Chapter Fifteen
It was about an hour and a half later. Everyone was finally finished eating. Clark noticed everyone except Lois (she had her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed) was looking at him. He knew what they were thinking. They wanted him to get a move on and propose. He smirked to himself.
"Lois?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you look at me? There is something I want to ask you."
Lois looked at him, with one eyebrow raised.
"Lois, you remember what I said out in the loft earlier about knowing that I could not live without you?"
"Yes."
"Well, Lois Lane," Clark said, getting down on one knee in front of her. "Will you please make the happiest man on the planet and marry me?"
Lois stared at him for a moment. She then gave him a blinding smile.
"Of course, I will marry you, Smallville. I would not have it any other way."
Clark stood and pulled Lois to her feet. He slid the ring on her finger, wrapped his arms around her, and proceeded to kiss her. Around them, their family and friends applauded for them. Clark had never been happier.
