Chapter 2
Lois collapsed into Chloe's chair and sighed. She had been at the Daily Planet for the last ten minutes, and there had been no sight of her cousin. In fact, the place was near deserted. Where the hell is she? Lois wondered. Even though she longed to return to Clark's arms, a part of her was worried. It wasn't like Chloe to desperately beg her to meet her here, and then become a no show. Lois glanced at the clock on the wall.
"I'm giving her five minutes," she muttered, standing and beginning to pace again. "If she's not here by then, she-" Lois froze. She quickly spun around, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach.
"Smallville," she greeted with a slow smile. "I knew I felt you." He grinned, moving towards her like a predator to its prey. He circled her, a knowing smirk on his face.
"Say, you don't happen to know, what's the deal with Chloe? I was supposed to meet-"
"She's tied up," Clark interrupted her. At Lois' look, he continued. "I um, I just saw her."
"Where?" Lois moved towards the double doors, but Clark caught her arm and spun her close to him.
"She's…busy with Jimmy," he murmured.
"Oh," Lois whispered, her gaze alternating between his eyes and his lips. He smirked knowingly.
"You know…I think we should be getting busy too." Lois glanced up, but before she could ask him to repeat himself, he smiled and captured her lips with his. Closing her eyes, she moaned before pulling away.
"I knew I've kissed you before," Lois said. He smiled in response. She pulled him close and kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off the ground, somehow bringing her closer to him. He twirled them slowly as they broke away. She laughed softly.
"God, you make feel like I'm flying," she whispered in amazement. He grinned, sliding her back to the ground again.
"Wait, where are you going?" she asked as he moved towards the lifts. He glanced back.
"Come on, I've an idea," he said, holding out his hand. She beamed and ran to him, grabbing his hand. He pressed the button to summon a lift. Lois shifted on her feet.
"So…" He rolled his eyes.
"You still hate uncomfortable silences?" She shrugged with a small smile. A ding was heard as the doors slid open. Walking inside, Clark pressed another button.
"I think I know how I can help," he said, backing Lois up against the wall.
"Oh yeah?"
The doors opened again, and Lois detached her lips from Clark's. She detangled her legs from his waist and hopped down.
"I like your distractions," she declared with an impish grin. He laughed as she caught his hand in hers.
"God, you're like fresh air. I don't know why we didn't get together sooner," he said. She chuckled.
"Well, I-" She stopped short. "Smallville, what are we doing on the roof?" She glanced around. "I didn't think you were into the kinky stuff, but I'm all for it out in the open too," she whispered, her hands gliding up his chest. He laughed again.
"Actually no, that's not why we're here." She pouted. He smiled, raising her chin with his finger. "Maybe later…" He said. She smiled, and pressed her lips against his, their passion so intense it almost choked them.
"Wow," Lois mumbled, taking her lips from his when oxygen became an issue. "I really need to start kissing you more often." Her brow furrowed. "Though what I don't understand is how-when did I kiss you before?" He answered her with another lingering kiss.
"That can be answered another time. But now…" His hand gestured to the skyline of Metropolis, painted gorgeous shades of pink and red by the dying sun. Lois stepped forward.
"It's beautiful," she stated softly.
"Beautiful." She glanced over and saw his heavy gaze was resting on her. He covered the distance between them and gathered her in his arms.
"So, did you just bring me up here to show me the sunset?" she asked. "Because, frankly, they're much better at home."
"Home?"
"Yeah. In Smallville," she continued, looking down at her feet. She gasped. "Clark, I-we're floating!" Her gaze snapped to his face when he chuckled.
"I know."
"What?!" Her eyes were wide, and she desperately clung to him.
"You said I make you feel like you're flying, so I decided to do it for real," he explained softly.
"But…how?"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Lois," he said carefully. "You'll find out in time." She nodded, not thinking she was capable of doing anything else. They were quiet for a few moments are they flew higher and higher over Metropolis.
"So…we're flying?" she asked quietly. His answer was a smile. "This is…wow."
"You're the only one I've ever taken flying, Lois." When she looked up, there were tears waiting to fall in her eyes. She lunged at him, taking her lips with his, their tongues battling for dominance.
"Whoa, whoa," Clark broke away with a laugh. "If we're gonna continue this, we'd better be on the ground. I don't want to be…distracted." She giggled. They landed a few seconds later.
"Where are we?" Lois enquired. A slow smiled crossed Clark's face as a sign caught his attention.
"Come on," he said, dragging Lois across the street.
