CHAPTER 27

Four weeks later...

"Hurry up, Smallville, chop chop," clapping her hands a couple times. "The sooner we get there, the sooner I can finally get this cast off."

"I'll be right down," he calls out from upstairs. She can be so annoying at times.

She sits down on one of the kitchen chairs; laying her crutches against the edge of the table. "Come on, Smallville," she yells out again. "It takes you two seconds to get dressed," getting more and more annoyed with each passing minute.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he yells back; half-running down the stairs while putting his jacket on.

I can't resist it. "If you're a good boy, I'll make you cum later," winking at him.

He stops in his tracks at her comment; a blush beginning to form on his face. Did she just say what I thought she said?

"You're so cute when you blush, Smallville," getting up from her chair and hopping over to him; wrapping her arms around him and laying a soft kiss on his lips. "It's so sexy," she murmurs; her lips moving behind his ear.

"I...um..." stammering a little as her lips move down his neck. His eyes close; sighing a little when her hands move down to caress his backside. "Mmm," he sighs again. Oh yeah, she knows that gets me going.

Then she stops what she's doing; hopping back to the kitchen table and getting her crutches.

She turns around and sees the perplexed expression on his face. "Preview of tonight's coming attractions - so to speak," winking again at him.

She is such a tease; frowning a little. Well I can give it back as good as she gives it. I just have to wait for the right opportunity. She won't know what hit her; a smile beginning to form on his face.

She looks curiously at him. "What's with the smile Smallville?"

"Oh...nothing," he says coyly. "You make me smile," he replies; walking over to the kitchen door and holding it open for her.

Her eyes narrow for a moment. I make him smile? Now I know he's up to something. But what? "That's sweet of you to say," making her way over to the door.

"You want me to carry you to the truck?" a twinkle in his eyes.

"I can manage just fine," she says with a trace of annoyance in her voice; as she slowly makes her way down the stairs.

He just shrugs; walking over to the truck and opening the door for her. Once she finally arrives, he lifts her up; setting her down on the seat. He closes the door and makes his way around the truck; sliding into the driver's seat and closing his door.

"Don't forget your seatbelt," he quips; saying it just to annoy her.

She frowns at him as she fastens it; folding her arms across her chest. He starts the engine, then pulls out of the driveway and onto the road. As the truck takes off down the road, Lois turns on the radio; hoping to find something decent to listen to...

Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo...

"Ugh," she groans. "I can't STAND that song," changing the station...

When an irresistible force such as you, meets an old immovable object like me, you can bet as sure as you live, something gotta give, something gotta give, something gotta give...

"I liked that one," he says; frowning as she switches the station yet again...

I'd like to run away from you, but if I were to leave you I would die, I'd like to break the chains you put around me, and yet I'll never try...

"You can't exactly run away from me now can you," a small smirk on his face.

She turns her head and glares at him as the song continues...

No matter what you do you drive me crazy, I'd rather be alone, but then I know my life would be so empty as soon as you are gone...

"Well you drive me crazy," she retorts; her hand reaching towards the tuning button again.

Impossible to live with you, but I could never live without you, for whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you...

But his hand grabs her wrist. "Don't even THINK of switching it again," he tells her firmly; abruptly pulling over to the side of the road and turning off the engine.

You make me sad, you make me strong, you make me mad, you make me long for you / you make me long for you, you make me live, you make me die, you make me laugh, you make me cry for you / you make me cry for you...

"Why did you pull over?" she asks him.

"Just listen to what they're saying - okay?" letting go of her wrist and sitting back in his seat; closing his eyes

"FINE," sitting back in her seat and folding her arms against her chest again. But then she looks over at him and sees the wistful expression on his face. Then she begins to really listen to the song and not just hear it...

I hate you, then I love you, then I love you, then I hate you, then I love you, then I love you more, for whatever you do, I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you...

"Wow," she murmurs softly. She turns to look at Clark, then leans over to softly kiss his lips.

He opens his eyes and gazes back at her as her lips pull away. "What was that for?"

"Because I love you," she replies; one of the sweetest smiles he's ever seen on her face.

You treat me wrong, you treat me right, you let me be, you make me fight with you / I could never live without you, you make me high, you bring me down, you set me free, you hold me bound to you...

He smiles right back at her and cups her face in his hands; leaning forward to kiss her.

I hate you, then I love you, then I love you, then I hate you, then I love you, then I love you more, for whatever you do, I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you...

"I love you too," he whispers after he pulls his lips away from hers. Then he starts the engine again; pulling back onto the road. "Let's get rid of that cast now shall we?" turning his head briefly to wink at her.

"You bet," winking back at him as they take off down the road; his hand holding hers...

Two hours later...

"It's such a relief to finally get that damn thing off," she says; slowly walking up the porch stairs.

"Don't forget your cane," holding it out to her as she reaches the top step.

"Do I really have to use it?" frowning a little.

"You heard what the doctor said," he replies as she takes it from him. "The bone may be healed, but the muscles and ligaments are wound up tight right now. You don't want to overdo it right now." Then he adds, "At least you don't have to use crutches anymore?" holding the door open as she walks into the house.

"I know," walking into the living room and plopping down onto the couch. "But I still can't drive yet," putting the cane on the couch next to her.

She looks up at him as he comes into the living room and sits down on the other side of her. "Do I really have to do these stretching exercises?"

"You said you didn't want to go to therapy for it, so the answer to your question is 'yes' - you have to do them. I did say that I would help you with them didn't I?" looking curiously at her.

"I know you did," sighing a little as she lays back against the couch.

He gets up and kneels down in front of her; taking her hands in his. "How about I pick us up some of your favorite Chinese food and we'll curl up in front of the fire and just enjoy being with each other?" lifting her hands up to lightly kiss them.

She looks down at him and can't help smiling at him. "You know just what to do to cheer me up," she replies. "That is so annoying," she quips.

He lets go of her hands. "I won't be long," super speeding away.

She looks down at the cane. Guess I have no choice; picking up the cane and getting up. She starts to make her way to the kitchen when there's a sudden knock on the door. Who on earth could that be? walking over to the door. She opens the door and is surprised at who she sees standing there.

"Miss Lane?"

"Doctor Kent?"

Such as you.

As sure as we live.
Something's really got to give.

WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO - WHAM

Jitterbug × 4

You put the boom-boom into my heart,
You send my soul sky-high when your lovin' starts.
Jitterbug into my brain,
Goes a-bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same.

But something's bugging me,
Something ain't right;
My best friend told me
What you did last night.

Left me sleeping
In my bed.
I was dreaming
But I should've been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go,
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.
Wake me up before you go-go,
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high.
Wake me up before you go-go,
'Cause I'm not planning on goin' solo.
Wake me up before you go-go,
Take me dancing tonight…
I wanna hit that high...
Yeah, yeah.

You get the gray skies outta my way,
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day.
Turned a bright spark into a flame,
My beats-per-minute never been the same.

'Cause you're my lady,
I'm your fool.
Makes me crazy
When you act so cruel.

Come on baby,
Let's not fight.
We'll go dancing,
And everything will be alright.

Wake me up before you go-go,
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.
Wake me up before you go-go,
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high.
Wake me up before you go-go,
'Cause I'm not planning on goin' solo.
Wake me up before you go-go-ah,
Take me dancing tonight…
I wanna hit that high...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jitterbug × 2

Cuddle up baby,
Move in tight.
We'll go dancing tomorrow night.

It's cold out there
But it's warm in bed.
They'll go dancing,
We'll stay home instead.
