"I know with what all I did, you don't have a reason to stay. But you have to understand that I have had to pay for those mistakes I made for a long time. I'm not happy with what I did. But I really was not myself. I know that doesn't excuse what I did." Clark tells her.
"No, it doesn't." She says, turning around.
"I caused an explosion before I ran away. It caused my mother to lose her baby and I was responsible." He pauses. "My best friend had to move away because of me. I felt like everyone I cared about ended up getting hurt because of me and it really pushed me over the edge and I had to get out of there. I got to metropolis and it was like I wasn't in control of my life. I thought…" Clark explains.
"If you did enough damage to your life, it would erase your past. I guess I can't be too mad at you, I did the same thing." She says, giving a weak smile. "After my brother died, I tried to throw my life away. Almost succeeded too. I guess I'm sorry for making this a big deal. I should have seen how hard it was on you too." She apologizes, walking back up to Clark.
"Believe me Sophie. The last thing I want to be like is the guy that took your brother away from you." He tells her and hugs her. "I promise you that if I could, I would punish every guy that caused you pain. Including me."
"I don't want you to. All I want you is to promise me you'll love me no matter how bad our lives used to be." She tells him. Or more his shoulder, but Clark still understood.
"I promise. I love you, Sophie." He says to her. She responds by kissing him. The moment her lips touched his, instantly he forgets everything but her.
-------------------------------------
She pushes him back to the bed, never breaking this kiss. "So was this the surprise?" Clark asks.
"Just sit. You'll see." She tells him and backs away from the bed. She hooks her thumbs under the bottom of her shirt and pulls it up and over her head. Clark just smiles. If he really wanted to, he could just use his x-ray vision and see everything. But what's the fun in that? He watches this scene of Sophie stripping with her innocent yet seductive smile in front of him until she had nothing more to take off. She slowly walks toward him and pushes him back on to the bed, giving him a soft kiss. Then she proceeds to unbutton his shirt and take it off. She runs her hands down his chest and gives him another kiss.
"You are so beautiful." Clark tells her quietly.
"Glad you think so." She says and starts kissing him passionately. Soon they get under the covers and she snuggles up against him. "There." She says and sighs happily. They both close their eyes and soon fall asleep.
------------------------------
Clark wakes up with sunlight pouring through the windows and Sophie's naked body instantly reminds him where he is. "Good morning." Clark says and gives her a kiss.
"Morning." She replies and smiles.
"It's already 10:00, we should get moving." Clark says and they both get out of bed.
"I'm going to take a shower, would you care to join me?" She asks.
"As much as I would like to, I probably shouldn't." Clark tells her, laughing silently.
"Ok, you know... I won't mind." She smiles and heads toward the bathroom. Clark goes in to the kitchen and opens the refrigerator in search of food. He groans, as it's completely empty.
-----------------------------
By the time they walk out of the hotel, the limo is already waiting for them. "That's a relief. I was afraid we would have to walk to the airport." Clark says.
"If you think I would have walked, your crazy." Sophie tells him.
"Good morning, Mr. Kent and Ms. Krue." The driver greets them and opens the door. They smile at him and get in.
----------------------------
Clark and Sophie are driving home from the airport in Metropolis. "I'm really glad I was able to spend the weekend with you." Clark tells her.
"Me too. I don't even want to go home and back to our lives. I just wish we could run away together and not come back." She says.
"As good as it sounds to run away with you, I couldn't do that. I'd end up hurting too many people again." He says to her.
"I just hope we don't get in too much trouble for this." She tells Clark.
"Trouble?" He asks.
"Well for one, they didn't want me to go. Two, we said we wouldn't do anything and we practically slept together." She explains.
"Oh, yeah." He smiles. "They don't need to know."
"No, but chances are, your parents are going to know I went with you. Everyone else knows." She says.
"I never do anything like this, I'll get off easy." Clark assures her.
"It was worth spending a weekend alone with you." She tells him and kisses her cheek.
----------------------------
Clark pulls up to Sophie's house and stops. "Do you want me to walk in with you?" He offers.
"No, I'll manage. Thank you for everything." She says and gives him a long kiss.
"Thank you for coming with me. See you tomorrow." He says and she smiles. "Bye." Clark backs out of the driveway and drives towards the farm.
