Chapter Eight Part One- Party Preparations:
Martha and Jonathan Kent had left their farm only hours ago in hopes of enjoying a nice romantic getaway in Metropolis.
Clark as always was left in charge of picking up the slack and making sure that the house remained in its current state, there was nothing left for the young kryptonian to do but…chores.
He had barely started hauling the hay into the hayloft when the sound of Whitesnake reached his ears causing a small smirk to spread throughout his face.
The jeep pulled to a stop and the music died out, Clark continued working on hauling the hay when a loud voice called out, "Hey Smallville."
Lois stared up at him with her usual warm smile despite the fact that she was currently balancing two slightly heavy boxes in her arms, "You wanna give your girlfriend a hand or am I gonna have to pull out the kryptonite." she sets the boxes down on the workbench and heads back out towards the jeep only to have a red and tan blur sweep past her along with a gust of cold wind.
"Done" Clark leans against the boxes with a cocky smirk on his face, Lois couldn't help but smile and shake her head while shutting the trunk, "What brings you to my neck of the woods?" he asks walking from the boxes towards the stacks of hay.
"We're having a surprise party for Chloe's 18th birthday in your barn, remember?" she begins pulling out streamers and old Christmas lights she had "borrowed" from her uncle Gabe.
Clark's body immediately went still and the tiny voice inside his head went off saying, 'How could you forget Chloe's birthday?' he turned towards Lois sporting a small apologetic look on his face, "Were gonna have to throw it someplace else." before he could say anything more, Lois crossed her arms over her chest and gave the same look that mirrored General Lane's when he first met Clark.
"This is my little cousin's 18th birthday and unless the sky is falling then there should be no reason why we have to move the party elsewhere." she turns back towards the boxes unaware of the nervousness that plagued Clark at that moment.
"I have a guy from Princeton coming over." he says softly waiting for the oncoming explosion of confusion.
"Princeton?" she turns back towards him confused, "I thought you were gonna attend Met U with Chloe, why the sudden change of heart?"
Clark takes a nervous breath before replying, "I wanted to keep my options open, Princeton is one of the best Ivy League school in the US and it would give me the opportunity to explore outside of Kansas." he takes a step towards her, "I just want to do what's right."
She nods, "I guess I could see your point and if that's where you want to go, then I wont stop you from achieving your dream."
He frames her face with his hands and smiles sweetly at her, "I knew there was a reason that I fell in love with you." he jokes before pressing his lips to hers.
It had been a couple weeks since they last saw each other, Lois was caught up most of the time at the Daily Planet and unable to make her way down to Smallville while Clark had the farm, school, the torch, and learning to control his flight ability which has only been in a hover stage.
Pent of wants and needs between the two caused their kisses to go from sweet to passionate, their jackets were soon left to be forgotten on the barn's floor.
Lois found herself pinned to a wooden beam as she reached toward Clark's red flannel shirt and practically ripped it open causing several of the buttons to go flying all around them, "That was my favorite shirt" Clark exclaims pulling away from her almost surprised by this latest move.
She laughs before pulling him back towards her, "I'm sure there's more where that came from." their lips continue where they had left off, Clark lips move from her lips down her neck causing a small gasp to escape her lips.
They moved from the pillar with Lois's shirt laying forgotten, the pair moved towards the stairs only to come crashing down when Clark tripped over the out of place wooden step that he never got around to repairing.
A small laugh escaped their lips until suddenly the young kryptonian scrambled off her, she stared up at him confused, "What's wrong?" she grabs her shirt and looks down to see the reason why he pulled away so quickly.
On both side of her hips, there were four distinct bruises that resembled fingers. "Oh" is the only word that escapes her lips while Clark grabs the white undershirt that Lois had practically pulled off of him when she ripped the buttons off his flannel shirt.
He cant help but chuckle at her reaction, "I leave bruises and your reaction is oh?" he turns towards her with the regret clear in his eyes, "I could've broken a bone or worse…" Clark shakes his head at the thoughts that plagued him.
Lois just walks towards him and places her hands on his chest, "I'm not some fragile little doll that needs special handling, if you can control your abilities then there should be no reason why you cant control them during a 'heated' moment"
"As much as I want to, the risk is too great for us to take."
She smiles up at him seductively, "So you admit that you want me."
Clark was about to respond but instead felt a shiver crawl up his spine when Lois found that spot where the chin met the neck, it's a spot she had discovered one night in her dorm during their weekend movie night.
"L-Lois" He stammers trying to fight the goofy look that threatened to spread across his face but eventually lost when her finger slipped into his dark locks.
Fear of losing control soon became to much for him as he immediately pulled away saying, "I've got chores to do…" he heads back over to the haystack, "I'll make sure to set everything up for Chloe's birthday."
Lois lets out a frustrated huff and quickly walks out of the farmhouse, "I guess I'll see you at the party." she hops into the jeep, "See you later, Clark"
The jeep pulls away leaving Clark to bang his head onto the stacks in frustration, "Nice going, Kent."
TBC…
I realize that I didn't explain the envelope thing that Lois got in Chapter 7 and I've decided that we'll learn what that letter contained in the next part. Point of View's change from Clark to Lois, mainly when the possession happens.
