Double – 1

It had been a day like any other. A lot of costumers at morning, not too much at the afternoon; a Lionel visit at midday to talk about her meetings; and now, it was time to close the café. She was closing the Talon door when someone grabbed her from her back. She tried to shout, to get free, but she couldn't.

The next morning Martha went downstairs early wearing a really short skirt with tight boots, and a shirt that let see her black bra under it. She wore her hair falling on her back. She opened the fridge, and look for a bear, but there wasn't any.

"Crap, I'm really thirsty" said to herself as she took the keys of her car and drove out.

Not too minutes later, Martha come downstairs wearing jeans and an old blue jumper. Her hair was tied up and the first she did when she got into the kitchen was to put her apron on.

When Clark woke up found pancakes on the table, and also chocolate, honey, jam, cream, four different types of juice, milk, coffee, and two types of tea.

"Good morning, sweetheart!" exclaimed his mother with a big smile on her face as she kissed his cheek, smelling at muffins.

"Good morning, mum" said Clark astonished by the image "What's all these?!"

"The breakfast, dear. Don't you like it? Do you want anything else?" she asked with a guilty voice.

"Oh, no! It's… perfect, but… isn't this too much?"

"Of course, it's not! You need to take a lot of energy, sweetheart" said her mother as she put some pancakes on a dish, and cover them with honey. "Here you are, as you like them" she end, leaving the plate on Clark's sit.

"Don't you eat, mum?" asked Clark, eating his delicious breakfast, trying to ignore that his mother was a little weird that morning.

"In a while, dear… I'm doing muffins"

"Muffins?!" he exclaimed.

"Yeah…"

"It has been a long time since you did muffins the last one!"

"I know… It seems that I've been too busy to be on my housewife place… but that's going to change…" said, as she took the muffins out with a smile that she never took out of her face.

Meanwhile, in a bar of Metropolis, the Martha Kent who had left the house early with the car, was drinking her second bear of the morning.

"Hey ginger, do you want to have fun?" asked a man walking to her.

"My name's Martha" said her calmly.

"Oh, sorry ginger…" repeated the man again. And right then Martha grasped his arm and twisted it.

"I haven't listened to you…"

"Sorry… I'm sorry!" exclaimed the man shouting of pain.

"Fine…" she said standing up of her sit and drinking the rest of the bear from the bottle "He pays" said to the barman as she left the local.

Clark didn't understand why his mother's car wasn't at the farm, but it didn't seem to matter her too much, so he drove her to Metropolis, as she asked him. She was carrying a muffins' basket when she entered to the Luthor Corp's building.

"Good morning, I came to see Mr. Luthor" she said to the secretary.

"Wait a while, please…" said her taking the phone "He's in a meeting"

"Ok… I will wait…" she said without forget her smile.

But she didn't have to wait too much, because a few minutes later she already was going into his office.

"Hello Martha! What a surprise!" exclaimed him "It's lovely to see your smile at the beginning of the day…" he said kissing her cheek.

"Thanks, Lionel… it's lovely to see you too…" said her "I took you some muffins I did this morning, I hope you like them"

"Oh… thanks" he said taking the basket.

"Well… I should leave now… I have to cook the lunch…" and she walked to the door.

"Will you be at Talon today?"

"No. It's my free day… but you can come to lunch at home if you like…" she said.

"That would be nice"

And as well as she entered to the left elevator, the other Martha came out from right one, and walked, without say anything to the secretary, into the office.

"Hi dear!" she said as he turned round.

"Martha!" exclaimed him with opened eyes, trying to keep his look away from that transparent shirt "Wh-what…?" his voice shacked.

"I let you without words…" said her walking to him and caressing his lips to stop their trembling "I love putting you as nervous…" said her letting her arms on his shoulders, standing on her tiptoes, leaving her breath on his chin, and caressing, really softly, as if it was just a touch, his lips with hers.
