Authors Note: If I owned Smallville Lois and Clark would be the only characters on the show. I don't own Thriving Ivory either.
Sorry for the delay with this chapter but I ended up working on several other projects including my own book which took up my time. I hope this chapter will suffice.
For L,G and A
Happy Reading
Twilight.
The next few days were bliss for Lois and Clark. They spent the time on the farm just enjoying their new relationship. Chloe was doing research into Lois' attack and Lana had disappeared from their lives.
One night Clark got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. When he got back he heard Lois whisper "Clark. That you."
"Yeah" he whispered "go back to sleep Lois"
"Can't" she muttered "I'm awake now."
Clark sighed as he climbed into bed beside her "well how can we put you back to sleep."
"Let's talk for a bit" she said sitting up and resting her head against his side.
"About" he replied pulling himself up beside her.
"How did we first meet?"
Clark smiled "that's a long story."
Lois pointed towards the clock "we've got time."
Clark sighed "fine. We first met when you came to town to find Chloe."
"Why did I need to find Chloe?"
"We all thought she was dead."
Lois looked confused "but she's alive."
"That's right. Her death was faked."
His companion simply shook his head "fine. So how did we meet?"
Clark looked away "you were driving along when you saw an explosion in a field. Being the adventurous person you are you went to have a look and I was there."
"What were you doing in a field?"
Clark placed a finger on her lips "I'm not finished yet." he said mysteriously
Lois motioned for him to continue and Clark paused before speaking "I was naked."
Lois pushed Clark's finger away and laughed "you were what."
Clark rolled over and turned the light off "go to sleep Lois."
She reached across him and turned the light back on "come on Smallville" she teased "you can't leave the story half finished."
Clark rolled back over to face her "fine" he muttered "where was I."
"You were naked" Lois smirked.
"Yeah" Clark replied "but not only was I naked but I had amnesia"
"What" Lois said surprised "you're kidding."
Clark shook his head "couldn't remember a thing. I still can't remember much of what happened" he wrapped a hand around her waist "except one thing."
Lois laid her head on his chest "what."
"I remember standing in this field butt naked and suddenly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is standing in front of me muttering about looking at my face."
Lois looked up at him "me"
Clark smiled "you. I remember you running off to fetch a blanket and I asked your name. I think I knew then I would never be rid of you."
"But we didn't like at each at first right."
Clark shook his head "you thought I was an annoying farm boy and I was convinced that you were a self righteous city-slicker. My parents loved you though."
"But we got on eventually right" Lois asked.
Clark laughed and gestured around the room "I would say so."
"But how."
Clark rubbed his head "I'm not really sure. I guess we just got used to one another. I mean we ended up spending so much time together that we adapted to the other's quirks."
Lois yawned "I guess that makes sense."
"Tired"
Lois shook her head "not yet. Tell me another story."
Clark grimaced "what do you want to know this time."
Lois rolled over so she was looking directly at him "when did you fall in love with me."
He looked away "that's not a good story Lois."
"Come on" Lois complained "was it before or after my amnesia."
"Before" Clark said slowly.
"See that was easy. Now tell me the rest."
"Fine" Clark said finally "but get comfortable cause it's a long one."
Clark was working on the tractor when he heard someone enter the barn. Looking over he saw it was Lois.
"Hey Smallville" she said walking up with a to-go cup of coffee in each hand.
"Hey Lois" he said uncertainly "what are you doing here."
"Just thought I'd come over to see you" she said quickly "this is yours by the way" she added passing him one of the cups."
He took a quick sip "double mocha latte with a cinnamon twist" he said slowly "what do you want Lois."
She looked away "why do you assume I want anything."
He held up the cup "this is your bribery coffee."
Lois sighed "I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to Metropolis."
"Why."
"Cause I need your opinion" she replied leaning against the wall.
"Again I ask why."
There was another sigh "I've got a date tonight. I want to get a new outfit and I need a man's opinion."
"Couldn't you ask Ollie?" Clark asked
Lois shook her head "No. Things have been awkward with us recently
Clark looked up "It's not that guy from the Planet is it."
She nodded "yeah he asked me yesterday."
Clark began walking to the loft "couldn't you ask Chloe to go with you."
Lois ran in front of him "please Clark I bought you coffee remember."
Clark sighed and turned so he was walking back towards the house "fine" he said "let me get my coat."
"That's when you fell in love with me" Lois interrupted "cause I bought you coffee."
"It was very good coffee" Clark pointed out "but no. I haven't reached the end of the story yet."
"Sorry" Lois said "carry on."
Within an hour the pair were in Metropolis. "So what are we looking for" Clark asked "anything particular."
Lois looked around the crowded Mall "well Ollie told me he taking me to that new restaurant by the bay so what do you think."
"It's expensive" Clark said "so probably something really fancy."
"You're probably right" Lois said "I think I know just the place" with that she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the escalators.
A few minutes later Clark was sitting outside the dressing room as Lois changed. Every few minutes she would come out wearing yet another outfit. He would give his opinion and she would disappear to try something else.
"Woman hey" a man sitting near him said.
"Yeah" Clark replied not really listening.
"I mean your wife must have tried on like ten different outfits already."
Clark looked up at this "she's not my wife. She's just a friend."
"Oh I'm sorry" the man said "my mistake"
"It's alright" Clark said "happens all the time."
"Did it" Lois interrupted again.
"What" Clark asked confused.
"Did people mistake us for a couple all the time?"
Clark nodded "we couldn't go out together without someone saying something."
"Why do you think that was" Lois asked.
Clark shrugged "I guess its cause after we learned to get on it was rare for one of us to be seen without the other. We spent so much time together and bickered so much that its not really surprising people thought we were together."
"We'll we are now aren't we."
Clark nodded "now can I finish the story."
Lois nodded "carry on."
Clark was bought out of his reverie by the sound of Lois voice. "Smallville" she said.
He looked up and his jaw dropped. Lois was wearing an off the shoulder gown in deep red that complemented her hair perfectly.
"What do you think of this one" she asked.
"It's……beautiful Lo" Clark said slowly.
"You think it'll do."
He nodded "You'll blow him away."
"Good" she said "give me ten minutes and we'll go get lunch."
Sitting in the food court the pair were chatting when some boy's came up to them.
"Hey Beautiful" the lead one said ignoring Clark "want to join us."
"I'm good here thanks stud." Lois replied turning back to Clark.
The boy grabbed her arm "come on" he said "you'll have a lot more fun with us."
Clark stood up and wrapped an arm around Lois shoulder "she asked you to leave."
The boy looked up "what are you going to do Farmer John"
"This" Clark said before punching the boy in the face.
Later that night Clark was sitting on the couch when he heard someone knocking on the door. Standing up and opening it he found Lois on the other side. "Lois" he said surprised "what are you doing here."
"Can I come in" she asked nervously.
"Sure" he said moving out the way "how was the date."
"It was a disaster" Lois replied "he did nothing but talk about himself all night. I don't why I even agreed to go out with him."
Clark pulled down with him onto the sofa "I'm sure one day you'll find the right guy for you"
Lois breathed out slowly "I guess your right. Can I stay here tonight?"
Clark smiled "sure Lois. I'll go and get the room ready."
"Thanks Clark" Lois replied "for everything." Then dropping a light kiss onto his lips she made her way to the bathroom.
"And that's when you fell in love with me." Lois asked again when Clark finished speaking."
He nodded "But a few days later you got back together with Oliver and things got a bit crazy."
"Well you've got me now Smallville" Lois said rolling over "and that's all that matters.
The next morning Clark got up and looked down at a sleeping Lois. She was even more beautiful asleep than she was awake.
Walking down stairs he remembered the aftermath of the story he had told Lois. He had woken the next morning to find Lois gone a letter left on the table. That had been the day he had admitted to himself that he loved her.
Sighing he reached across for the radio and switched it on before working on breakfast.
I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
But I still talk about you though and wonder
How your life will unfold
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Show me what it looks like
I recall driving home, this ain't gonna hit me till God knows when
You know I feel it in my bones and I wear it on my skin
But there ain't no use in right or wrong
A heart must go where it belongs
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line
Singing I could be yours if you would be mine
Come on grow old with me and surely you'll see
And I remember thinking, boy you must be dreaming
So hold on, hold on, before it's all gone
And I do remember thinking that your world would go on spinning
Without me now, so c'mon on, c'mon please
Show me what it looks like
Outside you window at twilight
Show me what it looks like
Outside you window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line
Singing I could be yours if you would be mine
Come on grow old with me and surely you'll see
I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
Just as he was frying the eggs he heard someone knock at the kitchen door. Looking up he saw Chloe standing at the window. Opening the door she stepped through.
"Keeping up the breakfast tradition I see" Clark quipped.
Chloe said nothing instead looking around "is Lois up" she asked seriously.
Clark shook his head "no why."
Chloe put a stack of papers on the table before turning to Clark "the people who attacked Lois. They've been arrested."
