Chapter 5: Remembering
Lois and Clark were stuck in that uncomfortable silence as they looked around the kitchen that was decorated with pieces of vanilla cake and butter cream icing all over the kitchen floor and themselves as well. Lois defiantly could not take this any longer. Which she really didn't know what she couldn't take any more was that she wanted to kiss Clark, because having a cake fight with Clark was kind of hot, no that would be wrong, it was farm boy, Smallville, the man that she lived to annoy. Scratch that. He was a very hot man that she lived to annoy. It was probably actually breaking out of this uncromfrotable silence that she really couldn't take anymore. To be honest, she really couldn't remember the last time that she felt this uncomfortable around him. Lois in a matter of seconds decided on the second one, since the first option would make things a lot more awkward than they were now. So Lois decided to break the silence that seemed to be going on forever, when in reality it was only lasting maybe a minute or two.
"Well, since I have half the cake over my face and hair," Lois said trying to hide her nervousness as she took her index finger and swiping it across her face and collecting some of the cake and icing that was smeared across her cheek as she showed it to Clark. "I'm going to take a shower." Lois added still uncromfrotable as her sightly red face showed it as she quickly ran upstairs and into the bathroom.
xxxxx"Wow, well that was weird. Clark has the ...well...hots for me. Never thought that I would see the day that farm boy would shoot fire from his eyes. Ha, it is funny. Funny, funny, funny...get over it Lane! Your practically the only girl he has been around with no memory. What did you expect to happen? But what if he really does like me, but he's probably only acting like this because he really doesn't remember how we acted around each other. But I do have to say that Clark is pretty cute when he has no clue what is going on, and particularly that look he had plastered on his face when he had fire shoot from his eyes! Ha, that was actually funny...whoa, this day is totally turning out the way I did not expect it to turn out when I woke up this morning..."xxxxx
Lois broke out of her thoughts and licked her finger that had the cake and icing on it.
"Mmm...not bad..." Lois said out loud as she moved towards the shower.
---Meanwhile---
Clark was downstairs and decided that he should clean up the cake mess. of course, he could of done it much faster if he used his super speed, but he didn't know that he had such an ability. After moping up the mess after ten minutes, Clark then decided to change clothes. Unlike Lois, he did not get cake and icing in his hair. So he quickly took a washcloth and washed off his face, then he decided to go up to his room and change into some clean clothes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lois took her clothes off and stepped into the steamy shower. She needed at least twenty minutes to herself and try to process the whole day. She was the only one currently that could help get Clark's memory back. She kind of had an idea how it can be like when you loose your memory. She was thinking about that unforgettable Valentines day. Even though she couldn't remember anything about it, she wished that she could. She was actually with Clark. Kissing him, and all, that is until Clark dumped her for Lana. That of course mad everything worse! Even though they never dated or anything, it would make any girl feel like crap if they were dumped after being with a guy that they thought was modest and well hot to add that thought as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clark changed into a pair of jeans and a red shirt as he headed back downstairs. He then went into the living room and looked through the stack of home movies that Lois had found. He looked through a couple until one title caught his eyes. It said, 'Clarks 19th Surprise Birthday Party'. Clark thought that it may be a good one to watch. Maybe he would learn something about himself or about his life.
xxxxx"Hmm...maybe this can help me with my memory..."xxxxx
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After about thirty minutes, Lois got changed into a pair of jeans and a blue shirt that she kept there just in case if she had to ever stay there like she had to today. Lois finished getting dressed and went down into the kitchen. Lois noticed that Clark was in the living room watching a home movie of his birthday that his mom, Chloe, and Lois threw for him. Lois remembered that day. After two attempts of trying to make a rum cake, the third one finally came out, hey it might of been a bit lopsided, but with the blue icing and rum taste, Lois thought that it was a success since she usually burnt all of her other cakes, or dropped them before they were eaten.
"That was your birthday a couple of years back." Lois suddenly said smiling as she took a seat on the couch by Clark.
"It was nice of you guys to throw me a surprise birthday." Clark told Lois as he looked at her.
"Yeah...it was right after...never mind." Lois said remembering it was shortly after his father had passed away.
Lois and Clark went back to watching the video. Clark then noticed that Lois had given him a diary as his birthday present.
"Hey, did I ever write in that diary?" Clark asked Lois as he turned his head to look at her.
"Um, well, I really don't know." Lois replied.
"Well, if I did write in it, and if we can find it, maybe I can find out more about my life." Clark suggested.
"Smallville, that is the best idea that you have had all day!" Lois said as she playfully hit Clark in the shoulder.
xxxxx"I love it when she does that! Wait, is that a form of flirting?"xxxxx
"Okay, so, where would I hide my journal?" Clark said as he and Lois stood up from the couch.
"That, I would not know." Lois answered.
"Hey, maybe it's in my bedroom." Clark suggested.
"No, it wouldn't be there."
"And why is that?"
"Well think about it. I took over your room countless times, and I don't think with my curiosity of snooping that you would have it in there." Lois replied with a smirk.
"You snooped in my room?" Clark asked as he didn't believe it.
"Wow, your actually starting to sound like Clark. Now, if it was my guess, I bet it is out in the loft. Probably in your desk or something. And before you get your boxers in a bunch, I've never looked through you journal." Lois said as she opened the door to the house and casually walked outside.
Clark just stood there in the doorway and couldn't believe what this girl was really like. Sure she may have been rude, sarcastic, but she was also a pretty cool friend, and pretty too. Suddenly he was broke out of his thoughts as he heard Lois yelling for him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten minutes later of looking in the loft, and Lois and Clark had no luck at finding the journal.
"Well, it looks like we are not having any luck." Lois said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Look, maybe my memory will just come back to me." Clark suggested.
Sighing, Lois replied, "Look, it doesn't look like you are going to get your memory back at any time soon, so I'm going to swing by my apartment and grab some stuff so I can stay here a few days." Lois said as she began to walk down the loft steps.
"I'm guessing that this means that I get the couch, huh?" Clark asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Of course. Now lets get going, I'm not going to leave you here, you might burn the house down." Lois said to Clark jokingly.
Clark smiled as he watched Lois go down the loft steps. Clark watched her walk down the steps.
"Smallville, you coming?" Lois asked over her shoulder as she was already at the bottom of the loft steps.
xxxxx"Snap out of it Clark!"xxxxx
Clark then snapped out of his thoughts as he headed outside, and into Lois' car.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I know it's not much of an apartment, but it works." Lois said as she laid her keys down on the kitchen counter and went on her bedroom to grab a small bag to place a few clothing items in and other necessities.
Meanwhile, Clark was looking around the apartment. He soon came upon a picture of him, Lois, and Chloe. The picture looked like it had been taken not that long ago.
Lois got done packing her small bag when she came out to see Clark looking at a framed photo of the three.
xxxxx"He is so cute, wow, he really does have a nice ass. Lane! What are you doing? The point of this is to help him to get his memory back, not staring at his butt!"xxxxx
Lois broke out of her thoughts, as she suddenly realized that they never got to eat lunch since Lois burnt the pizza. Her stomach growled as she decided to say something.
"Well, since we didn't have that much of a lunch, how about I actually order out so I don't burn the food this time." Lois said.
"That sounds great, Lois." Clark replied as he placed the framed photo back on the shelf that was in the living room.
Lois then walked over to the kitchen to get the cordless phone as she ordered a large peperoni pizza.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Lois and Clark were eating their, un burnt pizza, Lois was telling Clark some stories that has happened to them in the past.
"Oh, there was also this one time where me and you got chased down by helicopters, turns out, they were my dads, making sure that I wasn't getting into a mess with Chloe's 'death'." Lois told Clark
"Chased by helicopters? I'm getting the feeling that we usually get ourselves into a mess, I'm I right?" Clark asked Lois with a knowing look on his face.
"Yeah, well, we usually do, but I guess thats how our friendship is."
"We probably had a lot of fun together, I mean, you seem like an amazing friend." Clark said to Lois.
xxxxx"Wow, Smallville thinks that I'm amazing. But then again, he is only basing me on today."xxxxx
"I'm not that amazing Clark. Believe me, I have way too many faults." Lois added.
Clark couldn't believe what Lois was saying. He thought that Lois was truly amazing. He was having fun with her, yet he really only remembered her from today's events. Clark couldn't help but look at Lois and wish that he could kiss he right then and there.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Lois asked due to the look that Clark was giving her. Lois then took the tips of her fingers and swiped them around her lips to make sure that she had no food around them.
Clark was looking into Lois' hazel eyes and Lois looked into Clarks' blue eyes.
In a matter of moments, Clark was leaning towards Lois as Lois moved towards him a little, before they knew it, they were kissing each other. Clark moved his hands so he was cupping Lois' face, and Lois had her hands around Clark's neck. Lois never felt anything like this before. Not even Oliver was this good of a kisser, not even the Green Arrow, wait, this kiss was just like the Green Arrow's. Oh my- Clark was the Green Arrow, but she didn't want to pull away from the kiss, however, her head was telling her to keep kissing this amazing guy, while her heart was telling her that this wasn't right. That Clark was vulnerable, and that he still didn't remember anything. Lois also felt completely lost in the kiss. Her brain told her that keep on kissing him, but her heart said that this isn't right. That if Clark had never lost his memories, he wouldn't be doing this right now, but meanwhile, while in the kiss, a flood of memories came back to Clark. Everything from his earliest memory, to playing as a toddler, hanging out with Pete and Chloe, kissing Lois, he remembered everything, even the past few days. However, for exchange for Clark's memories, Lois lost all of her memories that she had kissed Clark, except this one, but which of course, she really lost one, which was the one where she kissed the 'Green Arrow', since she couldn't remember the Valentines Day incident. Lois then pulled back away from the kiss.
Clark still couldn't believe what just happened. He had gotten all of his memories back, and he had just kissed Lois Lane. He didn't know which one was keeping him silent and not able to say anything, but he was soon broken out of his thoughts by Lois.
"I'm sorry." Lois quickly said as she quickly got up from the couch and went over to the kitchen and fiddled around with the coffee maker. Even though it was late in the afternoon, she thought maybe that coffee was the thing that she needed right now.
xxxxx"Once again Lane, you have done something wrong once again! What a surprise! You just can't go around kissing farm boy! What is the matter with you!? Wait, he was the one who kissed me...but I shouldn't of let him. He really isn't himself. Stupid, stupid, stupid..."xxxxx
Clark finally broke out of his thoughts and noticed that Lois was nervous as she played with the coffee maker, really not making coffee at all.
"Lois...I have my memories back"
xxxxx"Wow, thats weird. Getting your memories back after kissing someone. Thats just like something you would read in a story book, I must be loosing it! Heck, maybe me and Smallville are both loosing it, or better yet, maybe this is some whacked out dream!"xxxxx
"Really? Your not just saying that are you?" Lois asked as she stopped playing with the coffee maker and wondering if Clark was just messing with her after the kiss that they had just shared.
Clark smiled knowing that Lois wasn't going to let this go until she knew for sure.
"You hate uncromfrotable silences, you love to listen to White Snake, and you have a sister named Lucy." Clark told Lois.
"Wow, you really do have your memories back. That great, and it's probably a good thing that you don't remember anything today, since last time you didn't remember anything when you lost your memories, right?" Lois asked Clark actually wondering if he did remember today.
"Actually Lois, I do."
"Oh... "
"Look, I know that it was really weird today, me loosing my memory and all. I just want to thank you for helping me."
"Lois?" Clark asked.
"Clark...its nothing..." Lois suddenly said as she thought that she shouldn't bring up the part of Clark emitting fire from his eyes and practically catching the house on fire.
"Lois, doe this have to do with the the whole fire thing?" Clark asked as he came near Lois.
"Look, it totally okay if the meteors affected you. I mean, Chloe was affected by them, and-" Lois began, but also began to ramble.
"Lois, I wasn't affected by the meteors." Clark said sadly to Lois.
Lois gave Clark a curious look and one that also said go on. Clark motioned for her to sit down, and Lois sat down on the kitchen counter as Clark began to explain everything to Lois.
Clark told Lois all about how he came in the meteor shower, how his parents found hi, his heritage, abilities, and who else knows about his abilities, and how he wanted to tell her, but was afraid that she would get hurt like most of the others have in the past.
Clark waited for Lois to reply.
"Well, that does explain your weirdness." Lois said with a beight smile.
Clark was a little taken back.
"Your not freaked out"? Asked a confused Clark.
Lois smiled at him. She had to put herself in his shoes. If she was from a different planet, but looked and acted like everyone else on earth, she would want to be treated the same. She saw Clark as the same person, just now there was an added bonus, that he had abilities.
"No, Clark I'm not. I know that you'll never hut me, and your using you abilities for good, and not bad things. Besides, I always knew that there was something different about you." Lois said, but realized that the 'different part may have not came out right, so she quickly added, "A good different."
"So, your cool with this?" Clark asked.
"Well, I might want to see something." Lois said as she stood up and slowly went over to Clark.
"Um, what?" Clark asked.
"Well, you say that you can do all of these powers, and I believe you, its just that I might want to see you do one." Lois replied with a smirk.
"Okay...which one do you want to see? I mean, you already saw the heat vis-" Clark began, but then remembered the uncromfrotable silence that went on between them after it happened.
"Yeah, that was interesting..." Lois mumbled to herself, but Clark caught it, but acted like he didn't hear anything.
Lois thought for a moment. Out of all his abilities, which one did she want to see first?
"Hmm...I've always wondered how fast super speed was." Lois said and before she knew it, a gust of wind hit her and Clark was gone.
"Okay...That was a bit weird..." Lois said out loud to herself.
Before she knew it, Clark was back with Lois' favorite Starbucks cappuccino, which the nearest one was in Metropolis.
"Okay, thats pretty fast..." Lois said still amazed.
Clark smiled as he gave Lois the cappuccino.
"Thanks Clark." Lois said with a smile, but then that smile faded.
"Look, about that kiss-" Lois began.
"Lois-" Clark began but was cut off from Lois.
"Clark, look, you lost your memory. You didn't know who I really was."
"Lois, even though that I lost my memory, doesn't mean that I saw you differently. You were the same person, and I saw you as the Lois Lane that I always knew. Lois, for a while, I've been seeing you in a different way and I guess I was to afraid to admit how I really felt about you, but when I saw how you took care of me and that you accepted me for how I am, I realize that I'm lucky to have a friend like you."
"Clark...I'm the lucky one to have a friend like you. You and Chloe are the only true friends that I have. I should be thanking you, although, I have to say that you might want to cut back on loosing you memory.." Lois said jokingly.
Clark looked into Lois' eyes as Lois looked into Clarks' eyes and slowly they both moved towards each other and their lips were inches apart, then before they knew it, they were kissing. The kiss was officially their first real kiss since they were both actually themselves and not missing their abilities, or dressed up like someone else. Lois wrapped her arms around Clarks' neck and Clark moved his arms around Lois' waist. They depened their kiss, and second later, they broke apart from their kiss to catch their breath. Lois leaned her head on Clark's chest as they were both wearing a huge smil on their faces.
"Wow..." Lois said as her head was against Clark's chest.
Lois then looked up at Clark and they were both smiling at each other.
"You know Smallville, when I woke up this morning, I never thought that my day would turn out to be like this." Lois said with a grin as she still had her arms wrapped around Clark.
"Really?" Clark asked a little unsure.
"Yeah, it turned out to be quite a weird day." Lois began as Clarks smile faded.
"But, now, I'm loving every moment of it." Lois said with a grin and Clark returned her the Clark Kent smile, as Lois gave Clark another kiss.
