The sun had already slipped over the windowsill and halfway across the bed when Clark finally felt his girlfriend stirring beside him. He shifted his arm to give her more space, but Lois managed to seize the limb and keep it wrapped firmly around her. She snuggled in a little closer to him and let out a sleepy sigh.
"Good morning," he greeted, amused at how reluctantly she always returned to consciousness.
"It will be after some coffee," she murmured back, eyes still firmly closed.
He reached down and poked her lightly in the side, eliciting a soft laugh as he hit her right where he knew she was ticklish. "C'mon, we have that appointment with the realtor at ten. Unless you plan on having me carry you there?"
"Doesn't sound half bad," she said, burying her face into his shoulder, her dark brunette hair splaying out across his chest. He brushed it back gently, tucking the loose strands behind her ear. She ignored the gesture and grunted up at him from her hiding place, "Breakfast and coffee."
Clark rolled his eyes. "Fine. What would you like?"
There was a slight pause before a mischievous smile tugged at her lips. "You know those little breakfast pastries we got when we were in Germany last year?"
"Franzbrötchen."
"Yeah. Those."
"I'm sure I could find a bakery somewhere that--."
"You know they're not going to taste the same," Lois interrupted with a yawn.
He raised an eyebrow, halfway between disbelieving and amused. "You want me to fly to Germany to pick up breakfast?"
Finally cracking her eyes open at him, Lois asked, "I mean, what's the point of having a boyfriend who can fly at superspeed if he doesn't bring me European pastries?"
"I knew I never should have told you my secret," he teased, gently pushing her off of him so he could stand.
Behind him, he could hear her roll up onto her side, a teasing smirk evident in her tone. "Then let's just consider this the start of my payback for you keeping that secret for so long."
"I hope you realize that's emotional blackmail." He leaned down to kiss her as he grabbed up his sweatshirt. "I'll be back in three minutes."
