Author’s Notes: This is my first story so please be easy but not too easy on your posts…tell me how it is I guess. You guys are great!

Dedicated to Fiona Pengiun for convincing me to write my first story...I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks a bunch!

It had been a long day after Lois left the office. She felt like her eyes were glued shut from looking over all the papers Mrs. Kent had wanted her to review. So when she finally opened her door to her apartment and collapse on her bed, the feeling that over took her was complete ecstasy.

Falling asleep had come the minute Lois’s head hit the pillows and she knew there was no other place she’d rather be than on that bed.

About in hour after falling asleep Lois started having a dream…first she had the dream she was never disappointed in having- the guy in the red cape. He came to her in dreams all the time and it never disappointed her to see him. Although she never told Clark the truth when it came up, her dreams with the guy in the red cape was not always that innocent. When she first started dreaming him she thought it was weird…than she just let it happen and started to look forward to them. Okay so yes, she did think it was odd when she was dating Oliver. I mean she was dating a man and dreaming of someone else…who does that?

Anyway, she was dreaming of him again tonight like any other night and it was wonderful. They were in the sky flying over Metropolis and she was kissing him hungrily while he kissed her back with greater passion. As she pulled her head back she gazed into his eyes, something she never was able to do because his face was never open to her, he was usually just a blur. She was a lot surprised when she gazed at the face and it was Clark staring back at her with so much desire…

What shocked her even more was the way she didn’t even hesitate to kiss him again. She slanted her mouth for better access and thrust her tongue deep inside his mouth and his tongue tangled with hers. She pulled him closer by putting her hands around his neck so he could continue his assault. As there lips meshed and their teeth grazed she realized that kissing was not enough, she wanted more and could feel he did too. She broke the kiss but in a way to tell him that it wasn’t over.

“Let’s go somewhere a little more grounded.” She looked at him with the smirk that had his heart pounding in his ears.

“I think the sky would be a little too public”

“Not to mention, not much traction,” she giggled

Clark wrapped his arms around her and she felt wind pass her ears and all of a sudden they were in an apartment that had pictures of Chloe, the Kent’s, some old man, Lois and Clark together and of some other people she didn’t recognize.

Than she turned and looked at him with a raised eye brow, “Come here”

Clark took one step and pulled Lois into his arms and kissed her hard on the lips. He slid his hands into the back pocket of her pants and pressured her hips to angled toward the bulge in his suit. “You know I love when you wear the suit but it’s hell to get off during times like these”

“Let me” He pulled away from her and spun into nothing but a pair of boxer shorts.

“Why do you tease me?”

“I love the look I get after you take them off, it’s like you’ve just won a Pulitzer.”

She smiled at him and kissed him again, this time with more passion than before. He rolled his hips letting her feel the bulging erection she had caused.

She moaned in pleasure, a pleasure he understood. He teased her as he slowed the kiss down and nibbled on her bottom lip sucking lightly as he brushed his hand underneath her breast. She tried to move into his palm but he kept away in torture control. She groaned in frustration and decided to tease him too. Her hands came from around his neck and slowly made its way down to his erection. First she lightly brushed him and watched as he jumped from the contact…than she began to move over him with a little more pull. His hips started to push into her more and she lightened her movements.

“Lois….” Clark warned

“Well now you know how it feels.” She chuckled

In a swift move Clark pulled her shirt up over her head and unclipped her black-laced bra and shoved her against the counter in the kitchen area. Her breath caught in her throat as his head lowered and captured her hard bud between his lips and sucked lightly. The pleasure ran through her body like a drug and she ran her fingers through his hair to show him just how much she enjoyed it.

His hands traveled down to where her legs connected and palmed her where he felt her heat. She moaned and he put more pressure.

After he felt like one breast got enough attention he switched to the other to satisfy it the same. He synchronized his mouth and hand at the same beat and she felt herself build to her climax but it wasn’t enough. She wanted skin-to-skin contact. She wanted to feel him come inside her as she screamed out his name in satisfaction, so she tried to tell him but it just came out in moans. He started moving his hand harder against her clit and she thought she would loose it. “Clark please!” She sobbed.

He knew exactly what she needed because he needed it to. To feel connected without clothes as barriers. He wouldn’t hold off any longer as he unzipped her pants and tore her panties off. She was so wet as he felt the outside of her mound. He slipped his fingers inside her and she whimpered.

He stuck his middle and index fingers inside of her as he rubbed his thumb against her clitoris in a secure beat. She moved her hips to meet his fingers in a thrust. She thought she was going to come right there but than he took his fingers out of her. She felt a sudden loss but not for long as Clark positioned himself between her legs.

She felt his member at the beginning of her entrance. She wound her arms around his back and he looked into her eyes.

“I love you Lois”

“I love you too, Clark”

They put the foreheads together and he thrust into her and she met him halfway. They simultaneously pushed and pulled together over and over again.

Lois wrapped her legs around Clark to push harder into him and he pushed into her at a higher angle hitting the spot he knew would make her come. He knew he had it right when Lois started moaning out his name and tightened her legs.

He lost it when Lois’s muscles tightened around him and as she came he went with her and they went over the edge together.

…Lois shot up from her bed with sweat soaking her face. She could feel her heart beating uncontrollably and she couldn’t mistake the feeling below her stomach. She could feel the heat radiating from the depths of her legs and the pulsing couldn’t be mistaken. She knew her body inside and out and the feeling going through her was incredible. It felt like she just had a very intense orgasm- With. Clark. Kent.

Her eyes were wide with shock and she was breathing heavily…“Oh, my God!!”

As Lois was walking down stairs from the Talon, all she could think about was her dream. It’s not like she was not suppose to think about it, I mean this was with Clark Kent, your normal all around farm boy. The one who stole part of her heart whenever he smiled at her and made her laugh, she loved when he- No! She wasn’t going to think of any of that right now. She was just going to pick up her coffee and turn around and-

“umph” Lois groaned as she collided with someone.

“Whoa, are you okay?” Lois looked up into the strangers eyes who had almost plowed her over except he was no stranger, in fact he was the farm boy himself staring right back into her own eyes.

“Clark!” Her eyes got wide and eye brows shot up. “What are you doing here!?”

“Hey Lois, I just coming by to see if my mom was here yet, she’s suppose to meet me here so we talk about something. What about you?” He looked at her with that Kent charm smile.

“Me! Oh…. Ummm, I was just walking down my stairs to get some coffee and about to go out the door but I bumped into you and I’m just about to go see Chloe so I can talk to her about something important that I can’t tell you. Well I could tell you but I’m NOT going to because some things should just stay quiet right? -I mean there are secrets made for a reason and who knows who you could tell if secrets were always told I mean you would end up trusting nobody and than things would just get messy and I just can’t tell you what it is that I’m going to tell Chloe. You won’t be mad will you because TRUST ME, you don’t want to know this becau-”

“-Lois”

“-It is really personal and you don’t-”

“-Lois”

“-Want to know about my personal life especially-”

“-LOIS!” He held her arm down that she had been flailing around for the past five minutes with coffee in the other and looked at her face with curious eyes… “What is wrong with you? You’ve been racing on for the past 5 minutes; rambling about God knows what and I swear I thought you would have taken a breather by now? Are you okay?” His eyes were like lasers trying to pin point any sign of emotion in her eyes as she stared back at him.

“ I umm…” Her heart pounded in her chest but not because of her skitzoo lecture she just had but because not only two hours ago she was dreaming of this farm boy and she never felt more safe in his arms and now all she could do was smell his body that was inches away from hers. He was holding her arms down close to her body and as he pulled them down to her side he pulled her closer. Now all she could do was look up in those beautiful eyes and think about the amazing orgasm he had given her…oh God she was a dead women….

“Lois?” Clark’s eyes bored into hers as he became more worried.

He shook her a little and she tensed in his arms.

“I have to go!!!!” She broke out if his arms and ran straight for the door. She did not even slow down as she jumped in her car and sped to Metropolis to see the one person who could help her sort all of this out…Chloe.

She smiled as she began typing up the reports on a lead she had gotten from her previous phone call. She couldn’t believe that her source had finally pulled through and she was going to have a story with a little juice in it. As she flipped through a couple of folders to find the police report she heard chattering get louder by the stairs. All of sudden she heard a loud “move!” She looked up and found her cousin marching towards her.

“Chloe!”

“Hey Lois, I didn’t know you were coming today? What’s up?”

“Okay…Ummm. This is kind of awkward for me to tell you this and I don’t want you to freak out because I’m kinda freaking out and I need someone who’s sane here to listen to what I’m about to say because it’s complicated…very complicated and I need you to tell me what it means, okay?”

“Okay Lois, ummm…why don’t you sit down?”

“No I’m fine really”

Chloe looked at her cousin and could see there was something definitely wrong with her. Lois was never someone to get uncomfortable and flippy about things. “Okay, I’ll try not to freak out and I’ll try to tell you what it means…but, Lois are you sure you don’t want to sit down?”

Lois had been walking back in forth flinging her arms around her waist and her head for the past minute and it was starting to make Chloe uneasy.

“Okay yeah, maybe I will…” Chloe got up and Lois sat in the chair.

“Alright…so what’s up? Or for a better word, what’s wrong?”

“Why would you think something was wrong?”

Chloe scrunched her eyebrows at Lois. “Well I know you better than anybody Lois, so spill”

Lois stared up at Chloe with wide eyes. “You’re going to hate me! Oh My God! You won’t even be able to look at me once I tell you this!” Lois went to jump out of the chair but Chloe reacted fast and pushed her back down.

“No, I’m not going to hate you. You’re my cousin, I love you and there is nothing you could do that would make me not want to look at you okay? So tell me…”

Lois looked at the blond and sighed. “Okay I’ll tell you.”

“Thank you, now go ahead.”

“I don’t really know how to start so I’ll just try the beginning.” Lois took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Okay, ummm…I went home last night to the Talon and went right to my bed to go to sleep because it was really late and I had been reviewing over some things for Mrs. Kent all day. So I fell asleep and I had this dream. I dreamt of the guy in the red cape, I’ve told you about him right?”

“Almost every time you dream of him Lois, yes why?”

“Well this time it was different.”

“What, no sex? That’s okay Lois, not every dream has to ha-”

“No there was sex! Amazing sex actually, better than I’ve ever dreamt about.”

“Okay than what’s the problem?” Chloe was getting confused.

“This time I got to see his face and in my dream I didn’t even hesitate to have sex with him. I mean it was like I knew who he was all along.”

“Okay, so tell me. I want to know who the mystery guy is.” Chloe smiled intrigued.

“That’s the thing Chloe. The mystery guy is the reason I’m flipping out over here.”

“Oh! Okay well let me guess…is it Oliver because it’s okay to dream of your ex-boyfriends, it’s not like you want him back or anything.”

“No, no it definitely was not Oliver. Not Oliver”

“Okay, ummm. Well who? I mean there’s not many guys I can think of…Was it the guy you told me you saw at the mall last week because that’s not really weird at all.”

“No Chloe. Think! Think real hard about a guy who I see almost everyday...”

“I don’t know…it wasn’t Jimmy was it?”

“NO! No of course not! Jimmy is your boyfriend, I would not dream of my cousin’ boyfriend.”

“Okay well than…” A light bulb went off in Chloe’ head. “IT’S CLARK!!!!”

Lois cringed and closed her eyes when she heard Chloe actually pronounce his name. Yep her cousin was going to kill her… kill. Her. Dead.

Chloe looked down upon Lois and saw her reaction. She smirked because she thought it was actually funny Lois was acting like this. I mean Lois of all people. She never let anyone get to her.

She always knew there was chemistry between the two of them...okay well maybe she didn't but after Jimmy pointed it out during Valentines she kind of started to see what he was seeing.

Now looking at Lois in her chair, she couldn’t help but think Lois was scared…scared of what was what Chloe intended to find out.

Chuckling Chloe looked down at Lois “What are you doing?”

Lois opened one eye and looked at Chloe. She was just standing there with her arms crossed looking at her with a curious gaze. So she opened her other eye and squinted them towards Chloe “What do you mean?”

“I mean what are you doing? Why were you all quenched up like that?”

Lois unsquinted her eyes and gave Chloe the kind of look that means ‘duh’. “Why aren’t you reacting?”

Chloe gave out an exaggerated sigh “What are you talking about? What kind of reaction are you looking for? I was going to react but than I looked down at you and you kind of stole my thunder…you reacted for me.” She snickered amusingly.

"Your suppose to be mad or throw something or hit me...I don't know, be normal!?!" Lois was getting a little annoyed now. Didn’t her cousin know what she just said?

“Lois…” Chloe murmured, “Why on earth would I want to hurt you or be mad at you?”

“Ummm, I don’t know Chloe. Maybe because I just told you I had a dream about Clark Kent…you know the guy you would always write to me about in your letters telling me how you thought you were in love and that you would never look at a guy the-

"Oh my word...that's what you so unsetteled about? Lois you should know that I’m over Clark. I haven’t been infatuated with Clark Kent, for more than a year now, you know that. Plus, why do you think I’m with Jimmy. He’s not just some guy, I love him, more than I ever did Clark and Clark and I are just friends now anyways. Good friends.”

“You can still be mad…”

Chloe let her shoulders slouch and bent down by Lois who was still sitting on the chair “Lois look at me, I’m not mad and I’m actually kind of thrilled that you might have feelings for Clark. I mean that’s-

Lois shot up from the chair and Chloe landed on her butt. Lois stood shaking her head. “Whoa! Hey! Hey! Hey! Wh-Who said I had feelings for Smallville? I never said that! I just told you that I dreamed of him…that does not mean I have feeling for that little boy. Na-uh”

Chloe stood up laughing a little at the situation. “Little boy? I hardly think Clark’s a little boy, Lois.”
Lois raised her brows “Fine ‘big’ boy but still. I don not have feelings for the guy.”

“Okay fine, you don’t have feelings for him. So, lets just get back to the reason you’re here. Let’s recap: you had a dream of the guy in the red cape. This time you could see his face and it was Clarks. You guys had unbelievable great sex. You woke up freaked out and came to see me so I could tell you what the dream meant. And you claim you don’t have feelings for the guy…okay now it’s your turn, go ahead tell me how the dream went start at the beginning.”

Lois stood shaking her head as Chloe listed of the things that she had told her so far. She was doing fine until Chloe made the comment about her not have feelings for Clark, than she just gave Chloe ‘the look’.

“Yes, that is precisely what I have told you so far” Lois took a deep breath and let it out slowly “So now I will just go through my dream and you can tell me what it means, okay?” Chloe nodded her head. “Alright, so this time in the dream we were flying above Metropolis and we were just kissing, real good kissing I might add. Than I pulled away from his face and instead of the big blur that it usually is, it was Clark, just staring at me." Lois looked down for a second to pause. "He had this look of love in his eyes though. I’ve never seen him look at me that way before…" Her head shot up "but remember this is just a dream, okay?”

Chloe pursed her lips together to stop herself from letting out a bit of laughter. The way Lois was describing this didn’t seem like a dream to her. She nodded her head to signal Lois to keep going.

“So after I looked at him we started kissing again and-

“Wait so you kissed him again even knowing it was Clark...?”

“Yes Chloe but you can’t really control your dreams, they just happen”

“Sometimes dreams are figments of our imagination showing us what we really desire.” Chloe pointed out.

Lois just looked at her. “Chloe! If I am going to continue than get the thought out of your head that I 'desire' Clark, okay?"

Chloe just looks at her.

"Now back to where I was, we were kissing and some words we exchanged. Words I'm not going to get into right now, and than I looked at him and asked if we could go somewhere...you know, where we could..." Lois tried to piece together what she wanted to say with her hands. "you know, ummm-it...that thing-"

"You mean sex Lois?" Chloe laughed

"YES! Thank you, all right so then he put his arms around me and we just like super sped to this apartment house that-"

"Wait he had super speed?" Chloe's eye brows came together in a look of curiosity.

"Yeah, I know isn't that weird? I was thinking maybe I was getting Green Arrow mixed into my dream because the way Clark had sped off in my dream is EXACTLY the way Green Arrow did after saving me from those thugs."

Chloe bit her lip in a deep though "That is weird, your right."

"Okay, so... we came into this apartment house and it must have been either Clark's or mine because there were pictures of you, Mr. and Mrs. Kent, and Clark and me. And we were still like kissing and stuff and I asked him to take off his cape, or well suit. He had like a whole suit thing going on just like Green Arrow except Clark suit...it ahh, well lets just say it looked really nice on his body, I mean I don't know how he stays fit the way that guys eats sometimes but I'll tell you what, if I were to-" Lois cut herself off with big eyes realizing what she was about to admit out loud. She looked at Chloe's face to see what she looked like and she just had this smirk on her face. "I didn't mean to-"

"Oh don't worry Lois. I might be taken but I know there is no women who I know of, that has ever not checked Clark out. I'm guilty of it myself."

"Yeah, yeah it's all good. I'd be stupid not to right?" Chloe just nodded

"Okay so like I said he changed into these boxers and-"

"Wait what do you mean changed into boxers?"

"He sort of spun and they were on him...I guess, why?"

"Just wondering"

"Okay so he got into his boxers and we started kissing again and than it got a little more intense. There was more touching and moaning and all that good stuff. After a little more of the moaning there were less clothes and we just kind of did it right there in the kitchen counter and let me tell you Clark had no trouble keeping up with me. Right before we acually did it though he said something to me."

"What'd he say?"

"HesaidhelovedmeandItoldhimIlovehimtoo!" Lois said in a rush

"Wait, what? I didn't get that?"

"HesaidhelovedmeandItoldhimIlovehimtoo!" she said again

"One more time Lois but a little slower!"

Lois rolled her eyes "I said, he said he loved ME, and I told him I loved HIM too! There you happy."

Chloe laughed and patted Lois' arm "There, there, it wasn't that hard was it?"

"No, I guess not. Okay but now that thats finally over, you can tell me what it means"

Chloe took a deep breath and thought for a few seconds. "Well Lois, first promise me you won't hit me or get mad at me or anything."

Lois rolled her eyes "I promise, now go."

"Okay, umm, it could mean that you have feelings for Clark that could you don't really bring forth. Maybe your hiding them in the back of closet, you know?"

"All right I understand but I really don't know...maybe, maybe somewhere, buried incredibly deep inside me, is some eensy weensy, mircoscopic although highly unlikely possibillity that I could feel some sort of unmotivated and completely unrealistic attraction to Clark."

Chloe raised her eyebrows "Okay well at least your being honest with yourself Lois."

"Yeah exacally, I'm being honest." Lois took a deep breath and looked at Chloe and huggeed her. "Thank you so much Chloe! I just had to get that off my chest and talk to someone about it. Your the best!" Lois picked up her purse and turned to leave.

"Lois!?"

Lois turned around and looked at Chloe "Yeah?"

These feelings for Clark...do you think that you would ever act on them or-"

Lois shook her head "No Chlo...it's just, Clark's my best friend as a guy even though I'd never admit it to him and he means a lot. I couldn't risk loosing our friendship you know what I mean?"

Chloe observed Lois as she said this and realized that Lois may have already become a little more than friends with Clark even though Lois hadn't even realized it yet. Clark spoke highly of Lois whenever she wasen't around and to just watch Lois say this confirmed it for Chloe that there was definetly something more than meets the eye. Only time would tell. And as Lois turned and walked away she could have sworn that she saw a look of sadness pass through her eyes.

"Yeah, I know what you mean..." Chloe whispered

Clark was feeling good today. He had finished all of his chores and for some reason he felt like today was going to be a good day.

Deciding he had nothing to do at the moment, he thought he would just go and visit his best friend-Chloe.

So much had changed in the past two years with his friendship with her. He was real happy she wasn’t in the dark anymore with his secret and it made their friendship even stronger now that they both knew they were better off ‘just friends’.

He would always love Chloe. She’s been with him through thick and thin and no matter how much they had gone through, it was a relief to know that they could always go to each other when the going got tough.

As he walked through the swinging doors and took the stairs down to the bottom floors he couldn’t deny the feeling he felt. He thought more and more about what his future held for him, and whenever he walked through the doors to the Daily Planet it always brought him back to when he wanted to become a journalist. Maybe someday he would go back to college and get a degree.

Those thoughts shot out of his mind as he reached his destination and looked over to find his perky blond haired friend typing away at her computer.

“Hey Chloe”

Chloe looked up startled at the voice and found Clark looking down at her “Jeez Clark, I didn’t know sneaking up on people was one of you super powers, you just scared the crap out of me.”

Clark laughed “Sorry Chloe, I was just wondering if you were free for lunch or something. I haven’t seen you in like a week and I thought I'd come over here and visit”

Chloe smiled “Sure Clark…” She began to type furiously “…Just let me finish this last bit and I’ll be all set”

“Sure, all right” As Clark stood by Chloe’ desk he couldn’t help but observe her while she typed.

Chloe had always had a knack for journalism, and whenever he saw her work on a story he would always witness the gleam in her eye she got. She was a someone you never wanted to get in the way of…it reminded him of Lois too. Sometimes you could never tell they were related but then you found those qualities they both had that were so much alike it stunned him.

He also noticed how Lois had the gleam in her eye when she was hard at work. She was definitely not a force to be reckoned with. He had a feeling Lois had a future in journalism too. Chloe must have rubbed off on her as well because it came pretty easy for Lois. She was smarter than she looked and he had a feeling that Lois was going to go somewhere in life. How could she not? She was more stubborn than him sometimes and that was saying something.

She was definitely a special one that Lois. He knew that if Lois ever got married, whoever that person turned out to be, would have to be someone strong...Lois was like a pit bull on a pant leg and you had to be tough to handle her. He thought he did pretty well in that arena. They were always flirt-arguing but he thought he usually got the good side of her from time to time. A part not many people ever saw.

"CLARK!!"

"Huh...What?" Chloe was waving her hands in front of Clark's face.

"Well, let's see...I've been waving my hands in front of your face for the past five minutes, that’s what." She looked back at his face "You weren't just in Lana land just now were you?"

Clark furrowed his eyebrows thoughtfully “No, actually I haven’t thought of Lana all day.”

Chloe looked impressed

Clark laughed “What? Why are you making that look?”

“Well, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a time when you weren’t thinking about Lana from you. It’s just weird, I didn’t think it was possible.” Chloe explained

Clark pursed his lips “Well, actually Chloe, I think I’ve come to the realization that maybe I don’t love Lana anymore.” The weird thing was, when Clark said it, he didn’t feel the slight pang he usually felt when he thought he was falling out of love with her. “I don’t know how to explain it really…I guess Lana being with Lex made me feel like I had to save her or something. Maybe I thought the only way I could do that was make myself believe I still loved her.” Clark paused for a moment “It’s kind of weird, this is the first time I’ve actually said it out loud before, it feels kind of good to get it all out.”

Chloe lifted her eyebrows “Well yeah Clark, you can’t keep things like that bottled up. You have to let it out at some point, I’m just glad you felt comfortable enough to say it to me.”

Clark smiled “Me too”

Chloe took a deep breath let it out slowly “Well, now that we’ve got that out of the way, my stomach has something else in mind” As if just on cue her stomach rumbled.

Clark chuckled “I guess so, let’s get out of here.”

Chloe picked up her coat and put it on as she grabbed her purse. She walked towards the stairs and Clark followed her out as they made there way to the nearest restaurant.

The bell jingled above Chloe’s head as she stepped through the door. She traveled to the side of the restaurant with the booth by the window and sat down as Clark followed.

“So, Clark…not that I’m not grateful for you coming all the way to Metropolis to visit little old me, but is there a reason to this surprise lunch?”

Clark thought about it for a moment than…“No not really. I swear I just came to have a normal conversation with you. Why? Am I giving off some sort of vibe that’s screaming ‘I have to tell you something?’” Clark laughed

Chloe smiled “No, it’s just I haven’t seen you in a while so I didn’t know whether there was something important you had to tell me or something.”

Clark nodded his head “Yeah, I know. Sorry Chloe it’s just I’ve been busy with the farm and than trying to find out about any more of those zoners. It’s just kept my time occupied.”

Chloe grabbed onto his arm “Oh no Clark, you don’t have to apologize. I’ve been kind of busy myself. I’ve been on a hunt for a good story for the planet. I guess I didn’t notice how hard it was going to be but it has definitely been keeping me busy.”

“Well that’s good Chloe, at least your doing something you love to do.”

At that moment the waitress came up with the menus and handed one to both Clark and Chloe. She was a slim brunette and was eyeing Clark vivaciously. Chloe being a woman caught on immediately and smiled down at her menu. Clark was oblivious to any of the looks the waitress seemed to be giving him.

“Can I start you guys out with a drink?”

“I’ll have a sprite” She seemed to ignore Chloe and kept on staring at Clark.

Clark looked at his menu and back at the waitress and smiled “I’ll have a Pepsi, please.”

The waitress gave a flirtatious laugh and sighed “I’ll get it here as soon as I can” She started to walk away but dropped a straw in front of Clark “oops” She bent down to pick it up and paused for a second and then stood up put her hand through her hair, than walked away giving a little extra jolt to her assets.

Clark of course was still unaware to everything. He just continued to look around at the restaurant and the pictures that were hanging on the wall. Chloe just looked at him and shook her head and laughed.

That brought Clarks attention back to Chloe. He smiled “What’s so funny?”

Chloe paused for a complete second thinking of exactly how to word what she was about to tell Clark. “You have got to be either the biggest gentlemen on the face of the earth or you’re gay.”

Clark just continued to stare at her urging her to explain her statement.

“Clark! Did you not just noticed that our waitress was about to jump you a second ago?” Clark continued to stare. “Come on! She was practically drooling out of her mouth and you didn’t even notice!” Chloe laughed

Clark shook his head “Na uh. She was just being polite, trying to get a good tip.”

Chloe chuckled “Clark…she almost fell down trying to bend far enough over to give you a clear shot down her shirt!”

Totally not believing it Clark said “Chloe, I think I would notice if someone was flirting with me”

“Flirting with you? Clark, you almost made it to second base without even knowing it…” she laughed

Clark rolled his eyes “Chloe I’m sure I would have noticed”

Just at that moment the waitress came up carrying the two drinks. Clark just smiled.

“Here’s you Sprite and here is you Pepsi, sir” She glued her eyes on Clark and stared him down like he was a piece of candy. “So, are you ready to order or should I give you some more time to, think about it?” Clark didn’t know for sure, but the way she said ‘think about it’ made him think she was thinking a whole different kind of thing.

Chloe butted into Clark’ thoughts “I will have the bacon double cheese burger with fries”

The brunette raised her eyebrow at Clark. “And you honey, what would you like to order?”

Clark gulped “Ummm…I think I’ll get the same thing” He adverted his eyes away from her and stared down at his lap as a red tint colored his cheeks.

She gave a throaty laugh “Okay, two double cheese burgers coming right up” She touched Clark on the shoulder before turning back around and leaving. He looked over at Chloe when he noticed the waitress was long gone. She had a smirk on her face. “I’m not gay.” he stated.

Chloe just burst out laughing. “Of course you’re not Clark, I know that. I was just kidding but I find it funny to see you all embarrassed in front of someone whose hit-”

“I’m not embarrassed!”

“Clark your cheeks were the color of Po from the Teletubbies when you were finally aware of what she was doing!”

“Okay, okay. It’s not that funny.”

Chloe smiled “Yeah it kind of is”

Clark just smiled back at her “whatever”

Trying to clear the air Chloe said “So…what have you done today besides visit me?”

Glad to get off the topic Clark stated “Umm, not much really, it’s been one of those slow days. I got up, did my chores, visited my mom at the Talon and came here…well actually I ran into Lois but she seemed kind of out of it. Do you know what’s going on with her?”

At the mention of Lois’ name, Chloe’s head shot up to Clark’s and her eye’s went wide. “What about Lois!”

Clark looked surprised at Chloe’s outburst “Ummm nothing much. She just seemed different and jumpy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Lois jumpy before.”

“I don’t know anything.”

“Chloe, I never said you did.”

“Oh okay”

Clark was intrigued. He knew something was off with Lois this morning. She practically ran as fast as he with his powers out of the Talon. Than the mention of Lois’s name to Chloe had her going skitzo on him. He knew whatever was going on with Lois, Chloe obviously knew, and for some unknown reason Clark really wanted to know what was going on. Now if he played his cards right he just might be able to get Chloe to spill the beans.

“So, just out of plain curiosity, do you have any idea as to why Lois was acting weird this morning? I mean you’re my best friend and all and I tell you everything so…?”

What was Chloe suppose to say to that? Clark was giving her that puppy dog face and damn it if she was giving in just a little bit. It was hard to say no to him sometimes.

“Ohhh Clark. I don’t know, I just... She came by today and told me something. It could be the reason why.” Chloe thought about it “Well, actually the way you explained Lois’ behavior I’m pretty sure it’s why she was acting weird.”

“Okay, you can tell me Chloe.”

Chloe bit her lip “Well, actually under the circumstances I really can’t”

Clark frowned “What do you mean ‘under the circumstances?’ It doesn’t have anything to do with me, does it?”

“Okay Clark. Why are you asking me this? You’re putting me between a rock and a hard place here. I mean I would tell you anything, and I know you know that but Lois is my cousin…I mean she’s my cousin and I can’t just tell you this sort of thing.”

Clark knew it definitely had to be something big because Chloe would have told him otherwise. Knowing that it made him want to know what it was even more but than looking at Chloe’s face he felt kind of guilty trying to get her to tell him. He still wanted to know something though.

“Alright I understand. I’ll let it go, but do you think you could just tell me one thing?”

Chloe nodded her head “Okay, yeah sure, go ahead”

“Is whatever Lois being weird about, have anything to do with me?”

Chloe didn’t say anything; instead she picked up her napkin and threw it at Clark.

“Alright, I guess that’s a yes”

“Clark!”

“Okay, okay…I’ll drop it.”

“Thank you”

“Okay so let’s talk about something else. How are you and Jimmy doing?

At the mention of her boyfriend Chloe lightened up immensely.

“We’re doing great! I’m so glad to finally have someone who I care about as much as they care about me and to have that feeling together. You know what I mean? It’s just really nice to be with someone that I can always have there when I need them, and he makes me laugh and things are never boring. I just like spending time with him.”

Clark was genuinely happy for her. He knew he never treated Chloe right when she liked him and he was really happy to see her finally find someone that was special to her. “That’s great Chloe. I’m happy you guys are doing great. We should all hang out soon. Maybe this weekend you, me, Jimmy and Lois could have a movie night and get all kinds of junk food.”

“Of course you’d say junk food; I still find it unfair that you can’t even gain a pound from eating sweets.”

Clark laughed “I know, what can I say? But seriously, we should have a movie night. How about tomorrow? It Friday, that’s suitable for a movie night, what do you say? Do you and Jimmy already have plans?”

Chloe shook her head “No, I don’t think we’re doing anything, I think that would be great, that way we can all spend some quality time together and you could get to know Jimmy better.”

“Alright, than it’s settled: Tomorrow night is going to be our movie night. Hey, do you think you could call Lois today and see if she is able to go?”

“Yes Clark, I can do that, she is my cousin and all” Chloe laughed and Clark just shook his head.

“Here’s two double bacon cheese burger and fries” Clark jumped in his booth not hearing the waitress come up to there table. He cleared his throat and mumbled a “thank you” before diving into his fries.

“No problem, and if there is anything you need sir, anything, don’t hesitate to call me over, alright?”

“Uh huh...I will” The brunette smirked at Clark before walking away.

Clark looked up at Chloe after the waitress was gone and the coast was clear.

Chloe put her hands up in surrender “I’m not going to say anything”
