“Oh come on!” Catherine said as she picked up a freshly cut lemon and squeezed it over the brightly colored vegetables. “Everyone in the bullpen knows when you’re on the phone with Clark! You two bicker like an old married couple! Plus your voice changes … sometimes you sound like a teen-ager on her first date.”
What could she say to such a remark? Clark Jefferson Kent was attractive, kind, friendly and willing to put his needs on hold for others. Like when he pulled away from her like a frightened deer after that sinfully sweet kiss -- thinking he was being unfaithful to Lana. However while their working relationship had steadied after a few months, their personal relationship had certainly not been the same afterwards. She became aware of Catherine’s voice. “Earth to Lois, come in Lois!”
“Oh yes, Clark! What were you saying?”
Catherine snorted in a very unladylike fashion and then gave her a speculative look and pointedly said. “Why are you mentioning Clark when you’re talking to me?”
Lois’ face flushed and in an attempt to hide her embarrassment she speared an asparagus tip and said, “What are you talking about?”
Emerald eyes studied her carefully and she said slowly, “Lois Lane, are you falling for …?” She left the question unfinished.
“What? No! Who has time to fall in love with Clark Kent or Superman for that matter? Come on, tell me more about Peggy.”
Busted! Awww Poor Lois! Can't deny those feelings....
