<sniffle> Poor Clark!
He wasn’t allowed to turn abandon them. And that was when he had thrown himself into teaching with a steadfast determination. It was really all he had to live for at the moment. His smile turned wry and self deprecating. His mother would tan his hide if she knew he had dark thoughts like that tumbling through his mind.
<raises hand> ooooh, pick me, pick me!!! Can I tan his hide? LOL. Sorry...
It was only when he had breathed against her skin a whispered name that everything came crashing down around him. His date jumped off of him, miffed and hurt as Clark hazily tried to realize what was wrong. As he slowly came back to reality, he grimaced and jumped off the bed, grabbing his jeans and shoving them on.
“I am so, so sor--”
“Go to hell!”
Awwwww - that's so sad! How could she be so cruel??? I mean maybe if she didn't know his circumstances... but if she did??? Where is she? I wanna slap her!
*ahem*
Hah! Loved Martha's email. <g>
He had grown to accept everything. He had already experienced the love of his life and he was grateful. There wasn’t anyone else in the world for him and he was all right with that.
Oh, Clark! How wrong you are!!!

Just wait till Lois gets through with you - you won't know what love is. <g>
“I can drive you home!” he finally blurted out.
LOLSSS!!! Oh god, you have no idea how hard I laughed at this. Poor Clark, he was just trying to keep the "kitten" from the "lion" but that was just WRONG. LOL!!! Ha ha!
Okay, great chapter. I'll be reading 4 shortly. Thanks!
