CHURCH ○ LEX LUTHOR

wealth

updating cos i feel like it ALSO 100 reads??????? Im crying :')

If there was something she could place an opinion on, it was Lex Luthor's wealth. The estate, which took 20 minutes to drive to, took another ten minutes between the manor's gate and the building itself. Felicity never took into thought how rich Lex Luthor actually was. But upon gazing up at the manor, in all its marble and glass, she was genuinely in awe.

he knew that he had her captivated. The look on her face as she tried to process the size of his home was intoxicating to him. Her eyes wide, mouth slightly open, and head tilting upwards, revealing a tan neck that he immediately wanted to put his mark upon. He smiled, thinking that he'd always want to see this expression everyday. Or her in any way, in reality. Sentiment had begun to seep in, but he was having so much fun, and it couldn't hurt as much as he presumes, right?

"And you're just one person, living here?" She says and snaps him out of his daydream. Nodding, he smiles once more before exiting the car, rushing over to her side and opening the car door for her, initiating a reaction of flushed cheeks and nervous eyes. And it just sets him ablaze. He loves it when she's all nervous and putty in his hands. He knows he loves control, and thats what she gives him. They walk over to the front of the house, where he opens the large mahogany doors and welcomes her in.

"Well, what do you want for dinner?"

-

They end up having microwave-cooked macaroni and cheese, along with a bottle of wine that she suspects is worth her whole college tuition. They talk about everything and everything in between, from childhood pets to annoying people in the office. Well, mostly it's just him talking, sentence after sentence so intellectually thought of she just bothers to nod and laugh as a reaction. The night slowly goes by, and by the time its 10pm, they've finished the whole bottle and Felicity is sure she can see the angels in the Impressionist paintings in Lex's room come to life.

"Why do you still stay? Aren't you a little bit creeped out by me?" He suddenly asks her. She registers the statement for a second.

"Wait, you're asking me?"

"No, I'm asking Dante. But seriously, why?"

She approaches him, a heavy look on her eye. He notices they're not as light green as they were, turning into darker shades of the color.

"Well, I'll have you know," she pokes his nose first, "that I find you in every way, mesmerizing," she traces his angular cheekbones, "and that I'm here..for the money." She laughs out loud, snickering to herself. He joins her, happy that she is letting her guard down and relieved that she had filled the space inbetween them.

They talk for a little while before he begins to see her falling asleep. Her eyes droop, and to her, the silk sheets were more inviting than ever. Lex notices this, and he just lets her. Moment by moment, she leans into the bed and begins to fall asleep. Barely 10 minutes have passed by and he predicts she won't wake up soon.

"Goodnight, Felicity, my darling." He goes closer and kisses her forehead delicately, her skin smelling faintly of vanilla. He looks at her, so angelic and youthful in her sleep. He leaves to sleep in one of the other countless bedrooms he has, acknowledging the sense of boundaries pegging on his mind. Well, if it wasn't for those, he's sure he would have already kissed her, and much more.

Lex shot up and his mind had started to work again. But the first thing in his mind, as much as he hated to admit it, was if Felicity was still in the bedroom, still sleeping, still with him. He immediately rushed over, careful to be quiet so if there was the miniscule possibility that she was still there, he would not wake her. Opening the door, he breathed a sigh of relief to still see her there, sleeping. Approaching her, he smiled, amused at her sleeping form. Hugging a pillow very tightly, with hair all over the place and breathing rapid, he presumed that she liked to cuddle, and in that moment, he only wanted her to cuddle with him. Lex left to continue his morning schedule of a run. The gardens he had also inherited from his father were inspired by those in the Versailles, which gave him enough running space for a lifetime. After an hour of jogging and thinking about one person in particular, he returned and changed. Sitting in the great hall, he had just begun his acai bowl comprised of kiwi, muesli, strawberries, and yogurt. He heard footsteps approaching the room and he turned around to see a very hungover and gorgeous Felicity.

"Morning! Breakfast?"

"Yes, please." She said as she sat down on the chair across his and leaned back in the plush upholstery. He laughed, humoured by her tiredness due to her small intake of 4 glasses of wine. He had certainly a higher tolerance of alcohol than her, but he wouldn't mention it.

"And what makes you think laughing is suitable when the person over here feels like death?"

"O-oh, nothing." He smiled as he drank his water, noticing she was watching him with a look in her eye. Breakfast soon arrived, delivered by a robot (which completely suprised her) and they ate in silence.

"So, what did we do last night?"

"What do you think?"

"Ohmygod, don't tell me-

"No, of course not. Why would you think that??" He asked with curiosity.

"I..dreamed about it ohmyg-" Raising an eyebrow, he beckoned her to continue but she only stayed silent as her cheeks began to flush.

"Okay, well, we have to get you home now. As it is Sunday, I don't expect you to do anything all day, but I do hope you have the sympathy to revise Olsen's book about the atoms. Otherwise, feel free to sleep and dream about me all you like." He said cockily, which resulted in a glare from her and his smirk growing wider. Rolling her eyes, she stuck her tongue out, a childish act.

"Come on, get up. We need to get you home before your roommate freaks out over your wellbeing." They finish up breakfast and walk to the garage, where all his luxury cars are on display. Today, they ride in a black Lamborghini, which she considers is way faster than the one last night, and every car she's ridden in. Soon enough, they arrive at her apartment and the get out of the car.

"Well, my gratitude towards you will never be gone, Lex."

"Please, as a friend and concerned person of society, it is my priority to do everything in my power to help the sleepy intern." He smiled at her, earning a bigger smile back. She felt so charmed and warm inside, and these were just by his words. What more of physical contact? She wondered, and begged to know the answer. So she looked at him more for a few moments, his eyes clear and bright, hands behind his back, and pecked his cheek quickly. But not quickly enough not to notice the designer perfume he had been wearing, or the sharpness of his actual cheekbone. And now it was his turn to blush.

"Well, I do have to get going, now. After all, running a billion dollar company does not take up only a few hours of the day." He winks at her, before going back to the car and revving off, the engine's roar still heard even if he was already so far away. But to her, he was no longer so far away, but rather a place in her heart, or her mind. She stayed like this before snapping out of her thoughts, only to realize her roommate, Lois Lane, was calling from the 6th floor.

"HELLO? FELICITY BANACH, DO YOU EVEN HEAR ME?" Lois shouted. Not bothering to turn around, she sighs, unhappy she isn't in the presence of someone she just met recently yet already was so significant to her.

"YES, I CAN, LOIS. NO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M SURE THAT YOU COULD STOP TRYING TO BE A BIRD AND STOP TWEETING AS LOUD AS THE HEAVENS CAN HEAR." She shouts back, before entering the apartment block.
