She grabbed his wrist and pulled him past the doorway to the basement level, where people were less likely to interrupt them.
although I think Clark still does have a point about having to be hidden is not the same.
“Stop pouting. We agreed to this. You know the truth, and this is the last time I’m going to reassure you. The very last time,” she said in her ‘I’m serious’ voice as she put her hands on her hips.
I hope he is sufficiently reassured. On the other hand, she has not directly addressed the issue of meeting with Luthor with Clark before.
Clark hadn’t been pouting, but calling her on it would only prove her point.
So sticking up for himself would equal pouting?
“I trust you, Lois; it’s him I don’t trust,” he replied, feeling guilty for his earlier thoughts.
He does not trust her enough, really. Although Cat's poison does not help.
“We’re just friends, not even friends.
Clark:Were just friends to most people, Luthor is not someone you want as a friend.
I’m using him to get information. That’s all,”
Well, I guess this is true from a certain point of view, but I doubt Clark would agree "that's all" if he knew everything that Lois was plotting.
He tried not to let a smile tug on his lips, and wondered if she remembered her old S.O.S. codeword with Superman.
Hopefully she does.
“Promise me that you’ll call him that to his face if he lays one finger on you,” he insisted, knowing that Superman would be between them an instant later, windows or walls be damned.
Clark really should not know what that means, so Lois should protest, so Clark should start to wonder why she does not react with a "how do you know about that" here.
“Do you think I’d accept dinner with Lex, if I thought he would try to make a move on me?” she said.
Clark:Well, you do seem to get into a lot of danger.
“Us, hiding our relationship from the rest of the world, doesn’t mean I’m going to start dating other people, Chuck.
Clark:It sure looks like your dating Lex.
Lex and me, that’s strictly business, I promise.”
Hopefully Clark will actually hear her this time.
“I miss you,” Clark whispered, caressing her cheek.
Awww.
She nudged his shoulder with her fist. “You’d miss me less if you didn’t disregard the crumbs I keep leaving for you.”
What does she mean by this?
“Sorry,” he mumbled sheepishly. He glanced up and down the stairwell. They were alone. He lowered his mouth to hers. “It will never happen again.”
Wells and his unhelpful meedling. They would probably married by now if it was not for his talk of curses.
This is pure torture of Clark.
“We can wait,” she whispered, giving him another soft kiss. “We can wait until all this stress is over, Chuck. I don’t want to pressure you. You’re worth waiting for.”
I really hope I am right and Lois liedabout the night at the hospital. I do not expect Herb to tell Clark that he thinks his assesment is wrong. Of course maybe I have made Herb too much into a badguy. But he is responsible for torturing Clark.
He caressed her cheek, and wished he had the faith in him as she did. Then again, Lois didn’t know the truth about him or the curse.
Well, he is mostly half wrong. Lois knows enough about him that probably only the curse might change her views. And even if they did not consumate in the hospital I don't think she will accept the curse as real.
“Hey, how about we face those evil magicians together at the ‘Magic of the Night’ thing of Cat’s?” she suggested,
Wait, is the curse why Clark does not want to deal with magic?
running a calming hand through his hair. “We can meet there, if you’re afraid to arrive in my company.”
Clark:Lois, you are the one who doesn;t want to be seen with me.
A real date. Okay, a genuine date masquerading as a chance meeting between partners.
There is no lack of pretending in this story.
Someday, he knew he would have to let Lois go to lead a normal life with a man with whom she could have a full relationship.
although if he thinks Lois could ever send him away he does not get it.
It wasn’t an honest smile as the horror of that image refused to leave him.
You know, this makes me realize that the makers of Lois and Clark were less sadistic than they could have been. They could have actually showed us Lois dieing in "Soul Mates" and then had Wells show up. Although I am not sure the show could have survived that outrage. Soul Mates was weird enough as it was. But with the death only being a line from a ewspaper we could basically laugh in the show.
“Now, are we okay?” Lois asked.
I don;t think Clark will be OK again until Lois can convince him to stop fearing the curse.
