What happened on Valentines Day?

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Smallville

AN: Form Crimson Episode

"Why did we have to come to this stupid festival anyway? It's just a bunch of hicks trying to sell cheap stuff." Lois stated as she wiped the sweat from her upper lip.

Clark sighed from beside her and gave her the annoyed look he usually does when she makes such comments.

"Lois you didn't have to come you know, but you were complaining about being bored."

"Don't remind me Smallville. I'm going to find your mom and give her the papers she needed for her speech then we can get out of here." She started walking away and said over her shoulder, "Hey what do you say to grabbing Chloe and going swimming? Great, be right back."

Clark wasn't surprised that she didn't even wait for him to answer. Lois liked to take charge, he didn't mind. Clark was just glad to spend time with her. It had been weeks since they had kissed and then some. He couldn't get it out of his head. It felt so right kissing her, jumping through the air with her close to his side. She didn't freak out about his superpowers; did that mean she would be ok with him being a freak?

No, Lois wouldn't look at it as him being a freak. She would see him as some one special. What swept her off her feet with AC was the fact that he wanted to save the world not rule it. Clark didn't know about the whole world but he helped when he could.

Why couldn't he get that kiss, or kisses out of his head? He wished Lois would remember. He felt that he had to be extra careful not to give away that he remembered that day.

Clark watched her move through the crowd, her ponytail swishing from side to side. His eyes traveled down her to rest on her backside. He sighed remember how good she felt in his arms. I wonder how she would have reacted to that day if she had not been dosed? Clark shook his head realizing where his thoughts were taking him. He wondered around a little, but not too much. He knew Lois would be mad if she came back and couldn't find him immediately.

He came to a booth that sold jewelry, one necklace caught his eye. It was silver and had several red stones in it. He should have realized that the red stones were actually Red Kryptonite, but he wasn't thinking much of anything but Lois. Normally Clark Kent would not wear such jewelry, but he felt drawn to this one. As soon as he picked it up his eyes turned red and a smirk appeared on his face. Clark put on the necklace and looked at him self in the mirror.

"That'll be 5 dollars," the booth owner told him. Clark gave him a dull look and dug the money out of his pocket. Clark turned to look for Lois and saw her heading straight for him. He walked to meet her half way.

"So I'll call Chloe and have her meet us there, and then we'll go back to your place to grab our suits." Lois was once again staying with the Kent's. Her apartment was being fumigated.

"I already called Chloe, she's busy, but we can still go. We don't even have to take our suits." Clark turned and went to the truck, started it up and waited for Lois. He didn't have to wait long. She was caught off guard by his remark but just shrugged it off as Smallville being weird. Lois hopped in the truck. "You're place, we're getting the suits. You're not getting a look at the girls that easy."

"Does that mean I'll get a look at them if I try harder?" Clark was staring right at her; she noticed his eyes dropped to her chest. The tank top she was wearing gave a nice view of her cleavage. "Hey Smallville, stop looking at me as though you can see right through my shirt. Just drive."

Clark started the engine and headed for his house. They didn't speak much so Lois was alone with her thoughts. What is up with Clark? It is so annoying when he has these, what would you call it, mood swings? More like personality swings. I've never seen him out in out stare at my chest before, or any woman's chest for that matter. He is always Mr. Manners. Still I don't mind him looking.

At least it doesn't feel awkward to be alone with him anymore. I just couldn't face him after Valentine's Day. Oh, that was so embarrassing. There has to be someway to remember what happened. What I do remember is just flashes that don't make since. I remember dancing with Clark, that stupid Henna tattoo, and flying though the air. Ok that last part has to be a dream. No one can fly. Clark sure did seem awfully sure of what did or didn't happen the day after. Could he remember? Wouldn't he have told me?

"Lois we're here," Clark said snapping her out of her confused thoughts. Lois realized she knew they had been there for a few minutes, yet Clark hadn't said anything. He just sat there looking at her. Staring at her breast is actually what he was doing. He was doing his best not to use his x-ray vision again. That would come soon enough.

"Well what are you waiting for Smallville? Let's get our stuff and head to the lake. It is so hot I can't wait to dive into the cool water."

Ten minutes later they were back in the truck heading to the lake. Lois had on a loose tank top and short over her two piece red swimsuit. Clark had on a loose shirt and his blue swim trunks, the Red K necklace still around his neck. Clark drove in the direction of the lake but took a detour. He didn't want a lot of people around, and on a hot day like this everyone would be at the lake. He knew of a secluded spot where it would just be him and Lois. When Lois questioned him about taking a different way to the lake he told her he knew a better spot. She just shrugged and looked out the window.

The spot Clark took them too was beautiful. The water was so clear you could almost see the bottom even in the deepest parts. Clark set down the bag that held the sunscreen, towels, and a change of clothes. He removed his shirt and waited for Lois to do the same. She was looking at the water, surprised that she didn't see anyone else around. She didn't mind though, she knew she would have more fun that way. She removed her tank top and then her shorts. Clark was watching the entire time, if he didn't have control of his heat vision the entire surrounding forest would have burst into flames.

Lois finally turned to him and noticed he was watching her. When she noticed the look in his eyes a tingling sensation shot through her body. As usual she shrugged it off. If he continued to stare at her like this it would be a long day. Lois walked to the bag Clark had sat down and pulled out her towel and the sunscreen. She placed her towel on the ground and said, "Smallville put some of this sunscreen on my back."

Clark smirked and took the bottle from her. She was always giving him orders, but he didn't mind. That's was just part of who Lois was. Clark sat very close behind Lois with his legs on either side of her. He squirted some lotion in his hands and started to rub her shoulders and back. Lois didn't count on how his hands on her would make her feel but she didn't stop him. His hands slid over her shoulders down the sides of her arms and back up. He rubbed her back and carefully slid a hand under her bra string, then her lower back. Lois sucked in a sharp breath the lower he went. He was done with the lotion but would not stop rubbing her back. He leaned in to her to whisper in her ear.

"Lois, do you want to know what happened on Valentines Day? I can tell you, I remember every single detail." He kissed the part of her neck under her ear. Lois would never admit it, but that made her melt inside. Clark took it as a good sign that she wasn't yelling and jumping away from him.

"Clark how is it that you remember?"

"I never forgot."

Lois turned to him, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I'm telling you now. But you'll have to catch me first." Clark got up and ran into the water. Lois sat there for only a moment before chasing after him. She was going to find out what happened. Maybe that would explain why Clark was acting so strange today.
