A taste of Chapter 9, Part 6...
Clark walked in, carrying an ice-cream cone. He must have found the parlor, too. He looked so good in those shorts. She rarely got to see his legs because he always had to hide the Superman suit. She drifted across the tub and leaned on her arms, watching him move around the room. He set his wallet, cell phone, and keys on the dresser. He hadn’t realized, yet, that he wasn’t alone. Or had he? As Clark passed her, heading again for the balcony, she couldn’t stop herself and whistled a cat call. He froze and turned around.
“Hi, there, handsome. Want to join me?” Lois smiled seductively at him.
Clark swallowed. “Hello, Lois.”
Lois looked him up and down. “You look good in shorts. You should wear them more often.” She licked her lips.
“Lois? Are you feeling all right?”
“Um-hmmm.”
“You want me to join you in the tub?”
Lois nodded.
“You do realize that I’m still mad at you, right?” Clark asked with a raised brow.
“Um-hmmm.”
“Lois, has the music messed with your mind?”
She shook her head. “I love you. I will always love you. And I know, somewhere deep inside all that pain you’re feeling, that you still love me. So, I was thinking that we could try a different kind of anger therapy.”
“That’s not going to happen,” Clark replied, walking towards their luggage. She watched as he pulled his thick book out of his travel bag and sat down on the loveseat.
