Shego groaned as her eyes fluttered open although they quickly shut again, the bright glare of the lights too much. ‘What the? Oh yeah, I collapsed. Ugh, how embarrassing!’
“Shego?” Kim voice was quiet and coming from the right side of her bed. Shego quickly opened her eyes again and settled her forest green gaze on the dishevelled red head.
“Hey Kimmie, FYI its Sheila here, not Shego. You never know who’s listening.” Shego smirked as she felt her strength coming back and fast.
Kim smiled brightly, sensing whatever it was that had caused Shego to collapse was gone, hopefully. “Sorry I had to tell them you had an embarrassing skin condition ‘cause they wiped away some of the make up to put the IV in.”
“Oh Princess, did you lie again? Guess we’re lucky you’re not wearing the centurion project. Otherwise this hospital would destroyed by now!”
Kim looked indignant, “Hey, I had to lie; otherwise you’d be in jail right now. Why are you implying that I lie all the time?”
Shego frowned, “Jesus Kim, I’m not! Why are you being so uptight? You’re not the one suck in a hospital bed when there is no need.” Shego’s fists balled and there was a slight green aura surrounding them.
Praying that her hands wouldn’t get burned, Kim took Shego’s hands in her own, “Sorry Sheg, uh, Sheila. I think I’m just stressed I mean I did watch you collapse. I’ll go get a nurse and see if we can get you discharged.” Kim let go and walked out of the door, leaving Shego with her own thoughts.
‘Doy! We could just leave but no Kimmie has to do everything the right way. I am so badass. How did I get stuck with this, deadweight? Hang on did I just think of Kimmie as a deadweight? Isn’t she the best thing that has ever happened to me. No she isn’t, look where I am now, wanted for murder and on the run. Yeah but she’s helping us, I mean me’
Shego gripped her head in her hands, a major headache going on. Although she quickly forced her hands back to the bed when the door of her room opened letting in Kim and the nurse.
The nurse smiled constantly smiled as she ran tests to check all of Shego’s vital, still smiling as she informed them that everything seemed fine but the doctors wanted ‘Sheila’ to stay overnight for observation. Shego growled as she thought, ‘I’ll wipe that smile off your face lady’ but Kim gripped her shoulders tightly preventing her for getting up off the bed. After the nurse left the room Kim slowly released her grip on Shego’s shoulders. Shego stood up and faced Kim holding the back of the hospital gown closed, “Come on Kimmie, I’d have us out of here by now, if you’d let me”
“Let you do what?” Interrupted Kim, “Beat up that nurse for doing her job and doing it properly! Shego you collapsed in the middle of the street for no apparent reason, I think that we should do what they say.”
“I am on the run Kim, I can’t stay here! It is too easy a place to be caught. And I am not letting some idealist kid get me caught!” Shego’s hands were starting to glow again.
“Get you caught?” Kim repeated, slightly shocked, “You think I am a liability?” Kim’s eyes started to water, the emotional strain of the day starting to become a bit too much.
‘Oh God, she’s crying. Well this just proves my point, she is a kid. No, she is helping me she just doesn’t want to see me hurt. If that’s the case then should let me get out of this place.’
Shego resisted the urge to take her head in her hands again, every conflicting thought sending pain throughout her whole body. Instead she wrapped her arms around Kim in a tight bear hug. “No, I didn’t mean that, it’s just I, we, should not stay somewhere where it is easy for people to track us. And anyway I’m fine and I promise I’ll tell you if I start feeling crappy, okay?” said Shego, Kim nodded in reply still unable to talk, “Okay then, lets get moving back to our hotel then Princess.”
Of course after all the missions (or robberies in Shego’s case) sneaking out of a hospital was easy once they got Shego in normal clothes. Kim seemed to have forgotten her earlier upset by the time they got to their hotel room, hugging Shego tight, “I am so glad you’re okay Shego.”
Shego smiled and gently gripped Kim’s face in her hand and pressed her lips to Kim’s in a sweet kiss. Though the kiss started off innocent, it quickly turned fiery and passionate. Hand roamed over each body and Shego hands slipped under the hem of Kim’s shirt quickly coming up to cup and knead Kim’s breasts and a groan slipped from her throat muffled by Kim’s lips pressed against hers. But almost the instant the groan had escaped from Shego, Kim’s lips started to pull away, she was whispering something. It took a second to get to Shego because of lust dazed senses.
“Stop, we need to slow down.” Came Kim’s soft whisper.
‘What, she’s got me all worked up, then nothing! Flippin’ tease. No, I know she wants to go slow, it’s her first real relationship and I said she could control the speed. Well, we’re going so slow we might as well be going backwards. What Kimmie wants, we, I do. So what Shego needs gets ignored? I don’t need anything, I can wait.
Shego’s hands quickly shot out from under Kim’s top and gripped her head again as she took a couple of steps away from Kim, “Sorry Kimmie, I know, too fast.”
Kim took Shego’s hands, “I’m sorry too Shego. But let’s just get some sleep now, okay?”
Although sleep quickly took Kim in it’s clutches, it was early morning before Shego surrendered as well.
The next day the girls went out for a wonder as they had nothing better to do a Wade had not got back to them concerning any leads. Kim chatted away although Shego was quieter than usual but then after lunch Shego seemed to suddenly brighten and became almost overly loud. As they walked into a ridiculously priced store at Shego’s insistence, Kim’s eyes grew wide as she spied a beautiful gold dress watch, “Whoa Shego, look at that isn’t it pretty. Too bad everything in here is really out of anyone’s price range.”
‘It’s in my price range. I said I wouldn’t to Kim. But every girl likes presents, especially something like that’
Shego smiled, “Sorry Kimmie, I need the bathroom, why you look around more. I’ll be back in a minute.” Kim nodded as she walked off down the aisle.
Shego smirked as looked around checking out the place and how the watch was kept, she let her claws grow, ‘Too bad people thought they were clawed gloves’. The tips of the claws heated slightly as they stroked the glass container under which the watch was held, ‘Distraction, hmm that display falling and smashing should to the trick.’ Shego walked towards the glass figurine display then ‘accidentally’ knocked the shopper in front of her into the shelf, while all the shoppers and shop assistances attention was on that fiasco she made her move and was soon back with Kim, quickly leading her out of the shop using the fact that it was around dinnertime to her advantage.
It was late when the girls got back to their room. Kim was brushing her hair as Shego dug around in her coat pocket.
“Shego, what are you looking for?” asked Kim watching Shego’s reflection on the mirror.
Shego held something behind her back as she approached Kim, “I was looking for this.” Said Shego as she held out the gold dress watch to Kim.
Kim was silent for a second her eyes flicking from the watch to Shego’s strangely happy face, “Shego, did you steal this?”
Shego nodded her eyes obtaining a weird gleam, “Well, I don’t keep that kind of cash on me. But you liked it, so you get it Princess.”
Kim’s face set like stone, “Take it back Shego.”
“What! I did this for you. I did everything for you. I told Dr. D, my friend, where to stuff it. Hell, I even held myself back so we could go slowly”
“I didn’t ask you to steal this for me!” Kim’s voice was starting to rise.
“Well, maybe I thought you would be more, receptive, to me if I got something for you. But then I just guess you’re a prude.” Shego shrugged.
Kim was wide-eyed, “You stole this because I wasn’t, wasn’t, you know? I can’t believe you!”
“Well, you know what, Kimmie, it’s been fun, but I much as I love being shouted at for doing something for you, I’m going. Don’t wait around for me.” Shego stuffed the watch into Kim’s hand and walked out of the door. The door slammed shut and Kim sat on the bed staring at the gleaming gold watch in her hand.
‘I can’t believe I did that, why did I do that? Doy, you did it for Kimmie but she just ruined it didn’t she? Good idea by the way, walking out on her. NO! I need her to help me, why did I steal the watch. I knew she wanted it but why did I steal it. Hey, stealing what I want is a part of me and I wanted to give her something, maybe to get something back, hell I’m not a saint! What is happening, I’ve got to get back to her, or maybe she won’t want to see me.’
“Shut up!” Shouted Shego again gripping her head as she stumbled down the dark sidewalk, eventually falling exhausted onto a bench, mumbling incoherently away, hugging herself tight and rocking slightly.
Suddenly a woman with chestnut brown hair sat next to Shego, making her jump and grip herself even tighter. The woman chuckled, “No fun being insane is it, Sheila? It has gotten worse, hasn’t it, these last couple of hours? The static now almost constant in that head of yours, hmmm? I can help you Sheila, make you head clear again, maybe even get Kimberly Ann back for you. But I can only do that if you come with me” the woman got up and held out her hand. Shego’s hand quickly grabbed at it as if it was a lifeline. The woman smiled, “Good girl.”
