"This is my desk, that's where Chloe sits, and that is the espresso machine," Lois said, pointing out various parts of the newsroom to Clark.
"Where is Chloe?" Clark asked, curious about his friend. "It's been awhile since I saw her."
"At a conference in Central City. She'll be back tomorrow," a blonde guy wearing a bowtie explained to him. "C.K. Long time no see!"
"Jimmy!" Clark said, ecstatic to see another old friend. "I can't believe you're still here too. This is great!"
" Jimmy, you remember Clark, right?" Lois asks as she sat in her desk and taking a chocolate bar from her drawer and nibbling on it.
"Sure, how are you, C.K?" Jimmy shakes hands with him. "Will you be working with us?"
"I'll…"
"He'll…" Lois said at the same time as Clark. "Oh, boy. Are we still doing that?" Lois asked, rolling her eyes.
Clark notices how beautiful Lois was wearing a brown suit with a white blouse and a pearl necklace. "Lois, you look beautiful." Clark complemented her. "Very professional."
"Thanks, Clark. You don't look bad either. This blue suit suits you although I'm not sure about the glasses," Lois joked sarcastically. "But I like a guy in glasses, gives him a mature and smart look, you know?"
"Thank you… I guess. I need them; my vision is not the same anymore." Clark justified chucking.
"Don't worry, Clark. You look great too. Very mature." Lois pointed out with a smile.
"Thanks." Clark said as he sits in his desk. "So, what's our schedule for today?"
"Well… the day is pretty slow. Seems the world doesn't have any threats or corruption or anything like that. Do you want to go out for awhile? I didn't have a chance to grab breakfast yet."
"Sounds great," Clark nods, still smiling.
"Jimmy, tell Perry we'll be out for a while. We'll come back soon."
"Sure, Lois," Jimmy yelled as Lois and Clark ran to catch the elevator.
"Great, kiddo! I own you one!"
"Thanks, Jimmy!" Clark said just before the elevator door closed.
"No problem, C.K!"
A few minutes later, in a coffee shop next to the Daily Planet building, Lois and Clark ordered breakfast while Clark looked at Lois in amusement.
"Listen, Lois…It's our song," Clark pointed out as the song Unforgettable starts to play.
"Our song? What do you mean by our? Since when do we have a song?" Lois asked as she raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Don't you remember? Six years ago, the day before you left, we going out during that snowy night. We went to that Irish pub, ordered a few drinks, and this song was playing," Clark pointed out, trying to help Lois remember. "We start to dance and then…we…"
"… kissed," Lois completed his sentence. "I think I'm starting to remember now, Clark."
Metropolis, 2009
"So, are you at least excited about this trip?" Clark asked as they entered an Irish pub, taking off their overcoats before sitting at an empty table.
"I guess. It's Geneva after all. Plus, I'll be able to see my sister again," Lois pointed out as Clark touched her hand and squeezed hard.
"Lois… is there anything I can do to make you stay?" Clark asked, hoping to convince Lois to stay.
"I have to go, Clark. You know that." Lois reminds him. "My father is sick and I have to take care of him for a while. I'm sorry."
"When will you be back?" Clark inquired, curious and nervous all at the same time.
"I don't know. I really don't know, Clark."
Suddenly the song Unforgettable starts to play and Clark pulls Lois to her feet. "Can you dance with me at least?" he asked as Lois rose to dance with him.
"That I can do."
Unforgettable, that's what you
are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that
clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never
before has someone been more
They start to dance with Clark flipping Lois's body around his own body.
"I didn't know you were such a good dancer, Smallville. A few years ago you sucked at this. Remember Chloe's birthday?" Lois asked, still dancing with him.
Unforgettable, in every way
And forevermore,
(And forevermore)
That's how you'll stay, (That's how you'll
stay)
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so
unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
"How can I forget? You three had fun torturing me." Clark chucked at the memory as Lois rolled her eyes.
"Hey, I was possessed by an evil witch. It wasn't really my fault," Lois defended herself as suddenly their eyes found each other, their lips locking in a very passionate kiss.
No, never before has
someone been more
Ooh Unforgettable, (Unforgettable)
In every
way, (In every way)
And forevermore, (And forevermore)
That's
how you'll stay, (That's how you'll stay)
That's why darling it's
incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
unforgettable too
They moved apart moments later as Lois looked in confusion at Clark."What the hell was that?"
"A kiss, Lois," Clark said in a sarcastic tone.
"I know it was a kiss, but what does it mean?" Lois looked at Clark and swiftly pulled away. "I'm sorry, Clark. I can't handle this right now. I'm sorry, but I can't. I have to go."
"Lois…"
"I have to pack." Lois said before running away, leaving Clark alone in the pub.
"Lois…"
