Chapter 4: A Night In

Beep Beep be Beep

"Hello?" A groggy Kim Possible groaned into her Kimmunicator.

"Mornin' sunshine, how you feelin'?" Shego asked.

"Huh? Shego is that you? What time is it?"

"Yes, Kimmie, it's me and it's about ten o'clock in the morning. Lemme guess, you got sick last night."

"No, but at this point I wish I had…my head is throbbing."

"I guess you were drunker than you thought you were." Shego said in an 'I told you so' tone.

"I don't even know how I got this way. I didn't think I drank that much last night."

"Well martinis have a way of sneaking up on you. They go down to easily."

"I'm never drinking again."

Shego laughed, "We all say that, but we never mean it."

"I need some water and aspirin…lots of aspirin." Kim groaned as she rolled on her back hoping that would stop the room from spinning.

"Now don't overdo it Kimmie, two pills, some toast, a big bottle of water, and another few hours of sleep and you'll feel a lot better.

"Ugh, I don't think I can move."

"Is Ron around, if so, put him on the phone."

"I don't know, hold on." Kim said and then she called for her friend. "Ouch, that hurt." She whined and put her free hand on her head.

A few moments later, the blond poked his head in her room, "You called KP?"

"Here." That was all the redhead managed to say and she handed the Kimmunicator to her friend. The less she talked, the less her head hurt.

"Hello?" Ron said, not knowing to who was on the line.

"Hey, how'd things go last night?" Shego asked.

"Oh, well judging by the way she looks now, a lot better than this morning?" Ron answered when he recognizing the green-hued woman's voice.

"What's that mean?"

"When we got home, I made sure both girls drank a bottle of water, I gave them something to eat, and then I gave them two aspirin and put them to bed. KP was passed out within minutes. I checked on her every hour, and she was fine, but now she looks like she's hurting."

"How's Monique?"

"Well, she's a different story all together...I was up all night making sure her hair was pulled back and pumping her full of liquids so she wouldn't dehydrate on me."

"Lovely." Shego said sarcastically. "Can you handle little miss 'I'm not drunk' on your own, or do you need me to come over."

"No, I've got it; Monique has finally gone to sleep, so I'm cool."

"Okay, thanks for looking after her."

"Hey she's my best friend; I have to take care of her."

"Well I told her to get some water and food in her, but she says she can't move so could you get her some toast or something and more aspirin, oh and a cold compress?"

"I'm on it. Do you want to talk to her again before you go?"

"Yeah, put her on."

"Hey." Kim said when Ron handed her the Kimmunicator again.

"Ron is going to get you something to eat and drink, more aspirin and then I want you to get some more sleep. Do you think you'll be up for coming over tonight or do you want to bag it?"

"No!" Kim accidentally yelled. "Ow." She whimpered. "No, I'll be fine, I just need more sleep."

"You sure? I can come to you if you want."

"No, I wanna go over to your place."

"Alright, I'll pick you up about five; that way you don't have to drive."

"Ok, I'm going back to bed now." The redhead sighed.

"Eat something first, Kimmie!" Shego ordered.

"Yeah, I will." The hero said and then she hung up.

"Man that girl is going to be a hand full." Shego said with a chuckle.

"Well, well, look who's returned to the land of the living." Ron teased his best friend when she emerged from her room. He had been lounging on the couch, not really watching the TV; he was wiped from his night of playing Dr. Ron.

"Yeah." Kim said as she went into the kitchen for a bottle of water. When she returned to the living room, she sat down on the loveseat to talk with the blond.

"How you feelin' KP?"

"Much better, my headache is finally gone. Thanks for looking after me."

"Hey, you know I've got your back, but I wasn't the only one that was concerned about you. Shego told me to call her if you got sick and she said that she would come over and look after you. Thankfully, I didn't have to call her, but I thought it was really cool of her to do that. I never would have expected that from her."

"Yeah, she's great, isn't she?" Kim said with a smile. It made her feel good that she had so many people that cared about her.

"Yeah, she's definitely showing another side of herself. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, but Shego's cooking for me tonight and she'll be here to pick me up in less than two hours. I don't want to spoil my dinner."

"Look, I'll get you a few crackers to snack on before you get ready, that way you aren't starving by the time you get to Shego's."

"Thanks, Ron, you're the best."

"I am what I is!"

Kim chuckled at her friend, "Hey where's Mo?"

"Well, she's still passed out. She was up all night throwing up." Ron said as he went to get the redhead's crackers.

"Ouch, well she did have a little more to drink than I did. I'm glad I didn't have that last martini. Is she ok?"

"Yeah, Rufus is in with her now. He wanted me to get a little rest since I was up all night with her." The blond said returning with her snack.

"That's good. Have you talked to Felix?

"Yeah, Zita's hung-over but fine. She's going to go back to Middleton with him tonight, once she can move without getting dizzy."

"Man, we really did a number on ourselves last night."

"Yeah you did." Ron said, agreeing with his friend's statement.

"It was fun though," Kim said, "well, until that last part where my head was throbbing."

"You want anything to drink, Pumpkin?" Shego asked as the two women entered her condo.

"Anything but alcohol." Kim said to clarify that she did not want any alcohol. She was staying away from it for a while.

"What? I hear the best cure for a hangover is more alcohol." Shego teased.

"No, thank you! Water or juice will do."

"Ok, I was just pokin' at ya. Help yourself to anything you want in the fridge and I'll go put your coat in the closet."

When the older woman returned to the kitchen, she found the redhead standing near the oven. "It smells great in here!" Kim said.

"I did a little detective work and found out that a certain little redhead's favorite meal is shepherd's pie, no cheese, and cake for desert. You like?"

"Like it? I love it!" Kim cheered and excitedly gave the older woman a hug. "Oh, I moved too fast." She swayed and put a hand on her head and held onto Shego with the other. "I think I'm still a little lightheaded from earlier?"

"What have you had to eat today?"

"Toast and crackers."

"Well that explains why you're light headed. Dinner won't be ready for twenty minutes or so; you want a little appetizer?

"Please and thank you." Kim said with a wide smile.

"Ugh, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but you look absolutely adorable when you say that."

"What, you didn't always find it adorable when I said that?" Kim teased, knowing full well that the answer to that question was 'no.'

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"No, I was just kidding…but as long as you find me adorable now, that's all that matters."

"Well, that's good, cuz I do." The ebony-haired woman said with a smile and gave the redhead a quick peck on the lips. "I stopped by the bakery a few blocks from here and picked up a loaf of their Italian bread; best bread in the city. How about I butter you up a couple of pieces while we wait?"

"Sure."

"Will you do me a favor; can you get me the butter out of the fridge?" Shego asked breaking their embrace.

"Yeah. So how did you know what my favorite dinner was?" Kim asked curiously. She was pretty sure she had not told the green woman. "Here you go." She said as she handed the green-hued woman the butter.

"Well I threatened Stoppable within an inch of his life to tell me what you liked." Shego smirked.

"Yeah, I don't believe that at all."

"Ok, I didn't threaten him, but he was the one that told me what to make, well I came up with dessert on my own."

"I thought so." Kim said smugly.

"Ok little miss smug-mug, have a bite of this, and tell me what you think." Shego said and handed the redhead a plate with two pieces of buttered bread on it.

"Yeah, you're right this is good." Kim said after she tasted the bread. "What did you say the name of the bakery was?"

"I didn't, but it's actually kinda funny…'Butter My Buns'."

"Seriously?"

"I kid you not."

"Well, they have good bread." Kim said before she grabbed another piece. "Hey, do you want me to set the table while you finish dinner?"

Shego just turned and looked at the redhead like she was nuts. "Did you lose your mind last night while you were drinking yourself silly? Of course, I don't want you to set the table! You're here on a date, so that means no setting the table."

"But I can hel-"

"No buts, Kimmie, now go have a seat at the table and I'll bring your plate to you."

"Ok." Kim said with a smile at the thought of being 'served' by the older woman. Had she told the ex-villainess a couple of years ago that she was going to be waiting on her, she was pretty sure Shego would have laughed in her face.

The redhead sat by herself at her date's dining room table and reflected on the big changes in their relationship. Despite working together during the Lowardian incident, they still considered themselves enemies; now they were…well she was not quite sure what they were. She knew they were dating, and they were more than friends, but she was not sure if Shego was ready to be in a committed romantic relationship with her. There had been signs from the emerald-eyed beauty over the past week that indicated that she wanted the redhead in her future and she seemed to care for her, but she was still getting over Rachael and she was not sure if she was just going to be a rebound girl or her girlfriend.

The redhead hoped for the latter. The more time she spent with the green-hued ex-villainess, the more she wanted to be with her romantically, but she did not want to push her in any one direction. She wanted to give her time to figure out what she really wanted.

"What's got you in such deep thought?" Shego asked taking the redhead from her inner deliberations.

"You."

"Oh yeah, what about?"

"Oh just how we've been having so much fun this week and that I'm not ready to go back to school tomorrow." Kim answered and looked down at the plate that the green-hued woman put in front of her. "Mmmm! I'm really looking forward to this. I haven't had shepherd's pie since I was home for Christmas break."

"Well dig in, Princess! You know just because you're going to be in school, it doesn't mean that we aren't going to see each other. What's your class schedule like?"

"Umm, Monday is my busiest day. I have classes from eleven to four forty-five, from five to six I'm an assistant for one of my professors during her lab, and then I have a meeting after that for one of my group projects that I have due in a couple of weeks. The only time I have for a break in-between classes is at two-thirty and I usually end up going to the student center for lunch."

"Ok, maybe Monday is out, but we still have the rest of the week. Oh, I forgot the gravy." Shego said and she went to retrieve the brown sauce. "What is the rest of your week like?" She called from the kitchen.

"Well Tuesday and Thursday are better; I only have class from ten to one. Wednesday is the same as Monday except I don't have lab or my group meeting, and Friday is my early day. I have a lab at eight, a class at ten, and then I'm done."

"You're a pretty busy person, how do you fit in your missions?" Shego said when she returned with the gravy.

"Well, it differs every semester depending on my work load, but I manage." Kim answered and poured some gravy on her meal. "Ok, time to try this food, I'm starving." She said before she took a bite.

"So?" Shego asked.

"It's spankin!" Kim answered before she started to devour her food.

"Whoa, slow down there Pumpkin, you're going to choke if you don't watch out."

"Sorry, I'm just so hungry, and this is SO good. I actually think this is better than my Mom's!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, don't get me wrong, hers' is good too, but I like your gravy better and I think that's what sets it apart.

"Thanks, Pumpkin." Shego smiled shyly. She loved getting complements about her cooking.

When the two women finished dinner, Shego removed their dirty dishes and returned with dessert plates and a red velvet cake. "Ready for dessert, Princess?"

"Oh, that look delicious, but I think I need to let my stomach settle a bit before dessert."

"Ok, you wanna watch TV or a movie?"

"Hey, I have an idea. Remember when you subbed in Middleton and we went to the movies?"

"Yeah."

"Let's watch the Memo Pad!"

"I don't have that movie, Pumpkin?"

"Oh." Kim pouted slightly.

Looking at the deflated look on the redhead's face, Shego felt her stomach sink. She was going to suggest that they watch another movie before she had a stroke of genius. "Hold on, we'll rent it."

"It's ok, we don't have to go out; we can watch something else instead."

"No, I mean we can rent it on my iPod."

"Really?"

"Yeah, give me a sec." Shego said and she disappeared into her bedroom

When Shego returned with her iPod, she downloaded the movie and set it up so they could watch it on her TV.

"I love this movie!" Kim squealed as she cuddled up to the emerald-eyed beauty and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Yeah, it's pretty good." Shego agreed with the redhead and put her arm around the younger woman so she was holding her close to her.

"When was the last time you saw this movie?"

"With you."

"The last time you saw this movie was with me in the theaters?"

"Yeah."

"You lead such a deprived life." Kim joked.

"I guess so." Shego chuckled.

"Ssshh, it's starting."

Shego just looked down at the redhead and smiled at her expression and reaction to the movie starting. Normally she would not stand to be 'ssh-ed,' but for some reason, she did not mind the redhead doing it to her. Maybe it was the cute look on her face, or that she knew that the redhead did not mean any disrespect by it, or maybe it was the fact that she knew that her feelings for her had changed for the better over the past week and she would put up with a lot more from the slim hero than she would anyone else.

She found it hard to believe that she had actually found someone that she could relate too and someone that she actually believed when they said that they cared about her. Since her relationship with Rachael, she never dreamed that she would have that feeling again. Granted she had shut herself off emotionally from everyone since then, but even when she was with another person, they still were not able to break down the wall that she had built up around herself. So, not only was she surprised that Kim had broken through, but she was surprised at how quickly she had managed to fall for the redhead.

"Seriously she's a 21 year old kid that up until a week ago was my rival and here I am making dinner for her and cuddling her like she's some damn teddy bear. If this isn't a sign that I have let myself be swept up by her, I don't know what is!" Shego thought to herself.

Now, Shego was not sure that this was a bad thing, but she was not sure that it was a good thing either. She had not allowed herself to care for anyone in seven years and she hoped that if she continued to follow this path with Kim that she did not manage to screw it up. Thanks to Rachael, she had a lot of emotional baggage that she knew could kill a relationship and she did not think she could go through that kind of pain a second time.

Her thoughts were broken when Kim let a sniffle escape at a partially touching part of the movie and she embraced the green-hued woman a little tighter.

Shego smiled and wiped a tear from Kim's check. When the girl sighed contently and nuzzled her neck with her nose as a 'thank you,' she was hooked. A shiver when down her pale spine from the innocent display of affection and she knew she would follow any path that allowed her to be with the slender hero because it was a wonderful feeling to be with the younger girl.

When the movie was over, Shego went to cut the cake and brought two pieces of cake over to the sofa so they could have some dessert before they had to part ways for the night. "Your cake was ferociously good!" Kim said when she finished her dessert.

"Of course it was. What, did you expect anything less? Everything I have cooked for you so far has been out of this world." Shego said with mock smugness. Actually, she was glad that the redhead liked her cooking, but she could not help but tease her a little. Apparently, old habits die hard.

Kim giggled at the response. She knew that the emerald-eyed beauty was just being a smart ass to her because that was part of their relationship. She was glad they could still have some of that old competition.

"No, actually I didn't, but I wonder what you'd say when I clear these dishes for you!" Kim said before she quickly gathered their dishes and hopped over the couch so she could get to the kitchen before the dark-haired woman could stop her.

"Kimmie! You get your narrow ass back here before I kick it!" Shego yelled as she chased after the younger woman.

Kim just laughed as she made it to the kitchen first and put the dishes in the sink. She knew that the older woman did not want her doing anything since she was there for a date, but she just had to push the ex-villainesses buttons. "Hey, she started it!" Kim thought as she felt the taller woman right behind her.

Shego grabbed the redhead by her shoulder and spun her around so she was looking down at her. "What did I say earlier? When you're here on a date, you don't do anything." Shego playfully growled. Really, she was not mad, she just had to show the smaller female who was in charge.

"Awww, I'm sorry Shego, I guess I couldn't resist." The redhead said with a shy smile. She hoped that got her some sympathy points in the little game they were playing.

"Nah-uh Princess, that's not going to work." Shego said shaking her head.

"Ok, she wants to play this the fun way!" Kim thought. "Oh, will this help?" She asked innocently and pushed up on her tip-toes and gave the green-hued woman a soft kiss, wrapping her arms around the taller woman's neck.

When they parted, the redhead smiled at the content look on the other woman's face. "Oh yeah, I'm in the clear!" She thought. "Did that help?" She asked the dark-haired woman.

Shego just smiled and leaned down so she could whisper in the petite hero's ear. "Only if I get another one of those kisses," and then she nipped the smaller woman's ear lobe. "Hey, it was there and it was practically begging her to taste it."

When they came together for another kiss, there was nothing shy or sweet about it, it was hot and intense to begin with. Shego slowly moved her hands from where they had been on the younger woman's shoulders to her waist where she intended to give the hero's midsection some attention. Unfortunately, there was a shirt in her way, which caused her to frown briefly. She needed to feel the redhead's skin.

Kim felt her shirt being pushed up, just enough to where she could feel the green-hued woman's fingers massaging her sides, and the combination of the passionate kiss that they were sharing and the feel of Shego's skin on hers was almost too much for her, but she managed to stay on her feet. If things progressed any further, she was not sure that she could stay on her feet. She could not help it though, she was just so turned on by the taller woman, and when she kissed and touched her like she was doing now, she just went weak in the knees. The redhead was debating on whether she should stop things before they went any further, since they had only been dating for a week, but it was somewhat hard to think straight when there was so much lovely touching going on.

When it became necessary for them to breath, the two women separated briefly before the older of the two decided to explore the redhead's neck. Kim tilted her head back so she could allow the other woman more access to the area that she desired to suckle.

While the redhead mewed in sheer delight, the green-hued woman's hands were starting to get adventurous and they moved a little lower to where they were at the waistband of the hero's jeans, and she could not help but press on. When her fingers made it to the strap of the younger woman's panties, she realized that she was wearing a thong. Unfortunately the jeans that Kim was wearing were just a bit tight for her to get her hands all the way inside, without it being uncomfortable, so she decided to remove her fingers from the hem and acquaint herself with the new area of the younger woman's body through the fabric. Sure, it may not be as good as touching skin, but it was uncharted territory and she decided not to rush things.

When the redhead felt the older woman's hands run down her backside to her thighs, she felt her resolve crumble and before she knew it, she felt herself being lifted up by Shego. She automatically wrapped her legs around the green woman's waist and returned her hold around her neck before she met her with another mind-blowing kiss.

Both women moaned into the others mouth from the pure pleasure that they were getting from being with the other woman. Shego turned to leave the kitchen to carry the redhead to the bedroom, but before she made it out of the room, the familiar sound of Kim's Kimmunicator chimed and both women halted what they were doing.

"Is she really going to answer that thing now?" Shego asked herself as she looked at the redhead in her arms. She hoped not anyways.

Kim looked back at the emerald-eye beauty that was holding her and almost as if she had read her mind, she ignored the intruding device. Whoever it was could leave her a message. At this point, the slender hero was too engrossed in what was going on to stop it and she figured if things went any further, she would deal with it later. She was emotionally and physically attached to the older woman anyways, so she did not see this as a hook-up, even if they were moving faster than she normally liked.

When Shego realized that Kim was not going to answer her Kimmunicator she started the kiss again, though their momentum had been thrown off a bit thanks to the interruption, so the green woman decided to build up the heat again before she moved to the bedroom. She held the redhead up with one arm and she put her other hand on her peach cheek in an attempt to deepen their kiss. She also pinned the smaller woman in her arms between her and wall. She was not sure why, but it seemed to turn her on even more, and she certainly was not getting any complaints from the beautiful woman in her arms if the moaning was any indication.

When the taller woman was satisfied that the passion had been properly re-heated, she decided to make a move for the bedroom again. Unfortunately, it did not seem like that was going to happen when the redhead's Kimmunicatior beeped again.

"Shit!" Shego objected in low voice, breaking their embrace again because of the interruption. It just seemed like someone was against them taking things further.

"I'm sorry Shego." Kim said sincerely. She knew she should have turned her Kimmunicator off after the first interruption.

The green-hued woman gave a frustrated sigh, "It's ok Kimmie, it not your fault, but you better answer that thing. Apparently whoever's calling really needs to talk to you." She said as she sat the redheaded hero down on the counter so she could take her call.

"Sorry." Kim said again to the dark-haired woman before she answered her Kimmunicator. "What's the Sitch?"

"Hey Kim what's up?" Wade asked.

"Ummm, nothing." The redhead lied. Well she sort-of lied, there was something, but that was pretty much killed now.

"Are you sure, you look pretty flushed, did I catch you at a bad time?"

"Of course I'm flushed! You just interrupted one hell of a make out session!" Kim screamed in her head. "Uh, no Wade, I was just working out, was there a reason that you called?"

"Oh, well I know that you wanted your missions put on hold while you were on spring break, so I just wanted to make sure that you were ready before I called G.J. to tell them that you are available again."

The slim hero looked across the room at Shego who was staring at the floor waiting for the call to end. "You know what Wade; tell Dr. Director that unless the world is going to come to an end and it's something that they can't handle, I'm going to take the next week off too." She only had one more week left with the dark-haired woman and she did not want to be running off on her all the time. This comment caught the older woman's attention.

"Really? Can I ask why?"

"Wade I had something important come up and I just need another week, I'm sure Dr. Director will understand."

"Ok, if that's what you want. So, how was your spring break?"

"Oh, it was great, better that I could have ever imagined."

"Nice."

"Ok, Wade, I better let you go, I have to get going. I have to get up pretty early tomorrow." Kim said just to get the computer genius off the line.

"Sure Kim, have a good night and I'll make sure I talk to Dr. Director."

"Thanks Wade. You rock." Kim said and then she disconnected the call and put her Kimmunicator in her cargo pocket.

Shego walked over to where the redhead was sitting on her counter and she took her hands into her own. "So you put your missions on hold for me?"

"Well, yeah. You only have another week here before you have to go back to work, and I want to spend what time I can with you since I really can't put school on hold."

"That's sweet of you Kimmie." Shego said in a low voice and then she kissed one of the redhead's hands. "Ok, well it's getting late, and I better get you home so you can get ready for school."

"Are you ok with what just happened?" Kim asked. She could tell that the green-hued woman was frustrated from the sudden halt to their activities, and despite what her own body was telling her, she guessed that it was a good thing that they were interrupted when they were. Sure, she cared for Shego, but she was not completely sure what was going on with them. Making out was one thing and she did not mind it, but sex was something she wanted to be sure about before they did it.

"Yeah. I know you don't want to rush things, and I'm fine with that, it just that it's so hard to stop once we get started. I am so turned on by you that I just want to have all of you."

"I totally understand that, Shego, I want you too."

"Well that's good, cuz I'm a damn sexy woman!" Shego said jokingly, to lighten up the conversation. She did not want to make it seem like it was a big deal, even though her body would have said something else had it been given a say in the matter.

"Yes, you are." Kim agreed knowing that the older woman was trying to down play the situation. She just hoped that they figured out where their relationship was going soon because she was not sure how much longer she could suppress her growing desire to be intimate with the emerald-eyed beauty.
