Bartender- Part 3
Rating: M
Pairing: Mo/Rach, Slight KiGo
A/N: Sorry it's been so long. I really needed a break from all my stories. I'm gonna try and get a few chapters out of all the ones that aren't completed.
Don't own the show. Pointless to sue, don't got money.
Enjoy. ^^
"You need to start trusting her."
"And you need to shut up." Rachel snapped, glaring daggers at Shego, "You know as well as I that it's hard for me."
"Yes, but Monique is starting to wonder." Shego stated, sitting down on a bar stool, "And we both know she wouldn't force you to talk."
Rachel groaned as she dropped her head, banging it on the bar table. She ignored the throb that instantly sprang to life and went back to cleaning the counter. Shego had decided to pay her a visit, for the first time in nearly two months. They never hung out that much, rather liking the routine of waiting a few months and then just unloading it all at once.
It had been two months since her and Monique first met, and a month and a half since Monique had walked in on her post nightmare rage.
Shego had a good point. She really did want to trust Monique, but her past wouldn't let her, the last person she trusted ended up hurting her, causing Shego to beat the crap out of them. She didn't want Monique to get hurt because she couldn't trust someone to not turn her back on her. But then again, Monique had promised not to do that.
"Rachel?"
The bar owner glanced up and sighed when she saw Monique standing next to Shego, a questioning look in her eyes.
"Yeah Mo?"
"Why is your forehead red?"
It was at that precise moment, that Shego burst out laughing, grabbing her sides and falling off the stool she was sitting on. Rachel glared at the laughing woman as Monique looked at her strangely. She had never seen the pale woman laugh so heartily, Kim had said that Shego rarely laughed and that it was indeed a sight to be seen.
Rachel growled deeply, "Get out Sai."
"Oh, it would be my pleasure Rach." Shego said, grinning from ear to ear as she left the bar.
Rachel sighed as she dropped her head down again, "I'm gonna kill her."
"No you're not."
"Doesn't mean I don't want to."
Monique chuckled and took the seat Shego previously held. The silence that followed was soothing. They both just sat there, relaxed in the knowledge that nothing was wrong. It was in that time that Rachel came to a decision; she stood up and gestured towards the door that led to her room.
"I need to tell you something." She murmured, as they walked up the stairs, "It's nothing bad... Or well... I uh."
Monique smiled slightly, "Don't worry Rach."
The older woman nodded, and once they were seated on her bed, began her tale.

Several years back
Rachel sat at the dinner table with her family and boyfriend. Her mother had insisted that he come over for dinner, and Rachel was never one to disobey her mother. So there they sat, eating their food and chatting quietly. Her boyfriend, Damion had asked them if he could take her out for a movie and dessert afterwords. Her parent had been ok with it, but if they had known what he was going to do after that, they would have said no.
So after dinner, found them in her car; as she had gone to pick him up, he held up to his promise. He took her to a movie, and got her some ice cream from her favorite dessert shop. Then, well...
His parents were out of town, so he took them both back to his place. They had been together for nearly a year. He had dubbed it time for them to have sex, as she had requested that they wait.
Even then, she didn't want it, and he had forced her against the door, ripping her clothes off. He had forced himself on her twice, before he hand finally been too tired to continue. Once in the living room, on the floor, and once in his bed, the second time around was twice as hard and rough.
~o0o~
"Once he was asleep, I silently put some of his clothes on and drove to Sai's house." Rachel murmured, absentmindedly stroking over the scar on her neck that she had gotten that night.
"Why Shego's?" Monique asked, keeping her anger in check. She had finally come to terms with her growing feelings for the bar owner, and she wanted to hurt the guy that had done this.
"I didn't want to go home. Her mother had drove me to another house, where Sai had been staying at the time. When they both found out, all hell broke loose. literally. Sai took me home, made me pack a bag, and stay with her. I was grateful, it helped me get over it. Then, the next time she saw him at school, she nearly killed him. Both her mom and my parents filed charges on him."
"Why Shego's mom?"
"Considers me family. Like another Daughter." Rachel answered, standing up. She kept her eyes adverted, "So, now you know..."
"So now I know." Monique murmured her agreement. She stood up and walked over to the brunette, "And now I like you more."
Rachel looked up in shock, "I-I... I thought... you..."
"It took a lot for you to say that. I now have a better understanding of you, and I know it wasn't easy to put your trust in me. I thank you for that."
Rachel smiled slightly, "You're not gonna run now? Knowing that building trust between us is gonna be twice as hard?"
"Took just as much for Shego and I. I think I can manage."
The bar owner laughed and pulled the teenager into her arms, holding her close. It was great knowing that she could trust someone, even if there was still more to work on. Now, the next order of business, was wondering what Monique thought about scars...
A/N: So... Finally update it... Sorry it took me so long to. I couldn't write for the longest time. I hope people are still reading this.
Hope you enjoyed. ^^
