Help Me….. Once More…..

It had been years since he had seen her. The last time was after she had told him she had to go back home. He had argued that she didn't have to. That they weren't really needed in her life. This started a fight that would lead to destruction. She stormed out never to he heard of again, or so he thought.

Here in the rain she stood at his door with a desperate look. Hair was swept across her face create a crown of sorts. Dark hazel eyes starred into his face. All he had wanted to do was hug her close. Finally he got the courage to ask her the one question that is at the front of his mind.

"What are you doing here?"

Years before on a business trip Lex had been in a party when he spotted her. She was a waitress that stood out from the rest. Sad eyes that reflected her pain and sadness. Golden blonde hair was piled up with a black hair clip. She walked with a cautious that he had only see his Father have. It was a sight to behold, this little girl with all this power. Those in her path took a step back without even knowing it.

This night was horrible, her feet were killing her, the smile was permanently on her face. Suddenly she felt a eyes following her around the room. Buffy turned and saw a man that sent shivers down her back. His bald head made him look dangerous, while his eyes told of a playboy. Word was going around that he slept with anything that had a skirt. His Father was a man of power, nothing could touch him. Lex Luthor was a man who could have anyone, why would he want her?

As the night came to an end Lex got enough courage to talk to her. Slowly he walked over to her with a charmed smile. Hoping that at the end of the night he would be either in bed with her or at least her number. Buffy heard his silent approach and turned slightly. Watching his graceful movements she waited for his come on line. As she predicted the moment he got a few inches away he said one.

"What is a pretty face like yours doing in a place like this?"

Buffy turned and looked at him with a look of strangeness. Thinking how dumb can he get, she just starred.

"How about I take you out for some fun," Lex said with a cocky smile.
