Metropolis Luthor Towers two days later

Tonight marks the grand opening of Luthorcorp's new project the Luthorcorp's luxury hotel in downtown metropolis. Everyone's everyone is going be there including Mr. and Mrs. Luthor themselves. The ceremony starts a eight

"Hey C.K., thanks for coming with me. I'm sorry that the guys night got ruined" jimmy said as he was doing his daily planet duties

"No problem jimmy the night's still young maybe we can get out of here early before we get killed by the boredom" Clark said making both of them crack up.

All of a sudden a booming voice went through out the ballroom "good evening ladies and gentlemen me and my lovely wife would like to thank you for coming."

Clark acknowledged that voice instantly. It belonged to none other than the devil himself, Lex Luthor "and welcome to the new Luthor luxury towers, today brings in a new era of Luthorcorp and the people of metropolis can be apart of it" Lex grabbed a glass of champagne and raised it and locked eyes with Clark "to the future"

"Quite a speech huh C.K.?" jimmy asked

"A little over the top if you ask me" Clark replied

"Well you know me Clark I always had a thing for the theatrics" Lex said coming up behind Clark and beside him was Lana.

"Lex nice place" Clark then looked at Lana "Mrs. Luthor"

"Yes I know I was going for a palace look here but they did well enough. So Clark no date tonight I never thought I would see the day were Clark Kent wouldn't be able to get a date" Lex acquired. Clark was about to speak when they heard

"actually I'm just running fashionably late" they turned around to see none other than Lois Lane standing there in a very sexy black evening dress " sorry I'm late baby, traffic was a killer" she walked over to Clark and kissed him on the lips then gave him a hug and whispered in his ear "play along" Clark didn't know what the hell was going on but decided to do what she said.

"its okay baby as long as you're here now that's all that matters, why don't we go get some air" Clark said as he pulled Lois closer "Lex, Mrs. Luthor it was….." Clark paused for a second then shrugged his shoulders and walked away outside to the balcony leaving jimmy and the Luthors sitting there stunned they have never seen Clark act that way.

"Okay, first of all that felt great and what are you doing here?" Clark wondered "Chloe thought you guys would need back up since you were dealing with the Luthors"

"Well I got to thank her and what was up with the kiss?"

"Oh please, Smallville, I heard what Lex said and I wanted to get back at him" Lois said getting that army brat attitude

"Yea if you say so Lois"

"Please, Smallville, you actually think that I would give you the time of day in your dreams"

"Too late" Clark said while laughing "Ow" Lois just punched him in the arm "just playing Lois but since were keeping up this charade do you want to dance" Clark extends his hand

"I don't know I don't want you to step all over my feet "

"Okay Lois, if you're afraid"

"That's funny, me! Lois lane afraid, ha lets go"

So they walk in hand in hand laughing, chatting it up, people noticing them and couldn't stop staring. There was a certain glow about them that people couldn't ignore. They finally found a spot on the dance floor Clark was trying hard but a little bit out of sync.

"Here, it's like this Clark. Let me help you." Lois pulled him closer and put his hands on her hips finally getting them dancing as one. Lex had many bands there. They danced to All American Rejects, Panic At the Disco and to whatever the D.J. put on. Suddenly the music goes off. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please. I hope all you have been having fun this evening. Now if I could have my beautiful wife join me" Lana walks towards the stage walking right past Clark and Lois locking eyes with Clark. "Lana this past six months has been unbelievable and I still can't believe I'm the guy who beat the rest of the competition away. May I have this dance?" Suddenly out came the Rascal Flatts with there song "what hurts the most". The spot light shined on them and everybody started dancing again.

"So Lois, have I lived up to the challenge?"

"I guess your doing alright Smallville"

"So it's Smallville now, what happened to Clark?" Clark inquired

"You're not that lucky" Lois was about to say something when she noticed Lana staring every time she would come in that direction. "Clark, Lana is staring at you like she is burning a hole in you"

Clark looked up at Lana and they locked eyes again Lana smiled and Clark just looked away with a look that told her I don't care anymore about you. Obviously, she took the hint cause the look on her face was of hurt and regret. "Let her stare, I don't care anymore"

Clark replied with such confidence that it caught Lois off guard. "Is someone finally over there child hood crush? It took you long enough, so who is next on Clark Kent's list?" Clark pondered that question for a little while then looked at Lois and something just rose up out of him "I don't know when you are going to be free?" Lois laughed a little too much attracting the attention of the people next to them "please Kent first you wouldn't know what to do with me, second I like guys that can surprise me every once and a while." Suddenly and with out warning Clark dips her "is this enough surprise for you?"

"Not really, I knew you were going to do that"

"Well, what about this?" Clark leaned in so that there lips were centimeters away from each other

"What are you doing?" Lois asked while falling in to a trance looking at his baby blues

"Surprising you Lois" Clark leaned in more almost accomplishing what he set out to do when they heard "OH MY GOD"

They both shot up and turned to see jimmy and Chloe standing there looking shocked

"Ummm, ill see you later Smallville. I got to go." With that said, Lois practically ran out of there

Ten Minutes Earlier

There was jimmy doing his daily planet duties taking pictures of the rich and famous

"Hey baby" jimmy turned to Chloe standing there beautiful as ever "hey, you finally got that article done?"

"Yep, I took a shortcut. Where is Clark at?"

"Actually, the weird thing is he is on the dance floor with Lois" jimmy said while pointing to Clark and Lois "did you know about lois coming?"

"Yea I told her that she should come over and hang with you guys. Especially Clark since I knew Lana was going be here"

"Well I think it is working because Lana hasn't really taken her eyes off Clark all night. Especially when he dissed her earlier when Lois showed up and especially now."

"She sure is, what's so interesting about Lois and Clark" Chloe said while she turned to look at them then stop suddenly seeing clark was about to kiss Lois "OH MY GOD" suddenly Lois ran off and Clark turned and looked at her almost burning a hole in her "ummm, Clark, oops"
