Venomous Love

Chapter 12

I wake up the next morning. I sit up and rub my eyes. I sigh, get up, and walk to my bathroom. I take off my clothes and shower. I get out and dry my hair. I pull my hair into a tight braid and do my makeup (whitish-gold eyeshadow, a bit of mascara, no eyeliner, and an amber glow lipstick.) I slip on a short sleeved red tank top, black skinny jeans, and red sparkly ballet slippers. I grab a black overcoat and slip it on. I grab my phone, keys, and purse. I walk downstairs and see Clark fixing breakfast. "I didn't know the man of steel cooked", I smile. Clark looks at me and rolls his eyes.

"I'm a surpriser", Clark smiles.

"Well I'm going to The Talon. See you later", I say to Clark.

"Don't you want to eat first", Clark asks.

"I'll just eat a blueberry muffin at The Talon", I reply.

"But I cooked all this", Clark says.

"And you get it all to yourself. Gotta go bye", I say quickly.

"Bye", Clark smiles. I leave and get in my car. I get to The Talon and unlock the door.

"Morning Lana. Lex", I say. "Lana can I talk to you", I ask her.

"Sure", Lana says. We go in the back and I set my stuff down while slipping off my coat.

"Why didn't you tell me Lex was gonna be here", I ask her in a whispery voice.

"I honestly didn't know. He had a spare key and came in. He said he has some payments to cover", Lana whispers back. "Sorry", Lana adds.

"It's fine", I reply. I tie my apron around my waist and leave the back. I start to take the chairs off the tables. Lex stops what he's doing and helps me. "Lex I don't need help. It's my job not yours", I snap. Lex rolls his eyes and stops. He touches my arm and I pull out of his grip.

"Look I'm sorry about yesterday. I just miss you being in my life. I'm willing to be friends with you. If you're willing to be friends with me", Lex says. I sigh and think about it for a second.

"Lex I would love to be friends with you", I smile. Lex gives me the warmest smile and most sincere smile. He pulls me in a tight hug and I hug back. He sits back down and I continue to open the store with Lana's help.

*After work*

I grab my stuff, slip on my coat, and leave. I see it starting to snow. I smile to myself and get in my car. I hear my phone go off as I'm sitting down. "Hello", I say into the phone.

"Hey its Oliver. Can you come by? I have a surprise for you", Oliver says a little bubbly.

"Uh... sure why not... I'm not busy", I reply. I hang up and start my car. I drive to Oliver's penthouse. Oliver walks up to the door with a smile on his face. "Hey you", I smile. Oliver kisses my lips passionately and pulls me all the way inside. "So what's my big surprise", I ask him.

"Wait here", Oliver says. I nod and he gets up and walks to another room. I walk out onto his balcony and look at the streets below. I turn around to see Oliver with one hand behind his back.
"Oliver what are you up to", I ask. He hands me a box that is skinny but long.

"Happy early birthday. I saw you looking at it then you looked at the price and put it back down", Oliver says as I open it. I see a diamond necklace in it with a sparkly heart attached to it. I take it out and look at the the back. The back of the heart says: I love you. Forever and Always- OQ.

"Oliver my birthday isn't until tomorrow", I smile.

"I know but I couldn't wait", Oliver smiles. I pull him in a tight hug and he hugs back. I kiss him passionately and pull away.

"Thank you so much. It's extra special coming from you. I love it", I exclaim. I close the gap between us and our lips move in sync. I pull away and set the diamond necklace back in its box and close it.

"I have one more thing for you", Oliver says.

"More", I giggle. Oliver hands me a book. I look over it and on the front it says: Our Love is Timeless. I open it and there's several pictures of me and him plus all our friends and family together. When I get to the end there's tears in my eyes. "You made this", I smile.

"I did. But why are you crying", Oliver asks wiping away my tears.

"They're happy tears", I smile. "I love you so much", I say.

"I love you to", Oliver smiles back. He leans down and gives me the most passionate sweet kiss I've ever had from any guy. I kiss back just as passionate. I pull away and close the scrapbook. I set it next to my purse. I slip off my jacket and set it down. "So I want to treat you to a birthday dinner. Tonight", Oliver smiles.

"Well do you mind if I first take a shower and change clothes", I ask.

"Of course not", Oliver smiles. I nod and take my bag of stuff I always keeps with me. I walk to his bathroom, close the door behind me, and lock it. I take a quick shower and get out. I wrap a towel around myself and get out my curler. I dry my hair and turn it into sexy curls. I do my favorite makeup (silver and pink eyeshadow, black mascara, black eyeliner into a winged eyeliner look, and red lipstick with a tan glossy lipgloss on top.) I slip on a short black sequin dress and black high heel boots with buckles. I leave my bathroom and Oliver is dressed in a black tux. "You look... amazing absolutely gorgeous", Oliver says.

"And you look like the handsome guy that I'm in love with", I say giving him a sincere smile. Oliver leans down and gives me a kiss on my cheek. I open my box that holds my diamond necklace. I take it out and look at Oliver. He takes it from me and I move my hair. He clips it on my neck and I let go of my hair. I turn to him and he looks at it.

"It looks amazing on you",Oliver says. I smile and slip on my black overcoat to keep me warm. I grab my purse and scrapbook. When we go outside and open my car door and put my scrapbook in it and lock my car. We walk over to his limo (with a driver) and he opens the door for me. I get in and so does he.

*At the restaurant*

We go inside and it's the most fancy restaurant I've ever been to. "This is amazing", I say.

"It's the best restaurant in Metropolis", Oliver replies.

*After dinner*

We leave my hand in his. He drives me back to his penthouse. I get out and walk over to my car. "Tonight was amazing. Thank you", I say.

"Only the best for my girl", Oliver smiles. He leans down and kisses me passionately. I get back in my car and drive back to the farm. I walk inside and Clark looks at me.

"Wow you look beautiful. What was the occasion", Clark asks.

"Oliver took me out for my birthday", I reply.

"Really? Did you have fun", Clark asks.

"The most fun I've had with a guy in a long time. I think I've made a decision. I love Oliver and only Oliver. He's given me something Lex could never give me... The truth. And he shows me how much he loves me. But also tells me through words. Lex could never do that", I say. "He made me a scrapbook with pictures of me and him. Plus pictures of my friends and family together. Its beautiful", I say. I open it and Clark looks through it.

"Wow Oliver must really love you", Clark says.

"I've never felt so happy in my entire life. Oliver is a very special person to me", I smile. I take my scrapbook and head upstairs. "Goodnight", I say.

"Night", Clark replies. I hang my purse up and take my phone and keys out. I set them on my dresser. I take off my diamond necklace and put it back in its box. I slip it in one of my drawers to keep it safe. I take off my makeup and switch into a tank top and yoga shorts. I get into bed happily and fall asleep.
