Awesome. :lol:

[happycamper]

It is funny how all four were always so nervous and clueless with each other. Maybe it is a very good idea for Lana to do the asking...or at least to arrange something...;)

SEAL IT WITH A KISS









||LATER THAT VERY NIGHT||




“You know Lana I think I can walk on my own.” Clark tries to pull away from Lana’s grasp.

“Who are you kidding Superman.” Lana rolls her eyes and tightens her grip around Clark’s waist.

Clark sighs and just gives in. “Is my mom even home?” I don’t think I can handle being in a house alone with Lana right now.

Lana removes one of her hands around his waist in order to open the front door. “She’s not home, but she said she will be home by morning with your father.”

Clark enters the house followed with Lana holding onto his arm to keep him balanced. “Really? Dad’s finally coming home.”

Lana nods. “Yep.” She directs him to the couch. “Now you need to rest.”

Clark allows Lana to help him lie down. “Lana…umm…Can we talk for a bit?”

“Sure.” Lana is too busy fluffing his pillow to pay attention to the tone of his voice.

“Well you see…” Clark tries to explain, but he sees Lana isn’t really paying attention. "Uhh Lana?”

“One minute Clark I’m going to get you some water.” She turns to leave, but is stopped by Clark, grabbing her hand.

“I’m fine.” He tugs her back over to him. “I need to talk to you.”

Lana kneels down next to Clark giving him her full attention. “Okay.” He sounds nervous.

Clark continues holding onto Lana’s hand. “Earlier when…when were at the Lake…”

Lana looks around the room, anywhere except at Clark. I knew this would be coming sooner or later.

“Earlier at the lake when I umm…” Jeez why is this so hard.

“Kissed me?” Lana holds onto his other hand.

Clark gulps. “Yeah when I…kissed you.” I’m being stupid about this. “Then I said I loved you and in the Talon you said you loved me back…”

Lana nods along with Clark. “Yeah…” Where is this going?

Clark sits up a little to rest his head on the armrest. “Well I was just thinking that…” He pauses and looks at the intertwined hands. I can do this. “I was thinking that it’s weird that we have kissed and confessed our love to each other…”

Lana slowly nods. “But…”

Clark looks into her eyes. “But we haven’t been on a date.” He kisses her hand. “Yet.”

Lana lets out the breath she has been holding.

Clark goes back to being nervous. “Uh…Th-that is if um…you would want to go out on a date.” Oh right. “With me.”

Lana laughs. “Of course.” She cups his face in her hands. “I would love to go out on a date…with you.” She leans in and kisses him.

Clark puts his hands on her hips. Wow…I can get use to this.

They both pull away breathless.

Lana flutters her eyes open. “That was nice.”

Clark opens his eyes, with a goofy grin on his face. “Oh yeah.” Well if she can do it…so can I.

He leans in and gives Lana another kiss, this time a little more passionate. Lana straights up a little more, deepening the kiss. Clark tries to sit up, but ends up wincing in pain.

Lana breaks the kiss and looks down at his scrunched up face. “Maybe we should save the kisses till you’re well again.”

“Pfft.” Clark succeeds in sitting up this time. “Your kisses are totally worth the pain.”

He leans in for another kiss, but is stopped by Lana’s hand. “Well I don’t want to kiss you to death.”

“Yeah, but what a way to go.” Clark sighs and kisses her cheek.

Lana stands up. “Now…” She starts to unbutton Clark’s shirt. “How about we check on your wound?” I hope I don’t gag.

Clark lies back down, after his shirt is removed. “Man Lana…Already taking off my shirt…I wonder what our first date will be like.”

Lana slaps Clark on his leg. “Stop that.” She couldn’t help, but laugh a little.

Clark smiles, and watches Lana remove his bandage. “So what’s the word Doc?”

Lana looks down in shock. “It’s…well it’s gone.” She looks up at him. “It’s all healed.”

Clark nods. “I assumed that would be happening soon.” Now when are the cuts on my face going to go away…

I knew he would heal fast, but not this fast. “Wow.” Lana touches his now un-harmed skin.

Clark shivers under her touch. “Yeah I can’t feel pain, but I can pretty much feel anything else.” Even the slightest touch from an angel.

Lana removes her hand. “This is incredible though.”

Clark laughs. “I guess it is…Never really thought about it.” I didn’t really want to…

Lana looks up at him confused. “You say it like being practically invincible is a bad thing.”

Clark sits up and pats the space next to him, indicating that Lana should sit next to him. “Well to tell you the truth…I never liked thinking about that stuff, because I never liked thinking that I was different.”

Lana looks down. “You must have felt so alone…”

Clark looks at Lana with a confused expression. “Huh…”

“All those years…Being different, and not having anyone to talk to…an outsider.” Lana starts to sniffle a little.

Clark lifts Lana’s chin up. “Lana you’re going to have to help me out here…”

Lana looks at Clark with determination. “Clark I am so glad you told me everything.”

Clark smiles. “Yeah so…”

Lana puts her hand up. “Let me finish.” I got to get this off my chest.

Clark simply nods.

Lana puts her hand down. “Clark you will never go through anything alone again. You have friends here that will be here with you every step of your alien life.”

Clark had to chuckle at that. She’s so cute when she means business.

“I don’t know what will happen down the road with us.” Lana takes a deep breath. “But just know that no matter what I will always be here for you, whenever you need me…morning, night, holidays, whenever!” Lana places her hand on his cheek. “Just promise me something.”

Clark melts under Lana’s touch. “Anything.”

“Promise me that you won’t go through anything alone…You’ll let people help you.” I can’t stand the idea of him going through anything alone.

Clark leans over and attaches his lips to hers. After a couple of seconds he leans back. “I promise…I even sealed it with a kiss.”

Lana smiles. “Want to seal it again?”

CH 42
DANGEROUS







Jonathon and Martha enter the Kent kitchen. “So you’re saying that Lex was possessed by a worm and that’s why he attacked me?”

Martha puts her purse down on the counter. “Yes Jonathon for the hundredth time…”

Jonathon rubs the back of his neck, where a bandage is at. He starts to mumble. “Could have fooled me…” I will never be a fan of the Luthors.

Martha swats him in the arm. “Jonathon!” That was kind of funny though.

“What?” He gives an innocent look.

Martha laughs, until something catches her eye. Aw! Where’s my camera?

“Martha?” Jonathon waves his hand in front of Martha’s face. “Hello…”

Martha puts a finger to her lips. “Look.” She point over to the couch, where Clark is sleeping with Lana snuggled on top of him.

Jonathon follows Martha’s finger. “As cute as that may be…Why is Lana here so early in the morning?”

Martha leads Jonathon towards the kitchen table. “Well you see…I left out just a bit of info from the story I told you.”

Jonathon just looks confused as Martha helps him sit down. “What exactly is going on?”

Martha lets out a sigh and starts to fill Jonathon in from when Clark gets shot to Lana and Chloe knowing his secret.

“WHAT!?” Jonathon springs up from his chair.

Clark wakes up startled by the yelling. “What’s going on? Who’s there?”

Lana starts to stir. “Clark?”

Clark looks down at Lana. “Hey.” She’s so pretty.

Lana looks up at him and smiles. “Hi.” He’s so handsome.

He leans down and gives her a kiss.

“Clark Jerome Kent!”

Clark breaks the kiss and looks at an angry/worried looking Jonathon Kent. “Dad?” Clark sits up bringing Lana with him. “I’m so glad you’re home.”

Jonathon walks over to Clark. “Son, are you okay?”

Clark stands up and lifts up his shirt. “Yep I’m good. See not even a scratch.”

Jonathon hugs his son. “I’m glad you’re okay.” I was a little worried.

Clark hugs him back. “Thanks dad.”

Jonathon pulls away. “Now…Can you tell me why you told Lana and Chloe?” I should have been here to stop him.

Clark looked over to Lana. “They needed to know.”

Jonathon sighs. “So what, do you plan on telling Lex next?”

Clark shakes his head. “No dad…Chloe and Lana deserved to know.”

Jonathon starts rubbing his temples. “Do you know how dangerous this will be for them?”

“Uhh…yes sir.” Clark looks down.

Lana takes this opportunity to step in. “Mr. Kent.” She walks next to Clark and holds his hand. “I don’t care how dangerous it will be to know his secret.” She looks at Clark lovingly. “I love Clark, and knowing who he really is makes me love him even more.”

Clark squeezes her hand and bends down to whisper in her ear. “I love you too.”

Lana smiles, but continues on with her speech. “I know you think me knowing is a mistake, but even Clark needs some help and that’s what I plan to do.” I can’t believe I’m standing up to Mr. Kent. “I will be here for Clark, as will Pete and Chloe. He won’t be alone any longer.”

After a minute of awkward silence Jonathon finally makes a move. “Well Lana…”

Both Clark and Lana squeeze each others hand and holds there breathe.

Jonathon walks over to Lana and wraps his arms around her. “Welcome to the family.”

Martha, Lana, and Clark all let out a sigh of relief.

Jonathon pulls away. “Next time you see Chloe tell her I want to have a talk with her too.”

Clark nods his head. “Will do dad.”

Martha finally speaks. "Well umm…I’m going to start breakfast.” She walks over to the fridge. “Clark, why don’t you and Lana hang out in the Loft until it’s done?”

Clark happily nods. “Alright mom.” He pulls Lana out of this house and towards the barn.





<just a mini update.....haha well.....try and have a happy monday people> ......secrets out:lol:

[Nemu]

that was nice

[SVsleuth]

Wow! Not one, not two, but THREE updates I found after missing only 1 day of reading! Clark and Lana are so cute together. My favorite part was when he was having such a hard time asking her out on a date. So like Clark.

It is quite refreshing to read innocently happy clana.

And I'm SO glad you've written Lana as warm and loving, and not like the Lana on the show these days.

PPMS! Thanks for the triple update. ;)

[<Nimrod>]

CH 43
Awww








“Come back here Clark Kent!” Lana runs after Clark, into the barn.

Clark continues running and laughing. “You’ll never catch me alive!”

Lana stays hot on his trail. “Don’t make me kiss you to death.” She sees him run to the stairs so she starts forming a plan.

Clark clutches his heart. “Oh no! Anything, but that!”

He makes a turn for the stairs, but stops when he feels something jump on his back. “Ah no…”

Lana giggles as Clark continues running up the stairs. “Stop right there mister.” She covers his eyes with her hands. “You might have trouble seeing your way now.”

Clark slows down to a walk. “Ah, but you forget that I have a little thing called X-Ray.”

Lana whispers in his ear. “But then that would be cheating.” She gives him a kiss on the ear then to the cheek.

Clark’s knees buckle, and he trips over the top step.

Lana laughs and starts to get off Clark, but he pulls her down with him. “You cheater.”

Lana acts innocence. “I am no cheater.”

Clark stands up and helps Lana to her feet. “You used one of my two weaknesses, and that makes you a cheater.”

Lana puts her arms around his neck. “And what weakness is that?”

Clark rests his hands on her hips. “Oh I think you know.”

Lana leans up. “Why don’t you show me?”

He smiles then leans down to give her a kiss. Lana stands on her tip toes to deepen the kiss.

Clark groans when she pulls away. “Hey…”

Lana plays with the curls on his neck. “Yes?”

Clark runs his thumb over her lips. “I was still using those.” They taste so good.

Lana laughs and gives him one more peck before pulling away. “Hey we have to save something for our first date.”

Clark smiles and goes over to sit on the couch. “I suppose.” I have to start planning for that again.

Lana walks over to him, and stands between his legs. “When do you think these pesky things will disappear?” She outlines a cut on his cheek with her finger.

Clark shrug’s and leans back into the couch. “I don’t know…Probably soon.”

Lana nods. I got an idea. She then surprises him by sitting on his lap.

Clark raises his eyebrows. “Can I help you?” This is nice.

Lana rests her head on his shoulder. “Nope. You’re doing fine right where you are.”

Clark smiles and raps his arms around her. “So I was thinking…”

Lana lifts her head up. “You, thinking?” I love teasing him.

“Thanks a lot.” He pokes her in her side and she jumps and giggles. “Oh look what I found.” He starts tickling her in her sides.

“Stop…Haha…Clark s-seriously!” Lana tries to squirm away from him.

Clark just laughs. “I don’t think so.” He continues his attack.

Hmm…That should work. Lana grabs his face and brings his lips to hers. Clark stops moving his hands around and grips her hips. That worked.

Clark lays Lana back and settles on top of her.

“Clark?”

Pete jogs up the stairs. “Clark your parents told me…” He looks over to the couch. “You…uh were up here.” Awkward.

Clark and Lana break the kiss and look over at Pete. Awkward.

Clark sits up and straightens his shirt out. “Uh hey Pete.” He helps Lana sit up. “W-what brings you over to my neck of the woods?”

Pete looks over at Lana then to Clark. “Huh what?” He shakes his head. “Oh right well I wanted to talk to you about something, but I can see you’re uh…” He laughs when he sees Clark has lipstick smeared on his lips, and his hair is more messy then usual. “I can see that you’re busy.”

Lana blushes. “Clark?”

Clark looks at Lana. “Yeah?”

Lana stands up. “I think I’ll go home and clean up.” She gives him a quick kiss on the lips. “I’ll be back in a little bit for breakfast.”

Clark nods and gives her another kiss on the lips. “Okay see you in a bit.”

Lana makes her way over to the stairs and starts descending them.

Pete watches Lana until she can not be seen anymore then moves his gaze over to Clark. “You two make a good couple.”

Clark blushes some more. “Uh thanks.” He clears his throat. “So uh what did you want to talk about?”




<yeah so I havent been sleeping well so I hope this is still good> :D

CH 44
SO COMPLICATED






Clark just continues standing there, waiting for Pete to say something. Just give him some time to collect his thoughts, I mean this must be big… Clark looks down at his watch. Just a little more time.

Okay I think I got it. Pete looks up at Clark and claps his hands together. “Okay so you know how I like Chloe?”

Clark slowly nods. “Yeah…I’m pretty sure a lot of people know about that.”

Pete glares.

“Sorry.” Clark puts his hands up in defense.

Pete sighs and paces over to the window. “Well see…This morning I went to see her at the Torch to see how she was doing…”

Clark walks back over to the couch and sits down. I can tell this is going to be a long one… “Right…”

Pete starts pacing back and forth in front of the window. “So she was there working on the article about the cave worms…”

Clark laughs. “Of course.”

Pete stops pacing and starts laughing too. “Only Chloe would do something like that.”

Clark nods while still laughing. “Sorry…Haha…Uh keep going.” He collects himself and calms the laughter down.

Pete stops laughing and starts pacing again. “So we like hung out for a bit, talking about nothing and everything at the same time.”

Clark rests his head on his hands.

Pete takes a gulp. “When I was just about to leave she does something that surprises me…”

Clark leans forward some more. “Keep going…”

Pete stops pacing and looks over at Clark. “She kissed me.”

Clark springs up from the couch. “On the lips?!”

Pete blushes and points his finger to his cheek. “No…On the cheek.”

Clark practically runs up to Pete. “That’s awesome I know how much you like her!”

Pete slaps his hand on his forehead. “Gosh Clark, I don’t think the people in Detroit heard you.”

Clark puts a hand over his mouth. “Sorry, but it’s just…”

“Big news?” Pete walks around Clark and to the couch.

Clark turns around to look at Pete. “Yeah.”

Pete sighs and plops down on the couch. “Problem is I don’t know what this means.” Looks like I might be clueless like Clark.

Clark laughs. “Man Pete you’re as clueless at me!”

I knew it! Pete buries his head in the pillows. “Help me out here man.”

Clark puts a hand up. “Hey, you’re asking the wrong guy here.”

Pete whines. “Clark what are you talking about.” He lifts his head up from the pillows. “You got Lana now.” Hard to believe. “What’s your trick?”

Clark holds up five fingers. “Pete I have liked Lana since I was five.” He now holds up nine fingers. “It took me nine years to even ask her out, so unless you want to wait till you’re twenty-five to go out on a date with Chloe I suggest you find some better help.”

Pete puts his head in his hands. “Then who am I going to get help from?” This is so frustrating.

Clark thinks for a minute. “Why not ask Lana?”





||SULLIVAN HOUSE||



Lana practically skips through the front door. Such a beautiful day!

Chloe is leaning against the counter, eating an apple when Lana skips into the kitchen. “Well you’re in a good mood.”

Lana takes out a water from the fridge. “The best.” She opens the bottle up. “Isn’t life great?” She takes a sip of the water.

Chloe laughs as she watches her friend skip into the next room, while humming a happy tune. I have never seen her this happy…ever!

Chloe decides to follow her in to the next room. “So I take it you’re mood has something to do with a certain Mr. Right.”

Lana happily falls on the couch. “It just feels so…perfect when I’m with him.” She hugs a pillow. “I always knew I liked Clark, but this is just like hard love I’m feeling.”

Chloe nods and sits in the chair next to the couch. “I always had a feeling you two would make a good couple.” She watches as Lana raises her eyebrows at her. “It’s true! Even when I liked Clark I always had this feeling you two would be right for each other.”

Lana sits up. “Thanks Chloe.”

Chloe takes another bite of her apple. “No problem.”

“So…how are things going with Pete?” Lana takes another sip of her water.

Chloe laughs nervously for a minute. “You won’t believe this…”

Oh I have to hear this. Chloe now has Lana’s full attention. “What happened?”

Chloe looks down at her apple. “I kissed him.”

Lana springs up from the couch. “On the lips?!”

Chloe jumps up along Lana. “Please yell it louder, I don’t think the people in Germany heard you.”

Lana puts her hand over her mouth for a second then asks again in a whisper. “You kissed him on the lips?”

Chloe shakes her head. “No on the cheek.”

Lana calms down now. “What happened?”

Chloe sits back down in her chair. “Pete came to the Torch today, to check on me.” It was sweet. “We ended up working on an article together, and when he was about to leave I thanked him and kissed him on the cheek.”

Lana nods. “Yeah…”

Chloe sighs. “We both just stood there awkwardly for a minute until he just said ‘bye’ and left.”

Lana laughs. “Boys…”

Chloe laughs along with her. “So complicated.”

Lana’s cell phone starts ringing. She looks down at the caller ID and sees that it’s Clark calling. “Oh I got to take this.”

Chloe nods and laughs. “I bet you do.”





<Have a nice day/night> :D

[Nemu]

lol of course she needs to take it... it goes of Chloe and Pete's future!!!

This is interesting...

PPMS!!!

[clana_never_give_up]

I wonder how Lana is going to get Pete to ask Chloe out?

This will be interesting

:D :D :D :D :D :D

[<Nimrod>]

Yeah the upcoming events will be kind of funny.....I mean after the other weird drama stuff that happened I thought some nice humor would be needed:D ....but then I think weird drama might come back again......but then some humor will come back....and I dont know what happens after that....



Yeah so Im tired....But eh.....ANYWAY hopefully Ill have another update up by tomorrow <Ive been pretty good lately, I dont want to ruin it>:p



Bist dann
Nimmy

[happycamper]

What a happy chapter for both couples. We know Clark is clueless, as always, but it is funny to see Pete that way, too. Either he has been all talk, or things are very different for him when the girl involved is someone he has always cared for like Chloe.


:D :D

[<Nimrod>]

CH 45
WORRY








Clark closes his cell phone. “Okay Pete. Lana will come over later and help you out.”

Pete sighs in relief. “Thanks Clark.”

Clark pats him on the shoulder. “Anytime buddy.”

“Shouldn’t you be worrying about something else though?” Pete picks up his jacket.

Clark puts the phone in his pocket. “Worry about what?” He knows too much.

Pete begins to put on his jacket. “Well…What about your date with Lana?”

Clark looks down. “Don’t get me wrong, I have been worrying about it. Trust me.”

Pete shoves his hands into his pocket. “Uh-oh.”

Clark looks up. “What?”

“I can sense that you’re hiding something.” Pete sits down.

“Well it’s just…” Clark scratches his head nervously. “It’s just that like I have had a perfect date planned for Lana for years.” Since I was like…seven to be exact.

Pete leans his head forward. “But…”

“But like now it seems…not so perfect.” Clark paces over to the window. “I know I shouldn’t really be complaining about this, but I’m just worried that I don’t deserve Lana.”

Pete lets out a sigh and stands up. “Clark…No one deserves love.” He lets out a laugh. “Love is always hard to put into words, but like I said no one deserves love they just find it. It’s random, but I can tell you right now that you and Lana are perfect for each other. You both love each other and that should be enough. Your love should be enough for Lana, Clark.”

Clark laughs. “I kind of get what you’re saying.”

“Good because I have no idea what just came out of my mouth.” Pete laughs along with Clark. “So what exactly did you have planned for your date?”

Clark walks past Pete and pulls something out from the back of the couch. “I was planning on taking her on a picnic.” He sets a picnic basket on the table in front of the couch. “Now it just seems too small.” It needs to be huge!

Pete shakes his head. “What’s wrong with this idea Clark? This seems good.”

Clark points his finger at Pete. “Exactly it’s just good not great or prima!”

“Ach ja.” Pete rolls his eyes.

Clark puts the basket back in its original place. “I mean this would have been a good first date kind of thing, you know where you just get use to the idea of being together.”

Pete nods. “Right.” He has a good point. Maybe I should take Chloe on a picnic.

“But with me and Lana, we already kissed and-and confessed our love to each other.” Clark starts to blush.

Pete laughs. “Sometimes you are the biggest weenie I know.”

Clark throws a pillow at Pete. “Whatever.” That was just plain mean. “So sense we are kind of past the get use to each other phase, I have to up the stakes.”

“Oh sounds super.” Pete sits down on Clark’s desk. “So any ideas Mr. Romantic?”

Clark nods yes and starts to walk towards the stairs. “Yes, but I’m not telling you.”

Pete looks shocked and jumps off the desk. “What? Why?”

Clark places a hand over his heart. “Because I’m to much of a weenie.”

Pete lets out a frustrated sigh. “Oh come on! You knew I was joking!”

“Nope sorry I didn’t.” Clark turns around to face Pete. “So I’ll see you back here around six?”

Pete nods. “Yeah, but where are you going?”

Clark turns back around. “See you later!” He waves and continues descending the stairs.





||HOSPITAL||



Clark closes the door behind him. Wow someone is loved. Clark looks around the room and sees balloons, flowers, chocolates, and even some wrapped boxes. “Hey Lex.”

Lex turns off the TV. “Did you have trouble getting past security?” He laughs.

Clark smiles and shakes his head. “Yeah well I didn’t have too much trouble.”

Lex picks up a chocolate box. “Even I think this is a little much.” He tosses it over to Clark.

It’s in French. “Yeah, well maybe a little.”

Lex laughs at his friend. “So what brings you by my…” He looks around the room. “…my wonderful layer?”

Clark pulls up a chair. “Just wanted to come visit my friend.”

Lex nods and sits up. “I heard Chloe was infected by that worm thing too.”

“Yeah and she’s okay.” Clark takes off his jacket. “She is just having a bit of memory problems, but nothing bad.”

Lex laughs. “That’s good to hear.” He reaches over and grabs his glass of water. “I was worried I might be going crazy!” Well maybe I am…but we’re not going to talk about that.

Clark raises his eyebrows.

Lex takes a sip of water. “Well I have been having the strangest dreams lately.”

Clark nervously swallows. “Really?” Oh ****.

Lex places the water back down. “Yeah like I almost forced myself on Lana and I think I shot you.” He laughs. “Crazy right.”

You are. Clark nods a little and tries to smile. “Yeah absolutely crazy.”





<yeah this was rushed....sorry if its bad...have a nice night> :D

[Nemu]

oh man... i guess this time around Clark will not tell the truth like he did Chloe ;)

Worry alright!

PPMS!!!

[happycamper]

Yeah, Clark is going to lie to Lex. But Lex does deserve it. But will he still be suspicious of Clark afterwards?

And who sent all the stuff to Lex, anyway? Dutiful employees? :lol:


:D :D

[SVsleuth]

Can't wait for the Clana date & to see how things go with Pete & Chloe. PPMS!

CH 46
EASY TO READ








Jonathon puts down his cup of coffee. “So Lex knows?”

Clark lifts his head up from his hands. “Not exactly.”

Martha starts rubbing Clark’s back.

Clark sighs. “He thinks that all of that was a dream…me being shot…forcing him self on Lana…everything.”

Jonathon gets up. “Well that’s a relief.”

Clark watches as his dad makes his way over the sink to rinse out his cup. “Well what if he finds out it all wasn’t a dream…” He looks around nervously.

Jonathon stops what he is doing and slowly turns around. “You’re not thinking about telling him, are you son?” I worry about that boy sometimes.

Clark looks down. “Well why not? Chloe and Lana took it fine…”

Jonathon sighs. “Yeah, but there last name is not Luthor.”

“You have to stop judging Lex by his name, dad!” Clark glares at his dad.

Jonathon stays firm. “I’ll stop judging him, when he stops causing problems for this family!” He walks towards the back door.

Clark sighs and stands up. “Dad…”

“This conversation is over with Clark.” Jonathon opens the door and walks outside.

Clark sits back down. “Why is dad so stubborn?” This is ridiculous.

Martha takes a seat next to her son. “You can’t seriously blame him.” She looks out the window and sees Jonathon hop onto the tractor. “I mean you’re thinking of telling the man who shot you.”

Clark snaps his head up. “Mom Lex wasn’t himself!”

Martha shakes her head. “Clark that cave worm didn’t change him completely; he was still Lex Luthor in some ways.” She places her hand over Clark’s. “Just like how you were still Clark Kent when you were on Red K.”

Clark sighs. “But Lex is my friend…” This is so difficult.

Martha nods her head. “I know, and that’s why you have to make this choice on your own.” She gets up and walks up the stairs.

Clark continues sitting there for a little bit longer. I got some serious thinking to do.

Just as Clark was about to speed to his room, there’s a knock on the back door. “Hold on.” He gets up and walks over to the door. “Lana?” He opens the door and backs away so she can enter. “What brings you here…” Clark looks down at his watch. “…an hour and a half earlier then expected?”

Lana nods. “Well I was never good with waiting.”

Clark laughs. “Here sit down; I’ll make you some coffee.”

Lana sits at the table. “So a little birdie told me you went to visit Lex earlier.”

Clark starts to poor some coffee into one of the cups. “Yeah I did.” He starts to poor some coffee in the other cup.

Lana sees that he’s not continuing. “So…How did it go?” He looks deep in thought.

Clark carries the cups over to the table, places one in front of Lana. “It went…” He sits down. “Actually I don’t really even know how it went.”

Lana raises her eyebrows. “That makes sense.” She laughs.

Clark blushes. “Sorry, it’s just he had the same problem that Chloe had.”

“Which was?” She takes a sip of her coffee.

Clark waits for Lana to put her cup back down. “He thinks that everything he remembers was a dream.”

She looks up in surprise. “So he does remember everything?” This will be awkward.

Clark nods. “Yeah, but again he just thinks it’s a dream.” Maybe Lana can help me with this.

Lana thinks for a minute. “Are you going to tell Lex?”

Clark looks down at his cup of coffee. “I don’t know.” He looks up at Lana. “I feel like I should, but at the same time I get this feeling I shouldn’t.”

Lana puts her hand on his. “Let me guess, you feel like you should tell him because he’s your friend.”

Clark slowly nods. “Yeah.”

“But at the same time you think you shouldn’t because you have no idea what he can or will do.” He is so easy to read.

Clark nods again. “Yeah.” He laughs. “You know me too well.”

Lana smiles and gives him a peck on the lips. “I know isn’t it great?”

Clark gives her a peck back. “Defiantly.”

Lana smiles and gives his hand a squeeze. “So what do you think you’ll do about Lex?”

Clark looks down at their hands. “I have a pretty good idea…”




<short but...ehh....so....yeah have a great saturday> :D

[SVsleuth]

I'm not so sure Clark should tell Lex. Mkaes ne nervous. Glad Lana is helping him decide.

PPMS!

[happycamper]

Yeah, I agree with SVsleuth. Telling Lex is not a good idea. The fact that Lana knows should be enough.


:D :D

CH 47 A
TRUST








*KNOCK KNOCK*

Lex looks towards the door. “Come in.”

Clark pokes his head though. “Hey.”

Lex sits up. “Hey Clark, what’s up?”

Clark closes the door behind him. “Oh nothing much.” He walks over and takes a seat next to him. “I just came by to see how you are doing.”

Lex smiles. “Well thanks.” He laughs. “So far all I had visiting were reporters, lawyers and doctors.”

Clark laughs too. “Well at least you had people visiting you.”

Lex and Clark are silent for a moment before they both start laughing. “I am really glad you came by, I needed a good laugh.”

Clark wipes his eye. “Well I am glad I can be of some service.”

Lex smiles. “You know those weird dreams I have been telling you about?”

Clark nervously nods. “Yeah…”

Lex stretches his arms. “Well the doctors say that they could actually be some memory of the past few days.”

“Really?” Clark laughs a little. ****. “Well I can tell you right now that you shooting me wasn’t real.”

Lex eyes him curiously. “Oh yeah and why is that?”

Clark lifts up his shirt. “No marks.”

Lex snaps his fingers. “Darn, one of my dreams was to always shoot you.”

Clark goes wide eyed.

Lex laughs at Clark’s expression. “I’m kidding Clark.” He laughs some more. “Lighten up dude.”

“Haha y-yeah.” Clark shifts his eyes.

Lex stops laughing after a minute. “I wonder what is real from what I remember.”

Everything. Clark takes a sigh. “Yeah…I….I don’t know.”

Lex looks at Clark. “You look kind of pale Clark, you feeling okay?”

Clark quickly nods. “Yeah I just had a rough night you know…Just tired.”

Lex hesitates before finally nodding. “Well why don’t you go home and get some rest.”

Clark nods and stands up. “You know what, I may just do that.” He moves towards the door. “I’ll stop by later.”

Lex waves. “Alright, goodbye Clark.”

Clark waves back. “Goodbye Lex.” He walks out the door and closes it behind him.




||OUTSIDE THE SULLIVAN HOME||


“Are you guys sure this will work?” Pete fiddles with the bouquet of flowers he is currently holding.

Clark pats him on the back. “Trust me…”

Pete worriedly looks at Clark.

Clark sighs. “Okay then trust Lana.”

Pete takes a deep breath. “Okay…I’m going in.”






<more to come later....so do not start the threats....oh and sorry if this is poor, I was kind of in a rush>

[Nemu]

CH 47 B
PURE EVIL








Pete straightens out his jacket. Okay Ross, come on you can do this. He reaches out and rings the door bell.

After waiting two seconds, Pete starts to freak out. Well she’s not home, I should go.

Just as he turns around to leave the door opens. “Pete?” Chloe opens the door wider. “What are you doing here?”

Pete looks at Chloe for a second before snapping out of it. “Oh here.” He hands her the flowers. “These are for you.”

Chloe’s eyes are wide as she takes the flowers from Pete. “Thanks Pete.” She takes a sniff of the flowers. “They’re beautiful!”

Pete shrugged his shoulders. “It’s no problem.” He looks behind and sees Clark standing behind a bush giving him thumbs up. I can so do this. Pete turns back towards Chloe. “Listen…Uh Chloe…I was wondering if you want to go to a movie with me.”

Chloe looks up in surprise. Did he just ask me… “Did you just ask me out?”

Pete looks around nervously. “Uh I did….”

Chloe stays silent for a moment, but then smiles. “Well in that case I would love to.”

Pete lets out the breath he was holding. “Sweet, well you ready to go?”

Chloe nods. “Yep, let’s go.” She grabs his hand and pulls him over to her car.




||CLARKS BUSH||



Clark stays low as he watches Chloe and Pete drive away. “Plan A is a success.”

“You’re telling me.”

Clark screams and falls on his butt. “Lana?”

Lana laughs at Clark’s reaction. “Nice landing Clark.”

Clark blushes. “You scared me.”

Lana nods. “Yeah I saw you from my bedroom window and I thought I should come out here and say hi.”

Clark stands up. “Well you could have given me a little warning…”

Lana laughs. “What would be the fun in that?”

Clark glares at her. “You’re going to get it!”

Lana shrieks as Clark lunges at her, tackling her to the ground. “Ah Clark get off!”

Clark laughs. “Nope. You must serve your punishment.”

Lana stops wiggling around and sighs. “And what is my punishment?”

Clark grins and raises his eyebrows. “Just a kiss.”

Lana smirks, and reaches up and kisses him on the cheek. “There.” She tries to wiggle out from under him again. “Now get off.”

Clark shakes his head. “I was talking about on the lips, Miss Lang.”

Lana stops wiggling. “Oh I see…” She reaches up with both hands and cups his face. “You mean like this…” She gives him a kiss.

Clark moans when he feels Lana sucking on his bottom lip. Wow….

Lana feels Clark’s grip loosen and takes that moment to escape out from under him.

Clark sighs when he feels her pulling away. “You’re evil.”

Lana smiles and helps him up. “Pure evil.”

CH 48
FRIDAY?








Pete skips up the stairs, humming a happy tune.

Clark looks up from his book and laughs at his friend currently skipping up the lofts stairs. “I take it the date went good?”

Pete takes a seat next to Clark. “You bet it did.”

Clark closes his book and places it on the table. “How good are we talking here?”

Pete smiles and leans back. “Good as in I have another date with her next Saturday.”

Clark smiles. “Alright man, I knew you could do it.”

Pete laughs. “I know I should have known.” He becomes serious when he remembers why he came by in the first place. “When are you going to take Lana on that date?”

Clark is a little shocked by Pete’s bluntness. “Uh…I don’t know…”

Pete slaps his hand on his face. “Clark, man, you are one stupid alien.”

Clark blushes. “Hey!”

Pete laughs. “You better do it soon.” He gets up and heads towards the stairs. “Don’t wait to long man.”

Clark watches in shock as Pete walks down the stairs. I’m not stupid…

Lana comes walking up the stairs after saying hi to Pete on the way up. There’s Clark… She gets to the last step. “Hey Clark.”

Clark looks up and sees Lana. Maybe Pete is right…[

Lana waves her hand in front of Clark’s face. “Clark?”

Clark blinks then springs up. “Lana!”

Lana takes a step back. “Yes…”

He grabs her shoulders. “What are you doing on…” Clark thinks for a second. “Friday?”

Lana looks at Clark’s hands on her shoulder then looks at his face. “Uh nothing.”

Clark gulps. “Will you go out with me on Friday?”

Lana smiles. “I was wondering when you were going to ask me.”

Clark sighs. “So that’s a yes?”

Lana laughs. “That’s a hell yes.”

He leans in to kiss her, but Lana backs away. “Save it for Friday…”

Clark drops his head in defeat. “Pure evil…”

Lana looks innocently at Clark. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Clark leans in and kisses her on the cheek. “Sure.”

Lana holds his hand and leads him to the couch. “So what are we going to be doing on Friday?”

Clark lies down on the couch and pulls Lana to lie on top of him. “It’s for me to know and to find out….on Friday.”

Lana looks up at Clark. “Now who’s the evil one?”

Clark laughs. “Hey I never said I was innocent.”

“Nice.” She slaps his chest. “Well I can’t wait for Friday.”

Clark wraps his arms around her and gives her a squeeze. “Same here.”

Pete smiles and begins to quietly walk down the stairs. Finally.
