Oh, wow!!! This is so good!
I totally forgive you for not beta reading the next part of Begin the Begin. I know that's mostly my fault. I've left it so long you probably have to read the whole thing from the beginning again just to get back up to date.
But, never mind about that, I'm supposed to be talking about *your* story.
Lucy smiled at her older sister in amusement. "Oh, Lois, you already have met him. You see him all the time! But let's do something fun. It's pretty much the last time I've got before the wedding, and I could really do with a little party. You won't let me down, will you?" Lucy made her little lost puppy eyes at Lois. She knew exactly that her sister would budge under this look. And once again, she was proven right.
I love this! It sounds like Lucy must have learn the art of the puppy eyes from Lois. The look that she flashes at Clark all the time to talk him into things.
Sudden understanding made Lois' color deepen to the seventh shade of red. Superman's eye-color forgotten, she walked on in silence, caught in her own misery. When, oh when did the world decide to turn upside down?
When the two Laras decided to pick it up and play a little ball.
Double Trouble.
Half an hour later, Lois felt more or less human again. Wrapping the big towel securely around her body, she peeked out of the bathroom. When she found the bedroom empty, she quickly got dressed in her clothes. Her neatly folded clothes. Definitely Clark's work. Which was one more proof that he was indeed... gay. No reason to shirk away from even *thinking* that word, Lois scolded herself. Leaving the upper three buttons of her blouse unbuttoned, she walked into the living room.
Hmm, is this a test for Clark?
Lois looked after him. When he turned around, Lois had gotten a glimpse of her effect on him. It was an uplifting view, to say the least. It sure set her straight about her assumption about Clark. He definitely was straight. Lois couldn't help but grin at that. Suddenly, the day had become so much better.
And it appears that he's passed the test.
