CHAPTER 4

Drakken watched Shego's expression closely as she lifted the sparkling emerald necklace out of it's box; It was one of excitement and disbelief.
"You like it?" Drakken asked hopefully.
"I- I love it!" Shego stuttered, still gazing at the necklace in wonder. "But how- ?"
"I snuck out last night and stole it for you." Drakken remarked casually. "Oh and I picked this up too..."
He took her hand gently in his and slipped the bracelet over her dainty wrist. "Happy birthday Shego!"
"How did you know?" Shego asked, she was amazed at the gifts Drakken had got for her.
"I have my ways." Drakken replied slyly. the look on his face was so twisted when he said that that Shego laughed out loud.
"Dr. D, I know this is last minute and all, because I have to leave, but, do you want to um... Dance?" Shego held her breath, waiting for an answer.
"You mean like a Valentine's day Dance?" Asked Drakken, he too was holding his breath, he was so nervous.
"Yeah." replied Shego, "I guess you could call it that."
"Oh...I don't dance." muttered Drakken, looking at the ground.
"At all?"
"No. Not since the Bebe incident."
"Oh, yes, I remember." Shego could picture it right then and there and she giggled. "Well then I'll teach you." She walked over to the CD player on the cabinet and put on a slow, soft tune.
"Here." Shego pulled Drakken out of his seat by his hand, and lead him to the middle of the room.
She showed him how to put his hands on her waist, and then she looped her arms around his neck.
They slowly moved around the room and Drakken fingered the shining jewels that were hung around Shego's neck.
"You know, I'm sorry about how harsh I was on you last night." Shego said apologetically. "I guess you can commit a decent crime after all."
"It's alright." Was all Drakken said in reply.
There was a long silence, in which Drakken and Shego continued to dance, moving slowly and gracefully.
Finally, Shego glanced up at the clock and gasped. "Oh no! I'm late for the Senors! I'm sorry, I have to go."
She pulled away from Drakken, but he clasped his hands around her back, pulled her in and kissed her softly. Their lips met for about a second, and then Drakken released her, horrified at what he had just done.
She probably hates me now, he thought, as he watched Shego's reaction; she seemed stunned.
"Uh...I've got to go..." She stuttered, leaving the lair without any further conversation.
Drakken shakily sat down on a chair. What was that? He thought, Is Shego mad at me? No... she seemed OK.
Drakken didn't know what to do. He sighed heavily, and rested his head on the table, closing his eyes.
