I'm loving all of your feedback thanks bunches:D
Clark and Lana stood there for a few moments gazing into each other's love filled eyes before the ring tone "Don't Cha" interrupted them. Clark glanced at his cell phone then back at Lana with a sullen look, "It's Lois." There was no happiness in his voice, only regret, when he spoke her name.
Lana's smile quickly faded and she began to remove her arms from Clark before he tightened his embrace. Sighing, she rested her head on his chest wanting to listen the steady rhythmic thumping of his heart instead of the conversation.
Flipping his phone open, Clark breathed deeply, "Lois, hey…"
"Clark, before you say anything else, I just want to apologize for leaving you this weekend," Clark scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. Since when did Lois ever apologize for anything? "…and I'm already missing you! How silly is that? Ok, so it's not silly when you're in love I guess…"
Lana jerked her head away when she heard Lois's shrill voice over the phone and wished she hadn't. It felt like her world had stopped spinning for a moment when she realized Clark was with someone else. Lana didn't doubt Clark's love for her, she could feel with every fiber in her being, but did he love Lois as well? She also began to feel guilty, she couldn't do this to Lois.
"…so I wanted to make it up to you. When you come back tomorrow night I have a surprise for you!…" Not wanting to hear anymore, Lana backed away from Clark, against his disappointment, and weakly smiled before heading for the front porch.
Clark felt Lana moving away and he tried to hold on to her, but he saw the sadness in her eyes. His own sorrow matched hers. Not listening to a word Lois was saying, Clark continued to stare into Lana's eyes. Understanding her silent need, he let her go and watched her slowly walk away.
"Clark?! Are you going to meet me?" Lois's irritated voice sounded through the speaker of his phone.
Shaking his head slightly, Clark absentmindedly responded, "Of course."
"Okay great! I love you."
"Yeah…um, bye," Clark hesitated before closing his phone. Guilt overcame him when he realized he couldn't tell Lois he loved her.
Lana gradually made her way up the steps and was surprised to find the Kent's sitting on the porch swing silently swinging. They seemed to not have noticed Lana while they snuggled together, both set of eyes shut humming to the old love song playing softly on the radio. A smile once again found its home on Lana's face while she watched the older couple, imagining it as her and Clark one day. Deciding not to disturb them, she slipped into the house.
Martha opened her eyes when she heard the screen door closing and glanced in the direction she had last seen Clark and Lana standing together. Knitting her eyebrows in confusion when she found Clark now alone staring into space with his cell phone in hand, Martha decided to go talk to him. Removing herself from Johnathan's embrace she got off of the swing.
"Where are you going honey?" Johnathan asked, continuing to swing. Martha pointed toward Clark and Johnathan immediately understood. Simply nodding, he watched Martha descend the steps and stroll over to Clark.
Clark stood staring out at the farm in deep thought when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Slightly jumping, he turned to find his mom with a loving smile adorned on her face. "Mom, hey."
"Hey Clark," Martha replied, "what's bothering you?"
Shaking his head, Clark inquired, "What makes you think anything is wrong?"
Laughing gently, Martha patted him on the shoulder, "Mother's intuition. That…and I saw you and Lana together and now you are alone."
"Ahh, I see," Clark smiled. He knew there was no use lying to his mom. Martha could read him easier than a book, heavily sighing he began, "Mom…I want to be with Lana," he started, "but…"
"But there's Lois," Martha stated.
"Yeah," Clark took a deep breath and let it out. Why couldn't things ever be easy for him?
"Do you love her?"
"Well obviously I love Lana…"
"No, Clark I was talking about Lois."
"Well I…I," Clark dropped his head and kicked at some gravel, he had to be honest, "No, I don't love her."
"Then go be with Lana, Clark. When I saw the look the two of you were giving each other, I cried because I hadn't seen you that happy in years," Martha acknowledged, causing Clark to bring his head back up at look at her.
"Lois has been great, but I just can't give her the love she wants from me. It belongs to Lana and always has. I just don't want to hurt her," Clark stuffed his hands in his pocket and shrugged. He didn't know what to do, he was so confused.
"Clark, you'll be hurting yourself more if you don't follow your heart. Now I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me right now what your heart wants," Martha affirmed.
Without hesitation, without any delays and without any doubt, Clark answered the one word his heart was screaming, "Lana."
