The Picnic
"I'm going over to Lana's now, Mom!" Clark yelled as he was exiting his home.
Mrs. Kent shouted back from upstairs. "Okay! Did you take the basket I prepared for you?"
"Yeah!"
"Alright, have fun!" Mrs. Kent was proud of her son. She had raised such a fine young man.
Tears silently made their way down her face.
Clark's POV
As I made my way to the truck, my head was overflowing with thoughts about Lana. I remembered the day I saved her from the tornado. I remembered the time she and Whitney were together…
No. I can't think about that. Lana is all mine now.
She knows about my 'Little green alien' story. What else is there to hide? I finally have a chance to move from square one. Sure, we had made it to square two and maybe even square three! But no matter what it was: him escaping to Metropolis, Jor-el, or some person filled with angst, it always seemed to break us up even farther apart and end back up to square one.
Not this time.
A few minutes later, I arrived at Lana's house and saw Lana jump up eagerly on the steps. She was dressed in a white blouse and blue jeans.
I sensed love in the air.
"Hop in, beautiful." I felt spontaneous.
Lana's POV
As we strolled towards the Oak tree hand-in-hand, I wondered about Clark's secret. I guess I am okay about it, I mean, he's still the same person I knew…I don't know why he didn't tell me before…all those times, he could've told me. The past is the past; it's behind me now. All that's left to do is live happily ever after!
We reached the Oak tree that was to host our picnic and sat down. Neither of us moved or said anything.
Awkward silence, huh Clark? Okay fine, I'll just play along with your little game.
I kept my mouth shut and pretended to be playing with the grass. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Clark sneaking a peek at me. I broke the silence with a giggle and turned away.
"What so funny?" he asked.
"You." I answered playfully. I turned back around to face him.
He smiled and sighed.
"What's wrong?" I asked Clark.
"Oh nothing…just thinking about how this could've happened so much sooner."
"We have plenty of time…besides we needed time to get to know each other." I edged closer to him and took his hand. Clark rubbed my hand in his. Suddenly, I had an urge to do something.
I kissed him. It just came out of me. I couldn't stop it now because Clark's tongue was investigating the insides of my mouth.
Clark's POV
I don't know where that kiss came from, but the kiss was getting more passionate by the second. I put my arms around her waist and we fell over still involved in the liplock.
A few hours later…
It had grown dark and the stars were shining. Me and Lana were rested against the tree with Lana sitting on my lap. I cuddled Lana in my arms as we stared into the starry sky.
A shooting star had drifted into the sky.
"Oh look!" Lana pointed to the shooting star. "It's so pretty Clark... make a wish."
I smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"I don't need to, Lana. You already came true."
