CHAPTER 3

He looks her in the eyes as he realizes he let that slip. He knows she is thinking something that is totally wrong and he has to explain it to her. Maybe it would be easier to show her.

"Lana could you wait here for a minute? I need to do something and i want to continue this conversation." Clark asks her.

"Um sure Clark i have time." Lana says

Clark nods his head and slowly walks down the stairs. He makes his way to the outside of the barn and then to the back of it. 'Ok Clark let figure this one out.' He thinks to himself.

He stands there for several minutes as he is consentrating on something very difficult. Finally he slowly riases from the ground, it seems like he is floating in the air, which he is. He has a smile as wide as the Mississippi river. 'This has to do it, i know it will scare her at first but it is the best way i can think of to tell her.

Clark knows it is a big chance to do this, to let her know his secret, but she has the right to make up her own mind. 'I just hope she doesn't end up hating me because of her parents.' he thinks to himself. With that he sets back down on the ground and tries it like Kal'el did when he first returned to Smallville. It works, Clark zooms off it record time and flys his way to Metropolis to get her a cup of coffee from starbucks. He quickly flys back to Smallville cup in hand, landing in the field behind the bar he makes his way back to Lana.

"Hey" He says with the cup behind his back.

"Hey. that didn't take long." Lana smile a sad smile at him

"Yeah i know, could you come outside with me for a few minutes?" Clark asks her.

"Um-Well yeah. I guess, but weren't you going to tell me something?" Lana asks him.

"Yeah but i would perfer to do it outside, if that is ok with you."

"Sure Clark anywhere you want, as long as the secrets stop between us here and now." She tells him.

"That is my plan, i just hope it doesn't back fire on both of us." He tells her.

"It won't Clark trust me." She says.

"I really hope not Lana, truely i do." Clark says as he takes her hand, and starts out of the barn keeping the cup hidden for now.

Once they are outside Clark looks her in the eyes and slowly brings the cup out into view.

"Here i went and got this for you." Clark tells her.

"Yeah right Clark the closest Starbucks in in Metropolis." Lana laughs at him.

Well he knew it was a long shot, guess he will just have to show her. Hopeing for the best was never one of his stong suites. He knew she wanted to know his secrets and felt she had the right to know. Clark wasn't sure about that, but he was sure she deserved to know what he meant by him causing her perants death.

"Lana do you trust me?" Clark asks her slowly.

"Of course i do Clark, you know that. I have trusted you with my life before remember?" She tells him.

"Ok what i am about to ask you to do is going to sound weird but it will kinda make sence when all is revealed. ok?"

"Ok Clark, you are already talking weird i think i can handle the rest." Lana tells him.

"OK, i need you to step closer to me and put your arms around my neck. Oh yeah and close your eyes." He looks at her waiting for her to comply, Hoping what he is about to do works.

Lana is looking at him weird but remembers she said she trust him. She knows he won't try anything funny with her, besides even if he did kiss her would she stop him. 'I'm not sure i know the answer to that question myself.' she thinks to herself. She slowly steps into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. The sensation is so real she wonders how it ever slipped away from them. Her heart is beating like it is going to jump out of her cheast as she slowly closes her eyes. 'Oh let him kiss me, i have missed his kisses for so long.

Clark is standing there with her in his arms, hers around his neck. His heart is doing little flip flops inside his chest, oh why does this feel so right, yet so wrong. He has a hard time consetrating on what it is he wants to do, but finally gets it down as they slowly rise in the air. His face has taken on a very pensive look as he realizes there is no turning back from here. They are about twenty feet above the roof of the barn when she speaks to him, eyes still closed.

"Clark, what is this all about?" Lana asks, she still doesn't realize they aren't on the ground anymore.

"Lana, i am going to have you do something, but you have to stay calm ok." Clark says to her.

"Ok Clark i promise i will." Lana states

"Ok. Opem your eyes Lana." he says.

She slowly opens her eyes and looks him in the eyes. She slowly looks around and realizes just where they are. With a shriek, she lanchs herself even tighter around his neck.

"Clark how is this possible?" She asks wide eyed and scared.
