Lois was back to their apartment , the one she was supposed to clean up with Clark .
She already planned everything . There was no way he was going to use his powers to place everything and do the painting .
She wanted them taking their time like a normal couple and have some fun together with love and complicity .
Lois already knew she could shared an amazing moment with her man . She was already picturing him , with his famous puppy dog eyes , to make her melt and she would give up and let him do all the apartment in super speed .
Either way , she would be able to talk about something important .
She leaned on the wall and looked at the empty apartment … too much empty .
Putting a hand on her heart , she couldn't dare thinking about any eventualities that her fiancé would never come back to her . He always came back so that wasn't today it would change .
She slowly down walking into the apartment and looked at the whole boxes which were waiting to be open .
By instinct she walked into the one with her Whitesnake pillow , the one Clark has teased her with , this morning . She took it and looked at it for so long and looked all around her .
There was a lot of work to do in that apartment , but perhaps it will help her to be less upset .
She put down the pillow and sat in front of the boxes and opening them , bit by bit . Then she did the same with the furnitures , studying for a while the apartment , trying to see which thing will be at the better place and will please Clark either .
She caught a paper and started to draw some plans to place the furnitures .
For that evening , she could only placed the couch and the table . She was too much tired to take care of anything else and reported it at the day after .
Their room was ready , the bed was there . There were only the drawers and the closets left , plus a little bit of painting and it will be good .
She took the box clothes that she brings into their room and looked for Clark's shirt that she dressed with . She didn't know how long he will be trapped so as a protection , she wanted to have his scent on her .
She took her pillow and goes to bed , hugging it and felt a tear crashed into her cheek .
She got used to his absences , sometimes with his heroic missions , he didn't come home at night or only at the end of the night and sometimes in the morning … But this time , she knew she wouldn't find him next to her even if deep down inside of her , she was hoping .
The day after , she was fully awake and alone as she thought . She decided to take care of the moving .
Walking by the window , she smirked , looking at the blue bird that her mum got with her father when she learnt about her first pregnancy .
After her breakfast , she got dress by putting an old Clark's shirt on her and an old jean too . She started to move all the objects , all the furnitures , cleaning to make this place , the most beautiful one to live .
She put the desk next to the door entrance , plugged the computer and the phone
. Then , she cleaned up all the books in the shelf . She put the telescope next to another window , knowing that her man had a thing for them and was still a pure dreamer and had to turn to the stars to feel better .
She placed as much as furnitures she can and mostly the ones in her bedroom , which where she painted a bit .
The apartment itself was already painted , just left some landscapes pictures to make the room brighter .
She ironed all their clothes and cleaned them up in the closet .
In the bathroom , she cleaned their toothbrush and also painted some walls which weren't already made .
All day long she was at home and was again very exhausted . She hadn't done yet and found there were lot of thing missing , mostly in the living room , something like a little table and a carpet next to the couch , but she didn't have some energy left for that , at least not today .
She knew that moving could be exhausted but she also knew , she didn't make too much efforts to be so weak … But their was a reason and she was aware of it ..
In the meantime , thinking about Clark and how much she was missing him , has certainly affected her much more than she could imagine .
She allowed herself to do a little nap and was only awaken by her phone vibrator , than made her jump .
She sat quickly and looked at Tess text which was saying that she could cancel the countdown .
So happy to read that , she didn't read the rest of the message which had a " but " .
She slid her phone in her pocket and walked faster to the tower .
