Chapter 8: 1 week of heaven pt. 2

"Are we there yet?" Lana asked as she walked slowly and carefully, fearing that she might bump into something and hurt herself. Clark walked closely behind her with his hands on her shoulders guiding her. "Almost. We would be there already if you didn't walk so slow." The horses might be dead by now Clark said sarcastically to himself.

"Sorry, Clark. You know that I can't see and I'm scared that I fall or run into something." She adjusted her blindfolds.

"I would not let that happen…don't you trust me?"

"I do but…" Before she could finishing her sentences she felt Clark swift her up into his arms. "Is this better?"

"Much better." She smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Hold on." He held her tightly cradling her in his arms and quickened his walking speed.

They finally got to the site and Clark rest her down. Paying close attention Lana heard a sound very familiar to horses, this made her very excited she loved horses! "Ready!" He got his hands ready to take of her blindfolds. "YES!" Lana shouted excitedly.

He smiled and removed it. Her eyes widen when she saw 2 white horses in front of her. "Oh my God Clark! Are we gonna ride them?" She ran over to them and began to pet it.

"Yep, you told me you loved horses. So I figured we could ride them." He smiled, very happy by her reaction.

"That sounds great…I'm a little rusty, I can't remember the last time I rode a horse." She gazed at the horses. So beautiful

Clark walked over to her and began to pet the same horse she was petting. "This is Lucky, he is my favorite." He walked over to the other equally beautiful horse. "This is Lana, your horse." He turned and waited for her reaction.

She smiled uncontrollably then she squealed. "CLARK! You named the horse Lana?"

"Yep, Her name was Betsy but I figured that Lana was a better name for a horse as beautiful as she…she is yours too, when ever you want to ride her you can."

Lana giggled and began to jump up and down. "CLARK, THIS IS GREAT." She ran over to the horse and immediately began to play and pet it. "It's so beautiful, a lot prettier that Lucky!" She teased.

"Hey watch it." Clark chuckled. "Come on, do you need help getting on?" He walked up behind her in case she needed a hand.

"No. I think I got it." Her eyes never left the horse. "I love it Clark."

"You are replacing me that quick." Clark pretended to be hurt, she quickly turned to face him.

"Nothing can replace you Clark, you are amazing." She kissed him softly. Lana the horse began to get noisy. "I guess she gets jealous easily." Clark said as he and Lana both stared at Lana.

Lana got her foot unto the stirrup and climbed on the horse with easy. Clark was very impressed. "You don't look too rusty." She shrugged and Clark got on his horse.

"Ready?" She nodded. "Follow me." Clark went ahead of her and she followed behind very slowing.

Clark looked back. "Come on."

"I'm trying. Let me just get the hang of it."

Minutes passed and Lana was finally able to catch up with Clark, who really wasn't going fast at all. "This is great Clark." They were now riding under a bridge of trees and flowers.

"I'm glad you like it, but I have one more surprise for you."

"Really? What?" She looked over to him and saw him smile.

"You will just have to wait and see." He rode ahead of her and Lana smiled and followed after him.

After minutes of riding Clark stopped and got off of his horse Lucky.

"Woah boy!" Lana the horse automatically stopped and Lana got off of her and joined Clark on the huge field. "So is this my surprise? A field of grass and weeds?" She said sarcastically.

"No." He took the blindfold from his back pocket and waved it around. "Blindfold time again." Clark gave a devilish grin. Lana reluctantly turned around and allowed Clark to blindfold her. "Do you want to walk or do you want me to carry you?"

"I want you to carry me like a baby."

"You are spoiled don't you know that?" He easily picked her up into his arms.

"With a sexy kind strong hunk like you, girls tend to get spoiled." She wrapped her arms around his neck.

Clark giggled. "I'm a hunk? I didn't know that."

"Well you are."

"Are you ready, I hope you like it." Lana nodded and he slowly untied the blindfolds.

"Clark this is great!" On the grass lied a huge checkered blanket and top was a picnic basket. The area was shaded because a huge oak tree covered them from the sun. Everything looked romantic. A picnic with Clark :Screams: How great is this Lana?

"Really! You like it!" He stood in front of her.

"Yeah I do…how did you…WHEN did you do this?"

"Oh, I baked some cookies last night when you were sleeping and I ordered the sandwiches from the deli store around the corner from the Talon."

"You baked cookies!" Lana giggled, she was very surprised and impressed.

"Not from scratch, the Pillsbury Dough Boy helped me out." He blushed a bit, putting something in the oven wasn't exactly cooking.

"Even if it wasn't from scratch it was still very sweet." She got on her tippy toes and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"Let's eat!" He took her hands and helped her down before sitting next to her on the picnic blanket. From the picnic basket he took out a 4 sub sandwiches, 2 turkey and 2 chicken. "So which one do you want?"

"Umm…I'll take the turkey." Clark handed it to her.

"Is that it? We have 3 more."

Lana shook her head. "1 is good enough for me, I'm not going to try and out do myself this time." She smiled and looked him in the eye. Her smile faded once she saw the intense look he was giving her. "What?"

He shook his head slowly but never removed his eyes contact. "Nothing, I'm just glad to be here with you. The last time I was here I was with her." Lana nodded knowing exactly whom he was talking about, he didn't want to spoil the mood by saying her name. It was Lana time.

He finally turned away and bit into his sandwich. "Mmm. It's pretty good." Lana followed unwrapped and bit into hers'. "It is good, which one do you got?"

"Chicken, I'll leave the other chicken for you. I'm sure you will be hungry later."

"Clark you think you could sleep with me to night?" She asked softly.

Clark almost choked on his sandwich. "WHAT, Lana I…"

She quickly cut him off. "I don't mean sleep with me, sleep with me. I mean sleep with me in the same bed, I miss feeling next to me."

"Oh." Clark sighed and smiled in relief. "Sure. But I'll have to sneak up when Mom is asleep."

"Great."

They continued to talk and eat until they were both finished, all was left was Lana's reserved chicken sub. Clark pushed the picnic basket aside and Lana between his legs with her back against his chest. "So how do you like Smallville?" He began to play with her fingers.

"It's nice…a bit quiet…peaceful." That pretty much described it for Lana.

"You don't like it, do you?"

"I do, it's nice. Smallville is a place you would go to if you need peace and quiet; if you need a break. But I prefer the city, the noise, the excitement, liveliness, and the people."

Clark nodded. "I see." He said sounding a bit hurt. She scooted around a bit until she could get a good view of his face. He kept his head down trying to avoid her eyes. "Clark, it's a great place. I just wouldn't like to live here. Sorry"

"It's ok, I'm glad that you are being honest…It's just that…I wished you liked it a bit more."

"Clark if you want me to like it, I'll like it just to make you happy. I want to make you happy." She kissed him softly on his lips and continued until he returned it passionately. He wrapped his hands around his hands around her pulling her closer to him. As he kissed her he felt her hands slowly creeping up the hem of his shirt, she moved to his earlobe and biting and licked at it causing him to giggle.

"Lana?"

"What?" She began to roll up his tee shirt in attempt to take it off, she hoped Clark would get the hint take it off for her. Instead she felt his fingers dancing against her sides and stomach causing her to laugh loudly. "Clark…ahee…that tickles….hehe." She squiggled, twisted and turned but failed to escape him. "Stop It CLARK! Please, babyyyyy."

"Ok, ok." He paused and allowed her to catch her breath.

"Whoo, Clark I just ate. Do you want me to throw up on you again?" Lana was now laying her back, Clark laid down beside her propping his head up on his elbow.

He cringed. "No way."

Lana smiled lightly and gazed at him. His hair was messy and his beautiful eyes were peering down at her.

"Come I have to show you something." He to his feet and helped her up.

"Where I we going?"

"We are already there." He pointed upwards. "Under the oak tree."

She nodded. "So what does that mean?" He smirked and quickly pulled out his pocketknife.

"We are going to crave your names into it." Clark pointed to an open space. "Clark and Lana for ever."

She smiled brightly and snatched the pocketknife from him. "Let's make it official." He smiled and watched as she craved it in. 'Clark + Lana 4 eva' "It looks great, let me draw a heart around it."

She took a step back and handed him the knife allowing him to draw the heart. "Now it's perfect." Clark turned around and smiled. "Now it's official…we last forever." Well he would like to think so, right now Clark didn't want to worry about secrets, it was fun to pretend.
