Later at Lois' apartment, she was having dinner with Clark, Wally, and Linda.
"Here's your fifty bucks, Linda!" Lois gave the money to the TV reporter. "Man, I can't believe I lost that bet!" Lois said in a frustrated tone.
"I told you, Lois. Flash is the fastest man alive. Superman is fast but not as fast as Flash," Linda said her putting the money in her wallet.
"Yeah, I see that now," Lois smiled as they stood up to help Lois with the dishes.
"It was a great night!" Linda smiled at Wally who smiled back at her. "But I have to get going!"
"I'll keep you company will we wait for a cab. See you tomorrow, Clark. Bye, Lois. The dinner was great!" Wally waved before he left the apartment with Linda, his arm around her shoulders.
"You did it, didn't you Kent? They're falling in love… faster than I thought," Lois pointed out to Clark, who was in the kitchen helping her to wash the dirty dishes.
"I told you, Lois. They're meant to be… just like you're meant to be … with me."
"What?" Lois asked surprised. "Are you in love with me?"
"I have been for a long time. Didn't you notice?" Clark revealed to her.
"I was suspicious of your feelings but I wasn't sure."
"Does this change anything between us? Because I don't want to loose your friendship," Clark asked as he and Lois sat at the kitchen table.
"No," Lois suddenly closed her eyes and opened them again. She looked into Clark's eyes and leaned over to caress his face. "I guess I always denied the obvious right? It was in front of me all this time. No Superheroes… Just you. My best friend, Clark Kent."
"Right," Clark smiled at her before they shared a passionate and long kiss. "I'm glad you feel the same away, Lois."
"You're a good kisser, Smallville," she smiled at him.
"Thank you," he smiled adjusting his glasses.
"Now shut up and kiss me again."
"Yes, ma'am."
