FINDING YOU
Lois walked into the entrance of the Daily Planet with pure confidence. Why shouldn't she be confident? She was practically famous in metropolis. Not only was she about to marry one of the richest men in Kansas, but she was The Daily Planet's star reporter. She looked down at the huge rock on her finger. She didn't have everything though. She didn't have the love of her life.
To the world it looked like Lois was truly in love with Lex Luthor, but the truth was the man she was really in love with was in Paris with his wife and daughter. She hadn't seen him for almost 5 years ever since that fateful night…..
Flashback (the talon, May 14, 2006)
Lois was about to close the talon doors and go home for the night when Chloe walked in.
Chloe leaned on the counter and gave her a sad look. "Let me guess, you haven't talked to him." Lois rolled her eyes. "No, I'm not going to, listen Chlo, I do have feeling for him, but he is with Lana now, and I don't want to screw up their relationship just because I might want to be with him. Now Chloe was the one that rolled her eyes.
"Listen Lo, you are just scared of what he might say. I know he has feeling for you too; you have to go talk to him. If you don't you are going to regret it for the rest of you life!"
Chloe was right, she would. "Chloe would you finish locking up for me?" Chloe smiled, "You bet I will, now go talk to him."
That was when Lana came into the talon with Clark looking all smiles. Lana raised her finger where there was a beautiful diamond ring. "Clark and I are getting married!"
Lois felt as if the whole world was collapsing around her. Clark gave her a sad look, but to her it felt more like pity. "Congratulations you guys" she said with no enthusiasm in her voice. She ran out of the Talon and cried all the way to the Kent's farm. She went upstairs, packed her things, and left without a minutes notice.
(End Flashback)
She hadn't seen Clark or Martha for almost 5 years. To tell the truth she missed them both immensely. After leaving she got a job at the Daily Planet and shared an apartment with Chloe. Chloe was the top reporter at the Daily Planet for 3 years before getting a job offer at the New York Times. She had accepted. Her and Lois still kept touch, and Chloe came down every once in a while.
When Lois stepped into the elevator she stepped into hell. Three of the reporters were huddled together gossiping about one thing or another. They all wore pink. There was a skinny blonde named Naomi who had slept with pretty much every male reporter in the building. Her two followers, Carrie and Katie were both brunettes. They were pretty much the preps of the Daily Planet.
Carrie caught the glimmer of the huge rock on her finger, and lifted her hand to eye level "Oh My God! So this is why you weren't at work yesterday!" Lex had called Perry and told him to give her the day off. Lois was pissed until she saw what he had in mind. He took her to the finest restaurant in town, and then he proposed in front of the whole restaurant.
All three analyzed her ring like an archeologist would a dinosaur bone. Lois knew they didn't like her, and she didn't like them. But when they found out about her and Lex they treated her like a queen.
"You missed the new reporter though, he is gorgeous," Katie said. "Yeah, Naomi asked him out but he said no, added Carrie. Their elevator reached a stop. "He has the desk next to Benjamin, I think his name was Clark," said Naomi. Lois stopped dead in her tracks.
No, it couldn't be. Maybe she got the name wrong…or it is a different Clark.
Lois ran out of the elevator and looked for Ben's cubicle. There she found the cubicle with the name of the man that haunted her memories.
She found it empty, but then she turned around to see Clark Kent with coffee in hand. He had a smile on his face.
"Hi, Lois"
