the girl and he almost moaned at the pleasant contact. When she started to pull away, he cupped her face with his hands and leaned closer and closer. Her lip gloss gleamed in the firelight, inviting him to taste. He bet that it was vanilla. He liked vanilla. If he was right, he's spend the night licking every last trace from her lips.

He found himself sprawled on the bed, breathless and his chest throbbing like he's been pushed. The welcome to Smallville girl was standing over him snarling like a dragon. Lex backed up a little. Was this still part of the roleplay? She would probably be the aggressor. He wasn't sure he liked that. "Are you going to be the pilot?" he inquired calmly.

Her golden eyebrows drew together in confusion. "What?"

"Are you going to be the pilot tonight? Take the lead?" When she still did not appear to get it, Lex nodded in understanding. A welcome to Smallville chick did not need to be sharp. All she had to have she already got, if those heaving breasts were any indication. "Be on top?"

She appeared to be utterly disgusted by his comment. "Lex Luthor, what the hell do you think I've become? And… eewwwww! This leafy little hamlet is by far too tame to drive me to prostitution!" she screeched.

Leafy little hamlet? He had only heard this place called that from little Chloe Sullivan, the day his dad assigned Gabe to manage the Smallville plant. "You don't by any chance know a Chloe, do you?" Man, he was still drunk. She was weaving in his vision. Or maybe she was just that disgusted he already made her nauseous. The girl now folded her arms over her chest. Damn. She did those babies. But they would not be hidden, Lex thought happily. If anything, the action only made them press together more and made the cleavage show more.

"And what does this girl look like?" Chloe asked. Was Lex drunk? Oh my gosh, Lex was soooo drunk!

"About four feet tall with blonde flyaway hair. She's pretty light-skinned." He seemed to be deep in thought. "She talks a lot. And she snoops. She enjoys snooping."

"I may know her," she murmured, leaning closer to Lex. "In fact, I'd say I've known her for a long time. Even when she was in Metropolis."

"No kidding!" Lex grinned. "Small world. It's a wonder you didn't know me. I'm from Metropolis too. But I guess that shows."

That made Chloe chuckle. She bent closer to Lex, and he saw his eyes fall to her blouse. Chloe rolled her eyes. Some things didn't change. But oh it did. The sober Lex Luthor would freak out if he knew he was checking little Chloe out. "I did," she whispered. Her lips were almost a hairsbreadth away from his. She could feel her lips tingle with the warmth from his breath. "And I'm not four feet tall anymore, Lex," she breathed against his mouth.

Well who said cold water was the best way to sober up a guy? The way Lex's eyes shot open and he scurried away from her until his back was pressed against the headboard of his bed, one would think she had caffeine in her breath. Maybe she did, Chloe considered, she'd been in the Beanery when she heard about his accident.

"Evil!" Lex gasped in disbelief. "You've turned evil in this quaint little town."

"Don't be melodramatic, Lex," she said, injecting just the right amount of ennui in her voice to make her sophisticated. "It ill suits you." Snark queen, that's what she was!

Lex narrowed his eyes at her. If she thought she had defeated the master, she was sorely mistaken. Lex stood up from the bed, allowing the silk blanket to fall inch by inch from her body. He noticed the way Chloe kept her gaze steadily on his face so she would not look down. That was quite a loss for her. His silk boxers were attractive. He moved towards her. He had to hand it to little Chloe who was not so little anymore, she had some guts. She never backed away. Not even one centimeter.

"So Chloe, this is what you look like now." Her eyes never left her face, making her eyes crinkle even more. He leaned close so that his lips would be on level with her ear. "How about being the pilot tonight again?"

"You want me to drive?" she arched her eyebrow at him.

"Yes, Chloe, I wanna see you drive."

She bit her lower lip and looked down at the bedside table. "Okay." Lex stiffened. That was where he placed his box of condoms for easy access. What had happened to his sweet, innocent, albeit sarcastic little Chloe? Was she actually going to take him up on his offer? Chloe reached for the keys beside the box. "Nice supply," she threw over her shoulder as she walked to the door, jangling his car keys. "I hope this isn't for the Ferrari!"

"Wait!" he called out. "Let me throw on some clothes."

"If you're not there in ten, I'm leaving without you!"

Damn, Lex thought. Judo had never been this exhilarating.
