There was no way she could get Clark to go undercover for her story. Anyway, no matter how much the man loved kids, the holidays, or the man in the red suit, Clark would never be hired as one of Santa’s elves at Cost Mart. He was too tall, too brawny, too… Oh, God! She was picturing him in that elf uniform and the man even made that look good. Like he was built for uniforms or spandex tights or something. She swallowed.
Oh Lois... :rolleyes: You have it badder than you think.
“Sorry, big guy. But I can’t picture you in this outfit,” Jimmy admitted.
“I can,” Lois murmured under her breath to herself. She glanced again at Clark and noticed he was staring at her with his mouth agape. He hadn’t heard her, had he? No. Impossible.
Hints of Superman that are never picked up on. Love it!
“No, Clark. I’m investigating Cost Mart and the man pretending to be Santa. I want to make sure he’s not some crazy, diseased lunatic,” she replied.
“Lois, crazy and lunatic mean the same thing,” he corrected her.
Loved this reference to the Reeve Superman!
“I never said that!” Clark pointed out. Then he smiled. “Although, I’ve heard I do look good in green.”
Lois flushed. Had he heard her? “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she said and quickly changed the subject. “So, what are your holiday plans?” Oh, geez. Why had she asked that?
*dryly* Oh no, it's just that lip-reading skill of his that he tends to practice on you when you're not paying any attention.
Lovely first part! On to the second!
