A/N: Yeah, this one has taken me a bit longer, school got in my way ;) I know I've been rushing things a bit in the last chapter( and I will be rushing things in this one as well), but I needed to get to the point finally, and as I promised, it won't be that easy and there will be complications (just not yet XD). Anyway, here we go.

Oh, btw: I'll be leaving for France tomorrow, thought I'd upload this before my leaving. I'll be back by next sunday, and yeah, I'll be writing the next chapter while I'm away so expect the new one done when I'm back :D

I'd never wanna see

You unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

Chapter 4

First Date („I like what I saw")

Kim woke up due to the sudden lack of warmth next to her. When she opened her eyes she saw that Shego was no longer there, the clothes she had given her were laying folded on the edge of the bed, a small note on top of them. Kim reached out and read it.

Good morning, Princess.

Hope you slept well? Sorry that I couldn't stay to ask you in person, but I have an important business to take care of. Don't worry, I'm not planning to steal anything. I saved my number into your cell, call me if you want to, okay?

Love,

Shego

Kim smiled widely, grabbed her cell and scrolled through the directory, discovering that Shego really did save her number into it.

I'm gonna call her later... after school.

A cold shiver ran down Kim's back.

Oh damn.... I totally forgot about the test!

She jumped up, gathered her clothes and rushed to the bathroom, hoping that she would be done quickly so that she would have some time to revise the stuff for the test.

–

School bell rang for break, all the students hurried out of the classrooms. Kim and Monique (who was studying at the same college, but another subject) took their time.

"So... she spent the night at yours, and left before you woke up?", Monique asked, leaning against a wall.

Kim nodded.

"I don't know what to think... I mean, she left a note saying she had some business to take care of, but..."

"Don't worry girlfriend. I'm sure it's okay. The note shows that she does care after all, right?"

"Hope you're right, Mon..."

"Hey, didn't you say she left her number for you to call her? Why don't you just ask her, then?"

"I, uh... well, I thought if she has that business she has to take care of, I might be interrupting, and I wanted to call her after school..."

"Hmm okay." Monique seemed to be thinking about it. „At least now I know why Shego was the only one who's picture you had in your locker at high school."

"Monique!"

"What? It's true. It was not Drakken, not that monkey guy, not the golfer, no, it was her. Well, I have to admit, she does look good, despite the green skin..."

"Hm....", Kim sighed and tought of the photo.

She's as sexy as all get-out... Green skin or whatever...

Kim couldn't wait for today's lectures to end.

–

Kim's hand's were shaking as she took her cell phone and dialed Shego's number. She didn't press the green button though. Not yet.

"This is so weird, Mon... I've never called her before, I don't even know what to say.", she said, slowly losing her courage. Monique smirked.

"Of course you know what you're gonna say, you're gonna ask her out, GF! Now go ahead and call her already.", she said chuckling.

"Oh sure, as if it was that easy...."

"It IS that easy." To which Kim could only sigh. She breathed in deeply and pushed the button. It rang only two times before Shego answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hi Shego, Kim here."

"Hey there, Princess. Thought you'd never call..."

"Yeah, I've had cheer practice after school, sorry."

"Don't be."

"Shego, I..."

Silence. Kim searched for the right words, Shego gave her the time she needed.

"I wanted to ask you if... well, if you wanna go out tonight? I mean, for dinner or something...", Kim bit her lower lip, feeling like a fool, it sounded so weird to her own ears she didn't want to imagine what Shego thought right now. Her doubts were though blown away by Shego answering without hesitation:

"Yeah sure. I'll be at yours around 8 to pick you up, okay?"

"Um... yes. 8. All right, I'll be ready."

"It'S a date, then. See you, Princess."

"See you..." They hang up. Kim sighed again.

"Aaaaand?", Monique asked curiously.

"I have a D-A-T-E!", Kim said happily, flinging herself at Monique who lifted and eyebrow, but was happy for her best friend.

–

18:59.

OMG just WHAT am I gonna wear... Being out with Shego it's gotta be something special... but it will look like nothing compared to her anyway...

Kim smiled. She did consider Shego more beautiful than anything. Going out with her, she would feel like a small wallflower...

Hm... well, how about that black dress I only wore once before? It did look nice, though last time I picked it, it was for a date with Ron – oh yeah. Moodulator issues.

She chuckled slightly at the thought of this event.

This time, it will be right. She likes black, aynway. So it's decided.

Smiling contently, she put it on and positioned herself in front of te mirror, checking if it still fit. And hell yeah, it did. Kim's smile grew bigger and she turned to put on some make-up.

–

19:53.

Kim was walking up and down in her room, nervously biting her lower lip. She really couldn't wait for Shego to arrive.

–

19:59.

The doorbell rang. Kim jumped up from her bed - which she hat just sat down onto –, grabbed her purse and hurried down to open the door.

"Hi Princess.", Shego greeted her when Kim opened the door.

"Hi She-", Kim's jaw dropped as she saw Shego, wearing a knee-length v-neck black dress with a green belt around her waist that brought out her curves even more than her usual outfit did.

"You okay, Kim?"

"Wow... you just look gorgeous."

"I felt like dressing up for you. And, seeing how gorgeous you look yourself, it was definitely worth it." Shego smiled and held out her hand for Kim. Kim retunred the smile and took Shego's hand into her own, not feeling that much wallflower-like anymore after Shego's honest compliment.

"Let's get going then. I'm starving.", Shego said and winked at Kim. Kim's smile grew into a big grin when she was lead to the car by Shego.

The car was – of course- green and black, a pretty, expensive-looking sports car. Kim loved it even before getting into it, and once she was in she loved it even more.

"Whoa Shego, if it drives as awesome as it looks-"

"It does. After I fixed it, that is.", Shego said and grinned, shifting into first gear and starting the engine. It howled loudly, then turned to purring like a big tiger.

"Wow!", Kim exclaimed.

"You like it?"

"Hell yeah!"

Shego grinned again. They drove pretty much in silence, Shego's eyes were fixed on the road while Kim went from admiring the car to admiring Shego's profile from her seat, simply run out of words.

"You're so beautiful...", the redhead whispered softly.

"What was that, Princess?", Shego asked, not having understood what Kim had mumbled. Kim blushed slightly and was glad Shego didn't notice.

"I um... I said you were beautiful."

Shego took her eyes off the road and looked at Kim for a short moment.

"Thank you."

"No big. It's true." Kim saw Shego smile as the black haired woman reached out to take Kim's hand in her own, squeezing it slightly.

"So, where are we going?", Kim asked after she had stared at their hands for a few moments.

"I picked a nice restaurant for us, you'll like it. And no, they don't serve mexican food.", Shego answered and winked.

"As if I was ever so fond of mexican food, anyway." , Kim said smiling.

"Well, I just figured because you spent quite a lot of time at Bueno Nacho, right?"

"Yeah, but... that was only because Ron liked it so much, I always only took the salad... never the Nacos or anything."

"I see."

No mocking? God, Shego... you DID change a lot, didn't you. Not that I'm complaining...

No, Kim wasn't complaining. Actually, she was enjoying their time now already, and it could only get better, right?

–

They arrived after about half an hour, Shego holding out her arm for Kim who gladly took it after getting out of the car. Arm in arm like this they entered the restaurant. It was quite full, slow, soft music played in the background, some people were dancing. Shego lead them to a table with two chairs, a candle on it and a beautiful flower.

Candle-light dinner with Shego... SO the drama.

They sat down face to face with each other, and the waiter soon brought them the menu. They chose their meals after a while and were left with a little time before the food would be ready. At first, they only stared at each other, kind of lost in thought. Then Kim spoke up.

"It's quite beautiful."

"Isn't it? I hoped you'd like it.", Shego replied and smiled a little. They both seemed to have a continuous grin attached to their faces which simply wouldn't wear off ever since Shego had arrived at Kim's. Not that any of them minded, anyway.

Shego took a sip of her (non-alcoholic) drink and continued to watch Kim who did just the same. Then Kim reached out and put her hand on top of Shego's, looking as if she'd want to say something, but the words never came.

"Here you go, ladies.", the waiter said, carrying the plates with their food on them. Kim and Shego sat back to make some room for the plates.

"Thank you", they said in a chorus. He bowed slightly and stepped back.

"Now this... smells awesome.", Kim commented, inhaling the smell of her food. Shego laughed softly and picked up her fork.

"Enjoy your meal, Princess."

–

The eating was done rather quickly, without much talk between them. It wasn't needed after all. Kim had held out her fork for Shego to try some of her food, and Shego had done the same, their eyes never leaving each other in the process.

Right now – their gazes were still kinda stuck on each other – Shego was touching Kim's leg with her ankle, slowly moving up and down. Thanks to the long tablecloth, no one saw what was going on underneath the table. Both women enjoyed every bit of this ever so soft contact, and this time it was Shego who reached out to take Kim's hand.

"We should have done this way earlier.", she said.

"So true. Who might have thought that going out with you would be this.... awesome.", Kim agreed.

"You know, not many were given the privilege to go out with me, so consider yourself a happy person."

"I feel honored.", Kim said and smiled again.

"You damn well should, Princess.", Shego teased and ran her fingertips over the back of Kim's hand. Kim had shivers down her spine and was glad about the dim light, otherwise everyone would have noticed her slightly flushed cheeks. She let her eyes wander across the room a bit.

"You have a nice taste, you know.", she commented, then closed her eyes to listen to the music.

"Up for a dance, Princess?", Shego asked and was on her feet before Kim could answer. She wouldn't have said no anyway so she simply followed Shego onto the dancefloor.

A little shy at first, she didn't dare to look into the raven haired woman's eyes when she wrapped her arms around Shego's neck. Shego aprroved of their position silently by wrapping her own arms around Kim's waist and pulling her closer. They started to move with the music. It was then that Kim dared to raise her head and meet Shego's gaze. Emerald met olive and they got totally lost in the moment. This was the first time Kim ever saw something like affection in Shego's eyes, love even. Sure, they had been close last night, but this was... different. It wasn't so sudden, so unexpected, just like their first contact had been. The Ron factor actually had been pushing things, after all. Kim made a small mental note to thank Ron for pushing them together like that. Otherwise this situation probably would have stayed nothing but a dream.

Yes, they had both dreamed about something like this. Never would have admitted it in front of each other, though.

The music turned into a slower rhythm. Kim felt totally relaxed by now and was enjoying every second. She broke their eye contact to rest her head against Shego's shoulder. If she had looked up now, she would have seen the otherwise cool and tough plasma-wielding villainess blush deeply. Being slightly taller, Shego rested her chin on top of Kim's head and tightened her arms around the redhead's body. Kim's breath tickled her exposed collarbone and gave her shivers down her spine. Miss always-independent Shego didn't remember ever feeling as flattered as this before. It went straight against her usual way of behaving, being nice and cuddly and all, but right now, with Kim, she liked this so much more than mocking, so much more than being the evil sidekick all the sime. Sure, it had been fun mocking Dr. D. She believed that he was a genius, but too much of a chump to ever make any of his "brilliant" plans work.

Shego shook her head slightly, wanting to focus more on the present than the past. She lifted one hand and put it onto Kim's shoulder, pushing her ever so slightly closer to herself. Kim didn't seem to mind at all, actually she appreciated it and rubbed her cheek softly against Shego's neck.

They moved across the dancefloor slowly, turning, resting, turning again, moving fowards, moving to the side, moving backwards a little. In the middle of the crowd no one noticed when they stopped moving, not even Kim and Shego herself. They just stared at each other, they faces moving closer and closer until -

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, may we ask you for an applause for our awesome life-band!", a speaker announced, making clear that the event was ending and people were leaving. Kim and Shego kind of jerked apart, being caught by surprise.

"I guess we'd better be going, huh.", Shego wondered.

"Yeah.", Kim agreed, slipping her arms off Shego, but still holding her hand. Shego entwined their fingers and lead them back to the table where they picked up their belongings, paid the waiter and went outside to the car. Shego drove them back home, both being silent all the way until they reached the Possible's driveway. Shego turned off the engine and got out of the car, bringing Kim to the door.

"Thank you for the great evening, Shego. I had a very good time.", Kim said.

"Welcome, Princess. I had a good time, too.", Shego replied.

"So... would you want to go out with me again?", Kim asked, her voice trembling slightly with insecurity.

"Anytime, Kim. Anytime...", Shego answered softly and took Kim's face in both her hands to finish what had started on the dancefloor. She gently claimed Kim's lips with her own, feeling Kim sigh softly against her mouth as the redhead's hands found their way to the backside of Shego's neck, pulling her closer and deepening the contact.

"I love you, Shego.", Kim whispered when they broke apart.

"I love you, too, Kim.", Shego said with low voice. Kim smiled and let her hands slowly and gently wander up and down Shego's sides.

"And by the way... I liked what I saw last night...", Kim added, her smile becoming rather seductive, then turning into a smirk when she saw Shego blush.

"You just look too cute when you blush, you knew that?"

"Oh stop it." Shego leaned in to kiss Kim again.

"Call me tomorrow?"

"For sure. Right after school."

"Goodnight, Kim."

"Goodnight, Shego."
