Chapter Six
It's been two days since I have moved in with Clark. I can't complain. He gave me his parent's old room and he still has his. Clark cooks for me in the mornings, so, I get homemade breakfast. We carpool so I don't have to waste money on gas. He has taken me out to lunch both days. He has been really nice and sweet to me. Oh crap! I'm falling in love with Clark Kent!
Lois was sitting at her desk when she realized that she was in love with her new house mate. "You got to be kidding me," she said to herself not thinking anyone had heard her.
"You got to be kidding me what, Lois?" someone asked. Lois turned her chair around to see a smiling Clark staring at her.
She panicked and said the first thing that would come to her mind. "This pen. It doesn't work," she said picking up the closest pen to her.
"Let me try," Clark said getting the pen from Lois. He tried it out on a scrap piece of paper and it wrote. "Looks like it works to me," he said teasingly.
"Shut up, Smallville. It wasn't working a minute ago. So what do you want?" Lois asked coldly.
"Gosh, Lois, can't I just come over and say hi?"
"You would think you would be tired of me," Lois said.
"Why is that?" Clark asked.
"We work together. We live together. And you still want to see my face?" Lois asked.
"I have to admit, when I first met you, I would have done anything to get you out of my hair. But now I would do anything for you to stay."
Inside Lois just wanted to jump out of her seat and kiss him with a passion so great. But she knew that could never happen. Instead, she realized that things had gotten too mushy for the Lois Lane that Clark knew. So she knew she had to make a choice and she had to make it fast. "Gosh, Smallville, you really want me, do you?" she tried to joke.
"Why would you say that?" Clark asked with panic.
"Relax. Clark, I was just messing with you."
"Yeah, I knew that." Clark walked back to his desk and tried to hide the redness in his face. "So what new stories are you working on?" he asked trying to change the subject.
"Well, for the past couple of weeks I have been out to get my red and blue blur man."
"And how is that going?" Clark asked wondering just how close Lois had come to finding out his secret.
"Very, very successful."
"What a couple of blurry pictures?" Clark asked.
"Actually I don't need pictures when I know who he is," Lois said.
Clark wasn't really paying much attention to Lois, but when she said she knew who the blue and red blur was, he immediately picked up his head and looked at her with question.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah, came as a shocker but something deep down inside of me always knew," Lois said.
Clark was panicking. He couldn't believe Lois knew. Lois Lane knew his secret. "Come on, Lois. You're not going to leave me like this, right? Who is he?" Clark asked.
"Nope. Not telling you. I'm keeping him my secret," Lois said.
"You can't be serious," Clark said.
"I happen to know him as a close friend of mine. I keep my friend's secrets quiet."
Clark was happy to know that she would keep it a secret, but the fact that she had said 'good friend' confirmed that she knew it was him.
Clark had to do something. "I'll be right back. I'm going to go to the rest room," Clark said heading out the door.
He super sped to Chloe's apartment. Storming through the door, Clark saw Chloe laying asleep on the couch in the living room. She quickly woke up sensing that someone was watching her. "Clark?" she asked still half asleep.
"We need to talk." Clark walked over and almost sat on Chloe's legs. "Sorry," he apologized.
Chloe sat up and made room for him. "Can't we do this later? I was kind of in the middle of something called sleep," Chloe said.
"Lois knows who I am."
"Well, umm…why wouldn't she? Yall have known each other for over four years," Chloe said.
"I mean she knows I'm the red and blue blur. She knows who I am," Clark explained.
Chloe looked like she was in shock. "How did she find out?"
"I don't know, but she was talking about how she knew who he was. And how he was a close friend of hers. She has to know it's me."
"Could it be possible that she believes it's Oliver?" Chloe asked.
"Chloe, Oliver told me that Lois knows he is Green Arrow. I doubt she thinks there is a third person under there," Clark said.
"True. Lois is pretty smart. So, what did she do to crack your code?"
"Well when Lois was Faora, she wanted to find out who I was. So, she touched me and got some of my memories. Chloe, what if some of those memories are coming back to Lois?" Clark asked.
"What if they never went away?"
"I don't think she would be able to keep it to herself. Lois is a reporter. Nothing is more important to her than her career. With the kind of stuff that happened that day, Lois could make a big break," Clark said.
"You're wrong, Clark. The most important thing to her is the people she loves. She puts them first. If she did a story on what happens that day, she would be putting your life at risk," Chloe said.
"She doesn't care about me. Do you honestly think she would give all this up just for me?" Clark asked.
"That's for you to find out," Chloe said.
Less than 5 minutes later, Clark was back at the Planet. "Guess someone has a tummy ache," Lois teased. She was sitting at his desk using his computer.
"What are you doing?" Clark asked. He rushed over to her side to see for himself.
"Nothing. Smallville. Gosh. Why do you think I would be up to something?" Lois asked.
By the way she was acting, Clark knew that she was hiding something. She got up from his desk and walked to her own. "Why are you acting so secretive?"
This was the perfect opportunity to find out if Lois remembered anything. "To tell you the truth, Lois, I have been avoiding you because of what happen that day that you can't remember anything," he said.
"What did happen that day?" Lois asked.
"You kissed me."
"I what?" Lois asked as if she didn't understand what he had said.
"You kissed me and you told me you loved me," Clark lied.
"But I wasn't myself, right?" Lois asked. She didn't like where Clark was taking this. Why
was he lying? "I mean I would never say that."
"You were yourself. You kissed me and you love me," Clark said.
Lois couldn't take it anymore. "You liar! I wasn't myself! I was possessed by Faora! She kissed you! Not me! But you kissed her back! You kissed my lips! You admitted you had feelings for me! It was all you!" Lois yelled.
"So you do remember?" Clark asked turning it back all on Lois. He had her just where he wanted her. He knew that she would crack.
Clark could tell that Lois was panicking. She looked like she couldn't believe she had actually said it all.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Clark asked.
"You don't understand."
Nobody was looking at them so Clark super sped them back to the farm. "What the hell?" Lois exclaimed.
"Understand what?" Clark asked. He was holding her tight in his arms.
"Let me go! Clark, please, stop. You're hurting me!" Lois yelled.
He hadn't realized how tight he had been holding her. He quickly let go of her and saw that her arms were red from where he was holding her. "Sorry," he said quietly.
"I know you're stronger than 10 men put together, but man Smallville, that hurt," she said looking at her own arms.
"I still don't understand. Why did you keep quiet about this?"
"Cause you mean more to me than some stupid career. If I told anyone about you, they would just come after you and I would blame it on myself." Tears where now falling down her cheeks.
"Lois I -," Clark began to say.
"No, Clark, let me get this out. If I don't say it now, I never will," Lois interrupted him.
"What out?" Clark asked.
"I love you."
Lois couldn't believe she actually said it. "I don't know how long or when exactly it happen, but I feel love with you. And if anything ever happen to you because of me, I would kill myself. Cause when a woman loves a man, that man is all that matters to her. Nothing could get in the way. Not even some stupid career."
Clark opened his mouth to say something, but Lois put a finger over his lips.
"Before you try to talk to your way out of this, remember that I already know about your feelings for me. There is nothing you can keep from me because I know your biggest secret. There wouldn't be any commitment issues cause we already live together. I don't see any reason for us not to be together," Lois said.
"I don't know what to say," Clark said.
"Then don't say anything at all," Lois said before she leaned in to kiss Clark. When he kissed back, she saw it as a good sign.
My name is Lois Lane. The love of my life is an alien.
THE END.
