Martha and Lionel were walking in the barn hand in hand as they tried to say how they were feeling. Each one had rehearsed the scene so many times but at that moment the words didn't come. Martha froze and began to try and say something but all she could do was smile, they realized no words could describe what they felt.
"Martha, I...I am just going to say it." Lionel began.
Martha looked into Lionel's eyes knowing what he was going to say, she stood and waited. Lionel took her hands in his and looked down at her and just smiled.
As Lionel looke into Martha's eyes he said all that he could say, three simple but meaningful words. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Martha cried as tears streamed down her face.
Their lips met with such a light and subtle touch, even with it being the barrest of touch they were still completely oblivious to Clark, Lois and Chloe walking into the barn. Chloe walked up to them with the potion/spray held out. The two broke apart and was only to catch a glimpse of Chloe spraying them. A couple of minutes later the two woke up in the living room.
"What...what happened?" Martha asked as she looked around the living room.
"I was just wondering the same thing." Lionel replied as he looked up at the three young adults.
"Do you remember that seducing lipstick?" Lois asked Martha.
"Yah, how could I wait are you saying I got ahold of that lipstick." Martha replied.
"Yep, and the first man you saw was Lionel." Lois told a rather stunned Martha.
"I...I...I am so sorry, Lionel!" Apologized Martha, in actuallity Martha didn't really want to apologize but she thought it would be the right thing to do.
"You don't have to apologize for anything, Martha you didn't know what you were doing." Lionel said a little sadly.
Martha just nodded her head and looked away from Lionel. A couple of minutes later Lionel decided he was going to leave and go home. Once Lionel was gone the others sat in the kitchen drinking cups of coffee and talking, well all were talking except Martha. As Martha thought she remembered that she was going to tell Lionel how she felt even before that whole lipstick mess. The memories began to hit Martha one after the other until she stood up and grabbed her keys.
"Were you going, mom?" Clark asked.
"I'm going to go and talk to, Lionel. I just realized that it wasn't the lipstick! Yes, it cause of this mess but it just helped push me into something that I have been denying for a long time." Martha replied.
"What are you denying?" Questioned a oblivious Clark.
"I think I know." Chloe replied.
"I think I know, too." Lois agreed with Chloe.
"What i've been denying is that I...I am in love with, Lionel and I don't want to run anymore." Martha admited as she finally walked out the door and went to her car and drove to Metropolis.
Two hours later Martha arrived at the front door of Lionel Luthors penthouse. Martha took a deep breath and knocked on the door, she had know idea as to what she was going to say. A second before the door opened she decided she would just say the first thing that came to her mind. The door opened and on the other side was Lionel Luthor in his black slacks and a white wife beater.
"Martha, what are you doing here?" Lionel asked as he saw the beautiful read head infront of him.
Martha said and did the first things that came to her mind. "I love you!" Martha replied as she then jumped into Lionel's arms and kissed him with every emotion that ran through her. Lionel quickly returned the kisses and putting all the feelings he has ever had for her, and with the regret for not kissing her on Thanksgiving.
Lionel had closed the door and was now hugging Martha.
"I have tried so hard to be with you in everyway that you would allow." Lionel said as he looked into Martha's eyes and saw all of the memories he had of her spinning through his mind.
Whisper Memories, Memories, Memories
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay
"I know you have, I always knew you would never leave me." She replied as all the good memories began to ease away all the uneasyness and pain.
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why
The two then just stood and smiled at eachother after they both came to the realization that the whole time they were waiting for the other to make a move. Laughter began to incase the room as Martha began to laugh at the childishness of it. She stopped laughing though when Lionel placed his hand lightly on her face and cupped her cheek. The butterflys began to flutter in Marthas stomach like they were ocean waves. Lionel laid a light feathery kiss on Martha's lips and all she could do was go weak in the knees. All the memories they had of eachother kept them closer than they could have ever imagined.
Chorus
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
The kiss deepened as did the memories. All the nights the two would stay up thinking and crying about and for the other crushed into them and mixed with the never ending aurura of passion. Martha knew Lionel was okay, just like he knew she was and they could finally be together and go home.
Made me promise I'd try
To find my back in this life
I hope there is away
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home
The two had moved to Lionels bedroom and were sitting on the bed in eachothers arms.
"Martha?" Lionel asked as he broke the kiss.
"Yes?"
"I love you and I love all of the memories." Lionel replied
"I love you, too and I will till the end of time." She smiled as she took Lionel's mouth onto her own. The two fell onto the bed.
Chorus
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time
Chorus
The next morning Lionel awoke to Martha laying in his arms and all he could do was laugh, laugh at the memories and all of the knew ones. Especially the memory where all of the dreams he had ever dreamed came true because of a lipstick and the incredible women beside him.
And thats it! I hoped you all enjoyed it, I know I did! I will now go and work on my No Title As Of Yet! story so wait for that. RandR! What did you think Scottish Sorbet, probably not what you expected.
