Chapter 16 - Roller Coaster of Love
Later at Lois's bathroom, she and Clark were in the shower tied up to each other with pantyhose.
"Help!" Lois screamed with the hope somebody would hear her.
"Great, Lois. Look what you did!" Clark complained looking annoyed.
"Me? So this is now my fault?"
"You suggested to her to tied us here, didn't you?"
"You are unbelievable, Clark. This is not my fault."
"Yes, it is."
"No, it's not!"
"Yes, it is!"
"No, it's not!" Lois sighs frustrated. "Look, we have to get out here. Can you not… I don't know? Do something?"
"Can't. I already tried. She tied us too tight.. I guess she was a girl scout when she was younger. Well, I can try to burn them."
"And fry me instead? No way!" Lois shouted furious. "I know. Turn on the shower."
"Why?" Clark frowned confused.
"We turn the shower and then we get wet to loosen up the pantyhose and get out of here," Lois explained as they turned on the water with their elbows.
The water started to fall over their bodies making them wet.
"Now, we need some lubrication," Lois suggested pointing her head to Clark's left. "Pick up the shampoo with your mouth." Clark picked up the shampoo and opened the lid with his mouth before letting the box slide between their bodies. "Ready? Squeeze!"
"What?" Clark inquired confused.
"One… two… three… Squeeze!" They collided their bodies together as the liquid of the shampoo starts to pop up on them spilling between their clothes and pantyhose's. "Now jump, Clark!"
"What for?" Clark asked as they start to jump together before bursting into laughter when the pantyhose started to loosen up as Lois had predicted.
"It worked!" Clark said happy hugging Lois and still laughing as they were taking off the wet pantyhose.
"I think I need a cigarette right now," Lois teased making Clark rolls his eyes still grinning at her.
"That was great Lois. Thank you."
"You're welcome, Clark." They locked eyes for a moment as Clark leaned his head closer to Lois his lips close to hers almost brushing against each other. Lois gulped nervous before running away and picking up a towel as she headed to the living room.
Clark followed her also picking up a towel to dry himself. Lois sat on the couch drying her hair as Clark did the same looking confused at her but without saying anything.
"Lois… why did you…"
"Do what Clark?" she asked pretending to ignore the subject while she was looking for a mirror in her purse.
"We almost kissed and you run."
"Please, Clark. We were excited because we accomplished something, so we got our feelings confused. It was a spare of the moment thing. It didn't mean anything."
Clark looked at her disappointed before sighing annoyed.
"Fine!"
"Good. So we're clear?"
"I guess so," Clark said grumpy crossing his arms as Lois picked up a lipstick and applied it on her mouth. She started to feel dizzy and put her hand on her head as she closed her eyes.
"Is it hot in here?" she asked as Clark look at her and frowned.
"Oh Oh…"
Lois opened her eyes and looked at Clark and smiled. Clark frowned as Lois approached him, caressing his face with her hand. "Clark, do you know you look so sexy all wet?"
"Huh… thanks?" Clark said worried about what was happening to Lois. "Look Lois, you aren't yourself and it's better if we try…"
"You talk too much…" Lois said before placing a passionate kiss on Clark's lips and he tried to resist but not too much as the lipstick formula started to act in his system as well making him lose his inhibitions.
Lois sat on Clark's lap, opening the buttons of his flannel shirt and throwing it on the floor.
Clark took off Lois's tank top while their tongues collided in each other's mouths, feeling each others hard breath. Clark started to caress Lois's legs under her jeans making her moan while she was undoing his belt.
"Lois, I think we shouldn't…" Clark moaned on her mouth trying to be reasonable but Lois wasn't listening to him.
"Hush, Clark… Yes, we should…" she said sliding his belt off his jeans ready to open his zipper as Chloe, Jimmy and Kara interrupted them as they barged in looking surprised at the duo.
"What is going on here?" Chloe asked confused and surprised at them.
"Look to me they were playing house," Jimmy pointed out with a sarcastic smirk as Lois took her hands away from Clark's zipper and they looked really embarrassed. "So, that's what happened in the elevator?"
They blushed crimson while they put their clothes back on trying to look normal.
"Why are you wet?" Kara asked with a sarcastic smile.
"Harley Quinn!" Clark and Lois finally said together.
"She did that?" Chloe asked skeptical as they nodded their heads. "How?"
"She tied us together in the shower," Lois explained avoiding Chloe's judgmental eyes.
"But we freed ourselves and came to here to get dry," Clark added as the trio were still looking at them suspiciously.
"Right."
"And she did what?" Jimmy asked crossing his arms. "Put a gun to your head so you would kiss? Because if we hadn't interrupted you, you probably would be into the good stuff right now."
"Please, Jimmy. Don't put images on my head," Chloe complained screwing up her eyes.
"Sorry."
"Well… we don't know what happened," Clark said still embarrassed. "We were talking, and then Lois put on the lipstick and the next thing we were…"
"Lip lockers?" Jimmy teased.
"Making out?" Kara added.
"Almost doing it?" Chloe pointed out.
"Yes." Lois and Clark bowed their heads still avoiding their eyes and blushing even more as Kara picked the lipstick up and smelt it.
"It's the same lipstick that was in Holly's drawer. The one she received from South America."
"Lois… did you use the lipstick when you were in the elevator with Clark?" Chloe asked as Lois looked confused at her.
"Yes, I bought it that morning."
"Wait a minute," Kara interrupted them. "Wasn't Holly in the same store you bought it in? And didn't she bump into you?"
"Yes," Lois said,frowning. "Oh My God. You are right. She exchanged the packages."
"What did you feel after you put on?" Jimmy inquired.
"Hot. Dizziness… lust, love, passion…" Lois confessed without knowing why she was saying that. "And a desirable (irresistible better word here?) feeling to tell the truth."
"Yeah, me too." Clark nodded as he smiled uncomfortably. "After Lois kissed me, of course. I wanted to say I want her… I love her."
"And I love him."
"And since she now knows about my…" But before Clark said too much, Chloe interrupted him.
"Okay. There's something weird in this substance that takes away your inhibitions and apparently is making you tell the truth. Seems this one is more powerful than that one from Valentine's Day."
"Why we don't bring it to STAR LABS to analyze this?" Jimmy suggested. "We can find out what it is really made of."
"Great idea, Jimmy!" Chloe smirked with a smile kissing him on the cheek making him flush a little. A smirk is just a small smile but with some sarcasm behind it usually
"Wait a minute. I just remembered something." Kara snapped her fingers excited. "Doesn't Harley have a friend who is a chemist or a botanist or something like that?"
"Yes…" Chloe nodded while she picked up her cell phone and started to dial. "Babs? It's Chloe. What's the name of Harley's best friend? Poison Ivy? That's her. We think she might be involved. What's her expertise? Pheromones?" She looked at Lois and Clark and smile devilishly. "Really? You don't say. No, we can handle it. When are you coming back to Metropolis? Tomorrow? Okay, then. We'll talk when you get back." Chloe turned off the phone with an amused grin. "Well, at least now we know this lipstick is full of pheromones. No wonder you've been acting like… that!"
"Great! That's what I needed! Another lipstick what makes me drool over Clark," Lois said really annoyed. "That's it! I had it! I will put my plan in action tomorrow and we can catch that clown!"
"What are you going to do?" Kara asked confused.
"Well, since she thinks me and Clark would be a cute couple, let's make her think we really are. That her plan really worked and we are happy together. Then we can catch her and really stop this nonsense once and for all."
"Do you think it will work?" Clark inquired, they stood up together.
"Sure it will. Did you say she is undercover at the Planet as Holly right?" Chloe nodded. "And she lives in Jimmy's building, right?" Jimmy nodded. "Piece of cake."
"Okay. We will take this lipstick to STAR LABS and inform you as soon as possible," Chloe said while they were leaving the apartment.
"Great." Lois smirked. "Harley will not know what hit her tomorrow."
