Chapter 34- A Continued Kiss
"Guys, you should give her some space," Martha suggested.
Pete, Clark, and Lex reluctantly started to get up.
"No! I like that they're here," Chloe said happily.
Lana laughed and sat behind Pete. "Tell us if we smother you."
"You'll know when I kick you off," Chloe said, suddenly squeezing Pete and Clark's hands. "Ow!"
"It's almost to the worst part," Martha talked Chloe through it. "Okay, it's going down. Down. It's over."
Chloe took a deep breath. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Martha said with a smile.
Chloe looked at Clark. Her eyes searching his. Lana caught her gaze and made a quick decision.
"Pete, and Lex. Why don't you go with me to find some ice chips?" Lana asked.
Chloe looked at Lana. "That would be great."
Lana had to practically drag Pete and Lex off of the bed.
"I'll go with you three," Martha said, understanding what Lana was doing.
"I think Lana just cleared out the room for us," Clark said with a mischievous grin.
"I know she did," Chloe replied with a laugh.
"Why do you think that is?" Clark asked, blushing against his will.
"So I can do this," Chloe said, pulling Clark to her for a kiss.
Clark's eyes got wide before he settled into the kiss. "What was that for?"
"I was just finishing the kiss we almost had at the Spring Formal," Chloe explained, also blushing.
"I've wanted to finish that kiss for years," Clark admitted.
"I'm glad," Chloe said with a smile.
"I wasn't satisfied with that kiss," Clark said.
Chloe was confused, but caught on quickly. "Me either."
Clark leaned in for another kiss.
When Chloe finally leaned back she was breathless. "Here comes another one," Chloe said gripping Clark's hand.
Clark rubbed the back of Chloe's hand. "The worst part's over. Almost done. There."
Chloe took a deep breath. "Ouch."
"You okay?" Clark asked.
"Yeah," Chloe answered. "Can I do this? Without medication?"
"You can if you think you can," Clark replied. "You're strong enough if you want it."
"I do," Chloe told him.
"We'll all be here for you," Clark assured her.
"I know," Chloe said as everyone walked back in.
"My turn," Lex said walking up to Clark.
"Your turn?" Clark asked, confused.
Chloe laughed. "Clark, scoot over."
Clark scooted and Lex sat next to Chloe.
"My turn, too," Lana said, her eyes twinkling.
Pete grumbled and made room for Lana.
"Guys, you should give her some space," Martha suggested.
Pete, Clark, and Lex reluctantly started to get up.
"No! I like that they're here," Chloe said happily.
Lana laughed and sat behind Pete. "Tell us if we smother you."
