FINALLY, another update!! I think I'm happier to have this updated than you guys are! lol
This update just got some thins covered, there will be more soon!
Clark woke up around four in the morning; he was sleeping on Lois's couch, while Jimmy and Chloe where on the other one. He figured sense he was up now he might as well leave; he was only able to get two hours of sleep anyways. Lying on Lois's couch, where he could practically smell her essence and the vanilla shampoo she used in her hair; and then listen to her heartbeat all night, didn't make it any easier on him; and if it wasn't listening to her heartbeat that kept him up all night, it was having a million questions going through his head. Why did Lois kiss him? Was that the reason why she was acting strange all day? Did she mean to kiss him? What was going through her head right now? Then the question he was asking himself continuously all night long; why did he like it so much? He really liked it...
Groaning, Clark rolled off the couch and mentally told his conscious to stop asking questions. He would talk to Lois later and get some answers; he'd ask her all the questions that were going through his head.
Grabbing his sneakers he put them on and folded the blanket, tidying up where he slept last night and then walked to the door. Turning around one last time to inspect the apartment, he listened in on Lois's heart. She was fast asleep, her heart-beat was a steady lull...at least someone was getting a good night's sleep.
He opened the door, stepped outside, shut the door and then he was gone.
She opened her eyes and got out of bed, finally accepting the inevitable: Lois wasn't getting anymore sleep. It was five in the morning and she had woken up dozens of times over the night, denying herself the sleep she desperately needed. She tried to sleep, she really did; but knowing Clark was in the next room was making it so much harder.
While walking to the bathroom and turning the shower on, Lois reflected on the night before. Her and Clark had kissed...and did a lot more. But first, she had to accept the fact the she kissed Clark Kent. She couldn't blame it on him this time, she made the first move, and she had to be the one to explain everything to him; why she kissed him and what was going on with her lately.
On her way to the bathroom, she noticed Clark wasn't on the couch. 'He probably left early this morning', she thought. Stripping her clothes off, Lois stepped into the shower and let the hot water wash away all her thoughts.
Yawning, Chloe opened her eyes and began to think of the night before. She definitively fell
asleep during the movie. As much as she did want another movie night with her cousin, last night was more about getting Lois to speak to Clark. She knew Jimmy was right when he told her intervening was not a good idea. Especially when it came to Lois; she liked to deal with her problems herself, but Chloe couldn't help but feel she was doing Lois a favor by inviting Clark, she'd thank her later; Chloe was sure of it.
Moving her eyes to the couch, Chloe noticed Clark wasn't there. Did he leave last night or this morning? Looking near the coffee table, Chloe noticed it was clean. When does that ever happen here?
Out of the blue, Chloe noticed while she was looking at everything, she was also moving; up and down. She then smiled, and hugged herself to Jimmy: the body pillow.
The sudden hug awoke Jimmy from his slumber. Blinking a couple of times and getting his bearings he looked down at his chest and noticed a certain blonde.
He smiled and leaned in to kiss the top if her head, "Good morning"
Chloe took a deep breath and let it out slowly and then stretched her body. Yawning she brought her head up and smiled at him, "morning", she said cheekily.
Laughing, Jimmy asked, "You sound happy this morning, what's all that about?"
"Nothing, it's just one of those mornings when you wake up, and your happy. I feel like it's going to be a good day. Do you remember Clark leaving last night? He's not here."
Thinking for a second Jimmy answered her, "I got up around 12:00 to go to the bathroom and Clark was in the kitchen getting a mid-night snack, I don't remember him leaving though. He seemed a bit out of it so I think he probably stayed the night but left this morning, why?"
Stretching again, Chloe answered, "oh, no reason. I just don't remember much from last night, I fell asleep like 20 minutes into the movie." Getting up, Chloe made her way to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. Looking at the clock she noticed it was seven o'clock. "Oh crap, we've got to get going, we're going to be late for work."
Getting up, Jimmy made his way to the bathroom and started washing up. "You should wake Lois up too; she's probably got to get to work too."
Putting the glass in the sink, Chloe made her way to Lois's room. "Your right, she'll never get up by her...self" Coming out of Lois room, Chloe made her way to the bathroom where Jimmy stood and explained, "Hey, she's not even in there."
Jimmy frowned, "what? No way, Lois wouldn't be up earlier than this."
"Jimmy, I'm telling you, she's gone. Do you think she left this morning with Clark or something?"
Jimmy nodded, "I'm sure that's it. Lois probably talked to him last night and found level ground; looks like your plan worked."
Chloe smiled, feeling a little proud of herself, "Yeah, it did didn't it? I guess the next time Lois see's me, she won't be out to get me; she'll be hugging me instead." Chloe stood there for a few moments thinking how perfectly her plan had gone, devouring herself in pride, then got back to getting ready for work.
Little did Chloe know..."Arrggh, I swear to God when I get my hands on her..." Lois was sweating profusely. She had been running for the past 2 hours. When she woke up that morning she rushed to take a shower, grabbed her sports bra, shorts and I-POD and ran out the door. When big things happen in her life, she always ran; running was something she could turn to all the time. This was a reason why she loved Smallville so much (not that she'd ever tell anyone this)
She had stopped a few times over the course of two hours to take a breath. One reason she was running, was so when she went to see Chloe she wouldn't tackle her right then and there. Running also helped her think of what happen last night; what happen with Clark.
'Oh God...Clark' she thought. What was she going to tell him? How was she going to look at him? How was he going to look at her?
Finally accepting the inevitable, Lois made her way to her apartment. When she stepped through the door and looked around, she noticed Chloe and Jimmy were gone. Mentally remembering they had work today, she made her way to the bathroom to take her second shower of the day. When she was done, she'd make her way to the Daily Planet to talk with Chloe, and hopefully by that time, the shower would've cooled her down.
'CRACK!'...'CRACK!'...'CRACK!'...Clark had been chopping wood, milking the cows, mending fences, and more, sense early this morning. He also cleaned the whole house and the barn, including his loft. That was the only thing he could think of doing when he got up this morning. He had to keep active and do things or else he would start thinking of Lois.
Lois...Lois her perfectly shaped lips, and her eyes that drown him and made him forget about everything, Lois and those amazingly shaped legs that had wrapped around him the night before. He'd just start to think of her name and then all the images from last night would travel
though his mind.
He had to talk to her; even though she couldn't give him an explanation last night, he had to get one from her today. He wanted to know why she'd kissed him; he needed to know; because when she did, when she kissed him, she stirred something deep inside of him that he never knew was there. She awakened something inside of him he never knew was asleep. When they kissed, they connected, they molded together. He never felt like that, not even with Lana.
'Whoa, Lana...' He hadn't even thought about her, in like...he couldn't even remember. Even though he was thinking about Lana now, she was the last thing on his mind. He needed to speak to Lois, now.
He put down the ax he had been chopping wood with and super sped to her apartment over at the Talon. Knocking on the door, he waited...and waited. She wasn't coming to let him in; so he looked through the door and into the apartment; she wasn't there.
'Where would she be?' thought Clark. Then he smiled, if he knew Lois, which he knew he did, she'd be freaking out right now. After freaking out she'd want to talk to someone, usually Chloe.
"Daily Planet, here I come" and then he was gone.
"Look, I know you may think I'm being pushy but what do you think reporters are supposed to be like? Listen; if it's not me, it's going to be someone else, just give me 20 minutes of your time, you won't regret it, I promise." She paused and listened, "Thank you! I'll see you tomorrow! Bye!" Chloe slammed down the phone in triumph. One thing she liked about being a reporter was being a hard ass. She liked-
"Chloe!"
Chloe spun around in her chair to see Clark coming towards her. He looked a little disheveled which means he probably super sped here.
Chloe smiled, "Hey Clark! What brings you here? You left pretty early this morni-"
"Is Lois here?" he asked.
"Geez Clark, hi to you too." She said grimly shuffling papers on her desk.
"Chloe, is she here?"
Chloe took a deep breath, "No Clark, she's not here." Seeing the look of desperation she quickly added "But I can find out for you, just give me a second; and can you slip this in my bosses mailbox?" She pointed around the corner. "It's right over there around the corner"
Clark took a deep breath and nodded, "yeah sure"
As Clark took the sheet of paper from Chloe's hand and walked away she quickly picked up her cell and dialed Lois's number.
Chloe started tapping her pencil out of impatience, "come on Lois pick up your cell, come on-"
"Chloe!"
Chloe's head shot up as Lois' voice caught her attention. "Oh God, Lois there you are, I just tried calling you; Cla-"
"Stop!"
Chloe's eyebrows shot up, and she began to look over Lois.
'Hmm' Chloe thought, 'She seems a little disheveled too, and why is she looking at me like that? Am I in trouble? What did I…' Chloe suddenly realized… 'oh crap, maybe last night didn't go as planned; I better do something fast, think of something, anything… great Chloe, you're a reporter, your suppose to be fast on your feet and the one time you need something to say, your drawing blanks.'
"Earth to Chloe!" Lois was waving a hand in front of Chloe's as she seemed to finally come back to the world and look at her cousin.
Chloe looked over Lois's shoulder and spotted Clark making his way back, shrugging her shoulders meekly she replied, "Sorry?"
"For what? You can't just stand there and apologi-"
"-Lois?!"
Clark has just come around the corner to find Lois and Chloe and what seemed like a heated conversation on Lois's part. Upon announcing his presence Lois snapped her heads in his direction, "Hey Lois"
Lois guaranteed five minutes went by before she stated the obvious, "Clark."
Chloe stood there evaluating both of her friends. Both were staring at each other and both were completely silent and immobile. She looked from Lois to Clark, back to Lois and back to Clark.
'What are they just going to stand there all day and stare at each other, what the hell is going on?' Chloe thought
"So are you guy's going to speak more or kiss each other?" Chloe stated, laughing at her own joke.
Both Lois and Clark snapped their heads towards her. Chloe silenced her chuckle immediately. "Umm, that was a joke…just a joke." They were still staring at her with faces that told
her they didn't find her the least bit amusing. "As in ha ha, funny..." Still, they were staring. Chloe raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, and grabbed her purse moving around her desk. 'This is too much drama for me…' Chloe thought 'I gotta get the hell outta here before shit hits the fan' On that note, Chloe took an effort to leave, "Okay never mind, I'm going to go grab a bite to eat, I'll just leave you two alone, to sort out your differences"
Lois didn't want Chloe to go. If she did, that would leave her alone with Clark and she couldn't do that yet, she needed to talk with Chloe about it first, she wasn't being a coward; she wasn't.
"No Chloe, I need to talk to you." Lois said; she gave Chloe a pleading look. "Please"
"Lois" Clark said, letting her know he still had something to say. "We need to talk" He saw Lois attempt to say something but he moved towards her and cut her off. "I know, not now. I know you need to talk to Chloe first, but after that, come find me; I'll be at the farm waiting for you." As he said this he walked closer to Lois with every word. He brought his hand up fighting not to touch her face, and then let it drop; he turned and walked away leaving the two cousins staring at him as he left.
Lois stood there and started counting down, "Five...four...three...two...on- What the hell was that!?" Lois meekly turned around to Chloe.
Chloe stood impatiently waiting for an answer. She was staring at Lois with curious eyes; the only thing she hadn't reverted too was tapping her shoe.
"Well? Are you going to start talking or do I have to call Clark back? What the hell was that?"
Lois moved towards Chloe and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards an empty room. Closing the door behind her she told Chloe, "That's why I came to you! Why do you think I showed up here about two seconds ago looking like a mad dog?"
Chloe shook her hands impatiently, "Okay, okay! We're alone now and I'm all ears, nothing will interrupt us." She walked over to the door and locked it then closed the blinds. "So tell me, what's going on?"
Lois took a deep breath... She was going to tell Chloe, everything. Well not everything but everything she needed to know to give her some light and give her some idea of what she was going to do. She needed advice, advice only Chloe could give. "Okay, well I...Um, it all...okay, you see-"
"Lois! You're killing me here."
"Okay okay! It all started last night." She took a breath. "You and Jimmy fell asleep" she said glaring at Chloe, "Thanks for that by the way" Chloe just smiled and nodded her head once "After you guys fell asleep...well, something kinda happen...between me and Clark-"
"Well yeah I could see-"
"Intimately"
Chloe's eyes went wide and she was obviously shocked. "Wh- wha- what?! I assumed when you said something it was like an argument, I'd expect that between the two of you." Lois gave Chloe a look saying 'yeah so would I' "So what did you guys do? I want details not the cliff notes version!" She paused obviously thinking "You guys kissed didn't you?"
Chloe looked over at Lois, she wasn't denying it. "Ah, ha! I knew you guys kissed! Oh my God, this is, wow...I don't even know where to start!"
Finally able to butt in, Lois took her turn, "We did a little more than kiss cuz"
If it were even possible, Chloe's eyes got wider, "WHAT!? Holy- Did you guys have sex?!"
This time Lois's eyes got wide and she playfully hit Chloe on the shoulder, "No, of course not…" Chloe laughed and nodded her head like she knew it was a long shot. Then Lois froze. "Well, actually, we probably would've if Jimmy hadn't interrupted us."
Eye's wide, Chloe's mouth dropped, "What!? Jimmy saw you! He never said that this morning! Why that little-"
Lois grabbed Chloe by the back of her shirt as she attempted to fly out the door, and was most likely going after Jimmy to give him hell.
"Whoa girly, get the heck back in here!" She maneuvered Chloe back towards her so she could explain, "Jimmy didn't see us, he woke up and went to the bathroom, and I'm assuming he was half asleep at the time because he didn't see me and Clark. We didn't see him get up either seeing as we were a little bit preoccupied." Chloe gave her the look saying 'yeah about that'…Lois rushed on to explain, "Anyways, we heard the toilet flush and we both froze, and came back to reality; we stopped after that and I got to my room before Jimmy opened the door." Lois took a deep breath preparing to give Chloe her ultimatum, "So therefore, Clark and me sort of left on an awkward note which is why I'm here with you about to go crazy, because I need some very good advice on what to do, and even though I'm blistering mad at you for inviting Clark last night and it's all your fault everything happen, (Chloe frowned at this) I'm willing to forgive you this one time if you can PLEASE, give me some sanity to all this!"
Chloe stared at Lois for a few seconds before breaking out in a grin and chuckling, "Wow, Lois…your life could be a TV show…"
Ummmmmmmmmmm, reviews?
