***RECAP - Then Clark walked towards Chloe, till he was inches away from her again. Ugh, if he keeps this up, I'm going to go insane.
"Chloe, I have something to show you, and a question to ask you . . . . "
**************************************************************************************************************************
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you
"What is it?" Chloe was shaking. This was going to be too much for her. This is the make-it or break-it point. She could not go through with being this close and having to let go again.
"I want you to read something for me."
"Uh, sure Clark."
Clark handed her the paper that he had hidden so quickly just minutes before.
Tell me you have trouble sleepingThat you toss and turn from side to side
That it's my face you've been seeing
In your dreams at night
Tell me that you wake up crying
And you're not exactly why
Tell me that something is missing
In your life
Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you've waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it's not just me
Hold me now and tell me that you do believe
In a soul mate
Tell me please
(Song sung by Rascal Flatts)
Chloe looked up from the paper with tears in her eyes. I can't believe it. He wants me!
"Well, what do you think Chloe?" Clark nervously shuffled his feet, waiting for Chloe's answer.
"Clark, it's . . . it's . . . beautiful." Chloe was breathless and her pulse was going a hundred miles a minute.
A look of relief swept over Clark's face.
"Great! You think Lana will like it as much as you did?"
Chloe's look faltered, and she tried to comprehend what Clark had just said.
"W-what?"
"I said, do you think Lana will like it as much as you did? I was thinking of giving it to her, but I wanted a real writer's opinion first."
And then, Chloe was seeing red.
"Clark! I don't believe you! How unfeeling can you be?! How oblivious?! How down-right jack-assed?!" By this time Chloe was sobbing and pacing around the barn loft, leaving an utterly confused Clark in the middle of her wrath. Oh, but she wasn't done yet.
"Chloe, what are you talking about?!"
"Clark, I have been the best friend I can be to you. Can you not see it in my eyes, in the way it so difficult for me to look straight at you for more than 10 seconds at a time?! It's because I can't look at you without getting chills down my spine. I can't talk to you anymore without getting nervous, and, and, shaky, and , and . ."
"Chloe . . . I don't understand . . . what is going on?!"
O my God he is so freaking thick-headed! Why does he do this to me?!"It's you Clark! I love you! I want you so bad I can't bare stand next to you without feeling . . . . something! I can't stand to be near you! My heart breaks in half when I think about you! You haunt my thoughts, you're in my dreams. I can't stop thinking about you! You kill me Clark!"
And then Chloe came falling back to reality, and remembered every word she had just spoken. Her green eyes grew wider and even greener, and she took a step back. Only, there was no step back. Chloe lost her footing and started falling. But she couldn't scream. It was far too late for that.
But in a second she was on the ground in Clark's arms; him holding her tight.
"Don't you ever do that to me again, Chloe Sullivan."
"Clark?! How did you . . how did I?! You were up . . . .I fell . . . I'm here . . with you . . . What I said . . . I . . ."
Chloe just couldn't focus anymore. It was too much.
Not so much however, that she didn't notice Clark kissing her. It was quite sudden really. And then Chloe's heart kicked in and she started kissing back with everything in her.
