The next day Clark was feeling the whiskey he couldn't remember much but what he did he wished he didn't. After five weeks Clark was about ready to give up. She wasn't coming back. He sat up and had a massive head rush along with the headache. He grabbed the pants on the floor and the same shirt he wore the night before.

When he stumbled down the stairs Chloe was sitting at the island drinking a cup of coffee. She turned and saw him.

"Well good morning." She smiled.

"Not really." The light coming in the window was hurting his eyes.

"How much longer are you gonna do this Clark?"

"I have just one more thing to try."

Clark went down to the flower stand and cleaned him out completely of red roses. He went in the side door of Lois's dorm the lock on it was always broke. Entering the fourth floor Clark saw some people that he knew.

"Hi, Clark."

"Raleigh, right? Sorry I can't see over the flowers."

"Yeah, it's me. Do you want some help?"

"Yeah, you can tell me if Lois's is home."

"No she has class all day. I heard what happened, you trying to make up for it?

"This is my last shot, you still got that extra key?"

It was nine o'clock before Lois came home. When she entered there were candles everywhere illuminating the room. On the carpet was a trail of rose petals. Leading all the way to her bed where there was even more. She looked around the room and saw Clark standing in a corner.

"Clark, what are you doing here?" She had a small sound of anger in her voice, the other defeat.

"Lois, I have just one more thing to say to you, and if you say no then I will leave you alone and never bother you again. But I have to know something." He walked into the soft light and got down on both knees.

Lois looked at him confused.

"I've spent these last five weeks getting drunk passing out and crying, I stood outside the dorm and watched your window for hours. I never left without saying I love you, and I do. So I need to ask you…" He grabbed her hand and opened his free one. In it was a silver band with a diamond in it. "Will you marry me Lois Lane? I promise to love, respect, and die for you."

Lois was in shock. "Clark you can't just make everything better with a proposal. You cheated…with my cousin no less. How do I know you won't do it again?"

"My love will show you…if you're willing to watch."

"I can't forgive you for what you did."

Clark dropped his head.

"But, I still love you, and that means something. It means I can still be with you. You're the love off my life Clark, I want nothing else." She started crying and Clark's eyes threatened tears.

He stood up and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her forehead, anything just to be close to her again. He let her go and put the ring on her finger. "Come with me." He said pulling her hand.

They went out the door and into the hall.

"Excuse me, I have something important to say, I screwed up in the worse possible way. But, I've just asked this woman, Lois Lane, to marry me…and she said yes!"

Everyone in the hall started to clap and cheer for the newly rejoined couple. They didn't know what the future held for them…but they couldn't wait to find out.

THE END
