Chapter 4: True Love
Clark wakes up to see the sun rising, the orange and red rays of light cascading over the loft through the large window. He looks down and sees Alicia; he kisses her on the cheek and sighs happily. He slowly gets out of bed trying not to wake Alicia. He lets out a large yawn and reaches for the ceiling, stretching out his body. Alicia rolls over and snuggles deeper into the pillow, he smiles and heads towards the house to make some breakfast.
He walks through the front door like nothing happened, and goes to the fridge. His parents come out of the living room and stare at him. He grabs some bacon, some eggs, and orange juice. He turns around to find his parents staring at him incredulously. "Oh, good morning." He turns around and grabs a pan and starts making breakfast, using his heat vision so it goes faster.
"Uh, Clark… are you feeling ok?" His mother asks while he's cooking. He looks over his shoulder at her and smiles before turning back.
"Yeah, never better, why?" Jonathan scoffs and walks outside, Clark creases his brow as his dad storms out. "What's his problem?" His mom says nothing, so he shrugs and grabs some bread and toasts it with his heat vision, then grabs two glasses and fills them with orange juice. He puts some eggs and bacon on two plates, then puts a piece of toast on each plate, and grabs the glasses and heads out the door towards the barn. All the while, his mom just stood there in disbelief.
He walks up to the loft to find Alicia, just starting to wake up. He smiles and walks over to her, placing the food on the table that he had moved the night before. He walks over to her and kisses her softly, "Good morning."
She kisses him back and smiles, "Morning." She yawns and tries to rub the sleep from her eyes. He smiles and walks back and grab his plate and starts eating. She sniffs the air and looks at him, "Did you make me any?"
"Nope." He smiles at her and keeps eating.
"Hey!" She grabs the pillow and throws it at him, hitting him in the side of the head. "That's not nice." She smiles innocently at him, making his heart melt.
"I'm kidding, yours is right there." He points indicating the table near the bed.
"Oh… sorry." She smiles sweetly and starts to eat her breakfast. He shakes his head and smiles. After finishing his breakfast he sets the plate down and walks to the bed, and sits on the side, and just watches her. The smile never fades from his face as he lays down, his head in her lap. She stops eating and puts her plate down and starts running her fingers through his hair. He smiles up at her and closes his eyes. She smiles and keeps running her fingers through his hair.
Martha is watching everything from the stairs, and she can't help but smile. Even though she might not like Alicia, she can't be too upset when her son is that happy.
