The illumination was caught by Shego's diamond choker and Drakken gasped when he caught his first full glimpse of her. It didn't look like his associate standing in front of him, more like witnessing seeing a goddess. Everything about her looked flawless sort of like a dark angel. Drakken questioned why Shego was even dressed like this, it wasn't like her. Drakken had never seen her wear a dress, or jewelry. The high heels were really odd. She was even wearing a small amount of make-up, just enough to highlight her features but he still liked it, and the important thing was she was still Shego.
Shego noticed Drakken's mouth hanging open and she snapped her fingers in front of his face. Drakken's blinked then smiled at her, "You look. . ." Drakken hesitated but Shego looked at him so hopefully he gulped out the word, "Nice." Shego laughed a very fake laugh, and kind of looked a bit disappointed. "Come, let's go find our table."
* * * * *
Shego had booked the best table in the restaurant; it was outdoors, on the deck. It had the best view of the sunset in the whole restaurant. Drakken stood until Shego took her seat. 'This really will be fun.' Drakken thought, remembering what Shego wrote in the invitation. A plump teenage waitress handed each of them a menu, and asked them what the wanted to drink patiently. Shego browsed the drinks section and was delighted to find her favorite drink, "I'll have coffee, I'd like it black." Drakken said ordering first. Shego could tell the waitress was new to the job as she anxiously scribbled down the order. "And you?" "A Shirley Temple." Shego purred softly. "Alrighty then." The waitress started walking off as she continued to write down orders. Service wasn't the best here but the place felt like home, and right now. Shego barely had one.
Drakken twisted his fingers as Shego delicately placed her cloth napkin her lap. Then the two caught each other in the eye and neither stopped gazing. 'Well, this is just peachy.' Shego thought trying to figure out what to say, it was her invite after all. "Well," Shego began as Drakken looked intently at her, which just made Shego more jumpy. "Well, Drakken --- I imagine you're wondering. why I invited you here." Drakken nodded silently, 'Well duh.' Drakken's thoughts screamed.
Shego bit her lips trying to get out the words she wanted to say, it was so hard to ask for forgiveness. She wasn't used to it, she had never ever apologized to anyone in her life. Before Shego could utter a word, the waitress placed the drinks in front her of which Drakken took advantage of right away. The waitress took out her little pad, "Are you ready to order yet?" Shego shook her head and shooed her off. "As I was saying. . ." Shego continued trying to find the right words, but they just slipped out, "I'm sorry Drakken." She said sincerely. Simple, but with a bit of luck, he would forgive her. Drakken didn't say anything he just tilted his head and wondered if this meant she wanted to work of him again. "I found out that, you never did anything. And I feel so utterly terrible for accusing you."
Drakken almost wanted to get out of his chair, and jump around hysterically. Shego wasn't angry at him anymore! It was clearly, the best day he had had all week. "So, I'm treating you to dinner as an apology. And I feel really very bad about it." Shego said her voice sort of fading out. "All is forgiven Shego." Drakken took a sip of his coffee. It was fantastic or maybe it was just her. "Thank-you." Shego said sweetly as she stirred around the straw in her drink.
Drakken looked back at Shego's evergreen eyes again. It was unbelievable, everything was so unbelievable. Weeks ago he saw Shego nothing more than he saw one of his own creations. Drakken regretted how he had disregarded her the whole time. Across from him now was a woman. A woman who had emotions and thoughts. A woman who cared about other people. And a woman who made mistakes. This woman he was looking at right now was Shego. Shego, the one whom he had only cared for her skills until this very moment in time. Maybe, the whole world wasn't worth what was right across from him. Perhaps it was just what he had wanted all along.
Drakken closed his eyes and opened them once again to Shego's face, still smiling back at him. Drakken now knew that that woman had more than glowing chemical gloves, and the will of an army; Shego had the power to take his breath away.
Drakken felt it again and knew this time, he couldn't deny it.
He had fallen for Shego.
