She was a little girl again, begging for every scrap of love and attention she could find. Lois knew what her mother would say when they next spoke.
Awwww
They were all intrinsically flawed somehow, damaged by forces they weren't even aware of.
I like that sentence. Sad, though.
They'd never gotten along as children. Lucy had hated being told what to do almost as much as Lois did, and she'd rebelled. Lois, in turn, had resented the special treatment Lucy received. Lucy had always been her father's favorite, and her mother's as well. She'd never had to face the pressures Lois had, and Lois had never had the feeling that Sam Lane wished Lucy was a son either. She'd been accepted by her parents for who she was, and that was something Lois had always envied.
Awww! A bit of a different past for this Lois. Sad that she didn't have the solidarity with Lucy.
She'd struggled her way to the top faster than her peers, being one of the youngest reporters ever to win a Merriweather award, and later, two Kerths.
Good for you, Lois!
Clark Kent wasn't like any of the others, and on a fundamental level, that worried her. He was too good to be true, too attractive in any number of ways. He made her want to throw her inhibitions to the wind and do something wild and uncharacteristic.
Whee!! Let's hope so!
Love that first sentence.
"Would you like to come up for coffee?" Lois found herself asking.
YAY!
She looked up at him for a moment, and realized again just how dangerously handsome he was.
Love that sentence... especially the "dangerously handsome".
As they reached the door, Lois said, "I don't usually kiss on the first date, but..."
Before she could complete the sentence, Clark leaned down and kissed her.
Yowsa!
One kiss seemed to last forever, and before Lois knew it, her back was against the wall, and she felt faint.
Clark pulled away from her, and Lois could see a faint hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He leaned down again, and Lois closed her eyes, thinking he was going to kiss her. Instead, she felt his lips brush by her ear.
"You knock me off my feet," he murmured. "But if I don't leave now, I don't think I ever will. I'll call you tomorrow...maybe we can schedule some more time to spend together."
/me fans herself
Clark Kent certainly wasn't like any man she'd known before.
Yay!
