It's been a little over a year since Kim had graduated from high school and was taking her first few steps into real adulthood of being a woman. She was still keeping up with her international crime fighting while also juggling her 2nd year of college. She and Ron had taken a break from their relationship as Ron and Rufus had gone on a trip around the world for the summer.
In fact, a lot of people in Kim's life was gone at the moment. Kim's father had been given a great opportunity to work upstate in a state of the art research facility. What made it even sweeter for Kim was because it was the summer, he took the tweebs with him, leaving just Kim with her mom Ann to themselves which worked perfectly for her, only things have been weird.
Before she started back to college, Kim noticed that her mom had been showing strange signs. Despite her middle age and serious demeaner to her work, Ann has become more obsessed with her look and begun dressing in a fashion sense that Kim deemed bold and uncharacteristic to as well as disturbingly erotic.
At first, she began wearing things like leather skirts with her normal working attire looking like a fashionable working attire, but than she begun to break away from what was appropriate. She begun to wear low cut tops, leather jackets and fashionable heels and boots too work. There wouldn't be a day where she would look her best with her hair and makeup. But the thing that was the most alarming about her fashion choice was Kim noticing her mother wearing latex of all materials.
Kim would notice her wearing it whenever she went out at night, like latex pants and tube tops like a fetish model. Which was the big behavioural thing alarming Kim. Multiple times in the week her Mother would go out for the night dressing like she was going out to party in leather and latex provocative outfits. Before she would be so sensible but now it was like she was hiding a secret live from Kim, but she was going to find out what was happening to her. She stayed up late in their living room until she heard a car approaching their home parking outside.
Kim sat up and readied herself. She was fatigued a bit from how late it was, but she was determined to confront her mother. Over the last few days, whenever Kim would ask her about it or bring it up, Ann would shy away from it or change the topic. But as she heard the sound of heavy heels enter their front hall, Kim wasn't going to let her escape this time. Sure enough her mother went to walk into the living room as Ann was surprised to see her daughter waiting for her.
"Kim? What are you doing up so late?" Ann questioned concerningly as Kim could tell from her red face and blood shot eyes that she had been up to something. Her outfit didn't help as she was wearing five inch heels with black latex leggings with a matching purple latex tube top with a sleek, tight fitting leather jacket over her and the make up on her face worn out from the night.
"I was waiting for you. Where have you been all night?" Kim asked her calmly and concerningly as she walked over to her not trying to draw too much attention towards the outfit her mother was wearing.
"I…was just out with some friends Kim" Ann said defensive as if she took offence to the question.
"And what were you doing?" Kim asked examining her. "Where did you go?" Kim asked her mother raised a brow and put her hands on her hips.
"Is there something you want you ask me young lady? Because you have quite the inquisitor tone towards your own mother" She said in a strict tone making it quiet clear she knew what Kim was up to.
"Mom what's gotten into you lately? You've been staying out late at god knows where and you been dressing…." Kim trailed off avoiding looking away from her mother's face with how provocative the outfit was as Ann stood there waiting for Kim's remark. "Well, not like a married mother" Kim said in a polite calm tone but Ann didn't take it as that.
"Kim! I'm allowed to act and dress in whatever manner that I would like to. And nobody has any right to correct me or criticise me on any way that I choose to live my life, especially my own daughter" Ann told her strongly not having any of it.
"But Mom this isn't like you" Kim protested as her mother went to walk back out as Kim reached out and stopped her.
"And what makes you say that? Why can't I be different or make changes in my life? Are you trying to say I should life my live and have worked around what you want Kim? To only do what you approve of and dictate?" Ann said quite snipingly as Kim retreated a bit never hearing this kind of tone and behaviour from her Mother.
"Well….no of course not. I just. I want to know more. I want to understand what is happening with you?" Kim said upset as this seemed to have affected Ann as she seemed to calm down and reserve her temper again.
"Well Kim. I'm not getting any younger. And if it wasn't for the fact I had you so young in my life I would already be out of my prime by now. I don't want to live out and have regrets in my life especially at my age and with your father gone I have been feeling a bit lost" Ann explained to her quite quickly as Kim followed her. "So I decided to take some risks in my social life and have met a number of individuals I got to know quiet well and enjoy their company" Ann went on.
"But mom you have nothing to be ashamed of or regret. You're still young, you're an amazing accomplice doctor and if I say so myself have raised an amazing family" Kim told her reassuringly had to hear this was how her mother felt as Ann seemed to take a deep breath at this as if she felt conflicted about something.
"I know what you're trying to say honey, and thank you but this is just something that I need. It's something you wouldn't understand, just the great sensation and joy when I go out and meet with them, when I am away from the responsibilities of work and being a mother for just a night. I never felt so complete and perfect for along time" Ann said pleasingly a she let out a sigh of relief and smiled as Kim didn't like this.
"And what's so rewarding and great about parading around in latex and leather?" Kim was quick to say voicing her disapproval as Ann crossed her arms.
"There's nothing wrong with the way I am dressed Kim. Is there anything wrong with me and my friends wanting to dress young and sexy?" Ann turned to Kim and approached her insulted.
"Young and sexy? You're a married woman who are you trying to impress? And I don't go around wearing leather or latex!" Kim snapped in response not believing what she was being told.
"So, your calling yourself young and sexy and don't think I should be able to feel the same. Or do you want everyone to satisfy your needs Kim?
"I think I have a pretty good moral compass mom, I have the track record to prove it. The only people who like to dress the way you do are the ones who get paid to take it off or want to bring the world to its knees!" Kim said getting more heated as this crossed the line as Ann marched towards her with her hands on her hips as Kim had to admit she even looked like a different woman as she seemed intimidating.
"What are you trying to call me young lady?" Ann said sternly. "Go ahead, say it!" Ann screamed as Kim wasn't going to back down.
"A slut mom, you're dressing like a slut!" Kim said as it did pain her to say it to her but emotions were high and she was not going to stand down. Especially now that Ann was furious.
"Don't you dare ever call your mother that again!" Ann demanded from her.
"Are you my mother? You haven't been my mother in so long I can't even recognise you anymore. You're nothing like the kind woman you once more. You now stay up all night dressed like a nightwalker and think that its fine when its completely shameful!" Kim told her as Ann was going to put an end of this as she loomed over her daughter and screamed.
"Enough!" Ann screamed causing Kim to go silent. "I have had enough of your attitude and your tone towards me Kimberly Ann Possible!. Get up there's stairs this instant! I don't want to hear another peep from you. You're a grown woman you're mature enough to keep yourself out of other people's business and to act your age when you come across things that you don't like. And as long as you're living in this home you will listen to your mother and listen to her!" Ann said furiously as Kim who wanted to speak out again but accepted defeat. For now.
Kim went up to her room as she started to calm down a bit and felt terrible with how that went down. She only brought it up because she cared, but things got heated too quickly and now she paid the price. There's no way her mom would talk to her after that. With that, Kim stripped and quickly got to bed as she found it hard to sleep, still worrying and feeling bad about it.
Morning came soon as Kim woke up not feeling the best after what happened the night before with her mom. She didn't know what she was going to do about this. She felt so concerned for her mom but couldn't tell if this was something she should pry into. Maybe last night was her mother's way of saying she was going through a midlife crisis and if this was a evil force, there was no logical reasons to have her act this way.
Kim decided for now that she would drop it. Things were rocky with her mom after the night before so maybe if she patched things over with her, she will be more open to talk about it. With that decided, Kim got out of bed and took a shower before college. It was the first day of her 2nd year of college and while she was sad her summer was cut short because of how early they start she was looking forward to this.
She got to work quickly with drying herself and picking the right outfit as she wanted to make an impression for the start of the year as she hurried herself. She got dressed in a fashionable, sensible light outfit for the summer weather as she left her room and hurried downstairs. Kim noticed that her mom hasn't gotten out of bed yet which was unusual from how early she would need to be for work, but maybe this was a good thing. Their emotions may still be high after last night's fight so maybe it was best Kim waited till after college to talk to her.
Kim went to leave without saying goodbye as she opened the front door and walked out to hear a motorcycle pulling up to the front of her house. Kim was stopped on her tracks as she saw it park at her curb and see a tall, female figure step off it as she parked it and walked towards Kim, whipping her long, lushes locks of blonde in the air as she took off her glasses.
"Hey there, you must be Kim" The woman smiled with a youthful tone of life in her voice as she smiled like the sun at Kim.
"Ummm yeah, that's me" Kim said not sure how she should react to this stranger showing up at her house, as she had the same fashion sense that her mother has been showing of late. She was knee high boots over leather pants with her torso covered in a tight, shining leather jacket with her natural, enormous breasts pultruding out from underneath. Her colour scheme reminded Kim of a bee with a combination of yellow, black and brown as well as her matching black and yellow bike she rode up with.
"I'm Yang, I work with your mom" She smiled introducing herself as she put her glasses away into one of the pocked of her jacket as she adjusted her large breasts with Kim sighing her gaze away. "Is she in?" Yang asked as she stood a good bit taller that Kim with her breasts staring right out at Kim's face.
"Ummmm I don't think she's up yet. You work at the hospital with her?" Kim asked suspiciously as her appearance and fashion sense was no coincidence.
"I'll give it a knock and get her up, it's nice meeting you Kim. Have a good day at school" Yang grinned waving as she walked right past Kim to her front door as Kim didn't know what the deal with this woman was.
"I'm a college student actually" Kim eyed her with a sassy undertone not liking how rude this woman seemed.
"My bad, enjoy yourself so" Yang giggled as if she was trying to shooo Kim away for some reason as she knocked on her front door. Kim wasn't going to tolerate this as she wanted to stay behind and find out more, but she remembered her plan from before with trying to be on good terms with her mom. Besides, she was an international crime fighting spy, she had her resources to investigate into this more.
Kim quickly made her way to her college as she found a quiet enough place not too far away from her first class as she took out her kimumicator and went to her main source for all the info and recon that she needed.
"Hey Kim, don't have class now?" The reliable, helpful voice of Wade came on the screen who sounded a lot better and suited since going through puberty.
"I got five minutes to spare. Which is why I need to make this quick. Dig up all you know about a woman named, Yang" Kim told him in a hurry not wanting this all to impair with her college life.
"Uhhh do you got anything more for me to work on. I mean I guess Yang isn't a very common name but could you tell me what I'm looking for?" Wade asked confused by Kim's odd request as he got to work typing away.
"Blonde woman, I'd say mid to early twenties, tall, long hair, prefers travelling on a bike and is….well endowed" Kim said sad to admit but apart from her hair was her most defining feature.
"Got something, you must be on about Yang Xiao Long**. Whoa! This girl's made a name for herself. Her strength is unreal you should see some of the videos of her punching things" Wade said impressed as he pulled up a picture of her as sure enough it was the same woman Kim met.
"That's the one and please don't get distracted" Kim said as she could see Ron flipping over the top of a super strong blonde. "What about her occupation and hobbies?" Kim asked wanting to dig deeper into her life as Wade typed it in.
"Seems like she enjoys kicking criminal butt as much as you do. When she's not boasting her strength she a trill seeker, putting herself in every dangerous situation you can think of and taking down major bad guys. Although it does seem she also works as private security" Wade pointed out as this struck a cord.
"Let me guess, she's hired out here in Middleton?" Kim asked which would explain why she was here.
"Yeah, I see public records recognising her position here, but as too who she works for or does, that's classified" Wade informed her as this seemed like a suspicious lead to Kim.
"Could you try and find out who that is?" Kim asked as she noticed it was getting dangerous close to the start of class.
"It'll take time. Why what's up?" Wade wanted to know with this random obsession with this woman.
"It's no big, just a family matter. Thanks Wade" Kim said signing off her Kimmunicator as she ran to class which she was sure to get to, perfectly on time.
The day went by slowly as Kim was finally finishing up her first day of college. Her mind was still pounding her mother and that woman Yang from before. She was partially distracted as she anticipated more news from Wade about that mysterious woman Yang but also for herself. Kim felt a little lonely and fragmented with college as new year meant new classes and classmates with the first day always being the hardest.
Not being with Ron she wanted to make more of an independent presence for herself without having to rely on her crimefighting reputation. But throughout the entire day she wasn't able to make a single impact or notice from anyone. Kim was disappointed by this but she had more important things on her mind, she can worry about that when she's more certain and secure about her mom.
Thinking of which, Kim was going to stick with her plan of keeping up with good communication and contact with her. The last she needed was to start another argument with her again and be on bad terms. But she needed to seem natural, she just had to learn the right boundaries, make it known to her mother that she interested but not nosy about her personal life, that should make things easier for her. Kim thought through this plan all the way back home as she made her way through the front door, sure enough noticing the absence of a yellow motorcycle.
"Kim? Is that you sweetie?" Kim instantly heard her mother calling in from inside as she was surprised to hear that she was home so early.
"Oh, yeah mom it's me" Kim replied back thankful that she seemed to at least be able to talk to her again.
"Could you come in for a minute? I want to talk about last night" Ann's voice came back as Kim let out a quick sigh, hoping they could avoid the awkwardness from talking about it but knew it was enviable. Especially if she wanted to be in good terms with her again. Kim made her way into the Kitchen where her mother seemed to be reading some notes and having some coffee as she sat up and faced Kim.
Kim noticed how her mother seemed to be dressed in smart but fashionable sense. She was wearing simple short heels and tanned tights with a short white miniskirt and a plain white shirt with rather tasteful and fitting light white, leather jacket. While Kim didn't really approve of her mother's latest fashion rage she admitted her style her was on point as she still looked like a professional doctor. Although as she came over to Kim she seemed to have a sympathetic face.
"Kim, I'm sorry about last night," She said sadly to Kim as she seemed to be serious and legitimate as Kim was surprised thinking it was her who stepped over the line last night and thought this would be harder to do. "I know it must be hard for you to understand and truthfully it's something that I have been embarrassed and not ready to confront, so when brought it up to me last night, it all just flooded out" Ann spoke slowly and worryingly as Kim felt bad about it.
"No Mom, I'm sorry" Kim started not wanting her to take all the blame, especially when she was going to take it all originally.
"You did nothing wrong Kim, you were your normal, caring, loving self. You saw something happening in my life and were worried about it and I expect nothing less from you that to have brought it up," Ann smiled as Kim felt a lot better and proud hearing her mother say all these nice things. "Really, I'm just trying a new lease of life for a bit. I mean your father has been away and the boys too and you're now a grown woman in college, I guess this is just the first time in a long time I feel like a young single woman again" Ann opened up as Kim took it all in feeling bad about her suspicions.
"Mom it's okay. You can talk to me about it" Kim smiled as this a lot faster and easier than what she thought it would be like, but it was also sad to hear as he came closer to reassure her.
"But that's the thing Kim, I enjoy this new lease a lot and I don't think this is something you can understand through talking. So, I thought of a peace offering that could maybe help tensions and maybe even make things clearer for you," Ann interrupted her abruptly as she walked back over to the counter and picked up a box beside it on the floor. "I thought maybe if you tried the fashion it may make things easier".
Ann came back over to Kim as handed the box to her daughter. Kim was surprised as his was definitely not going how she thought it would but not wanting to be rude opened up the box and say the glimpse of black leather under sugar paper inside. Kim sat the box down and pulled out a leather jacket from inside of it, one that she surprised by as it looked designer and super expensive.
It was made of really fine, high quality leather with a sleep smooth design. The fabric seemed a lot lighter than how it looked like, feeling breathable and was designed in a biker style. It was decored by a number of gold zip and wrapped around her body with a lower cut bottom finish. Kim felt the material between her fingers as she almost got tingles from how soft and smooth it rubbed off.
"Wow! This is super cute" Kim said honestly. As much as she disapproved and wasn't a face of the material and style, she had to admit that this was super versatile fashion wise and gorgeous.
"You like it? Oh I'm so relieved," Ann exhaled gratefully. "I thought that maybe if you gave wearing it a try it may ease your disapproval" Ann said sullenly seeming to still a bit upset with herself about the other night.
"It's fine, I do like it. But this is definitely designer and looks high end. Where did you get this? Like how?" Kim exclaimed really taken back by this gift as she found herself going back to her curious investigative self as she was afraid she was being to up front about it.
"It's no biggie Kim. I was able to get it from one of my new friends, it was more than affordable anyway" Ann shrugged off her question. Kim mean was lucky that didn't seem to affect anything but this could explain what happened this morning.
"From your friend Yang? I met her on my way out to college this morning" Kim said wanting it to sound more like an understanding statement than a noisy question.
"Oh, yes from her" Ann said quickly like she didn't want to talk about her which set off an alarm on Kim's mind. As long as she seemed playful and relative to the topic she may be able to learn something in a her buttered up phase.
"How do you know her? Don't tell me you mentioned her before. I completely blanked with her and am hoping I haven't met her before. Would be super awkward" Kim said trying to be as normal as she could as it seemed to work as her mother let off a soft chuckle.
"No, I haven't. She's relatively new. Yang is a temporary contractor brought in for a project I have been working on. She's really friendly and always pushes me to break norms ignore the stigma of age. But I'm rambling now, try it on, make sure it fits" Ann shooed away the topic focusing back to her gift.
Kim was going to risk maybe prying a bit more into this 'project' she mentioned but it was probably better for later and just took a mental note. She pulled the jacket back and treaded her arms through loving the soft brush of the silk under line. The jacket almost felt moulded for her body from how perfect it fitted, clinging tightly to her skin but not restrictive. Kim looked down on herself as she had to admit, she looked good in it and complemented the style well.
"It fits perfectly mom, thank you" Kim said more delighted and happy by it than she could ever imagine.
"Oh I'm so happy to hear that," Ann said delighted as she came over and lovingly hugged her daughter. Kim embraced her back feeling such a deep, loving comfort from it seemed like something she had missed for a long time and it just felt so right and good for her. "Let's promise to never fight again dear. It's just the two of us for the time being and with everyone else gone, you're the most precious thing I have" Ann said softly as they hugged with Kim be sucked into the moment.
"Okay mom, I promise. I love you" Kim said burying her face lovingly into her.
"I love you too sweetie," Ann said softly as they finally broke up from their embrace. "You look beautiful in that jacket. I think it suits you well" Ann complemented her further as blushed slightly.
"Thanks mom. I think you're right. I can already see better why you enjoy wearing clothes like. Although I am not trying latex" Kim said sternly finding that way too out there for her, at least leather could be tasteful and fashionable for those who could pull it off.
"Not at your age no!" Ann said sternly all seriously before breaking into a gently snicker. "Now, how was your first day back? Sorry I wasn't there to send you off. I was still a bit upset" Ann apologized profusely.
"Mom it's fine, I'm not five anymore. It was okay, I got to admit it's a little lonely but it's only the first day back. Tomorrow is another day" Kim smiled to her.
"That's the spirit, you're still young Kim, there's no point dreading on what can be perfected in the future," Ann reassured her as an alarm went off on her wristwatch. "Oh darn, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you for bit. I have some work ready for me in my lab" Ann apologized as she quickly gathered things and readied to depart to her lab in the house.
"You're working from home again? It feels like a while since you were last in the hospital" Kim laughed pretending like it was a joke, but it was a true statement that bothered her.
"Don't be so silly I was there this morning after Yang came by. It's just easier for me to work at home for the mean time. Love you sweetie" Ann said goodbye, giving Kim a quick loving kiss on the head before departing off into her lab.
Kim wanted to pry a little more into her mother, but she was happy enough for the time being. She was curious as to what she has been working on, but the lab was right there if she needed to be nosy, the only problem being her mother never left. Still though, Kim was happy they made things up and was really impressed by the leather jacket she was gifted. It wouldn't be something she would see herself wearing often in a normal situation but wearing it for her mother will help getting in her head.
With that Kim made it up to bedroom as she threw her handbag onto the bed as she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. Kim stopped and took a better look of herself in the mirror as from this angle she could fully appreciate the jacket. Herself and her Mom were right, it did look really good on her. It complemented her figure well showing a nice outline and its sleek material making her look more appealing to the eye. Kim felt the material again as she could see more worth coming from this jacket than simply as a device for her investigation.
Kim quickly realised she was getting a bit too easily distracted checking herself out in the new jacket as she remembered the more important details she had to do and returned to her focus on her investigation, pulling out her kimmunicator again. The screen flickered on as Wade's eyes was glued to his screen snacking on something as he watched some entrancingly.
"Uhh Wade?" Kim politely called out as he didn't hear her as his eyes widened from whatever he was watching. "Wade? Wade!" Kim called out to him again but louder as sudden the sound of a loud crashing thud along with female voice gloating that Kim very quickly picked up who it belonged too.
"No way! How did she do that with one hand?" Wade awed in disbelief as Kim put politeness aside.
"Wade!" Kim screamed turning up her audio as suddenly he jumped from his seat and freak out a little dropping his snacks.
"Wha! K…Kim…..Sorry I didn't hear you log on" Wade quickly caught his breath and sat up straight awkwardly.
"Were you watching videos of that Yang woman?" Kim questioned recognising her voice as Wade got all awkward.
"Yeah, sorry. After our chat early I got a little too drawn in with research on her" Wade admitted sheepishly.
"No biggie," Kim giggled as she expected nothing less, he and Ron were just giant man-child. No wonder they always got along. "But speaking of that, did you find out who hired Yang?" Kim asked quietly to make sure her there was no chance her mother overheard her.
"Oh yeah, but it's weird at first it seemed like a straight answer after digging through some stuff, but than I noticed when I took a different route, I learned another group hired her" Wade quickly rambled still a little shocked from Kim's scare as Kim couldn't follow it.
"Ummm could you repeat a bit clearer for me?" Kim asked wanting to make sure she understood him.
"Right sorry, a bit frazzled. Basically, I pulled up at least a dozen organisations that are registered to Yang. Which seems highly unlikely, especially how disconnected they are from one another. Most of them seem like businesses but then there are services and what I can only dummy companies" Wade explained better removing his explain method and skipping to the results.
"You think that the real one is disguising itself in there with a bunch of fake ones?" Kim suggested as him as Wade typed away bringing up his notes.
"Either that or it's a red herring for whatever reason. You mind filling me in on what this is all about?" Wade asked thinking it could give more info for him to work on.
"It's probably nothing Wade, just a suspicion. Let me guess though, Middleton General Hospital is on the list?" Kim said with confidence as Wade looked at the screen and looked surprised.
"Yeah that's right, how did you know that?" Wade asked not knowing.
"Because my Mom said she worked with Yang there" Kim said as it did show that her Mom has been telling her the truth.
"She does? Wow. You think she could get me her autograph?" Wade said with great enthusiasm as all Kim had to just give one short look of disappointment for Wade to get the hint. "Right right sorry, I'll stay focused".
"It's fine, but why would she be working there, she didn't come across like a doctor and you said she was a trill seeker. Could you pull up her medical records and see if she is sick or was injured? When my Mom said she worked with her that could be doctor patient wise" Kim pieced together seeming more logical and plausible.
"Good thinking, I didn't want to pry unnecessary in her personal life but let you know what I find tomorrow. With strength like hers I can see that having great strain and problems on the body, or her genes could really help others. I have no doubt knowing your Mom that her work with Yang is for the good" Wade smiled innocently as for some reason Kim just couldn't say the same, call it just a bad hunch that's been plaguing her.
"Yeah I think so too," Kim lied unsure. "I'll catch ya tomorrow Wade, thanks again" Kim said as she hung up. She was going to think more into it but for now it was probably better that she just wait until she had more information to work off. Instead she may as well invest some time with college, it may have been the first day back, but she still had readings to do and prepare for.
Sometime later, "Kimmy! Honey! Are you hungry?" Ann called up from below the stairs. It's been a few hours and Kim got a little too sucked in with her reading as she seemed to be having some trouble concentrating and did not want to make any blunders or mess-ups so early in the semester.
"Oh, yeah I'll do down now. Thanks Mom!" Kim called back as she packed away her notes and swung off her bed. She changed into some more comfier lounge pants as she worked but kept the leather jacket on without even thinking as it was snug enough and not too warm for her to work in. She ran downstairs as straight away noticed a strong pungent smell filling the house.
"Wow, you really went all out Mom" Kim commented as she went into the dinning room as the table was all prepared with Ann doing the final touches.
"Well we do have something to celebrate with you starting back" Ann beamed proudly as Kim felt slightly embarrassed but loved.
"It feels like it's been so long since we last dined together. You've been so busy lately with work" Kim said slightly disappointed as she helped her finish and took her seat near her.
"Well last night taught me the importance of spending time together and maintaining communication" Ann smiled to a she sat down on the opposite side to her.
"I couldn't agree more," Kim said delighted as this seemed this would help with learning more about her Mom. "Wow this smells lovely, I don't think you cooked something like this before" Kim commented as she examined the really luxurious pasta that her mother made as it looked like high-end quality cooking.
"Well I have been doing more than trying bolder fashion and lifestyles, young lady. I always wanted to try more sophisticated dishes and seeing how it's less picky with just the two of us, it's a perfect time" Ann explained with the first sentence being said in a sassy sarcastic tone.
"Yeah, I'm sorry again Mom" Kim said feeling a little bad as Ann raised a hand up to stop her.
"It's fine Kim, we've already talked about it and I understand how this can be new and confusing for you. But let's not talk about me, this is for you. I want you tell me everything about today" Ann told her sternly but quite caring as she dished out a sizeable portion to Kim.
With that, Kim started to open her Mother about how her day went and while her face she seemed fine, inside, Kim was starting to feel guilty.
It looked like her mother was being a lot more serious and open with her and really trying. She started feel a little guilty about going behind her back investigating like there was something wrong. But she was only doing it cause she loved her and was starting to think deep down inside it was all in her head. But for now she tried to drown all those thoughts and just enjoy this intimacy with just her and her mother.
"Wow that was amazing Mom" Kim beamed feeling filled and satisfied as they finished up their food and deep meaningful conversation.
"Your welcome honey, let's be sure to make time for this more. I think we both really need it" Ann smiled warmly to her as Kim couldn't agree more feeling a to lighter and happier by the end of it.
"Yeah we really need to. Here let me clean up. It's the least I can do to thank you" Kim said not taking no for an answer as she got up and begun to clean up.
"Thank you, sweetie" Ann said not going to stop but instead just sat there staring at Kim until she begun to notice.
"Is something wrong?" Kim asked noticing her as she gathered the dishes.
"You just look very nice and mature in that jacket" Ann complemented her as Kim blushed slightly completely forgetting about it.
"Oh? Thank you. I kind of forgot I had it on. I really like it mom. There was no need for you to treat me with it but it's great" Kim opened up as it felt really nice and even though it was a little hypocritical from how she was like last night, she was glad she tried wearing leather though.
"Well I didn't really think it would be considered a gift. But I'm glad you enjoy it, you look very grown up and womanly in it" Ann complemented her further as it really felt good for Kim to hear for some reason.
"Thanks Mom" Kim uttered feeling herself blush as she felt a bit awkward from it as her mother got up and walked around to her.
"I love you sweetie" Ann smiled giving Kim a quick kiss as she went to walk out of the dining room.
"Are you going to bed?" Kim asked curious as she was enjoying her time and company.
"I'm afraid so. I over did it a bit last night. I'm going to check up on some things in the lab and then get to sleep. Don't stay up late Kimmy" Ann called back as she left the room.
"I won't, night" Kim called back as she got ahead to clean up.
The best way she could describe today was unexpected. After the out burst the previous night Kim didn't think this would be happening. It seemed a little too good be true for some reason, like someone flicked a switch and her old mom was back. Kim folded her arms and thought about this for a bit as she thought a little more. She still had a her suspicions but she soon found it hard to think om it.
Her trail of thought begun to break a part a bit as she felt really unfocused and tired all of a sudden like she was day dreaming or something. It than hit her that she was up as late as her mother, she was probably as tired for her. Kim thought it would just be better to just call it a night and get to bed room.
After finishing the dishes, Kim quickly made her way back to her bedroom as her mind still felt a little foggy on herself. She went to get changed as she found herself hesitating a bit when she was about to take off the leather jacket. Kim took one more minute examining the jacket on her as there was something about that was setting off that hunch, but just as fast as it popped up, it melted away as she felt around it while looking in the mirror.
With that Kim gently took it off and made sure to treat it with great care as she hung it with a hanger as she stripped out of the rest of her clothes with less care deciding to sleep in her underwear. She didn't really have any more thoughts about her investigation or suspicions. In fact, for the first time in a long time, Kim was able to go to bed feeling a lot better and clear minded.
