Rage

(it starts in THE conversation...)
L: ... I won't become for thanksgiving diner.
M: That's too bad, I was really looking for the seeing you.
L: After Lilian die (...) I decided to then I would stop celebrating thanksgiving dinner.
M: Why you not make an exception and celebrate it with us? We'll really love to have you.
L: I don't think Clark would agree. The holiday's going to be difficult without extra complications for him.
M: You aren't a complication, Lionel. You're a part life, now, and I'm very thankful for that...
L: D... do you you know what that mean to me? ... Do you know what you mean to me?
Then al of us know that they almost kiss in Martha's kitchen... And after having their lips so close... they moved away...
L: Martha I'm... (said Lionel while he went to the door to leave the house) I, I don't mean to... I'm sorry, I'm... (he was out, closing the door) I'm so sorry...
Then Martha closed the door and rest astonished for a while. "What had just happened?" she though, "Lionel Luthor almost kisses me... Lionel, my first love, my first enemy, my present best friend..." she didn't know if she would preferred to been kissed or not... and she was thinking about it all the day...

Some hours later, she went to meet Lionel in his office...
L: Martha! I'm glad to see you... I wanted to apologize about what had happened... I didn't...
M: You don't need to apologize... You didn't make any fault.
L: But I...
M: No, Lionel, not you... we.
L: We?
M: We aren't teenagers, Lionel... we already know what love is.
L: Love?!
M: Yes, Lionel... I'm in love with you... I don't know since when... I don't know if I ever stop loving you since our first date when we still going to university, but I do know I feel something very special for you... And I think that I will not be in a mistake if I say that you feel the same...
L: You aren't... I have always been in love with you... you already know that... and I decided to leave Metropolis and go to study to Europe the day I saw you smiling with Jonathan in a café... that day I understood that you loved another man, and I wanted to leave you be happy...
Martha watched to Lionel
L: It's true... perhaps you don't remember... but I know that you do, you stop loving me the night I get jealous from him... but I'm very happy to know that you have forgive me all the bad things I did to you and your family...
M: Oh... Lionel... (she smiled) I have always remembered that man who sat next to me in the library... and the Lionel who once hurt me wasn't him... you do, you are that man who once I felt in love with...
She put her hand on Lionel's cheek. He put his in her shoulder. They joined themselves. They hug. They were going to kiss... when Lionel's secretary went in the office...
The secretary: Excuse me, Mr. Luthor, but you're being late to the meeting with the bank's president...
L: O.K. Margarette, I'm just leaving...
The secretary: All right. (and she left)
M: Oh... I'm really sorry... I have hindered your work...
L: It doesn't matter... You're always wellcoming, Martha.
M: Anyway... it's better that I go home to finished the dinner...
She was leaving when...
L: So... see you this evening¿?
Martha smiled. She felt really happy to know that Lionel was coming to her thanksgiving dinner...
M: See you THEN...
And she disappeared behind the door.

. .

All the Kent's friends went to the farm to celebrate the dinner... all except Lana, Lex... and Jonathan...
Martha looked really precious, like always... When Lionel knock the door...
M: I'm opening, Clark!
C: Ok, Mum. (Clark had opened the door to all the guests)
M: Hi (she smiled like never, she was radiant)
L: Wow!
M: What?! Had I floor on my face? Don't you like the dress? (she wore a short red dress which show her large legs, and her beautiful back.
L: No, no... just... you look spectacular... really lovely...
Martha blushed herself, and smiled.
M: Come in...
L: I... I know it wasn't necessary but... I wanted to give thanks to you for all... for be.. just you... for stay near myself and forgive my past... (Martha didn't understand...) This is for you... (and he take out a little present, which Martha opened. It was a silver necklace with a diamond. Martha was without words...) I wanted it to be as beautiful and natural as you are... I hope you like it, don't you?
M: It's very nice... but, it's so...
L: it's so nothing... it's just a present... ok... don't worry for anything... it's yours... (--) please, let me put it to you...
And Lionel put the necklace to Martha when Clark was going downstairs, and that scene remembered him the same situation but... with his father. And he felt upset for a moment.
Martha would like to turn round and give Lionel the kiss he didn't give her that morning, but Clark was there and she didn't.

They where sat down on the table, when Clarks said his speech. Then they had dinner and talk, and gave thanks... and then it arrived the time to leave.
Lionel was the last. He helped Martha and Clark to clean up the table. When they finished Clark went to his bedroom and Lionel said it was time to go.
L: It was a great holiday, Martha, I have really enjoyed to come...
M: I enjoyed to see you with us...
Both where nervous. Both knew what they want to do... but both where a little scare.
L: Maybe we could have more dates like this more often...
M: Yeah... we could... but... just you... and me...
L: I would really like that...
M: Really?
They where as close as they where on the morning... They where speaking as lazy and slowly as they did on the morning... They where more in love than on the morning... THEY KISSED... and they kissed for a long while of time... It was lovely... It was perfect...
