Ahhhh--awesome story and beautiful ending! Loved it!
The flustered clerk began to blush. “But, I heard you say that you were in the honeymoon suite.”
Lois rolled her eyes. “We were undercover.”
The blush deepened and the young, embarrassed woman lowered her head. “Well, uh, I guess that’s what the honeymoon suite is for. Lots of time under the covers.”
If looks could kill, the clerk would have died a thousand deaths in that moment. “Not 'under the covers'. Undercover! We were on a stakeout. You know ... spying on the bad guys.”
--the 'check in' part was great--that poor front desk clerk! Couldn't get anything right
....the 'undercover' confusion was fantastic!
"I wanted to turn you into my own personal Superman. You two are my … the only … I …" she faded off. "Argh," she shouted and waved her fist in the air. "You two mean everything to me. No-one else in the world … and I just wanted to pretend that I could have both of you, just for a day." She looked down at the sand and began swishing at it with her toes. Her voice dropped in volume as she continued. "I had a lot of fun today. And seeing you turn into Superman one little bit at a time ... I wanted you more and more."
--ah, it all makes sense now....it was a lot more than a b-day present--actually a LOT more
You know, *I* was gonna kiss *you* then. I resolved to kiss you, to take a chance, and I was going to do it while you were dressed as Superman, to show you that I could think of you as Superman, that you could be *my* Superman."
So sweet...Loved reading this part--and understanding deep down where Lois was with her gift...'Superman fantasy and Clark fantasy' as you said
He stepped forwards and her heart quickened in anticipation of the kiss she craved. Instead his head passed her and his arms surrounded her in a tight hug. She brought up her arms and encircled his chest, then buried her head in his neck. He wouldn't presume to kiss her. Not even now. She smiled. 'So like Clark.'
Gotta love Clark--so in love, so wanting to be close to her, but not pushing anything....very heart-warming!
She felt his arms hold her tighter. His lips nibbled hers, gradually deepening the kiss. When her lips parted his immediately took advantage and her whole body vibrated with pleasure as she experienced the true level of passion that Clark Kent felt for Lois Lane.
And then on to the good stuff!
GREAT story! Loved every bit of it--thanks for sharing...it was such fun to read!
