The Girl Next Door 9
After that strange and disappointing night Kim learned to be more alert. She also learned that not everything would turn out alright no matter how positive you were. Disappointments were a part of life and she no longer believed that thinking positive was the key to success. Clearly for her it hadn't been the key at all. Maybe it was just her but it was enough for her to give up on the positive thinking. She got driven home that evening; her euphoric feeling slowly dying as the effects of the drugs wore off. She got dropped off at her house with Shego and with mild enthusiasm she waved her friends goodbye.
"It'll be okay princess," Shego spoke grabbing the red head's hand. Kim stopped in her track and looked down at their connected hands. A slight smile appeared on her face, knowing that at least one thing was positive about her life. She had Shego and this time she had her for good. "You'll get into a different college easily." Shego reassured her and Kim suddenly felt the need to hug her. Without a word she stepped towards the beauty and wrapped her arms around her waist. She placed her head upon Shego's shoulder and closed her eyes.
The older of the two just went along, hugging the girl close. She knew Kim had a bad night and that a hug could lighten the bad mood. So she hugged her girlfriend for all it was worth and placed a kiss on top of her head.
"You'll be alright, you just need a good night of sleep." Shego murmured and Kim pulled back slightly, looking into Shego's green eyes.
"You're right, thanks." She replied and she leaned up, capturing Shego's lips in a kiss. She practically melted against those dark lips, feeling her problems fade away as she enjoyed the soft caress of her lover. Her eyes slid shut and even Shego lost herself in the kiss. Her grip tightened around Kim, pulling her as close as possible as she claimed her lips entirely. She pulled on Kim's bottom lip, pulling a groan from the girl's throat. She ran her tongue across her upper lip and was granted immediate access.
Kim kissed back with all she had, her tongue clashing with Shego's and her hand burying itself in her dark silky hair. Her other hand remained on the small of Shego's back, her body pressed flush against the older woman's. Within moments her worries and her small aches had disappeared. It was like Shego could kiss away every single negative thing. She wasn't about to complain she could kiss this woman for ages, if it weren't for the need of oxygen however.
They pulled apart, both breathing heavily. Both Kim and Shego's eyes had darkened with lust as they stared at each other. They regretfully parted ways with a last small kiss; both knowing it was time for bed. Both knowing that the other could really use some sleep. It was the truth; happy as she was Kim fell asleep the moment a single hair of her head touched her pillow. Tomorrow… day… Off. Was her last thought before sleep consumed her.
She didn't even think about the day's events. She had stolen a golden dick, which she had dumped in the bushes. She had gotten hit against the head by Drew causing a major headache. That headache was the cause she had gotten some XTC and last but not least she had held a speech under the influence of drugs, causing her to miss the opportunity to win a scholarship. Though if she had considered the day's events she would know one thing for sure. That one thing was that Shego could make her forget all those things. Compared to Shego nothing mattered anymore and she felt good, knowing that she could care about someone like that.
The next day came quickly and Kim slept in late. Despite the kiss she had shared with Shego her mood hadn't really improved. She hadn't quite stepped over yesterday's incidents yet. All though she knew she had some work to do today. She had to go to the bank and close the account for the exchange student. Apart from that she had the entire day off and she was content on spending it in bed.
"Kimmie get up honey, you have to go to the bank remember?" Her mother called from downstairs. "Hurry or it'll be closed before you can get there!" Ann urged and with a groan Kim flipped the covers off of her, exposing herself to the bright sun that shone into her bedroom.
"I'm up!" She called in return and with tired eyes and a massive headache she started on her daily cleaning routine. She took a shower, washed her hair, dried it and got dressed. After getting dressed she made sure her hair was done and at last she stepped into her sneakers. Looking like she was ready to kill she checked the time, seeing that she had slept up until 4 in the afternoon. She went downstairs and without a word she walked out of the house. Her head was still hurting but she tried to ignore it as much as she could. She hadn't taken the car, figuring that a walk might do her good right now. It gave her the time to enjoy the fresh air and think about things.
"Well hello there Kim, my god what happened to you?" Ginny asked in shock seeing the bruise on Kim's head.
"I slipped." Kim replied monotone as she stepped towards Ginny's counter. "Anyway the exchange student is arriving Monday."
"Yes that must be very exciting!"
"If you say so, I have to close the account." Kim said ignoring the woman's overly excited comment.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked and Kim frowned at that.
"I mean that I have to close the account." Kim repeated herself.
"The account is already closed." Ginny said and Kim blinked once, twice, her face scrunching up in confusion.
"What?"
"Your student advisor came in earlier today and closed the account already." Ginny explained.
"My student advisor? Wh-what are you talking about?" Kim asked in shock.
"Mr. Sallenger, the man you were with a few days ago. He came in today and closed the account for you." Right that moment Kim felt her world crash and burn just a little bit more. She wished the ground would open up and just devour her. This could not be happening to her. She leaned on the counter, groaning loudly as she buried her face in her hands. She had no idea what she had done to deserve all of this; it was like everything was against her the past few days. Not even one tiny thing could work along.
"Ginny, that guy wasn't my student advisor. I made that up, didn't you ask for ID?" Kim asked looking up from behind her hands.
"No you told me his name and that he's a student advisor, I thought it was okay!" She countered and this made Kim groan yet again.
"Oh noooo, how will I get 25000 dollars that quick?" She questioned and Ginny simply stared at her with eyes the size of saucers. She walked off, trying to avoid the subject but Kim wouldn't have any of it. She followed the woman stopping her by blocking her way. "You're going to help me. You're just as guilty as I am, you should've asked for his ID. You can get fired if I tell your boss." Kim said and Ginny furiously shook her head.
"It's your own fault you shouldn't have told me that he was your student advisor. I don't know how you'll come up with such an amount of money but I wish you good luck. My hands are clean in this one, you lied and now you have to follow the consequences." Ginny said in a panicked tone and she walked off, disappearing into an area that was only accessible for employees.
Kim stared after the woman, feeling completely terrified and helpless. Without a second thought she sprinted out of the bank, running down the street. She was close to tears, she could feel them burn in the corners of her eyes. The sun was already setting but she didn't stop running. Even if she was out of breath she kept on pushing. She didn't know what to do, she was clueless. There was no way she could come up with such an amount of money in such a short period of time. Her fellow students were going to kill her and she didn't blame them. She had lost the money for the exchange student by a stupid mistake.
They had yet to find out that the money was gone and that the exchange student couldn't be flown in. Prom-night was coming up and it was clear that she had to get through it with a straight face. She couldn't let the others know yet that she didn't have the money anymore. Meanwhile she could come up with a plan to collect the money and she ended up at the only person she was sure she could depend on.
With a quick knock on the door she stepped back, waiting for the door to be opened. Within seconds it swung open, revealing Shego in a black robe.
"Can I come in?" Kim asked her eyes watery and Shego pulled her into the house, closing the door and wrapping the girl in an embrace. "I'm in so much trouble." Kim murmured.
"What happened?" She asked as she held the sobbing red head.
"I lost it all." Kim sobbed into Shego's robed shoulder. She was soaking the beauty's soft bathrobe but Shego didn't care about it at all. "I lost the 25000 dollars for the exchange student and there's no way I can get it back before Monday." She sobbed and Shego held her a bit tighter. She eventually helped Kim towards a chair at the dining table and sat her down there.
"Tell me everything." She said taking a seat of her own, her eyes directed at the crying red head. Kim sobbed a few times, wiping away the tears that had fallen, trying to stop herself from crying. It took her a while to stop the tears and all the time Shego sat there, waiting patiently for her to start her story. Her eyes on the girl the entire time.
"Well I went to close the account because the exchange student, Wade, is coming Monday. So I needed the money to make sure his flight can be paid for and the residence he's staying at. I ended up at the bank and Ginny told me that the account had already been closed by my student advisor." Kim explained and Shego simply lifted one eyebrow.
"Your student advisor took the money?" She asked and Kim shook her head.
"No he wasn't really my student advisor, I told Ginny that Drew was my student advisor the day I checked the account. I told her his name was Mr. Sallenger and he took the money. He closed the account and took the money because she didn't ask for his ID. And now.. now Wade can't come and everyone at school will kill me." Kim muttered, lowering her head in shame.
"Well if Drew has the money there is no way you'll ever get it back. We'll just have to come up with a way to collect the money." Shego said and Kim remained in the same position, her head down. "Come on, you made a mistake, it happens to everyone. You couldn't have known that he would do something like that." She said and Kim looked up at her, a complete look of depression on her face. "We'll figure this out and you'll have the money for Wade before Monday." She added and even though Kim wasn't sure how they were going to manage that she believed her. She smiled slightly and Shego returned the smile.
"There's only one way we can do this." Shego said and Kim's eyebrows rose at that. It remained quiet between the two and Kim stared at her for a long time. After a few silent minutes it finally dawned on her what Shego meant.
"No, no way, I can't let you do that. I don't want to get you involved it's my problem." Kim started her eyes wide with shock.
"It's the only way to get such an amount of money by Monday." Shego reassured her gently and Kim sighed heavily. "I want to do it."
"Why?" She breathed almost inaudible and this made a grin form on Shego's face.
"Morabl fiber." Was all she said and that night the plan to get 25000 dollars was set into action. She gathered her two best friends at her house to explain the plan. Though halfway through her story Monique interrupted her.
"I'm in!" She cheered.
"You haven't heard the entire plan yet." Kim said in disbelief and Monique shrugged.
"Yeah! I don't care, fuck film school this is freaking genius and I am here to help. Count me in!" Monique said and the two of them turned to look at Ron. The blond-haired freckled boy simply stared at the girl's from Kim's bed.
"No." Was all he said, his face straight.
"Roooon," Kim said in a whiny tone. "Come on I need your help on this one. You know I wouldn't ask you unless I absolutely have to." She said and Ron simply kept shaking his head, not even wanting to know why he had to be involved in it all.
"No sorry, I'd love to help you but, no we'll get expelled." Ron said and this time Monique stepped in.
"Ron take a look at us," She said leaning towards the boy. "Take a freaking good look at us, do you know what we are?" She asked and Ron shook his head. "We're a fucking tripod man!"
"A tripod?" Ron questioned in disbelief.
"Yeah and do you know what that means! That means when you take out one of our legs we will all fall! We need you with this one Ron, come on!" Monique urged, smacking him on the arm.
Ron remained silent, looking at his two best friends. Eventually Kim's eyes widened and she stuck out her bottom lip, making it quiver slightly. One way or another they were going to get Ron's help and if she needed to use her secret weapon then so be it.
"Aaaah no not the puppy dog pout!" Ron cried out, hiding his face behind his hands. He peeped through his fingers, seeing the girl's eyes water up slightly. "Alright alright! I'll help just stop using that on me!" He finally caved in and the girl's smiled brightly, giving him both a kiss on the cheek.
"You're the best!" Kim cheered and he rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." He sighed and Monique and Kim grinned at each other. Having convinced both of her friends, having to convince Ron a bit more than Monique, the plan was finally really set into motion. Now all they could do was hope everything would turn out as planned. As said they also had to hope that Ron wasn't right and that they wouldn't get expelled. If that were to happen everything would be for nothing. So to make sure that they didn't get caught another plan was created. All that was left was finding some girls, apart from themselves, who were willing to help as well.
"Uh Shego what are we doing here?" Kim asked as she stood at the airport. Shego had been acting mysterious since they had gotten there, not willing to tell what was going on.
"You'll notice," She said and she motioned for Kim to look at the nearest gate. "And you'll be grateful." She added and all Kim could do was stare curiously. Two girls appeared, one blond and one brunette, both bouncing with energy.
"Oh there she is!" Kim heard them call and they pointed at Shego. Kim's jaw dropped as she watched her girlfriend hug the two bouncing ladies. "Well go get your luggage!" Shego told them and the two skipped off to retrieve their luggage.
"You called them to come?" Kim asked and Shego gave a nod. The red head recognized the girl's from the adult movie convention she had been to. The two had joined Shego on the same stage and that only meant one thing. "You're amazing." Kim breathed.
"I know." Shego replied placing a soft kiss upon Kim's cheek. "Now we're ready to start rolling. So let's leave this place cause tonight is the night." Shego said, leading Kim and her two former co-workers to the exit of the airport. "There's only one thing left to do."
They dropped Shego's former co-workers off at Shego's house and before the red head knew it she was standing in the bushes, searching for a golden dick. She knew they had to talk to Monty and it would mean a better start if she returned his statue. She eventually found the golden statue and was led to his front door by Shego.
He opened, smiling as he saw the raven-haired beauty; his smile disappeared, however, when his eyes fell upon Kim. Without a word the red head handed him the golden statue and he examined it for a second. His smile reappeared and he stepped aside, motioning for them to get inside. Kim got dragged along by Shego and they sat down in his living room. Shego didn't beat around the bush; she immediately came to business. She explained the situation about Drew and the 25000 dollars. She also explained the plan she had to get it back. All she needed was someone who had 25000 dollars and was willing to pay that amount for what she had come up with.
Luckily Shego wasn't only gorgeous but smart as well. She knew how to negotiate and had Monty agreeing with every offer she made.
"So if we pull this off you'll give me the 25000 on Sunday?" Kim asked shaking Monty's hand and he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close.
"Kid if you pull this off I'll take care of you and your whale." He replied happily.
"Uhm Wade." Kim corrected with a slight grin on her face.
"Whatever, just enjoy your prom kid." He said and that was exactly what the red head was going to do. Enjoy her prom with the most gorgeous woman she knew by her side.
Well Kim sure has a lot of bad luck, doesn't she! That must suck.. the poor thing! Her money got stolen.. she didn't get the scholarship.. but she did get the girl.. now let's see if she'll get a bit more luck in the next chapter. All though.. If you've seen the movie you already know the answer!
Yours truly,
WPJ
