Lana sat on the couch in the loft. Waiting patiently for Clark to return.
She still felt freaked out after learning his secret. So, Clark Kent was
actually Kal-El from Krypton? Lana shivered. He had even shown her his
superspeed. She tapped her fingers waiting. Clark was talking to his father
now, apologizing. His mother had forgiven him for everything although she
had lost the baby; she was willing to forgive him. Clark walked up the
stairs.
"Hey" He said
"Hey, how did it go?"
Clark smiled "He's talking to me, that's a good sign. It's going to take a while to get on his good side"
"Atleast he is talking to you"
"Yeah"
Clark laid down on the couch, his head on Lana's lap, she massaged his head.
"That feels so good" he commented "I think you've found you're calling"
Lana laughed "I think I'll do something else with my life"
"You're good at this"
"I'm so glad you stayed" she whispered to him
"I'm so glad you destroyed the ring for me" He said smiling "Now do I have to talk to Chloe?"
She smiled "Yeah, don't worry. She's stubborn but deep down inside she is a really good person"
"Yeah, I know that"
"I'll talk to her before you, don't worry"
Like she was a stuffed animal, he lifted her up and sat her down on top of him.
"I don't even need superstregth to do that, you are so light"
She giggled and kissed him "Every girl loves to hear that"
He kissed her back; soon they were making out on the couch.
"Oh, should I come back?"
They broke apart to see Chloe standing on the stairs.
"You guys are obviously busy," she said sarcastically
"No, Chloe, stay" Lana said, getting off of Clark and sitting down next to him
"Chloe, I want to talk to you"
"Oh?" Chloe raised her eyebrow "What is there to talk about?"
"C'Mon Chloe, don't be like that" Lana said
"I was looking for you, Lana, I don't even know why I came here. Pete told me you were going out of town"
"I was..." Clark trailed off "But I decided I didn't want to leave Smallville"
"Well, that's good.. I guess"
"C'mon, let's talk" he gave her puppy-dog eyes "Please?"
Chloe sighed "OK"
Chloe sat down on the couch next to Lana.
"You got two minutes, Kent."
Clark sighed "I know how I wasn't completely honest with you and I'm so sorry for that.. But we have been friends sense the eighth grade Chloe, that's 4 years. Four long years. We have been through hard times and fights, I know that. But we've also, you know, had fun together"
Chloe smiled "We did have our good times"
Clark smiled too "Yeah, look I have missed you and I am sorry that I haven't been honest with you"
Chloe sighed "I haven't been honest with you either"
"Oh?"
"Lionel Luthor approached me to do an article" Chloe spilled the secret "An article about you.."
"About me? Why?" Clark asked even though he had a pretty good idea why
Chloe shrugged "I declined but after the fight I decided to go along with it.. I have been feeling guilty all day about it. I'm turning him down, I've never had guilt this horrible in my whole life" she looked him dead in the eyes "I'm so sorry"
Clark smiled "I don't blame you for trying to do the article" he hid his anger for Lionel Luthor "You know what? Let's just forget everything that happened"
Chloe smiled at Clark "I'd like that"
"Great. I know it's going to take me a while to get on your good side"
Chloe nodded "Yeah, I know. But.. maybe it won't take you that long"
Chloe got up and took a look at Clark and Lana. She sighed.
"Damn. You two look amazing together"
Clark and Lana smiled.
"Thanks" Lana said
"Don't mention it. Well, I'm glad everything between us is good. Now, if you excuse me, I have to call that old jerk and tell him to take that article offer and shove it"
The three laughed and Chloe left. Clark put his arm around Lana.
"We do look amazing together"
Lana giggled and rested her head on his shoulder "I told you it would get better"
He held her hand "Yeah. Lana Lang is always right"
She laughed and playfully hit him. He laughed and they both looked into each other's eyes. They had never been more in love with each other. At the same time, they both moved in for a kiss.
"Woah, I'll come back later"
Clark and Lana broke apart interrupted again, they looked over to see Martha.
"Hey mom" Clark said
"You got on his good side, that's great" she said smiling "He can't stay mad at you.. No one can"
Lana laughed "It's the farm boy charm"
Clark put his arm around her "It works doesn't it"
Martha looked on at the 'kids'. "You guys look so good together"
"Two times in one day" Lana said, joking with Clark "They may be right"
"Well I better go, I'll leave you two kids alone"
Martha had no doubts about leaving them alone because she knew how responsible they were and how Lana vowed to stay a virgin until she graduated high school. She turned to leave. Clark stopped her.
"Mom? Are you going to be OK?"
Martha stopped and smiled hopefully at Clark "Soon, I'll be okay soon. But I'm getting close to being okay"
"If there is anything we can do for you let us know" Lana offered
Martha smiled "No, I just need to do this on my own. I'll be fine. Just keep being yourselves. Don't change, OK?"
"OK" Clark and Lana said, uncertain by what she meant by that
"Goodnight, kids, I love you both"
"Goodnight mom"
"Goodnight Mrs. Kent"
Martha left. Clark and Lana were left there.
"She's going to be okay" Clark said to Lana
Lana nodded "Think of how much of a mess she would have been if you left"
Clark smiled "Thank you for stopping me"
"Hey" Lana said, "Maybe she's going to try and get pregnant again"
Clark shuddered "Gross, I don't even want to think about something like that"
They both laughed and smiled at each other.
"You think that if we kiss again we'll get interrupted again?"
Clark laughed "It's getting late, Mr. Sullivan is probably worried about you"
Lana looked at her watch, it was 8:45 "I still have 15 minutes. What do you want to do?"
Clark smiled "You want to massage my head again?"
Lana laughed "Sure"
He laughed and laid his head down on her lap. She massaged his head some more.
"Weird how fast it took everything to get better" Lana joked "I know if have to say 'I told you so'"
Clark laughed "Now you know why I always ran out on important events and was at the scene of every crime"
Lana laughed "The weird thing is that I'm not that freaked out. I always knew that you were special... You were different from the rest"
He smiled "Yeah, I always wanted to tell you but I decided to wait for the right moment. Out in the driveway, when you stopped me from leaving.. I just knew this was the time.."
"What did your father mean by 'fulfill your destiny'?"
Clark shrugged "I don't know... I'm just going to stay in Smallville for now, I've got everyone I love here"
Lana smiled and brushed some of his hair back "This is your home"
Clark got up and sat down next to Lana.
"So, out there today, um, did I tell you I loved you?"
"Yeah" Lana stalled "I said it first though. So you, um, take it back"
Clark shook his head "I just wish it could have been more romantic. The first time I tell my girlfriend I love her is when she is trying to stop me from running away"
Lana laughed "Let's do it now.. I love you, Clark Kent"
He smiled "I love you too Lana Lang"
They both laughed.
"Does it feel weird to say that?" Lana asked
Clark smiled "A little, but it feels great"
Lana kissed him and got up. "I should leave"
"Yeah.. Um, do you wanna go horseback riding tomorrow?"
Lana smiled "Of course... We'll stop by the trees again, I got the blanket"
She waved goodbye and walked off. Clark sat back in his seat. He smiled to himself. Just a few hours ago, he felt so depressed. He felt hated; everything was so messed up. Then she came along and made it all better. Clark shook his head, what made him crazy enough to steal the red krytonite class ring and drive off to God-knows-where. He and Chloe had start over; they had forgotton everything that they had done wrong to each other. His mother had forgiven him for everything. He was even close to getting on his father's good side! Clark smiled to himself, Thank God for Lana, he thought, If she hadn't come along.. If she hadn't comforted me when I lost it, He cringed at the embarrassment of crying in front of Lana, although she hadn't minded. If Lana didn't stop me, God knows where I'd be right now. He lied down on the couch, looking forward to spending tomorrow with the best girlfriend in the world.
"Hey" He said
"Hey, how did it go?"
Clark smiled "He's talking to me, that's a good sign. It's going to take a while to get on his good side"
