He had to smile, a few minutes later, to see Lois Lane, wife of the third-richest man in the world, eating his mom’s casserole from a plate on her lap as she sat on a shabby old sofa in a dump of an apartment. And yet Lois didn’t seem to mind. On the contrary; she acted as if she were completely comfortable, as if her surroundings were as luxurious as she was used to.
Awww!!!
Clark laughed. “It is, isn’t it?” Turning, he saw the awe on her face, and he stilled. It was kind of incredible, he thought. He’d been so accustomed to what he could do for so long that he forgot how much the stuff of fantasy his powers must seem to someone else.
Awww!!!
“You’re really something special, do you know that, Clark Kent?” Lois said, a wondering note in her voice. “You don’t know how much I wish I’d met you a year ago.”
Oh!!
His breath caught. He so badly wanted to catch her hand and tug her back to him so that he could kiss her properly. What did it matter if she was still married? She had no intention of staying married. And he loved her, so it was hardly as if he’d be taking advantage of her.
Yeah, go fot it anyway!! <g>
“Yet you told me,” she said softly, struck with the realisation of how privileged she was.
Awww
Her judgement had been incredibly flawed when it came to Lex, all the same. Which troubled her now; could she trust herself when it came to Clark, too?
See, I knew this would come into play... though I'm actually pretty confident that Lois can continue working things out, her feelings for Clark. Yay!
Okay, either that was a slightly shorter part, or I was so wrapped up in reading, I forgot to comment on nearly everything as usual. <g>
Oh... and reading the comments folder... I'll have to agree with Jill whole-heartedly!!
One issue, though...while I adore Clark and greatly respect his ethics and morals....I'm going to have to hurt you if you don't stop taunting us with these non-kisses!!!!! For the love of God, you're killing us (and Lois) here! Hurry up and make with the smoochies!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily for me, I don't have to wait to read the next part... and the part after that... and...
