Between Two Lungs: Chapter 2

Shego sat bolt upright in bed, a cold sweat covered her body. She turned to see the sleeping red-head next to her in bed and smiled. She really didn't deserve Kim, but Kim chose her and she wasn't about to complain about that. They weren't very far apart in age, Shego was only 22 and Kim 21, of course Kim was astonished to know that Shego wasn't all that much older than she was, because she acted so much more mature. Kim later found out that the comet had sped up her growth, but stopped at a certain point, kind of making her immortal but not invincible.

She sighed and got out of bed, pulling on one of her robes she walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs to the kitchen where her coffee had already been made. She poured herself a cup and walked outside onto the patio to watch the sunrise.

"Stella you really got it bad…what makes you so sure that this woman can save you?" Her inner voice asked.

"Because she can see through me, she knows that I hold things back, like she does, I don't know, she just gets me." She replied.

"Oh god I am going crazy, I am talking to myself." Shego said out loud.

"Then why don't you talk to me instead?" A voice said from the door way.

"Come sit down then." Shego replied.

Kim removed herself from the doorway and sat in the chair next to Shego.

"Sleep well Princess?" Shego asked finishing her coffee.

"As well as I could, since someone wouldn't let me sleep until she gave me at least 15 back to back orgasms." Kim replied running her fingers through her mane of red hair.

"I wanted to make sure it was worth your while, since I had been gone for two weeks." Shego said.

"Oh it was." Kim said grinning.

"Good I'm glad." Shego said.

A comfortable silence passed between the two women.

"So, is there any particular reason that you got out of bed to watch the sunrise?" Kim asked.

"I had a nightmare." Shego replied simply, but did not elaborate.

Kim knew that there were still some things that Shego wasn't telling her yet, and she understood that when Shego was ready she would tell her anything she wanted to know.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Kim asked hopefully.

"Nope." Shego replied simply.

Kim sighed and looked out at the horizon.

"Something bothering you Princess?" Shego asked.

"No, not really. I just want to know more about you. I mean I thought I knew you, but I know that I am barely scratching the surface with you. And I know you said to give you some time because you aren't ready to talk about it, but you know talking about it can sometimes help." Kim replied.

Shego smiled.

"I promise Princess, when I am ready I will make it worth your while. You won't be disappointed." Shego said.

"I know I won't." Kim said standing.

"How bout I make us some breakfast?" Kim asked.

"Sure, I'd like that." Shego said.

Kim pressed her lips against Shego's in a brief kiss. Then she walked back inside to begin making breakfast. 20 minutes later both women were sitting at the kitchen table eating the eggs, sausage and toast Kim had prepared.

"Wow this is amazing cupcake!" Shego exclaimed as she took a bite of her eggs.

"Yes, well I have learned a few tricks from my mom over the years. It gets boring cooking for yourself." Kim said taking a sip of her orange juice.

"Princess, move in with me." Shego said abruptly.

Kim choked on her orange juice and Shego bolted across the table and thumped her on the back.

"I'm…sorry…Shego, what was that?" Kim asked looking wide eyed at her girlfriend.

Shego got down on one knee and looked into Kim's emerald eyes.

"Move in with me." She replied.

"With pleasure." Kim said pressing her lips to Shego's.

After a few minutes they pulled apart, and Shego's eyes were wet with tears.

"You don't know how happy you just made me. I have been alone for far too long." Shego said her voice thick with emotion.

Kim smiled and kissed Shego again.

"You should be getting ready for work." Kim said breaking apart from Shego's hungry lips.

"So should you, but I can see that neither of us really want to move." Shego said smiling.

"Oh I want to move, but it will be in the direction of the bed." Kim said in a low voice.

"Say no more Cupcake!" Shego exclaimed scooping her lover up in her arms and bolting up the stairs into the bedroom.
