Thanks again to my BRs - Iolanthe, Vicki and Lynn. Thanks to everyone who read and left comments

Corrina.

Ah, ok. I was torn as to whether I believed he was Clavin or just an associate.

They're playing Undercover Boss? (US reality tv show where bosses go undercover in their own companies and do menial tasks to see how the company is running.)

Well, at least she realized that he *was* trying to plan something.






Cute, amusing, and sweet little fic! I enjoyed every moment of it!

Very sweet. I almost wondered if you were going to tie it into the show at the end by having him have the daydream the next morning and just stride across the newsroom and blurt out his invitation. But I love how you ended this.

The way Lois kept comparing everything to Clark and finding it lacking was extraordinary, and I love that she knew he was trying to ask her. It was so sweet to realize that she knows him almost as well as he knows her.

Loved the ending. Don't know what came before, but this was just perfect!

Well done, Corrina! Thanks for the late night smile.

Aw sweet end to this adorable tale.Thanks. Looking forward to more from you. Laura

Great ending! Lois knowing Clark was going to ask was sweet- and Clark explaining how many times he'd tried was just too adorable!

Well, everybody has already pretty much summed it up, but this was just

I also loved how Lois knew Clark wanted to ask her out and then him listing how many attempts it actually took Seems like 9 was the charm here, and not 3!



Can't wait to find out what you have in store for us next!

I love the new ending.

To borrow Patrick's term, a delightful story.

Thanks for the smiles.

Joy,

p.s.,

Ha! Clark 10. Coffee Boy 0!

Thank you for a great story.

Love the explanation for the coffee boy's behavior. And that Lois already figured out that Clark wanted to ask her out. Nice story.

Joan

Loved it! I really liked that Lois knew all along what Clark was trying to do. Really cute story.

Jolly good!

Very sweet ending.

Doesn't he know she's a billionaire's worst nightmare? But then, he was probably doing body shots while Lex was doing sky diving.

Tsk Tsk Tsk, and that's why you take Clark to such events. He does not go off eying the other ladies at the party, no matter how platonic the affair.

/imagines a longwinded tale of how he's a lady's best friend.

Oh dear. Didn't any football player ever put him in a locker, a lockable shed with a wild cat, or filled him with alcohol, stripped him, and set him loose in the girls' dorm?

Yep, thought so.

Or not. He really should have just cut all his allowance, maybe paid for some rat-invested sinkhole of a dorm apartment near campus, and let him get a degree on those terms. Not reduce his allowance from one five-figure number to another five-figure number a month.

Oh dear. I thought the DP had standards, because it does sound like he gets lucky way too often.

Sounds like a big fail.



What a great little... hmm... okay, for you, it's a vignette, Corrina!

DC

Yes, but Lois was *never* going to let that happen

/whistles innocently/

By the second season, she knew Clark well enough to know there is a key under the mat.

AntiK

Before - Lois got so frustrated, she invited herself to Clark's apartment and pretty much demanded he feed her - ie, she orchestrated an 'at home' date.

It might one day be part of another story, but it just didn't fit with this beginning.

Happy Glad you enjoyed!

Laura

I'm actually *finally* working on the fifth story in the Weekend in Smallville series.


Thanks for the comments, everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed this little piece of fun.

Corrina.
