Chapter 13: Proposal
It was four in the morning and I was awake. Clark was sleeping soundly next to me with his arms draped around my waist, pulling me close to him. Lying like this, it was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I was extremely tired, but I couldn't stop staring at him. Then I noticed how cold it was. I turned my head and saw that the window was open. Realizing that I couldn't take it, I wrapped the bed sheet around me, got up and closed the window. I turned to walk back to bed, but something was strange. Clark wasn't there. I pulled the sheet tighter around me and looked around the room.
"Clark?" I whispered as I climbed back under the covers. But I heard nothing but the wind howling.
"Clark?" I said a little louder. Still, nothing. I leaned my head up against the head board and closed my eyes.
"Come on Clark, not a good times to play games darling." I yawned out before falling asleep.
Half an hour later, I felt a light grip on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw Clark sitting in front of me.
"Where were you?" I mumbled sleepily.
"I had to thing, and not really about what I'm about to say, but more about how and when I wanted to say it and I didn't want to wake you but right now just seems right." He said.
"What is it?" I said intently as I sat up. Clark grabbed my hand and looked down before looking back at me.
"This better be good." I joked as I looked at the clock. He laughed nervously then continued staring at me. His face was turning red and he looked so nervous. Suddenly, the wheels in my head started turning.
"Jules, I love you so much and so I was wondering…" But I cut him off.
"Yes." I whispered. Clark smiled ear to ear.
"Really?" He said. I nodded and felt tears of joy welling in my eyes.
"Yes really!" I exclaimed. He continued smiling, and then pulled a box out of his pocket. He opened it and slipped the prettiest ring I have ever seen on my finger. I gasper and looked at him. We were both smiling like idiots. Then I couldn't contain it anymore. I squealed and jumped into his arms. He laughed and spun me around.
"I love you so much." I whispered grinning.
"Right back at you." He replied.

This time, after the, well shall I say aftermath of both our excitement, I did fall asleep. I slept better then I ever have in my life.
"Mmm," I groaned when I felt my forehead being kissed. I opened my eyes and saw Clark and smiled.
"I was hoping that was you." I joked.
"Of course it's me, or do you have some other super-powered fiancé that you haven't told me about?" He replied. I laughed a little, and then it hit me.
"Oh my God that sounds incredible." I said.
"What? Having two super powered fiancés?" He asked laughing.
"Just the one fiancé part, for some reason, I never thought that something this fantastic could happen to me. It almost feels like a dream." I said honestly. Clark grabbed my hand and kissed it softly, and then he gently tipped my chin up so that I was look at him square in the eye.
"Jules I love you more then I could ever say and I promise you that this is no dream, and even if it was, it would be one that I wouldn't ever want to wake up from." He said sincerely. I smiled, and he smiled back. Then he lifted me up and pulled me against him, embracing me. I rested my head on this chest and closed my eyes, knowing that there could never be a more perfect moment in my life.
