Ok this is set in season 8 and takes place at the time of bloodline would have happened - with a little rewrite on my part

this is my first attempt at a story so don't blame me if it absolutely blows

Clois forever! Why are you coming back Lana? lol

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If you touch me one more time Smallville I will ram this Def Leopard album down your throat – now don't make me do it cos I've ha…"

"… had that album since you were ten – I know – just looked like you could use a hand is all"

"Yeah sure! Like you weren't just lookin' to cop a feel or something." I do enjoy making Smallville blush, it must be done, he's got far to confidant around me lately and I gotta say that is just… really…interesting…

You know maybe working together has helped him step up his game a bit – I mean only one day in the office and I finally got him out of that plaid shirt he loves. What can I say the man can pull of a suit…

Wow OK focus Lois or you're gonna drop this box.

"After you Lois"

Ughh why does he have to smile like that – stupid charming smile…

"Well what you waiting for farm boy? Ladies first!"

Can't wait to offload this stuff in the Kent house again. I really missed this place. Guitar hero weekends with Clark will be making a come back, with probably movie nights during the week… wow I'm gonna be seeing a lot of this guy – well it beats being alone! And he's not bad company…

I think he thought this was gonna be awkward or something. You'd think after sharing a house with Lana he'd be used to living with a girl about the place. I mean what's he afraid of? That I'm gonna see him in his snoopy boxers? Hhmmm Clark Kent in Just boxers ….. hhhhmmmmmmm…………. Oh crap! Stupid heavy box!

"Well I'm glad to see that you had the box under control Lois. I'd hate to think your whitesnake collection got damaged by the drop"

Oh this is just great I'm only in the door and Clark gets to one up me like that! Well he'll just have to learn that there's no such thing as one upping a Lane. I am top banana! I am on top… in all situations.

"So Lois do you want me in the bedroom?"

Huh? "What?"

"I said do you want me to take this to the bedroom?"

"Yeah, sure, I'll have you, take you… I mean – just take it up stairs."

What the heck is wrong with you Lane? Get control! It's only Smallville for crying out loud.

"Ookaay Lois well I'm gonna dump this up there and then I'm gonna take a shower"

"You're gonna take a shower? Now?"

"Ah… Yeah… you know I was doing farm work before you called for a lift and I'm meeting that source I told you about for the catterwald story…"

"Wow wow wow copy boy! You are not meeting that source – WE are meeting that source."

"Lois your scared the last source – he thought you were gonna stab him with your pencil!"

"He was withholding evidence Clark! We have a duty to get to the truth!"

"He was eight Lois – it was his Uncle that owned the store!"

"Association makes a person just a liable for a crime"

"Funny after all the time I spend with you nobody seems to think that I'm rude, bossy – and oh they CAN stand me!"

"Hey I'm not trying to win a popularity contest – and not everyone likes a complete do-gooder and sometimes people need tough love Clark! And you…" I demanded stressing every word by prodding Clark's chest with my finger. "You... you …… What are you laughing at Kent?"

Why does he have to use that damm smile on me? Well he's gonna have to do better than that.

"You know what? give me that box Smallville!"

"Lois where are you goi…?"

"You know Kent if you can't stand the way I work maybe you shouldn't have helped me move in with you!"

"Of course I want you here Lois" he said lowering his voice and setting the box on the table beside us. "I wouldn't have asked you to move in if I didn't want you here." He whispered moving closer to stand in front of me.

"Smallville what did I just say about touching me?" I gasped as his hands placed themselves on my arms. Still he was moving that bit closer to me – why on earth do I keep looking at those baby blues of his? Does he have any idea what that does to me? My heart is beating so fast I'm surprised HE can't hear it… what's he doing coming so close like that?

"Shower" I breathed against his lips

"Sorry, what?" He blinked

"We… ah you…you were gonna have a shower" I manage to get out

"Am yeah… I'll just take the box upstairs for you" he said lifting his hands

Moment broken. That was close. Hhmmm he still isn't moving away though. I reach up to push him towards the box but the push becomes more like a caress and my hands just end up resting on his broad muscular chest. And his face is still too close. I try to step back and trip on my stupid record box but instead of falling I find Clark's hands encircling my waist– leaning together like we just dipped in the middle of an awkward dance.

"Quick hands Kent" I gulp as I feel his breathe on my cheek and then my neck as his head lowers towards my racing pulse. My heart rate intensifies knowing his lips are close enough to just barely graze my skin.

"Clark…?" I gasp as I turn my head towards him. But after meeting his intense gaze his eyes shift towards my lips and I close my eyes as he pulls me up towards him and lets his mouth touch against mine. His hands shifting on my back to pull me up straight against his hard body, he deepens the kiss and before I can stop myself I'm kissing him back! Moving against each other in the kitchen, I suddenly realised that Smallville could really rev this Harleys engine. I might join him for that shower - just to cool off.
