-1Chapter 14- Breakfast?
Impulse left midway through the movie, right when Lana started to cry. Clark didn't understand why girls just burst into tears when ever there was something emotional. This movie was bringing out all the stops to get her to spew.
Clark had watched as Impulse changed into his uniform and super speed out. Clark shook his head, silently wishing him luck. Lana clutched onto his shirt and stifled a sob.
"Clark, did you write me everyday?" Lana asked. Clark smiled softly and looked down at her. He gently wiped away her tears with the pad of his thumb.
"If I could have, I would. I did think of you every second." Clark said. "There were times that I thought I couldn't make it through the training. I had hope that one day, I could come back to you. And I pushed through the pain and sweat and I did what I needed to do."
Lana watched him and saw the emotion in his eyes. Clark had been through something and she didn't know what. It had scarred him though, she knew that much. Right now their was something more to the moment.
Clark couldn't fight the moment. He was being drawn closer to her, their lips almost touching. He wanted it. Their was no denying it. He wanted Lana, in everyway. The space was killing him. They were mere inches away from kissing and nothing was stopping them, until his COM link started to beep.
Clark sighed in frustration and picked it up off the coffee table, sliding it onto his ear.
"Kal." Clark said trying not to sound agitated.
"Everything alright Kal?" Oliver asked
"Fine." Clark said shaking his head and giving Lana an apologetic look.
"I've just heard from Impulse. Lex knows the files were taken and he's currently safe guarding the ones at Luthorcorp in Metropolis. I've sent Impulse to Luthor Manor to retrieve the files from his computer." Oliver said.
"Does he know it was me?" Clark asked.
"Negative. We haven't heard word on whom he suspects. I want you to stay up and wait for him. Contact me when he gets back." Oliver said.
"Roger that. Out." Clark said. He removed the COM link and tossed it back onto the coffee table.
"What was that about?" Lana asked, having paused the movie.
"Impu…sorry Bart is out on assignment. Oliver needs me to wait up." Clark said.
Lana smiled and Clark recognized it. It was years ago and he was at the lake. He's plan was to go skinny dipping when Lana showed up. She'd suggested they'd do it together telling him she was game if he was. She was wearing the same smile that she wore when telling him to not peak.
"What is on your mind?" Clark asked.
"Come closer and I'll let you know." Lana said.
Clark smiled and leaned closer, but there was still enough room she'd have to reach. "Kiss me." She said. Clark was relieved to hear her say those words. Yet worried of what would come out of them kissing. He was willing to take the risk.
He leaned the rest of the way and captured her lips with his. His stomach lurched and his heart stop beating. It was as if time stood still and the world was righting itself. He reached up and rubbed her cheek with the palm of his hand. His other hand found it's way to her waist and rested peacefully.
She reached up and wrapped her hands in his hair and pulled him tighter into her lips. Their kiss deepened, and she begged for him to take it further. She opened up to him and he gladly took the next step. Their tongues dueled for dominance and neither gained control, not that they minded.
The rest of the movie was forgotten as they redefined their relationship.
Lana had eventually gone to bed after Clark had tucked her in. She'd fallen asleep on him again but he couldn't risk falling asleep with her. He had lifted her up and carried her back to the bedroom she was staying in.
Clark had stayed up and read through the files. Of course with super speed it was done in seconds. For the rest of the night he'd worked out. Doing push-ups, sit-ups, fly-ups. By dawn he was exhausted and ready to go to bed himself. Impulse had yet to return from his mission last night.
He was worried and was tempted to speed over and see what had happened. He could be back before Lana woke but he couldn't risk being found out. Instead he opted to tell Oliver the news.
He found his COM link which was on the floor. Somehow they'd knocked it off the coffee table last night. He smiled at the memory of making out passionately with Lana for hours. He pulled on the COM link and waited for Oliver to respond.
A few minutes later Oliver responded. "Kal?" Oliver asked.
"Yes sir." Clark said.
"What did Impulse report?" Oliver asked.
"That's just it sir. Impulse has yet to return." Clark said.
Silence was his answer. A man was missing in action.
"Kal, stay there. We've finished up and are on our way back." Oliver said.
"Roger that." Clark said. The COM link went dead and Clark pocketed it. Clark listened to Lana and could hear her moving around. It would be best if he made her breakfast and acted like everything was fine. He had a desire for eggs, bacon, and pancakes with blueberries.
He super speed around the kitchen and used his heat vision to cook everything. When Lana walked out into the kitchen he was placing the plates of food on the table.
"Whoa!?!" Lana exclaimed seeing the feast laid out before her.
Clark looked up and smiled pulling out a chair for her.
"How did you?" She asked not quiet forming her question.
Clark looked at her trying to see where she was getting at. "I'm sorry?" He asked.
"I just checked on you a minute ago. You were on the ear thing and nothing was going on in the kitchen. I step back out and this?" She asked waving her hands around at the table.
Clark stood and stuttered in response. He was busted for sure.
