CHAPTER 8 - Cousins Get Together

Lois and Lucy arrived at the café with Bruce. They thought having dinner out would be nice. Clark and Oliver were already there; Chloe and Jimmy would be joining them later since both were at Gabe Sullivan's house that day.

"Hey, Clark, Oliver," Bruce greeted the two guys. Lois and Lucy came behind Bruce and joined the crowd.

"Hi, Clark, Oliver," both girls said.

Bruce sat down; Lois took the seat next to Bruce and Clark sat next to Lois. Lucy and Oliver sat together. Bruce was busy looking at the menu. Lois and Lucy were giggling and kept looking at the entrance. A tall figure entered. Lois waved and the figure came toward them and stood next to Bruce.

"Hey, Bruce," a girl said. He froze.

"Dinah, what are you doing here?"

"So, I take it that you're not happy to see me. Fine, I'll leave"

She was about to turn away. Lois and Lucy were giggling at the way their strong BIG cousin was like a puppy around the girl. Lois and Lucy had thought it was time for them to get involved in Bruce's love life, since he would never in a million years get round to asking Dinah out. That's why they'd planned for her to meet them today. But they did warn Dinah that Bruce would act like an idiot, so she decided to have fun with him by pretending to leave. Bruce stopped her.

"No, Dinah, it's not that I'm not happy to see you, just surprised. What brings you here? I mean, last time I checked, you were in Gotham," Bruce replied nervously.

"I see you're in Kansas. Last time I checked you were in Gotham too. So, what brings you here?" she asked in reply.

Oh man! Women. Bruce was sweating. He saw Lois and Lucy were giggling. So, you two are behind this. I'll catch up with you later. Now, face the beautiful lady in front of you, Bruce, you can do it.

"Dinah, please have a seat. I'll introduce you to my friends. These are Lois and Lucy, my cousins. You need to be careful when you're around them," he teased. "This is Clark Kent and Oliver Queen, my friends. Guys, this is Dinah Lance, my...ahh, my... She's from Gotham." He was thinking of introducing her as his girlfriend, but he wasn't sure whether she had feelings for him, so he just skipped that.

They talked about their past week. Dinah explained about her life and Bruce was really interested in the conversation. Lois and Lucy though they better give some space to the couple, so Lois and Clark and Lucy and Oliver went to dance.

Clark kept staring at Lois. She giggled. "What?" Clark asked.

"You've been staring at me for ages now," Lois replied.

"Of course, I'm staring at this beautiful lady in front of me."

"Sugary words, Kent. You have something in mind?" Lois asked.

"Is that a question or a statement, Miss Lane?"

"What do you think, Mr. Kent?"

"I think you're blushing," he teased her. She turned red.

"No, I am not, Kent."

"Yes, you are, my lady. I can feel your heartbeat racing. Do I make you nervous?"

Lois was melting. "Me, nervous? NO. You wish, Kent. I am a Lane, you don't make me nervous. But you make me scared, Clark. I'm scared that I'll lose your friendship."

Clark was shocked that Lois admitted fearing that she would lose him. He had a similar fear that he would lose her. What would he do without Lois? She was more than a friend to him. She might think of him as a friend, but she was becoming everything to him.

"Lo, no matter what, you will not lose me. I promise. You are more than a friend to me, Lo. I know it's too early to say this, but I'm falling for you and I'm happy about that," he answered, looking directly into her hazel eyes. She knew he was telling the truth.

"I like you too, Clark… more than a friend. I'd like to take next step with you."

They looked around to see Bruce and Dinah lost in their own world. "Looks like mighty Bruce finally admitted his feelings." Clark chuckled.

"Clark Kent, did you call my cousin MIGHTY BRUCE? You better watch your tongue, buddy. He is my cousin," she warned.

"Sorry, Lo, I didn't mean to insult him. But you know when it comes to LOVE, guys are very scared to express their emotions. Bruce is just the same."

"I know you didn't mean it, Clark. I was just having some fun. I'm so happy that Bruce admitted his feelings. For that, Luce and I had to go through his old cell phone. Thanks to Alfred it was easier."

Clark leaned forward; he thought she might pull back. When she didn't, he brushed her lips with his own. She tasted like honey. Her lips were so soft. Lois pulled him closer to her body. She was melting. He was so gentle. Both were enjoying the moment. They shared their first kiss for what seemed like forever. Then Lois pulled back to breathe. Both were blushing and giggling.

They continued dancing, lost in their own world.

On the other side of the dance floor, Lucy and Oliver were enjoying each other's company.

"I'm glad that Mr. Wayne invited me to the dinner. It was great," Oliver broke the silence.

"Oh, please! Even if Bruce hadn't invited you, you'd have found a way to be here. I know, I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Queen," she teased.

"Really, Miss. Lane? And it's Oliver. Please, I am not my father. You calling me Mr. Queen makes me feel like I'm 50 years old. So it's Ollie or Oliver," he said.

"So, Ollie it is. Call me Lucy."

"Okay, deal. So, do you like Metropolis?"

"Yeah, I've started liking it here. Friendly surroundings and the people are very nice."

"Really?"

"Really."

All three couples enjoyed their day out, that turned into a DATE for each. Lois and Clark were still holding on to each other like they would never ever be ready to let go. Dinah slowly thanked Lois and Lucy for their little plan. All three girls became very close after that night.
