Thought's spies - 3

Lionel helped Martha to walk to the table and they sat together. Clark served the lunch and they all eat speaking about Clark's studies, Ryan's life and Lionel job… the only who rest in silence all the lunch was Martha… except for Ryan, who was able to listen her thinking (He stayed… and he's sitting next to me… his hand is as closed to me that I could touch it with a short move… but… Clark's here and I can't…)

"What about if we go to wash the dishes, Clark?" said Ryan standing up when they all finished.

"I will help you…" said Lionel.

"No… it's not necessary… really…" said quickly the boy "we don't want to leave Martha alone…"

The two boys disappeared behind the kitchen's door leaving the two lovers alone, and in their uncomfortable silence.

Lionel has his hand on her tight and his fingers were playing with his trousers material. Martha was watching at his game, it was funny to see the great Lionel Luthor as nervous because of her. She didn't think… she just let her hand rise and move on top of his. Their hands touching each other's… they had touch each other too many times… but that time seemed to be different… His hand was big and hot… hers was soft and cold… He looked at her while her hand stopped his fingers' game, and then he moved his hand a little to hold hers, and took it to his lips, and kiss it.

Without any words said, he pulled her by her arm closer to him, and stopped when he could feel her breath on his chin. Their looks were deep into each other's eyes. Her hand was on his chest, feeling his heart's beat… and it was fast… as fast as hers.

Suddenly she felt the air of his breath caressing her lips as he whispered "I love you"

She scared. He loved her. She already knew he felt something towards her… she already knew that feeling was stronger than friendship… but… he had said it… he said that he loved her… her heart couldn't beat faster… her hands couldn't shake more that they did… all her body was trembling… and also her voice…

"No" she said removing from him.

"Sure I do… I love you Martha" said him laughing of happiness because he had finally said it.

"But I…"

"I know that you maybe not feel the same towards me, but… I know that you also feel something…" said him not letting her to stand.

"No, no… Clark… he's…"

"Forget Clark, Martha… He's already a man… and I don't think he wouldn't be able to understand this. He wills… he's your son and he loves you…"

"No, no…"

"Martha, please… don't panic… why can't you accept your own feelings?"

"I…" she wasn't sure of what she wanted to say, but she finally could release from him and rise herself from the chair, and forgetting that her ankle was twinkled, she stepped back and stumbled falling to the floor.

"MARTHA!" exclaimed Lionel quickly kneeling down next to her and helping her to rise "Are you alright?"

She didn't know why, but she began to cry, like a little child when falls… She round Lionel's neck with her arms and hugged him hard as he hold her and walked her to the couch.

Clark and Ryan run out the kitchen, but when they saw the scene they stopped and just watch.

"Why are you as fool sometimes…? You needn't run out from me… you can just ask me to leave you…" said him.

"But I don't want you to leave me…" said stopping her cry and looking at him. Then he caressed her cheeks, drying her tears, and suddenly, she round his neck again and pushed his head closer to kiss his lips. It was a fast kiss, but he give it back with a longer one, more lovely.

Clark and Ryan looked at each other as if they had finally end a hard job.

"What are they thinking?" asked Clark from behind the door.

"You really don't want to know it…" said Ryan.

(Her lips tastes better than I ever imagined…) thought Lionel (I hope to know soon how's love her in the bed)

(Oh, Lionel, never leave me, please! Now that I have done this step I will not let you leave… love me, Lionel… Love me right now and here…)

Ryan blushed as they continue watching their kiss, which they finally break.

"I will never leaves you…" said Lionel.

"I would never let you leave…" said her hugging him strongly.

THE END.
