I know i haven't updated in a while, but that was because i was unsure about continuing with the story as I didn't get no reviews for a while, but alas, I have decided to continue for crimson-rose-blossoms, as a thank you for reviewing.
Previous chapter:
Clark forced himself to sit up in the hay so that he could glare at the girl infront of him."Well since the hay prince is down here hows about we get the little hay princess down her with him." he said before pulling her down on top of him. Hermione squealed and then they both burst into laughter at the current remained like this for several minutes before the laughter began to began to lean forwards towards her face and Hermione began to lean in to meet him lips were almost touching when Clark's phone started ringing damn! he stood up her cheeks flushed at what they had almost done.
"Yes,mum...okay we're coming...bye."Clark put his phone away and walked up to Hermione his cheeks burnt with embarrassment, "Erm,that was my mum she says that tea is done and wants us to hit the road there as fast as possible!" he said surprised that he didn't stutter or make a fool out of himself.
"Okay then!"she said.
Chapter 3:
Hermione was nervous, no wait scratch that- she was terrified. This was a new experience for her and she was concerned about how Clark's mum was going to react to her. She sat in the truck looking out at the corn fields thinking about all that had happened in the last few days, sighing when she thought about how well she had done, but frowning when she realized that she had sacrificed her best friends for her own happiness. I will write to them soon! she told herself, determined not to forget about them.
Clark Kent was also lost in his thoughts over what nearly happened in the hay, sneaking glances over at the girl and smiling at her peaceful expression, before turning back to the road. Thinking about the almost kiss between them Clark frowned, aren't I supposed to be in love with Lana? he asked himself . No, another voice said, she was just a distraction, this girl is the real thing! the voice told him, and Clark shook his head confused.
Hermione looked at Clark and frowned at the emotional battle going on in his eyes. Deciding that the atmosphere was slightly to eerie for her taste she decided to talk to him. "Clark are you okay?" she asked concern evident in her voice.
Clark snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of Hermione's voice and turned to her smiling. "Course I am mione, why'd ya ask?" he said calmly, before turning to the road once more and turning off at the 'Kent Farm' sign. "We're here!" he sighed as he pulled up outside a barn.
Hermione looked at Clark frowning, "Gee I don't know why I asked. Maybe it was because you let a run of different emotions play through your eyes, you dummie." she said sarcastically, whilst smiling. Clark raised his eyebrows in confusion at her attitude, but decided that it was a girl thing. Hermione looked out of the window at the barn, before turning around and smirking at Clark. "Is that where you sleep then?" she said in a playful tone, whilst pointing to the barn.
Clark looked in the direction that she was pointing, before turning back to her glaring. "No I live in the house actually!" he defended, acting hurt at the accusation. The girl laughed and opened the car door, stepping out and looking around. Clark smiled at the sight as he stepped out of the car and walked towards the house. He stopped at the steps and turned around to see that Hermione was still stood in the same spot, as if in a trance. "Hey Mione, you coming or what?" he asked in a playful tone, smirking at the confused expression on his companions face as she realized where he was.
Hermione snapped out of her stupar and looked around confused, before spotting Clark at the steps of the house smirking. The girl walked up to Clark and glared at him before standing at his side. Once facing the entance of the house, Hermione spoke in an annoyed tone. "Clark don't call me Mione, okay."
They had just walked up the steps and Clark walked into the house before turning to face Hermione with an innocent face. "Me call you Mione, now whatever gave you that idea Mione?" he asked playfully and smirking as he saw Hermione go red with anger. Clark raised an eyebrow, at her face before walking toward the the kitchen and calling out for his mum.
"I was upstairs Clark, no need to shout." a femine voice said softly. The owner of the voice walked in a moment later and smiled softly at her son, before turning to face Hermione and pulling her into a hug. "You must be Hermione dear, i'm Martha Kent, Clark's mum." she said before pulling back and smiling at the shocked girl. "And don't let Clark get to you okay, he teases everyone like that." she said smiling amusedly between the two and almost laughing at the look of helplessness on her son's face as Hermione glared at him. "Your tea is already on the side if you'd like to follow me." she said signalling for both teenagers to follow her into the kitchen.
Tea was a quiet affair with Martha and Clark talking amongst themselves, making sure to involve Hermione every once in a while, so that she didn't feel left out. Hermione smiled at the scene before her wistfully and only wished that her family were like the Kent's, but she sadly she knew that that would never happen. Hermione was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize that Martha was talking to her until she felt a soft poke in her ribs from Clark. Shaking her head the girl turned to face the woman and smiled. "Oh i'm sorry Mrs. Kent I didn't realize that you were speaking to me." she said in an apologetic tone.
Martha just chuckled softly and put her hand on the girls shoulder squeezing it gently and fortunately for Hermione missing the brief flash of pain on the her face, before she covered it up. "Oh that's okay dear, you've had a long day so I suppose I can expect you to zone out on me every once in a while. Anyway I was just explaining to Clark about how I managed to get you enroled at Smallville High with him and Chloe, is that okay?" she asked in a caring tone. Hermione stood up and walked over to Martha, giving her a hug before pulling back with tears in her eyes.
"That's wonderful news Mrs Kent, thank you." she said smiling at the red-headed woman. Hermione looked around nervously and put her hands behind her back. "Erm... Mrs Kent, I don't mind to sound terribly rude or anything...it's just that it's been an awfully long day...and well I was wondering if I could go to bed." Hermione said quickly and quietly looking at the woman with a little fear. Martha nodded, smiling softly at the young girl, before asking Clark to show her where she would be sleeping.
The two teens walked up the stairs silently and walked along the landing before stopping outside a room-Clarks room to be precise. When Hermione noticed this she tried and failed to protest about how she should sleep on the couch as she was the guest but Clark won the argument in the end. "Look Hermione, I really don't know what your getting so worked up about. My mum thinks that it's only fair that you being nearly a woman and all, that you would need your privacy and I agreed." Clark paused a moment and sighed when he saw the girl ready to protest once more. He hastily added, "Besides the couch is no place for a lady such as yourself, therefore it is only right that I sleep there, okay?"
Hermione finally decided to cave in and blushed at his last statement. "Fine Clarkie boy, you win-for now. And it's only cos of your compliments as well." she added with a wink and smirked as she saw the farm boy blush. Aww! how cute she thought softly before mentally hitting herself on her head, don't think about him like that!she added thoughtfully. Heading into the room Hermione turned around to face Clark one more time, "G'night Clark." she said in a tired voice.
"Night Hermione...oh by the way we're meeting up with Chlo tomorrow okay?" he said softly before walking away after receiving a nod from Hermione.
Hermione closed the door and walked up to her trunk pulling out a pair of Pyjamas and changing into them. The young girl looked around the room for a moment and smiled before climbing in bed and closing her eyes, thinking about what tomorrow would bring.
A/N: Another chapter is done and dusted. Now I know that I said that they would go out with Chloe in this chapter but I decided to do that next chapter instead.
Please read and review and I will have another chapter ready for you all soon.
