“You have to have it all don’t you?” She said in a small voice.
Lex slammed his drink down onto the table with a resounding thud. He turned, slowly, his manic eyes settling on her still frame. “What the hell does that mean?”
He heard her sigh, but he didn’t see her move. She seemed to be falling away from him, and he didn’t understand why.
“It means that you can never have enough.”
Lex laughed bitterly, “That’s because there never is enough. Can’t you see, the money, the power, the glory… it doesn’t last forever. If I want it to, I’ll have to get more.”
“Exactly.” She whispered. He stared hard her as she lay on the floor, her back turned away from him. “All you do is get more and more and more. You’re loosing what you have.”
“Oh come on Chloe, you know that’s not true.”
“But it is,” Her voice edged on a whisper. “You’re always looking Lex. Why can’t you just see what’s right in front of you?”
Lex shook his head at her, and turned back to his drink. “Chloe, you are one of the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever seen…” He waited for her to answer, but when she didn’t, he continued. “You judge me for what I do, you snipe and hiss and scream, but when it comes down to it, you sleep in the same bed as me. You eat my food, you drive my cars, you even breathe my air. So what makes you better than me?”
He smiled defiantly, and gulped down his drink quickly. Pouring himself another glass, Lex looked over his shoulder to find her in that same position: her arms splayed outwards, whilst the rest of her limbs she curled into herself.
Glass after glass, Lex was becoming more and more intoxicated, and yet he still had the ability to understand what he was saying. He sighed to himself, as his heart raced inside. Fear was settling in his stomach, his rational sober side knew what was going to happen, but he brushed it off and drank the rest of his whisky.
After some time, she spoke. It seemed that in those minutes, she was bringing up the courage to say something, to tell him the truth. “I don’t hurt anyone…”
“What?” Lex turned and walked over to her, not hearing what she was saying. “What did you say?”
“I don’t hurt anyone.” She said loudly and clearly, the words almost cutting into him.
“And that’s what makes you better than me?” He laughed malevolently and sighed. “Oh Chloe, you don’t understand do you?” He walked over to face her, and squatted down in front of her. “It’s not my fault. People get jealous. They have to be shown the truth, even if they don’t want to see it.”
He brushed a lock of hair away from her face, and looked at her with pity. “You know, I think you need to relax. You’re tense. Always so tense.” He whispered as he stroked her head.
She pulled his hands away violently. “Don’t touch me.” She whispered harshly.
Lex’s face contorted into a dark shape of anger. He could feel her struggling to keep calm, her fury slowly mounting.
He would have to show her the truth.
‘After all, that’s what you get with power.’ He told himself and dropped his glass to the floor.
