CHAPTER 13: THE HONEYMOON - DAY 2 (CONTINUED)

"Are you almost ready Lois?" Clark calls out to her.

"Just about," she replies. He finishes getting dressed and sits down on the edge of the bed. Then she comes out of the bathroom; wearing shorts and a tank top with a long-sleeved shirt over it that's rolled up to the elbows.

He gives her an admiring look as she comes out and walks over to him. "Let's go. I'm starving."

He gets up; taking her hand. "Okay," smiling at her as they walk out the door.

A few minutes later, they arrive at the central pavilion - which overlooks the lagoon. They notice a few couples already having breakfast on the terrace. "There's a table," Clark points out.

They walk over to it. Clark pulls out her chair and she sits down. As he pushes her in she says, "You're such a gentleman," she remarks with a smile.

"There's a very good chance that I won't be one later," he whispers in her ear. "But in a really good way," softly kissing her before he sits down.

The waiter comes over with a couple menus; handing them over as he tells them the specials. He leaves after they've placed their orders. "It's so beautiful here isn't it?" Lois remarks; gazing into Clarks eyes.

"It is, but it's not as beautiful as you," taking her hand and softly kissing her fingertips.

"Umm," feeling a tingle as he continues.

"You like that don't you?" smiling at her. She nods yes. "if you like that, then you'll love this," taking one of her fingers in his mouth.

She squirms a little in her seat as he gently sucks on her finger; the tingle in her body becoming a little stronger. He slides his chair right next to her; still moving his mouth up and down on her finger. His other hand moves under the tablecloth and rests on her knee; slowly moving up her thigh. She moans softly; closing her eyes when his hand slides under the edge of her shorts and makes its way to her inner thigh. His fingers come across an obstacle however. "Lois?"

She opens her eyes. "Yes Clark?"

"I thought we agreed to go commando on this trip?" a slight hint of disappointment on his face.

"We did," she reassures him. "But I want to lay out on the beach and get some sun after breakfast. So what you're touching is my bathing suit," smiling back at him.

He smiles back at her. "Now that sounds like fun," winking at her.

Before she could reply, the waiter comes over. "Excuse me," the waiter addressing Clark and Lois, "Would you mind if another couple joined you at your table this morning? All the other tables are occupied."

"I don't mind," says Clark. "What about you Lois?" he asks her.

"I don't mind either," she replies.

"Thank you," the waiter says. "We really appreciate it," waving over a man and a woman who promptly come over. "I'd like you to meet Roy and Judy Wilson. They're on their honeymoon too."

Clark and Lois both stand up. "I'm Clark Kent and this is my wife Lois Lane-Kent," he says. They all shake hands and sit down.

"Your breakfasts should be ready in about ten minutes," the waiter says with a smile; then turns around and walks away.

"So you're on your honeymoon too?" Judy asks Lois.

"That's right. We just got married on Valentine's Day," she replies; taking Clarks hand. "What about you?" she asks her.

"We got married on Valentine's Day too," she says; smiling at her husband. "We had a small wedding with just family and close friends. We didn't need a large wedding."

"We felt exactly the same," says Clark; turning to Lois. "Right Lois?"

"That's right," smiling back at him. "We pretty much had decided on that from the moment we got engaged. And we were lucky that everyone we invited was able to come."

"Same here," says Roy. "I was lucky that I was able to get two weeks off from my job," he remarks.

"What is it you do?" Clark asks him.

"I'm a volleyball coach for Beverly Hills High School," He replies.

"That sounds like fun," Clark remarks while taking a sip of his juice.

"It is fun. I really enjoy what I do," he says.

"And what do you do?"Lois asks Judy.

"I'm a history teacher at the same school as Roy," she replies. "We actually met at a volleyball tournament," smiling again at her husband. "He went to spike the ball and hit it at a wrong angle. Well I was sitting in the stands and it came right at me and hit me in the head. He rushed over to see if I was okay. He stared into my eyes and that was it. I was a goner. I just knew he was the one."

"I knew when I first spotted her in the stands. And to this day she thinks I deliberately hit it at the wrong angle - just to get her attention. But that's not the case. It was just a happy coincidence," taking her hand and briefly kissing it.

"So what do you two do for a living?" Roy asks them as he's cutting up a piece of fruit.

"We're both reporters for the Daily Planet," Lois replies.

"Really? That sounds exciting," Judy remarks.

"Well not every day is exciting, but just the possibility of it is enough for me," Clark replies; biting into a banana.

"Is that how you met?" he asks him.

"No..." Clark replies; hesitating for a moment while glancing at Lois. "We knew each other for a long time before we even started dating. He turns to Lois. "Why don't you tell them the story?"

"You sure?" she asks him.

"Sure," he replies. "They told us their 'how we met' story. It's only fair that we tell them ours," winking at her.

"Alright," she says. "It really is an interesting story," beginning to talk...

The lightning strikes her car; causing it to veer off the road and into a corn field. As soon as the car comes to a stop and the lightning storm subsides, she spots a naked man lying on the ground.

"Oh my God," she utters. Then he stands up; his back to her. "Are...are you okay?" When he doesn't say anything, she asks him, "What's your name?"

He doesn't turn around when he says, "I don't know."

"I need to get you to a hospital."

"I am fine," still not turning around.

"You've just been hit by lightning, you're stark naked and uh you don't even remember your own name. You have a fairly loose definition of fine." That's when he turns around.

"Look at his face," she mutters under her breath. "I have a blanket in the trunk. Don't move. I'll be right back," turning away and walking back towards her car.

"Wait," calling out to her. She turns back around to look at him. "Who are you?" he asks

"Lois," she replies. "Lois Lane."

"So you were naked when you met? That must have been some view," giving Clark an admiring look; who's face reddens slightly.

"He also had amnesia. He doesn't remember most of that night," Lois remarks. "But that's a night I'll never forget," lightly kissing him on the cheek.

The waiter comes over with their breakfast orders. For the next thirty minutes they eat and chat like old friends. "This has been fun," says Judy.

"I know I enjoyed it," Lois says with a smile.

"I hate to break this up, but Judy and I are going snorkeling this morning so we have to get ready."

"That's right," getting up from her chair. "I've been looking forward to it," standing next to her husband. "So what are you two doing today?"

Clark and Lois also get up from their chairs. "We're just going to relax on the beach and get some sun today. But we definitely want to go diving and maybe snorkeling later in the week," Lois tells them.

"Well in case we don't see you again, have a wonderful honeymoon and a long and happy marriage," Judy says; giving Lois a brief hug.

"You too," Clark replies; shaking Roy's hand.

"Bye," they both say at the same time; waving to them as they walk away. Then Clark stands behind Lois and puts his arms around her waist; nuzzling her neck. "Let's go back to our villa and get that sun you were talking about," softly kissing her. "I want to see you in that bikini," pausing for a moment, "or maybe less," whispering in her ear.

"Umm," tilting her head back and looking up at him. "Okay," she says with a smile. He lets go of her waist and takes her hand; leading her away from the table and back towards the beach...
