Morgana,
This actually might be interesting as in a few fan Fiction stories Clark has shown himself to be unable to resist Lane women, mostly in the future. Nan Smith even has him marrying Lucy's great-grand niece in the Home series. What might be interesting is if Clark begins to show some interest in Cindy. The Green-Eyed Monster will almost assuredly surface. That and Lois can't keep from wearing and handling the necklace Clark gave her for her birthday...
Mike
Sooooo not going there.
But what an idea!
Hi Vic!
So great to see that you’re back and well…recuperating? I hope the FDK helps
Oh yes. FDK is great medicine.
“Cindy. Nice of you to call,” Lois replied, sarcasm evident in her tone.
The cousin from Lois’s clone wedding, isn’t she?
Yup.
Her free hand felt behind her blouse and pulled out the heart necklace.
showing her the fun that could be had climbing the gigantic tree in the back yard.
So long as no one falls off?
LOIS: It's even MORE fun then!
Cindy is a really nice girl …
Oh boy.
I can hear the tone of dread just in those 2 words!
It’s just that ... well ... we’re cousins and we have this rivalry thing since teenage years. And we're attempting to get past that ...
So setting her up with her denied-fiancé sounds like a good way to get past their rivalry?
LOIS:
The…that…*slut* is stealing my man!
CINDY:
Nope, that’s what you’re trying to avoid. Cousin-in-law is close enough.
Because those never have torrid affairs.
Torrid affair!!!!! What an idea!
That had been at the wedding for one of her few short-lived marriages.
So…Lois took him as her date?
LOIS: Friend! He went as my FRIEND!
what Clark suspected, was his missing university sweater.
What! You think Lois wouldn't ... procure ... anything like that from Clark?
Her mouth was only inches from his ear. She stretched out her arm and passed the wine glass over to Clark then stood and walked round the couch to join her cousin.
So, she knows they’re being set up?
Kind of.
Maybe it’s the wine. How many has he had? Enough to be ‘mellow’ or maybe enough to be ‘reckless’.
Like he’s ever been drunk.
Not that I’ve ever seen him ‘reckless’, she realised and frowned.
See?
*nods*
“Uh, Cindy. I’m just going to pop to the bathroom.” He rushed off and, the moment the catch shut on the bathroom door, he sped out of the bathroom window.
Oh boy.
CINDY: So…Lois…*what* did you cook for him?
LOL
“Lois, you’ve met Superman haven’t you.”
No…she’s…no *way*!
It's a complete tangent ... well, actually, no it's not. There's a reason she said that, but it's not cause she figured it out. Superman just flew past the window, that's all.
Lois blinked a little. This was what she was hoping for, so why did she feel like there was a fire-pit in her stomach.
“How come you’ve never seen it?” Cindy seemed shocked at the thought.
Galactically Stupid – adjective, modified. See Lois Lane.
Duh!
Lois gulped. “Who’s ... who’s to say I haven’t. But Kent and I, we’re best friends, and colleagues. And that’s how it should stay.”
So…friends with benefits, huh?
LOIS: Definitely not!!!!
“I think, uh, that Lois is going to win. She always does.” He turned and gave Lois a ‘help me’ look. She grinned at him and shook her head.
Afraid the little cousin is going to crawl all over him?
Have you been reading ahead?
Cindy was leaning all the way over the coffee table advancing on Clark and he was backing away.
Oh dear. Cindy is in full-on Cat mode.
You know, Cat dissapeared years ago. We haven't seen her since. What if there was some weird accident and she and .... naaaaaa
She grabbed hold of the Trivial Pursuit board and then flung it away.
She…she…she snapped!
Bringing her hands up to his chest she murmured something.
Getting a bit worried are you?
Lois saw Cindy begin to rise up on her tiptoes and her mouth dropped open when she realised that her baby cousin was about to kiss her best friend.
Hey!
Michael
Sorry? Did I leave you at a bad place? Am I evil?
Well, just you wait. There are some even more precarious cliffhangers to come!
