Hi Lara!
Forgive me if I quote what others have quoted... I didn't read your fdk, just jumped right in here. <g>
and, adamant that there wasn't a Gala on earth that she could go to and not come back with some sort of scoop, Lois had had the very bad idea to turn this into a wager.
Hah! I sense something fun coming on. <g>
Lois Lane was staring defeat right in the eyes and she didn't like the look it gave her back.
Ooooh, nice line!
Not that she didn't want to dance with him - as a matter of fact, the prospect was very appealing - but her feet hurt and she really just wanted to go home
My feet are so aching in protest for her. I know exactly how she feels! I had a hard time dancing at my own weddding because my feet hurt so bad. Honestly, I tell my bride-to-be-friends to wear flip flops under their wedding dresses... no one sees your shoes anyway. LOL!
"Oh, I haven't gotten any more information than you have. But the way I see it, I can't possibly be a loser. You're dancing with me, after all."
Awwwwwwww!
She had to fight back the urge to lean in and kiss him right then and there. Not that she thought he'd protest or anything, but they were in public and she didn't exactly want a picture of them - lip locked on the dance floor - to end up in the social events pages of a competing newspaper.
LOL!!!!
Lois refrained from saying that, considering the sort of monster Lex Luthor was, even Dr. Jekyll would have made a better date. But that would probably have hurt Clark's feelings and he was just trying to be nice
LOL at the first part and then awwww, good for her for thinking of his feelings. <g>
"He can't hurt you anymore," he added, knowing this was probably where her mind was at. "Even if he wasn't in jail for the rest of eternity, I promise I wouldn't let him hurt you ever again."
Awwwww <sniffle>
Lois giggled softly, Clark's signing was way out of tune, but somehow she had managed to identify the song anyway. She hummed a few notes of it herself. "Is that it? Yeah, I remember that from Bugs Bunny."
<giggles madly and falls out of her chair> Me too! Me too! Totally know that from Bugs Bunny - how sad is that? <g>
"Ah, the things you learn from watching Saturday morning cartoons!" He laughed.
It's SO TRUE!!! LOL!
"He starts lying to her before he even knows her?" Lois asked, surprised. "Why would he do that?"
Clark gulped, a surge of guilt running through him at the thought that he was doing something quite similar with Lois.
Oooooh! I LOVE this!
"You alone, my love, can soothe my heart."
Lois closed her eyes. My love. A long shiver ran through her spine. For a second, she let herself imagine that there was no opera and that Clark wasn't simply translating.
<DJ melts into a puddle of goo>
Lara!!! I LOVE this!!! It's wonderful!...
Wouldn't you forgive someone you love for a few little white lies? "
"It depends." She shrugged.
"Oh?" Clark asked, his heart caught in his throat. What if she never forgave him?
<choke>
I'm glad I finally found a way to turn some of these ideas into a story and I really hope I didn't make to much of a mess of it.
NO! No mess at all!! It was wonderful! I definitely look forward to part 2 of the 3 part series. Yippee!!!
