WRESTLING
Two days later, Clark is on his way to town, picking up supplies. Martha asked him to drop some papers off at Lois's place for her. He tries to call her cell phone a few times, but no answer. He is very frustrated.
Clark is knocking on the door loudly, trying to get her to answer ...Whitesnake music is blasting behind the door- Lois doesn't answer!
Finally, he opens the door, walks over and turns off the cd- "Lois, if you turned that down, you could probably answer the door and the phone when someone calls!"
Lois-" Hey! This is my favorite CD!-don't turn that down! What do you want anyway Smallville?"
Clark-"Why do you like whitesnake so much?" is looking at her intensely...
Lois-"Why do you like plaid so much? "
Clark just looks at her and roles his eyes at her."Mom asked me to bring these by, he hands her a stack of papers.
She takes them and starts looking at them.
He starts walking around, like he wants something. she just glances at him curiously a couple of times but then goes back to looking at the papers.
Finally she figures she better ask him before he wears out he floor walking.
Clark doesn't know why he's still hanging around. He isn't in the mood to go home or be alone. and she is just being as dismissive as ever. This is really annoying him.
Finally she sets the papers down and looks at him.
"What's wrong with you Smallville? Have you got something on your mind?"
He just looks at her and tries to think of something to say. "How come you like whitesnake so much?" he spits out. "That was stupid! he thinks to himself "Why am I asking her that again!"
Lois is totally confused. "What the hell is wrong with him?" she thinks.
"Well, for one thing, Three Star Generals hate White Snake! and secondly, it seems to annoy you. So that's enough for me."
She smiles a sarcastic grin at him. he smiles back but doesn't know what to say.
She gives him a serious look and waits for him to say something, anything!
There is something about him that is making her uneasy. "It's like he's waiting on me to do something..." she thinks.
Finally, he thinks of something.
"So, have you been working on any new stories lately?"
"Well, yes. Not that I'm giving you any details!"
"Lois! I'm not competing with you!"
"Maybe, but you tend to give a certain cousin of mine a hand when it comes to news, so lets just not go there!"
He just looks at her and roles his eyes.
"Not everything is a competition you know!"
"Sometimes, competition is good for you. You know…, she thinks out loud "You should take a taekwondo or karate course,"
Before she can finish, He starts laughing at her.
"Seriously, it would help you work out your frustrations"
"Lois, I know how to fight." He looks at her sarcastically.
"Taekwondo and Karate isn't about fighting, it's about mind and body discipline."
He just looks at her very amused
"Okay, with karate, you can take someone twice your size and take them out in under a minute"
"I don't think so"
"You want to bet?" she says challenging him
"Okay, take your best shot!"
"20 bucks when I win!" She says with confidence
She gets up and moves the coffee table out of the way. He just looks at her and holds his arms out with his palms up impatiently
She grabs his right arm turns around and to his surprise she flips him on to the ground.
"Fine" he thinks, "Two can play this game!" He holds his hand out and gives her a sheepish grin.
"Okay Smallville," she says happily "Time to pay up!" and with that she takes his hand to pull him up only to find herself on her back and him on top.
"Okay," she thinks, I'll just have to try another move on him. With that she tries to flip him back around, but finds he isn't budging! Not at all!
"What are you made of, Lead?! She says in her most annoyed manner.
"Not exactly," he says as he grins at her.
"Fine, let me up"
He just looks at her, the smile disappears and he seems to be in deep thought.
"Come-on Smallville, I don't want to have to hurt you!" She says hoping he will smile and get up.
Instead he leans in, "I was thinking, he said in an almost whisper, "maybe…maybe we could…he leans in and closes his eyes and she knows he is about to kiss her.
She wants to push him away. She doesn't. She wants to say something to make him mad, she doesn't. Instead she closes her eyes and opens her mouth in anticipation, when they both hear the door open and Chloe's voice as she says in shock at what she thinks she is seeing, "Whoa, am I interrupting something? She says trying to contain her laughter. The sight of the two of them together like that, is funny as Hell to her!
Clark jumps up, (trying to remember not to super speed up!) and says in his most guilty voice, "Uh, Lois was just showing me some karate."
"Yea," Chloe says as she eyes Lois
Lois rolls her eyes at Chloe as she gets up. "Your timing is perfect" she says, "I was just about to kick Clarks butt!" And with that she hits him in his arm harder than she usually does and gives him an angry frown.
"Yea, you really looked like you were on top of things Lois!" Chloe says teasingly
"Hah" she looks at Chloe sarcastically, and then turns to Clark "you know, you might have caught me off guard one time, but it won't happen again!" and with that, she gives him a twenty.
"We had a bet…" Clark says with a red face.
Chloe just looks at both of them, even more amused; she just can't help but laugh. Clark, is turning three shades of red by now, and decides to get the hell out of there.
"I have to go now" he says as he almost trips to the door.
When he leaves, Chloe looks at Lois still smiling, and says "Okay, what was really going on?"
