Chapter 4 Desert

Shego all but pulled Kim into the waiting limo as John held the door open for the two women. Shego realized that she was a little to enthusiastic in her pulling, unfortunately for her she realized a little to late as the redhead fell in a pile on top of her. Truth be told, Shego didn't mind having the redhead in her lap, Kim on the other hand was highly embarrassed. Her face now burning as red as her hair just made Shego smirk as she enjoyed the view.

Kim stumbled trying to extract herself from her awkward position, which only seemed to amuse Shego even more, who did nothing to help the stumbling young woman. After a few seconds of scrambling and a few unintentional almost gropes, Kim managed to get herself into her own seat, and out of the one Shego was occupying. Kim sat there with her face burning saying nothing and looking anywhere but at Shego, who was sitting there with her legs and arms crossed with look of contentment and amusement. To Kim the silence was a little awkward, but Shego was more then happy with the silence. But seeing how uncomfortable Kim was with what had just happened, Shego decided to let the girl off the hook.

"Kim, I told you already you don't need to feel embarrassed. It was my fault anyway." Shego admitted while sighing.

Kim finally looked over at Shego. Her face starting to return to it's normal peach color, but it was obvious that she was still embarrassed. "Sorry, I know, but it was still ferociously weird."

"Don't apologize." Shego admonished the younger woman, "Anyway, were almost there, so chill out."

"Alright, alright." Kim said putting up her hands in defeat. "So where are we headed?"

"Oh, a nice little coffee shop I know." Shego told her still not giving anything away.

Kim just sighed. "You're hopeless." But despite her seeming irritation and even her earlier embarrassment she was enjoying herself.

It only took a few minutes for the duo to make it to there next stop for the night.

"Where are we?" Kim asked looking in the font window.

"Wolfs run. It's a nice little coffee shop I found a while ago, while they do serve dinner's, it's there deserts there famous for." Shego replied.

"Wow." Was all Kim could muster as John held the door open for the two of them.

"Will there be anything else Miss Shego?" John asked his patron.

"Not for now, we'll probably be about an hour." Shego noticed the look on Kim's face, one of slight irritation and rolled her eyes. "Go have some fun of your own for a while, and put it on one of my cards. I'll send you a message when where about ready to leave." John just nodded as he closed the door behind the women. Kim's look of irritation changing to that of approval, which just made Shego groan inwardly.

A young woman met them just inside the door, "Go. Party of two." Shego told the young woman without waiting to be asked.

"Of course Miss Go. Please fallow me." The young waitress asked, picking up two menus and heading past the booths that filled the front of the little coffee house. The waitress led them to the private booth's in the back, which for some reason didn't surprise Kim. "Can I start you with some drinks." She asked while pulling out her order pad.

"I should have a bottle of St. Supery Mascato 07 chilling." Shego said looking over the desert list.

"Of course Miss Go. I'll be right back." The waitress said before retreating into the kitchen.

Kim had been looking over the dessert list herself as Shego was talking with the waitress. As her eyes went down the list, she just couldn't take in how decadent it all looked. Something Shego had noticed while she was talking to the waitress, "There all as good as they look, and way more then the average person can eat on their own." Shego told the all but drooling redhead across from her.

"What?" Kim started to ask before realizing what Shego had said, then looked up at Shego. "So what do you normally get?" Kim asked the green ex-thief.

"To be honest I don't have anything I normally order." She shrugged. "I still haven't made it though the whole list, and it doesn't help that the list keeps changing."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Kim asked. "Variety being the spice of life and all that."

"Yeah, I suppose it is." Shego relented. "Normally I might say we should just order something to spit, cause neither one of us are going to finish a whole dessert on our own. But if you want we can both order something, so you can try a little of both. In fact, why won't we do that. I think I want to have a little of more then one myself." Shego said, making Kim giggle.

The waitress came back with the promised bottle of wine and glasses, pouring a generous amount into both women's glasses after carefully popping the cork. "What would you ladies like this evening?" She asked, once again pulling out her order pad. Kim ordered a raspberry chocolate moose cake, while Shego ordered the espresso brownie sundae. The waitress took there order and was about to leave when Shego stopped her.

"Miss, music?" Shego asked looking at her.

"Of course. Anything specific?"

"Classical would be fine." Shego replied.

"Of course." The waitress said before returning to the kitchen with there order.

About a minute later Mozart could be heard softly playing in the background. Once the music started, Shego closed her eyes for a few minutes, letting her ears drink in the soft melody.

Kim sat there watching in wonder. She liked classical herself but wasn't something she listened to a lot. Even more then the music though, Kim enjoyed sitting there watching the raven haired beauty as she was swept away in the music.

It took a few minutes before Shego even realized she drifted off, let alone that she was being watched. "Sorry." Shego said with a small smile on her face. "Can't believe I'm going to tell you this, but music is once of my little vices." A light jade staining her usually pail cheeks, something Kim would tell you was extremely exotic. Seeing a woman with green skin blush was very different and very unique. It was definitely an experience she wouldn't have given up for anything, so of course Kim had a huge grin on her face. Shego just tossed a napkin in Kim's face once she saw the smirk forming on the redhead. "Don't get use to it."

"What?" Kim asked innocently, taking a sip of her wine.

"You know very well what." Shego responded playfully, taking a sip of her own drink.

"To bad, cause that's the point of dating isn't it? Learning about the other person?" Kim looked at Shego intently, pointedly waiting for a response.

"What ever." Was Shego's reply, but Kim just kept sitting there looking at Shego, waiting. Occasionally sipping her wine. Shego counted herself lucky the moment the waitress arrived with there deserts, thinking her interrogator would forget her line of questioning. Her respite was only for those few moments as the waitress came and left. Once she was gone, Kim returned to her watching Shego, ignoring her dessert for the moment, still waiting for a real response. To say it was making Shego a little uncomfortable would be an understatement and an impressive feat. Anyone that knew Shego as a friend, co-worker, or more likely an enemy, would tell you that she was unshakable. So for anyone to make her feel uncomfortable is a monumental feat, one she knew she would never let herself live down.

"Fine." Shego huffed after the girls gaze became to much. "I won't promise I'll answer all your questions but you can ask." She said leaning back in her chair, and taking a rather large drink of her wine. "But I'm not letting my ice cream melt." She said picking up a spoon to dig in to her brownie sundae Kim just giggled, picking up her fork to try the raspberry chocolate moose cake in front of her.

Kim took a bite, instantly moaning in pleasure. "This is divine." She told the raven haired women across from her.

"How many times do I have to tell you Doy tonight?" Shego replayed, her playfulness returning.

Kim rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, only the best for Shego."

"Good, your learning." Shego jibed, taking another bite of her brownie.

"Hows the brownie?" Kim inquired, carefully eying the brownie.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Shego asked going to take another bite.

"I thought the whole reason we both ordered was to share?" Kim said tying not to sound to much like she was pouting, yet.

"Maybe I changed my mind." Shego said taking another sip of her wine. When she set her glass down she saw what had to be the most evil thing ever to pass before her eyes.

Kim's bottom lip was stuck out and quivering, her eyes wide and slightly watery. It was her infamous puppy dog pout. Shego closed her eyes and looked away in disgust. "God! I was kidding, put that thing away!" She demanded, not looking back until she felt sure the redhead had holstered her weapon "And you call me evil." Shego said finally looking back across the table.

"What?" Kim said with an innocent smile on her face.

"You know very well what! You spoiled brat." Shego said playfully.

"I am not a spoiled brat, I just know how to get what I want." Kim responded, still smiling.

"Isn't that the definition?" Shego retorted with a quirked eyebrow.

"Don't know, never looked it up. Now are you going to give me a bite or not." She asked eying Shego's dessert again.

Shego sighed and rolled her eye's. "All right you little brat." She said taking a spoon full and offering it to Kim.

Kim closed her eyes and opened her mouth, waiting for the offered bite. Shego gently placed the spoon on the girls tongue and watched Kim's face as the flavors washed over her.

Even while watching Kim, Shego leaned over and stole a bite of Kim's cake. If she had to guess, her face probably looked about the same as Kim's as she enjoyed the flavors of the dessert. In her mind there was only one thing that could make it better and she decided to take a chance.

Shego leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Kim's lips.

Kim's eyes shot open, while it took her a second for her brain to accept what just happened, she knew what was going on. Shego had kissed her and she was pretty sure she liked it. But she also knew she wasn't ready for it, her face burned red and she turned away from the woman that just kissed her.

Shego looked at Kim, and quickly realized it might have been to soon to make a move on the redhead. All she could think was 'Crap. Blew that one good didn't you Shego.'

For the moment, Shego was at a loss of what to do. But she knew she would have to do something fast or this was really going to be bad.

"Kim." Shego started gently, wanting to get the girl's attention before she continued. Kim shyly turned to look at Shego, her face still burning crimson. Shego continued just as gently. "I'm sorry. I should have asked you. I..." Shego didn't get to finish her sentence before a gentle finger was placed her lips.

"It's...OK It was nice. Just really...unexpected." Kim confessed quietly.

Shego knew at this point the mood for dessert was ruined. She discreetly pulled out her cell and sent a quick message for John to come get them, hoping the night wasn't a loss.

Shego knew when to talk and when it was best to say nothing. Quickly deciding this was the time for the latter, they spent the last few minutes of dessert in an almost comfortable salience. When her phone vibrated, she didn't even bother checking it. Shego just got up and offered Kim her hand, who gingerly took it. By the time they were both standing, Kim was glad for the added support. The kiss had done more then it seemed to the young woman, her knees felt like jello. Having a hard time walking and concentrating, without the woman in front of her to guide her she would have never made it out of the restaurant without running into at least three tables.

Shego lead Kim out through the restaurant to the waiting limo. This struck Kim as slightly odd, though with her mind racing like it was, it wasn't until they were seated in the car and driving off that she figured out what seemed wrong.

"Shego, please tell me you didn't just run out on the bill?" Kim questioned, managing to find her voice.

Shego just rolled her eyes. "Never had a personal assistant have you." Was all she said, thinking it was all that was needed.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Shego was wrong.

"Did you not notice how I just walked you out, straight to the car?" Shego asked the befuddled redhead.

"Yeah, that's why I'm asking? Whats does that have to do with having a personal assistant?" Kim still didn't get it, Shego sighed.

"I guess I'll have to spell it out for you. Personal assistance are there to do things like pay the bill for you, by the time I had stood up, the bill was payed for and before you ask, yes he knows to tip the waitress well for me."

"Oh." Kim said now that she got it, sliding back into her seat, her thoughts returning to the kiss.

Despite the boring conversation, Shego was glad that Kim was talking again, taking it as a good sign. But now she knew she had to go slower if she wanted any real chance with Kim.

"So...are you up for anything else? Or are you ready to call it a night?" Shego dared ask, preparing herself for any possible answer.

"Um, what else you have planned." Kim asked shyly, her right hand slowly moving up and down the opposite arm showing her nervousness.

"Actually, I was thinking a movie or just sit in front of the fireplace back at my place and talk." Shego said hopefully.

Kim didn't say anything right away, taking her time with her answer. Unintentionally making Shego nervous.

"That actually sounds really nice." Kim finally responded in a mousy voice, her face a little red. Though not as crimson as it had been earlier.

Shego smirked outwardly, inwardly she was grinning like the Cheshire cat. Unnoticed to the redhead, she pushed a button on her console, informing John to take them back to the penthouse.

Shego decided to make a smaller chance before placing her hand on Kim's. Kim flinched slightly which worried Shego. When she felt Kim relax, not pulling her hand away she felt like she won the lottery. The remainder of the ride to Shego's penthouse was spent in silence, this time a comfortable one shared by the two women.
