A/N: OK, OK I've been reading some pretty amazing Clois stories out there and FanFic world, and it has sort of helped me with my writing style. I've learn that you don't have to use so many words, or go so deep in the story, with describing and, thoughts from the characters' head, to make it a good story. Thanks to all the writers out there who made such wonderful Clois stories that has inspired me to do things differently.
So PLEASE,...Please read and tell me if I have improved since my first two stories.
Plz Read, Review and leave your complete Honest opinion in the reviews. Thanks!
Spring break, cruise trip to the Bahamas...
'Miami Sunny Ship Port'
Lois and Chloe waiting in line to board, The Royal Cruise line. Sporting tropical tank tops, denim blue jeans and wearing a flower over their right ear. Island tradition signaling that they are single, and looking.
"I can't believe we are actually going on a week long Bahama cruise," Chloe grinned, hardly able to contain her excitement."Bright sun, sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and... hot bods."
Chloe eying a cute guy walking by, muscles rippling through his tight, yellow t-shirt.
"Hell yeah! 7 days, 168 hours, 10,080 minutes, and 604,800 blissful seconds, of pure spring break ecstasy." Lois gleamed, pushing her sun glasses to the top of her head.
Which conveniently held back her chestnut brown, loose flowing locks from her face.
"Wow, Lois please show a little more enthusiasm next time."Chloe teased, "Really excited about this trip aren't we"
Chloe dropping her heavy luggage onto the ground, tired of waiting in line, being pressed against other antsy teens ready to get the party of "Spring break" started.
"Let's just say, that working 20 extra shifts at the Talon sure weren't for nothing." placing her bags down as well, her excitement making it hard to be patient in line.
"So,... getting away from Smallville and a certain farm boy had nothing to do with it." Chloe remarked, glancing at her Cuz devilishly.
"That's just being a big bonus going on this trip. No Smallville, woo hoo!" Lois saids, a little too loudly getting stares, and sneers from others waiting in line.
Chloe smiles embarrassed by her cousin's outburst, that caused nearly everyone in line to turn their heads and stare at them.
"What about Clark?." she asked slyly, wide grin apron her face.
"Who ya think I was talking about, Clo?" she saids laughing.
"Right," Chloe saids, laughing also, forgetting that Lois also referred to Clark as "Smallville", "You know, for two people who can't stand each other, you guys sure do hang out allot."
"Like it can be helped," she sneers, rolling her eyes, "We have practically all the same classes at K Central, which I can't wait to earn enough credits from, so I can finally blow that one horse town and transfer over to Met U...
Besides, his mom has basically adopted me into the family. So she expects me to be there mostly every night for a home cooked dinner, which is hardly a bad thing because Mrs Kent's cooking is to die for, and plus she's so cool all by herself."
She walks up a few feet, the line moving, dragging her bags against the ground. Chloe along side of her doing the same, getting closer to board the huge and best vacation cruisliner in the world.
"And I swear, ever since I moved to the Talon, he seems to be hanging around there more then at home. I think he's paying me back for the time I took over his room and he had to sleep on that hard couch."
"Maybe,...that or he just misses you being around the house," Chloe teased, and receiving glares from Lois.
"Ha, funny Chloe when did we become such a comedian. Correct me if I'm wrong, Cuz ,but isn't Journalism more of your field."
"Hey, just stating the obvious..."
"Obvious what? The fact me and farmer John can't be in the same room with out police escort." Lois blared before being interrupted from their ranting.
"Hey ladies," a voice yelled to them from the crowd. Causing them to turn around to behind them.
A blond muscled guy, standing in line, a few people back. Hands cupped on the side of his mouth to yell loud enough for the girls to hear him.
"As much fun as it is to watch two beautiful women in a "Cat fight" bickering, it isn't really much of a show unless you girls are gonna pull your shirts off, or throw some fists." smiling ear-to-ear hoping for some girl action.
A statement that started a wave of hoots and "cat calls" to stream from the men in the crowds.
Lois and Chloe looked at each other their brows cocked up in annoyance, smirks displayed on their faces.
"Can you believe this guy?"
"Lois, this is a "Spring Break" cruise, mostly every...well, every guy here are the same way. Big blocks of hormonal dysfunction, with only two things on their minds, parties and sex."
Lois shook her head at such lame excuse, but true. "Well at least they could act like they actually have an IQ bigger then a 4 year old."
"Come on ladies, don't keep us guessing."
They faced the guy once again, him standing with his hands resting on his back, waiting for a reply.
"Hey moron, mind your own damn business, Jerk." Lois yelled back at the guy, a dangerous glare radiating her face.
"Lois don't, he's just trying to get to you."
"Well, it's working." she quickly snapped.
"Why don't you come over here, Sweething and show me just what my business is?"
Causing more gestures and harsh oooooo's to escape from the male's mouths.
Lois was about to do just that, but Chloe grabbed her arm stopping her from going any further.
"How about you get some better lines then that, assw..."
"Lois!..." Chloe putting a stop to her sailor language before it began.
"...and get back in line before I decide that it's about time for my foot to meet Jr." Lois crossing her arms, gesturing down to what was hanging in his blue hibiscus print shorts.
This time the tables turned and he was the one on the mocking end, as the crowd jeered him.
Seeing as how he wore only loose shorts, and his jewels were no where near protected from a sudden groin shot, by a girl who looked fit enough to beat him senseless. Wasn't going to take any chance of defying a girl whose glares alone caused pain.
Embarrassed, he crept back into the laughing crowd, out of view.
"Now, anyone else..." arms displayed in front of her, challenging anyone to cross her. Everyone in ear range of the situation went silent, "..thankyou."
They turned back around to where they was headed before.
Chloe laughed,"That was totally unnecessary."
"He was so asking for it."
"HE, was really hot."
Lois rolled her eyes, leave it to her Cuz, find in that time to check the guy out.
"The guy's an ass."
"Excuse me, but I guess being hung-ed up on Clarkie boy,does have a way of swaying all other guys from the picture." she smirked playfully.
"Chloe, shut up or I won't be responsible for what I'll do to you."
"Lo, why don't you just admit it...you've fallen for the olé Kent Charm!"
"Please, what charm? Farm boy couldn't charm a lie, let alone a girl."
Chloe rolled her eyes at her Cuz stubbornness.
"Come on Lois you can not tell me that within the two years or so that you've spent with Clark Kent. You never once thought what it would be like to be with him."
"Hell no," though she was lying, but she wasn't going to admit to something like that, to anyone,"Unlike you Clo, I don't find plaid wearing farm boys irresistible."
"You are so lying," giving her a piercing stare,"Yes I admit, I have fallen into the Kent charm, that being a long time ago, and me being way over it. But you are so completely denying that their is a chemistry between the two of you."
"I'm so gonna kill you right now." Lois angrily, turning away from Chloe trudging forward to close the gap in the line.
Chloe running up behind her, pulling her luggage along,"So you're telling me that their is not one ounce of chemistry between you and Clark, and that the rest of us are the ones who are blind.
The line came to a halt, as well as Lois, causing Chloe to almost plow into the back of her, luggage and all.
"A chemistry?" Lois pretending to be stupid, then purked up like an ideal came to her, "Ah, well if you mean, the bantering, the constant sarcasm, the bickering,..."
Chloe interrupted,"You know what I mean.", annoyed by her cousin's smugged behavior, "The finishing of each others sententeces..."
"The constant who-hates-who more..."
Chloe glared at her, "The way the same words pops out of your mouths at the same time."
"Me, busting Smallville's chops..."
Chloe laughs, "Oh come on, anyone can see that Clark is a different person around you."
Lois sighed, she hated Chloe's reporter instincts that allow her to see right through most people her being one of them, and she wasn't so sure Chloe was the only one who saw that things were changing between her and Clark.
One of her main reasons for going on this trip, not that going on a week long cruise trip to the Bahamas wouldn't be fun all by itself, she just had to get away from him.
Over the years, they have gotten quite close, with school and all. They were always near each other, in class, at lunch, studying, helping each other with homework and projects. All too soon it became a natural, just being around each other. They were joined at the hip, didn't see one without the other, this becoming very evident to her.
He was there with her, where she felt he should be. If he wasn't she was wondering where he was and what he was doing. She found herself not just doing that but also becoming jealous...something never in a million years would she admit not even to herself...at seeing Clark with other girls, talking, engaging with them instead of her. She couldn't believe she was finding herself possessive over farm boy here, over Clark Kent none the less. Not a crazy possessive, stalker like quota, but in a jealous girlfriend sort of way, that was demanding he be only for her.
Thats when she decided on getting a much needed leave from Clark Kent, things like that just couldn't be happening to her, and over Clark, and just shouldn't be happening at all. Not only because of that, but also, as if there could possibly be more, but yes. Also because they found themselves too many of times, in compromising situations.
If it wasn't the glances, when they thought each other wasn't looking, it was the constant awkward silences in between the soul searching stares into each others eyes. That on more then one occasion almost lead to the unthinkable, forbidden first kiss between them.
Not that it should even be something like that between them, because they were only friends, as they secretly admitted to each other. They were after all Clark Kent and Lois Lane, nothing remotely resembling love or more then friendship could exist between them, as she thought.
It was just that, some things were becoming way too comfortable and uncomfortable around Clark, if that even made sense. She was feeling things for him and it scared her more then anything.
" Ah ha, see you're even thinking about him. Can't be one whole day from Clark and he's already running rampant through your head."
Jolting Lois from her reverie, causing her to jump in surprise.
"Chloe if you do that again, there will be hundreds of witnesses here placing me away in prison for what I'm about to do."
"So I was right then, you were thinking about Clark."
"No!.."
"Lois,...you're lying." Chloe saids flatly.
"Clo, shut up."
Chloe smiled widely, an idea formulating in her mind. She turns around as if seeing something.
"Hey, oh my God, I didn't know Clark was here. God, who's the red head with him." sounding very convincing.
Lois quickly spins around toward the direction Chloe is looking, eyes frantically searching through the vast amount of people.
"What..."
Chloe stares at Lois, amused by her reaction, exactly what she expected.
"Ha, I knew it!"
Lois stopped her search realizing it was a setup. She pressed her lips together and gently let her Cuz have it on the arm.
"Ow," rubbing her the spot where she was punched. "Did I hit a soft spot there, Lo."
"Look, I know what you're trying to do and isn't going to work."
"What, you not admitting what you feel for Clark."
"Yes,...wait, I mean no."
"No, what."
"Clo stop it, you're really confusing me." she said trying to figure her Cuz's accusations." I'm not going to admit to anything because there is nothing to admit."
"Not admitting to what exactly, just so we're clear about this."
"That there is something between me and Smallville."
"See, you just admit it, and I thought you said there was nothing between you two." grinning evilly.
Lois growled to herself, at how her Cuz cunningly twisted her own words around.
"Could we please,...please, stop talking about farm boy," she groaned, "You're starting to put a damper on my "Spring Break" mood. I don't want to think about Clar...Smalllville, or about school or anything that doesn't have to do with me tanning on a beach somewhere on a beautiful sandy beach with a glass of tequila in my hand."
"Lo..."
"Clo.." Lois said through clench teeth and giving her a warningly glare.
"Okay...okay."
Grin beamed across her face, putting her hands up in defeat.
"For now, anyway" Chloe piped, "Just don't think for a minute that this conversation is over."
Lois sighed in disgust allowing her eyes-roll to the back of her head, and marched forward as the line started to move again, Chloe from behind pushing her along, still glowing.
Unknown to them way up ahead, there were some very familiar people, that would make this trip more then what they bargained for...
