DeNile, It ain't Just a River in Egypt
Chapter 1: Coffee High
Friday Night, 8:39 PM
As the hours flew by, The Talon gradually came to life and slowly became full. Punk Rock music of the wildest bands played sparsely through, vibes filling the atmosphere. Seating soon became limited, taken by the youth high and college crowds. The talk seemed to almost drown and completely eradicate the music, as more crowds fromthe streets steadily poured in.
Busily behind the counters, Lois and the other employees scrambled to meet the customers' needs. A few cups crashed to the floor, shedding into thousands of sharp pieces, as one of the waitress unsuccessfully tried to make her way through the crowd. Another ran over to her with broom and dust pan, helping to clean the mess. Yet others sped around taking orders and placing them to Lois or the other two behind the counter, who dished them back out as fast as they could. Chloe watched on the side lines, helping where needed. Not wanting her cousin to suffer alone in this pinch, she felt obligated to at least help out.
"God, these people act like they're on some kind of coffee high or something," Lois complained, furiously punching out orders that were coming in faster then she could dish them out. "Is there a coffee moon over Smallville tonight, or what?"
"Well, all I have to say is a few more nights like this and The Talon won't ever have to worry about closing down." Martha Kent smiled, preparing to go home but feeling a little uncomfortable leaving the girls here with all this work.
"Yeah, well I'm sure your employees would eventually get very tired of all the extra work."Chloe pulled down the leaver on the coffee machine while Lois filled two cups at a time.
"Are you girls sure you won't need my two hands around, helping out?" Mrs. Kent asked, not very willing to leave after viewing the swelling mass of people in The Talon tonight.
"Mrs. Kent, trust me.I can handle this," Lois handed over a tray filled with three mocha lattes to a nearby waitress."If I can handle the General's five mile obstacle course in the freezing rain, this is a piece of cake." Lois scanned the area with a quick glance, hoping she was right. "So go home, get some rest, and spend some time with Mr. Kent."
A smile spread across Mrs. Kent's face, pleased with how, even though Lois was in her early 20's, she still had the proper manners to call her and Jonathan by "Mr. and Mrs. Kent." "Well, ok, if you girls are sure," She conceded, checking the Talon once more.
"We'll be fine Mrs. Kent.Don't worry.I'll help Lois with any trouble she runs into," Chloe added, trying to reassure her.
With that being said, Mrs. Kent felt slightly more confident about going home."Ok then, goodnight girls."Martha walked outside and proceeded home.
"Goodnight, Mrs. Kent," they said in unison, watching as she disappeared in the sea of people.
"I don't know how much more I can take of this, Clo," Lois said, becoming more impatient as time wore on.
"I know what you mean, I don't think I can either," Chloe admitted, feeling the pressure of the night weighing down on her. If only Clark was here; he would be a one man show. Taking and placing orders and handing out drinks all at once with his super-speed.But, of course, he would never do that...Speaking of the "devil", " Chloe noticed Clark walking through the door.
Clark recognized the fullness of The Talon as he walked in. Groups occupied tables, chatting amongst themselves while laughing and discussing various topics. Others stood, conversing as well, but with no seats to rest in. Clark slowly pushed his way through a few people, spotting Lois and Chloe at the front desk.
"Hi, Chloe.Hi, Lois," Clark showed his pearly whites in his charming smile.
"Hey, Clark. What's up?" Chloe gave back a friendly smile.
Facing the coffee machine while making another order, Lois smiles inside and out, recognizing the voice and hearing his name. Good, maybe this night won't be so bad after all. Busting Smallville's chops always seems to make the night go faster. Lois turned to face him, wearing her usual sarcastic grin upon her face.This look usually meant trouble for poor Clark, who knew it all too well.He could feel her grin twist his gut into a knot. "Well, if it isn't my favorite farm boy," she said, still grinning widely."And how predictable.Sporting none other than farm life's greatest fashion: flannel!"
Clark stared back, giving his unimpressed grin while her face still wore that annoying smirk that irked him so much. Why does she have to be so unbearable and sucha pain?She knows all to well which buttons to push, and she's loving it. He stood there, taking her insults like a gentlemen and watching her expression.Knowing she was enjoying every minute, he squirmed under her glare.
"Well, Lois, you sure don't complain every night, seeing as how you use my flannel shirts as nightgowns," Clark retorted, offering his own sarcastic grin in reply.
"Well, Smallville, no thanks to that flea-bitten mutt of yours, Clarkie..."
"Krypto...," Clark intruded, giving her an aggravated stare.He hated that name, which she knew and took full advantage of.
"Shelby...," Lois smirked, "has completely covered my PJ's with dog hair, and you know as well as I do, being within 2 miles of that mutt makes me go into a sneezing fit."
Clark leaned in closer to Lois, forearms resting on the counter. "Lois, why don't you just admit?Wearing my flannel is just the closest you're going to get to having me in bed." He grinned from ear to ear, knowing he just scored a point. He watched as Lois' hazel green eyes seem to flare on fire, her lips squeezing tightly together and her cheeks tinting red.
"In your dreams, farm boy," Lois sneered."Even then, not in your wildest ones, Smallville."
Chloe saw where the conversation was going and noted that it was getting heated up, thinking she better say something before there was an all-out brawl between them. She really didn't feel like cleaning up broken cups and dishes or mopping up spilled coffee. "Geesh, can't you two stop flirting with each other for one day?" Chloe smiled, seeing the reactions on their faces change dramatically.
"Excuse me!" Clark and Lois said together, both staring at Chloe with their mouths hanging open and eyes widening at the words that escaped her mouth.
"And will you two please stop doing that, too? You guys are freaking me out the way the same words pop out of your mouths and how you too always seem to finish each others sentences. Weird, huh?" She concluded, giving them a sly smile while implying that something was going on between them.
"We do not, absolutely, do not..." Lois began.
Clark instinctively blurted out, not even thinking about it,"...Flirt with each other."
They quickly glanced at one another when they realized what they just did and smiled awkwardly, embarrassed at what just happened. They turned their eyes back to Chloe, who was smiling again but wider, as they just proved her point.
"Chloe, what exactly are you getting at?" Clark was confused and it appeared so on his face, trying to look innocent as though he had been caught red handed.
"Oh come on, you two been doing the "denial waltz" for a while now. Don't deny it," Smiling still, Chloe handing Lois a couple glass cups, who snatched them from her hands.
"Coz, did you wake up and bump your head this morning? What the hell are we suppose to be denying?" Looking puzzled, Lois hoped she wasn't implying what she was thinking that Chloe was implying.
"You two cannot be this blind," Chloe rolled her eyes, not believing the two. "It is so obvious that something is going on between you two. Anyone with half a brain can see that." The Talon began to die down some with only an hour left until closing.
Clark and Lois Laughed, "Clo, you have got to be kidding.Me and Smallville? Could you possible think of any worse couple in the world than us? I really think you should go up for that CAT scan soon." Lois looked at Clark. Never in a million years would that happen. He's so...so incredibly predictable. He's such a Boy Scout, and please, Smallville, chivalry died a long time ago. Me and farm boy? No way! Chloe you are really losing your marbles, Cuz...but… She was still staring at Clark without even realizing it. …he is kind of cute, in a dorky farm boy kind of way... Wait a minute, what the hell am I saying? This is Smallville we're talking about here. Damn Chloe!Ever since she started dating Mr. Charming Brian Shaw and fell head over heals for him, she's been playing matchmaker. Well this is one match that's not going to happen! She didn't really feel as though it would be a totally bad idea, however. It wouldn't be so bad going out with Clar...Smallville. Lois quit it.Get a grip on yourself. Impossible, ain't gonna happen!
Chloe notice how long and hard Lois was starring at Clark with a small grin on her face. She quickly handed Lois a cup to snap her out of her thoughts before Clark could also see that Lois was staring at him with a dreamy smile on her face.
"Ouch, you hit my finger!" Caught off-guard, Lois rubbed her hand, realizing what Chloe did and why.
"Sorry there Lo," Chloe gave her a menacing grin that said: "So, nothing going on? Right."
"I just got off a bad relationship with Lana.I don't need another disaster.I still would like to live to see my 21st birthday," Clark said, a little upset.
Clark still didn't understand how his second chance with Lana, the love of his life (or so he thought), didn't go any better than their first chance. He thought this time with Lana was going to be different, that everything was going to work this time. But he was wrong, the same ole problems like before still were there to haunt them. He couldn't bring himself to tell Lana his secret. There were plenty of chances, but none of them ever felt like the right time. Soon things just started to go down hill. He missed dates with Lana, trying to figure out yet another mystery in Smallville caused by the "Meteor Freaks," as Chloe called them. He would have to come up with some kind of excuse or lie to tell to a very upset Lana. After a while she just couldn't stand it anymore. She gave him the whole speech how things weren't any different from last time and how some things never change. He couldn't blame her. She was right and it wasn't fair to keep hurting her like that. It burned even more the second time to lose Lana.
Now Chloe with her stupid ideals was considering him to date Lois, out of all the people in the world! Lois is a bossy, stubborn, rude, insulting, over-bearing girl...with gorgeous eyes and a beautiful smile. What!...where the heck did that come from?
Clark came to when he felt a fist slam into his chest. Lois just leaned over, giving him a quick punch in the chest for his jesting, insulting words.Only her little friendly punch, it was the one she always gave Clark when he really annoyed her.
"Come on, Clark, it's been three months now and you're still moping about Miss Lang," Chloe teased, rolling her eyes.
more to come soon... Chap 2 HERE
