Accidentally in Love

Chapter 9: Oliver's Amazing First Time!

Sometimes it was difficult having a best friend who had such a good memory. Because immediately after they got home, she checked Clark’s temperature and made sure he was okay. When he protested, she got into lecture mode.

“Clark Kent,” Chloe chided, “If you’re ill, it is far worse than any of us getting sick.” Realizing that there would be no winning with her, he just let her do what she had to. Fortunately, Chloe accepted he was fine fairly quickly and desisted.

That was when Lois showed up. “Hey, gang.” She said cheerfully.

“What’s got you so happy?” Chloe asked suspiciously.

“We have plans tonight.” Lois declared.

“Who’s we?” Clark wanted to know.

“Chloe, you, and me, Smallville.” Lois answered, with a smile.

Chloe raised an eyebrow. “What kind of plans?”

Lois leaned in, as if she was sharing an exciting secret. “Well, Delta Gamma Pi is having a party tonight. Lucky for me, I ran into one of the frat members and he invited us to the party!”

“Lois, I don’t even know anybody who is in Delta Gamma Pi.” Clark remarked.

“Well, if you want specifications, he invited me and said I could bring along friends,” Lois told him. “You’re my friends so I’m bringing you along!”

Seeing their uninterested expressions, she rolled her eyes. “I know neither of you have plans tonight so this will be fun. Come on, I don’t want to go by myself and Grant’s probably too busy at the Planet.”

“Sure, Lois,” Chloe said. “I’ll come.”

“Great.” Lois said excitedly. She turned her gaze to Clark. “Smallville?”

“I don’t know, Lois, you know me and parties.” Clark said, trying to find an excuse to get out. If he was honest, he would admit that he wanted them to go, so he could sneak off to Oliver’s place. See if the blonde was interested in picking up where they left off at the library. This time, no interruptions.

But Lois wasn’t about to let him go that easily. “Oh, come on, Smallville. You have to meet people and be social. I won’t have you be alone anymore, you’re coming. Trust me, this is for your own good.”

He glanced at Chloe, a pleading look on his face. Chloe shrugged helplessly.

“Clark, maybe this will be good for you.” She suggested. “Just stay for a few hours and if you’re really having a horrible time, you can go.”

Knowing he was defeated, he sighed. “Fine, I guess a couple of hours couldn’t hurt.”

Lois beamed. “Great, but you better change out of those farm boy clothes. We have to dress to impress.”

Clark frowned. “Is this really worth it?”

Chloe nudged him. “Just tonight, Clark. Do it for me.”

“All right, no farm boy clothes.” Clark agreed reluctantly.

“I’m going to go look for something to wear,” Lois said. “Chloe, if I were you, I’d help Clark. He may not be able to pick his own clothes.”
