Chapter 10: All Good Things…

When Kim woke up she found herself in Shego's arms and she felt safer than she had ever felt being in those strong and caring arms. She rolled over and gazed at the sleeping ex-villainess. "She's right; she is pretty cute when she's all the way asleep." Kim thought to herself, remembering the comment that the pale woman had made the day before.

"I could get use to waking up next to her." Kim happily thought and then it dawned on her, their two weeks were coming to an end and Shego would have to leave to go back to work. They had been having so much fun together that it had snuck up on her. "I wish she wasn't leaving tomorrow." She sulked internally.

The redhead could not believe it, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt like crying. They had finally arrived at a place where they were both on the same page, madly in love with each other, and now they were going to be separated. "It's just not fair!" She screamed in her head. "Why didn't I realize that this was going to happen?"

"Because you weren't thinking about that, you were too busy thinking about being with her, not without her." A voice in her head said.

"Damn it!" Kim cursed internally. She knew that they were going to have to be separated. It was not like she could just forget about school, and even if Shego quit working for Drakken, however unlikely, she would still have to leave to get her belongings and tie up any loose ends that she had with the blue scientist, and that could take some time.

Then, almost as if she has sensed the change in the redhead's demeanor, Shego stirred from her sleep to find the beautiful redhead staring at her. "Good morning, Kimmie." She said sleepily and gave her a peck on the lips.

"Actually it's 'good afternoon'." Kim said in a low voice.

The redhead's tone woke the pale woman up completely. She did not even comprehend what was said, she just knew that something was wrong from the tone. "What's wrong?" Shego asked concerned, sitting up to get a better look at her girlfriend. "Is she sick, hurt, upset? What's wrong?" She thought to herself as she examined the redhead to see what the matter was. She was so worried about the redhead's change in behavior that she failed to even notice that the redhead was not wearing any clothes.

"I just realized that you're leaving tomorrow to go back to work." Kim answered, still in a low voice.

"Oh." Shego said in an almost whisper. "I forgot about that." She really did not forget about her job, she just had not thought about it much in the past two weeks.

"What are we going to do Shego? Now that you've come back into my life and things have changed between us, I don't want to be apart!" Kim said distressed. She was not handling the situation well, but in her defense, she had never been in a situation like this before and she did not know what to do. Her normally poised and 'ready for anything' demeanor was gone now that her emotions were all over the place.

"Whoa, slow down Kim!" Shego urged and she pulled the redhead into her arms, hoping that would calm her girlfriend down. She was upset about the situation as well, but someone needed to be the voice of reason. She could see that the redhead was starting to panic and that was the last thing they needed. "It's ok." She said rubbing the younger woman's back with her hand.

"No it's not!" Kim said with tears forming in her eyes.

"Kimmie." Shego said in a soothing voice, breaking the embrace so she could look at the redhead. She wiped away a tear that had escaped the upset girl's olive eyes. "Kim I love you, plain and simple, and no amount of distance is going to change that. Just the fact that I can say those words again tells me that I am totally committed to you and making this relationship work."

"But we just got together, how is being apart going to work?"

"It's not like we're never going to see each other. I own an airplane. I can fly up here on the weekends to see you."

"But won't that tire you out flying back and forth between Go City and Drakken's place every week." Kim reasoned. As much as she wanted to see the emerald-eyed beauty, she did not want to take advantage of her either. She knew how tiring traveling could be.

"I have a very fast airplane. It's only a three and a half hour flight between Drakken's lab and Go City. Seven hours a week to travel to see you is nothing, and it will be well worth it to see this beautiful face." Shego said, putting a pale hand on the hero's cheek and placing a tender kiss on the redhead's lips.

Kim returned the warm display of affection and sighed. "At least I'll get to see you. For some reason I thought we weren't going to get to see each other."

"Sometimes we tend to think the worst when we are faced with something different than what we are used to. So, are you feeling better now that you know you're going to see me every week?" Shego asked just to clarify.

"Yeah, I think so."

"Good." Shego said and then she and the redhead laid back down facing each other.

"I don't know why I acted like that. I usually hold it together better than that." Kim said a little embarrassed.

"Kimmie, I would be more concerned if you weren't upset than I am with you acting this way. At least this way I can tell that you love me." The green-hued woman said, caressing Kim's chubby cheek with her thumb.

"I do love you." Kim insisted and she put her hand on the pale woman's hand.

"I know you do, and this proves it." Shego said and kissed the redhead again. "So, let's not waste the last full day of my vacation moping around."

"Ok Shego." Kim said with a smile. "Sorry you had to wake up to my little melt down."

"It's ok. It's a good way to get the blood pumping." Shego joked. "So, what time did you say it was?"

"Umm, twelve forty-five." Kim said after looking at her Kimmunicator.

"Oh, it's later than I thought."

"Well it was almost five o'clock in the morning before we went to sleep."

"You'd be surprised what two women can find to keep themselves busy when they have a whole island to themselves." Shego said matter-of-factly.

"A whole island? We barely left the bedroom last night." Kim said with a giggle.

"Well how was I supposed to know that you had massive amounts of stamina?"

"I said let's go for round two; you on the other hand took it to a completely different level last night."

"Oh shut up," Shego said playfully. "You enjoyed yourself."

"Yes I did." Kim said in a knowing tone. "At least this time when we go searching for our clothes we only have to look in here."

"See, we contained the mess this time." Shego said as if that was an accomplishment.

Kim laughed. "I guess so."

"Well as much as I hate to, we better get ready to go." Shego said sitting up again. "We have to have the plane on the ground before it gets dark, and I have plans to take you out to a nice dinner tonight.

"Oooo, a nice dinner! Like how nice?

"Park Place."

"Wow, how're you going to swing that? It takes months to get a reservation there, especially on a Saturday."

"I know the owner."

"Yeah? How so?" Kim asked intrigued.

"She's my Mom's cousin."

"Man you just have all kinds of connections."

"I guess, but so do you. I mean I don't know anyone else that has thousands of people around the world on speed dial at her beck and call if she needs a ride somewhere."

"Well when you put it that way…" Kim said shyly. She did know a lot of people that owed her a favor or two.

"Uh-huh. So, shower time?"

"Sure. You want me to go first or do you want to get in before me?"

"Actually…well it's a big shower, plenty of room for two if you're interested?" Shego offered with a smirk. Now that the morning crisis was averted, she was aware that she was in bed with her beautiful, naked girlfriend, and she could not let the opportunity pass.

"Well it would save water." Kim said as if she actually believed that.

"Sure, if you say so." Shego said, knowing full well that was not even close to being true.

"Hi Kim." Monique greeted the redhead as she entered her apartment.

"Hey Mo." Kim responded and then noticed that someone was missing. "Where's Ron?"

"At work. He left here this morning grumbling about having to organize the stock room and take inventory again. How was your trip?"

"Monique it was out of this world amazing!" Kim squealed as she sat next to the fashion diva. "Shego flew us to a cabin on a private island north of the city that her family owns. We had a picnic and lounged around in the yard and just enjoyed spending the whole day together!"

"Sounds nice."

"It was. She even told me that she loved me!" The redhead squealed again. She got excited and giddy every time she thought about it.

"Oh girl, that's great!" Monique cheered. "Tell me how it happened!"

"Um, I'm not sure you want all the details on this one."

"You were in bed weren't you?" The dark-haired woman said knowingly.

"Yeah. It was—well I won't go into specifics, but it was intense and sweet at the same time."

"Aww!" Monique cooed.

"Oh, I gotta get ready!" Kim suddenly announced looking at her watch. "Shego's taking me out to dinner tonight, and she'll be back to pick me up soon."

"Where are y'all going?"

"Park Place."

"Isn't that the really nice restaurant in the park?"

"'Yeah, it is."

"Fancy!" Monique said impressed.

"I was thinking about wearing my blue dress."

"Oh no, girl! I think you need to bust out the LBD."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah. It's sexy, yet classy and it will knock Shego off her feet.

-()-()-()-()-()-()-

"OMG, I think the temperature just went up in here!" Monique commented as her roommate walked into the living room dressed for her date. "I told you that the LBD was the way to go."

"Yeah, KP. You look great." Ron agreed.

"Thanks guys. I hope Shego likes it." Kim said putting her keys in her purse.

"Oh she will." Ron said confidently. He loved it when Monique wore her little black dress, so he had no doubt that Shego would feel the same way.

"Yeah girl, you look HOT in that dress." Monique said, complementing the redhead.

Kim was about the join her friends on the couch before there was a knock at the door.

"There she is." Kim said and moved to answer the door. "I'll see you guys later."

"Are you coming home tonight?" Monique asked.

"Ummm, I don't know. I'll text you later and let you know."

"Ok."

Kim opened the door and greeted her girlfriend. "Hi Shego. Wow, look at you; you look great!" The pale woman was wearing a formfitting green strapless dress that stopped at her mid-thigh.

"Thanks, but I'm sure I don't look as good as you do. I love that dress on you!" Shego said. She could not take her eyes off the redhead. She was just too beautiful and the dress she was wearing showed off all her curves. She just wanted to reach out and touch the redhead.

Kim blushed. "Thanks." She said shyly. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yep."

"You two ladies have fun." Ron called over.

"Ok, g'nite you two." Kim said.

"Night." Shego said and waved over to Monique and Ron before she closed the door.

"I'm so excited! I've walked by the restaurant a hundred times, but never eaten there."

"You're going to love it." Shego said putting an arm around her date's waist. "The food is fantastic and they have a great wine menu." She said and escorted her date to her car.

-()-()-()-()-()-()-

"What do you recommend?" Kim asked as she looked over the menu. So many things sounded delicious that it was a little overwhelming for redhead.

"Well, the salmon is amazing. They marinate it in a wonderful citrus marinade and grill it. But if you're not up for seafood tonight, I recommend the filet mignon. It practically melts in your mouth." Shego suggested.

"I think I might go with the Salmon." Kim said. She loved seafood.

"Then make sure you get the Pinot Noir. It goes well with Salmon."

"Ok. What are you going to get?"

"Probably the filet." Shego said still looking over the menu.

"This place is really nice." Kim said looking around the room. "I can't believe we got in here at the last minute."

"I told you we would. Jennie always keeps an open table for family or last minute VIP's."

"Well, it's nice of her to do that. She could probably make a lot of money if she added another table to the reservation list."

"Yeah, but she makes enough money as it is with this place. So I doubt one more table would make a difference."

-()-()-()-()-()-()-

"My goodness that was delicious!" Kim said when she finished her meal. She had thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

"I hope you left some room for dessert. They have a raspberry cheesecake here that's to die for." Shego said.

"How about we share one. I don't think I could eat one by myself."

"Sure."

Shego ordered dessert for the two of them when the waiter came to clear their plates. When he returned with their dessert, Shego took the fork and cut a generous, but bite-sized piece for her girlfriend.

"Try this Kimmie."

"Mmmmm!" Kim exclaimed. "It's wonderful."

"I told you." Shego said with a smile before she had a bite herself. "Want another bite?"

"Duh!" Kim said grinning.

"Ok, Princess." Shego said amused before she fed her girlfriend another bite.

After the two ladies finished with their dessert, and Shego had paid the bill, the two women went for a moonlit walk around the park. When they came to the bench that they had had their ice cream a few days earlier, they started laughing.

"Come on Kimmie; let's have a seat on our bench."

Kim caught the pale woman's words and she felt her heart swell. "Our bench!" She squealed internally. She loved hearing things referred to as 'ours' when it came to the green-hued woman.

Kim cuddled into the older woman's form when she put her arm around her shoulders.

The two women sat silently, enjoying the closeness of each other's company for a while before Shego spoke up. "You know, I almost forgot, but I have a present for you."

"A present?" Kim said surprised. She was not expecting anything more after the great date they had just had.

"I had to open it so it would fit in my purse, but I hope you like it." Shego said reaching into her purse, and pulled out a small digital camera in a leather case.

"You bought me a camera?" Kim asked opening the case.

"Yeah. We had so much fun running around the park taking pictures together, and then going through all those silly pictures afterwards that I figured we would have plenty of opportunities to take more pictures in the future, so I wanted to make sure we always had a way of preserving those memories."

"It's perfect!" Kim cheered and gave the pale woman an excited kiss. "Is it ready? Can I take a picture?"

"Yeah, go ahead. It's charged and there is a memory card already in it." Shego said with a smile. She loved how the redhead got excited over the smallest things.

Kim turned the camera on, and then extended her arm so she could take a picture of the two of them. After, she changed the mode so they could see what it looked like. "Aww, I like it."

"Now we have another picture to add to our growing collection." Shego said.

After a few moments of silence, the pale woman broke the silence again. "This has been a great two weeks." She said happily.

"Yeah it has. I still can't believe it's over though. It went by so quickly." Kim slightly lamented. She was sad that Shego's vacation was almost over, but she knew that they would see each other soon, so she was not as upset about the situation as she was a few hours ago.

"Well, we managed to fit a lot of stuff in those two weeks. I haven't had this much fun in a long time."

"I can't imagine that living with Drakken would be all that much fun."

"First of all, we live in the same building, we don't live together." Shego said clarifying the redhead's statement, "And second, it's actually more entertaining than you would think. The man is a bumbling idiot at times."

"I believe it." Kim said giggling.

"I love the way you laugh. It's so intoxicating." Shego cooed and gave the redhead a kiss. When they parted, they rested their foreheads together.

"I love you." Kim said in a dreamy tone.

"I love you too." Shego said and took the redhead by the hand. "Come on, let's get out of here."

"Where are we going?"

"Back to my place."

"Why?"

"Because, for the rest of the night, I don't want to do anything else but hold you close to me."

"What if I don't want to be held like some cuddle toy?" Kim said playfully.

"Well that's too bad, because I intend on holding on to you for as long as I can, and even when we're apart, I'll still be holding on because I'm never going to let you go."

-(Next Day)-

"I want Friday to get here soon." Kim said with a pout as she watched her girlfriend pack her bags into her airplane.

"It'll be here before you know it, Kimmie." Shego said and gave the redhead a tight hug. Every time she looked at the sad look on the younger woman's face, she felt her heart sink into her stomach and she felt the need to comfort her girlfriend.

"I know, but you aren't even gone yet and I miss you."

"I miss you too." Shego said and held her girlfriend.

"Are you going to call me when you get there?"

"Of course I will, silly!" Shego said with a giggle and gave the sad redhead a kiss on the end of her nose. "Trust me, I don't like the thought of being apart either, but it won't be as bad as you think it will. Friday is going to come so quickly that you'll hardly even notice that I'm gone." She said trying to make it easier on the younger girl.

"Ok, Shego." Kim conceded. She knew if she seemed positive about the situation, it would be easier on her girlfriend. She could tell it was eating Shego up on the inside having to leave, and the strong front that she was putting on was purely for her sake.

"Plus, I was thinking about it this morning, and I think I might be able to talk Dr. Drakken into moving his lab closer."

"Really?" Kim asked with hope.

"Well it's not going to happen overnight, it may take some time, but he still has an old lair outside of Middleton. I'm pretty sure I can convince him that moving his lab closer to Global Justice would be better for his project, especially since they are the ones funding it."

"Oh, that would be a lot better!" Kim said with excitement. "A lab in Middleton would be much more manageable than one in the Caribbean!" She thought to herself.

"There's the smile I've been waiting all day to see." Shego said with her own smile and gave the redhead a soft kiss on the lips.

"I'm sorry for being a mope." Kim said when they broke their embrace. "I know it's not going to be that bad, it's just that I've never been in a long distance relationship before and I think I'm letting it go to my head. I promise to be more positive about it."

"Thanks Kimmie." Shego said and then looked at her watch. Well, I better get going. Don't worry, I'll call you when I land and let you know that I got back safely."

"You better." Kim said playfully and then embraced the pale woman and gave her a sweet, tender kiss.

When they broke from the kiss, Shego did not move from the embrace, she just stood there holding the redhead. "You know I don't want to leave you, right?" She asked softly. She wanted to make sure that the redhead knew that, despite her efforts to make her feel better about them being apart.

"Shego, if I didn't believe that, there would be no reason for us continuing our relationship." Kim answered and she kissed the tops of the pale woman's hands. "I love you."

"I love you too." Shego said and she leaned down to give the redhead another kiss.

When their kiss ended, they both knew that one of them had to make the first move to end their embrace, because at the rate they were going, they would just stand there all day kissing and holding each other, not wanting to let the other one go.

"I can't do it." Shego said.

"You can't what?" Kim asked.

"I can't let go." Shego answered. She was having a harder time with leaving than she thought she would. "I don't want to be the first one to let go."

"Me neither." Kim agreed with her girlfriend.

"Ok, how about this…One more kiss, and then we both let go, that way neither one of us let go first."

"Ok." Kim concurred, and then met the green-hued woman in one last kiss. Out of all the kisses that they had shared trying to say goodbye to each other, this one was the most emotional. It was almost as if they were trying to express all of their feelings for the other with their kiss. When they finally parted, both women were flushed, out of breath, and Kim had a tear running down her cheek.

When Shego arrived at the steps of her plane, she turned and glanced back at the wistful redhead. "I love you."

"I love you too, Shego." Kim said her voice cracking. She was determined not to cry, but a few tears escaped, despite her best efforts. "Fly safe."

"I will. Call you soon."

"I can't wait." Kim said in a soft voice.

With that, Shego climbed into her plane and closed the sliding canopy hatch to her plane. Once she started up her plane and she was ready to taxi, she looked over to where the redhead was standing and blew her a kiss. Kim returned the kiss and waved as Shego taxied her plane onto the taxiway.

Kim solemnly walked back to her car. When she sat down in the driver's seat, she noticed that there was a wrapped box and a card in the passenger seat. "When did Shego do this?" She wondered as she unwrapped the box. After she had removed the paper, she opened the top of the box and found a medium sized bright green teddy bear.

Kim removed the bear from the box and gave it a hug. It did not take long for her to realize that Shego had sprayed her perfume on the bear. "It smells just like her." Kim said with a smile and then she placed the bear in her lap and opened the card so she could see what her love had to say:

My Dearest Kimmie,

The past two weeks that I have spent with you have been wonderful. When I arrived in Go City, I had no idea that when I left two weeks later, my heart would be filled with so much love and longing for another person. Before you, I had resigned myself to a life without love. I had been let down, and there was no room in my life for something that was not real. Thankfully, you proved me wrong. You helped me to realize that love is not only real, but also something I need in my life. Now, I can't even imagine my life without you in it. As cliché as it might sound, you are the first thing that I think about in the morning and the last thing that I think about when I go to sleep at night, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you! I love you with all my heart and even though we are apart for now, I know my love for you will not dwindle; the distance will only make me love you more.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again, and I have a feeling that you long to have me in your arms as well, so while I'm away, I have left you a little something to cuddle with until we are together again. Maybe it will help the week go by faster. I know I will be counting the minutes until I am with you again.

I love and miss you with all my heart,

Shego

Kim felt tears of happiness form in her eyes. She read Shego's card one more time before she put it back in its envelope and then she gave her new teddy bear a tight hug. The words from the pale woman's letter and the scent of her perfume swirled around the slim hero's head and a wide smile appeared on her face. The more she thought about their situation with rationality, without letting her emotions get in the way, the more she came to realize that they were lucky, because in the great scheme of things, five days really was not that long. It could be worse. A lot of couples go weeks, sometimes months without seeing each other, so she figured that she should be thankful that they do not have to wait that long to be together again.

"Ok, it's only five more days." Kim said confidently. "This is so not the drama!"
