Chapter 14: Soar
"Clark what's going on?" I asked laughing. He had rushed home from school, showered, got re-dressed, and then hurried me to get ready for something I didn't even know I was attending, blindfolded me, and now we had been driving for probably an hour. But I couldn't tell because I was blindfolded!
"Just wait and see." He said, laughing at me for being so irritated. Finally the car stopped. I fumbled around, trying to find the handle. When I found it, I tried to open it, apparently at the same time as Clark which caused me to fall out of the car. But Clark caught me in time.
"Not very graceful tonight huh?" Clark joked.
"Well when you can't see, it happened." I retorted. Clark laughed and grabbed my hand, and then led me inside somewhere. I sensed the lights flicker on, and then Clark removed my blindfold.
"Surprise!" it was all of my friends from school, plus Lana, Chloe and Lois, and the Kent's, in the Talon. There was also some band playing.
"Two surprise parties in one year? Do I feel special or what?" I said smiling widely. I looked up and saw a huge banner that said 'Congratulations Juliet! Break a leg!' My smiled grew even wider. I thanked and hugged everyone there, probably shedding a tear or two.
"Thanks Lana, this is so nice, and it means a lot." I told her.
"Well you mean a lot to all of us, we are going to miss you." Lana told me. "But I don't think that I'm the one you should be thanking."
"I'm going to miss all of you too." I said. "And if I shouldn't be thanking you, then who?" Then she looked and pointed at Clark, we both laughed. I walked over to him and put my hands around his neck just as the band began to play a slow song.
"Dance with me?" I whispered. He grabbed my hands and turned around to face me smiling.
"Sure." So then we joined a few other people around the small stage.
Clark wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.
"So, I hear you had something to do with this." I whispered to him.
"Maybe a little." Clark said smiling and staring into my eyes.
"You are incredible, thank you." I said.
"You're more than worth it Jules, I'm just going to miss you." He told me sincerely.
"Well I'm not sure if I am worthy of anything that you've given me over the past six months, but I'm still incredibly happy to have it." I said honestly. Clark smiled and leaned and kissed me softly.
"Trust me, you are." He whispered to me. We danced until the song was over, just happy ended.
"There's something I want to show you." Clark whispered into my ear as soon as the song ended.
"Okay…" I said. So we told everyone goodbye and got back in the car.
"Wait!" He said before he turned on the car. He then pulled out the blindfold, I cringed.
"Not again!" I whined.
"Trust me?" Clark said. I looked at him for a couple minutes, and ended up caving. I mean who could resist that face?
"Fine!" I said reluctantly. Clark smiled and covered my eyes with the blue piece of cloth. When we got to our next destination, I let him open the door all by himself this time.
"Okay right… here!" he said, leading me, well somewhere. Then he picked me up as if he were about to carry me. But instead we just stood there.
"What is going on?" I asked after awhile.
"Take off the blindfold." He told me laughing a little. I sighed and removed the cloth from around my head and looked at him.
"Okay, now what?" I asked, he laughed more.
"Look down." I raised my eyebrows but obeyed. I was completely in shock.
"Oh my God!" I said breathlessly. "Since when can you fly!" It was true, I was soaring up above Smallville. It was incredible!
"Since last week, but I wanted to surprise you." Clark told me with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Mission accomplished." I said smiling back at him. Then I kissed him, he returned the favor. As we were kissing, I could have sworn I felt him jolt up even higher. Then we flew through the window in the loft, still kissing.
We removed each others coats with our lips still attached. Then before I knew it, we were laying down on the couch, with Clark above me. I broke away for air.
"I love you." I said quietly as Clark softly kissed down my jaw line.
"I love you too." He said, pulling away to look into my eyes. I smiled, then he slowly closed the distance between us in another breath-taking kiss.
