Lois looks to make sure everyone went back to work and Perry was in his office. She dragged Clark to Conference Room 1 and locked the door. "I can't believe you're here!" She said smiling brightly.
Clark looked at her and smiled back. "What? I can't get a job and live a normal life along with a secret identity as Superman?" He asked teasingly.
"Of course you can! I'm just surprised you chose here. I mean a newspaper. And the best one in Metropolis!" She beamed. "What made you choose The Daily Planet of all places?"
"Well, I majored in journalism in college and I remembered you were here. I thought, why can't I manage both a professional and a romantic relationship with my girlfriend? Although I didn't expect Perry to partner us up."
"Are you kidding?! I'm happy he did! Besides, I missed you."
"Lois, I missed you too. And I have one other thing to tell you."
"What's that?"
"I love you. I'm mean I'm IN LOVE with you."
"Oh, CLARK!" She expressed running and kissing him passionately.
Clark kissed her back wrapping his arms around her waist. She pulled away smiling with a twinkle in her eye. "Let me guess..."
Lois put her finger on his lips to stop him. "I'm in love with you too." She whispered. "I love you like I never thought I could ever love anyone. And now that you're here, I can't wait to work with you everyday for the rest of our lives. Just don't try a whole lot of public affection. At least in the office."
Clark smiled and chuckled. "Ok. Deal." He said pecking her on the lips.
She pulled away. "Ok. Ready for our first day as a team, Partner?"
"Lead the way." He said as he followed her to her their desks. Lois sat down and turned to continue writing her current story. "So what's the story you're working on?"
She turned around and smiled. "Actually, I'm writing about the Metropolis rescue from Zod. Don't worry, I didn't mention anything about you being you know who. I just said how Superman saved all of the Earth and destroyed Zod in the process."
Clark half smiled. "So no revealed secrets?"
"Nope. I'm gonna make the world think you're two different people."
"Nice. And you do this using evidence, right?"
"Of course. And I'm also writing from my point of view as a witness to the whole thing."
"Can I read it?"
"When I'm finished. Not now." She replied turning back and working again.
Clark sat at his desk across from her and started organizing. Lois finished ten minutes later and looked at Clark. Clark felt her eyes on him and looked up. "What?"
"I'm finished if you want to read it before I send it to print in Perry's office."
Clark immediately got up and went around to read it. He read in super speed and looked at her. "It's good. It's REALLY good. I love it. This should win you at least a kerth award if not the pulitzer."
"You really think so?"
"Are you kidding?! I KNOW so. Believe me, Hunny. It will." He said Kissing the top of her head.
Jimmy noticed, but didn't say anything. *I wonder if they know each other already.* He thought then went back to work.
