Here I am, late as usual
Lois lost herself in his eyes for a moment. She had a hard time picturing Luthor the way Clark saw him. Thinking about Clark, Lois managed to find her way back into the reality of the evening. Her gaze dropped towards her notepad and the tough questions she had written down that were still unanswered. Lois felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment. Luthor had completely thrown her off her game and it irked her. But judging from the past ten minutes, she was not going to get her questions answered. Some way to follow in the footsteps of her idols- Woodward and Bernstein certainly would not have forgotten the Watergate Scandal over some stupid flirt.
FoLC's have written this scene many times, but the tension, both emotional and physical is very evident here. Lois is torn in several directions and so is Lex.
“Where have you been?” Lucy asked, checking her wrist-watch and kneeled down to gather the various items of food. “Why didn’t you call to tell me that you were coming so late? I could have done the shopping.”
“Would you have heard the phone?” Lois asked, raising her brows.
At this point, Lucy was a lousy roommate. She should have been making dinner rather than waiting for her sister to come home and then order take-out. Still the loud earphones are a good set-up for later.
“But Clark, if we published that the Colonist Transport was sabotaged, then everybody would know that there was someone else pulling the strings,” Lois argued. “With your help and the bomb as evidence, we could…”
“I resigned, Lois,” Clark broke her off. He opened the window again and stepped onto the sill.
“Perry didn’t accept your resignation, yet,” Lois told him.
This scene was perfect between Lois and Clark. The potential for all that was to come is here. So glad that Perry 'lost' Clark resignation. So it is not too late.
Hah! Lucy never heard a thing!
When is the next posting?
. 
lol...I just can't manage to crawl my way out of the gutter!) There was great tension, and I really felt for Clark and his insecurity about himself. Looking forward to the next part.
