Chapter 2:
That was sufficiently awkward Kim thought as she finished talk with Kyle, now her ex-boyfriend. Technology was great and all but some things were better done in person and Kim firmly believed a breakup was one of those moments. She texted Kyle they should meet and discuss and after a very awkward and painful talk they left on better terms. He found he wasn't interested anymore and had moved on.
Kim sighed to herself. She was at the local cafe trying to study after the conversation with Kyle. That proved a fruitless effort... she supposed she saw this coming. Something had felt off for a month or so and Kim thought that if she could get some of the spark back in their relationship perhaps it would help rekindle what was there. Obviously he never got the text message and it seems like the problem was deeper than sexual attraction. Or perhaps lack of attraction?
Sipping on her pumpkin spiced latte, Kim tried to clear her mind and focus on the next midterm she had in two days. Her phone buzzed on the table and Kim opened it without really focusing on anything, she was looking for a distraction from her current thoughts.
"Nerdlinger still fighting your battles for you? Awww Kimmie, I'm proud, I didn't know you had it in you to be an evil tease."
Kim coughed and sent some pumpkin latte over her books. She completely forgot about breakup completely dominated her mind and she wasn't even thinking who got the picture text just that it didn't work. Kim reread the text scowling to herself. Was it just her... but it seemed like Shego was flirting with her.
Dating had brought new perspective to Kim Possible's cognizance to flirty behavior. Instead of being blissfully unaware of when someone was flirting with the redhead she began to pick up the subtle hints that came from experience and experimentation. Thinking back on it, Kim wondered if Shego had been mocking her or flirting with her. It was a hard distinction to make. It felt like she was in elementary school all over again where the little boys made fun of the girls they had crushes on. But Kim didn't put it past Shego to actually mock her and tease her without any meaning behind it.
Disconcerted with this new idea blooming in the young woman's mind, she decided to test the waters a bit with her theory. After all she was a scientist, she needed to experiment to find answers to her hypothesis. Kim Possible would play along; she'd bite to Shego's bait. What harm would that be? Plus the hero couldn't let Shego have the last word anyway. They were always in a verbal battle as well as physical. She wasn't going to lose to Shego, even in mocking text form.
"I must have learned it from you."
"Girlfriend, he broke up with you!?" Monique exclaimed out loud to the entire population at Bueno Nacho alarming some of the customers around her.
"Monique!" Kim cried out exasperated, then lowered her voice "Well I thought something was a little off with us lately and I guess he wasn't having the same feelings for me anymore."
"I thought you said he was different?
"I thought he WAS different..." Kim sighed, she had not had much luck in the past with keeping a boyfriend who was ok with her occasional save the world schedule, college driven focus, and her independence.
Monique sighed and took a sip of her drink, "Girl if you can't keep a boyfriend how are the rest of us supposed to?"
"Please Monique, so not the drama..." Kim laughed a little at her old and warm catch phrase, "I mean there are always other options."
"Weren't you going to do something special for him? I remember you said you were planning something." Monique asked.
The red head frowned, "You see..." Kim started not really sure where to begin. "Do you remember that weird text thing that went down a week or so ago?"
"Yeah! I got some weird numbers texted to me at work." Monique chimed in, looking at her phone and pulling up the text in question. Kim blinked feeling something similar to worry in the pit of her stomach. There was something very familiar with the random numbers and letters.
"Kim? Hello? Girlfriend?" Monique waved her phone in front of Kim's concentrated face, "You ok?"
"Wha? Oh, no no I'm fine just thinking sorry where was I?" Kim mumbled blinking rapidly into reality again, "Oh right so I sent Kyle some... some risque photos in hopes to spark some of the passion back." Kim nearly whispered blushed madly at the end.
Monique stared at her.
"I-It wasn't anything THAT bad!" Kim quickly tried to amend her statement based on the horrified look on Monique's face, "Just you know he said I wasn't... adventurous enough... umm with that stuff..." Her friend's mouth continued to gape at the redhead, "I'm just going to stop talking now."
Silence... just silence...
Kim coughed, her face still burning.
Silence.
She started thinking she broke Monique somehow.
"You're saying you sent Kyle sexypics?" Monique finally sputtered out after what seemed like a decade for Kim.
"I don't know if they were really... s-s-risque or anything..." Kim huffed burning brighter red if possible, "Can we move on? There is more to the story."
"Ok, but girl you had better start explaining!"
Kim took a deep breath and put her face in her hands as she recalled the rest, "I must have sent that text when all the texts were getting messed up and... well Kyle never received them."
"So where did they go?" Monique gasped, trying not to laugh, somehow this story was getting ridiculous... even for Kim Possible.
Kim groaned, "Shego..." she barely whispered her face now completely in her hands.
"What?" Monique asked, not hearing at all what Kim was saying through her hands.
"Shego."
"Oh. Ohhhhh!" Her eyes shot wide open in understanding, "Wait how do you know?"
"She replied to the text, and Wade tracked it down to Shego." Kim explained, plus she called me princess...
"So Shego got your sexy nudes? What did she say?" Monique demanded, this was so much better than the tv show she was catching up on.
"She just teased me about it," Kim blushed thinking about how absurd the situation was turning out to be.
"And what did you say back girl?"
"I-I dunno something about learning to tease from her?"
"Girl you are so flirtingwith her!" Monique exclaimed, "and I thought it was odd that you had a picture of her in your locker in HS. Oooo this is so good, what did she say back?"
"I am not!" Kim huffed, "She hasn't texted back yet!" Kim exclaimed as if she was right about something.
"Ooo I can't wait I bet she'll say something snarky and good!" Monique reeled not detoured from her new drama fix.
"Monique!" Kim gasped, "There is nothing-"
"Nothing going on between you and Shego whom you sent sexypics?" Monique interrupted with a smirk on her face that made Kim want to growl.
"Yes! Nothing is going on!" Kim yelled, causing the entire restaurant to stare down their table.
"Uh huh," Monique sarcastically agreed.
"Nothing is-"
Beep Beep, Kim's phone chirped twice to indicate she received a text. She pulled it open with Monique trying peer at the message.
Princess, you would know if I'm teasing. I at least show some nipples with breasts.
Oh Shego... so blunt.
