Just Close Friends

Part 2

*****

Lois woke grabbing the covers, she had the wildest dream that she had slept with Clark. The best fantasy was about Clark, but then she heard a groan come beside her. When she looked down at her clothes scattered across the floor then to the man next to her. "So it wasn't a dream" the smile spread across her face as she lay back down. Was this really happening "Lois and Clark the Iconic Couple" had a ring to it.

She decided to avoid the awkward morning scene, and decided to get dress. She took the covers and wrapped them around herself, glancing back at the beautiful image of Clark naked. Too bad he had to be sleeping the way he did, though she didn't mind looking at his backside. Seeing the curves on his body was beautiful, the muscular form of Clark Kent was to die for. Realizing she was distracting herself she continued to pick up her clothes and head to the bathroom. She needed a shower to get rid of all the confusion that took place yesterday. The warmth of the shower water would definitely help out a bit.

Clark woke to hear Lois in the shower he thought over going to join or giving her sometime to process everything, he decided to give her sometime but after the shower she was all his. Yesterday had to be the best night of his life, he had Lois without hurting his friend both Oliver and Chloe. Oddly he never saw that coming Chloe and Oliver, he was just glad he had Lois. Just in time Lois was stepping out the shower.

Lois finally had her thoughts together, Chloe and Oliver were together and she had Clark. Wow all that happened yesterday, maybe this will work out. Catching her off guard making his way behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist, she dropped her towel. Hello Sailor! "Clark! What are you doing coming up behind me like that"

"Thought you were used to it by now" he spun her around kissed her lips and pulled away slowly.

"What's gotten into you this morning?" she smiled at his aggressive behavior she loved it so much.

"Lois every since yesterday I just have an urge to be with at every moment" he brushed the strand of hair out of her face and leaned her lips into his. Just by his touch she went weak in her knees. "How about we get out here I want show you something?"

"Sure, but long as later on we meet up with Chloe and Oliver around 8 tonight? I'm pretty sure there together right now seeing how we spent our night they can't be that different"

"Deal, but for now how about you join me in a warm shower?" he smiled at her.

"Now how can I resist a face like that?"

Oliver stood outside the office a bit nervous getting words together he exhaled and took the knob in his hands and opened the door. "Chloe are you here?"

"In here Oliver!" she poked her head around the corner and walking to her Watchtower room. Oliver stepped in looking at her type away at the keys she was gorgeous. He admired her dress a bit fancy for an evening like this. "So what brings you by?"

"We'll I need to talk to you if you're not busy?"

"I always have time for Watchtower Business; I was just going to do some undercover scooping for Bart. He needed a bit of help with a project you assigned recently." She walked by him stopped as Oliver grabbed her arm gently stopping her in place.

"It's not work related, it's about that kiss" He walked in front of her but she couldn't look him in the eyes.

"Its fine Ollie it was just an accident, you're with Lois I understand it meant nothing" still leaving her head down toward the floor she really didn't want it to just accident secretly felt something for him.

"But that's the thing Chloe I thought I wanted to be with Lois again but after we kissed my eyes were opened." She looked back up at him.

"What are you're trying to say Oliver?"

"I want you Chloe!" she opened her mouth to talk but Oliver stopped her "Lois and I are no longer together she's with Clark now."

"So I'm you're what now… Rebound Oliver?"

"No… Chloe don't you get it I'm in love with you. I know you might not feel the same but I know I wasn't the only person who felt something that night we kissed. Lois told me to come here tonight and talk with you, she encouraged and threaten… me to come here and be with you" he looked at Chloe's face her eyes watered she turned around.

"Oliver you're right you weren't the only person who felt something. But we can't be in a relationship; I mean how can we when you were dating my cousin just yesterday. I know you Oliver you think you can have any girl you want. Well not this one, I'm not going to be one of your chicks like Dinah, Tess, or even Lois. Oliver I'm your watchtower nothing else are relationship has always been business related, let's just be adults and keep things professional." She wiped her eyes attending back to the computer, every bone in her body wanted him, but due to her previous relationship she couldn't act on her feelings.

Before she could say another word Oliver turned her around kissed her passionately. He remained against her lips, she didn't resist he noticed she was crying. He wanted to take away both their pain. He pulled away slowly wiping away the tears that fell against her face.

"Chloe just give us a chance."

"I'm sorry Oliver I can't" she grabbed her purse and ran out. He regretting not going after her, he stood there looking at the watchtower room he quickly hit the button closing the door. Looking at the table he saw a picture of her and Jimmy and then beside a newspaper with Davis Bloom. Maybe she just needed time. He walked to the exited turn off the lights he left. Tomorrow he would give it another try; he wasn't going to give up on Chloe, not without a fight. He needed to prove to Chloe that she wasn't a prize to be won, just a lover who needed to be loved.

He banged at the door after trying her cell too many times he lost count she was there just wasn't going to answer.

"Chloe I know you're there please open up" he pleaded and after waiting all morning long he gave up for today. Turning around and walking to the end of the hall the door opened. He looked to see if his mind was playing tricks. Blinking twice, it was open he walked in to see Chloe with an irritated look.

"What do you want Oliver? If it's about yesterday we can forget it ever happened" she walked over to the coffee machine and poured a cup "Want any? You have been standing at my door all morning?"

"Well seeing how this conversation might go I think I'll take something a bit stronger, if you even have anything else?" he smirk at her a she looked annoyed by his words.

She pulled out a bottle of Scotch from the bottom cabin. "I guess this counts as a special occasion" she smiled at him and walked over to him as he admired his watchtower.

"You really do amaze me Chloe after Jimmy's death I sunk myself in pity, but you just stuck by everyone's side and helped everyone through. Lois she's always been one of the strongest women I've ever met until now." He took the glass and set it down and then did the same with hers. "Chloe I'll wait as long as you need"

"Thanks Ollie, but I just don't want to be committed right now" she watch the disappointment spread across his face "But I would be willing to take things slow." She did have time to think last night, she urged Clark to do what he wanted and stopped crying over Lana, it was time for her to let go and do what she wanted. Then the smirk spread across her face he pulled her close. His lips inches away from hers "Does this qualify as slow" he kissed her not slow but not hard it was passionate. She moved forward wrapping her arms around him.

Her emotions were going wild at just one kiss. Jimmy was great and she could say Clark had his way with his lips, but Oliver kissed her like there was no tomorrow. His arms guided her body against the wall as he placed both of her hands against the cold hard surface. He pressed himself against her; she loved the feel of his hard rock abs against her body. His mouth opened against hers, she allowed their tongues to taste each other. She swore they were sweating the heat between them was too much. Oliver finally pulled away leaving a soft last kiss against her lips. "Maybe a little too fast… but I think with some practice I can slow you down" he grinned at her words and went for another kissed but met the wall as she redirected body from beneath him to the open space.

"Mr. Queen I believe you and I have an appointment for lunch" she smirked at him. "We can have lunch slow and dinner well we see how things go" she walked to her room and closed the door.

"I can do slow, I think?" he fixed his shirt up and watched Chloe come back out. "So what do you want, we can fly New York for dinner?"

"Ollie I appreciate the special treatment, but how about we just go to a café?" she walked out the door and stop to notice he was still standing there. "Well are you coming?"

"After you" he was amazed again by her, of course she was different from the rest why did it take so long for him to realize it. He followed her out to the elevator where he kissed her soon as the doors closed.

Lois got out first grabbing a towel to wiped down her hair, she looked back to see a grinning Clark looking back at her. "I think I've started something bad with you" she smiled at how he came up behind her and caressed her neck with his lips, letting a small moan escape her lips "Are you sure someone didn't slip you some red kryptonite or something" she turned around and looked into his eyes all clear before she kissed him.

Taking an hour just to leave the bathroom and another hour to get dress they finally were ready to leave. Clark promised Lois to close her eyes as he super sped her. Guiding her as they stopped, Lois tried to speak but was silenced as Clark walked them to the center of the area. "Okay Lois you can open your eyes."

Her eyes greeted the icy fortress of solitude. She listened as Clark called out Jor-el name. "Jor-el isn't that your biological father?"

"Yes"

"Kal-el my son you have returned and you've brought a friend, Lois Lane?"

"Yes, you know my name?" she asked curiously.

"Kal-el has thought many things about you, it time he finally discovered part of destiny… You're one of the reasons he became distracted with his training he never you were a part of it."

"Wait I'm part of Clark's future?" She looked at Clark.

"Indeed Ms. Lane, Kal-el you have made your mother and me proud she hoped that you would meet your soul mate, she knew Lois Lane would be perfect for you."

"Lois means a lot to me, she inspired me to do my training." He took Lois hands into his, she smiled at him.

"You're future's are bright, It was nice to finally meet you Lois Lane" the voice was gone and a breeze flowed through the fortress.

"Goodbye? Does he always sort of exit like that?" she smiled at Clark.

"Kyptonians weren't real emotional another reason why my parents chose earth, he seems to like you" she smiled it was good to know she was approved by his heritage. She was still very cold and she shivered "I forgot the temperature doesn't affect me" he grabbed her and super sped them to the barn.

"Thanks, but we really have to get you flying" she smirked at him as Clark placed her on the ground. "Don't get me wrong the speed is great, but we have to step it up Clarkie you can't let Kara have all the fun." She started walking towards the barn.

"Lois must you make fun of everything I do?" she turned around and smirk at his words.

"If I don't, who will Smallville?" she shot her fist for his shoulder, but this time he caught her arm pulling her into him. He kissed her grabbing her into his embrace he sped them to the barn falling against the hay. "Well Clark what do you suppose we do about us I mean it's not normally for a partner's to date and work together. I mean we have to think what our co-workers will say we'll be the talk of the bullpen" never did she think she would use her job for an excuse. The commitment to Clark was so much, for the first time she was beyond nervous Clark had that affect on her.

"Then let them talk Lois I want you and I to be together and gossip is not going to stop me from having you" he moved the hay from her hair and kissed her before she could speak she didn't refuse instead she let him take charge. No worries with Clark right?
