OCTOBER
Romeo and Juliet on Halloween...
Lois plops down on the couch. "We were lucky to get out of that town alive," putting her feet up on the coffee table. "They were certifiably nuts," looking up at her boyfriend.
"They were brainwashed, Lois," he reminds her as he follows her into the living room.
"I know that," a slight frown on her face. "And not only that, we totally missed the Halloween party at the Planet."
"It's not too late to go?" quirking his eyebrow.
"Nah," shaking her head. "I just don't feel like dressing up like Juliet all of a sudden," looking up at him.
"That's a shame because I was going to dress up as Romeo and it was going to be your only chance to see me wearing tights," winking at her.
"I'm sure I'll see you in tights soon enough," she replies with a smirk. "What about that costume your mother made for you?"
"Would you believe that Jor-El is holding it hostage at the Fortress?" a scowl on his face.
"I believe it from what you've already told me about him," she replies.
"Yep," shrugging his shoulders. He sits down next to her and happens to notice her feet resting on the coffee table. "You know, my mother would scold you if she saw you feet resting on her nice coffee table," gently admonishing her while slipping a magazine under her feet.
She eyes him curiously, then grabs him by his shirt collar. "If you even think about telling your Mom, I promise I will make good on my threat to out your Elmer Fudd nightlight."
He just rolls his eyes. "Go ahead," he replies with a smirk.
"You're just too smug for your own good," letting go of him and getting up.
"Where are you going?" he asks; also getting up as she walks toward the kitchen door.
She pauses in the doorway and turns back around to look at him. "I'm going to my car to get my laptop so that I could start working on the story," she replies.
"You are coming back, aren't you?" a slightly worried expression on his face.
"Of course I am silly," winking at him, then turning around and going outside.
A minute later...
Lois comes back into the house and looks around for Clark, but he's nowhere in sight. She sits down at the kitchen table and is about to open her lap top when she notices a note laying on the table. She picks it up and begins to read it:
Lois,
Before you start on your story, could you please come upstairs for a minute?
Clark
I wonder what he wants? leaving the note on the table and promptly climbing the stairs. She opens the bedroom door. "What do you want, Small-" her jaw dropping in astonishment.
He walks toward her and stops a few feet in front of her. "I know it's corny and cliché," looking around at the all the lit candles placed around the room.
"It's not," her voice choked with emotion. "I think it's...perfect," biting her lower lip.
He smiles back at her. "I know you won't remember this because of that love potion you were under because of that lipstick," slowly unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off. "I told you that night that it was time for you to see the real Clark Kent," first unbuckling his belt, then pulling down his pants.
She gulps thickly as he steps out of his boxers and walks up to her in all his naked glory. He takes her hand and placing it on his chest, then cupping her face with his hands and kissing her with a passion.
His lips pull away after a minute and he slowly undresses her, then lifts her up into his arms and lays her down gently against the pillows on the turned down bed. He hovers above her; propping himself up on his arms. "For a long time I was afraid of intimacy because I thought I would lose control and hurt the woman I love," caressing her cheek with his finger.
She looks up at him with such love in her eyes. "So what changed your mind?"
"You did," smiling down at her. "Because of you, I'm no longer afraid because I know I won't hurt you. I want to lose control with you."
She smiles at him through the tears that roll down her cheek. "I love you, Clark Kent."
"I love you, Lois Lane."
