Chapter 10: Honeymooners Part 3

At the veranda of their hotel suite…

"Hey Smallville! I thought you fly around. What are you doing?"

He turned to face 'his wife'. He always had these goose bumps every time he hears her voice but he opted not to tell her so. But tonight maybe, he will get the chance to let her know about how he really feels for her. He spread a wide smile across his face.

"Acoustic guitar. I'm trying to tune it up because it is too old and I did not get the chance to use it for a long time ago."

"Ah, okay. Since when and where did you learn doing stuff like that?" She is too stunned that a certain Clark Kent knew how to play guitar.

"In Smallville, during my idle times." Clark shrugged a little.

Lois sat on the chair across him while hiding a naughty smile on her face. "I thought looking on the telescope is one of your favorite pastimes."

"It's not. I'll play this guitar for you, if you only want me to." His smile never faded and it is contagious.

"Really? That's new. Maybe I need to record your performance tonight." She opened her cell phone while Clark starts to play with the guitar strings. Lois saw another side of him, which she never thought he had. She smiled while hearing the soothing voice of her best friend.

Yeah, Oh
I stare at your face
Into your eyes
Outside there's so much passing us by
All of the sounds
All of the sights
Over the earth and under the sky
Too much cold and too much rain
Too much heartache to explain

Who needs the world when I've got you
Switch off the sun the stars and the moon
I've all I need inside of this room
Who needs the world when I've got you

She stared at him. There's something in his eyes that's so different tonight. The way he looked at her made her heart and stomach flutter. 'Is this his way of telling me how he feels about me? Or I'm just reading it the wrong way?' Lois asked herself.

Oh no no
I walk on the street
Talk in the dark
I see peoples dreams just falling apart
I open my arms
Tried to be true
Seems like my only truth is you
Am I wrong
Or am I right
All I want is you tonight

'Come on Lois, why are you so quiet? Say something. Anything. Why on Earth I'm so speechless tonight?' Lois on her mind.

Who needs the world when I've got you
Switch off the sun the stars and the moon
I've all I need inside of this room
Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the stars so bright and the grass so green and the morning light
Who needs the wind to blow and the tide to rise
Who needs it...I don't know
I don't know
Yeah

She adjusted her cam phone. She can't help but smile because his baby blues turned into the lightest shade he had. That color she didn't notice even before.

Who needs the world when I've got you
Switch off the sun the stars and the moon
I've all I need inside of this room
Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the world when I've got you
Switch off the sun the stars and the moon
I've all I need inside of this room
Who needs the world when I've got you
Who needs the world when I've got you

She clapped her hands when Clark finished the song. "It's good to know that the guitar still on its good condition. It blended with your voice. I mean, it's better to hear the guitar without your voice." She sarcastically smiled at Clark.

Clark's face fell once he heard Lois comment. Lois observed the change of his expression that something says, 'that's not the reaction I expected from you.' She looked at the other way tearing herself from his gaze. 'Lane don't ruin this moment.' She took back what she had said, "Just kidding. I love the song and I like your voice. I never expected that you had these talents."

"Did I hear it right? You just gave me a compliment. That's new."

Lois chuckled, then she continued. "It's better to write it on your diary farm boy, because you won't hear the same words from me. That's once in a lifetime in the history of mankind."

He smirked, then he harshly took her right hand but he gently squeezed it. He placed his blue eyes on her hazels. Another awkward situation passed between them. Clark, leaned in for a kiss when a sudden call disturbed them. He stopped and said, "Answer your phone Lois, I think it's urgent."

"Hello chief."

On the other line Perry answered, "Lois can you contact Superman?"

"I think so. Why? Is there any problem?"

"NASA called. The truth is, it's a secret call. They need to talk to Superman."

Lois shifted her gaze to her 'spouse', which Clark returned with a nod confirming he heard what Perry said through his super hearing.

"Sorry to disturb you. Give my regards to Clark."

"It's okay chief, we'll be back to Metropolis tomorrow."

Perry cut the lines.

"NASA? This is bigger than what we think." Clark said.

"I think so. So we really need to sleep early tonight."

"If you say so, good night Lo."

"Night Smallville."

(scene break)

"Good morning chief!!!" They said in unison.

"Lois. Clark. How's the honeymoon? There are three days left with your vacation." The old White replied.

"Yes. But you called last night that's why we decided to get back today. News is still news. We can help NASA to contact Superman." Clark commented.

"Scoops, News. We can still file another vacation leave after this." Lois added from her husband's statement.

"Then go on. We need to get the news ahead of the others."

When they left Perry's office, she saw the worry on Clark's face. She tried her best to console him.

"Smallville, it's okay. I'll meet you at NASA."

"I don't know Lois, but I feel that something will happen."

She tiptoed to reach his lips. They sense the electric waves once their lips met. She pulled out before they deepened their kiss.

"For good luck Smallville."

"Thanks Metropolis."
