Chapter 8: Honeymooners Part 1

Three days after the wedding. 5:30 a.m.

"Smallville, hurry up! How long are you going to be in there? I need to go to the bathroom now!" Lois Lane is standing in the front of the bathroom door.

"I'll be out in a minute. I just need to shave."

"What?! Do that later!" an irritable Lois answered.

Clark stepped out of the bathroom dressed only in a towel, waters still dripping. Lois didn't know where to look, she didn't know if she wanted to look at his face or at his well built body. She decided to just look away and said, "Make your self decent."

"You know, this is not the first time you saw me naked, if I remember it correctly, you stared at me for like 5 minutes before you handed me the blanket." said a grinning Clark, showing his white teeth.

"It was just an accident." Lois tries to defend herself.

"Or maybe the first time you saw me, you already have a crush on me?"

"What?! No!" She saw Clark grinning widely.

"Whatever Farmboy!" she stepped inside the bathroom and slammed the door shut. She can hear Clark laughing hard which pissed her off.

"Where do you want to go now? Perry won't bother us since he knows that we are on leave for a week." He gets his glasses from the drawer.

Lois is currently arranging her hair into a ponytail. She now wore a tight fitting jeans and a hanging blouse. Clark wore a plaid shirt and jeans.

"Yesterday, we were in a cold place. I want to be in a tropical place today."

Clark's brows furrowed. Lois put on the sunglasses and pinched Clark's cheeks. "Let's go to beach. Come on!"

"What? We are not even packed yet."

"Smallville, I already did." she smiled and started pulling Clark out of the house. Clark smiled back and started following Lois.

Boracay, Philippines

The couple started their tour. So many people can be seen. The one on the lead is Lois who is busy taking pictures of the scenery and children playing. Clark took the time in staring at Lois. She wore a blue two-piece swimsuit, you can see her beautiful body and long legs. Men keep looking at her, either local or foreigner, like them. Lois seems oblivious to it all. She's busy looking at the pictures she had taken at her digital camera. She then noticed that Clark is not beside her. She took a glance at her back then saw Clark standing a few feet behind her.

"Smallville, this is such a beautiful place. This has got to be one of the best beaches. Thank you for bringing me here." Clark smiled and started approaching her.

"Wait! Just stand there for a minute. I'll take some pictures of you."
Clark chuckled and followed Lois' order. After taking his pictures, Lois approached her and put one arm around his shoulder. She put her camera an arm length from them then took their photo. They both smiled. Clark wished that they would always be like this until they grow old. But then he realized that one of this days, when everything is in the right place, they will separate, especially if she found the man who she loves. He felt a pang on his chest. He looked at his wife who looked at him with a smile on her face. But then she saw Clark's sad face,

"Four-eyed farmboy, something's wrong? You looked so sad in this picture." He looked at the camera and gave them back to Lois. He changed the topic of their conversation.

"Nothing Lo. Would you like something to drink?"

Lois stared at him. His heart melts everytime he sees those hazel green eyes of hers. Then she spoke, "Pineapple juice, I guess." She smiled. Then whispered in his ears, "No superpowers for the meantime."

"Sure." Clark runs in normal speed.

Lois stared at the place where he saw Clark was looking before. She saw an old couple who are seating in the sand, holding hands, and sharing a laugh. 'Are we going to be like them when we get old?' she thought.

She decided to take a seat in the sand. She watched people swimming in the beach not so far away from her. She noticed a young girl slipped at the bridge and fell in the water. She put the camera down and run towards the water. She swam looking for the girl. She dived in and out of the water until he caught the girl – who looks that she's not breathing - in her arms. She brought the girl ashore. They started to attract the people's attention. Lifeguards are running towards them.

Clark was shocked to see people panicking when he stepped out of the restaurant. He used his super hearing and relieved when he heard that the situation is now under control.

He moved towards where his wife is standing a while ago, and picked the camera.

"Lois."

Using his X-Ray vision, he saw his wife standing at the center of the panicking people. He saw Lois giving a young girl a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

"Excuse me. Excuse me." Clark ran towards Lois.

"Lois."

Lois felt the presence of her husband. She looked at Clark.

"Clark." Lois said to him. Then the girl started coughing the water out. The life guard helped the girl to stand up and took her to the clinic.

"Mam, Sir, is she your daughter?" Lois and Clark looked at each other and shook their head. Lois explained what happened.

"Mam, we are going to look for her parents now."

"Ok." Lois looked at the girl. The girl said thank you. Lois nodded and brushed her hands on the girl's hair.

When the people started to dispersed, Clark whispered in her ears,

"You're my Superwoman." He winked and pinched her nose. She gave him a playful punch on the shoulder.

"Smallville, I know that worried look. Somebody needs you." She gently tapped his face. "Go, be careful." Clark nodded and supersped.

(scene break)

4 p.m. She changed her clothes into a floral dress. She decided to let her hair down. She's walking on the shore. She keeps looking at her watch, Clark is still not back. A while ago, when she was buying native necklaces and bracelets, she had a glanced at the t.v and saw Superman is in Indonesia, helping people who have been a victim of a typhoon. She then picked some shells.

"Hello."

She looked at where the voice was coming. "Hi. How are you?"

The five year old girl smiled. "I'm fine now. Thank you for saving me before. And before I forgot, my Uncle wanted me to give you this. I'm Sandy."

"Thanks for the flowers, I'm Lois." Lois smiled sweetly at Sandy.

"I'll be back Ms. Lois." The girl ran away from her. She saw her pull the hand of a tall man. He looks like to be in his early 30's, tan complexion. He is either a native or a foreigner or both.

Sandy is panting when they approached her. "Ms. Lois meet my Uncle Marlon."

Lois nodded and offered her hand for a handshake. He then kissed her hand. "Thank you for saving my niece. I was in a staff meeting and didn't realize that she will be swimming without me."

"It's ok. She slipped. It was an accident. But next time make sure she has someone with her when you go to a meeting." She looked at the man's dark eyes who smiled at her in return. Two dimples appeared on his face.
"May I ask if you're not busy tonight? I want to show you my gratitude, a dinner perhaps?"

"I like that especially if Sandy is going to be with us but I have plans for tonight."

"How about tomorrow?"

"She's occupied." Lois stared at Clark. She didn't realize that Clark is already beside her. he looked so serious.

"Clark this is Marlon, Sandy's uncle and Marlon this is Clark my h….."

"Her husband." The two men shook hands but Clark shook Marlon's hand too tightly. Lois nudged Clark and smiled apologetically at Marlon.

"Sorry." Clark said.

"Glad to meet you sir." Marlon said while holding the "injured" hand.

"Ms. Lois, you're husband is as gorgeous as my Uncle. You look good together." Clark can't help but smile at the little girl. "Uncle, let's go. Don't worry someday you're going to find someone like Ms. Lois." Marlon ruffles Sandy's hair, "Forgive my niece, she's a little naughty sometimes. Thank you again for saving her." Marlon's phone started ringing. "Excuse us. Let's go Sandy."

"Thanks Ms. Lois and Mr. Clark. Bye."

"Bye Sandy."

When Marlon and Sandy are far away from them, Lois looked at Clark.

"Clark, what are you doing? He's just showing his gratitude."

"He's interested in you and I don't like him." Clark said and started walking away.

"What? Wait! You're jealous aren't you?"

Clark looked at Lois, his face unreadable. "I'm not. I'm just protecting you."

Lois stared at Clark, she started to speak when she noticed that Clark is hiding something behind his back.

"What's that?"

"What? It's nothing."

"Come on. What's that? Let me see."

"Nothing. Look, you already have a bouquet of roses."

"You and your insecurities. Let me see that."

He looked around. When he saw that no one is watching them, he super sped away. He left Lois with a confused look.

"Clark Kent!"

Lois is still pissed off on Clark for leaving her.

"He's really… hmp!" she stepped in at the room and saw the lilies in the vase. Her brows furrowed and saw a note. "Lo, have dinner with me at Lenny's Restaurant at 7 p.m. Smallville" she smiled as she smelled the lilies, her favourite flowers.
