Interesting story. Sorry I am so far behind on the boards. I am sad that Clark is going to have to wait so long to marry Lois. ):
Well, in this story he doesn't mind so much ... at least at the moment ... and at least in his conscious mind. He's ignoring his subconscious and his heart!
Hi Vic! Looking forward to this nice, looooong story!
Long! Don't be getting me confused with Virgiana! LOL.
Well. It's long for me anyway. I think I've only got one other that's longer and it's probably gonna get posted, gradually, in the Smallville section soon.
He was patronising her, in that gentle and sweet way. She laughed, then hiccoughed.
So…drunk?
A little ... only a little.
But, considering her mother's … affliction … she'd been sure not to over-indulge.
So…just enough so she won’t wake up sometime the next day lying in a puddle in Centennial Park?
Definitely!
"I can be over in just a second, Lois," he pleaded with her.
"Okay," she capitulated.
He meant literally.
Yep, he did.
It seemed only moments later when Clark was stroking her arm to rouse her.
Clark! Naughty boy!
"Come on Lois, I think I'll put you to bed."
"Huh!" she questioned.
Clark slid his arms around her and she found herself being carried into the bedroom.
A lot of great stories have started with Clark taking an inebriated Lois to bed
LOL. Sorry to disappoint you, Michael.
Hopefully you will think this is a great story, but ...
that didn't happen.
Gazing at her he reminded himself of the fact he was Superman. He had a higher calling. He was destined to be alone. And he'd even come to accept and embrace that philosophy, over time. He had no regrets over choosing to be a bachelor. None.
Riiiiight…
He doesn't. *raises eyebrows* Really!
Well…considering she has invited him into her apartment and he’s now standing in her boudoir, I’d say, the loathing has quite diminished.
Hmm, I think there might be a bit of trust showing on Lois' part eh? Yeah.
Clark widened his eyes in surprise. Really? Best friend, after only three months? Maybe my hard work has paid off even more than I expected.
No…he just didn’t try to sleep with her boss or stole her story to point where he published it under his name.
Well, I guess that would put him quite a bit further up her list than 'whatshisname'.
“Will you promise to spend every birthday with me, Clark?”
What’s her future husband going to say about that.
CLARK: I’m fine with that.
You took the words straight out of Clark's mouth himself. Wow.
“What-” she stopped and gulped. “What if no-one ever wants to marry me?”
Nah…she’s gangster bait, so…don’t cha worry.
“Come on, Clark. I don’t want to be alone. I want a wedding. You’re my last hope.”
Awwww
"Well, thirty is too soon. I'm already twenty-six. Four years doesn't give me long to find Mr Perfect. But forty seems too far away. And what if I want children, it's too late by then."
Surprised at what Lois is saying eh? To say that she's drunk ... well tipsy ... she's being very logical. Or
maybe this is something she's thought about before!
Clark moved away a little and tried to finally assess how drunk she was. Will she remember this in the morning? Hopefully not, but it will comfort her tonight if I give her what she wants. Tomorrow we'll go back to the status quo.
Funny…one might think…
Still after
that story, Michael?
She didn’t reply, just nodded down at her hand and motioned. Clark sighed and linked his little finger with hers, then they shook.
Yeah. It's exciting. They
kind of got engaged.
/got to get more

Thanks Michael. I'll get to your following FDKs soon.
