Chapter one

April 26,2013

It was depression all over again, Clark was now 26 years old lived in a small apartment building and was as lonely as the old lady that lived across the way, with her seven hundred cats, he just didn't have the cats or any animal.

He was shot down again! He figured that it was about time to get out there and start dating again, because Lana was never coming back to him. No matter how hard he begged or prayed at night, there was just no way Lex would give her a divorce whether she wanted it or him. It was against the Luthor religion. But Lana wasn't the problem anymore it was every woman on the face of earth.

It was like she sprayed him with anti woman charm. He hated her for that. He hated that he couldn't even talk to a woman let alone sleep with one, it was really getting to him he didn't think he could go home to another "hand relief", as he referred it to.

But just as he figured it to be time to go home, as the woman who just shot him down with a" You want to dance with this? Um I don't think so kid why don't you go home to mommy, farm boy." started walking towards her friends and pointing and laughing. It felt like high school again. Not sure how to react to her. His head fell and started to walk out of the nightclub just as a young woman was walking in. Bumping into each other he barley lifted his head with a,

" Oh, sorry bout that".

The brunette grabbed his hand and said with a tipsy look on her face, " damn right you better be sorry and just for that I think you owe me a dance"Grabbing his hand and leading him to the dark dance floor, when a song came on the speakers "girlfriend".

He felt a rush when she started dancing and grinding all over him. He stood there surprised at the young woman who so wanted him or his body at least considering it being to dark to even be able to tell what his facial features looked liked. She spoke to him while grabbing him by the hips,

" what's wrong try and loosen up".

"It is just you took me by surprise, and I don't really come here to dance all over girls".

"Well that's nice to know because I am not a girl "

Clark backed up quickly. When she grabbed him again

" relax I was only stating that I am not a girl, I was trying to refer to the fact that I am a woman...all grown up and take full responsibility for my actions".

She laughed as he came back to touching distance.

"Oh in that case lets take this dance some where else because I don't know how"

she laughed and just answered his somewhat of a question with another grab of the hand and brought him out to the back alley throwing him in front of her. Clark hit the brick wall behind him and wasn't sure if the brunette with no face was going to attack him.

She did, she came up in front of him pressing her warm breast tightly against his heavily falling chest. And at that he grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her up against the opposing wall, he stalked towards her and closed the distance in between them with a warm kiss on her soft velvet lips they tasted of cigarettes and vodka, but he didn't care about that. He was surprised when she pushed him off of her. He knew he was a good kisser thanks to Lois for pointing that out to him.

"So is it your place or mine I'd prefer yours unless that's a problem?"

" Mine would be fine"

"Okay then we're off"

feeling as if she was in the wizard of oz with that comment she shut up quickly and lead the way once again. Clark walked behind her, he knew exactly what was about to come out of this, and with that he muttered under his breath,

"No hand relief tonight".

She looked back at him with a questioning look;

"Did you say something?"

Clark began to blush a rosy red color;

" No I didn't say anything"
