Ch.57
Yori woke up a few hours after Ron left her in the bed. When she looked around she found Ron next to her, his arm around her waist and smiled. He was asleep but still managed to make her heart race.
As she looked closely at Ron, Yori noticed the changes he was undergoing. His freckles were fading and his body had been honed and toned. His presence and constant 'Ronshine' was soothing to the point it was addictive.
As Yori looked at Ron in his sleep she noticed her hunger and noticed the food and a couple notes on the nightstand. Turning on the light to see clearly after leaving the bed she read the notes. 'Yori I'll be in the lab, hope you rested well. Love Ron.' And 'Here's some Italian, hope you like it Ron.'
Yori touched the container and noticed that it still had some warmth, meaning it wasn't long since Ron went to sleep. Smiling she ate and went to her room to get her night clothes seeing as she was completely naked. Now with one of Ron's jerseys covering her form she laid down next to him and put her head on his chest to listen to his heart beat before going to sleep.
Yori didn't know how long she listened to the steady rythm of Ron's heart but it was daytime when she noticed it change.
"Morning, Ron-san." Yori greeted.
"Morning, beautiful. Did you sleep well?" Ron greeted and ask.
"Very much so, thanks to you." Yori admits.
Blushing, Ron kisses Yori before sitting up and starting to get ready. This became the norm on how they started their day.
Shego woke up and sighed. She had been doing that a lot over the past few days. She looked around the lair and couldn't wait to go back home Friday to see Ron and Yori.
Shego went about her morning activities before getting dressed in her trademark suit and started towards the lair's kitchen. Spotting Drakken she greeted. "Hey Dr. D."
As for Drakken, the guy has been eagerly awaiting a package the last few days as he went over his schemes. Hearing Shego's greeting he replies. "Good morning, Shego. I hope you're well rested since I'll need you to steal some supplies."
"Get me a list Dr. D and I'll see what I find." Shego said eager to get the next heist into motion.
After a while, Drakken hands Shego a list that practically requires she shop at a chem lab and Shego got to work.
Bonnie and Tara had a sleep over the day before with a few of the cheer squad members, Kim obviously excluded.
The cheer squad questioned Bonnie on her break up with Brick and Bonnie explained that it wasn't working between the two. Then they asked Tara if she was finally making a move on someone seeing as she been working on new hairstyles with the girls all night.
"I'm going to make a move on Ron." Tara declared and the girls sharply inhaled in response while turning to look at Bonnie.
"She had my support." Bonnie said effectively shutting down their brains and answering the unspoken question.
The girls reigned in their shock and bombarded the two with questions, especially Bonnie because her long term put downs of Ron. Just past 1am, Tonnie, Bonnie's mom came over in a very revealing nightie and asked the girls to quiet down.
"Sorry mom, we'll keep it down." Bonnie quickly said not surprised with what her mom was wearing.
Tara, though not the first time seeing Tonnie in such an outfit, blushed at the sheer sensuality that she exuded.
The girls lowered their voice after Tonnie left but the atmosphere seemed to have changed. Aside from Bonnie and Tara the girls were looking at their bodies and comparing themselves to Tonnie.
"What's your mom's secret to looking like that at her age?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah, tell us." Marcella and Hope echoed.
"Please." Added Jessica.
Liz's eyes were hopeful as they looked at Bonnie. What happened next was a blissful torture for Bonnie that even Tara joined in. Though the information the got was useless at one point it didn't matter anymore.
Monique was in a bad mood. Scratch that, she was pissed. Last night was supposed to be her chance to tutor Ron but she got stuck pulling a double shift for a sick coworker. She had let Ron know with plenty of time but the missed opportunity was something she couldn't come to terms with.
Still, Monique planned to surprise him today and stop by. She even went by Bueno Nacho and got something for them to eat.
As she arrived at the Stoppable's Monique pulled out her phone and called Ron.
"Hey Mon, what's up?" Ron said upon answering.
"Not much baby boy just thought I'd stop by today if you don't mind." Monique explained.
"That's great. When are you planning to drop by?" Ron asked.
"How about now? I brought breakfast for you and Yori." Monique said with a mischievous smile.
"Okay, great. I'll send Yori to let you in, my hands are kind of tied at the moment." Ron said.
"Great I'll wait by the door." Monique agreed.
To Monique's surprise Yori didn't come from the door she expected but from the garage.
"Good morning, Monique-san." Yori greeted.
"Morning, Yori. Didn't expect to see you come out of the garage." Monique admits.
"Ron-san is at the lab, he's been spending a lot of time there since it was completed. Though he wants to keep it a secret for the time being." Yori explained as she led the way back to the lab.
"Okay, not a word." Monique agreed stepping onto the lift.
Moments later Monique got to see the lab and couldn't help gasping. It was state of the art and from the looks of things custom made. She spotted Felix and his mom to the side working on something and Ron towards the back in front of a computer.
"I don't think I brought enough food." Monique comments.
"Cheese." Rufus made his entrance climbing onto Monique.
"Don't worry Rufus, I made sure to get you a Naco with extra cheese, grande size." Monique announced.
Turns out there was enough food for all of them. Ron and Rufus just didn't get extra.
Monique had been given the tour by Yori as Ron, Felix and Mrs. Renton worked. When she was done seeing the apartments Monique's level of surprise had reached the peak. Ron had an environment made for people who 'take work home' to the extreme but only accessible to a select few.
"You really outdid yourself here Ron." Monique compliments.
"Thanks, I think it's a good start." Ron replies.
"So what are you working on?" Monique asks seeing as he was busy till a few minutes ago.
"A lot. A brain machine interface, next gen entertainment tech, hearing assistance, vision assistance and defence tech to name a few." Ron says.
"Wow." Was all Monique could say.
"Yeah." Ron agreed.
Then Monique proceeded to pull him away from work to go over the school work they were supposed to go over the day before.
Ron went over the schoolwork faithfully which is to say without complaints. Sadly for him Felix remembered that it was his turn to tutor him too and after Monique he started another session with Felix.
Monique got to try on the Neuro Linker as Ron was going over the schoolwork with Felix. Yori even showed her some of the features that were already available.
"Have to admit this is going to change everything." Monique says between laughs of excitement.
"Yes, Ron-san is going to change the world." Yori agrees.
"You and Ron seem a lot closer Yori, is it safe to assume you guys started dating?" Monique asked after mulling over it for a while.
"Although we are a lot closer Monique-san, we haven't talked about dating yet so I do not know." Yori admitted.
"I know that it is unfair to you, Yori but I don't think I'm able to give up on Ron even if you're dating." Monique says while clenching her fist and unable to look at Yori. She felt ashamed of her behavior. "But I believe I can make him happy."
"I know." Yori says.
When Ron noticed an awkward silence between Yori and Monique, he asked Felix for a moment and went over to them.
"Everything okay?" Ron asked.
"Yes, Ron-san. I believe it is." Yori says.
Grateful Monique gathered her thoughts before answering. "Yeah, we are okay. Just taking everything in, you're going to change everything."
Blushing profusely Ron thanked her and went back to the tutoring. An hour and half later Ron finished the lesson and decided to make some lunch for everyone. Going down to the kitchen he started cooking. Not long after he noticed someone coming in and felt it was Monique.
"Hey Mon, feeling better." Ron asked aware that she was feeling a bit down after talking with Yori.
"Ah, feeling better? What do you mean?" Monique tried to deny it.
"I know you Mon and that was frankly the first time I've seen you so down on yourself." Ron insisted.
"I'm okay Ron, really." Monique assures him and asks. "You and Yori dating?"
"I think so?" Ron asked back.
"You think?" Monique asks again.
"In my book we are but I'm not sure she thinks the same. We haven't talked about it yet." Ron admits.
Sighing Monique decides to play her card. She stands and walks over to Ron.
"Ron, look at me." Monique commanded. When hr did she kissed him, lightly at first but it intensified quickly. Leaving him breathless Monique declared. "I'm going to make you mine."
Ron was blushing as he looked at a determined Monique and unable to speak. Seeing her smirk Ron knew she got the reaction she wanted to see. In the moment Ron finally found his voice.
"I look forward to it." Ron flirted.
Monique's smile became a little bigger and Ron knew school was going to be interesting the next day.
The next morning after the run and not getting painted so badly Ron and Yori went to the school.
Ron asked. "Yori are we dating or is it just me?"
"Ron-san, what would you like us to be?" Yori asked in return.
"To be honest, I think we are couple but I want to make sure you are on the same page." Ron explains.
"That's what I would like as well Ron-san and much like you I want your opinion before assuming." Yori says.
"So it's official, we are dating." Ron said and adds. "Booyah!"
"Booyah!" Yori agrees.
To dampen their excitement when they enter the school Monique looks Ron up as he is with Yori and steals a kiss from Ron and kisses Yori on the cheek.
"Morning." Monique greets.
"Good morning, Monique-san." Yori replies.
"Morning Mon." Ron barely responds before his lips are snatched again.
"Morning." Greets Tara and asks. "Are we on this weekend Ronnie?"
Once again a round of 'good morning' goes around in the now stunned silent hallway before Ron explains that this weekend he won't be able to study seeing as he has to go out of town.
Ron had just finished explaining when Bonnie walks up and steals a kiss from him before greeting those present. This started a rush of whispers ranging from: 'Did you see Ron kiss Monique, Tara and Bonnie?' To "Ron is blackmailing Monique, Tara and Bonnie.' Two blondes saw this in the hall from different perspectives. One of them being Brick, who had wanted to make amends with Ron after having calm down. Now he was sure Ron needed a beating. And two, Justine Flanner whose lockers was two down from Ron's.
