Chapter 3 The date

Kim walked into the club expecting to see Shego waiting at the bar, or one of the tables near the bar. Or was that what she expected? She wasn't sure, in any case, she was wrong. Kim was met at the door by a young man in a well cut charcoal black Italian three piece suit. The man was slightly taller then Kim and kept a well trimmed goatee, his brown hair also well cut and short.

"Miss. Possible?" He asked.

"Call me Kim. You are?",

"Just call me John. Your host asked me to meet you this evening." Kim looked at him with a slightly confused look on her face. "She didn't stand you up I promise, she wanted me to take you to her table." He said smiling and gesturing the young woman to follow him.

"Oh, I figured she would have met me at the bar or something. She really only told me to meet her here." Kim responded, still slightly confused and very nervous.

"Not Shego." He said leading to the back of the club. "Even in the short time I've been working for her I've learned that she pull's out all the stops when she want's someones attention, and she doesn't do it often let me assure you."

Kim was a little taken aback at what the young man said. He was taking her to the back of the club, she hadn't been to the back of the club, she passed through a door marked private, then up a spiral staircase. Kim hadn't even realized that the place had a second story, let alone that it apparently had private rooms. But she had only been here the first time last week, so it really wasn't a surprise that she didn't know about it. He lead her up, then to the end of a short hall with a few doors to one side, finally moving to the last door on the right.

John opened the door for his patron's guest and wished her his best before closing the door behind her. In front of Kim was a fairly large private suite, on the opposite side of the room was a floor to ceiling, wall to wall window that overlooked the main stage and dance floor of the club below. Which Kim quickly realized must be a one way mirror to give the occupants of the booth privacy and why she never realized there was a second story or private booths. 'Shows you how much you pay attention Possible.' The hero mentally berated herself.

On the wall to her left was a small bar area that looked fully stocked. Dominating the center of the suite was a giant black suede half moon couch. The couch sat in front of an equally massive black marble coffee table, the vantage point allowing the couch's occupants to look down on the action on the dance floor below.

Seated in the center was Shego, only the back of her head and her ebony mane visible. "Come on in Princes." Shego's sultry voice said from her place on the couch.

Kim took a deep breath to steady her nerves before making the plunge, slowly heading over to join her host for the evening. Kim walked around the side of the couch to see Shego sitting comfortably, a drink in one hand, her right leg crossed enticingly over her left, showing off a good deal of leg to anyone who would have been aloud to see and live. As Kim looked Shego up and down she noticed how easy Shego made it seem to look so hot in a simple dark emerald dress.

"Close your mouth Kimmy. You'll attract flies." Shego said with a hint of teasing in her voice from behind a playful smirk.

Kim shut her mouth finally realizing that she had been standing there with it wide open. Then blushed furiously.

"Have a seat Pumpkin, I wont bite. That comes later..." The last coming out in a sultry tone, while Shego took her turn looking Kim up and down. Noticing that Kim could be sexy, even if she was completely oblivious of the fact. Kim slowly made her way to the couch and sat down next to Shego. Sitting there in silence, as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Shego offered Kim a drink. "Calm down Kim. Nothing will happen here that you don't want to happen." Shego softly told the redhead, knowing how nervous she must be.

"Thanks. This is a little new for me and just a bit overwhelming, if I think about it to much I start to freak out. I've never done anything like this before." She said taking the offered drink and taking a sip, quickly noticing that Shego had made them red headed sluts, which caused her to laugh nervously.

"What you've never been out with a nice person before?" Shego asked in mock indigence.

"Yes, I have. It's just that your…" She said, or at least attempted to while tripping over her own tongue and did her best not to freak out.

"I'm what? Aren't I a nice person?" She asked, still feigning indigence from behind her sexy smirk, trying to get Kim to relax.

"Oh no." Kim started tripping over her tongue again, rubbing the wrist holding her drink and trying to get her brain to work, but failing.

"So I'm not a nice person?" Shego asked dropping her free hand to her waist to add to her look of indignation as she coaxed the red head into relaxing.

"OK, I'm going to shut up and drink before I say anything even more stupid." Kim said taking a long sip of her drink.

"Good answer." Shego snicked softly. "Now calm down. I figured you've never been out with a woman before so I booked one of the clubs private suites." She said waiving her arm to embellish her point. "It's just the two of us. No one to impress or feel embarrassed around."

Kim had to scoff at the last statement. "Shego, the Shego passing up a chance to tease and torment Kim Possible?" Kim gave Shego a sideways look and added, "That's not the Shego I know. Who are you and what have you done with the real Shego?" Kim asked in a playful tone.

"Oh don't worry Cupcake, I'll tease and torment you plenty tonight." Shego said sexily. "But what happens here is defiantly just for the two of us. But like I said earlier, that comes later..." She added, letting her voice trail off while giving Kim a wink.

Kim gulped, suddenly feeling like the canary the cat was stalking and took another healthy drink of the glass in her hand. Which did not go unnoticed by Shego who smiled but said nothing.

"So um, what exactly do you have planned for the evening." Kim asked hesitantly, worrying about just what Shego might have in mind.

"Oh, this and that. I guess you'll just have to hang around to find out, won't you Pumpkin?" Shego said taking a drink of her own glass.

"Why did I think I would get a straight answer from you?" Kim sighed.

"Don't know. But for starters I've ordered dinner, it should be up soon. In the mean time we can enjoy our drinks, some music, maybe some dancing, some more drinks." She said shifting her glass so the ice clinked against the side.

"Are you trying to get me drunk so you can take advantage of me." Kim asked feigning shock, pressing the back of her hand against her forehead.

"No, I could have done that last weekend." She easily retorted with her trademark smirk and wink, which cased Kim to blush furiously. 'I think I like seeing her that way' Shego thought to herself after seeing Kim blush up close for the first time. "To reiterate, you'll will be fully aware when I have my way with you. At least the first time." Shego added almost as an after thought hoping to get Kim to blush again. Much to her amusement, it worked.

Kim simply blushed, refusing to acknowledge what Shego had just implied. Which was just as well, as there was a knock at the door to there suite indicating that there dinner had arrived, much to Kim's relief.

The food was brought in and set in front of the women by the same young man that had escorted Kim to the suite. "Will there be anything else Miss Go?" John asked from in front of the seated women.

"Refill our drinks, I'll call you if we need anything else." Shego said dismissively. Kim was viably bothered with the way the pale woman talked to the young man, though John seemed not to notice as he pored the drinks. Then quietly made his way out.

"Rude much?" Kim asked after the man left the room.

"What?" Shego asked in genuine innocence, unaware of what she just did.

"You were totally rude to the guy. He's been nothing but nice since I met him." Kim continued becoming slightly animated at Shego's apparent indifference.

Shego had to replay the last few minutes in her mind before she even understood what Kim was talking about. "Oh, that's just John. He's been my personal assistant for a little while now, he's learning how I am and how I like things done."

"That's no excuse for not being polite." Kim continued to berate the green women.

"I pay him a ton of money, beside you know me Kim. For me, that was polite." Shego retorted.

"Fine." Kim relented. "But you could still be a little more polite." She mumbled, to which Shego just sighed.

"Moving along. Dinner?" Shego asked motioning to the spread of food getting cold in front of them.

"Oh. What did you order us?" Kim asked, her attention quickly shifting to the wonderful smelling food setting in front of them.

"Korean. Lots of little cold appetizer/salad type stuff. Some teriyaki chicken, beef bulgogi, kimichi, seaweed, pickled radishes" Shego responded, motioning towards some of the different dishes.

"I've never had Korean before." Kim said eagerly looking over the dishes, noticing the chicken and beef were still sizzling in there pans.

"Which is funny, cause the buffoon is like some kind of iron chef, isn't he? But I bet the only place he ever took you to on your dates was the garbage Mexican place." Shego stated more then asked.

"We'll, he did take me out to a nice place once." Kim said, obviously tying to defend her best friend, while reaching for a pair of chopsticks, which to Kim surprise were not the cheep wood verity that inhabit most fast food Chinese restaurants. These were polished bamboo, carefully worked and intricately painted.

"Yeah but I seem to remember hearing something about him making you eat off the kids menu, then paying with coupons or something?" She half asked, noticing Kim's fascination of the ornate set of chop sticks. "No stealing the flatware." Shego said sarcastically to the fascinated red head.

"What? Sorry." Kim said returning her attention to her host. "I've just never seen such a nice set of chopsticks." She said honestly.

"Not all chopsticks look like they were chopped out of a random chunk of wood. I pick up a pair every time I'm in the orient." Shego said examining her own pair before taking a bite of the food in front of her. Then noticed the look on Kim's face. "Yes I bought them before you accuse me of stealing chopsticks."

"Well I never have time to pick up souvenirs when I'm in the orient, or anywhere else for that matter. I'm always chasing you." Kim said emphasizing her point by pointing her chopsticks at Shego. "It's reasonable that someone could assume that you might have lifted them on the side of a bigger job." She finished, shrugging her shoulders in mock innocence.

"You know what happens to someone when they assume, don't ya?" Shego said quirking her eyebrow, taking another small bight of her food. "Oh, and pointing with your chopsticks is extremely rude."

Kim just harrumphed before finally taking a bite of the spread in front of her. "This is really good." She said, slowly savoring the taste of the food in her mouth.

"Doy." Was all Shego told her.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Kim asked raising her eyebrow, but enjoying her food.

"Doy, as in it's me. Do you think I would settle for anything less then the best?"

"Point taken." Kim said enjoying her meal and the conversation. "So what are you doing now that your not working for Drakken anymore? Your not working for Drakken anymore, right?" Kim asked making it obvious there was only one correct answer.

"No, I don't work for the 'Great Blue idiot' anymore." She said with more then a little relief. "It was fun for a while, but I got sick of saving his ass all the time, having to break him out of jail and oh god the whining..."

"That still doesn't answer the question of what you do with your free time, or how you make a living."

"I do what I want. Even before going evil I've had a healthy bank account, so I've never really had to work. Anything I do, I do for the fun of it. Generally I stop when it stops being fun for me." Shego said putting down her chop sticks and standing up. "Speaking of fun I feel like dancing, join me." She said reaching out her hand to the sitting a red head.

"Is that a request or an order?" Kim asked pointedly not talking the offered hand, to which Shego sighed.

"You know me well enough to know this is me being nice Princes, dance with me." She's eyes revealing a hint of an unidentifiable emotion.

"OK, I think I could dance for a little while." Kim said taking the hand in front of her while setting down her chopsticks. "Are we going to go down to the dance floor?"

"No." Shego replied, picking up a remote from the table and pushing a button, causing the room to be flooded with music. As far as Kim could tell it was the same music that was being played on the dance floor below.

"Wow, this place has everything." Kim observed in wonder.

"Not yet, but by the time my contractor gets done with the place it will." Shego said leading Kim near the window, her hips swaying ever so slightly to the beat of the fast paced music.

Kim's jaw worked for a second before she could regain her composer, seeing Shego in this new light was very weird for the ginger super hero. But she quickly discovered, she liked it. She liked this seemingly soft and sensitive Shego, even if she was still a little rough around the edges. The music was fast, with a good beat, easy to listen to and fun to dance with. Kim discovered that she liked to sway to the music across from the raven haired woman in front of her, who she would admit knew how to sway. Their martial arts training giving them both some added flexibility on the dance floor. Kim was entranced with the woman dancing with her, watching the swish of her hips. They way she moved her arms with the music, moving closer to the redhead as she moved only to retreat as the beat changed.

After several song's the music slowed down considerably and Shego started for her seat at the couch.

Kim looked at Shego from her place near the window like she had a question. But wasn't sure how to ask, or if she even had the guts. In the end the decision was taken from her.

"Penny for your thoughts Kimmy." Shego's sultry voice floated across the room snaking it's way through the slow steady rhythm, her hand reaching for the remote to lessen the volume as she seated herself once again on the comfortable couch.

"Well…um…Its just that…I thought…" Kim just kept tripping over her own tongue, never quite being able to get her thoughts out. Or keeping up the nerve to say what was on her mind.

"Cat got your tongue Pumpkin?" Shego asked rhetorically, Kim's face just reddened in response. "Let me see if I can read your mind, shall I?" Shego asked while closing her eyes and slowly messaging her temples. "I think your wondering why I didn't ask you to take a slow dance with me." She said opening her eyes, and dropping her hands to her lap.

"Um…kinda…" Kim responded. Her face going even redder (if that where possible). Tentatively returning to her seat next to Shego.

"If you tell anyone what I'm about to tell you and I mean anyone, I will hurt you." She emphasized seriously to Kim with a look on her face that said she just might do it. Once she felt she had got her point across she continued. "I know what it was like the first time I went on a date with another woman. So I do have some idea what you must be feeling now. I remember it being more then a little weird, like I was deer in the head lights. So I figured I'd take it easy on you for now."

"Wow Shego. That's really, nice of you."

"Yeah well. Like I said, don't spread it around. It would ruin my rep." She said crossing her arms, and looking away, trying to act like nothing meaningful had just happened.

Kim leaned back, and crossed her own arms. Taking a good look at the green woman in front of her. "You know Shego, I think your bad ass image is just a front."

Shego picked up her class from the table and took a long swing of her drink, but said nothing.

"And I think, you might let me see who you really are." Kim stated with confidence, causing Shego to splutter.

"Fat chance of that happening Miss Priss."

Kim just smiled, making Shego scowl, but she knew she was right. She didn't know why, but she just knew.

"So can I ask what your first time was like?" Kim dared to ask Shego.

Shego decided to play ignorance for the moment. "My first time for what?"

Kim sighed, though she should have seen a cryptic answer like that coming from Shego. "Your first time going out with a girl?"

Shego sighed, she should have known that mentioning anything about her personal life to the redhead was going to make her curious. "If I refuse to answer?" Shego replied.

Much to Shego's surprise, Kim looked at Shego intently for more then a few moments before answering. "Well, I'm really curious about it, cause this is a whole new thing for me and I want to get to know the real you. But if I'm really going to give this and you a chance, I have to respect your right to privacy."

Shego sat there for a minute digesting what Kim had just said to her and the look on the younger woman's face, a look of pure honesty. Then with genuine sincerity she responded. "I'm not going to go into all the gory details, but for now I'll tell you she was cute and it was more then a little weird, it was also very exciting. Despite all the weirdness and the way it ended." She stopped to think for a second. "It was fun and worth it, If only for the experience."

"Really?" Kim asked.

"Doy." Shego said looking a little annoyed at Kim's skepticism. Which despite Kim's normal obliviousness, did not go unnoticed by her.

"Sorry Shego, I didn't mean to offend you." Kim confessed, reaching over to put her hand on Shego's, surprising them both.

Shego looked at the soft light pink hand resting on her own pale green one, then relaxed slightly. "I guess it's OK So I guess it's time for desert." Shego said while standing, not letting go of Kim's hand and pulling her along behind her.

"Where are we going?" Kim asked while allowing herself to be lead by the unusual woman in front of her.

"It's a surprise doy." Shego replied in her usual cryptic tone with a smirk on her face. She led Kim back down through the club, picking up John on the way, who led them out the back to a waiting limo.
