Chapter 9: Parents
"You what!" Jonathon Kent bellowed angrily at his son.
"Dad I had to, she saw me use my abilities. What was I supposed to do?" Clark asked. Both of his parents thought and remained silent.
"Clark we know you care about this girl. Bu we haven't even met her and she already knows your secret?" Martha asked confused.
"Plus she is a Luthor!" Jonathon stated. "It may not be her last name but it is in her bloodline."
"She wasn't even raised in the same country as Lionel and Lex!" Clark said, getting angry.
"That doesn't mean anything!" Jonathon said. "Listen—" There was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Martha said before walking to the front door.
"Listen Clark, I know how you must feel, but you have to think! How many times have the Luthor's tried to find out your secret? How many different approaches have they taken? For all we know Juliet could just be another part of Lex and Lionel's plan—" He was cut off.
"But I can assure you differently Mr. Kent."
"Jules, hey" Clark said a little uncomfortably as he walked towards me. "This may not be the best time…"
"Clark let me handle this." I told him. He silently agreed.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kent, ever since I came here I have been stereotyped and compared to the Luthors, to my cousin and my uncle… but I can assure you, I'm nothing like them. And I swear on my own life, I will never reveal Clarks secret, especially to them." I said, trying to sound strong and professional. "I care about them, don't get me wrong. They are my family after all. But I love your son, more then anything. So please, don't think I'm like them."
The Kent's stared at me, so did Clark. Their expressions were either impressed or amused. I couldn't tell. Either way, I felt a little strange in the uncomfortable silence.
"Well, that is all I have to say. Goodbye." Then I turned to leave and walked out of the door.
"Well.. That won me over." Martha said, still rather impressed. Clark looked happy at his mother's approval.
"It was an impressive speech, but I'm still not convinced that this is such a good idea." Jonathon said, feeling beaten.
"Just give her time dad, trust me." Clark said looking pleased. Hen he super-sped outside to see if Juliet was gone yet, she wasn't.

"So how did they take it?" I asked.
"Not bad, my mom likes you, my dad is still skeptical though, but he'll come around." Clark told me smiling.
"I can live with that." I replied. "I guess I'll go now, you know before my good luck runs out."
"No, don't. I want to show you something." Clark took my hand and led me to the loft in his barn.
"Wow, never imagined a barn to be so cozy." I said sitting down on the couch.
"Yea well, I just decided to make it my own." Clark replied as he sat down next to me.
"It's nice." I said smiling.
"You think so?" He asked, making the distance between us smaller.
"Yea." I replied, right before he gently pressed his lips to mine. We stayed like that for a while, both trying extremely hard not to go as far as we did a couple nights before. But this kiss definitely brought back those memories.
After a whole, when things started to get more intense, I pulled away.
"I have to go." I whispered. Clark understood so we said our goodbyes and I was off.
