Chapter 19: Cruise (Day 2) Thrills and Chills
Lois shakes her head, holding up her hands to everyone as if they were to pause by the gesture. "Wait! I didn't agree to this. Why can't I just go with you?"
Though it was exactly 24 hrs later, she was still recovering from being locked up and confined in close proximities with Clark. It would so not help being "that" close to him again and "not" do something...Chloe could so see this all over her face, and her grin only became bigger, especially when Lois gives her a stern look.
"Cos, "I'm" not riding with another Dude." Bart answers for her, and quickly climbs behind Chloe onto the Jet-ski, he waves off. "Later, Dudes."
Lois tightly crosses her arms and stumps her foot down. "Chloe don't you dare leave me here!"
Chloe mouth widens in an evil grin, she turns the steer to the Jet-Ski away from the dock. "See ya, Cuz."
Lois cuts her eyes in a deathly glare, her lips squeezed tightly together, watching as they drove off, out of the back of the ship. Out to the open sea where others engaged in other various water sports. Leaving the two at the dock to deal with each other.
Lois spins around to face Clark and steps closer to him. "You know it's inevitable?"
"What's that?" Clark asked, rearing a toothy charming grin, he always loved how she looked when frustrated.
"We always end up stuck together." Lois answers, stepping closer to him, her expression softens as a sly smile tugs at her lips.
Clark laughs softly, his smile widening as he starred deeply into her hazels. Taking on the unspoken game of drowning the distance between them, he too stepping in more to close up the rest of the space between them.
"I could get very use to it."
Lois leans up closer to his face, inches from his lips, her sweet breath caressing them. "I think I could too..." leaning in to his lips as if going to kiss him, but stops, merely brushing them. "...it's just a shame we're on this Bet."
Lois mischievously smiles pulling away, she gives him a wink before walking over to the Jet-ski.
"I see nothings changed." Clark breathes out, walking over and stands next to her.
"You know, you could always make it easier on yourself and...just quit."
Clark folds his arms, and turns to face her. "Riiiiiight...and let you win?...and have the whole day to boss me around?"
Lois pats him on the chest. "I do that anyways, Clarkie. So, I'm really not seeing the difference from what usually happens."
"Except for the part where I have to "willingly" obey." Clark adds, glaring at her for using the ban of his nicks, thinking he has a point.
Lois places a finger to her lips, feigning thought. "Nope, still not really seeing the difference here...Clarkie." she saids amusingly, a teasing grin on her lips.
Clark rolls his eyes. "Whatever." he sighs. "Not what I was talking about earlier when I said, "Some things never change."
Lois saw the seriousness in his face and turns away from hims, already knowing what he was talking about but not about to make it easy for him.
"Then, what did you mean?"
"I was referring to how you're pretending nothing happened between us, like you're doing now, hiding behind this Bet."
She spins back around to face him, her hands resting on her hips, annoyed by his assumption. "I'm not pretending or hiding, I haven't forgotten about last night and I'm not acting like it didn't happen. I'm...I'm..."
"What?" he impatiently, snaps.
Lois exhales slowly, trying to keep herself from snapping back, knowing it would just lead to a major break out between them and she didn't want that. She looks truthfully into his blues, which seeks answers.
"It's just...it's a problem, another one of many that we face..." Clark could feel her hinting about the secret he carried as well as her own. "...We're on Spring Break...a Cruise to the Bahamas. I just want to put all our problems away for the moment and just enjoy being here...together." turning her head to the side, saying the last part softly, but with his sensitive hearing he picked it up.
"Together?" Clark smiles brightly, questioning the truth behind her words.
She shoots him a confused look, wondering how he could have heard her, but smiles at his question, amazed none the less. "Yes, together, but don't think that gives you a "get out of bantering" Free Pass."
Clark laughs, his lips in a wide toothy grin. "I wouldn't want it any other way."
He lifts his hand to her face, his fingers gently tracing her silky skin, stepping in to her, they touching chest to chest as his eyes starred lovingly into hers.
"So does this mean that we're officially a couple, now?" he asked in his seductive, husky voice.
He slides his hands down her arms, creating goosebumps upon them and lightly bringing them at a rest on her hips. He pulling her in closer, if possible, against his body. Lois stifles a squeal from her mouth by bitting down on her bottom lip, from his reaction.
The weight of his hands upon her hips brought back the all too familiar feelings, taking her every ounce of strength in her body from giving into her desires. She looks up from his hands slowly rubbing her hips, to his blues never ceasing to captivate her. Her heart pounds away inside her chest, excited by his new found confidence. This trip seeming to bring a whole new persona out of him, and she was sure she had a hand in it coming out.
Clark leans in to kiss her, Lois stops him with a finger to his lips. "Hmm, I'll think about it." she replies, playfully, he smiles behind her finger. Gently he pulls her hand down and goes toward her lips to try again, only to be blocked by her other hand.
"My, aren't we the impatient one." she laughs.
"You're a tease." he groans as she moved away from him, laughing loudly.
They turn toward the edge of the pier and face the blue and red Jet-ski bobbing in the waves, tied to the the metal pole of the dock. Starring at the craft intently like it held the answers to their problems.
"So...only one Jet-ski." Clark blatantly saids, rocking on his heels.
Lois cocks her head to the side giving him a sidelong look. "Really? Haven't noticed." she sneers, sarcastically, shaking her head. "Again, with the obvious."
Clark rolls his eyes and turns his head to her. "So, who's driving?"
They turn back to look at the shiny Jet-ski, a moment passes before they quickly turn to face each other again, the same thought going through their heads.
"I'm driving." they both say at the same time, annoyance crossing their face when it happens.
"You drive!" Lois blurs out, her face scrunched up. "You don't even know how to drive one of them!"
"And, you do!" Clark snaps back.
"In fact, you can say I'm an expert. "I am" the instructor AC was talking about."
"You showed AC and Chloe how to handle those things?"
"Yes...I...did!" Lois answers proudly, folding her arms across her chest. "Well actually only Lana, AC and Chloe already knew how to drive one. AC practically comes from the water and Chloe is my cousin, we're not exactly a virgin to it."
Clark squares his eyes at Lois' choose of words, and challenges her. "Then...show me."
Lois cocks her brow up, giving him a stern look. "No, for two reasons."
Clark faces her, folding his own arms. "One." he saids, starting her off.
"One." Lois saids, rolling her eyes and holding up one finger as she states her reason.
"If you and Bart would have arrived in the time that was text-ed to ya, you would have been on time for my instuctions...but, no, you weren't."
Clark rolls his eyes, then stares blankly at her. "Two..."
She purses her lips, giving him the same stare back. "I know how to count. Car-Los."
"Two." Clark impatiently presses.
Lois rolls up her eyes, and holds up two fingers. "Two, you're not driving...cos...cos I am."
"Lois, that's not really good reasons."
She gasps, holding her hand over her heart as if she was really in shock. "Did you just call me by my real name? Where's Chloe when you need her?"
"Lois!" Clark growls.
"Ok, fine maybe they're not good reasons, but they're mine and there is just no way I'm trusting my life in your hands behind the controls of a machine you don't even know how to operate." She rants and turns from him walking over to the Jet-ski to climb on.
"Well, it's not much use if you don't have the keys to start it." he saids grinning widely, holding up the keys for her to view, just having super-speed-ed them off of her.
Lois stops in her tracks, feeling the front chest pocket on the wet suit, only to find it empty. She slowly turns around to see them dangling from Clark's hand. Lois marches over to Clark, her eyes cut in a glare at him.
"How did you do that?" Lois asks, her head leaning to the side, confusion written all over her face.
Clark just smiles smugly at her, cocking his head to the side. Lois shakes her head, snatching the keys from his hand. "Uh, nevermind...don't want to know."
She straddles the Jet-ski starting up the motor, it roaring as it repped up through the water. She turns her head to look at Clark, standing there, looking undecided about the whole thing.
"Well, you coming?"
Clark lets out a breath, claiming defeat, knowing it was pointless to argue when her mind was set.
"Just be careful..." Clark warns, as he climbs on behind her, wishing now he put up more of a fight to be the one to drive. Being in this position was stirring "up" things...Hesistantly he wraps his arms around her, softly clasping his hands together upon her stomach.
He clears his throat, trying to get his focus off certain "thoughts" coursing wildly though his mind. "...W-We all know what can happen when you're behind the wheel of anything."
"Don't worry...Smallville." Lois smirks evilly, she could feel him roll his eyes behind her. "Nothing much out here to hit."
"Yea, except people!" Clark lets out, sarcastically, Lois just shakes her head.
"...and Clark?" Lois saids, sweetly, smiling innocently throwing him "off " a bit, making him furrow his brows in confusion.
"Yea?" he asks, cautiously.
"Try to keep Clark Jr there, on a leash." she taunts, causing him to flush red.
"LOIS!"
"Whaaaaat?" she strides. "I felt something."
"Well, it isn't me!"
"You sure?"
"Yes!" Clark shouts, feeling his cheeks burn more. "Now, can we go!"
Lois laughs as they speed out of the ship to the bright sun and open ocean to catch up with the rest. Not taking her long to find her Cuz and the others among the wild teens loose upon the water, spotting Bart swinging his arms around to be notice.
"Nice to see ya guys finally join us." Chloe quips.
"Yea, I owe Chloe five dollars! I was sure one of ya drowned the other." Bart laughs.
"Ha Ha, see you still haven't grown in the "long" time we were gone." Lois snarks back.
Bart rolls his eyes. "Shoulda known you'd be the one behind the controls."
Clark takes some offense to his statement. "Hey, you're not exactly in control there, Bart."
"There's a difference between allowing and surrendering control, Dude. I don't have to guess which one you did."
"Yup, he surrendered." Lois smugly, answers what everyone already knew.
Chloe and Lana laughs, AC shakes his head. "Come on, lets go rip this water!"
He zooms off, Lana squeals and clings tighter to his body as the Jet-ski picks up speed. Chloe and Lois give each other knowing looks.
"Let's show these boys, we cousins know how to ride."
"Oh yeah! Sullivan and Lane style, Baby!" Chloe shouts, screaming as she takes off after AC. "Whoooo Hooooo!"
"Hold on, this is going to be fast." Lois saids, a smirk gracing her lips.
Clark leans up close behind her ear, smiling a wide toothy grin. "Bring it on, Miss Lane."
Lois smiles wider. "Whatever you say, Small-Ville."
She squeezes the handles tightly about to rev up the engine. "Clark!"
"What!" he yells back in surprise and shock by her out burst.
"What did I say about leashing up Clark Jr!"
Lois had him even questioning his own-self, and she knew it. He quickly checked over things, he was definitely turned on by her, what red-blooded, testosterone filled guy wouldn't be?Especially being wrapped behind her like this, but he knew he wasn't aroused in that region...at least, not yet.
"Lois! You know nothing is happening with..."
"...Clark Jr." she finishes.
"Will you stop calling "it" that!"
"I really don't see what the problem is, I'm kinda flatter by the whole thing."
"Uh! Lois, would you like it if I referred to your body parts as the Twins?"
"...Twins?" Lois brows furrowed, then realized quickly what he was talking about. Damn shower incident, she no longer had the Elmer Fudd leverage over him, they were even, both receiving an eye full of each others "goods".
She jams her elbow back into his side, he grunting like he felt it and wondering how she can withstand punching---hitting him at all, and not feel any pain. Like she would show it if she did, he figured she did, but Lois was never one to show any kind of weakness or anything out of characther...but he did have to question the last part, Lois was opening up more to him then she ever did before.
"If you ever refer to...you-know-what...as the Twins, again." Lois seethes. "You could forget all about me calling it, Clark Jr...cos you wouldn't have "one" to call, anything."
Clark cringes at the thought, not doubting she would rip him of his manhood. "So, no more Elmer Fudd highlights, then?"
Lois clamps her jaw together, sucking down her pride. "Fine...we're even...for now, anyway." arching up a brow, while her lips formed a sneaky smirk hidden from his view.
She revs up the motor, rushing off in great speed to catch up with the rest. Clark grips closer to Lois' body letting out a loud laugh as the rush he knew all too well, when he super-speed. This time being more thrilling, though he could have gone faster then the pace they were going, with his body wrapped around the girl of his heart.
In time, Lois pulls up their Jet-ski next to Chloe and Bart's, AC in front of them. Their hair whipping around in the wind as they soared in dangerous speeds. Chloe looks to her side, starring at Lois and Clark who glance back over at them.
"Come on lets race!" Chloe yell loud enough to be heard over the immense roar of the Jet-ski and wind gushing by.
"You're on, Cuz loser pays for breakfast tomorrow!"
AC slows down enough to pull back in between them. "Count me in!"
"Good, coz we're gonna kick ya guys ass!" Bart shouts, shooting AC in the face with a water gun, and starts laughing.
"Bro!" AC yells, surprised by the spray of water hitting his face. Bart throws Lana and Clark a water gun of their own.
"Let the war begin!" Lana laughs, squirting Bart in the hair.
"Yo, Dude not the hair! Pink One!"
Lana laughs then squeals as Clark and Bart gang her with the water fire. They then give passing looks between each other, getting the same ideal in mind. Lois yelps as she gets bombarded with the streams of water from Bart and Lana, everyone laughing at her reaction.
"Hey!" she screams. "That was so not cool!"
They burst with laughter but she pays them back by making a sharp turn, sending a large wave of water to crash over them.
"Now, that's how you do it!" Lois yells behind her, laughing at her own cleaver stunt, seeing the others get soaked.
"Don't you think you should be a little more careful? We don't have any life-jacket on, if you haven't notice."
Lois rolls her eyes. "Always the Boy Scout." she complains. "Stop worrying, I do know what I'm doing...Just enjoy the ride."
"If you say so...Miss Lane." Lois smiles as he wraps his arms tighter around her, his chin resting on her shoulder.
Lois groaned inside this closeness thing was killing her and now was so not the time for her mind to be clouded with impure thoughts, of strawberries, whip cream and one certain naked farm boy...
Chloe pulls up beside them, snapping Lois from her thoughts, her and Bart drenched by the wave Lois created. "You are so dead, Lo!"
Lois laughs giving Chloe and Bart a teasing smirk, she and Clark turn their heads to the other side seeing AC and Lana pulling up there.
"Is that all y'all got!" Lana quips.
"Yea, kinda expected more from a Lane." AC add to the playful insults.
"Hey!" Lois defends, giving them evil looks.
"Have to agree, Cuz looking a little rusty there."
"I'll show y'all rusty." Lois mutters, her hands grip the steers tighter revving up the motor and releasing, thrusting forward in high speeds.
They give chase behind her, zooming between and around other water boats. People shouting at them racing by, they coming too close to crashing in their cat and mouse game. Lois charges right between two sail boats, barely making it through. She laughs as she felt Clark's heart pound against her back.
"Too much thrill for ya, eh Smallville?"
Clark smiles uneasily. "Just don't do that again."
Lois laughs, speeding up more, Chloe catches up next to her, her eyes darting around for a missing pair.
"Where's AC and Lana?"
Bart spotting the two, points over to their left, turning their heads they watch as AC guns it toward a high ramp.
"He is not!" Lois gasps in shock.
"Yes... he...is." Clark answers for her.
"Lana is going to freak!" Chloe blurts out.
They watch in amaze as AC soars the Jet-ski up the ramp, getting great air and distance. Lana wide with fear, clings to him for dear life and screams her head off as they for a moment defied gravity, flying through the sky.
"Oh my God! She is so going to pass out!" Chloe squeals at the sight.
"Now, that would be fun to watch." Lois saids amused, receiving a bump from Clark.
AC and Lana come back to earth landing into the water with a huge splash, almost wiping out as AC fought to keep the Jet-ski under control.
"Whoa!" Chloe and Lois lets out, while Clark and Bart roll their eyes unimpressed.
"Wow." they say unamused, Bart pointing his finger in his mouth and makes gagging sounds.
Chloe and Lois shakes their heads at such immature, male ego, and turns their Jet-ski toward Lana and AC, racing over to them halted in the water. Lana looking green as if she would loose everything in her stomach.
"Oh my god, Lana are you alright?" Chloe ask with concern.
Lana gives a weak smile, one hand holding her stomach. "Just great...beside the part where I lost my lunch somewhere in the air...I'm fine."
Everyone jumps and heads quickly turns as Lois burst out with laughter, she was just finding every little disaster happening to Lana, too funny. Clark embarrassed by her action and since he was sitting right there, covers her mouth with his hand, but she only laughs harder behind it. When she settled down, she removes Clark's hand from her mouth and squeezes her lips together trying to keep from laughing.
Lana crosses her arms, her dark eyes glaring coldly at Lois, fed up with being some kind of amusing show for her to rudely enjoy. Lois not at all intimated by the Pink Princess, sets back her own steely gaze, lips displaying a challenging smirk.
Chloe's eyes go back and forth between the two girls, an uneasy look crossing the blond's face as Lois and Lana starred each other down.
"Come on, guys we still have a race to settle." she points out, turning the steers and zooming off.
AC follows suit behind her, Lana cocking up her brow at Lois as they drove off, then swings her head forward, the distance increasing between them.
Lois rolls her eyes and lets out a deep breath, the Pink One was definitely waning her last nerves and she had very few to begin with, with all that's been going on.
"Clark!"
"What! Clark Jr is leashed!"
"Good to know..." Lois smirks, amusingly. "...but not what I was going to say."
Clark rolls his eyes, mentally kicking himself for his slip of the tongue. "Then, what!"
"Hold on." She saids, showing off the Lane smile, with that said she charges forward in full speed, gaining distance on them.
Soon all three are moving at the same pace, dancing their Jet-skies wildly against the crystal clear, turquoise waters. Spending hours, as the scorching sun kissed their skins, hair whipping in the wind rushing pass them, thrusting forward at high notch speeds. Lois pushes ahead in great speed, leaving them far behind to choke on her torrents.
"See ya!" she shouts out as she speeds pass.
In the distance, an on-looker keeps careful watch on the friends interactions. He drops the dark binoculars from his eyes and places up his Cell to his ear.
"I have the target in sight, Sir." he confirms, in a low hushed voice.
Lex on the other line, spins around facing his expensive crystal desk in the study of his mansion. An evil toothy grin forms upon his lips, his dark eyes smiling menacingly.
"Good...you know what to do." Lex smiles, pleased by the info. "Do not get caught."
"Yes, Sir." the man answers, receiving his orders. He shuts his cell phone, then grips the wheel tightly to the speed boat he occupied, steering it to the desired direction.
Chloe laughs as Lois races ahead of them, swaying her Jet-ski from the stream of water Clark shoots from his water gun. Their speed increases and they're soon far ahead of them, shouting with victory over their gain in the lead. Chloe laughs at their childish act, and squeezes the handles tighter trying to catch up to them.
Her smile quickly fades when something catches her attention, making her heart painstakingly stop inside her chest. There in the distance a speed boat roared toward Clark and Lois, heading straight to their right side and not even slowing...
Fear strikings over Chloe and for a moment she couldn't seem to make a sound nor move a inch, but only sit there helplessly as the speed boat gained distance on Clark and Lois. Everything seem to go in slow-motion, her eyes went from the speed-boat to her Cuz and best friend, unaware of the impending doom heading straight for them.
Chloe gained of sheer determination gained control of her body, calling out the one name she knew would hear her.
"CLARK, WATCH OUT!...THE BOAT!"
Clark's super-hearing picks up Chloe's frantic cries, his head quickly turning to the side, spotting the speed boat just mere inches away from them and he wasn't the only one who saw. Lois sat there frozen, her eyes glued to the boat in wide fear as it neared them like a charging bull, ready to devour them.
Clark quickly wraps his arms around Lois' body, pulling her and himself off the Jet-ski, they submerging under into the safety of the water. Seconds before the speed boat collides with the Jet-ski they once occupied. The speed boat crushes it as it runs it down, and zooms off, not even stopping to access the damage or confirm the kill.
Clark along with Lois still in his arms, comes breaking up to the surface, sputtering out water and gasping for air. Clark leans back allowing Lois to lay against him, her head resting upon his shoulder as his arms snaked closer around her shaky body, protectively.
Lois turns into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck, she burying her face into his neck. Just wanting to feel his warmth, to feel safe, to feel his love again.
Seeing that boat coming for them, her life passed before her eyes and she saw all the things she coulda had with Clark. That moment before the impact, she believe it was the end, Lex had gotten his justice...
All the wonderful life events with Clark by her side would never get to be...and more then anything, right at that time, it scared her...it scared her to death.
Clark held her as close as he could, he never wanted to let her go. His worsts fear was almost tested, a life without her...a life without Lois. The thought alone mad his heart stop and restricted his chest from breathing, but only a few seconds ago, it was almost so.
He held her tightly, feeling her heart race madly inside her chest, against his own. Her warm breath, heavily panting against the crook of his neck.
Her fingers absently twirling in his wet, thick tresses. She doesn't cry, just breathes heavily, eyes closed, rubbing her face against his skin.
"You, okay?" Clark whispers against her ear, gently stroking her wet hair. Lois takes a deep breath, opening her eyes not wanting to see the darkness anymore.
"Yea, I'm fine." she saids, in a shaky voice, trying to keep it steady but Clark could still hear the fear inside.
They could hear sirens sound out in the distance, as well as their friends shouting for them. Clark waves his arm in the air to catch their attention.
Lois quickly pulls his arm down, cupping his face, she stares deeply into his blues. "It was an accident...nothing else."
"What?" he asked, confused by her statement.
"It was "just" an accident, Clark." she saids, slowly, her eyes pleading for him to agree.
He finally understood, she didn't want anyone to worry or get involved especially Chloe, who Lois knew would and will to no end pry into till she got answers.
Lois, in her own way was hitting that something was wrong, something wrong, that she knew all too well about, and the fear she try to hold back from crossing her face, only proved it so to Clark.
Their friends pulled up along the side of them, clearly shaken by the event and deathly worried about them.
"Oh my GOD! You guys okay?" Chloe first to ask, unable to keep from tearing up. From the distance she saw the crash, she didn't see her cousin and friend submerging into the water before the impact and the worst came to mind.
She knew she should have known better but seeing it happen, was too real to swallow.
Bart rubbed her shoulders, trying his best to clam her, Lois breaking up inside by Chloe's upset condition.
"Oh, baby please don't cry." Lois saids, grabbing Chloe's hand. "We're okay, Chlo, really. It was just some kind of freak accident."
Chloe face grows with rage. "Freak Accident! Lois, that maniac try to run you guys down, there is no way he couldn't have seen you!"
"Chloe we're fine, it was an accident, let it go."
Chloe looks at her as if she'd been slapped, she couldn't believe Lois was just trying to drop it like it never even happened. Chloe shakes her head, her face twisted in total confusion, trying to make sense of her behavior.
"Lois?..."
Chloe was cut off by the sirens blaring close by, the life guard boat coming up next to them to help in any way they could. The boat makes its way back to the pier, Lois and Clark sits silently next to each other, wrapped in blankets. Clark glances over to her, it was unnerving to have Lois so quiet.
She feels him starring and turns her head to meet his eyes. She gives him a small, reassuring smile but it doesn't ease the sinking feeling in Clark's stomach.
He was convinced more then ever now that Lex was up to no good. Anger burned inside, only a small flame but it was growing, Lex crossed the line and Clark was going to make him pay.
Lois looked down, she pushes her hand out from underneath the heavy, thick blanket hanging on her shoulders. Slowly she creeps her hand out, snaking it into Clark's hand, laying on the bench between them.
Clark looks down also, watching their hands wrapped together, his thumb caressing the side of her hand. His lips slowly forming a smile, her touch always had a way of soothing him like no one else could.
He looks up, his blues smiling into her hazels, his heart racing in that all familiar beat, whenever they were like this. Clark lets go of her hand, wrapping his arm around her blanketed body.
Lois lays her head back against his shoulder, taking in the comfort she was too afraid and too convinced, wasn't hers to enjoy. She slips her hand into his free one, his touch likewise a solace for her.
Almost being killed, but it seemed like now, his embrace made all the and wrong go away.
IF only it could be like this forever...Damn you, Lex!
As if feeling her fear, Clark holds her tighter, his hand entwined with hers as he whispered. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Lo."
"I know you wouldn't, Clark." Lois sighs, inside fearing more for his safety then her own...but, that was always her. She putted others before herself and when it came to taking care of things, she was the one that did it.
Clark, though had changed that, he became the security, the comfort she always tried to be for others. She was after all, a Lane, strong, independent, self-reliant, but when it came to Clark...now, she didn't mind letting go and letting him take care of her.
It was strange and new but everything she found doing with him was so. All that time fighting each other, it was nice to finally be in a somewhat relationship.
It was great to finally, freely be open with each other...on some things anyway, there were still stuff to get through and she hoped that the chance for them to be together, hadn't gone as quickly as it came.
Clark smiles, he loved hearing his name coming from her mouth, he loved just holding her in his arms. He had to keep pinching himself every then and again to make sure he wasn't dreaming and he hoped the rest of what they could have together won't end up just as such...a dream, never to come true.
The rest of the way back to the dock, they sat in silence, Chloe and the others following behind. The weight of the scare heavy on mind, having no choice now but to think about the fear they try to put off.
Something big was coming, they could feel the heaviness of it in the air and no matter how hard they try to think other wise, this had the stench of one person too much to deny, who was behind it all...
A different game had begun, and it appeared that Lex had made the first move...setting off things in motion.
To Be Continued...
Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a nice tip behind...lol
