Lois and Clark came back to the other four, both with heads hanging down in embarrassment.

Chloe just smirked, "So what have you two been up to."

"Shut up Chloe." was all Lois could say. She didn't mean to be rude to Chloe but at this point Lois was frustrated because she wanted to kiss Clark but was interrupted and even more frustrated with all the people still talking about them like they weren't even there.

'He wanted to kiss me back, I could tell. Can I just say how much I hate immature morons who gawk and make remarks about things that aren't even any of their business.' Lois ranted in her head.

'We were so close. Not even a millimeter apart and then some moron had to ruin that. I wonder if my parents would care if I used my powers on him. That was stupid. Of course they would, but then I could just explain it was for a good reason.' Clark was getting more and more irritated as he kept thinking about everything that had just happened, and more and more frustrated about what almost happened.

"Lois you're goanna have to get a ride from Clark" Chloe shouted to her cousin's retreating figure.

Lois stopped dead in her tracks and quickly turned around. "What, why?" She asked. In a tone that clearly said she was shocked and not really wanting to go with Clark. Not that she would have minded at any other time but right now she was way to nervous to be alone with him.

"You and Clark live together." Chloe said looking like she almost wanted to add 'duh!' to her answer.

"Oh Ok but what about Lana." Lois asked as she was really thinking….'She better not come with us!

"I'm getting a ride with Chloe.'' She answered cheerily then added. "Well we're goanna walk Pete and Bart to their car. We'll see you guys tomorrow." And with that they left, once again leaving Lois and Clark by themselves.

AT PETE AND BART'S CAR

"Did you see that?" Lana kept repeating once they got out of Lois' and Clark's ear shot.

"Yeah Lana we saw it." Chloe face went from happy to angry as she added, "Man I'm goanna kill the idiot that ruined everything."

"Well I'm glad somebody finally let me in." Bart added sarcastically.

"Oh, sorry man." Pete started and proceeded to fill Bart in.

"Wait Mrs. Kent came up with all of this? She is probably the coolest mom ever."

"Umm . . . Chloe does Mr. Kent now about any of this?'' Pete wondered.

"I'm not sure but just in case let's not say anything to him."

WITH LOIS AND CLARK

The ride home was relatively quiet, in fact it was dead silent. They pulled in and began to walk up to the door. Lois was about to turn the door knob when Clark pulled her back.

"Lois. We need to talk."

"About what?" Lois played dumb.

"You know what." Clark said sternly.

"Fine you wanna talk. Let's do a recap then. Lana came over, asked you on a date and surprise you said yes . . ." Lois started.

"Lois." Clark tried to interrupt but failed.

"Chloe asked me to go and I went. We ran into Pete and Bart. You and Lana did your get a room dance . . ."

"Lois ……... "Clark tried again and once again failed.

''Then you and I danced. We danced through the whole song and it created a really romantic atmosphere and that was the only reason we almost . . ." And before she could finish her sentence, Clark leaned in and kissed her, hard.

When both pulled back, Lois let out a breathless, "kissed." to finish her sentence. They just stared at each other for what felt like forever until Lois spoke.

"Umm Smallville, what was that?" Lois tried to sound annoyed but it came out as anything but.

"I believe they call it a kiss, Lois." Clark grinned at her.

Lois just rolled her eyes, "smart $$, what I mean was what gave you the right to do it."

"Testing out a theory."

"Excuse me?" Lois asked in an offended tone.

"I wanted to see if it would make you shut up." Clark smiled. "Turns out," he bent down by her ear making Lois' legs turn to jelly, "It works"

When she saw how cocky his grin was, she crossed her arms and glared. "Well of course it would, you try talking with someone's tongue down your throat, it's hard. That's the only reason why I shut up. Has nothing to do with you and in fact that was the worst kiss ever." Lois tried to sound confident but sounded more like a nervous school girl talking to her crush. 'which isn't to different of a situation.' Lois added in her head.

"Oh really?" Clark smirked.

"Yeah, really." Lois added finally finding her confidence.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to make this one count."

"What . . ." was all Lois could get out before Clark's lips came down crashing on hers. At first Lois resisted but Clark was persistent, so she gave in. They got so wrapped up in each other, neither heard or saw Chloe's car, Chloe's Polaroid camera, or any of the camera flashes that followed.

TBC.
