FEBRUARY
You're my little valentine
Clark was getting ready for his big date when his cell phone rings. "Hello?" speaking into the phone as he's putting on his jacket. "Hi, Chloe," picking up his wallet and slipping it into one of the front pockets. "I can't talk right now because we're going out to dinner," also picking up his keys. "The present?" stopping short in the middle of the room. "I did forget to pick it up."
He glances at his watch. "Okay, I'll be right over. Can you make sure the window is open so that I could just fly right in and get it? I don't want her to know I forgot. Thanks. I'll see you in a few seconds," hanging up the phone.
He jumps out of the open window and takes off into the early evening sky and arrives at Jimmy and Chloe's apartment. "Thanks, Chloe," he says as he lands in the middle of the bedroom.
"Anytime, Clark," smiling at him as she hands him the present.
"So how did the portrait come out anyway?" Clark asks her.
"It came out great. She'll love it."
"I'm sure she will," he replies with a smile. He walks back to the window and turns around. "Happy Valentine's Day," giving her a wave.
"Ditto," winking at him as Clark takes off once again into the sky.
He arrives back at the farm a few seconds later and comes in the way he left. He closes the window and places the present on the bed. He checks his reflection in the mirror once more before opening the door and stepping out into the hallway.
"Come on, I'm hungry," she calls up to him; fidgeting impatiently as she stand by the kitchen door.
"I'm coming," he replies; fixing his tie as he comes down the stairs. He stops at the bottom of the stairs and stares at her. "Is that a new dress?" his eyes taking in the red dress dotted with little hearts.
"Yes," the skirt floating around her legs as she twirls around. "You like it?"
"I love it. You look so beautiful," a big smile on his face as he walks over and sweeps her into his arms. "So are you ready for your big Valentine's Day dinner?" sweeping a lock of hair off her face.
"I've been waiting for it all day," smiling back at him. "Where's my present?" she immediately asks him.
"I'll give it to you when we come back," he replies; softly kissing her cheek.
"Okay," a slight hint of disappointment on her face.
He smiles at her. "Do you want to hear a secret?"
"Always," nodding her head eagerly.
He leans forward and whispers in her ear, "You're my little valentine. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
"I won't. I promise," a serious expression on her face.
"Good," kissing her once more. "I love you, honey."
"I love you too, Daddy."
