Hi Sara!
This one is exactly 824 words!
and exactly 1000 when you add the a/n and summary?
I win! Regardless, I'm having far too much fun with these bowling stories, and a big part of that is how much you all are having reading them, so thanks!
LOIS: So she’s playing even if she wouldn’t win? Because she thinks losing is fun, too?
CLARK: No, Lois. The Author loves writing and entertaining her readers with fun and sexy tales.
CAT: Uh, uh, I can relate!
It’s been a week since the Daily Planet party at the bowling alley. A private bowling lesson for Lois might just help uncover someone’s secret...
Since she already knows he’s lying(sic) around in tights, it must be his taking-the-L-train thing.
And while she hadn't really wanted to put their...dinner on hold
She could have just taken a test drive after dinner, checked Cat’s is-it-domestic test and thus determined if her suspicions were correct. Could have been much more satisfactory than trying to win at bowling.
Now, here they were, and she was hoping desperately that her thundering heart wasn't — shoot, he probably could hear it
Clark probably thinks they should have gone to a place that's not right next to a construction site.
but then his hand came to rest on the small of her back and her heart calmed from thundering to the now-familiar fluttering.
Gaaawwwww…
Given all the romantic comedies she watched, she felt like she should have seen this coming. Known that showing her proper form involved him standing so closely behind her she could feel the heat from his body.
Yes, his…heat. Let’s call it that.
Then she rolled on her own, watching all the pins fall on a single throw, so excited she turned to him and threw herself in his arms for a ridiculously dramatic hug that left her heart racing.
Maybe she should have read the warning label about the unintended side effects of close partnering.
It felt magical as he captured her lips again and again, their tongues glancing briefly against each other.
You know, I'm not sure if Lois realized it, but they're having their first date right now. In a bowling alley.
And as their short breaths filled the space between them, she realized... "Wait, how are you breathless?"
Reverse revelation!
What was she doing? Making out in public…with Superman.
Looks like it’s time to calmly storm info the ladies room and slam the door in his face.
She stood up on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear. "Fly me home? So we can talk?"
/points at summary/ Looks like Lois is the ‘someone’. Also, did you ever read “I is for Illusions” by Pam J?
"I saw you last week," she said, her voice still a whisper because she knew he could hear her, "I thought Superman didn't cheat."
"I...wanted to see you smile."
Gaaaaawwww. And certainly something Sam never said to Ellen.
So, will we get part 5 now?
Michael
