Chapter 7
One week later
He sighed while watching the sun rise.
One more week to go, he thought.
During this past week, his friends didn't let him brood at all. They tried to entertain him as much as they could...and sometimes it genuinely worked but at other times, he had to pretend.
They could try everything; he didn't think that he'll be able to forget Lois Lane.
At the mention of her name, a small smile came to his face.
She may be the reason he was heartbroken, but he couldn't blame her for that.
You don't chose who you love!
So he decided to enjoy his time with his friends and stopped trying to forget Lois; it was useless!
And he was glad he tried to act non-broody. He learned a lot about his new friends. He learned that the new guys were part of Oliver's team and that they were all helping to save the world.
He also learned a lot about Diana. He found out that she was a strong woman who was totally independent.
But she was weird sometimes. It was as if she was new to this world.
There were times where he wondered if she ever lived on earth recently...
He smiled at that. She may be weird, but she was becoming a good friend; she listened to him when he had to complain, she gave advice when needed and she even played the girlfriend when the guys set him up with some girls.
When she would be in Smallville, they would have to hang out together.
Maybe he could even introduce her to Chloe and Lois? I'm sure they will appreciate each other, he thought.
"Dreaming again Clark?" he heard Oliver asked.
"No. Just realising that I'm having fun here"
"FINALLY" Oliver exclaimed.
"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah! No need to remind me"
" So? Aren't you going to buy the 'famous' breakfast in the 'small shop in town'" Oliver asked sarcastically.
Clark rolled his eyes; something he'd learn with Lois.
"Don't act as if you don't appreciate the breakfast we're bringing from Paris"
"I'm not complaining. Just waiting for you to go coz I'm hungry" the millionaire whined.
"Hey I'm up and waiting for Bart"
And right in time, Bart Allen appeared and both, him and Clark, sped off to France.
Watching the boys go, he turned around with a smile on his face.
"Good job there Princess"
Just then Diana appeared out of nowhere.
"You're welcome Mr Queen"
"So it wasn't that hard? Told you he wouldn't see through us"
"Yes you did. But still! How can he be so oblivious?" the young woman wondered.
"Well he always was blind on some things and, he, being preoccupied by Lois isn't helping his case"
"Fortunately for us then"
"Totally. So how are things going on between you two?"
"Things are good. We are slowly becoming friends. I really like him. I think that we could be great friends. And because of this I'll do all I can to distract him during the coming week"
"That's the spirit! He needs a distraction and you need to blend in"
"Speaking of blending, how am I doing?" Diana asked.
"Not so bad. You have some weird moments, but your natural charm blind us all"
"So when am I going to meet the rest of the team?"
"You already met some. And when we go back to Smallville, I'm going to introduce you to the rest of the club. For now, you're here; on my request should I add, to distract Clark and to learn how to live with normal human beings"
She raised an eyebrow.
"Well as normal as could be" he rectified with an eye rolled.
"Are you going to meet him again then?" Chloe asked her cousin. She just learned that Lois had a date this week with Perry White's nephew.
"Yes maybe. He's a good guy"
"You're not interested to start something with him, are you?" Chloe asked worried that Lois would jump into a new relationship to bury her growing feelings for non other that farm boy aka Clark Kent.
Giving her young cousin a small smile, Lois shook her heard.
"I'm not Chlo. He could be a good friend. And besides, I'm still working on sorting out my feelings for Smallville"
"And?"
"And what?" Lois asked innocently
"Oh come on Lo. Spill it out! What did you find out?"
"Well I find out that I may have stronger feelings for the king of plaid".
"And what are you going to do about it?"
"Not hide it, if it's what you're asking" Lois said with one eyebrow raised and her famous smirk.
"So will you tell him as soon as he comes back, or are you going to phone him while he's in Mexico or maybe..."
"Chloe stop it. You're getting me dizzy with all this"
"Sorry" the blond said shyly.
"I think I'll wait for him to return, and then find a way to apologize and tell him how I feel"
"I can't wait for that day to happen. So much less headache in perspective" Chloe said dreamingly.
Lois simply smile and shook her head at her cousin's behaviour.
She couldn't wait either to see Clark again.
Hopefully, he'll forgive her and then they could try to start a new relationship.
