A lot of the story is written already so if you all like it then please leave feedback and me know and I'll post more :) and please ask if you have any questions And For those of you willing to read through the mystery of the first few chapters, well your in for quite a ride :D




Time After Time



Chapter 1


I felt her presence today. She has held control of my heart since childhood...Even from the grave she calls to me tugging at my soul. Is it not enough that I’ll never again gaze upon her graceful features, never again hear the soft bells of her ringing voice, Never again hold her small soft hands within my own? Hands that have the power to send fire and ice tearing through my veins with a single brush against my skin… “Uhhrrg,’ The the bedraggled man moaned as he recalled the events of earlier that evening….

I had been standing at home plate, my team mates cheering me on, Bat poised ready for the Swing that Would send the ball whistling through the air. A single bead of sweat fell from the pitcher’s brow as he wound back for the pitch… A slight breeze picked up and the world seemed to freeze as I was immersed in what could only be 'her scent’, My nostrils flared in an attempt to breathe in the distinct smell, like a field of wildflowers reaching for the early sun, dripping off their morning coats of dew. The air danced around me, evading my attempts to completely capture any sense of comfort in her unexpected presence. It whipped through my hair and circled down around my chest causing to heave in response to what felt like a longing embrace. Then as fast as the breeze had come it left. The world spun back into action. “STRIKE!!! And that’s game” declared the ump. (End memory)

He rolled over in bed...sleep beginning to overtake him “You should visit her grave, you owe her that much" the voice in his head said. 'It would bring to much pain… I…I cant take any more pain' he thought back. "Pain yes... but healing too" the voice countered. Silent tears slid down his cheeks as he hugged his pillow closer in a poor attempt for comfort… ‘I miss you so much…’ and with that he embraced sleep… ‘I’ll see you in my dreams…’



…. Earlier that evening….

A small Jet pulled off the Metropolis landing strip, The engines letting out a high pitched whine as they begin to shut down. After pulling to a stop, the door pulled open and a mini escalator was placed under it. The few passengers on board practically sprint down the moving stairs… just happy to be off the small Air-Craft that had held them captive for the last 8-½ hours.

The last passenger paused on top of the small platform, The sun glinting off her glossy black hair, done up in the latest fashion, as she glanced up taking in the sight of the Kansas horizon. She inhaled deeply savoring the sweet air, and allowed herself a small smile, showing off her brilliant white teeth and perfectly formed lips. 'Almost home’ she thought. She began to place her first graceful foot toward the stairs, but froze as a sudden burst of chilling wind swirled in around her, stealing from her a gasp of surprise. She brought her delicate, yet well-defined arms under her breasts and wrapped them around herself in an attempt to regain body heat. The strange wind wrapped around her stealing away her very breath, and rendering her hug useless as it stole all comfort from that as well. Then just as stealthily as it had come, it departed, dashing off over the distant landscape and beyond. She stood there transfixed, a slow tingle spreading down her spine… “Ahem... Ms.Small?...” she turned to see the flight crew waiting behind her... "Sorry” she managed to whisper and placed her 3 inch stiletto the rest of the way down to the moving stair. She made her way to the Taxi stand, Hurring in an attempt to avoid the crowds as much as possible. Men and women alike turned to watch her pass by, Some discreetly.. Others Not.

“Where to Miss?” said a cabbie with a day old beard and a tipped Beret on his balding head... Ignoring his ogling stare, that was focused way south of her eyes, She replied, “The Alexander Hotel.”

Chapter 2
(This is our mystery man's dream/ flashback :) )


“SON…” a deep voice, rich with care, called out through the open door of a small ranch home. The tall muscular farmer turned from the door frame and glanced over his shoulder to the kitchen 5 yppaHwhere his wife was putting the finishing touches on a B-day cake that read "Happy 5th birthday Emily!" He paused for a moment admiring her. He smiled to himself, thinking about how lucky he was to have such a wonderful partner in life… Not to mention beautiful! Sensing his eyes on her she glanced back and sent him a playful wink. He shook his head, and let out a chuckle before turning back to the door. “CL… oh! Well hello there Speedy!” He said, looking down. “Where have you been? Your mother is waiting for you!” He smiled and ruffled his callused fingers playfully through the boy’s hair.

The Boy beamed up at his Dad, then, holding a fist full of freshly picked Irises in one hand and the other hand hidden behind his back, he dashed over to his mother. He stopped just short of knocking her and the Cake to the floor… he looked up slowly, embarrassment painted across his small face, expecting to find chastisement for his sporadic clumsiness, his cheeks turning a soft shade of pink, instead he found his mother’s kind eyes beaming down at him, full of love. “Are those for me?” she asked with a knowing smile. He was always bringing her gifts from around the farm… Some more welcome than others... She thought back to the time he brought home the neighbors cow…

The Boy shook his head and placed the Irises on top of Emily’s nicely wrapped birthday gift box. Then he pulled his other hand from behind his back offering her a fistful of Wild Daisy’s, most of them red, her favorite color. She smiled wide, picking him up for a big hug. “Looks like I have some competition for your affections!” His Dad said with a wink from across the room. When she put him back down, she noticed she had gotten some icing on his clothes, “Sweetie why don’t you go get Changed for the party…” He Sprang for the Stairs… “And run a comb through that wild hair of yours!”

Turning her attention back to her husband she opened her mouth to speak, “I’m worried…” But she was cut short when his Sun-bronzed arms swept her into a close embrace. He spoke softly into her shoulder “I know sweetheart…so am I, but we can’t deny him a chance at having a normal childhood.” “We both know he’s anything but normal” she countered with a sigh of desperation. “Which is exactly why it’s so important for him to learn some social skills before he starts school next month,” He rebutted. Giving in she let out a deep sigh, sending warm breath over his muscular chest. “Your right, I know…but it’s still hard”

A polite honk from the driveway jolted them back into motion. Taking a look at the Sunflower shaped clock she exclaimed, “Why sir, it appears that if you don’t leave right this minute you’ll miss your ride to the farmers meeting! Go! Go on! Git!” She whooped, while swatting him across his backside playfully with a dishtowel. He grabbed his Denim jacket from the coat rack next to the front door, and looked back over his shoulder offering a smile and a wink as he strode out onto the porch. He welcomed the Cool evening air by inhaling deeply through flared nostrils. “Wait” he heard just as he started his descent from the porch. “Forget these and they’ll send you walking back home before the meeting even starts!” She handed over the fresh baked Pie and a basket filled with all kinds of baked goodies. He reached in for a rather nice looking Peanut Butter cookie … ‘whack’…”If you so much as lose one thing from that basket, you’ll be eating leftovers for a week!” she said, a little flushed in the cheeks. You make sure Sheriff Ethan gets those ya hear?” He nodded and slowly looked up with puppy eyes and just a hint of a pout. ’I never have been able to resist that charm’ She thought to herself. “Okay just one but that’s it!” He reached up and pulled her in for a kiss, then wasting no time he grabbed the biggest cookie and crammed the whole thing into his mouth.

Watching him leave her mind drifted... being unable to have children on they're own had only served to bring them closer through the years... They're son was a blessing from heaven and when he arrived they wasted no time in welcoming him with open arms...Adoption papers were only a formality. They knew he was meant for them from the moment they laid eyes on him... and so had he...

Chapter 2 (part2)


“Let’s go honey!” the farmers wife called out while picking up the cake (now in a box) and walking towards the door. The boy beat her there, and with flowers and gift in hand opened the front door for her. They climbed into their old truck and drove off; each happily emerged in their own thoughts. Finally arriving at their destination, they parked in the circular driveway behind several other cars, and meandered their way through an impressive display of Rose bushes ending at a freshly whitewashed porch. They climbed up the stairs, and as politely as one can, they rang the doorbell. Shortly after, the door swung inward and they were greeted by the warm smiles of Mrs. Dinsmoore and the birthday girl, Emily. Both mothers watched with smiles as the boy handed Emily her gift and flowers. Not knowing exactly what to do next, (this was the first time he had ever been to a birthday party after all) he tentatively folded his hands behind his back. “Thank you!” Emily said politely. He smiled, and then glanced past her as she turned to placing his gifts on a nearby table, which was already overflowing. His eyes widened at the sight of all the activities taking place just outside in the large backyard. “Go on son…” His mother prompted with an encouraging smile. “…And be careful!” she added, raising an eyebrow for emphasis.

“Emmellee… Emily!!! Oh there you are! Will you come and ride the Ponies with me? Please???” Emily turned from just having closed the door, and noticing her best friend racing toward her she narrows her eyes cautiously, “But that’s the new party dress that your aunt made for you, Its so beautiful, How will you keep it clean? Not to mention the ponies are smelly! You would get into so much trouble!” “Emily’s friend wrinkled up her nose and muttered under her breath… “Then auntie should have let me wear my jeans and Care-bears T-shirt…” Then much louder she added, “I’ll be very careful...Oh Please Em? There is a white one with brown speckles and a shocking red mane... he’s so beautiful” Her mind drifting to thoughts of riding him through opens fields of wild flowers…” But I’ll settle for your back yard,” She added. Emily looked at her with puzzlement oblivious to what was going on in her friends mind. ”OKAY! OKAY! Fine silly,” Emily giggled as ran towards the back door.

The little girl turned to follow the birthday girl, but stopped as her eyes fell on the gift table... “Oh! ...” She exclaimed, ‘How could Emily just leave those there!? If they were mine I’d put them up in the center of my room, where they would be sure to be safe’ She leaned over and sniffed at the object of her admiration... “Mmm Irises my fav…” ‘UMPFF’. ”OWW!!! Who pushed me!?” she exclaimed loudly while turning around quickly. A boy with straight light brown hair ran off snickering at how funny he thought his prank was. She ran after him, fuming mad, but once outside he had disappeared into the crowd of laughing children and happy Clowns, some of whom were making animal shaped balloons and others who were face painting. She had already gotten her face painted. She had just asked the clown for some glitter around her eyes. Already beginning to forget about the naughty little boy she dashed off toward the pony corral.

(Boy’s P.O.V.)

‘HMmm, Good’ thought the wild haired farm boy as he chewed on a bite of pepperoni pizza… ’Mmmm, even better’ he thought while lowering a can of Soda Pop from his lips. Half way down his hands dropped the goodies, and his eyes widened in terror, as he watched a boy with light brown hair drop a firecracker under the hooves of a dazzling white Pony. Realizing that the Pony would be spooked, he dashed toward the girl sitting unaware on the Pony’s back.

(Girls P.O.V.)

‘CRACK!!!’ Before she even knew what was happening the girl found herself whistling through the air. Everything seemed to go into slow motion as her mind refused to accept what was happening. As she began her descent toward the hard floor thoughts of death brought swiftly by the Pony’s trampling hooves floated through her mind, ‘I always knew I would die young… I just didn’t think it would be this young!’
She let out a shrill wail... “AHHHHH!!!…” ’TWUMP!’ A loud “Umpfff” came from her vocals as she hit the… ’wait… that was a rather soft landing!’ she thought to herself. ‘I must have landed on some blankets or maybe a pile of hay?’ She clambered up to her feet and looked down… Her eyes came to rest on those of a young boy whom she had never seen before, “D…did…you catch me?” she asked him in a soft voice. He didn’t say anything. He seemed to be frozen in a crouched position with one Knee and one balled up little fist on the ground.’ Hmm, my own personal Superhero’ she thought to herself with a smile.

(Boys P.O.V.)

‘Please don’t fall… please don’t…’ the boy pleaded in his head as he ran towards the girl. He managed to dive under her just in time to break her fall. The next minute was a confusing bustle of white satin fabric and Pink lace as the girl untangled herself and climbed to her feet. He started getting up too, but halfway off the ground he froze, mesmerized… ‘Have I somehow died?’ He thought to himself. ‘Here before me stands an angel... The stars, outlining her delicate frame in the dark sky behind her are dull in comparison to her warm smile. And her eyes, they shine so bright the Moon is sure to be jealous… I can see right through them to her very soul…’ “Are you my Angel?” He said out loud, unable to withdraw his gaze from her hazel eyes...not that he wanted to anyways.

The Heavenly being blushed a light shade of pink and began to giggle. To his ears, it sounded like tender bells ringing softly in the morning breeze. ‘But why is she amused?… Oh!...’ He flushed a little as he realized that his “angel” was really the girl who fell from the pony. ‘Is it my imagination or did the stars just swell around her, as if offering her their approval?...’ She began drifting backwards, farther and farther away. He shook his head sending his unruly hair in every direction. He snapped out of his trance at the sound of his mother’s voice… “Are you o.k. sweetheart?” She asked, worry etched across her face. He turned his face to her, and smiled an acknowledgment. She knelt down beside him and brushed an ‘S’ shaped curl off of his forehead. But as always it just fell right back to it’s seemingly permanent home. He glanced back to where the girl had been … gone… ‘Why do I feel empty all of the sudden? Like a piece of my heart has just been ferried away forever?’ His brow wrinkled slightly as he fell into deep thought.

In the distance a Red faced boy with light brown hair was being hauled away by the ear… “Whitney, you are grounded for a month! She could have been seriously hurt!” hissed the very angry Mother.

With the Drama past, parents began saying their goodbyes, and children happily accepted goody bags as a parting gift. Many of which were already piling into their respective cars, chatting about the cool party, and peeking into their candy filled bags.

The young boy’s mind swirled around thoughts of his recent encounter, wondering who the girl was. He followed behind his mother as she said goodbye to Mrs.DinsMoore, “Thank you for inviting us to Emily’s party, everything was absolutely beautiful!” “I should be thanking you! Emily’s cake was breathtaking!” responded Mrs.Dinsmoore with a hug.

From the porch, a pair of Almond shaped eyes followed the boy as he climbed into a red truck… “I wonder who he is…” the watcher pondered aloud.

(Boys P.O.V.)

As his mom started the engine he felt his gaze being drawn to the Porch. Standing in a pool of soft moonlight was his ‘Angel’. Her eyes shone with a light of their own. Her dark hair flowed over her shoulders, a refreshing contrast to her white dress. Which at the moment was so dazzling, it appeared the stars had hung themselves upon it. “She’s my Angel,” He declared aloud. His Mother’s jaw dropped, the shock of hearing him speak aloud for the first time throwing her completely off guard. Her expression changed to a knowing smile when she saw the object of his praise. Her thoughts trailed off a little… ’Poor boy, he’s had such a rough start, but things are looking better, he’ll be talking nonstop soon, I just know it…things will be just fine…’ “Yes, I believe she is…” She whispered aloud. “I believe she is”

Chapter 3



“ANGEL BEAR!” Clark gasped, as he woke from his dream/memory. His Blue silk sheets gliding down his chiseled Pec’s then rippling over his highly defined Ab’s as he bolted upright in bed. “My My Clark. Must have been quite a nice dream… Lana, no doubt” Mumbled a voice from somewhere in the distance. He wasn’t ready to wake up yet…and desperately grasped at the fleeting dream… ‘The Happy ones come so few’… but the blissful slumber escaped him, and he was plunged back into the harsh reality that was his life. Sighing, He swung his muscular legs over the side of the bed, and stood up slowly, stretching his arms wide as he reached his full height. “Huuu… Aahh” he yawned. He pulled a white T-shirt over his head as he padded out into the bright living room.

“Lois?… what are you doing here?” He asked, still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. She flicked him an exasperated look of disbelief, “…I left a message on your machine, don’t tell me you don’t even have enough time to check your messages…” Clark glanced over to his desk… sure enough the little red light was blinking… ‘Bleep.. Bleep’ pause ‘Bleep.. Bleep’ Lois sighed her annoyance and continued rummaging through the coat closet.

Clark pressed the play button…’Beep’… ”Two new messages…first message”… “Clark? Claaurk… no surprise your not home… listen, I’ll be coming by tomorrow afternoon to pick up the last of my things…” ’click’… ‘Wait did she just say afternoon?’ He glanced out the large picture window. 11 floors down, he saw the sidewalks bursting with people. Cars, mostly cabs were darting along the one-way street. He felt the warm afternoon sun tickling his face… ”Ooh No” he groaned… ‘Beep’… ”next message…” “KENT!!! Where is your lousy butt!!! Your interviewee has been waiting all morning!!! And you’ve got a deadline on that Orphanage scandal due on my desk by 1!… You’d better get in here now or I’ll give the article to… (the recording got muffled as his Boss called out to one of Clark’s Co-workers)… (‘JIMMY get in here and take my blood pressure’)… Just get here, NOW Kent!!!”… ’Click’… ’Beep…beep…beep’… “End of messages.”

Clark let that all sink in for a second, then sped through the flat, showering, and dressing. 2 minutes later, (the shower always slowed him down…the water just couldn’t match his speed) he grabbed his brief case and headed for the front door… ‘Uh, Lois’ he had forgotten that she was there. Clark turned slowly using his X-Ray vision. He found her in the guest room rifling through a Dresser.

“Where is that darn shirt? I know it’s old, but it’s my favorite for snugg…” she let her voice trail off as Clark came in the room. He walked over to the closet and reached into the back of the shelf... he had to levitate just a little to reach it… he handed it to her with downcast eyes. “Thanks.” She mumbled. “Lo’… you… you don’t have to go…” he said barely louder than a whisper. She shifted her weight to one foot. “Clark we’ve been over this…and yes I do!” she stated firmly. Clark walked out to the kitchen and plopped down into one of the four sturdy chairs surrounding the circular Oak table. He stared with blank eyes at the flower arrangement that he had brought home from Holland a few days earlier. Lois followed him in and crossed over to the counter top leaning back against it.

Reciting for the 5th time, in as many days, she said somberly… “When I first met you, you looked so broken and lost… I thought maybe I could help bring you out of that abyss…“ She paused remembering that day, almost a year ago, when she saw him walk through the doors of the Daily Planet. ‘He had bloodshot eyes, and a beard that looked liked it hadn’t been cut in weeks. He hadn’t looked disappointed when the only job Perry offered him was an errand runner. “And only if you shave that beard, son.” Perry had said. “Then, just a few days later I met Superman… I fell in love on the spot.” ’He had saved me from an out of control Taxi’. She recalled. “I was lost in his eyes… so deep… so sad…” ‘It took me awhile to win over his attention… If I ever had it in the first place,’ She thought to herself sadly. If I hadn’t found the superman suit in Clarks briefcase that one day… he might never have told me his secret… It took me weeks to convince him that he needed someone to be there for him, that he needed a friend.’ “I gave you all my Love. And while I know you and superman both care for me in your own ways… I also know your heart has always been with ‘her’… I thought your heart would heal over time… then maybe you would trust me with your affections.” A tear slid, silently, down her cheek. ”I needed Superman.” She drew in a sagging breath, fighting back tears, and pressed on “…but …so did the whole world… I thought I could share you… I’ve come to realize… you were never mine to share.” ‘And… I’ve found someone who claims to love me…’ she thought to herself.

Neither of them was at all bothered by the fact that Clark had a near split personality… Bumbling Clark Kent and Suave Superman Co-existed peacefully together in one body. She had learned to love the timid, soft-spoken farm boy over time. But Clark knew it was Superman that she held most high in her affections. And she was right that Superman just didn’t have the time to meet her needs. She was also correct in that his heart belonged to someone else…and always would. He had considered her a good friend even though she had made several attempts at being more than that. Now she was shutting him out of her life, he felt alone again, no one to confide in… no one to trust.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard her speak again. “I have to go… goodbye Clark.” Clark looked up as she stepped through the front door. “Lois wait… here…” He crossed the room picking up a box of CD’s off the Red leather couch. “Goodbye Lois... Thanks for believing in me, even when I didn’t.” She crossed the hall and pushed the elevator ‘down’ button. Then looking back over her shoulder, she added her last thought, “You should go visit her grave… Otherwise I fear the pain that’s inside of you will continue to eat you up like a cancer. You need to find some resolution to your anguish before you end back up in the darkness that threatens to consume your soul again.” With that she stepped into the waiting elevator. He stood there for a long while, seemingly lost in thought.

Then seemingly reaching some conclusion in his head, he picked up his briefcase, and headed for the elevator.

Chapter 4




Clark stepped out of his building onto the busy street, and headed toward an unclaimed cab directly in front of him. Only vaguely aware of how improbable that situation was, given the demand for cabs. The Cabby opened the door for him as he approached. “Daily Pl…” he started to say but was cut off by the growling cabby.” Planet. I know. Your Boss has had me waiting here for ½ an hour already!”… “I’m adding that to your tab.” he added quietly. Clark mumbled something incoherent, lost to the world as his thoughts drifted back to happier times…


Clark woke to the sound of his mother’s voice calling from down stairs. “Claaarrrk. If you don’t hurry you’re going to be late for your trip!” “Be there in a minute Mom.” He called down the stairs. ‘I bet the only reason they want me to go to summer camp is so they can have some time alone...Yuck!’ He thought to himself, wrinkling up his nose. He showered and dressed, a little slower than he should have, before clambering downstairs to his waiting breakfast. “Mmm,” Waffles with a whip Cream smile and Blueberry eyes and nose, a pile of sausage, and eggs Sunnyside up with toast. “ffanks Mum!” Clark said around a mouthful of eggs. Martha looked up from washing dishes with a warm smile, “Well I can’t send you off with an empty stomach, now can I?”… “Oh and here is your basket for the Picnic.” She added with a wink. “Wasn’t I supposed to make this myself?” He asked. “It’ll be our little secret” she said with a mischievous grin. “Your Father is waiting outside to give you a ride, so get going!” She said. And don’t forget your camping gear” “k Mom. I’ll miss you.” He said giving her a hug. “ Miss you too sweetheart, See you in a week.” She responded, giving the top of his head a Kiss.

(An hour later…)

“Thanks for the ride Dad” Clark said while jumping out of the truck and grabbing his things out of the back. “OH No! Dad I forgot my Picnic Basket. Will you tell Mom I’ll run home right after Orientation to pick it up?” “Sure thing Son.” Jonathan said with a Smile. ”And Clark?… I want to give this to you… It was your grandfathers… He gave it to me when I went to 7th grade summer camp… Now I’ll do the same for you…” (Clark smiled while running his finger over the initials ‘H.K.’ carved into the ivory hilt) “Son?… Be safe… And have some fun! Okay?” Clark gave Jonathan a bear hug that left him breathless. And jogged off to the where the other “almost’ 8th graders were gathering.

Clark glanced around the group of excited kids, looking for a familiar face. “Pete! Hey, I didn’t know you were coming to camp!” Clark exclaimed walking closer to his best friend. “Ya it was kinda last minute, my folks said they thought it would be good for me to ‘get out of the house for a while’… I just think they wanted some time alone!” Pete said with a shrug of his shoulders. “ Yea I know what you’re talking about. … So uum… have you by chance seen...someone here?… I mean a girl… Uhh…” “ You mean have I seen Lana?” Pete cut in with a teasing grin. “Oh yea her too (Clark mumbled his cheeks turning a rosy color)... so have you... seen her, I mean…” “ Pete shook his head ”sorry man haven’t, but I have seen plenty of Huney’s!” Pete said rubbing his hands together and winking at a girl standing a few feet away. “Clark rolled his eyes and was about to restart his search, when a booming voice came over the P.A. system. “ Boys and Girls welcome to 7th grade summer Camp! We are going to start by assigning you your cabin and Camp Counselor…..”

(An hour later…)

“Whew, I’m glad we got the same cabin.” Pete sighed looking over at Clark. “…Hey Clark!… Earth to Clark!…” “hmm, Oh yeah that’s great Pete… Listen can you take my stuff up to the cabin please? I forgot something I gotta go get.” Clark said a little distracted. “Fine …but I get top bunk.” Pete bargained in reply.

Clark was home and back in 20 minutes. But by that time the groups had already taken off for the lake, where they had paired off and rowed across the lake, with picnic baskets in hand scouting for the best place to have lunch before the big ‘first day bon fire'. Clark jogged over to the edge of the lake and approached his Team Counselor. “Hi Mr. McDowell, sorry I’m late.” Clark said with his eyes downcast. “Mr. Kent, I presume… Well your in Luck...It appears your not the only student running late today.” He said with a frustrated grunt, looking down the sandy beach at the boat docks. Clark followed his gaze down to the crystal blue water. He broke into a big smile when he saw a familiar figure struggling to tug a rowboat to the Dock. “Clark! Don’t forget to be back by seven for the Bon Fire!” He called to Clark’s quickly retreating back.

Clark reached the boat dock just as Lana was about to fall in with the boat. “Oh!” she exclaimed as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back up to stable footing. She glanced up into his eyes and felt her whole body blushing with the intensity of his Hazel eyes. “Thanks Clark… I uh… hmm…” He was so close, she could feel his warm breathe tickling her lips, She licked her own unconsciously. She tried again to form a coherent thought. But all she got this time was a thought about his rippling muscles wrapped around her waist…”Hmm” she breathed. Clark, waking from his trance, and realizing he was still holding her, let go quickly hoping she hadn’t noticed his lingering hold on her… “Uh Sorry.” He said glancing away trying to hide his burning cheeks. “Here, I’ll ah get the boat... I mean if it’s okay that I ride with you” He added quickly. “Of course it’s o.k.” she laughed. “If not for you I would be drowning under that boat by now!” Her eyes widened at the sight of Clark, effortlessly lifting the boat over to the water. “Wow” She gasped, biting her lip in an attempt to distract herself from his bulging muscles. “Oh, Lana, could you grab my picnic basket for me?” He asked from inside the boat. “Sure, she said glancing around for hers as she picked his up. “ Oh no.” she moaned. Clark followed her gaze to a small whicker basket and it’s contents floating away in the current. “Uh Lana I have enough to share... I mean... you don’t have to eat with me… I uh... well you probably already have someone to eat with... I’m sure…” Lana jumped at the chance to spend more time with her Favorite Hero. “ Oh NO! I mean… No I don’t have anyone to eat with...That is if… You really don’t mind sharing with me?” Offering her a hand he smiled “It would be my pleasure.” She placed her hand in his, confident that he wouldn’t let her fall into the water,then gracefully sat across from him. His large frame took up so much space in the boat, they’re knees were almost touching.

Clark picked up the large oars, and with one big pull they shot out into the darker waters of the lake. “WEE!” Lana exclaimed, as the sun warmed her upturned face, and the wind flailed her long hair in every direction. “I didn’t know these boats could go so fast!…then again, with muscles like those it’s no wonder” ‘Oh! Did I just say that out loud?’ she glanced at Clark from under her long eyelashes, but he seemed lost in his own thoughts... She sighed in relief and consciously forced herself to look any where but his muscular legs that were brushing gently against her own every time he pulled back against the water.
Clark sat entranced, secretly admiring her, lost in his own thoughts ‘At times she appears so sad, almost like she is drowning in unshed tears… then other times, like now she seems so free… like for a moment she has forgotten the world and it’s burdens… I wish she felt free to smile like this all the time…’ Clark was whipped back into focus as an ear-wrenching crack sounded out; a large tree branch had whacked him across the back of his shoulders. He rolled with the impact trying to avoid the obvious, that it was the tree that broke and not him, and ended up head first in the water. He stayed under for a moment, dreading the embarrassing moment of facing Lana after his klutzy fall.

Chapter 5: Business as... un-usual (http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1536014#post1536014)

[SuperNes]

“Oh! Clark!” Lana stood up ready to jump in, expecting to possibly find Clark floating unconscious. Her face turned white when he was nowhere to be seen. “CLARK!” she swiveled her gaze 360 degrees “ CLARRK!!!” She was just about to dive in after him when she heard a splash behind her. The boat tilted sideways. She turned around to find him pulling himself over the other side. “UhMpff” she exhaled, helping to pull him in. “You big OAF! I thought you were dead! I...I…” tears began streaming down her cheeks. “Lana, I’m o.k. … Really… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to scare you..” He reached over with a dripping wet hand and brushed a warm tear off her cheek. “Oh!” she jumped in response to his gentle touch. “Your so cold! You’ve got to get those clothes off before you go into shock!” She forcefully pulled his shirt off, ignoring his claim that he was fine. “Let me see your back” she demanded. “Clark there isn’t a mark on you!” Her eyes were wide with wonder as she looked from him to the fallen tree branch bobbing up and down in the water just feet away. “Uh, it must have hit the boat first.” He lied. Trying to change the subject, he quickly added, “Sorry I rowed us right into this Island I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going… You aren’t hurt or anything are you?” Lana snapped out of her thoughts as she realized he was sitting there half naked. “Oh uh, No I’m fine... here…” She tore her eyes away from his washboard ab’s and fished around in his basket for the blanket she correctly assumed was there, Then with trembling hands, that ached to linger on his firm skin, she draped the red blanket over his shoulders. “That’s a nice color on you” she whispered, in a feeble attempt to take the attention away from her wandering eyes. “Thanks” Clark said cheerfully as he reached for the oars. “Considering your track record, maybe I should take us the rest of the way over!” She said through a joking smile. “Is that right?!” Clark laughed in response. The thought of her tugging at the oars and sending them in circles, floated through his mind; he tossed his head back for a hearty laugh sending water flying from his dark curls. Lana gasped in surprise as several large drops of water splashed her face. With a mischievous smile, she swung her arm over the side of the boat and began splashing him back. Clark joined in the water fight, and soon they were both clutching at they’re sides, laughing so hard that tears joined in with the lake water running down they’re faces. “OH! Ahh! Ohh! Stop! Sstop! I can’t take it! I give I give!” Clark hooted as she sent one more wave his way. They spent a moment just looking into each others smiling eyes. Clark was the first to break the rich silence when he noticed a chill run over Lana’s skin. “Here” he swung the blanket over her shoulders. “Not that it’ll do much good!” She snorted in laughter. He glances at it and noticed it was soaking wet too. Their laughter rippled across the lake, eventually landing on the ears of a slumbering swan. She arched her neck up in inquiry to the origins of the sweet bell tones. Seeing no threat from the boat swiftly gliding along toward the opposite shore, She tucked her head back under her wing and continued her peaceful nap.

Clark jumped into the water as they approached the sandy beach, and pushed the Boat up halfway on shore. He waded back around and found Lana’s legs dangling over the edge of the boat. “Go any farther miss and you’ll get wet again” He turned his back to her as an offer for a piggyback ride. “You spoil me!” She giggled as he waded gently up to the sandy beach and squatted till her feet were firm on the dry, hot sand. “Thank you.” she said while brushing a stray hair behind her ear. “Spoil, Huh! Well then we’ll just have to fix that! You can tie down our massive ship, while I go get our bounty of food!” she stuck her tongue out at him in return to his jest, then cheerfully grabbed the anchor rope and headed for a washed up tree trunk a little higher on the beach.

“So where should we enjoy our feast” she asked as Clark approached with the basket. ”Actually, I know a really great spot…that is if you don’t mind a little hike?” He said while folding up the wet blanket and shirt. She raised an eyebrow and asked,” Where is it?” “Oh it’s not too far… me and Pete used to camp out there all the time when we were younger… and we won’t need the blanket there either!” He said with a smile twitching the corners of his mouth. The laughter in his eyes was so contagious, that she couldn’t help smiling while she answered, “I’m game, Lead the way!” They took off up a slightly beaten path, and reveled in the quiet woods, Soaking in the serenity all around them. Lana walked a few paces past Clark before realizing he had stopped. Coming out of her peaceful thoughts her gaze focused on the biggest Tree stump she had ever seen. “I almost walked right into it! She chuckled aloud. “How could a tree this big be cut down!” Clark came up beside her and spoke in a quiet voice. “Rumor tells that there was once a couple... They were in love, so much so that they didn’t see or care about the world around them. They had been strolling through these woods and they came across this tree... The young man wanted to build his love a house, unrivaled in beauty by any other in the whole world. So he spent day and night chopping down the tree they had found. He carved it into the most beautiful home ever seen. As soon as it was finished, a Forest fairy appeared and cursed them for their greed! She locked them in the house and hid it in the deep forest where none could find it. Before leaving she said:

‘Through night and day,
Months into years,
Locked here you shall stay,
Don’t waste your debt on tears.

For should there be another,
With them lies the key.
With a love more worthy than yours,
Will they set you free.

“Anyways, it’s been kind of a tradition for anyone in love to come and carve their initials on the stump.” He glanced at her to see if she had enjoyed the tale, and was surprised to see a tear in her eye. “Wow, that is so sad!” she whispered “Do you think it’s true?…" Clark smiled at her before answering, "Sure, why not" "Have you ever carved you initials in it?” She asked quietly. He shrugged and said, “Nah, I've never been here with a girl before…Ahem... so shall we eat?" He said climbing up onto the smooth surface.
After laying out the feast, they dug in whole-heartedly. Their shadows stretched farther and farther as the afternoon and evening sun sunk farther into the west horizon, Meanwhile they laughed, and talked… and of course, occasionally stole an admiring peak at the other when the other wasn’t looking. Finally, noticing the sun slipping behind the tree’s Clark stood and stretched his massive frame. He turned a little red when Lana handed him his shirt... ”It’s dry again” she said with a grin. “Oh! I forgot was shirtless! Lana I’m so sorry, I hope I didn’t offend you!” "I think I’ll recover just fine" she said with a smile.


While packing up all the leftovers, Lana snuck the pocketknife, which they had used earlier to slice some cheese, into her back pocket. Clark hopped off the stump and offered her a hand down. “Thanks... um… Clark can I catch up to you in a second?” He creased his brow in confusion “uh sure… Is everything okay?” “Huh?, Oh yeah I just uh forgot something up there…I’ll catch up, promise!” Shrugging his shoulders, he agreed and headed down the path at a slow pace.

Clark had just untied the boat and pushed it out a bit when he heard Lana jogging toward him. “H..here…You… forgot… this…” she huffed in between breathes. “Oh, Wow, thanks! My Dad would have been really angry if I lost it after only one day!” lifting her into the boat, he added, “If we hurry we can watch the sunset from the middle of the lake!” Lana’s face lit up “Oh Yes! Please hurry!”

They sat quietly watching the sunset, each relaxed in they’re own personal thoughts…

As the sun fell, a single ray shone through the woods glancing off a freshly carved heart, the center of it reading: L.L.
&
C.K.
As the ray of sunshine faded away, a new sprout of growth appeared in the center of that heart, soon there would be a new tree spreading it’s branches throughout the forest …

Clark shook his head...”Did you hear that?” he asked Lana. “Hmm? what?” she asked quietly. “It sounded like a door unlocking… Sorry I’m obviously hearing things!” He chuckled as he began to row towards shore. ‘Maybe the tale was true after all…' Lana thought to herself with a smile. 'This is going to be the best summer ever!'

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“Wake up Man! I said we’re here! You owe me $23 bucks.” The Cabby demanded. Clark shooh his head, tring to focus on the task at hand. He fishied in his wallet with unseeing eyes, and ended up handing the guy a $50 dollar bill. “Idiot is lucky he didn’t hand me a $100.” Mumbled the Cabby with a smirk, quickly pocketing the crisp bill.

Clark’s senses came on full alert as he walked through the tall glass doors of the Daily Planet. Every fiber of his being hummed with expectation. His senses were barraged with an overwhelming feeling of Lana’s presence. He quickly scanned the crowed plaza... His eyes fell onto the figure of an impeccably dressed woman waiting for an elevator… his forehead wrinkled in confusion as he rushed towards her. Her black hair fell just short of her shoulders…’Something isn’t right …but I can’t deny the feeling that she is near’ he thought to himself. The elevator door opened, and the Lady stepped in and turned around, revealing thin pursed lips. “Oh, excuse me miss I’m sorry!” he exclaimed as he backed away from her blue eyes that sent a clear message to every one to stay out of her way, her face was set in a permanent frown. “I thought you might be someone else…sorry.” 'How desperate of me’ he berated himself. ‘Now you’re walking around, seeing her places where she isn’t. The hair on my arms are still on end… I feel like she is almost within my reach… but alas it my own cruel mind is playing tricks on me… Maybe a short run will clear my head’ He walked briskly to the stairwell across the plaza, and pushed his way into the door. As soon as he was sure the stairs were clear he super sped up 3 flights of stairs, coming to a quick halt at the door that led to the reporters offices.

Meanwhile…

The door of the other elevator slides open, revealing a woman of unrivaled beauty, her raven hair cascades over her shoulders as her almond shaped eyes dance over the crowd, hoping to find a familiar face. She notices a door across the plaza, as it swings shut, she is compelled to look closer… ‘Was that an outline of a man standing there? … Something about him seems so familiar...Is it possible?’… She walked briskly to the still swinging door and peeked in…Empty… ‘How silly of me to let my imagination fool me...every time I see a dark head of wild hair, or hear a hearty chuckle…everything I see reminds me of him… everywhere I turn I seem to catch a glimpse of him… How sad am I, to long so much for his embrace…to dream so often of his tender kisses…’ Sighing heavily she turned and headed out the front doors. As soon as she stepped outside the heavy air assaulted her soft skin. “How fortunate, there’s a cab already here!’ She thought thankfully to herself, eager to get out of the heat. She lightly stepped into the cab and closed her eyes… enjoying the A/C. “Alexander Hotel please.” she exhaled to the cabby. Then added with a soft smile “This is the nicest smelling cab I’ve ever been in. It smells …like home”

The sly cabby peeled his eyes off the single most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and carefully closed her door. “Well my day just keeps getting better and better!” He said to himself, while stroking the crisp $50 dollar bill in his pocket.

Chapter 5


Clark stepped briskly out of the stairwell into the newsroom. He gave himself a quick check to make sure his shoes were still tied, and zipper hadn’t slipped during his brisk run up the stairs. Sure enough His lace hung precariously over the side of his shoe. He bent down, causing his black slacks to stretch taught over his firm buttocks. Standing back up he checked his shirt, realizing that in his haste to leave the apartment this morning, he might have grabbed a dirty shirt… Nope, a crisp Blue shirt answered back to his eyes. However he did fail to notice that his tie was hanging crooked from his shirt collar, and was only cinched up halfway. Satisfied with his appearance he stepped out into the frantic circus that was the Daily Planet.

To the unprepared eye it would seem like everything was chaotic beyond repair. But to those who worked here, it was a dance of sorts, a swirling mass of men and women in their business attire. Each attending to their own duties at hand. Clark began making his way through the massive room… ‘Why are people staring at me?’ he wondered. He looked over at the nearest gawkier… ‘What is that in her eyes?… Pity?’ She realized she had been caught staring and quickly dropped her gaze, focusing a little to hard on the armful of mail she had been delivering around the offices.

Clark finally got to his desk and placed his briefcase down on top of it. He was just turning towards the Boss’ office when, ‘twunk’… he felt a heavy slap on the shoulder. “Bout’ time you showed up boy! But you’re too late. Your interviewee left 5 minutes ago.” Clark turned toward the low growling voice of Perry White, Editor in Chief of the Daily Planet. He remained quiet, knowing that the Boss’ debrief wasn’t over yet. “She tired of waiting around in this Circus of rude Ogler’s” Perry added a little loud. It had the effect he was hoping for, as people quickly diverted they’re gaze from the two men and got back to their own work. Perry looked back to Clark and continued, “I had to beg her to reschedule, do you know how hard it is to get an interview with her!” Perry handed Clark a business card. Of course Clark knew. ‘Ms. Small was one of the worlds leading fashion designers, and on top of that she donated all the proceeds to charity for orphaned or homeless children. This interview would offer a much needed breathe of fresh air, amidst all the grueling coverage of the Orphanage Scandal.’ “The meet time and place are on the back. This is a huge opportunity Clark. I’m talking front page! Are you listening to me?…” Clark mumbled his affirmation to the latter, but his eyes remained transfixed to the upper left-hand corner of the card he was holding, where there was a picture of a women’s hazel eyes against a background of models handing children food and clothing. ‘Those eyes…‘ Clark ripped his intense gaze away from the enchanting eyes staring up at him from the card, and read the name… ‘Elizabeth Small, Founder of International Charity Fashions’… something about that name was tugging at his common sense… ‘For goodness sake Clark! You need professional help if your seeing and smelling her on a business card!’ He turned the card over and read: ‘8am- Dining room of the Alexander Hotel.’

Clark tuned back in and rewound to the last thing he had semi heard from his Boss… ‘ Gimme one good reason why I shouldn’t fire you on the spot Kent’… Clark glanced at Perry’s red face, and reached back to his briefcase. The clasps opened rapidly with a ‘Twang, Twang’. He shuffled a few things around before removing his hand with a stack of handwritten notes. Perry took a look at the Title of Clarks notes, ’Superman saves the day again’ his eyes widened and he rocked back on his heels, letting out a shrill whistle through his front teeth. “Well Now! I knew you were the best Damn reporter in the business! Isn’t that right?” He asked a passing intern. She smiled nervously and swept past a little faster then necessary. “Kent, you get this typed out and on my desk, if you finish before I go to print on the evening edition I’ll let you go home early” Clark nodded his thanks and began to sit down in front of his computer. “Oh and Kent, good game yesterday… last at-bat withstanding!” Perry shook his head and chuckled... “We stomped those no good Metropolis Stars real good! Sent them back to that Rag they call a paper with they’re tails between their legs”…

”Clark are you o.k.?” Perry asked when he noticed tears welling up in Clark’s eyes. Clark looked over at his boss, and whispered not really aware that he was speaking aloud. “I am so lost without her, everywhere I turn I see her, I smell her… I don’t know what to do…” Perry, thinking he was talking about Lois, and the obvious empty desk across the way, replied, “It’ll be okay son. I wasn’t sure how to break it to you… maybe you already know, but, she came in and quit today… said she got a better job offer… sorry son I know ya’ll were close friends.” Clark hadn’t even noticed her absence. But he glanced around, and suddenly all the staring made sense. People thought he was upset about Lois. ‘Oh-Well, let them think that, it’s better than them thinking I’m going crazy over a ghost’ Clark looked over to his boss, “I’ll be fine sir… I just…” Clark let his words trail off and then sunk down into his chair. It gave a squeal of protest to the weight of his muscles, but somehow managed to stay intact.

(2 hours later…)

Clark finally turned in his report to a smiling Perry, and headed out for the day. He almost stopped on the way home at the Tailors shop. He still hadn’t been fitted for the tuxedo that he needed to attend the Charity Ball on the fast approaching Saturday night. “Tomorrow” he mumbled to himself, and headed straight home. He got there and without bothering to change his clothes he fell right into bed. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow, within moments his slumber had taken him back to a memory of happier times…….

Chapter 6
(Part 1)


(Dream of a memory)

It was a week before the big Day. Clark was walking from school to the talon; He glanced up at the large red and white banner stretching across Main Street. ‘75th annual Valentines Day “switch em up “ fair and dance. See ya at the fairgrounds’! This was an event looked forward to all year, the entire county and beyond would show up for the day’s festivities. The roles were supposed to be reversed so that the girl had to ask the guy to be his valentine, she even had to pick out his Evening attire, arrange transportation and maybe even get him flowers. The guy had to pack a picnic and pick out her dress. It usually turned out being lots of fun seeing what clothing everyone had made the other wear. Clark sighed heavily and walked on. Today was the day that girls were supposed to ask a guy out, and technically it was supposed to be done by sundown He looked up the street, the stores were bustling with people shopping and making preparations for their big date, some looking dreamy, and others terrified. ‘I can relate to exactly what they are thinking’ Clark thought glumly, ‘what if the girl of my dreams doesn’t ask me?’ He arrived at the Talon and with a big gulp of air he pushed his way in.


His eyes scanned the crowd, and came to rest on Lana. She was talking with a customer at the cash register. Her eyes came up and met with his, he felt nervous anticipation rush through his veins.’ How does she do that to me with a single look?’ She smiled, and then turned her attention back to the lady at her counter. “Hey Clark!” He looked over slightly to the right and saw Pete and Chloe waving him over to the big plush couch where they were sitting. He ambled over, and plopped down in a couch opposite of them. ”Hi guys.” He sighed.

Chloe rolled her eyes in mock annoyance, “Don’t depress the rest of us just cause you still haven’t landed a date!” Clark looked up with a questioning look, “Don’t tell me you guys already have dates?!” Chloe blushed a little and looked over at Pete, talking into her orange coffee mug she said, “Uh, I kinda just asked Pete.”

Clark’s eyebrows shot up to his hairline, reaching over and slapping Pete on the back he exclaimed, “ALLRIGHT PETE! Pete’s head snapped towards Clark, His eyes wide with a silent Plea. Clark realized his blunder and quickly restated, “UH, I mean, I hope you guys have fun, together.” Clark glanced back to Pete offering him an apologetic look. Pete had had a Crush on Chloe since last year, something he didn’t exactly want Clark broadcasting to the whole coffee house!

Clark let out a sigh, “Looks like I’m the odd man out… maybe it won’t be so bad going solo…” He scrunched up his nose,” Ah who am I kidding, that would be the pretty depressing!” Pete gave him a light punch on the shoulder, “Hey man, you never know, I hear Lana is yet to ask someone.” Clark frowned at the floor, “way to support you best friend Pete, filling my head with false hopes… She could have any guy in the entire state just by crooking her finger!” He turned around on the couch and glanced over to where Lana was standing. A group of boys from the football team stood around her, each of them trying to win her attention in his own way. She just smiled politely as she took their orders. ‘Your so stupid Clark! If by some fat chance she would even think about asking you, wouldn’t she have done it by now?’ Clark turned back around with a forlorn sigh.

Chloe stood up and patted him on the shoulder, “While I’d love to hang around here all day at Club Pity Party, I’ve got some plans to make. This whole role reversal concept is seriously flawed…I can’t believe I have to let Pete pick out my Dress! For a girl shopping for a dress is supposed to be the best part. Instead I get to go browsing through men’s wear…Yea” she rolled her eyes at the last part to emphasize just how much she was going to enjoy that. “ Speaking of which, Pete I’ll only say this once, so if you value your life listen very carefully. If I see so much as one polka dot, or even a red scarf, I’ll make sure the suit you get to wear is one shade away from blinding Hot pink, AND one size to small…Let me sum it up… I. D.O.N.T. Wear Country!” she added a significant widening of the eyes as an extra emphasis.

As she turned to leave, Pete rubbed his hands together dramatically, “Oh don’t worry, I’ll be picking out something with hardly enough fabric for one polka dot let alone many!” Chloe’s head snapped back around, she was glowing bright red, but only managed a smile as he gave her a wink to show he was joking… a little” Clark had his mouth buried in his hand trying to stifle a laugh. When Chloe’s purse whacked him across the shoulders he could no longer hold in his amusement, “Oh, you two really know how to help a guy forget his troubles!”

Once Chloe had left, Pete leaned towards Clark and whispered excitedly “I can’t believe she asked me! Man this is gonna be great!” Clark grinned back, happy for his friend, “You two are going to look great together” They paused for a few moments each in they’re own thoughts. Pete finally broke the silence, “I can’t believe no one has asked you to the dance yet” Clark shrugged nonchalantly, “Yeah-well, I saw a few girls who looked like they wanted to, I guess they changed they’re mind or something.” Pete shook his head and tilted his body a little sideways in to the couch; dangling an arm over the side, “let me guess would one of ‘them’ happen to be ‘Lorry Sanders’?” Clark nodded, “Yeah, how’d you know?” Pete’s left eyebrow twitched up, “Are you kidding? Half the school knows she’s been trying to get your attention since the start of the school year!” Clark snorted, laughing a little “No way Pete. She a senior! Hello, I’m just a sophomore!” Pete looked at him seriously and replied, “If you would look away from Lana every once in a while, you might notice more than a few girls ‘crushing’ on you… Some seniors included!”

Clark just shook his head. He knew that Pete was probably right, but he just didn’t really care. Pete inquired, “So if Lorry asked you, would you go with her?” Clark thought about it for a moment. When he heard Lana’s sweet bells of laughter, he turned and watched. One of the Jocks was gesturing wildly with his arms while he told some joke. Apparently Lana thought this hilarious, and let out one more laugh before turning and heading back towards the counter, where she picked a red coffee mug to take to a customer. Clark blinked and turned back to Pete and quietly responded, “Yeah, I guess I would say yes. I mean it’s better than going alone right?” Pete just shrugged his shoulders.

“You already have a date, Clark?” Clark swung his gaze up as Lana placed a Red mug of mochiatto on the end table next to him. Clark inwardly smiled at the thought that he never had to order when Lana was around. She always started making his favorite drink as soon as she noticed he was there. “Hi Lana, Ohm no, I uh, don’t have a date… we were just...uh…” Clark let his sentence trail off as she slid in next to him on the Couch.

Pete noticed this as his cue to leave and quickly stood and pulled a five from his wallet and handing it towards Lana, “A-hem,” he cleared his throat, “Or I could just go without paying!” Lana looked up at him and taking the 5 with a grin, she said, ” I’ll just put the change towards the many times you’ve done just that!” Pete pasted an innocent look to his face, “Uhm right, well bye guys!” he waived. “Bye Pete” Clark and Lana said at the same time.

Chapter 6 (Part 2)




Clark lifted his right knee up onto the cushions and draped his arm over the back of the couch. “Thanks for the Coffee, Lana.” He said while getting comfy. She smiled back at him, “No Prob, It’s the least I can do for my Favorite customer.” Lana turned and crossed her legs on top of the couch so she could see him better, “Clark?…” her mind froze refusing to finish the sentence ‘Come on Lana, you’ve put this off all day, just ask him already! What’s the worst he could do? He could say no, and splinter my heart into a million pieces, that’s what! “… So ohm, How’d you do on the pop quiz in English Lit’?” ‘Stupid, stupid! Just ask him!’ Clark shrugged and picked up his Red Coffee mug, “A-Minus, Mr. Karl actually docked me 3 points for not putting my full name in the corner.” Lana shook her head and smiled, A strand of hair fell from her ‘Half up’ pony tail, and cascaded over her left eye. She was quiet for a moment, her forehead slightly creased. Clark knew this was Lana’s ‘I’m in deep thought, be back in a minute’ expression, he took advantage of the comfy silence to take a sip of his Macchiato.

The mug froze halfway to his lips, and his heart beat faster, There on his Whip Cream was a perfect heart formed from Hershey’s syrup. ‘Did She put that there just for me?…’ He glanced around the room and saw all the decoration’s for Valentine’s day on the walls’ I’m so desperate!’ He laughed at himself. ‘They are probably putting these in every one’s order!’ He brought the mug up the rest of the way to his lips and took a long Draught. “Mmm” he moaned, lowering the mug, “Perfect.” Lana gave a small giggle; leaning over his legs she extended her hand to his face. Clark sat rigidly still as her hand lingered over his lip. “you just have a little whip cream…right here” Fire rapidly followed by Ice shot through his veins as her fingers glided over his upper lip. He unknowingly closed his eyes and traced with his tongue the trail where her fingers had been, he almost moaned when he tasted her ‘Scent’ still lingering on his skin.

Lana couldn’t help herself, she watched him lick the remaining cream off his lip, ‘he’s taunting me on purpose, O.M.G.’ She grinded her teeth, eyes watering with the intense struggle to keep herself from reaching over and consuming him with an urgent kiss. She licked the whipped cream off her fingers and let out a moan, “Mmm Clhhhark” Clarks eyes shot open, ‘Oh! How embarrassing! She must think I’m such a loser!’ “Uh, Yea?..” He asked timidly avoiding eye contact. ‘What, what?… Did I say something out loud? He won’t even look at me!’ She turned beet red, and somehow managed to mumble, “I’ve got to get back to work.” Before dashing in mortified horror for the back storeroom, where she wrapped both arms around her stomach and bent over a little gulping in breathes of air. Her body quivered with a mix of embarrassment and desire.

Clark turned and watched her run off. She disappeared behind the door, so he used his X-ray vision for a quick moment.’ O.M.G. she is in there laughing at me’ he tore his gaze away from what appeared to be Lana bent over laughing. His heart sunk to the floor and stayed there as he imagined Lana jumping up and down on it, till it lay broken in a million pieces.

Chapter 6 (part 3)



Lana stops and listens to Swithchfoot playing over the radio…
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

‘Where you gonna go Lana? Do you want this? Come on get a grip, just go back out there and ask him.’ She started to go but froze again, fear of rejection overwhelming her senses, she put a hand on her stomach and tried to calm down…..
Meanwhile…

Clark stood up to leave; feeling completely crushed, and came face to face with Lorry Sanders. “Uh, High Clark.” She said in a high-pitched squeak. Clark gave her a weak smile and gestured to the couch, “Hi Lorry, Um you can have this couch, I was just leaving.” He tried to step around her, but she turned and called him back, “Clark? Actually I’m here to see you,…” she paused for a moment trying to muster up her confidence, “…I was hoping I could take you to the Valentines dance?”
Clark froze, ‘Oh I don’t feel like going anymore… But I don’t want to hurt her feelings…’ He glanced over his shoulder and again with X-ray vision took a quick look at Lana. She had one hand on her stomach, the other on the door, and she was taking big breathes of air. ‘Obviously trying to compose herself after such a huge laugh at my expense’ He thought glumly and turned back to Lorry’s eager/ terrified face. ‘Poor girl, well at least I can save her the feeling I’m going through right now.’ “Okay” He said flatly. Her face lit up with relief, “Great! I’ll pick you up on Saturday night then?” Clark nodded and she quickly headed for the doors before he could change his mind. Clark headed for the doors himself. He stepped out into the early evening and took a deep breathe of the quickly cooling spring air, trying to clear his thoughts.

‘Go Lana! Go!’ Taking a few deep breathes she steeled her wits and pushed her way through the doors into the main room. At first glance panic started to creep back into the pit of her stomach, Clark wasn’t at the couch anymore. She scanned the room, and saw his Blue denim jacket just as the front doors closed behind him.

“Clark?” His body froze involuntarily when he felt her warm hand tentatively touch his shoulder. He almost kept walking, but stopped when he heard her, ‘Her voice is shaking…’ He turned to her with worry in his eyes, “Lana, are you o.k.?” She froze under the intensity of his eyes, they were so compassionate, she let them delve into the depths of her soul…’ Finally finding her voice again, and without removing her gaze from the safety she found in his gaze, she spoke softly, “Clark, would you be my Valentine?” His eyes turned frantic and she braced herself for the heart-wrenching blow. “W-what! Are you not through mocking me?! If you don’t like me, fine I’ll find a way to deal with that. But to openly taunt me?! I didn’t know you could be so cruel!”

Lana’s mind desperately tried to wrap itself around what he was saying, her eyes darted first to his left eye then right, trying to find her way back in, “No, Clark I… “ She broke into tears when she realized that he was shutting her out, she felt a loneliness creep into her soul, ’ Clark’s eyes have always been open to me, trusting me to peer into every corner of his soul that I so wished, now… why is he shutting me out?… , Feeling lost, she sunk to her knees, the cold asphalt meeting her with a ‘thud’, she didn’t know why he was so angry, “I wasn’t joking… why would you say that?” She managed through muffled sobs.

Clark looked at her, confusion etched across his face. ‘Something doesn’t fit…? She…She isn’t joking…” Clark dropped to his knees and placed his large hands around her petite ones, “OH Lana! …I’m sorry! I … When you took off in there, I… I thought you were laughing at me… I.. oh, please don’t cry?” He moved both her hands into his left one and reached his other hand up to her cheeks wiping hot tears from them before moving back to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She turned her head into his open palm as it came away from her hair. She slowly pulled her gaze back up to his. Relief and warmth flooded her, as she was once again welcomed back into his worried eyes.

“Clark I got scared of my feelings… I… “ She leaned forward and buried her face into his shoulder and wept, letting all her fears pour out. “Ssshh, here…” he gently touched her chin and tilted her head up. With his other hand he took the corner of his red ‘T’-shirt and dried her swollen eyes. The sun had fallen behind the distant horizon. A little of winter’s chill still clung to the air and they’re breathe came out in long puffs of steam as they just stared at each other, not knowing how to proceed, Clark noticed a chill run over Lana’s skin. He shimmied out of his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders while helping her up off the cold ground.

“I’m not cold” she breathed softly, her eyes never leaving his. “But your skin? You have Goosebumps!” He protested, while stroking a hand down her exposed forearm, to prove his point. She inhaled sharply, closing her eyes at the feel of his caress, “It’s not the cold… It’s You… anytime your near I feel my body tense, with anticipation. And should I be so fortunate that we touch… I ah.. I loose all trace of coherent thought” ‘ I can’t believe I just told him that!’ ‘Am I really hearing this?’ Clark thought in disbelief. He felt Lana shift uncomfortably under his eyes. “What’s wrong?” he asked softly. “You just … well… you just haven’t given me an answer yet…” she whispered.

ahem it's Lady

sry SuperNes

[akuma]

Man lucky Clark got 2 ladies, but hey id take Lana anyday, come on now dump the other one and go with Lana!!!

[SuperNes]

OkaY, sO i'M GOING TO SWITCH THINGS UP IN HERE.. tHIS IS how it's gonna work... I'm hoping some of you have napster if not maybe you already own the album... I will post first any theme song that I want to have in the chapter, then I'll post the chapter, I've found It break's the flow of a story to paste lyrics right in the middle of the storyline...It would be so much better if the song was playing in the background ... Especially since the feeling is not only the lyrics but the music too. I'll post the lyrics first anyways in case some don't have access to the music.

I'll put a (*) where the tunes should start and an (**) where it should end... Sound good?


Okay here is my selection for todays update :)

(*1) Come On Closer by: JEM



Come on closer
I wanna show you
What I'd like to do
You sit back now
Just relax now
I'll take care of you

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

Gonna take it slow babe
Do it my way
Keep your eyes on me
Your reaction
To my action
Is what I want to see

Rhythmic motion
Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

And now you're satisfied
A twinkle in your eye
Go to sleep for ten
And anticipating
I will be waiting
For you to wake again

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

[When you wake up we'll
do it all again]
[When you wake up]
[When you wake up we'll
do it all again]
[When you wake up]

Hour after hour
of sweet pleasure
After this I guarantee
you'll never wanna leave
Shut your eyes and think about
what I'm about to do
Sit back relax I'll take my time
this lovin's all for you

BRB with the next update!

Con’t… again :P…




Chapter 6 (part 4)



“Lana you...” His eyes followed her every motion with laser quick precision, every nuance he felt in tune with. “…I… since we were kids, you have been the sole occupant of my dreams. I remember the first time I ever looked into your eyes…I thought you were and Angel that had come and taken a piece of my soul. Even now every time I gaze into your eyes, I lose another fragment, I don’t know what I’ll do when I have no more to lose... when you’ve taken it all.” He fidgeted his toes, feeling a little exposed at the revelations of his heart, “…Not that I would mind being lost in your eyes forever… but what if some day your feelings for me changed…what if you were to leave… I would be lost to you forever, my world without you would be so dark… How would I find the will to breathe apart from you?” He closed his eyes at the last, bracing himself for the fact that she was surely about to run away from the burden of his inmost feelings. But she stayed… “Why would I ever leave you?” she whispered softly. ‘I know of one thing that would make you run…’ In his mind he confessed to her the truth about himself, things he didn’t dare tell her out loud… or could he?…

(1*)He sensed her moving closer to his lips. He could feel her warm breath tickling his palate. Fearing to open his eyes, knowing he could deny them nothing, He swallowed hard “Llan” Immediately sensing his unease she changed course moving her lips near his ear instead, “Forgive my boldness” she breathed heavily, “I can’t resist…” She wrapped her arms around his waist, embracing him. His body responded of it’s own accord, melting into her embrace all thoughts and worries fled his mind. The world seemed to slow on it’s axis as they stood there for what felt like hours, both experiencing for the first time what it felt to have their feelings reciprocated. Lana spoke into his chest, while breathing in his stunning scent, ”I feel like I’m…” Clark finished the sentence with her “…finally home” (**)

Lana’s tummy rumbled in a cry for food. Clark felt her blush, and let out a deep chuckle at the cuteness of it. He looked around for the first time since he had left the Talon…’OH NO! The talon…Lorry!’ Lana’s eyebrow pulled together in worry at Clark’s sudden change in stance… ‘Was that all a dream? ’She asked herself. ‘No …no that was as real as it gets’ she assured herself. She pulled away and looked into his eyes trying to find what had him so distracted… “I’m not that hungry Clark, It’s nothing to be….” Clarks sharp eyes delved deep into hers, choking off the rest of her sentence. “Lana I… I can’t go with you to the dance...” His eyes seemed to go introvert, ready for her angry strike to his foreboding news… “…Lorry Sanders, well…she asked me…”

Lana turned this new information around in her head for a moment… Trying to keep the shock out of her voice she asked, “When did that happen?” He glanced away, leaving her suddenly feeling cold and deserted. “When you were in the storeroom… I …I didn’t know you were going to ask me…I thought…” He reached up and rubbed his temples, ‘This can’t be happening’


Once again T.B.C.

Hurry up and PPMS!!!

Chapter 6 (part 5)



Lana reached up and took Clarks hand, “you said yes to Lorry?” He nodded still not able to meet her gaze. She paused for a moment of intense thought before responding, “You are the most amazing man on the face of the Planet Clark” He jerked his head up and was shocked to find her with a shaky smile. ‘Your not fooling me Lana, your trying to be brave, but I can tell there is something else going on in your mind.’ She interrupted his thoughts, “Even at a point where your own heart was feeling rejection from me, you were kind enough to consider her feelings.” She pulled his head down and planted on his forehead, what she hoped felt like a happy kiss, what she was feeling inside was another matter altogether. “Your not mad?” he asked. Lana examined the puzzled look spread across his features before reponding, “With you?… No… I wanted to be… but how can I? … I’ve waited so long… for this…” She squeezed his hand tenderly.

With that gesture, understanding spread through Clark’s puzzled mind… ‘Some things are more important to her than a dance… she wants a relationship… with me.' Warmness spread through his veins as he grasped the reality that his dreams were coming true. Clark looked deep into her eyes, “So have I” he breathed softly. They stood for what felt like an eternity, communicating without words they’re affections. The only movement visible were the clouds of warm air billowing from they’re lungs every few seconds. Finally Clark broke the silent commune. He reached his free arm around her shoulders, tucking they’re clasped hands between they’re chests bringing her in for a warm hug. She brought her head up and rested it between his neck and shoulder. With great care she placed his strong hand over her heart, “This is yours now…and to be honest… It has been for a long time, I’m gladly lost to you for eternity…” Tears began to slip from Clark’s eyes, and he moved her hand over to his chest, “I can’t offer you my heart… we both know you already have it.” Lana reached up and brushed his tears away with her thumbs, ‘I’ve never seen him cry before… he’s so adorable’

Clark wrapped his arms around her waist and held her affectionately. Resting her head back on his shoulder, freed from the Bliss that was his eyes, her thoughts trailed a bit to other pressing matters, ‘If that Lorry thinks for one minute that she is laying a hand on MY Man…’ her eyes narrowed as she began formulating a plan, ‘…She’s got another thing coming!’

“Brrumble…” Clark threw back his head and let out a hearty Laugh, “Can I by chance buy you dinner miss Lang?” Lana walked a few steps away then turned around, “Why Mr. Kent, are you asking me on a date!” Her eyes were gleaming playfully as she began walking backwards, “better check your wallet, cause if you hadn’t noticed I’m mighty hungry!” he grinned back, and began stalking forward, joining in her tease, “Well then we’d best be going before you decide to try and save some money by eating me!” With that they took off racing and giggling down Main Street.

(2 days later- Wednesday)

Lana snuck up behind Clark while he was shuffling through his locker, “How’s my favorite Farm boy this morning?” Clark spun around eagerly at the sound of her voice. “Considering we were up till 2am on the phone, I should be exhausted! But to tell you the truth I feel great.” Lana smiled and gave him a hug, “I don’t know how you do it, Cause I am in need of a nap.” Lana stifled a yawn and then changed the subject, “Oh, I have a date for the dance, so you don’t have to worry about me going alone” Clark froze, “What?” She just blinked up at him with a little smile. “Lana I’m not sure how I feel about seeing my girlfriend dancing with someone else!” She shrugged non-committaly, “So you want me to go alone and watch my Man with another girl all night?” ‘what a mess,’ Clark groaned to himself. “Besides I think you’ll like him, his motives are pure enough.” Clark’s eyebrows knit together and he grumbled, “Lana, with you, no guys motives are innocent.” She pretended not to hear, grabbing both his hands, and pulling him closer she elevated to her tippy toes. He blinked as her lips hovered in front of his. “Trust me.” Her sweet breath purged all thoughts and worries from his mind, “Uh-Huh,” He grunted in answer. She lingered a moment longer as a tease then swept off down the hall, knowingly taunting him and many other guys she passed with her exaggerated hip swagger. Clark tried to regain his composure as she sauntered of to her class, but lost it all over again when at the end of hallway, before disappearing around the corner, she looked over her shoulder and sent him a kiss and a wink. ‘Oh she is up to something!’ That thought floated in the back of his mind, but he didn’t really have enough blood in his head to fully concentrate on it.
