Chapter 2: Sweet surprises.

They were swerving along the road at 60 mph. In anyone else's car, 60 mph would have made Chloe very uneasy. However for some reason, probably because he was use to the high speeds and could handle them, Chloe just got an adrenalin rush. She looked over at him. He looked so untouchable, unreachable, and worst of all (for most women that is) unlovable. "Lex, have you ever been in love?" Chloe asked.

"In love? No. Loved someone. Yes." He replied. Then he went silent. His thoughts went to his mother, the women who had taken care of him when his mom was sick named Pamela, and his baby brother Julian. But he was never in love with any of these people. He in turn looked over at Chloe. Sitting next to him was a cute, bubbly, high school girl. She reminded him of when he was in high school. He didn't like it at all, but for some reason he felt like he should help her.

He knew the road to the Luthor Manor so well that he could have driven them blindfolded. He thought about everything until they arrived. When they pulled up Chloe was confused. "I thought you said that we were going somewhere I would never forget Lex?" She questioned.

"We are. Its inside." He replied as he motioned for her to follow him.

He led her through the big mansion with no problem at all before coming to a stop in front of a door. "Now don't cry when you see this but…" He cut off and opened the door. She saw a room bigger than her own that was organized perfectly, just like her room at home. The only difference was that the bed was a king size instead of twin. She ran to lie down on it and noticed that it was also Temperpedic. It was nice. She got up and walked back over towards Lex. She decided to play with his mind.

"Thank you Lex." She said in her most seductive tone. She stroked his arm and made a mental note that the man had perfect biceps. She could see the desire in his eyes. He wanted her. The plan was working.

She walked away from him and sat on the bed. "Why am I doing this?" She thought to herself. She was lonely. Lex was lonely. Maybe if they could just hug or something she would feel better. Then she found herself asking, "Lex what about my other house?"

He smiled at her. "I bought it for you. It's not like I didn't have to money."

"Thank you Lex." She whispered. Suddenly she fet her eyes starting to well up with tears. She looked at him to tell him to go but she could tell he had figured it out. He began to walk over to her.

"I know it hurts Chloe, but you have to be strong." he told her.

"But Lex, I don't want to...be...strong." She said through tortures sobs. He casually placed his arms around her and drew her to him. It wasn't a very Luthor thing to do but she was only a high schooler after all. She needed some comforting. Lex held her the entire time that she cried until she fell asleep in his arms. He carefully laid her down among the pillows on the bed, walked out of the room and closed the door.

Once in the hallway he took a deep breath and sighed with relief. "That was awkward." He thought to himself. Just then his butler appeared with an announcement.

"Mr. Luthor, Clark Kent is here to see you sir."
