Chapter Two:

Still a flashback…

As their relationship grew and their bond got stronger so did their attraction to each other. Kim had noticed Tommy eagerness in their past few makeout sessions but she knew that Tommy was too much of a gentleman to make the first move. Kim knew that if she wanted to take their relationship to that next step, she would have to be the one to start the ball rolling in that direction. Tommy would always respect her and never push anything on her no matter how much he wanted her. And he certainly did want her. Every time they were alone together they were getting bolder. Their kisses were deeper and more passionate, always leaving Kim breathless, and hands had started to roam to new places. The decision to "go all the way" was a decision she came to slowly and thoughtfully. Being a Ranger had definitely made her mature faster than most girls her age and she thought the same for the rest of the rangers. Hardships and rough times made people grow up fast and being a ranger was no different. With her leaving tomorrow morning Kim felt that if she left without spending this special night with Tommy she would regret it for who knows how long. Kim had expected to be painfully shy and embarrassed when the time finally came where she felt that she was ready to fully give herself to someone. But, as she stood here with Tommy who was looking at her with that adorable stunned expression on his face, she felt relaxed and calm. Sure she was nervous but it was more of an excided nervous than anything else.

Kim pressed a kiss to Tommy's lips and pulled back enough to look him in the eye. "Stay with me tonight?" She let her fingers trail down his chest to make sure he gets the meaning of her words.

Tommy took a second to respond. He looked up at her and his head tilted a bit to the side as he answered. "You're sure…?"

Kim answered with a nod as her eyes fluttered closed. She leant down, once again covering his lips with her own. Tommy returned her kiss but soon pulled back. "Kim, trust me I want to but we're not really…"he paused, searching for the right words. "..prepared? We don't have any protection or anything." Kim nodded. "Well I know we're both clean and I've been on the pill since I was 14 years old."

Kim laughed at Tommys confused expression and quickly explained. "I had a problem with horrendous cramps when I was younger. I couldn't get out of bed for days." She shrugged nonchalantly. "My doctor put me on the pill and the pain went away."

"Oh…well in that case…" Tommy wasted no time wrapping his arms around her tiny waist, pulling her into his lap where he sat on her bed. The kisses started off soft and slow, lazy tongues gliding against each others. The couple took things slow, first hands then lips discovering each other whenever and wherever a new item of clothing with tossed to the floor. When Tommy finally entered her Kim was almost crying with happiness. Tommy was very gentle and gave her time to adjust but soon they found a rhythm that took their breath away. Tommy reached up, twining their fingers together above her head as their bodies rushed to completion. Kim cried out first, her hips arching into his as she came, light exploding behind her eyes as she clung to him. Tommy's release followed soon after, his body shuddering with pleasure as he cried out her name. When they finally retuned to earth Tommy moved over to lie besides her, pulling her tight against his chest. He looked down at her smiling face before pressing a soft kiss to her forehead.

His voice was quiet and full of emotion when he finally spoke. "I love you."

Kim tilted her head up to meet his eyes. "I love you too. I have for awhile now." Her hand came up to cup his cheek as she smiled. "I should have told you sooner."

"Same here." Tommy said. He reached down, pulling the covers up and over them as Kim laid her head on his chest. Both were asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.

End Flaskback

Back in the gym:

Tommy stood up then reached out a hand to help Kimberly to her feet. Kims fingers wrapped around his as he effortlessly pulled her up off the mat. Tommy made sure he held onto her hand even though she had made it to her feet. After all this time apart he felt the need to be touching her almost constantly. Kim definitely didn't mind and apparently felt the same way as she gave his fingers a squeeze. Tommy reached down with his free hand and tugged the strap of his bag back onto his shoulder. He looked down at the petite girl standing next to him.

"Where too?"

"My house, I guess."

Kim motioned to the exit as they started off towards the large glass doors. They stopped to scoop up Kim's gym bag that sat near the gym entrance. Once they made it to the parking lot Kim noticed that she only saw her little blue jeep in the empty parking lot. She stopped and looked up at her boyfriend.

"I forgot to ask how you got here. Did someone drop you off from the airport?"

"Nope, my way was a bit faster." He raised his left hand and motioned to his communicator.

Kim's finely sculpted brows rose in surprise. "Zordon let you teleport here?"

Tommy chuckled with a nod. "He all about threw me out of the command center. I guess I was getting a bit moody with out you around."

Kim let out a giggle making Tommy think shes the cutest damn thing he had ever seen. As Tommy looked down at her he noticed something that struck him a bit odd. He took her left hand and held it up, his fingers touching the pink sweat band that she had on her left wrist. "How come you only wear one sweat band?" He added with a grin, "Did you lose the other one?"

Kim pushed him playfully. "Hey, you're the forgetful one, remember?" Her smile faded a bit as she shrugged. "I only wear the one 'cause its still feels too weird not having anything on my left wrist. I never took my communicator off when I was a ranger. When I'm not training I always wear a watch or a bracelet."

Tommy offered a sad smile and nodded. "I felt the same way when I first lost my powers." He was still trying to adjust not having her next to him in battle. Sure, the pink ranger was there but it wasn't the same. Not knowing the right things to say he squeezed her hand before quickly changing the subject. "So, how far is it to your place?"

Kim dug through her bag and fished out her keys. Both she and Tommy tossed their bags into her backseat as they climbed in. Kim started her car, pulling out of the parking spot pulled onto the two lane highway. "Only a few miles. It makes it easy when I have to be here by 5:30."

Tommy knew that like him, Kim was never a morning person. He sympathized. "5:30? Ouch."

"Yeah. The schedule is crazy but I think I'm finally getting used to it."

A few miles later Kim pulled into her apartment complex. Since most of the gymnasts training with coach Schmitz were in heavy training, their grueling schedules did not allow time for even a part time job. Most of the gymnasts lived in the same apartment complex where they received help paying the rent and other necessities.

Kim unlocked her front door and ushered Tommy in. Tommy moved through the door and gave the place a once over. The apartment was a bit small, but not uncomfortably so, and very stylish. Much like the girl he was head over heels in love with who stood a few feet away from him.

Kim sat her bag down by the short hallway that Tommy figured led to her bedroom and moved over to the kitchen. "You want anything to drink?" She asked as she pulled the fridge open.

"Water if you have it?" Tommy sat his bag down besides Kim's and joined her in her kitchen. He leaned on the counter getting a nice view of her cute behind as she reached for the two bottled waters. She stood, tossing one to him. "Thanks." He said as he caught it.

Kim grabbed the cordless phone off the wall and crossed over to the couch. She waved for him to join her. "You like pepperoni, right?" Tommy nodded an affirmative as he sat next to her on the comfy couch.

After the pizza was ordered, the two chatted about friends and family, filling the other in whatever had been left out of their weekly letters and phone calls. The pizza came and was quickly devoured. The small talk eventually led to some steamy kisses and before Kim knew it, her top had somehow disappeared and Tommy was leading her back to her bedroom. She followed eagerly, intent on showing him just how much she had missed him.
