Chapter 2
Picnics and midnight woo's
After classes Clark and Bronagh headed to the farm in Clark's red truck . On the journey the listened to maroon 5's song make me wonder, Clark just kept his eyes on the road while Bronagh just looked out the window she never realised how much she missed her grandparents farm back in Ireland.
When the arrived at the Kent Farm Clark opened the door for Bronagh being a real gentleman has he was they went into the house and Clark opened the freezer
Clark: would like something to drink
Bronagh nodded
Clark: here's some lemonade it's my mom's speciality ( he handed her the glass)
Bronagh took a sip, it was really nice , she smiled
Bronagh: I guess it is thanks
Clark just didn't know what to say which was kind of unusual most of his friends where girls, why did this one girl make him really nervous
Clark: so do you want to see the barn
Bronagh: Sure why not ( she smiled)
Clark brought her out to the barn which is dad ad called the Fortress of Solitude this was his favourite place to go and think, the a lot of good memories happened here in the barn, this is where he got his first kiss this is where he kissed Lana for the first time too ,but it also held very bad memories this where his dad had died and this is where Zod had sent him to the phantom Zone. Still no matter what happened he remembered his Father had build this for him so that he could look at stars and for him to think.
Bronagh walked upstairs and went to look out the window the sunset was lovely she hadn't seen the sun this close before, Clark leaned against the side of the window thinking about how lovely she looked in the sun light.
Clark: so what do ya think
Bronagh smiled
Bronagh: I think it's beautiful , I haven't seen the sun this close before
Clark: it's like this most of the time , I guess it's the perks of living on a farm ( he gazed out the window enjoying the view)
Bronagh: so where's your parents
Clark: well my mom stays in Washington most of time and I sometimes fly out to see her ..she's the senator of Kansas and well my Dad well he died two years ago.
Bronagh felt sorry for him his mom was always at Washington his dad was dead she knew how he felt but something in his eyes when he spoke about his dad made her want to cry .
Bronagh decided to lighten the mood
Bronagh: so what do hot farm boys do on a farm ,other than look at lovely scenery
Clark laughed his face just turned red , he was shocked at what she had said he was saying inside himself yes yes she thinks I 'm hot
Clark: well we could go or a walk or go horse back riding and a picnic
Clark thought to himself good idea a picnic under the stars that would be great just me and her
Bronagh: yeah that sounds like a good idea , I guess we better go make u the picnic
Clark: ok
Clark and her went back down to the house and made a very large picnic, after preparing the picnic they headed out to the horses and saddled them up .Clark decided to ring her where him an Lana used to go even know it felt weird going back there still was a lovely spot to have picnic the .
They arrived at the spot and unsaddled the horses to Clark's surprise Bronagh was able to unsaddle and tie the horses up.
Clark: so if you haven't been on a farm before ( grinning at her)
Bronagh smiled sheepishly: well I'm a , very fast , learner
Clark just smiled has her totally on convinced he just stared at her with his sea blue eyes and a kind of puppy dog look.
Bronagh couldn't hold out anymore they way he was looking at her
Bronagh: ok , I … my grandparents used to own a farm and well I grew up knowing a lot about horses
Clark just stared at her, she had lied to him about never being on a farm
Clark: so why lie about not being on a farm before
Bronagh: because I thought you wouldn't ask me to go to the farm and that I didn't want you to think you had nothing to empress me with ( she looked around trying to not make eye contact with him)
Clark smiled he really did like her
Clark: I would of asked you to the farm even if you had seen a farm before, and I guess we could of did something else like milking a cow or something
Bronagh giggled at his very bad attempt to cheer her up ,but still even him looking at her the way he did cheered her up big time.
Clark: well would you like a glass of lemonade or something to eat madam
He held the jug like it was a bottle of wine trying not to spill it everywhere
Bronagh: I'll have glass please sir
Clark: very well madam, would you like something to eat , peanut butter and jelly sandwich or mayo and lettuce
Bronagh: I'll try the peanut and jelly sandwich please( she put the sandwich to her mouth and before she took a bite ) I die it's on your mind
Clark: we'll don't eat, I want you alive (he giggled)
Bronagh ate a bit of the sandwich and enjoyed it, after her Clark where finished eating she just stared at the stars which where shining very brightly
Clark: so what do you wanna do after collage
Bronagh thought: well ,I wanna travel a bit before I settle down in just one job, so want do you want to do
Clark: well after collage I also want travel see the different countries and there cultures and then I plan on being a journalist
It had now gotten dark and Bronagh was very cold unlike Clark who could be out in the Artic and not feel the cold, Clark notice her shivering he didn't have jacket put round and she wasn't wearing a jacket she must of left it back at the farm.
Clark: would you mind if I( gulp) put my arm around you (she stared wide eyed trying to make him think that she thought he was up to something)
Bronagh: ok
Clark gently pulled her close to him and put his well toned arm around her.
Clark: it's nice isn't it
He said looking up at the night sky , the stars where now clear and shining brightly
Bronagh: yeah… it is , you never really notice how beautiful the world is until you look at it properly , it's terrible to think that all some people wanna do is destroy it ( now gazing straight into his eyes)
Clark: but it still don't mean we can't try to help it( he smile trying to cheer her up and using the Kent charm as Chloe called it)
Bronagh just stared into those kind blue eyes , thinking I want to kiss him but would he freak out , Clark set there is arm wrapped round her thinking how most they where alike and how much he wanted to kiss her, Clark and Bronagh gazed into each other eyes and Clark was shocked when she kissed him.
The kiss didn't last long but to them it felt longer .
Bronagh: sorry
Clark just stared shock at what she did but glad she did it
Clark: it's ok ( and he kissed her back)
Clark came out of the kiss and just looked up at the sky
Clark: I think we should head back it I think it's going to rain
Bronagh nodded and her and him headed back to the Kent farm has they jumped of the horses it began to rain heavy Clark and Bronagh quickly ran into the barn and has Clark ran in Bronagh tripped and landed on top of Clark who was really wet from the rain.
Clark and Bronagh lay on the ground staring into each other eyes
Bronagh: hi there ( she kissed him)
Clark just lay there enjoying the kiss then he rolled on top of her, Bronagh was shocked at what he did
Clark: I think we should get dried now, don't ya think
Bronagh: well we could do that or we could just lie here all night like this ( she smiled seductively)…
Clark's eyes nearly popped out of is head, his face went bright red
I 'm joking with Clark, come on let's get dried up ( she pushed him off her and stood up, she was really wet and Clark had made her wetter with him on top of her.
Clark just lay there on the ground wondering how had she made him feel his way they had only known each other a day and she made him feel complete.
Bronagh: well are you coming or what
Clark jumped up he was covered in dirt and was very damp his hair was curly and Bronagh thought he looked really cute the white t-shirt he was wearing was damp and it clung to his muscles.
Clark: well are you coming or not
Bronagh came out of her daze from looking had Clark
Bronagh nodded
They ran into the house because it was still raining very heavily and it had gotten very windy.
Clark: so I'll go grab some towels , and then I'll drive you home
Bronagh looked at her watch it read 12.00
Bronagh: Clark would it be ok if I stay here tonight, I'll sleep on the settee
Clark: alright you can stay in my bed …I mean I'll sleep on the couch, you can have my bed
Bronagh: no it's ok you can sleep in your own bed
Clark: no , my mother would kill me if she found out I made a guest sleep on the couch
Bronagh: Are you sure because I don't mind sleeping on the couch
Clark: I'm positive, I'll on the couch
Bronagh: fine , thanks
Clark brought Bronagh up to his bedroom to grab something for her to sleep in, Bronagh just looked around his room everything was neat and his bed sheets where plaid Bronagh though to her self a real farm boy , then she thought to herself why am I thinking at his bed sheets
Clark opened up his wardrobe and pulled out a very large flannel shirt
Clark: here I think this should do that's unless you want a different colour
Bronagh: no blue's fine
Clark: ok ,well I'll be down stairs if you need any thing, the bathroom just across the hall
Bronagh: well thanks, I mean for today it's been a long time since I have had fun
Clark: well, then thank you too because I haven't had fun in a while either ( he smiled).. Goodnight then
Has he was going for the door she kissed him
Bronagh: Goodnight
Clark walked down the stairs with a goofy grin on his face, Clark took of his wet clothes and put on his bottoms with no t-shirt on, he then layed down on the couch and quickly fell asleep, a couple of hours later he heard someone in the Kitchen, he woke up to find Bronagh drinking a glass of milk.
He set there on a stool next to her she was wearing his flannel shirt which was enormous on her it looked like dress.
Bronagh: sorry I woke ya up ,couldn't sleep
Clark: it's ok
Bronagh: want a glass of milk
Clark: sure why not
She grabbed a glass from the cupboard which surprised Clark how at home she was and it suited her
Bronagh poured milk in to the Glass and handed it to him
Clark: thanks
Bronagh: you most get lonely being in the house by yourself
Clark gulping down a glass of milk
Clark: yeah sometimes
Bronagh: the farm lovely
Clark: yes it is , it's been in my family for years
Bronagh: it's nice to know it's lasted this long , when my grandparents bought there farm I was four I used to love being there feeding the animals I even remember my dad and how good it was having him around then( Looked down swilling up with tears)
Clark: I remember the last time, my dad and me went fishing , yeah I I might of hated fishing but I enjoyed it with him… I can remember the look in his eyes when I had caught a larger fish than him… h or was so pleased with me, I loved that feeling
Bronagh: yeah I remember the last time I seen my dad he told me that he was going away for a while and one day he would be back to see me, I waited for years after that I still haven't seen him( bronagh face was now stained with tears)
Clark got of his stool and hugged her, As much had he tried to feel the same way he couldn't his dad had been there form the beginning until the end
Clark: it's ok, maybe one day you'll find him
Bronagh looked up at him
Bronagh: as much as I would like that to happen, it won't because he probably has another family by now
Clark: well you still can't give up hope …even if you remember a tiny memory of him ,it don't mean he gone for good, there's some days I forget what my dad was like and how I could be the man he wanted me to be and then I remember the good memories and then I don't feel as sad has was forgetting
Bronagh wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly
Bronagh: you know your amazing, I have only known you two days now and feel I have known you before
Then she kissed him passionately and they lay down on the couch Clark held on to Bronagh has tight has he could trying not to hurt her with his strength, then he thought to himself she been though a lot but still she let's people care for her.
