FDK: Just a Little Experiment or... The Guessing Game - Just what is Lois up to?? - 04/25/05 07:50 PM
Wheee!!! It's posted!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNETTE!!!!!!!
Lucky person that I am, I got to read this before everyone else did. So... because Wendy was so amused by my comments, I'm posting most of them here because... well... I couldn't *not* post fdk and I'm sure someone else has to be amused by them, so here you are! Recycled fdk! <g>
LOL!!! Same here.
*snicker* Poor Clark. <g> No, wait... lucky Clark! Just kiss her and shut up.
LOL!! Nice line! <g>
Awwwww!!!!!
LOL Nice analogy!
Ditto!!!
Ha! So true!
LOL! Cute!
/me snickers.... She figured it out!!!!!
LOL!! Poor Clark!!
Nope, he wouldn't. Good thinking, Clark. <g>
Oh, crap!! She's trying to decide who she loves more... or the other way around... or... nevermind...
LOL! See! That's what *I* thought! But you're apparently wrong, Clark, so keep thinking.
LOL! I mean... awwww!
Love this!!!!!
Ooh! I am. I think. Which means... darnit! It means... she's going to think that she'll react to *any* man who kisses her like that. Darnit!
And, wow... actually, it's exactly the same as the kiss you just gave me. Clark, take off your glasses.
Awww. Yeah, poor boy's clueless in this respect. You're going to have to tell him, Lois.
Awwww!!! And I love that she whispered it!! And that she's embarrassed! *sigh*
Ah ha! Knew my new 2x4 would come in handy!! For threatening! You'd best say the right thing here, Clark.
Ouf! Poor Lois! /me keeps her 2x4 handy!
Duh! And great emotions right here!
Awwww!!!
You bet your red boots it's a problem! Now you're just going to have to tell her everything in one fell swoop.
AWWWWW!!!!!! *sniff*
Awwww!!!! Gah!! And... hee hee... go ahead, explain why you weren't affected... why two men can make her feel exactly the same. Go on...
LOL!! Ha! Told you!
Hee hee... just tell her now, Clark.
/me pets her shiny new *green* 2x4 ....
Awww!!! Very cute!! And nice excuse! But... I still think you should tell her!
Awwww!!!! He's so sweet!!! Dumb as a doornail sometimes, but he wins the prize for sweet.
Ooooh!!!!!
Awwwwwww. Poor guy! And... wow... I just adore that line!
ROTFL!!!! You were there for the kiss, weren't you, Clark? <g>
Awwwww! (still laughing, but Awwww)
Woohoo!! /me jumps up and down!!!
Awwww!! So sweet! So modest! Just take the compliment and kiss her again, Clark! <g>
OMG! Stop the presses!!! He had a moment of un-dumb-as-a-doornail-ness! Go on, Clark, let's hear it!
NO!!!
/me pushes the niggle back into place... niggle away!
WOOHOOO!!!! And, Clark... that would be your cue... don't you feel that niggle??
Would it be so bad if you did? <eg>
Awwww!!!
AWWWWWW!!!! Sooo sweet!!!
LOL! Let's hope so! *drool* <g> And... um... I know I said I wanted to talk to Lois, but really, I need to have a word with Clark... /me whispers so Lois doesn't hear too soon: you'd better watch out... she might just notice that you're built an awful lot like Superman. And beware of Wendy... all that thinking Lois just did about your chest... wasn't about your chest at all, it was a clue, a little foreshadowing that Lois is starting to pick up some puzzle pieces. You might as well just tell her now.
LoL! My thoughts exactly. Awwwww!
LOL! Go Lois!!
Clark... what did I tell you?
Oh boy! You blew it, Clark!
YAY!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!! Really great little story!! Sorry if I babbled on to much... think I was starting to amuse myself more than anyone else.

“Clark, I need you to kiss me.”
He gaped at her. His vocal chords seized up, paralysed with shock.

Quote
He had heard her correctly. He gulped.
Quote
This wasn’t good. Alarm started to build. She was up to something, and it was an absolute no-brainer that he wasn’t going to like whatever it was.
Quote
In answer, he took a step towards her. He saw the moment when she realised that he was going to do as she asked. She stiffened, and he flinched. Was she *steeling* herself to kiss him, as if she feared it would be something unpleasant?
Quote
If yesterday’s kiss had seemed intense, it was a mere camp-fire next to this one.
Quote
Too soon, she dragged herself away. Breathless, her chest heaving, she stared at him. “Wow.”
Quote
“You invited it, you know,” he told her. Hearing the faint sour note in his voice, he grimaced.
Quote
She was making no sense at all, but that was hardly new with Lois. “Okay. I’m listening.”
Quote
Was she talking about *him*? How could she possibly be?
Quote
“Yesterday afternoon, Superman kissed me.”
Oh god. This was about *that*?”
He swallowed.
Oh god. This was about *that*?”
He swallowed.
Quote
Just in time, he caught himself. He’d been about to protest that Superman had been affected by the pheromone. But Clark wouldn’t know that, would he?
Quote
“It was the pheromone,” Lois continued. “Miranda sprayed him with it. He... came up to me and said he loved me. And he kissed me... like I’d never been kissed before. Like he couldn’t let go of me. Like... he was dying of thirst and I...”
Quote
Unless, somehow, she’d guessed at the truth and was trying to confirm it. By *comparing kisses*?
Quote
He began pouring coffee. “You’re not in love with him, are you?” Heart in his mouth, he waited for her answer.
There was a pause. Many seconds. He started to count.
There was a pause. Many seconds. He started to count.
Quote
“It’s not just the powers.” She came closer, chose her coffee-mug and added milk and sweetener. “It’s *him*. What he stands for. He’s decent, and kind, and caring, and he wants to help. And he’s got the kind of ethics hardly anyone has any more.” She seemed to start at that. Raising her gaze to his, she added slowly, “Except maybe you, Clark.”
Quote
He shook his head. “I’m still not following.”
Quote
“Clark, that was the best... the most *amazing* kiss I’ve ever had in my life! It was electrifying - earth-shattering.”
Quote
She blushed. “You have to ask?”
“Well... I’d kind of like to know.”
“Well... I’d kind of like to know.”
Quote
“Clark, you were there too!” Again, she looked away. “It was... stunning. Earth-shattering,” she whispered.
Quote
“Unless...” She looked up again, and he could see nervousness. Uncertainty. “Unless it wasn’t like that for you...”
Quote
“Well, I know you don’t find me attractive, Clark.”
Quote
“You told me!” Her angry exclamation was laced with hurt, and he flinched.
Quote
Just for a few moments, it had been good to savour the enjoyment of being the unmoved, uninterested object of her lust.
Quote
But it had been a lie, and now it was a problem.
Quote
“It’s just my luck.” As he was searching for the words to take back the lie, Lois spoke again. “Two men can make me feel like that, and neither of them want me.”
Quote
“Lois, I am attracted to you.” He caught at her hands, squeezed them. Her gaze shot to his. “I lied. I just wasn’t affected by the pheromone. I am attracted to you - I have been right from the second I first saw you.”
Quote
Oh god... deceit compounded on deceit...
Quote
She frowned. “How did you know that? I didn’t write it up anywhere, and I know Superman wouldn’t have said anything.”
Quote
“Um...” What had he done now? Then, with a rush of relief, he remembered. “Luthor told me. He came to the Planet trying to contact Superman. He said Miranda was going to spray the city with her 100% solution.”
Quote
“I’ve had a lot of practice exercising self-control around you.” That wasn’t a lie, at least.
Quote
“When we first met?” he prompted. “You saw I was attracted to you. You made it clear you weren’t interested. You told me not to fall for you. I’ve been doing my best not to let it show ever since.”
Quote
Memory dawned. He saw her flush and then look guilty. Then she chewed her lip. “That... might have been a mistake.”
Quote
At least, not the glasses-wearing half of him.
Quote
He wanted to ask her: on a scale of one to ten, how close was the ‘might’ to ‘was definitely’?
Quote
At the lower end, hovering just above ‘no mistake at all’? Or right at the top, in waving distance of the ‘definitely not a mistake’?
Quote
She did. In an almost steady voice, she continued. “You were right about the pheromone. There *was* attraction there to begin with. I guess... I’ve been denying the way I feel about you ever since we met. The pheromone made me stop hiding it.”
Quote
It was his turn to blush. “I... try. But, if you remember, I gave in in the end.”
Quote
“I know you’re not,” she added. “Like I said, you’re a decent man.”
A decent man... who was still deceiving her.
A decent man... who was still deceiving her.
Quote
Even if she meant what she seemed to be saying, if she wanted to date him, the secret still had to be kept. Didn’t it?
Quote
He pushed the niggle aside. “So what do you want, Lois?”
Quote
She took a deep breath. He had the sense that she was preparing to plunge. “You’re the only other man who can make me feel what I felt with Superman. Better, even. So, even though this scares me rigid, I think we should... see where it goes.”
Quote
His heart leapt again. It was amazing that he wasn’t floating on the ceiling by now.
Quote
Calm. He needed to stay calm. Even if his face was being split in two by the widest smile he’d ever known. Even if he was having to use every ounce of his self-control to keep himself on that darned couch.
Quote
Better because this was the start of something very special.
Quote
Or when he wore no shirt at all. She’d never forgotten that day...
Well, if she was lucky, *that* experience could be repeated some time soon.
Well, if she was lucky, *that* experience could be repeated some time soon.
Quote
She waited for the surge of indignation to hit her. When it didn’t, she smiled and resigned herself to being protected. It wasn’t such a bad feeling.
Quote
In fact, it was such a good feeling that she thought he deserved a reward for making her feel that good. Pushing herself up, she reached for his head and kissed him once more.
Quote
The kiss was stunning. Magical. Electrifying...
...and so, so familiar...
...and so, so familiar...
Quote
She broke away, breathing heavily. Looked into his eyes, clouded slightly by his glasses...
And, suddenly, *knew*.
And, suddenly, *knew*.
Quote
After all, she couldn’t be happier that it was the *man*, and not the kiss.
