Chapter 12

Outside the Kent House

Clark (to himself) Ok where is she? Typical Lois, when you want to talk to here, she's nowhere to be seen.

(With that Clark notices the barn light on and heads in that direction)

In the barn, Lois is sitting on the sofa thinking.

Lois (to herself) – Why Lois? Why did you go and do that? So it was a dare, but why? Its Clark, he's stubborn, opinionated …. But at the same time he knows just how to get to me. And boy can he kiss.

With that Lois hears footsteps coming up the stairs to where she is.

Lois – Chlo, im not in the mood.

Clark – Well im not Chloe.

Lois looks round at the sound of Clark's voice.

Lois – Oh, I thought you were Chloe.

Clark – No juts me

Lois – Yea I see

(Both remain unsure on where they stand with each other)

Clark – We need to talk Lois

Lois – What?

Clark – We need to talk abut what happened in there

Lois – What's the point, its not as if it meant anything, it was a dare (trying not to let no to Clark that in fact it did mean something to her).

(With this Clark loos at Lois and vice a versa, they both now no that they need to talk)

Lois – Ok fine, we need to talk

Clark goes and sits down at the other end of the sofa to Lois

Clark – What happened in there Lois?

Lois (remaining sarcastic) – A game of truth and dare

Clark – Lois! That was not just about the game and we both know it.

Lois (slightly shocked at Clark's reaction) – Maybe, maybe not.

Clark – Will you just stop with the sarcasm and banter, so we can sort this out please?

Lois- There's nothing that needs sorting out. It was a dare and that's it.

Lois gets up and begins to move towards the stairs. With that Clark gets up, grabs hold of Lois' arm, and turns her towards him. They are facing each other and Clark moves his had not her cheek and slowly bends in to kiss her. Unlike before, Lois responds immediately and the kiss becomes more intense.

After a couple of minutes, Clark breaks off the kiss.

Clark – So only a dare right?

Lois (still unsure) – Yeah

Clark – Lois?

Lois – Ok maybe not a dare, but I have no idea how I got to this point and began to feel what im feeling now.

Clark knows what she means.

One minute we are sparing with each other in our usual way and the next thing I know, things have changed

Clark – Same for me too.

Lois – You mean …..

Clark – Yeah, I've been thinking and feeling the same thing lately as well.

Lois- How long?

Clark – Long enough, you?

Lois – Yeah a while now, but it's gotten more confusing over the last week or so.

Clark nods in agreement.

Clark – So where from we go from here? (he moves over to the barn window and looks out over the farm)

Lois follows him, until she's right next to him. As Clark initiated the last kiss, she decides its time for her to initiate this one.

Clark's facial expression changes from a confused one to one of happy.

Lois- Well we could give 'us' ago.

Clark (smiling) – Defiantly a plan im interested in

Lois – Good, now come back here

Clark obliges and they kiss again, tis time both are relieved that they feel the same way.
