Thanks for the great reviews!
Forgot last time: Don't own them! Sad but true unfortunately.
Chapter 2
- Stuck! We can't be stuck!
- Well we are! We're stuck! Deal with it!
She let out a huge sad, angry sigh and slowly slid against the elevator wall down to the floor, hid her face in her hands and almost looked like she was on the verge of starting to cry.
He'd never seen her like this, Lois Lane was always strong, independent and she never ever lost control, this was so unlike her. He slid down beside her, not caring if she might hit him or something Lois-like.
-You okay?
She sighed
-Do I look okay to you!
Stupid Kent, stupid!- No you don't, that's why I asked. What's going on Lois?
- What's going on? Where have you been these past 7 days? Haven't you noticed that we've got a deadline and we're not even close to be done? Haven't you noticed that I've been working my ass off to get this finished and you've not exactly been very helpful! And to top this lovely week with even more bad news and experiences I'm now stuck in an elevator with Clark Kent, king of useless……
- Hey! I get that your stressed out1 I get that you think this is important but there so reason to pick on me for it, I pitch in just as much as you and for the record it is NOT my fault that we're stuck in this elevator! I did not put us in this situation and don't you even think you can put this all on me cause you're just as much cause to any of the problems we've ran into this week as I am! And for the record you're not the most pleasant person to be stuck in an elevator with either!
At this point she looked away, he could have sworn he saw a small tear fall down her cheek and his suspicions were confirmed as he saw her wipe it away thinking he'd not seen it.
- Hey……, he said softly. It's gonna work out you know, we'll get it done, we'll even get out of this elevator sooner or later.
She didn't answer him.
- Look, I'll se what I can do, okay. I'll se if I can get us out of here…
He was about to get up, when she took a hold of his shirt and pulled him down again.
- It's no use….It'll start when it starts and you can't speed it up…Clark you're not some kind of Superman you know.
- Fine, if that's the way you want it, but don't say I wasn't prepared to try.
He pulled his cellphone out of his pocket only to be met by no reception. I seemed they'll just have to wait, waiting with a manic Lois Lane wasn't gonna a whole lot of fun……
- Clark?
Her voice sounded insecure, not at all like the Lois he knew
- What now?
Did she actually call him Clark?-I….I'm sorry…I didn't mean…
- I know, you're really a softie, you just don't wanna admit it right, he said it playfully, who knew, maybe she'd cheer up a bit
As a matter of fact he heard a tiny but noticeable giggle.
- Well, I'm gonna have to kill you if you tell anyone, you know that right, she said playing along
- Don't worry Lois. Your secret's safe with me……, he said looking at her with a smile.
Gee, thanks Kent, win me over with that perfect, enchanting Kent-male-side-of-the-family-wonder-smile!Good, she said with a smirk playfully hitting him a little.
Truce, he asked hopefully offering his hand
For now, she said carefully leaning her head on his shoulder, hoping he wouldn't really notice it.
That'll do for now, he said contentedly not missing her head lightly leaning against his shoulder.
He slowly put his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer, having a sense that she wouldn't push him away for a change, she wasn't the kind to take help, comfort or just a plain offer of friendship, but today was different, maybe that's what I took, being stuck in an elevator that is, for her to let him in, just a little.
That felt nice….him holding her. She felt strangely safe in his arms, calm and relaxed. She sighed contentedly, just a second ago she was ready to burst into tears…..Clark had a strange effect on her, she had to admit it.
Just don't get any idea's, she said quietly closing her eyes.
- Don't worry Lois…..I wont…….I wont, he said placing an ever so soft, almost unnoticeable kiss at the top of her head
He didn't know why he did that, it just seemed right.
At that moment she opened her eyes looking at him, his ocean blue meeting her hazel ones. At just that moment something happened, a spark maybe, a mutual understanding, something…..unnoticeable to a bystander but oh so evident for the two souls sitting there, wrapped in each others arms on a elevator floor.
Her hand reached for his face, fingers tracing lines across his jawline. He lifted his hand catching hers letting their fingers entwine. Feeling a strange calm from her touch he slowly leaned in lightly brushing her lips never letting his eyes leave hers.
Looking at her, seeing the same burning desire he felt inside, he leaned in again. But this time Lois beat him to it, catching his lips with her own in a kiss growing more passionate each second…………
TBC.
Working on chapter 3,will hopefully have it up by Wednesday.
