Nothing Left-Part 20
Notes: This part starts as Clark is in the limo and approaching the Sullivan home to pick up Lana. Thanks for all the great reviews.
Clark's palms began to sweat as the Sullivan home was in his eyesight. He picked up the corsage and looked at it for a moment and they reached their destination. "Here we go,"Clark said as he opened the door and got out of the car. He walked up to the door and rang the bell. "Mr. Sullivan, good to see you,"Clark said. "Hello Clark. You look nice tonight. Come in,"Chloe's dad said opening the screen door. He walked in and he motioned for Clark to take a seat while he went upstairs and checked on the girls. Clark then watched Mr. Sullivan disappear up the stairs and then the major nerves set in. He realized the next minute would be the most stressful of the evening.
After five minutes of waiting on the couch he heard footsteps making the stairs creek. He stood up as Lana appeared in front of him. "Wow,"was the only phrase that escaped his lips. Lana was wearing a strapless black dress with a white solid stripe around the bottom of the dress. Her hair was pinned up with the ends of her hair curled. She had stunning black eyeshadow and a glossy lipliner that made her look glamorous. "You look handsome yourself,"Lana said with a smile ear to ear. "I don't even . . .you look beautiful,"Clark's said with his expression changing from shock to reality. "Should we go?"Lana asked. "Uh . .yea,"Clark said offering Lana his arm after she grabbed her wrap and her small black purse. Clark escorted her to the car and opened the door like a gentleman.
"Here this is for you,"Clark said taking the corsage out of the plastic box.
"Oh wow. Clark it's beautiful,"Lana said as Clark slid the corsage on her arm. "I have something for you,"Lana said pulling out a short white rose that pinned on his jacket. "Are you thirsty?"Clark asked. "Actually yes, I am,"Lana said. "Well Lex sent a bottle of french champagne with the limo. So my question to you Ms. Lang is, are you going to withstand peer pressure or are you going to give in and take a walk on the dark side of the force?"Clark asked. "Hey, I'm dark. I'm bad,"Lana said acting like she was offended. Clark laughed at her, "Yeah babe I know you are. I was just merely saying we can't let it go to waste." Lana picked up a champagne glass, "Pour it Anakin."Clark poured two glasses and then raised his in a really cheesy way to make a toast.
"To you and me . . .going to the prom . . . in a limo . . . and dancing like we were in the movie Footloose even though I don't think we could walk back then but . .,"Clark was saying but then Lana cut him off. "Come on,"she said laughing. "Okay, Okay. I'll be serious . . . To you and me, in love . . .and going to the prom in a limo,"Clark said clinking his glass against hers and drinking his champagne.
Their prom was being held in Granville in a large ballroom. The place was decorated with what Clark thought was a million red and gold balloons(Smallville High's colors). The room was light by candles, lanterns, and soft lights that gave it a sophisticated look. The tables were around the edge of the room and the dance floor was in the middle. Clark spotted Pete and Chloe at a table so he took Lana's hand and they joined them. "Hey guys,"Clark said shaking Pete's hand as they came around the table. "Lana you look great,"Pete said. "Chloe you look great too,"Clark said. Both girls smiled and said thank-you at almost the same time.
Clark and Lana sat and talked with Chloe and Pete for awhile but a slow song came on and Clark seized the opportunity to slow dance, which was the only type of dance he could do. "Lana, may I have this dance,"Clark said cutting into the conversation. "Of course,"Lana said taking his hand. Lana wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around back as they danced to Keane's 'We Might As Well Be Strangers'. "They did really good decorating this place,"Lana said. "Yea they did. I like this band,"Clark said. "I like this band too, but I love you,"Lana said with a smile. "I love you too,"Clark said as he leaned down to kiss her softly on the lips. As the song ended a guy walked up to a microphone in front of the room and tapped on it which interrupted their kiss. "Excuse Me. Welcome to Smallville High's prom. Now is the time to crown the king and queen of this year's prom. And the winner is . . .
