Venomous Love

Chapter 6

I get up the next morning every inch of me aching. I take a quick shower, pull my hair in a side braid, and do my natural makeup. I slip on a black long sleeved jacket with no shirt underneath, white skinny jeans, and white boots with buckles. I grab my phone and keys. I slip my phone in my back pocket and go downstairs. I sit at the counter and yawn. "Tired", Martha asks. Jonathan and Clark look at me.

"Exhausted. I kept waking up with these horrible nightmares. Plus adding the pain. It was awful", I reply.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that", Jonathan says. I shrug my shoulders and get up.
"I'm gonna go get a latte. Maybe it'll wake me up. Anyone want anything", I say.

"No I guess not", Martha says.

"Okay. I'll be back", I say leaving. I get in my car and drive to The Talon. I get out and walk inside. "Morning Lana", I yawn.

"Morning. You look exhausted", Lana frowns.

"I am. I kept having these horrid nightmares. And these excruciating pains", I reply.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that", Lana says.
"It's fine. But I could really use a latte", I say. "And a job", I say anticipating the last part.

"The latte I understand. But why do you need a job", Lana asks fixing my latte.

"Well I thought I might help out Martha and Jonathan. They gave me a home. The least I could do is help out a little with the payments", I reply.

"They're lucky to have you. You're the sweetest girl I've ever met", Lana smiles setting down my latte.

"Thanks", I smile.

"So about the job you'd have to talk to Lex. Since he owns the place", Lana says.

"Oh", I sigh.

"What's wrong? You seem disappointed", Lana says.

"I didn't really want Lex to know", I say.

"Why", Lana asks.

"I don't know I just feel like he would try and offer me money. Plus I don't want him to worry about me", I reply.
"I won't tell him. I promise", Lana says.

"Really? Thank you so much", I smile. I drink the rest of my latte and wave goodbye. I walk back to my car and get in. I drive to the hospital and walk into Lex's room. I see Lex getting up shirtless with only shorts on. "Lex what are you doing", I say.

"Leaving. I can't stay here any longer. I have work to do", Lex replies.

"Lex... wait", I say

"What", Lex snaps.

"Sit down and wait", I say. Lex sits on the bed and I sit next to him.

"Lex you're hurt. You need to rest", I say.

"I have work that needs to get done", Lex says starting to get up. I pull him back and he looks at me.

"Think about this... please", I say.

"I'm leaving... but I'll rest when I can. Now can you help me get dressed", Lex asks. I nod and we get up. He slips off his shirt and I help him put on a new one. I turn around as he gets dressed below the waist.

"Good", I ask.

"Good", Lex laughs. I turn around to see him smiling. I smile back and he leans down. His lips graze mine and I meet him half way. Our lips move in sync and I pull back.

"Well we better get going. If you're ever gonna get all that stuff you said you had to do done", I say. Lex nods in agreeance. I help him to the elevator. We walk to my car and get in. Lex looks at his arm and sighs. "Something wrong", I ask.

"I just feel so weak", Lex sighs.

"Lex... it wasn't your fault. But we found the guy and the police arrested him", I say.

"What?! Why didn't you tell me", Lex exclaims.

"The doctor said you didn't need any stress put on you", I reply.

"Course he did", Lex growls. I roll my eyes and I park my car when we get to the mansion. We get out and go inside.

"We cleaned up the mess", I say. We go inside and Lex immediately walks over to his champagne. "Lex... that might be a bad choice of a drink", I say. Lex looks at me and sets it down. He walks over to me and touches my cheek. He leans down and kisses me passionately. I was okay with the kiss until he slips his tongue in my mouth. I back away and Lex pulls me back.

"Jess you need to tell me if you love me", Lex says.

"What", I ask a little uneasy.

"Jess I love you. But I need to know if you love me back. You act like you do but when things get too heated you pull away. You've said you loved me but you never show me how", Lex says. I look into his eyes and sigh.

"Lex... I don't know. I have these heated feelings for you. But the last time I let a guy in my life they broke my heart", I say.

"Jess... I would never do that to you. I love you so much", Lex says. I quickly pull his lips against mine. I kiss him passionately.

"Lex... I love you so much", I smile. Lex smiles and kisses me again. Our lips move in sync. I pull away and say "you better get your rest." Lex nods and smiles. I smile back and leave. I head back to the farm. I get out and go inside. I see a little broken glass on the floor. I clean it up and look around for everyone. "Hello", I call. I feel two hands pull me back and someone puts a knife in front of my throat.

"Hello little girl", the guy whispers. He leads me out to the barn. I see Clark with Kryptonite next to him. And Martha and Jonathan with guns pointed to their heads. The guy pushes me on the ground and keeps a gun pointed at Clarks head. "Tell us what you know about Clark Kent", the guy yells.

"Don't do it", Clark groans.

"Shut up", the guy says kicking Clark in the side. The guy drags me over to Clark and throws me down next to Clark. I take the Kryptonite and throw it away when the guy's not paying attention. Clark sits up fully recovered. The guy turns around and Clark gets up. The guy shoots the gun at my arm but Clark protects me. Clark takes the guy down. Clark uses his heat vision to knock the glass out of their hands. Clark takes them down and we call the police. The paramedics bandage up my cut on my cheek. I see Clark run over to me so I nod to the paramedic as a thanks.

"You okay", Clark asks.

"It's just a scratch", I reply. Clark nods and hugs me. I walk back to the house after they leave. I take off my makeup and clean the dirt off my face. I switch into a tank top and yoga shorts. I get into bed and fall asleep.
