Clark finally left the loft after he spent a few hours alone with his thoughts. He walked into the kitchen where his parents were. Jonathan was at the kitchen table reading, meanwhile Martha was baking.
Martha noticed Clark walk in "Hi Clark, are you hungry?"
Clark takes a seat at the table "No, thanks Mom."
"Okay." Martha replied as she went back to her baking
Jonathan puts the newspaper down and takes a sip of his coffee "So son, how was the visit to Lana's?"
Martha "Did you see her son, Sean. He's so handsome and so will mannered, he reminds me of you at that age." she made silly smile
"No, Mom I didn't." Clark replied barely looking at his mother
"So how was it ?" Jonathan asked again
Getting up from the table "You know, I really don't want to talk about it."
"Why?" Martha asked confused
Clark laughed "Why?" Clark frowned "Lana hates me." He sits back down "She wants nothing to do with me."
Martha looks confused "Honey, what happened with you guys?" she moved towards the table "You two were so close, what exactly did you tell her before you left?"
Clark shook his head "I didn't tell her anything, I lied to her... I made her believe we were going to be together."
"Clark, why would you do that?" Jonathan asked surprised at his son
"What other reason, would I do such a thing?" Clark asked, as Martha and Jonathan looked at each other unsure "I didn't want to break her heart, I couldn't break her heart. There was no way to put why I leaving without telling her the truth about myself." Clark eyes started getting teary
"Clark, there had to be a way..." Jonathan said
"There wasn't! No one should know about my powers, isn't that right? Isn't that what you two been telling me since forever." Clark was now getting angry
"Son, I don't think..."
Cutting him off "I should have just told her! I should have forgot everything you two been telling me since day one!"
"Calm down son."
"No! You guys don't understand!"
Martha finally spoke "Make us understand."
Clark shook his head "I wish I was never superman."
"Clark, how can you say that? Everyone is so grateful for superman." Martha replied
"What about me, Mom, what about what I want? Superman ruined what I had with Lana, it stopped me from knowing about my son and from me being a father to him."
"What are you talking about Clark" Martha asked confused
Clark laughed a little "They're a reason why Sean reminds you of me."
Martha and Jonathan looked at each other shocked
"How -- did you and Lana..." Jonathan asked not sure of what he was asking
Clark nodded "Yes, we did. The night before I left." Clark replied as he sighs
"No wonder Lana was uncomfortable when she saw me." Martha replied as she sat down trying to take it all in
"Wow" is all Jonathan replied with
Martha shook her head "It's very understandable why Lana feels the way she does."
"Thanks Mom." Clark replied annoyed
"Is Sean...." trying to get the right words "Different?" Jonathan asked
Clark nods
"Does Lana know?"
"I'm sure dad." Clark replied rolling his eyes
"That means she knows about you being superman?" Martha asked
Clark nods
"And she kept it to herself all these years?"
"She was also protecting, Sean. He didn't know, till he met up with me at the planet"
Martha nodded "This is too much."
Clark gets up "I know, I going out and try to clear my head again. Don't wait up for me." with that Clark leaves the house
It was the later that night, Clark sat at one of the tables at the talon as he drunk himself a cup of coffee and eat a piece of his mothers apple pie. The place was almost cleared out, him and two other people where the only ones still there. He was so into his thoughts about early that day that he didn't notice Lana walk in, nor did Lana notice Clark sitting at one of the tables. The two last people finally left and Lana disappeared to the back, but then came back and noticed someone still sitting at one of the tables.
Lana was tired, she just wanted to closes up, go home, take a warm bath and go to sleep and forget this day ever happened. As she walked towards the table she realized who it was.
"Will this day ever end?" Lana said to herself as she walked up to Clark "I'm about to close up."
Clark looked up at her surprised, he blinked his eyes a few times not sure if he was seeing things. God she's so beautiful, he thought after he finally realized he wasn't dreaming. "I'm sorry, I lost track of the time." Clark replied looking at his watch, which read 9:03. He went into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet to pay.
Lana noticed and got annoyed, she just wanted him to leave "Don't." She said as she touched his hand trying to stop him, causing a ball of emotions flash through her, which caused her quickly to pull her hand away him his. "I'm sorry." She replied not sure what happened.
"For what?" Clark asked staring right at her with those gorgeous green eyes
"Uh." Lana was in awe, she didn't know what was wrong with her. One touch by Clark and she was in a daze.
Clark got up from the table and put the money down on it. He knew what that touch did to Lana, cause it did the same to him. It's been a long time since they've touch each other and he was longing for it, he knew if he didn't leave soon, he would pull her into his arms and kiss her. After so many years of being apart, he still felt the same way and now he knew she did also. It was like when she was with Whitney and whenever they would blush against each other they would have that wave of pleasure go through them. She never admitted to them and he knew for sure she wouldn't admit to feeling it now. But he wanted to have fun with this. "You liked it?" Clark asked with a smile
"Liked what?" Lana asked grabbing the money off the table
"The touch." he said whispering it into her ear, causing the shock waves to go through her again
"I don't know what you're talking about." Lana replied as she walked away
Clark nodded "You know I haven't been with anyone else since you." Clark said as he put his wallet back into his pocket "I mean, I've dated a few times, but never slept with any of them."
Lana went behind the counter "Clark, why are you telling me this?"
"I'm sorry Lana." Clark said as he started walking towards the counter "I'm so, so sorry for lying to you. I thought it was for the best. I swear if I could go back to that night, I wouldn't have left."
"Will, it's too late, you screwed up."
Clark grew angry at Lana's comment "I know I messed up! I live with that for 15 years of my life. I barely ever came back here, scared to see you again, but with somebody else." Clark moved closer "Just the thought of seeing you move on with your life with something I kept living for, for God knows how long. Would have ruined me."
"Why did you leave me?" Lana asked looking down
Clark heard the hurt in her voice "Come on Lana, you know why." he walked even more closer
"How did he know?" Lana thought to herself "I have no idea, Clark." Lana said trying to play stupid
Clark laughed "You never been a good liar, Lana." he was now right in front of her
Lana was able to smell him, he smelled so good "Clark...I." she couldn't talk, he was too close to her, he was staring at her lips
"When's the last time you were with someone?" Clark asked blushing a thread of hair behind her ear
"Clark, I have to close up." She finally managed to get it out.
Clark looks at the doors "You have all night." He lean in and kissed her softly on the lips, Lana closed her eyes taking it all in as Clark pulled away.
"So how long?" Clark asked again
Opening her eyes "15 years." She replied as she threw her arms around his neck and pulled him into other kiss.
Martha noticed Clark walk in "Hi Clark, are you hungry?"
Clark takes a seat at the table "No, thanks Mom."
"Okay." Martha replied as she went back to her baking
Jonathan puts the newspaper down and takes a sip of his coffee "So son, how was the visit to Lana's?"
