Chapter 15

The four teenagers wake up and finish tidying up from the night before. Afterwards Clark and Pete head outside to do the morning's farm chores, while Chloe and Lois go and have showers and get changed.

Chloe – So you looked rather comfy last night?

Lois – I must admit, Clark makes a good pillow.

Chloe – That's the second time you've called him that in les that 24 hours!

Lois – What?

Chloe – You called him Clark, rather than Smallville!

Lois – Well maybe just once every now and again.

Chloe – I'm just glad you finally stopped hiding behind the banter.

Lois – Hate to admit it Cuz, but me too.

Chloe – Only problem you two are going to have, is keeping it from the Kents.

Lois – Yeah I Know its going to be difficult but it just makes sense for now.

With that Clark and Pete walk through the door

Pete – I think we walked in on girl time Clark.

Chloe – no you didn't, me and my favourite cousin were just catching up.

Pete – That's code for 'we were talking about you both, now don't ask questions'.

Chloe – Pete?

Pete – Ok shutting up.

Clark heads over to Lois and puts his hands on her waist from behind.

Clark – Hey you

Lois – Right back at ya.

Pete – Come on Chlo, lets leave these too it.

Chloe – Yeah I've got to go to the Torch, so I'll phone you later Lo.

Lois – Sure

Pete – Thanks for an interesting weekend, its great to be back.

Clark – Anytime Pete, good to have you back as well, speak to you later.

With that Chloe and Pete leave in their separate cars, leaving Clark and Lois alone in the Kents kitchen.

Clark – well Miss Lane, I' going to go and get changed ….

Lois grabs Clark's hand and reaches up to kiss him.

…. Ok maybe not.

Lois – Thought that might change your mind. I've been waiting to do that all morning.

Clark – Me too (moves in for another kiss)………Ok I really need a shower, don't go anywhere.

Lois – I wont.

Clark heads upstairs and Lois stands in the kitchen

Lois (to herself) – its weird, but I'm happier that I've been in ages.

Clark finishes upstairs and changes into the pair of jeans and white t-shirt. When he comes downstairs, he finds Lois on the sofa. Sneaking up behind her, he puts his hands over her eyes.

Clark – Guess who?

Lois – Pete?

Clark – Guess again

Lois – Orland Bloom?

Clark – Nope

Lois – Well it must be my favourite Farm boy.

Clark – Got it in one (walks round the front of the sofa and sits down next to her)

So how are we going to play this?

Lois – You mean when your parents get back?

Clark – Yeah.

Lois – They've been great to me, since I arrived, letting me stay, etc, but ….

Clark – I know …….

Lois – Maybe we should just carry on arguing, the usual?

Clark – Yeah, but that's going to be so difficult now.

Lois (smiling) – Tell me about it. (Lois moves in for a kiss) and we can't do that either.

Clark looks disappointed

Well maybe if we sneak around.

With that Clark and Lois hear a truck outside. It's Martha and Jonathan.

Clark – Well here we go (and they head outside to greet the Kents).
