Clark opened the door to his house. As soon as he did he saw Lana, It was
raining hard
outside, freezing and there she was, no umbrella, no car no anything. She was soaked and shivering
like crazy.
"H-hi" She said to him, her teeth chattering. She took a deep breath.. It was him!
"Hi" He said back, looking at her confused
He had hardly talked to her sense she got out of the hospital when she had told him to
stay away from her. He never would have guessed she'd she up at his house like this.
"What's up?" He asked her, not knowing what to say
"W-we need to t-t-talk" She shivered again "C-c-can I c-come in? I th-think I'm
g-g-going t-to d-die" She said with humor
"Oh c'mon. Come in before you freeze to death" He said, lightening up the mood
Lana walked in "I'm s-sorry if I g-get your fl-floor wet"
"It's OK" He said to her "Are you OK?"
"I'm freezing" she said to him, smiling
"Oh right, let me get you something to change into"
She smiled at him. Still so gentlemanly, helping her out in ever way possible. He returned
with a button down shirt and a pair of black shorts.
"Is this OK?" He asked her
"Yes" Lana smiled "I'll be right back"
While she went to change he went to the stove and made her some coffee, she returned a
few minutes later.
"Can I ask you something, Lana?"
She nodded.
"Why did you walk 2 miles in the pouring rain to get here?"
"I didn't know it was going to rain" She smiled
"You know what I mean"
"I wanted to talk, OK? I've missed you"
He smiled at her "I've missed you too.. but you wanted to stay away from me..."
She sighed "I'm scared,ok? But can you blame me?"
He handed her a cup of coffee and she thanked him.
"I can't blame you.. You've been through so much"
They both sat down on the couch, Lana buried her face in her hands.
"Are you OK?" Clark asked
"I'm just a little confused.. and embarrassed.. and tired" She laughed
"What's wrong?"
Lana lifted her head, a single tear rolling down her cheek "I break just like a little girl..
Thats whats wrong.. I break just like a weak, pathetic little girl"
"Lana..."
"I want it again" She sighed "I want us again... And I don't care how much I get hurt"
He looked at her and she looked back up at him. She was saying everything he ever wanted to hear.
"It's you.." She continued "You're the one good constant thing in my life" repeating the
words she had said in the cave almost over a year ago "You are my reason for getting out
of bed"
It hit her like a ton of bricks what she had just said, she got up "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..
I'm pathetic. .I'm a pathetic little idiot"
"No Lana"
He took her by the hand, pulling her back to him, this time, she was sitting on his lap and
there was about an inch between their faces.
"You shouldn't know that" she whispered to him
"I should" He smiled "Because I feel the same way about you"
The next thing they did was the most natural thing in the world, they kissed. They had not
kissed so passionately or strongly sense the time under the tree before he left for
Metropolis. They never wanted to stop, but eventually, they pulled apart.
"I can't believe you walked two blocks in the pouring rain" He laughed
She rubbed her head "Yeah.. not the best idea" she laughed
"Feeling the effects?" he joked
"That's what I get for deciding not to drive" She smiled
"So, It's official now, right?" he asked
"What?" she asked
"Us!.. We're a couple now"
She smiled widely "It's official.... We're back together"
"Who should we tell first?" He asked
"Well from last time's experience I think the best thing to do would to tell Chloe right
away"
"Do you think she'll be OK with it?"
Lana remembered what Chloe had said to her earlier "Yeah, she'll be fine"
"So what do we do now?" He asked
"Want to go see a movie?" She asked
"Feeling up to it?"
"Yeah, I'm fine" She smiled
"What should we see?" He asked
"How about 'Stuck on you' have you seen that yet?"
"The one about the Siamese twins" Clark asked
"Yeah, It looks funny" Lana replied
"Wow..." He remarked "Doesn't it seem like we have been going out forever?"
"Yeah" She laughed "And we haven't even been together for two minutes!"
"So, tomorrow, movie?" He smiled at her
"Tomorrow.. Well I should be leaving"
"Oh, let me drive you home.. I think it's still raining"
She smiled at him "Thank you"
"Do you think we should do it when we get to your place?"
"Do what?" She asked
"Tell Chloe"
Lana nodded "Yeah, better now than when it's too late"
"Okay" He put his arm around her waist "Let's go"
