Can't stop loving you
Chapter 1
She watched him from afar. There was something off with him recently. Sure she knew that he was clumsy, but it was different lately. His clumsiness was over the top the last few weeks. He was always tripping over something or breaking things. She sort of found it cute before, but now it seems that he was running from something.
But running from what?
She wanted to know what the thing with her best friend was. She really hoped that it was not Lana or for the matter any other Lana wannabe in Clark's life. She didn't know if she could handle another episode of this never ending soap opera.
Lois sighed then walked to her desk.
"Hey Smallville, what's up?" she asked hoping that he would confide in her.
Startled by her appearance, he jumped and watched her with wide eyes.
"He…hey Lois"
"So, how are you lately?" she tried again.
"Fine! And you?" he asked shyly not wanting to have eye contact with her.
She took note of that too; Clark didn't look her in the eyes anymore and he was no more the sparring partner he was years ago. What the heck was wrong with him, she asked herself.
She frowned and looked him up and down as if she would find the answers on him.
He was squirming under her inspection. Why was she looking at him like that?
He couldn't take it anymore.
"What?" he nearly snapped.
She looked him straight in the eyes before answering
"Nothing! I was just making sure you were ok" she said before going back to work.
"Chloe I'm telling you, I can't be near her. She's…she's like…she makes me weak in the knees. I don't know what to do?" he said sadly.
"Clark why don't you tell her how you feel"
"How can I tell her how I feel when I don't know myself what I am feeling Chlo" he said while looking at her with pleading eyes.
"Look, why don't you try to decipher your feelings first then just tell her"
"But what if she doesn't feel the same?" he asked with a small voice.
Chloe gave him a small smile.
"You can't expect Lois to have the same feelings Clark. But at least you'll know how she feels and you can move on from there"
He released a deep breath before getting up.
"Yeah. Thanks Chloe"
They said their goodbyes.
She went to her Watchtower duty while he went back to his fortress to analyze his growing feelings for Miss Lane.
30 minutes later
"Chloe I'm telling you there's something wrong with Smallville"
"And what is it this time Lo? Last time you thought that he was having a secret affair with a girl somewhere because he was always out of the office. Now what does Clark have according to you" Chloe asked with a roll of her eyes.
Lois glared at her.
"He is jumpy. His clumsiness is not normal. He…he…I don't know how to explain it Chloe, but farm boy is not acting as himself"
"Maybe you are scaring him" Chloe proposed with a smirk.
"I'm not scaring him more than usual. Did he tell you something?"
When Chloe looked down and then everywhere but her, Lois knew that the King of Plaid talked to Chloe. This bothered her. Why didn't he come to her? Didn't he trust her?
"No he didn't" Chloe lied.
The cousins looked at each other for a few seconds before Chloe broke the eye contact.
"Ok Chlo. If he comes to you and that it is something huge, please let me know" Lois pleaded with her eyes.
Chloe only nodded then Lois went out.
The blond released a deep breath. What was it with her two best friends? Does she look like a shrink to them or what?
One week after…
Looking at the empty desk in front of her, Lois released a sigh. It's been a week since her talk with Chloe and a week since Clark seemed to have more to do outside than in the office and… with her.
After watching her best friend all those past weeks, she sadly noticed that there was a large gap forming in their friendship. She didn't know what to do? She didn't want to lose the only constant relationship in her life…well except Chloe but she was family it doesn't count!
Releasing a deep breath, she went back to her work thinking of different ways to confront Clark.
One hour.
He was out for one hour and didn't say a word to her when he came back.
"Clark?"
"Yeah?" he answered without looking at her.
"Tonight you and I are going to have dinner. Be at my place at 7pm. don't be late Clark, I won't be responsible for my actions if you do" she ordered while glaring at him.
When he looked up, clearly frighten by her request, she gave him a huge satisfied grin before going out.
Pacing left and right before her with a frighten look she couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not funny Chloe. I'm telling you, she is going to grill me"
"Well you should have acted wisely instead of ignoring her completely Clark. You know her as well asI do. Lois would have noticed your reaction sooner or later"
"Well I would have preferred later if you want to know"
"Clark, tell her how you feel. It would be the best for both of you if you come out clean. This situation is getting ridiculous. It may not be as hopeless as you think."
"I know" he agreed with a sigh.
"Then tell her"
"Ok" he said with a small voice.
Chloe's eyes went wide. Did she really convince Clark Kent to tell Lois Lane that he was madly in love with her? Wow! She should maybe consider changing fields and be a Psy or something like that?
Well she couldn't wait to hear the details of the dinner between Lois and Clark.
