Luck // Clark Kent

Now

        "It seemed like Clark has a good effect on you," Zach stated, sipping a cup of his coffee.

        I looked at him, "What do you mean?"

        "I know it's not official yet, but being with him. You became talkative in a good way," he glanced at the elevator, "Whenever you walk in every time, you have this good vibe. It makes me even think that he's the reason you want to wake up every morning just to see him."

        I snorted and looked back down at my files, "I do not. I wake up every morning to work."

        "Actually, you look grumpy, but not anymore."

        "Right."

        "It's true. You have this face that says 'don't come near me' every time."

        "I'm not like that."

        "Say that to our co-workers." I heard him sip on his cup again. My eyes scanned at the texts on my paper, looking for any error or typos that a new worker has printed and edited. Zach continued, "How are the two of you now? It's been what? Almost five months since your relationship started."

        "Unofficial relationship," We synchronized.

        "Alright. A relationship with no label, but has a thing."

        "I haven't answered him yet."

        "I noticed by your answer earlier."

        I kept silent, still observing the paper. I was already thinking about it.

        All of the people on our floor already knew that Clark and I were together, but what they didn't know was that it wasn't official. Only Ethan, Zach, Clark and I knew. I don't even know if Lois knew about us being with no label.

        "What? Please don't tell me you're still not sure about him."

        "It's not that."

        "Then why not?"

        "I'm waiting for the right time."

        "You're going to keep him waiting."

        I stared at him and glared lightly, "Don't say that to me. I waited for nine months and I didn't let go that easily. Besides, he said he will wait until he has finally convinced me."

        "And did he?"

        My eyes softened and it shifted to Clark's workplace, he wasn't there as I knew he was saving someone. Has he finally convinced me?

        Yes.

        Even if I told Clark that he doesn't have to go overboard, I can already see his efforts. Especially that day when he and Zach talked in my living room.

        I was just really waiting for the right time.

        When Zach heard no reply from me, he asked, "Where's Clark? It's near our break."

        "He's probably doing his assignment and interviewing someone," I lied and turned to him. Zach still doesn't know that Clark was Superman. And if I thought of telling him, it wasn't my right and business.

        I stared back down on the paper. My brow twitched when I found a mistake, "Who the hell edited this? I told them not to use vivid colors on the picture."

        Zach laughed through his nose, "Ask Steven."

        I abruptly looked at Zach, "He's the new worker?"
