"So, what'd you think?" Ron asked, breaking the silence as they drove back from NachoCon in the dark.
"Totally worth it!" Kim replied, inserting as much enthusiasm as she could muster. She never lied to Ron, but it would be heartless of her to diminish his enthusiasm if she told the truth. Ron must have fallen for it, since he rambled without break about some revolutionary new Bueno Nacho food he'd tried that was "in serious competition with the Naco."
"See ya tomorrow KP!" Ron hollered as he pulled up at her stop.
"Thanks for the night, Ron. It was fun." That couldn't have been a bigger overstatement. Kim drudged up the stairs to her apartment, fumbled with the keys, and instantly back flopped onto her bed the second she got in. The apartment had been quiet the past couple days. She'd been rooming with Monique until she could find the time to move in with Ron, but with Monique out visiting family for the week, the somewhat depressing silence had been filled up with marathons of "Pals" and the occasional aerobics video. A clunk from outside Kim's window startled her out of her thoughts. She rolled off the bed and cautiously approached the window just as the figure of a woman climbed out.
"Shego, why the hell are you climbing through by window? How do you even know where I live?"
Kim's housebreaker smirked. "I have my ways..." Kim groaned.
"What? Just wanted to make sure you were okay, princess. I know I laid a lot on you tonight." Shego's tone was as sardonic as always, but Kim knew she meant well. Her expression softened.
"So you came here to make sure I was okay?"
Shego looked uncomfortable. "Yeah, look, I don't know what I was thinking back there. Can we just forget I ever said anything?"
Kim couldn't help it, her emotions were getting the better of her. She could keep her feelings bottled up for only so long; even if she wasn't quite sure what those feelings were yet. The trace of a smile crossed her lips.
"What if I don't want to?"
Shego was taken aback, but only for a second. She grabbed Kim by the pants and pulled the girl on top of her.
"Then I won't either." Shego whispered as she slipped her hand up Kim's shirt.
