Chapter 2: The Slip
"Anyway," Clark changing the subject,"Is my mom here tonight," Chloe words about him and Lois swirling in his head.
"No, she went home just 20 minutes ago." Lois dwindling in her sarcasm, afraid to set off "tell-all" Chloe.
Chloe couldn't help but laugh to herself seeing Lois shut up into a morbid, soundless, sarcastic state before her.
Clark and Lois stared at her, puzzlement portrayed apon their faces, starting to believe Chloe had lost it
"What is with you tonight," Lois first speaking up.What is so funny? Did you drink the coffee, I think it might be spiked." Lois looking at her more confused then before.
"Why Lois, I never seen this side of you... so uncharismatic, so quite a few seconds ago. Did I hit a nerve." Chloe saying in her most innocent voice and expression, laughing all the while inside.
Lois places her right hand on her hip, glaring at Chloe."No, but I'm about to hit something."
Clark smiles at their sibling rivalry, knowing them two are close as real sisters,"Why don't you guys let me help clean up The Talon?"
"Why, how gentlemanly of you, Smallville," Lois back into her rambunctious mood,"Then maybe later you can stand by the doors, opening them for every girl that walks out." Not caring what Chloe thought or would say. No way, was she even close about Smallville.
Clark just rolled his eyes turning around to wards the tables to clear them of cups left by those who were already gone. When turning around he runs into a waitress, returning two wrong orders of ice coffees. The tray tips, crashing into Clark's chest, the two ice coffees spilling down his shirt, splashing all over the floor.
"Oh my God, I am so sorry. I just was returning these orders, they wanted cappuccinos." the waitress blared out from embarrassment.
"It's alright May, we'll clean it up," Chloe handing her the two cups of cappuccinos.
"Goodness Smallville, you're suppose to be cleaning the messes, not making them." Lois smirked,"I'll go grab the mop."
Luckily Clark grabbed hold of the tray and cups before they went crashing to the floor, but not so in away that didn't drenched his shirt.
Lois returned mop in hand to a bare chested Clark Kent, just tanking of his wet white T-shirt that was under his flannel, when she arrived.
Lois stood there biting her bottom lip at the sight of Clark's riped naked top, bulging pecks. Lois eyes going down falling to his abdomen, etching into her mind the ripples of his pack, the smoothness of his tanned skin.
A sight she hadn't seen last since that shower incident and oh, yeah, the first time she laid eyes on him, in the cornfield. Where then she got to see the whole package. A grin slowly spreads across her face thinking about that night. How lucky was she to find a completely hot naked guy in the field with an absolute great bod...Stop! realizing who she was talking about.
Once again Lois caught Chloe's eyes starring at her, as she was thinking about farm boy, Chloe grinning catching her again.
"So," Chloe grinned,"Seeing anything you like." Chloe trying to keep from laughing.
"That's your world Clo, not mines" Lois sneered, walking pass Chloe, referring to the time Chloe had a crush on Clark, but not bothering her at all since it was along time ago and she was way over it. Ever since she fell in love with Brian Shaw.
Lois walks around to the front of the counter where Clark stands, drying off his chest with some napkins, about to hand him the mop.
"Smallville, please put a shirt back on you're..." words she didn't get to finish as her mind was still admiring his muscular chest and not paying attention to where she stepped. Her foot came down on an ice cube making her slid on the coffee all under her feet. Lois grabs Clark's arms for support but her boots continues to slip in the coffee, pulling him down with her.
They hit the floor hard, Clark landing on top of Lois as soft as he could, being taken by surprised like that. Lois eyes were closed as her body impacted with the floor. Slowly she blanked her eyes open meeting with Clark's blue eyes starring back into hers.Clark felt her soft hands against his bare chest, so warm seeming to melt apon his skin.
He could feel as well as hear her heart racing inside her chest, pushed firmly against his. For a moment their heart beaten in the same rhythm, as if they shared but one heart between them. Lois feeling his chest and abdomen slowly pushing down against hers as he inhaled and exhaled, and hers against his. Time stood still, melting into forever, them laying there gazing off into one another's soul.
...God, she's beautiful...
...Oh my God, he's so cute...
...I can't believe what I'm feeling, and towards her of all people...
...This can't be happening, Smallville really gotten under my skin...
...This can't be right ...
...Something has to be wrong with me...
...But, she's...Lois!...
...Oh, no, he's...Clark!...
"I always knew you two would end up falling for each other," a voice saids
Clark and Lois turns their heads towards the familiar voice.
Lex standing a few feet away, the only one left in the Talon."You two sure don't wast any time."
"This is definitely not what it looks like," Clark's face turning red from embarrassment.
"Clarkie boy, do you mind getting off on me, like right now!" hating that people were watching them like this.
Clark turns his attention back to Lois,"Oh, yeah sorry Lois" Carefully coming off top of her to his feet, then bending over to give Lois a hand up.
Lois pushing his hand away, too prideful to take help. Slowly she rises up on her butt. Finally feeling the pain shoot through her throbbing back, not noticing it before while off somewheres deep in Clark's blue eyes. Lois winces and groans softly trying to get to her feet. Clark and Lex gently grabs one of her arms helping her up. While the pain in Lois back strikes through even worser.
Chloe runs to her side, still being held up by Clark and Lex feeling as she can't stand without support."Oh my God, Lois are you alright," very concerned seeing the winces of pain on Lois face, not revealing how worser the pain really is.
"Thanks to Paul Bunion here, my back..." wincing as another spasm of pain flexed through her back, stopping her from finishing her words,"I really need to sit down, my back is killing me."
Chloe quickly grabs a chair, while Clark and Lex help her to sit. Her body shaking slightly as she strains through the pain to sit down on the chair.
"Lois, maybe we should take you to the hospital," Clark sounding very concerned,"You might have a fracture in your spine." Clark pulling on a clean white T-shirt from the Talon's Lost and Found box.
Chloe looked at Clark, worried, hoping it wasn't that serious, and thinking maybe they should take her to the hospital.
"I don't need a hospital, Smallville. I don't have a fracture, it's just sprained. I'll be fine, I just need to sit here and rest for a moment." eyes squinting from the pain.
"Lois, you can't know that for sure,"Clark persistent to get her checked out by a doctor.
"It's just a sprang, nothing a few aspirins and a good nights sleep can't fix. I know my body well enough to know what I need. So would you please stop fussing over me, Smallville." still wincing from the pulsing pain.
"Tough as nails, must be in you family's female blood line." Lex complimented.
Lois glares at Lex and his pathetic excuse for a grin,"So, Lex what brings you to the Talon Tonight." A question that was on everyone's mind, but no one hada chance to ask, except Lois.
"Ah, yes before it slips my mind again," Lex grinning to the humor of what just happen, and opening the left side of his suit up. Reaching inside pulling out some envelopes,"I've come to personally invite you to an All Hallows Eve party I'm throwing next Friday night," handing each of them a fancy envelope, each with their names printed on front in gold lettering.
"You're throwing a Halloween party, Lex." Chloe a little curious, eying the envelope.
"An All Hallows Eve Event..., Well more of a Charitable event, raising money for the Hurricane victims down south." Lex checking his watch,"I've had a privilege of booking the band "Green Day", it took some time but I got them to finally agree to play at the event. I hope you can sincerely make it."
"Sounds like fun," Clark not too sure about going, as he looked at Lois and Chloe's reactions. Lois had a whatever expression on her face. Chloe on the other hand looked pretty excited.
"Oh, by the way, the invitations allows for you to bring one accompanying guest. Don't worry Clark, I already sent invitations to you parents." With that he left out of The Talon.
"That guy really creeps me out," Lois the pain from her back subsiding as long as she didn't move much.
"I don't know, it sounds pretty wild," Chloe grinning in anticipation.
"The invitations saids, to wear customers. Formal Renaissance theme and wear a mask for added mystery." Clark studying the card
"So he wants us girls to wear those big puffy gowns and the men dress in those fancy old English suits," Lois grumbles,"It's a wonder he didn't ask us to wear those powdered wigs."
"Come on you guys, it sounds pretty fun. The mystery and creepiness of Halloween. Dressing up the exoticness, that feeling of being a kid again. Trick-or-Treating, getting scared to death out of our wits as kids, You can't possibly turn down a chance to feel that again. And come on "Green Day " is going to perform. Seems like a pretty hot party already. Besides it for a good cause." Chloe running out of breath, talking so fast in her usually excited way.
"Chloe, Lex Luther is throwing this party how wild do you expect it to be." Lois smirked.
"Well at least we could attend to help raise money for the charity. It's better then what we been doing for the last few years, renting horror movies and watching them till we pass out." Chloe adds.
"Hey, I enjoy doing that, it's Halloween we're young adults. Trick-or-Treat is a bit out of our league by now you think." Lois beamed.
"Lois you hate horror films, you just like jumping onto Clark every chance you get when a "scary part" comes" Chloe grinning widely.
Lois glare at her, cheeks flustering. Clark just smiled at them both, they could act so childish. He knew Lois didn't think of him in any manner like that or so he thought.
"I'm not so sure about going, but I have a week to make up my mind," Clark folding his invitation, stuffing it in his back pants pocket.
"Please, I just hope my back is still hurting by then. At least I'll have a good excuse why I can't go." Lois rolling her eyes.
Clark remembering about Lois injury,"Let me take you home now." Clark and Chloe about to help her up, Lois smacking their hands away.
"No, no not before we finish cleaning up The Talon. I promised Mrs Kent that I would take care of everything. And we're not leaving till this place is spotless."
Chloe and Clark not about to argue with her knowing once her mind was made up noting could sway her differently.
Lois try to get on her feet, but her movement only causing the pain to recover forcing her to sit back down."Damn, it"
"Lois why don't you just rest there, Me and Chloe will finish up here," Clark handing Chloe the mop while he went to clear the tables.
Lois not willing to give into her pain try unsuccessfully again, only stopping when a cramp of pain kept her seated. But not stopping her mouth from barking out orders.
After awhile of her giving out direction on cleaning The Talon. Giving Chloe and Clark a hard time as they mop, swept the floors, cleaned the tables and fixed up the chairs properly on top of the tables, as the floor dried.
When all was accordance to Ms Lane standards, she finally let Clark set the alarm and ready the keys to lock the place up.
Chloe and Clark grabs hold of Lois's arms. Wrapping them around the back of their neck. Slowly they raised up Lois to her feet, who pushed out a steady stream of air from her mouth in pain.Walking ever so slowly, as little gasps escaped from her mouth. Walking only a few paces when Lois knees buckled, the pain to much to bare trying to move any farther.
Without a word, Clark taking his free hand bends down quickly placing it under her legs swooping her up to his chest with ease.
Lois gasps, surprised at what just happens,"Smallville, what do you think you're doing. I was walking just fine.Put me down!"
"Lois you could barely walk two feet," his charming grin, beaming across his face at Lois uneasiness being in his arms.
