II

Clark went down the stairs slowly, the list of ways to kill Lois had just reached number 312. Fortunately, when he reached the kitchen, he saw Martha was already gone; the awkward moment wouldn't happen today. Lois was still there, bending over the oven to get the piece of pie Clark left for his breakfast. The sight of Lois from that angle (right from behind) was like a bright light that cleared Clark's thoughts. Revenge would be sweet and very fun too. "Remember Kal" – he thought to himself – "You can be like him if you want to. It's all inside you."

When Lois heard the noise of Clark tapping the kitchen table, she rose up immediately. Trying not to seem guilty, she looked at him angrily and complained, still with her mouth full:

- Why did you leave me such a tiny piece of pie, Smallville? I'm starving, you know?

- I just don't want you to get fat, sweetie. It would be a crime wasting such a hot body.

Lois looked at Clark, surprised, and couldn't recognize the man that stood there, looking at her. His eyes were intense, as if on fire, and he wore a scoundrel smile; confident, sexy, something like Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind. Clark walked slowly around the kitchen tabletowards a shocked Lois, and touched her chin, making her finally close her mouth.

- You know, I've been thinking, babe. Since you've seen a part of me I wasn't willing to show to you, I guess the only way to make you pay back would be by making you show me your bum, what do you think?

- Ha! Now I see you've really lost your mind, kid! What happened? Did one of your cows sit over your head and squashed your brains? – Clark stopped facing her as she spoke, scanning her whole body. He even thought of using the x-ray vision, but first of all it would be too Kal to do something like that, and he only needed to be like it on the outside, not inside; secondly, it wouldn't be enough fun, he wanted Lois to be so embarrassed as he was.
– Look, I have to go now. Tell Martha to call me as soon as she gets back; I want to make sure she gets both sides of the story about that scene.

Clark nodded, and stood silent as Lois picked her bag in the living room and left. She grinned and greeted – See ya, Smallville. – Still confused by the episode she had just lived. Clark just smiled, still keeping that sexy, intense look.

Leaving that house felt like getting out of the twilight zone for Lois. "What a heck is going on with Clark?" she thought. She would never imagine Clark could look so hot, even in flannel, with just a little change in attitude. Of course he was trying to play some game in order to pay her back for what she did, but it was still impressing how good he could be at it! "Hey, wait a minute! Me, finding Clark 'Barn Boy' Kent hot? I must be too needy!" Lois agreed to herself that he had a nice butt, and his back looked so strong and masculine, and his arms made her feel like he could carry her anywhere in the world… "Hello! Earth calling! This is Clark Kent! All right, he's very 'grown up', but that's all! Darn freaking hormones! What a heck is going on with me?!" Lois shook her head, trying to wipe out those thoughts. It was time to get back to reality.

The moment Lois shut the door and left, Clark laughed uncontrollably. He was too happy to see the way he got to make her shaky. Seeing her so vulnerable, so out of balance felt different than he thought it would be. Clark was more than just happy to see his plan was working; he was excited with the idea of getting Lois excited. After all, being so close to her made him tremble inside as well… "What am I thinking about? Lois is definitely not my kind of girl! I can't deny she is beautiful, and sometimes I wonder how would it be if- No! No if! She drives me insane, that's what she does! I must be too needy!" Focusing back on his plan, Clark prepared the next step. The game wasn't even close to its end.
