Thanks for the reviews. Sorry for taking so long to update. Chapter 5 is now here!
Clark and Diana had been going out for almost 3 months now. They haven't really said the "I love you" yet, but their getting there. Although Clark should be on cloud nine now, for he is with a beautiful, smart, playfully seductive (he soon found that out), and spunky girl who excepts him and all of his secrets, he is not. Lois' plan is working for her because she is beginning to grow on Clark more and more. Although they still bicker and are sarcastic to each other, Lois is less harsh with him now. Sometimes he can't help but wish Diana and Lois were switched.
Lois, however, thinks that her plan is failing miserably because Clark is still going out with Diana and seems to be happy. But, she has never backed down from a challenge before (she tells herself) and she isn't about to start now. She and Diana are also becoming slightly territorial over Clark now, which leads to the occasional feuding between the two girls, living Clark in the middle a the peacemaker.
Chloe is sick of her life right now. Don't get her wrong, she still loves working at the Daily Planet and she is slowly making her way up, she is sick of the love triangle between Clark, Lois, and Diana. She wants Lois to win him over, she's her cousin, but she doesn't want Diana to get hurt either. Love is so complicated!
Kent Farm
"Hey son!" Jonathan greeted his son, who was fixing the fence out in the fields. "How's that fence coming?"
"It's coming fine dad, but I wish I could use my powers because I am getting impatient working at a human's pace." Clark joked.
"And to think you used to want to be a human when you were in high school, now you mock us." Jonathan quipped back and smiled.
Clark just smiled back which quickly turned into a small frown. "What's wrong son? Your mother and I have noticed you've seemed a little preoccupied lately." Jonathan asked.
"Dad, did you ever think that your with the wrong person, but you stay with her because things seem..."
"Like nothing is wrong, so why end it, despite the fact your heart's not in it?" Jonathan finished for him.
"Exactly." Clark said.
"Well son, you really have to ask yourself, do you want to accept things because their going well, or do you want to take the chance so they can be wonderful with someone else. I went through the same thing with thing with your mother and Nell Potter." (Lana's aunt)
"What did you do?" Clark asked interested.
"I took the chance at wonderful, and that's exactly what I got." Jonathan answered. Clark just smirked and looked down. "Don't worry son, I know you'll make the right choice." Jonathan then went back to the house, leaving Clark with his thoughts.
Metropolis University
Clark knocked on the door of Chloe and Diana's dorm, ready and waiting for he and Diana's three month anniversary together, with roses behind his back. The door opened to reveal Chloe with a huge smile plastered on her face. "Hey Clark." she greeted as she stepped aside to let him in. And the sight he saw made his mouth hit the floor and his eyes bulge out of his head. Diana was dressed in a long black, sparkling gown that flaunted her figure at every spot on her body perfectly.
"Well, how do I look?" she asked nervously.
"Amazing." Clark answered truthfully.
Diana beamed at him, "Thank you, and you clean up very nicely yourself." she answered.
Clark smiled as he stepped aside to lead her out the door. "Not too late children!" Chloe yelled to them before the door closed. Clark smiled at her and she smiled back. Then he walked out.
After sharing a beautiful dinner at Doolan's, where they shared their first date, they began a nice moonlit walk under the beautiful Metropolis nightlife, mimicking their first date, hoping a mugger didn't show up this time.
"Clark, thank you so much for tonight, it was amazing." Diana confessed.
"Yeah it was, especially with the fact that this time I didn't have to take a bullet for you, despite the fact that I gladly would." Clark responded.
"I know. That's what makes you so special, not even your alien heritage, just your selflessness and using your abilities to help other people. You like a superman." Diana smiled at him, pulling him in for a kiss.
"Don't sell yourself short wonder woman, it's not like you wouldn't do the same for me." Clark answered back with a smile.
Diana smiled at him. "Clark?"
"Mm?"
"I want to tell you something, something I've been keeping inside for a while now." Diana began.
"Sure Diana. You know you can tell me anything." Clark assured her in a soft voice that Diana loves.
She smiled at him, "Clark, I...I love you." she said nervously.
Clark stopped dead in his tracks. He was now in one of the biggest pickles in his life. Tell Diana now that he doesn't feel the same and take his chance with Lois, hoping she'll accept his secrets, or say it back to Diana because he's too afraid to confront Lois about his heritage. "Diana I...I love...I...I can't." he finally let out.
Diana looked at him confused. "Look Diana, you are a beautiful, smart, amazing girl that any guy would want. And there's nothing I would like more than to say those three words back to you. But I can't do that to you. But I don't feel the same."
Tears began to well up in her eyes because she knew, deep inside, this was coming. "It's Lois isn't it? Your heart belongs to Lois doesn't it?" It wasn't really a question and all Clark could do was nod his head. Diana smiled a sad smile at him. "It's ok Clark, I knew that your heart belonged to her, I just didn't want to admit it to myself. I don't want to be in the way of your happiness, just know that I will always care for you Clark Kent. Always. Just promise me we'll stay friends." Diana said to him.
Clark beamed at her than hugged her. She hugged him back with just as much enthusiasm. Clark then stepped back and titled her head up to face him. She had tears in her eyes. He said to her, "Diana, I know for a fact that you and I will remain close friends, 'til the end of our days. I don't know how, but I just know it. Maybe we'll meet again in the superhero gig." he joked.
"If you go by the name superman, I have dibs on who invented the name." Diana joked back.
"Same to me if you go by wonder women." Clark confirmed.
"So what are you waiting for Clark?" Clark looked at her confused. "Why aren't you totally making out with Lois right now, expressing your feelings for her in some cheesy romantic way?" Diana asked.
Clark then grew nervous, "What if she doesn't feel the same?"
"Oh don't worry about that, she definitely has something for you. Call it women's intuition." Diana assured him
Clark smiled. "Are you sure, do you want me to walk you home?" Clark asked.
"I'm fine. Don't forget I also have superspeed and can get there in about 2 seconds." Diana remind him.
Clark just smiled, kissed her cheek, and took off for Smallville.
Diana let a tear slide down her cheek. "Don't worry Clark you'll always be superman to me." Diana told him, knowing his superhearing would hear it. Clark smiled and continued towards Smallville, he had some talking to do with Lois.
Ooooo, cliffhanger. Read an Review please. The next chapter will probably be the last one. I'll update ASAP.
