A/N: Thanks to my faithful reviewers, Raiden and Azianchick. And thanks a
bunch to LL, a new addition to my reviewing family.
ON WITH THE STORY!
Lex looked shocked. "Lana, actually, I came over here to talk to you specifically."
Lana looked at Lex with a grim smile and then shrugged. "Lex, it'll have to wait. Chloe and I have to talk to Clark."
Clark was worried. Was it that note he had picked up off the kitchen table? Clark groaned inwardly.
Chloe put on a bright smile and said, "Go ahead, Lana. I'll stay out here and keep Lex company."
Lana nodded, and said to Clark, "If you could come with me, please."
They walked into Lana's room and Lana decided to not beat around the bush. "Clark, I know you have the note. Did you read it yet?"
Clark swallowed the huge lump in his throat and said, "No, I didn't get a chance. Do you want me to read it now?"
At her nod, he pulled the crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket and read it. His eyes got wider and wider with each sentence. When he was done, he wordlessly handed it back to Lana.
She nodded with a certain amount of satisfaction. "Now you know how I felt. Except you've been keeping this from me for a very long time, haven't you, Clark?"
Clark shook his head up and down. He started to speak, but Lana cut him off.
Lana continued. "Now you also know why I wanted to talk to you alone, without Lex. Unless you would like me to call him in here for you."
Clark grabbed her arm before she could leave the room. "No, that's not necessary."
Lana resumed her standing position and crossed her arms. "Since I had to believe this note 100%, I also believe that you told us on your own. Therefore, I'm going to skip the being angry part, and launch right into being comfortable with you again."
Clark was shocked. Lana forgave him?
"Ok, that was my spill. Chloe will be in here in a sec. I'm sure she'd like to talk to you as well." With that, Lana walked towards the door. She turned to look at him over her shoulder, "Oh, and Clark? Don't leave. I'm not done with you yet, on any day."
She left the room. After about a minute, Chloe came in, her expression as grim as Lana's had been.
"Clark, Lana and I talked about this, and we want to forgive you. Obviously, you telling us your secret shows some amount of trust in us. We understand this, and are therefore forgiving you."
Clark replied, "I do trust you two. You guys are my best friends."
Chloe waved him off with her hand. "I know we are. But let's just drop it, for now. I'm sure you don't want us to get into a huge discussion with Lex here."
Clark said, "I'm still not sure if I'm going to tell him at all. He went crazy; he turned into the complete opposite of the Lex I had always known."
Chloe gave him one of her 100-watt smiles and patted his shoulder. "I know, Clark. Our talk will have to be another time, then. Very soon, though. We can't just let this go."
Chloe left the room, but not before saying, "Clark, you could tell us anything, and we would help you. Just believe in us."
Lana re-entered. "Clark, since the note said you love me, I believe it with all my heart."
Clark didn't know what to say. He was having a little déjà vu, Lana confessing her heart again. Only this time she wasn't under any kind of spell.
Lana's voice broke him out of his daydream when she said, "Clark, I'm giving you a chance right now to prove your feelings for me."
She closed her eyes, and a smile played upon her face. Clark reached a hand to touch her face, then threaded his fingers through her hair.
He finally did what he had wanted to do for the longest time; he kissed her. The best part is, it wasn't any kind of spell that she wouldn't remember, it was just Lana. And he had finally done what he wanted to do. He was kissing his dream girl, and it felt great.
