A/N - Ok, I'm wrapping this one up. If you're a CHLARK lover, take this little bit and run with it if you would like. Me, I'm not that ship for the most part. Plus, if they like each other already, it's harder to come up with issues when Lana's not around. R/R thanks! BTW, La Isla Bonita is from Madonna and Ptrick Leonard by Sire Records.
Leaving Day 3 GOOD – Chapter 6
Clark and Chloe both boarded the tiny helicopter that was sitting on the edge of the dock. Immediately Chloe leaned against his arm, still nursing a slight hangover. She ran her hands up and down his arm as they left the ground. "Clark?"
"We're going to be happy, right?"
Clark leaned over and ran his hand against her face and smiled. "Yes." Chloe slowly lifted her head and met his lips in a kiss before falling back to sleep in his arms. He gazed at her a little longer before watching the Caribbean Sea fly by under the plane.
'Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby'
Clark and Chloe had no problem keeping up appearances back home. She lived in Metropolis and he in Smallville, although he had no problem getting there quickly if needed. The Monday night they had waited for finally arrived 3 weeks later. They sat in Clark's living room with his mom, Gabe, and several other friends. It killed them that they had signed that contract saying that they couldn't appear together, even in their hometown, until the show aired.
"Welcome back Chloe. Clark. So, are you ready to reveal how your weekend in paradise went?"
"Yes, we are Carson," Chloe answered. Clark looked at her from the other side of Carson. The three faced a large screen, and their past weekend poured out the details of their jaunts to San Pedro, the private island, and the bedroom. The two continued to almost giggle through the more private moments but were smiling at each other the entire time.
"I guess I don't have to ask but since it's scripted. Are you two planning on continuing your relationship?"
Clark looked over at his mom and almost cringed about the same time Chloe noticed the almost perturbed look on her father's face. But both softened their glares on their children when they watched Clark kiss her and spin her around on the television stage.
Chloe got up and walked across the living room and sat between Clark's legs and kissed him in front of the family and friends. Pulling back, Chloe gazed at him, rubbing her hands down both sides of his face. "This week has felt like an eternity."
Clark ran his hands through her hair, "Week? In my stupidity, it took a 5 years and a game show to get us here." He pulled her in and kissed her again before being interrupted by the clapping of the audience on the TV and their parents clearing their throat.
