Ok this is your old tale as old as time Lois and Clark!!Yay!!!

Ok I was reading this book and at the same time listening to Steps - Yea' I know they're lame but it was part of my reading music yes I know that sounds wierd- 'It's the way you make me feel' and suddenly I got this story line idea...then I got talking to a friend about it and so she gave me some support about it and she even did a trailer for the whole set up thing. So here I am writing this story...there will be slight scenes of Loillie and Clana at the beginning etc...I don't own anything.

I hope you all enjoy it and review at the end. ^^

Falling for my best friend

Chapter 1

"Lois, please tell me once more why you're wearing the red cocktail dress instead of your normal jeans and t-shirt combo?" Chloe asked as she saw her cousin twirl around examining herself in the mirror facing her, her brown locks curled round her shoulder blade. Lois turned to her, her hazel eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Because not only is the guy a total hottie but he also happens to work for this big company." Lois explained as she did up her red strapping high heels. Chloe raised an eyebrow at her. "He's sweet."

"But?" Chloe asked. Lois stood up straight and examined herself once more in the mirror. "This doesn't have anything to do with a recent article about a mysterious brunette and Oliver Queen?"

Lois turned at faced her blonde haired cousin. "Ollie is just a good friend. He wants me at this charity bash as his date so he can prove to his ex-girlfriend Tess that he's over her. Ollie and I are just friends." Lois replied slipping on a few silver bangles that caught the Talon's dim light. Lois smiled towards Chloe.

"Just friends?" Chloe asked in her 'Oh-really' voice. Lois rolled her eyes at her cousin. "Look I just find it funny that you're suddenly into Oliver Queen." She giggled slightly as she watched Lois let out a small sigh. "Ok so what happens if Oliver Queen is into to you?"

"Then it goes into awkward mode. I think he's very handsome and sexy if you like the bad boy sad rich guy type." Lois explained as she added a quick flick of mascara. Chloe moved towards the couch and glanced outside the window just in time to see a car roll up. "I'm more into the guy that hasn't got any ghosts in his cupboard that comes from a decent family and doesn't do anything dodgy."

"Like Jimmy?" Chloe asked referring to her boyfriend of two years. Lois raised an eyebrow. Any guy topic would relate to him. He was such a gentleman it made Lois feel like she was eating something too sweet for her liking. Not that she didn't mind Jimmy but if she met anyone like Jimmy she's prefer to be with Oliver Queen.

"Yea' if you want." Lois said giving a hug smile. A sharp knock on the apartment's door caught Lois's attention. She practically skipped towards the door. "Ollie!" She said as she opened the door. Instead it was a tall dark hair male that blinked with surprise. "Smallville!" She quickly said in the same sing-song voice to hide her disappointment. Clark gave her a quick grin to show her he wasn't fooled by her sudden sweetness and let himself in. "You're here for what reason?" She demanded.

"I came to see Chloe." He replied defensively. Lois rolled her eyes at him. "Not everyone cares about you Lois." Lois bit her bottom lip at his sudden jibe. She looked away and hurried towards the window. Chloe glared at Clark accusingly Clark shrugged his shoulders.

"Clark." She warned edging towards him. He rolled his eyes at her.

"You look nice Lois. Who's the unfortunate guy?"

"Ollie." She replied not tearing herself away from the window. Clark suddenly felt a pang that he wasn't accustomed to. Probably the take away from earlier.

"Be nice." Chloe warned him whacking him playfully on the chest. Clark gave her a look. "I mean it! Compliment her or something!" She hissed. Clark let out a sigh and stared at Lois.

"You look nice." He said glaring towards Chloe. She smiled playfully towards him. Lois turned round and smiled raising an eyebrow at him. "Very pretty."

"Thanks Smallville." She said staring at him biting her bottom lip. "So do I really look ok?" Clark suddenly felt cornered; if he looked at Chloe then Lois would know he'd been forced to compliment her. He wasn't the one who gave compliments. He normally didn't have to. He'd just spent half his life chasing the girl-next-door Lana Lang. Now she had moved to Paris he wasn't feeling like chasing any other woman.

Clark eyed Lois up and down, the dress he noted seemed to glue itself on her curves, she looked good to be honest, his eyes slowly rose and he noticed the deep cleavage that clearly showed her round chest. He swallowed hard and quickly rose towards Lois's brown eyes. "You really look good." He said quickly. "But should you be wearing so little on a first date?" Lois had turned to pick up her silver clutch bag. She whipped round and scowled at him.

"I know you're one of my closest friends but seriously I already have an over protected dad. I don't need an over protective brother. Anyway it isn't a first date. It's just a meal between two people who just happen to have a lot in common." She replied. Clark felt his stomach swoon. That take away really was bad.

"What time are you gonna be back?" Chloe asked innocently. Lois shrugged her shoulders slipping her phone and lipstick into her small purse.

"Late. I dunno. Don't wait up ok?" She asked smiling at her cousin. There came a sharp knock on the door and Lois knew that Ollie had arrived. "Behave kids." She said glancing towards Clark as she went towards the door. She opened it quickly and smiled brightly for Oliver. He was the exact definition of trouble. Clark eyed him up and down; he noted he was wearing a white shirt and dark pants. He could smell the cologne off him and he wasn't even near the guy.

"Hey Lois." He greeted, he handed her a massive bouquet of red roses that smelt incredibly sweet. She inhaled their smell gratefully and took them to her sink, Chloe had grabbed her a vase nearby, she stared at Oliver, he had the boyish charm and she could see why Lois would go out with him, his blond hair was perfectly styled and his smile could light up a room, she had a firm idea where Lois would be tonight after this ball.

"So you're Lois's date this evening?" She said smiling at him encouragingly.

"Yep and don't worry I'll have your sister back before midnight." He said looking towards Clark who seemed to be glaring at him. Lois snorted out laughing.

"Smallville is not my brother!" She chuckled. "Down boy." She said she smiled forcefully at Clark. He gave her a lopsided smile.

"Oh." Oliver said glancing between him and Lois. "You ready to go?" Lois nodded picking up her clutch and taking his offered arm. "Nice meeting you!" He said towards Chloe and Clark.

"You too Oliver." Chloe said politely, Clark merely nodded his head. "Have fun." The couple nodded and left the room. The moment she was sure they had left the building she whacked Clark's head.

"What was that for?" He demanded glaring at his best friend. She gave him a knowing look. "I'm not jealous!"

"I never said you were." Chloe said heading to the fridge. A huge grin was on her lips. "Anyway why are you here?"

"Lana emailed me." He said letting out a harsh sigh. "She's thinking of coming over for Christmas." Chloe winced at the anger heard in his voice. "We were perfect together! What did I do wrong?"

"Clark...Lana might've felt that you needed a break. I mean you've been dating since freshman year...that's like five years ago. She might've wanted to explore the world before settling down with you." Chloe explained gently. Clark stared at her, his blue eyes expressing all the emotion inside him.

"I knew what I wanted. Now I'm not too sure." He replied sadly staring at a picture, in which there was only Chloe, Lois and Lana. Clark had taken the picture, they had just graduated from college and Lana had insisted on him taking the picture of the three women together. He stared at each female separately, Lois now works in journalism, Chloe helps run away children find their way and Lana...well Lana...Lana hadn't fully discovered herself yet...

"Clark..." Chloe said as she followed Clark's gaze. She bit her bottom lip unsure what to say. "You can sleep on the couch."

Like I said Lollie and Chlana at the beginning. Clark does no have his superhero powers but that would complicate things. Review at the end please
