This is my first time attempting to write, and as usual the first time doing anything is nerve wracking. I have the idea for a fic, I have a few paragraphs already written. But I wanted to present my idea to anyone that's willing to read and see if I should go ahead and continue to write. So here goes nothin... Summary: Clark's back to an unwanted surprise after three years of training and traveling the world. Lois is stuck with feelings that she's afraid to acknowledge. Richard is stupid in love. Michelle is crazy in lust, and Chloe and others are stuck in the middle, or if your Bruce Wayne, your on the sideline enjoying the show. Rating: PG-13 Disclaimer: Don't own Smallville or any of the Smallville characters. However I do own my friend Michelle who is crazy in lust with Clark/Tom
Chapter 1- Welcome to the Daily Planet
From the perspective of any outsider looking into the bullpen, they could easily see that the Daily Planet bullpen was busy as usually. From the sounds of angry fingers furiously typing, to reporters yelling for the copy boy, to people moving in and about the bullpen, and even the collision that a few bystanders could see was inevitable….
"Ugh"
"I'm sorry, are you alright?"
"Yeah, although I do feel as if I've been hit by a moving semi" said Michelle with an amused tone.
The fact that she was almost bowled over by the most handsome reporter at the Planet not fazing her in the least, and most notably not by the fact that he was holding her in his surprisingly large and soft hands, while peering down at her with the most gorgeous aqua-green eyes that she's ever seen.
She inwardly sighed 'hmmm, Clark Kent is definitely swoon worthy.'
"I'm sorry, here let me help" replied Clark as he finally let Michelle go in an attempt to help her pick up her fallen papers. He knew he should have been watching where he was going but the image of an engagement ring was stuck in his mind's eye, and the decision to leave his desk was abrupt but he was pretty sure Lois wasn't paying any attention to him. After three years of training and traveling the world, he thought that maybe when he came back he and Lois would have a chance at a relationship, despite the fact that she turned him down 3 times in the past. Whoever said third times a charm was an idiot.
After hearing the collision not too far off from her desk, Lois decided to look up from her computer. When she noticed what or better yet who the cause of the collision was she wasn't really surprised. Ever since Clark came back from wherever, he's been running into everything. She knew he was a total klutz sometimes but now it seemed like he was a klutz to the extreme, then again those new glasses he's been wearing could be doing more harm than good.
As Lois continued to bear witness to the train wreck unfolding, her facial expression went from exasperated to dark as she watched slutty Anna stare down at Clark as if he were a fallen piece of milk chocolate Hershey's bar.
' I mean any red-blooded female could see that Clark was gorgeous even with glasses, but that didn't mean she and all the other women at the Planet stared at him for longer than 10, ok 30 seconds at the most', mused Lois.
As she continued to watch, Clark had finally gathered the fallen papers and from Lois' perspective was now invading slutty Anna's personal space, while at the same time wearing that charming smile that always made him look like a freakin saint. Tired of looking at slutty Anna practically scream at Clark that she's available and waiting to be jumped and Clark idiotically falling into her trap by following her, she turned back towards her computer fuming.
'Ughh! The man frustrated her to no end. Why did he have to be so generous and chivalrous, I mean for Christ sakes I thought chivalry was dead! But no, leave it up to Clark freakin Kent to prove me wrong. I mean did he have to help Kasey, Lassie, or whatever her name is pick up her fallen documents, and on top of that did he have to offer to walk all the way back to her desk to drop 'em off. I mean she looked pretty capable to me. Ughh!'
"Lois, Lois?" called a distant voice.
"What!" yelled Lois as she furiously turned in her chair to face the voice that interrupted her mounting frustrations of her bumbling partner.
As her mind worked through her fog of frustration, her vision of the person in front of her cleared to none other than her smiling fiancé. Any other day his nice and disarming smile would have worked to cheer her up, but today wasn't one of those days. Today was a day that she wanted to stay fuming at her partner, why, she didn't know at the moment. But what she did know was that seeing Clark with that dark haired bimbo pissed her off.
"You seem to be in a bad mood today" said Richard.
'No s*** Sherlock', thought Lois with a scowl on her face.
"I just came by to see if my beautiful fiancé wanted to go to lunch with me at this new café across the street. I heard they have really good coffee and other eatable things too", said Richard with a disarming smile.
As Richard saw that Lois made no move to get out of her chair to greet him, he thought that he'd take the initiative and help her up. So he carefully took both of her hands and pulled her up to stand directly in front of him. He then took one of his hands and brought it to Lois' chin in order to lift her head so that her eyes were locked with his.
Before he spoke, he reflectively took a look at her. At the moment she was wearing a scowl and he could tell that though her eyes were locked with his that he was not the focus of her thoughts. Despite that fact, he smiled, knowing that she was probably mad about some story or other. As he continued to stare at his fiancé, he couldn't help but to admire her beauty. From her beautiful hazel speckled with green eyes, to her cute nose that fit perfectly with her face, all the way down to her pink kissable heart shaped lips, the same lips that he had the urge to kiss and never stop.
Closing the short distance between them he brought their faces closer together, but before he could get to her lips he heard someone behind him clearing there throat in an indication that they wanted to be acknowledged.
"Ahem, Lois?" said the deep uncertain voice.
Ok that's what I have so far. If you think I should continue let me know by commenting *Comments= Motivation*
