ACT IV : (Warning: May Cause eyes to leak, get tissues handy for such case)
He grabbed her gently by the neck, pulling her lips closer to his, wanting to consume her entirely. He slips his hands through her soft tresses. She slides her hands under his shirt, feeling his hard rippling back muscles. They forgetting, and not caring that they were being displayed in front of other people on huge wide screens.
They slam up against the wall, her back against it, he pressed up in front of her. He takes her hands entwining their fingers together, pushing her arms onto the wall. Mouths not releasing from their hold, lust for each others body growing to the point that they don't care if people are watching. They wanted to bang each other senseless, audience or not.
Lois couldn't believe how much she was enjoying this, not only was this guy a great kisser, she couldn't believe she was actually thinking about having sex with the guy right then and there, even with a camera present.
But something she couldn't quite explain...something was definitely very familiar...
Lois eyes shot wide open, that "something" clicking in both of them at the same time. They pull their faces away from each other, breathing heavily, gasping in air their lungs burned for. Heart racing at the thought that was spreading through their mind.
The touch, the feeling it all confirmed it, the chills they got earlier, on more then one occasion, it was no denying it...
"CLARK!"
"LOIS!"
The lights shot on, their faces drained of all blood, mouths formed as if yelling but no sounds coming out. Seeing making it all too real for them to handle. Lois pushes Clark off her, he slamming into the opposite wall.
She swore her heart stopped, and she saw her life flashed before her.
Clark stood their shocked not believing he was actually making out with the person he wanted the most, the one person he was thinking about the whole time he thought he was kissing a complete stranger.
"Dreams do come true." he breaths out, the only thing coming to mind.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" she lets out, her voice coming to her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Clark, screaming because she is.
Setting off another chain of screaming amongst friends, seeing and hearing the whole thing. Having great difficulty in believing that this is actually happening.
Chloe and Lana: "AAAAAAAAHH!"
AC and Bart: "AAAAAAAAAHH!"
Tim and Mitch: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
"Wait...Why the hell are we yelling?" Mitch asks after the screaming stops.
"Us? Dude, why are they yelling?" Tim asks, referring to Lois and Clark. "Dude, she's like a freakken goddess, and he,...he could easily get a job as a model."
"Yo, What is up with your friend? Is she blind?" Mitch asking Chloe who's mind was still in a coma from the shock.
"Man, is he blind?" Tim asks, not directing the question to anyone in particular.
"What is their deal?" Mitch asks, curiosity getting the best of him.
"Well..." Chloe begins, not taking her eyes off the screen, showing her best friend and Cuz in high panic. "...it all began, with a funeral..."
"This can't be happening!" she shouts, her hand covering her mouth like they were doing something terribly wrong. "We were not just kissing!...Again!"
Clark looked on at Lois, she starring back, frozen where she stood. "Lois..."
She places her hands over her ears, turning her back to him, her eyes closed tightly. "You're dreaming...this isn't real...This is just a dream, no a nightmare. You're really still in line...The sun!...yeah you got heat stroke, and this is just a nightmare...and I'll wake up any minute now and then I can start my vacation, and I swear I'm never gonna play any stupid "Unofficial" cruise games...I'm not even going to gamble..."
Clark cautiously steps toward her, worried that maybe the shock was too much for her. "Lois..."
"God, No! He's still here! Why doesn't he go away?" she saids shaking her head, hands still on her ears.
"Lois..."
She spins around facing him with such fury that he's all too familiar with. "What the Hell are you doing here?"
"Uh.." he tries to say.
"And don't tell me it's a coincidence we happen to be on the same cruise, because there is no such things as coincidences, Clark!"
He cringes at his name, knowing she only said it when she was being serious or when she was pissed, and he guess it had to do with the latter.
"I'm on vacation and no, I didn't have any ideal that you would be here."
"Right, you sound so very convincing!" she shudders thinking back to a few minutes ago how they were all over each other."So when did we add stalking to our agenda?" She saids sarcastically.
"I'm not stalking you! How many times do I have to say, I didn't know you were on here?"
"Are you kidding me! Farm boy actually took a step out in the real world." she smirks, folding her arms across her chest, not believing him.
"Lois, Smallville isn't the only place I've ever been." his anger starting to match hers.
"Hah! Name another."
He thinks for a second. "Metropolis."
"Wow! three whole hours away. You are so predictable!"
Just then the door opens on his side, AC and Bart standing in the door way. "You guys okay?"
Lois' heart drops. "AC!" Great! This just keeps getting better!
"Hey! I'm here too, ya know." Bart saids folding his arms across his chest. Lois rolls her eyes not paying him any attention.
The door opens on her side also, Chloe and Lana steps in. Everyone turning to look at them.
"Bart! AC!" Lana gasps. Chloe the only one not entirely shocked by it all.
"Finally! At least someone sees me." Bart sneers.
"Lana!" Clark surprised to see her, and already figuring Chloe would be here.
"Yeah, Ok! We all know each other! We don't need to do a role call!" Lois sneered, she looked around all eyes on her, watching her as if she was some kind of circus act. "I gotta get out of here!"
She walks over to the door, Clark starting after her. "Lois!"
She comes to a stop raising her hand up to him, bringing him to a halt. She not wanting to deal with their issues right now, and storms pass Chloe out the door. Clark tries to do the same, but is forced by the other girls in the room to go back to the guys' side to leave out that way.
Chloe catches up to Lois in the hall. "Lois, wait!"
"For what?"
She tries to keep up with her, running out of breath. "Where are you going?"
"To get wasted." She answers bluntly, anger playing dangerously in her eyes.
"Lois, please stop!" Chloe grabs her arm making Lois turn around to face her.
"You knew this whole time, didn't you?" she yells, arms folded tightly. "Did you help him set this up, were you part of this scam!"
"No!" Chloe yells back, hurt sounding in her voice. "I wouldn't never have played with you're emotions like that."
"But you knew he was here, the way you acted on the deck, you knew!"
Chloe sighed. "Yes, but only then, and the only reason I didn't say anything because I already knew how stressed you were and I didn't want you freaking out, like now."
"You could of warned me, I wouldn't be this upset if I had found out then instead of...instead of like this!" tears began to form in her eyes, she quickly wipes them away hoping Chloe doesn't notice.
Chloe sees them and it confuses her, Lois never cries. She always kept it away from view, she would never dare let someone see or know she had been crying. "Lois you're starting to freak me out. What's wrong?"
Lois turns from her, and rants out whatever comes to her mind. "I thought it was just an infatuation,...couldn't possibly be real. I thought it was proven when I felt the same,...towards a complete stranger I was kissing. Only to find out that it wasn't an infatuation,...it was the real deal, when that stranger turn out to be the one,...I'm falling for."
"Lois what's so wrong with falling in love with Clark?"
"I can't hurt him,...I won't!"
"How could you possibly hurt him? Lois, you love him and believe me he's totally, madly in love with you." Chloe completely confused by her behavior.
"I know, that's why I can't let him get hurt by being with me."
"What, but how..."
Lois turns starring her in the eyes, cutting her off. "Clo,...I'm dying."
She drops her head down, seeing her Cuz's face grow with fear and pain. Chloe stutters barely getting the words out. "Wh-What are you talking about, dying!"
Lois sighs heavily. "It seems that my nasty little drinking habit since I was 12 caught up with me." Lois lets out a deep breath. "...I was diagnosed with liver cancer."
"Ho-How...How long ago?" Chloe voice failing her, tears starting to stream down her face.
"Two months ago." She turns from her again the sight of her Cuz crying is too much. Lois paces around, trying to get the information out that's been haunting her for so long. "The Doc saids, I need a donor..."
"Well there's hope, there's a chance for yo..."
Lois shakes her head, slowly. "I have AB - blood, it's the rarest type in the world. Only one in a million people are ever born with the type, no one else in the family has it. My...mom was only the other person beside me, Luce took after the General...With being in the rare blood type, their aren't many donors and when one does come around, it goes to the highest bider...one willing to pay the most for it."
"But...But hospitals they have waiting lists." Chloe's brain trying to think, refusing to give up.
"Yeah, and I'm on the bottom, the latest one to come aboard...It takes years for a donor to come up and...I only..."
"How long?"
Lois knew what she meant. "...a year,...six months at the most,...maybe less, their not sure."
Chloe turns away from her, tears pouring down her checks, her hands covering her face.
"Don't tell anyone,...I'll tell them in my own time."
Chloe faces her, eyes red and swelling, cheeks stained with tears. "Lo, usually I would agree with you, but their are just some secrets that shouldn't be kept."
"Yeah, you should know." Lois saids bitterly.
Chloe looks hurt, but doesn't take offense, knowing her Cuz is going through a rough situation.
Lois sighs, she didn't mean to hurt Clo's feeling. "My reason for going on this trip was obvious that I needed some time away from "him", and I don't want things to change. I know as soon as I tell anyone, people are going to act differently towards me...I don't want a constant reminder of what could be laying around the corner of everyday."
"What about Clark?"
Lois backs into the wall, sliding down until she was sitting on the floor. She pulled her knees to her chest and begin to sob. "Chloe, I love him so much."
Chloe sits down next to her, wrapping her in her arms. "Then be with him."
"I can't! I won't..." Lois cries, shaking her head. "...I'm not going to put him through that pain."
"Lois, it would be worser, if you never gave him that chance to love you."
"LOIS!"
They hear Clark's voice calling for her. Chloe turns her face back to her Cuz.
Lois gives Chloe a look. "Give me a head start?"
Chloe gives her Cuz her famous smile and nods. Knowing Lois needed time to sort things out before she faced the tasks that lay-ed ahead, telling Clark and everyone she cared about that things...were going to be rough for her.
She Stands up helping Lois to her feet. "But drinking, Lo?"
"Hey, I'm gonna continue to live, no matter how short or long." giving her a genuine Lane grin. "Now keep wonder-boy busy till I'm outta here."
"Go."
Lois pulls her into a quick hug, then takes off running down the hall. She watches as she disappears out of sight, then turns around hearing foot steps approach her.
"Chloe." Clark notices her wet cheeks and slightly red eyes. "Clo, what's wrong? Where's Lois?"
She wipes her face with her hands. "Every things OK, Lois just needs some time to cool off."
"What happen?"
"Just a little disagreement."
"She's a tough person to reason with, huh?" Clark giving her a small smile.
Chloe grins widely and stares him in the eyes. "I have a feeling you'll find that out soon enough."
AN: See, I told you it was long. I would like to thank my computer for breaking down and making me go crazy or none of this would be possible. (Yeah Right! LOL)
Hope this last part wasn't too much of a tear jerker, but let me know if you at least shed one tear. Then I would be satisfied in knowing that I did my job. LOL.
OK, Coming up in Chap 8 Part 4: Yes there's a part 4! But don't worry it's short.
Spoilers: What happens when the gang finds Lois? Red...White...and Blue? (Wait and See!)
