Hi Vic!
Lois used to doodle the 'S' on her pad … now she doodles something else.
So…married Lois not wanting to cause an SLaV-situation?
"So … uh … Myerson. You're on the 'Mayor may be gambling away the city's money' story?"
That’s what they call ‘investing the money’ these days.
"Peterson. You better have that football cheating scandal to me by end of play today or so help me..."
Married star quarterback cheating on his mistress with a random bar skank?
"Lois … darlin'," Perry leaned over and rested his elbows on the table. "Dock fires," he spoke in a gentle, but slightly condescending tone.

What’s up with her? She gotten blue stripes on her stick or something?
just as soon as he's back from taking his neighbour's dog to be put down."

She knew if she were to turn back a few pages there would be some pretty damning evidence of her current state of mind.

Racy drawings of her and Clark?
along with months of carefully studying his chest … um, the symbol on his chest.

If she doodled them together on her pad then it meant nothing more … really … it meant nothing.
Yeah…right.
It was crystal clear that linking a capital 'C' and capital 'K' with a double 'L' meant everything.
A couple of months ago…it means that Clark Kent is out to get Lex Luthor :p
Only last week she'd doodled it for the first time, pretending to be signing her name. It had kind of been an accident, expanding on the LL and CK fully, except … a couple of words got missed. Accidentally.

Lois widened her eyes in shock, looking up at her partner, and then spread her fingers out to cover her notepad.

Either that, or an equal response. Something she could do which would have the same reaction in him. Something to set his heart pounding, maybe start him on the road to thinking of her differently.

He brought up his hand to his neck and winced momentarily before recovering from the shock and grinning down at her.
So…he saw?
"Oh, Clark, I'm sorry." She stood up from her seat, apologising profusely. Her pen dropped from her fingers to clatter back onto the desk.
Oh. She stuck the pen into his jugular vein?
Lois licked her thumb and then began to swipe at the blue mark. Pressing as hard as she dared, and rubbing, had no effect. "Grrr," she growled and wet her finger even more, to try again.
:rotfloL:
Lois looked up and frowned in confusion. She shook her head and let out a tiny laugh as she replied. "Ready." Either the pen wouldn't come off, or Clark had forgotten what he was visiting the restroom for by the time he got there.
Uh-oh. Now Superman is out there, a marked man.
As they both approached the steps up to the elevator, a little snippet of a scene played out in her head. She saw Clark pushing open the door to the men's room, striding in then stopping in confusion. 'What am I doing in here?' came the softly mumbled thought. She saw Clark shrug and then turn into a stall. 'May as well take the opportunity,' was his next comment.

He could suffer embarrassment all day as penance for nearly finding out her deepest secret.

He could stay like that, and every time Lois saw that pen strike she would be able to find a little strength to counter the insane attraction she felt for him.
Yeah…right. Or the need to scribble ‘Lois Kent’ onto his neck.

Fun start! Looking forward to going through the rest.
