Chapter 11

Calvin, Marcy, and Chumpy step into the Talon. The girls go upstairs to Lois' apartment while Calvin makes his way to Lois.

"Mission accomplished," Calvin, says sitting down taking out his cell phone to order some food.

"Good. I see you put some plasma screen TV's here," Lois says seeing the men working.

"Think of it as a real early Christmas present…anyway what happen with Lex and company?"

"Nothing really A.C. was acting strange and Lana was fidgety."

"Did you know A.C. is staying at the Luther Mansion?"

"What? No, I did not know that."

Facing him, "Before you ask, he told me he was staying at a friend's house …I just never asked who because I trusted him."

"Now you don't right?"

"Right…after tonight me and A.C. are done."

"You're gonna break it off with A.C.?"

"Yea I'm just tired of the lies."

"Are you tired of the lies or tired of lying to yourself?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"I think you do, I think you know very well…do me a small favor?"

"Yea sure."

"Listen to your heart and stop listening to the voices in your head; you're very stubborn, but also loyal and loving. Open up to the person you really love. I promise you won't regret it."

"Why are you trying to play matchmaker?"

"I'm not, just stating the facts. It's on you on what you're gonna do."

"Then why can't you listen to your own heart?"

"It's complicated."

"You love her don't you?"

"And you love him. It took ya'll 2 freakin years to finally realize it."

"Yea I do, just don't tell him, or I'll kill you."

"Don't worry I won't. Its on you…I'll see you upstairs were having Chinese take out."

Lois nods thinking about what Calvin just told her. She'd been lying to herself. She was in love with Smallville, her Smallville. Before A.C. came back to town, she and Clark always spent time together watching a movie, falling asleep on the couch, or studying in the loft. They still bickered but it was just fun teasing. Then Lana appeared wanting to start over and all that fun was gone. Lois wanted to be with Clark and she might get her wish this time.

Calvin walks upstairs stopping at the top he made a phone call to one of his people telling them to get the Kent Farm ready and watch after it until he says otherwise.

He knocks on the door Chloe opens the door for him. He sees another person in the room, "Who are you?"

"My name's Bart Allen," the younger man stretches out his hand.

Calvin shakes the younger man's hand "Calvin."

"Where's the food?" Marcy asks.

"It's coming," Calvin, says walking to the table, "Did you guys get anything?"

"Yea, Lana, and A.C. making out… groping each other," Chumpy says. "That's a picture I didn't have to see.

"Everything will be done before karaoke night," Marcy reassures him.

Calvin nods then turns around seeing Clark and Chloe talking what surprised was Clark being calm. Very calm. Clark looks up to see Calvin staring at him and Chloe, "What?"

"You seem calm about this," Calvin says.

"I am…because warned me," Clark says.

"Dude, whatever you said to Clark to make him this calm is working," Bart, says sitting down next to Chloe.

"Clark's finally grown up," Chloe smiles.

Clark gets up, "You guys act like I would attack A.C.," Clark says.

Everyone in the room just stare at him, "Yea you would," they all said.

"No I wouldn't."

"You attacked me."

"That was different."

"How is that different?"

"It just is," Clark says.

"You were jealous," Calvin says smiling.

"I was not jealous."

"Admit it, you love Lois", Calvin says knowing he would admit without directly saying it.

"I'm not gonna admit that I love Lois," Clark says.

Everyone looks at him smiling, Clark thinks about what he just said knowing that he just admitted that he loves Lois without saying it directly.

"Score for Garcia," Chloe says earning her a glare from Clark.

"Say you love Lois aloud," Calvin says.

"I love Lois," Clark says.

"Little louder with emotion," Calvin says smiling.

"Why are there no words to express how I feel about her? I want to show her how much I do." Clark realizes what he just said. He loves Lois, the one who annoyed him, the one who was a thorn on side that wouldn't come out, the one who got him out of his brooding mode when he got into a fight with Lana, the person who made him smile. His Lois, they were friends but he wanted to be so much more.

"Everyone give him a hand, he finally realizes he's in love with Lois," Calvin says everyone in the room applauds.

"Shut up Cal," Clark says with a smile.

Clark pulls Calvin to the side, "Thanks for everything."

"Don't thank me now, thank me tomorrow," Calvin says smiling.

"Why, what did you do?"

"Nothing …I gotta get my guitar from the car and wait for the food," Calvin says leaving.

Lois sees Calvin coming downstairs, she walks up to him and gives him a hug, "Thank you."

He hugs her back, "Don't thank me yet," Calvin says pulling back from the hug to head to the car.

"What did you do?" Lois asks following him to the car.

"Why does everyone assume I did something?" Calvin asks while popping the trunk open to get his two guitars.

"Because you have that glint in your eyes when you're up to something."

"You're right I am up to something but I'm not telling…so don't ask you'll find out later on. Can you hold on for that long?"

"Fine," she looks at his guitars, "You're going to play tonight?"

"Yea I'm bored."

"Why do you need two?"

"Because you never know what might happen." Calvin sees the deliveryman walks up to him and pays for the food.

"Can you do me a favor by bringing the food upstairs," he says with a smile showing his dimples.

"You're lucky my shift is over and I live up there."

"Yea, thank you."

She nods and heads upstairs with the food.

Calvin walks up to the men who had worked on setting up the TV's he checks the equipment once satisfied he pays the men. Then he heads upstairs everyone was relaxing and eating. Chumpy and Marcy was finished with the video, which would be broadcasted on the plasmas TVs downstairs. Since they had 3 hours to kill, they all took a nap.

An hour later, Clark wakes up feeling something heavy on his chest; it was Lois, which brought a smile to his face. He carefully gets out of the bed making sure he didn't wake up Lois. He wakes up Calvin and Bart they make sure the ladies are still asleep. Calvin grabs his guitars and the men walk out of the apartment.

"Why did you wake us?" Calvin asks still tired.

"I need your help with tonight," Clark says.

"You want to sing?"

Clark nods, "I have an idea on what I want to do but with your help we can make this happen."

"Do want to sing too Bart?" Calvin asks.

"Nah dude I don't sing."

"Okay let's go downstairs I have an idea what we can sing."
