The Kent Residence

"Hey, Mom, what are you doing?" Clark came into the kitchen and gave his mom a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi, Clark, I have some visitors coming this evening." He noticed how busy his mom was. These visitors must be really important. She looked really thrilled. "Honey, do you mind helping please? I need to make sure everything is perfect. And, Clark, stay home, I want to introduce you to someone special. Okay, Son?"

"Oh no, Mom, please leave me out, you know I really don't like to join in with your political discussions," he tried to explain.

"No, honey, they are not politicians, I promise you'll enjoy their company. By the way, did you talk to Lois?" she said, trying to change the subject.

Martha noticed the change in her son's face, but that expression changed to a worried look.

"I tried, Mom, but she keeps avoiding me. And... and there was this new guy with her; I think she's already dating someone, Mom. I thought she liked me, but she's already moved on even before we start something. I lost her, Mom."

"Oh, honey, if she has feelings for you she'll come around. Just give it some time. Trust me, Son, everything will be fine," she replied. She wanted to tell him that Bruce was not Lois's boyfriend but her cousin, but she kept silent, In a few more hours he would find that out for himself.

A Few Hours Later….

Bruce and Lois arrived. Martha checked everything was okay. She'd invited them for coffee, but she knew Bruce would leave before dinner, according to their little plan.

The couple came inside. Lois was dressed in a casual short dress, low cut, showing off her perfect figure. Martha thought that poor Clark was going to be really jealous, with Bruce holding her like that, yep, definitely jealous.

"Lois, Bruce, welcome, dears. Please take a seat. I'm so glad that you could make it." She gave a motherly hug to each.

"Of course, Martha, I gave my word," said Lois. "How could we miss your famous coffee?"

Clark did not use his super-hearing. He really didn't want to take part in his mother's business discussion, but she really wanted his company. How could he refuse his mother's request?

Martha excused herself and went to the kitchen. "Clark, Son, can you help me to arrange this?"

"Sure, Mom."

Martha smiled and then rejoined Bruce and Lois.

"Sorry, I was just checking everything was okay. So, Bruce, how is Kansas?"

"Okay, since I have my favorite cousins and Uncle Sam here. I really like it. I miss Gotham, but this town isn't that bad. I'm happy."

"Lois, why are you so silent? Are you alright?" Martha asked.

"Yes, everything's fine; my new boyfriend here's always with me, I'm so happy that he's in town. There's nothing to worry about."

Clark was about to leave his room when he heard Lois's voice. However when she mentioned about her new boyfriend, his heart broke into small pieces. Was she happy with him? How could Clark see her with someone else? He loved her so much. Wait a minute, did he just say that he loved LOIS LANE? OMG, he was falling for a girl, who already has a boyfriend. He needed to control himself. If she was happy he should be happy for her. This was going to be hard.

"Clark, Son, can you come here?" Martha called to him. He had to do this.

"Coming, Mom." He was coming. He could do this.

"Clark, honey, do you know Bruce? Bruce, this is Clark, my son. Clark, this is Bruce"

"Hei," they said to each other. Clark then noticed Lois. She was so beautiful. Bruce went back to the couch, sat next to Lois and put his hand on her shoulder.

Clark had had enough. He was about to leave.

"Bruce, do you mind checking that report I prepared for my next meeting at the Queens?" Martha asked.

"Of course, Martha. Lois, I will be right back. Okay?"

"Okay, Bru."

Bruce's phone rang. "Yes we will be there as soon as possible. Sorry that was my secretary. I need to go out for a little while. Excuse me, Martha, I have to run, but I promise I will be right back. Lo, it won't take that long. Okay?"

"Bru, I'll come with you. It's okay, Martha will understand."

"Lo, that's not good. I'm sure she must have taken hours to prepare this. I will be back before dinner, honey." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Clark, could you take care of my cousin, I really don't want to leave her alone here. Please take good care of her till I come back. Martha, I am so sorry"

"It's okay, Bruce. We'll take care of Lois," Martha assured him. Bruce left.

Did Bruce say COUSIN? So he wasn't her boyfriend. Clark hadn't lost her.

Martha was laughing, Clark was still shocked and Lois was cursing Bruce's secretary.

"Mrs. Kent, could you please check the table?" came the voice of Martha's manservant, Michael, from the dining room.

"Yes, Michael," Martha replied. "Lois, I will be right back. Clark, why don't you show Lois our house? Lois, please enjoy yourself. I'm sure you'll find lots to do." Martha left the young couple alone.

Both were silent. They went to Clark's room, where, finally, Clark broke the silence.

"Lois, about the other day, I am so sorry, Lo. I shouldn't have left you. But you didn't give me a chance to explain. I never told anyone about your family. Lo, you have to believe me. I never broke your trust. I am sorry you had to go through that, but I have no connection with Lucas." He was so handsome, she was thinking. How could she be mad at those baby blues? She could get lost between them.

"Lo, Please believe me," he said, snapping her out of her reverie.

"I know, Clark. Martha explained it to me. I know you didn't do anything. Please forgive me. I also didn't give you a chance. I was so rude to you. I never saw it from your side. Sorry, Clark, I am so sorry."

They hugged each other. They seemed to fit each other perfectly. Lois felt like she was home, that here was where she belonged. Both didn't want to let go. They wished they could stay like that forever.

"So are we good? Friends?" Clark asked.

"Do you want to be my friend, Clark? Is that what you really want?"

"No, Lo, I want to be more than a friend. I like you very much. I know it's too fast, but would you like to go on a date with me?" Clark asked.

"Of course, how can I refuse when you asked like that? It is so sexy." Lois chuckled.

They spent more time together. They both were happy since there was no more misunderstanding. Clark took her around the house. Bruce returned and all had dinner. Martha was laughing inside, that she'd invited them for coffee but they'd ended up having dinner. She was happy about that. Eventually, Bruce said it was time to go. Clark really didn't want Lois to leave, but since he'd be meeting her again for the date he was happy.

Bruce noticed the interaction between his cousin and Clark. It seemed like they were good now. He was happy.

"I think we better go now, Uncle Sam will be worrying and Lucy will kill me if I don't get home soon. Clark, if you are free tomorrow you can join us. We have a small get-together between cousins. You can bring Oliver Queen too; I bet Lucy will be happy, but no Luthors."

"Of course I'll be happy to come and, yes, I will bring Oliver. It's good you've invited him. If he got to know that I went with the Lanes alone, he'd be sure to try and kill me," Clark explained and everyone laughed.

"Okay, we better go. Thanks a lot, Martha. See you again soon."

"Bye, Lois, Bruce."

Once Martha and Bruce went out, Clark grabbed Lois's hand and gave a quick kiss on her cheek. "See you, Lo, goodnight"

Lois was not expecting that. She blushed. "Goodnight, Clark." No way was she going to sleep that night.
