So damn Lucky

Clark and Lana sat in the living room after they had something to eat, that Lana quickly threw together. They had just finished watching Spiderman 2 on DVD.

"Ha… That will be the day… People getting powers by spiders biting them… so if a radioactive mosquito had bitten him, what would his powers be? Bugging the hell out of people?" said Clark sarcastically.

Lana chuckled. "I have to admit though, that the movie gave me a strong sense of deja-vu in many parts… if you know what I mean… " said Lana looking at Clark mischievously.

Clark looked at her sheepishly. "Yeah… the secret thing… In my defence though, I told you willingly… he revealed himself to MJ without realizing it…"

Lana smiled satisfied and kissed Clark on the cheek. "Yes… you did… that really meant a lot to me…"

"But you see… I wasn't totally paranoid by being afraid to tell you my secret… Peter also thought like that…"

"Yes but she still was in trouble without knowing his secret… so…"

Clark looked downwards and said a bit sadly. "…maybe it would have been better to not have met him at all…"

Lana looked at him as though he was crazy. "What? That's what you got from this movie? Argh… Clark sometimes I think that your mind is completely alien to me … no pun intended." Said Lana as she turned her back to him in mock anger.

Clark quickly tried to correct the situation. He hugged her from behind and lightly kissed her neck. "Sorry… it's just that some habits die hard…"

"I just can't believe that you still consider that maybe I would have been better off not having met you… sometimes I think that maybe you say that for yourself." Said Lana half annoyed, half teasing.

Clark turned her around decisively so that she looked him in the eyes. "Don't ever think that again. The luckiest moments in my life, are my parents finding me, and meeting you. I thank God every day for that." He said intensely as he looked at her.

Lana smiled lightly at him. "I never think that Clark…"

"Then why would you say that?"

Lana leaned in really closely and lightly brushed her lips with his as she whispered to him. "Because I love what you tell me and I love how intense you get when you're trying to convince me of something."

Clark smiled. "Oh… well in that case." He stopped the dance that Lana's lips were making –which was driving him crazy with lust- by a passionate kiss of his own. Soon as the kiss grew in heat and intensity, they came closer and closer in a tight embrace, and their bodies were like one. Clark let his passion get the best of him and started to unbutton the shirt that Lana was wearing. Lana didn't react as she herself wanted this very much, but Clark was the one to break it off.

He stopped and closed his eyes, trying to calm his breath. "Sorry Lana… I just…"

Lana turned his face to look at her, and without saying anything she started finishing unbuttoning her shirt. She didn't take off the shirt though. She just left it hanging loosely over her partly covered bra. Then she went in and kissed Clark with ferocity. Clark got up and picked her up in his arms, all the while not breaking the kiss.

With sure steps he took her upstairs to her bedroom, making sure they were quiet though, closed the door and gently laid her on her bed. As he leaned in on top of her, he felt a buzzing in his pocket and then a ringing tone was heard. He sighed in frustration and got off of Lana.

"Hello.."

Lex was on the other line.

"Hello Clark, sorry for the inappropriate of the hour, but I just wanted to ask you again… Have you thought of my offer?"

"Lex this really isn't a good time to talk about this."

Lana hearing Lex's name stiffened a bit. She knew that Lex and Clark/Superman didn't mix all that nicely.

"Too bad… I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip to China and I was hoping that you and perhaps Supes could join me there. You could bring Lana if you wanted to."

At the mention of Lana's name Clark became very irritated. "Mind your own business Lex. And no… I don't want to go to China… As for your offer… I'm still thinking about it… I'm hanging up now… bye."

"Goodbye Clark…"

Clark sat at the edge of the bed thoughtful. He really didn't like the timing of this situation. Now that he finally had another chance with the woman he loved, this situation with the Luthors came up. He didn't want to bring trouble to her or Laura. Now is not the time to be thinking like that. I was lucky enough that I finally got another chance to set things right, I'm not going to let anything ruin that. Most of all myself…

Clark felt Lana's hands wrapping around his waist from behind him and her kissing his neck. "What's wrong?" she asked softly.

"I… a mix up with Lex and Lionel… it's…" Clark found himself struggling with whether he should tell her or not.

"Look Clark… you don't have to say anything… just know that if you want to talk to someone about it… I'm here for you…" said Lana lovingly.

Clark turned around and looked at her with infinite love painted all over his face. He kissed her gently. "Thank you for being the wonderful person that you are."

Then Clark thought he heard something coming from somewhere in the house. Lana hadn't heard anything and as he didn't want to upset her over nothing, he stood up and acted normal. "Can you give me two minutes?"

Lana looked at him quizzically. "Sure… Why?"

"I have something I want to give you." Said Clark with a cryptic smile, and sped off the room. In a matter of seconds Clark had checked on Laura, who was sleeping, checked every corner of the house, and after he was certain, there was nothing wrong in the house, he checked the neighborhood just to make sure. Then in a couple of minutes he flew to Holland and picked up some fresh tulips from the ground and brought them to Lana, who had already also checked on Laura.

When Lana saw him suddenly in front of her holding the bouquet of tulips, she gasped. "Are those really from where I think they are?"

Clark smiled proudly, raising his eyebrows in the process, in a sexy manner.

Lana took them and smelled them, smiling from Clark's reaction. "Show off!" she said teasingly.

Clark smiled brightly at her. "You ain't seen nothing yet." He said again with that cocky look.

He put her in a tight embrace and started kissing her. Soon they started to float slowly over the bed. As Clark was removing Lana's clothes and his own he gently lowered them both on the bed. Passion had taken over them.

It was as if they weren't apart for all those years. Their bodies remembered vividly one another and the sensations and smells. They both felt their hearts would explode from all the pent up emotions and passion that they had kept for one another over those long years apart.

And when they were finished, they lay together embraced, finally returning to where they belonged.

-------------------------------------

After they lay for quite a while in Lana's bed enjoying each other's presence, they decided that it would be best if Clark left, so as to not overwhelm Laura the next morning.

As Clark was walking home lost in his thoughts of Lana that had swarmed his mind, he was brought back to reality by his phone ringing. Clark was so annoyed that he momentarily considered throwing it away and putting into orbit, but then he calmed down and answered it.

Lionel's voice was heard on the other end.

"Clark it's time."
