The Interview

As Clark entered the room he was too focused on his papers to even look at Mindy, most men fawned over her but not Clark he much preferred the classic beauty of Lois than the in your face baby doll Mindy, "Hi Mrs Church thanks for allowing the daily planet this time" secretly he was wondering why he'd been stuck with a lame duck puff piece interview with the heiress to the costmart fortune...suddenly a perfectly manicured hand demurley landed in his "The pleasure is all mine Mr Kent"...Clark looked up and got a whiff of the perfume simultaneously and it was such a rush he instinctively shook his head when his vision returned there she was, he knew she was beautiful but he'd never quite noticed how beautiful, "Please Mr. Kent can I have my hand back", "Yes, yes of course" he'd been holding it for an awkwardly long amount of time.

Mindy moved around her desk and sat down she couldn't help but notice the laser focus of Clark's stare she hadn't quite figured out the effect the kryptonite and perfume were having, "so Mr Kent where she should we start?", Clark picked up his notepad and looked at his questions, he was planning to hit her with some uncomfortable questions about costmarts connections with Intergang that he'd researched with Lois but instead he he found himself saying "Start from the begining, I...my readers would love to know everything about you", "Are you sure? Mr. Kent I don't want to expose too much" came her breathy reply they still hadn't broken eye contact as she slightly lent over the table revealing her ample cleavage, "Please I...the city of Metropolis needs to know"

As she spoke Clark couldn't even make out what she was saying just staring dreamily into her eyes, Mindy would adjust her dress showing more cleavage from time to time..."Are you okay Mr. Kent? You seem a little distracted", Clark was feeling so hot he'd loosened his tie, and shook his head and in doing so gained a moment of clarity "Erm yes Mrs. Church i'd like to ask about your husband's connections with Intergang" Mindy"s face dropped like a stone, she was even beautiful when she was uncomfortable, she quickly reached for the perfume "Listen Mr. Kent I don't want to talk about Intergang, that was all Billy and I had nothing to do with it, you don't mind if I freshen up do you?" and with that she took the perfume bottle and sprayed her chest "Can we maybe talk about all of the charitable donations I made last year?" Clark being hit with another dose, smiled "Certainly Mrs. Church, I hope you don't think I was implying you had anything to do with Intergang I know you'd never do anything like that, also if you don't mind me saying you're Metropolis' most generous philanthropist and its most glamorous woman and you're still single, can we dive more into that", "That sounds wonderful Mr. Kent" she bops him on the nose with her finger "I think that poor people just need money so they aren't poor anymore..."

It seemed like hours has passed when an assistant knocked on the door "excuse me Mrs Church if you don't wrap up now you'll never make your 2 O'Clock with the children's hospital" Mindy stood up and approached Clark getting unbarebly close every fiber of his being wanted to grab, he couldn't understand while he felt like this "I'm sorry, I guess we're going to have to cut this a little short, I hope you got everything you needed" Clark looked at his notepad most of what he had written was unintelligible random words that Mindy had spoken, Mindy noticed bending down, her breasts were now directly in Clark's face "You didn't seem to get a lot down there Mr. Kent, we could schedule another interview perhaps over dinner tomorrow?" "YES THAT WOULD BE GREAT" Clark snapped "But oh wait I've made a date with Lois for the same night" but at this moment he didn't care "I'LL CANCEL IT" and besides it was for an assignment Lois would understand.

Clark stood up "It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kent" said Mindy as Clark he shuffled to put his jacket back on "The pleasure was all mine Mrs Church", "Please Clark call me Mindy, I feel like after today we've known each other for years, here take this it's my number to set up the dinner" she handed him a business card power puff pink just as he would have expected, Clark handed her is own, as he approached the door he reached out to shake Mindy's hand, but she reached in and kissed him on the cheek leaving a red lipstick mark, Clark leaned his head to the side just to try and catch her lips with his own, they brushed agonisingly close but just missed, he held his hand over the lipstick mark tenderly "Goodbye Clark", "Goodbye Mindy" as her assistant literally had to pull him away.

Clark left the room thinking about their dinner tomorrow was it strictly business? Or was it more than that, he couldn't do that to Lois, he reached in his pocket and took out the card, the smell of it hit him like a tonne of bricks, the same gorgeous perfume she'd been wearing during the meeting, suddenly he forgot Lois and all that he could think of was Mindy, he held the card to his nose sniffing again deeply before tucking it back into his inside pocket as he headed back to the Daily Planet office.

*Meanwhile in Mindy's Office*

Tempus reveals himself from a revolving mirror door, Mindy looked annoyed "He was hardly the love **** you promised Tempus, I was expecting him to be kissing my feet. NOT ASKING ME ABOUT INTERGANG" Tempus approached the desk with a mask on so not to inhale any stray molecules of the perfume "My dear Mindy, the perfume worked, he soon changed his tune when you asked, besides these things take time breaking up Lois and Clark is the first step, first we get her out of the way," Mindy looked up at Tempus and how do we get him away from her?" "Simple we make him choose you over her in a public place, embarrassing dear Miss Lane and making you and Superman the Metropolis' newest it couple" Mindy smiles from ear to ear taking Clark's card, she calls the number "Hi this Clark Kent, please leave a message when you hear the beep", "Hi Clark it's Mindy I was just thinking about you...and our dinner plans, I feel bad you're changing your plans with Lois invite her along, but meet me there first I've got something personal to ask you, see you soon Clarkie" she hangs up deeply kissing the card and throwing it on the desk laughing as she lights up a cigar seeing visions of Superman whisking her around the city.
