PART 10

TAMING SHEGO

Chapter 19

"Tara?" Kim Possible's eyes were wide as saucers as she looked at the blond woman currently smiling at her and wearing such a provocative swim wear, "Wha…"

Shego on the other hand was tongue tied as she saw the look of surprise and excitement mixed on the red head's face. Her brows were raised and she had one hand resting on her side, one foot tapping on the sanded ground as if the red headed ex-heroine could hear it. She then looked at the blonde woman smiling sweetly at "her" pumpkin and then she narrowed her eyes on the extra-woman at the place to try to intimidate but to no avail.

"It's a surprise to see you here Kim," Tara said as she stepped closer to the red headed woman. She looked at the green-skinned woman with a look that actually tells Shego to try and stop her. When the green skinned woman did not move, she smiled at Kim once again.

"Well…it is a surprise to see you here," The red head said as she scratched her head with one hand while the other was hidden at her back, "You with…"

"Oh, I am with Reynald, he is my new beau but as you can see…" She said showing to Kim the path where she came from, "He isn't here, always busy doing this and that even during our supposed vacation." Tara said before looking at the green-skinned woman, "Isn't she the villainess who always got you into trouble?"

~that funk should know how to shut her mouth up, cause I am dying to strangle her~

For once I agree with you

~and what the heck? She's making those googly eyes on princess!~

And to think she is with someone! How dare she play that flirting game with princess!

~well, I think it's a miracle that we actually agree on something~

I'm sure this has an angle! This woman probably heard of Princess' inheritance and wanted to have it!

~could be…but…aren't you supposed to be happy? If this façade goes on, then you don't have to be Mrs. Kim Possible for long~

Fuck it! I'm not losing my money here…

~is it really the money?~

You know I like you better when you are on my side, will you get off now?

~I was just trying to help, anyway I won't bother you much now, ta-tah~

"Shego? Are you alright?"

Shego shook her head to see Kim's face actually in front of hers and the red headed woman was having this worried look on her face. "I'm fine pumpkin, I was just thinking…"

"I see," Kim said smiling in relief then she leaned forward to whisper on Shego's ear, "Inner voice debate again?"

Shego smiled and whispered back, "Well for once, the inner voice and I were on the same page,"

"Really? That's something from the look of it?"

"It is SO THE DRAMA, not that I'm stealing your phrase princess," Shego whispered back smirking before pulling the red head in embrace and lightly kissing the red head's cheek. Shego looked at the blond woman at the back of Kim who frowned at her gesture, before she smirked at the frowning woman. She pushed the smaller ex-heroine a little away from her and smiled genuinely, "Hungry? I think there's a nice buffet waiting for us at the dining hut?" she said and looked at the blond woman, "…and why don't you invite your friend over honey, from what I heard she's lonely right now? She might be in need of some company,"

Kim's face brightened, "Oh that's great Shego," Kim said happily, tucking away Shego's unexpected actions and the way she put 'stress' to the word honey in her sentence for later, "I was meaning to ask you if Tara could dine with us, since as you said, she is alone."

Shego's one eyebrow rose and looked at the blond woman who was now smiling at her triumphantly, "Really princess?" She smiled evilly once again to intimidate the blond woman but she seethed deep inside when again, it elicited no effect. "Well, it seems we got company then, Tara right?" the green skinned woman said with venom in her voice which didn't go unnoticed by the two smaller women, Kim shrugged it off as Shego being herself while Tara tried to look smug about it but nodded her head in assent. "Well what are we all waiting for?" Shego said turning to lead the way and taking the red head with her that actually surprised the ex-heroine, what with the force Shego was using to make her follow.

Kim looked at Tara who was walking behind them and nodded her head in polite apology for the sudden rudeness of the taller woman, which she knew should not be odd since she was talking about Shego…but Shego hasn't been that forceful to her before, as a matter of fact, she likes to keep some distance from her.

Maybe Shego is worried that I may not go through with the contract and she will lose her money…

~or maybe she is jealous of that Tara~

Damn it…she can't be jealous, she doesn't like me the way I like her to be like that, and we were married in papers only

~maybe things change?~

I'm not getting my hopes that high, it'll probably take me more than a year to actually make her fall for me

~and when did Kim Possible lost that fighting spirit?~

Silence

"Pumpkin?" Shego called out once they stopped at the table the waiter showed them

Kim shook her head and smiled at Shego who smiled back at her since the taller woman knew already what happened to the red head. The raven-haired woman looked at Tara who was frowning since the blond woman has no idea what happened to the red head that seems to the blond woman that there was "something very private and personal" between the two women in front of her and that irritates her more.

Kim was about to pull the chair in front of her when she was stopped by the green skinned woman who pulled the chair for Kim. The red head's eyes were wide in surprise for the second time and she looked at Shego who just raised both eyebrows at her daring her to say something. Kim just smiled, sat and watched as the woman beside her pulled her own chair and sat and motioned for the blond woman in front of her to sit as well. The waiter came to their table and asked them for their drinks, Kim looked at Shego waiting for what the woman would do, the older woman smiled and started ordering, and then she looked at Tara who nodded her head giving the older woman a go signal to order her drink as well.

"Do you want to check out the menus at the buffet table?" Tara asked the red head.

"I'll be delighted to!" Shego answered for Kim instead and hurriedly stood up, situating herself at Kim's back then pulling the chair once again for the red head. Shego looked at Tara again and smirked when she saw the dark aura emanating from the blond woman in front.

The three women headed to one of the buffet tables in the room silently, Kim was all smiles, Shego was smirking and Tara frowning. "Oh, everything looks delicious!" Shego started breaking the silence, "What do you think pumpkin?"

Kim looked at the taller woman, "Yes it is," then she looked at Tara and smiled sheepishly at the blond woman, which was returned by a bright smile. Shego who saw the exchange raise one brow and pushed Kim lightly forward.

"Why don't you go ahead and look princess," she looked at the long line, "It seems the line is building up."

"Absolutely," Kim said moving forward. Tara was about to follow when the blond woman was stopped by Shego's hand.

"Sorry, I didn't remember telling you to go ahead of me," Shego said before walking pass the angry looking blond woman and proceeded to stand behind the red head. Tara who was keeping to herself the annoyance followed.

"So Tara," Kim said as she inspects the food after getting a plate and started getting the ones she liked, "You are here for your vacation? I thought you went to New York? Bonnie was so proud of you that you actually got a stint in Broadway."

"She did huh?" Shego said in a disbelieving tone while she herself selected foods at the buffet. Tara wasn't able to answer at once and the blond woman suddenly looked nervous, and this didn't go unnoticed by the raven haired ex-villainess. Shego looked at the blond woman, "What happened? Cat caught your tongue?" this was said with a smirk.

"Shego!" Kim said tapping Shego's arm lightly, "Behave,"

Shego smiled, "I'm behaving honey,"

"Well actually, it was really a big hit. I didn't even think of getting that part, but I was able to ace the audition and got it." Tara said smiling at the two women.

"Maybe you should give us a sample," Shego said with a look that dares the woman to say YES

"What? Me monologue in here? I think that would be too much of an embarrassment." Tara said smiling nervously.

"Monologue?" Kim asked with her brows raised high, "I thought it was a musical?"

"Oh then Tara can sing for us! And look," Shego said looking at one corner of the dining hut, "There's a karaoke!"

"Oh…NO!" Tara suddenly blurted out, "Look, the play also has dialogues, so it's not just singing and… I have not been feeling well lately and my throat hurts."

Kim deflated, "Oh that sucks, it would have been nice to hear your voice again."

Shego looked at Kim, "Again?"

Kim blushed, "Tara used to sing for me when I feel down before, well…"

"And why is that?"

"She was my girlfriend?" Tara said with a winning smirk on her face,

"Oh…" Shego looked at Tara evilly, "So you're the 'ex'?" One brow rose up, "And you decide to ditch pumpkin for a guy who ditches you for work? Wow…what a moron."

"Shego!" Kim called the older woman in a chastising tone

"Well…maybe I could try to work around it and make it right?" Tara said smiling

"I don't think your boyfriend would change that much, he isn't even here right now." Shego said in a "duh" kind of way.

"I wasn't talking about my boyfriend," Tara grinned and looked at Kim before winking one eye which was caught by Shego.

"I don't like the sound of that!" Shego said and then her gaze focused on Kim who was stunned at Tara's declaration, "Hey Pumpkin?"

Kim was brought back to here and now by the constant shaking Shego gave her, "I...I really am hungry, I think we better eat this," she said before turning for their table. Shego who watched the red head followed. Tara on the other hand decided to finally get her plate and fished for food.

Chapter 20

Kim was watching Shego as they returned to their vacation house care of Counselor West. The green skinned woman was uncharacteristically quiet and her moves were purposeful and it seemed to the red head that the older woman was actually upset about something. Kim smiled deep inside as she wished for her conscience to be "very right" about its idea of Shego being jealous of Tara. The smile within the red head though wasn't kept secret for long as it was shown on the red head's face a little bit later into her musing.

"What's so funny cupcake?" Shego asked, her eyes were dangerously focused on the red head who was unfazed and smiled at the seething raven haired woman, "What?" Shego asked again before sitting angrily on the white, large living room couch. Kim didn't answer instead she stepped closer to the solo white couch and sat before once again looking at Shego, "If you don't answer Possible, you will be sleeping in this couch tonight!" Shego said huffing and then crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"I was just…well I should be the one to ask you something,"

"What?" Shego asked again with one brow raised

"What's the matter with you? You looked like someone who didn't get her vacation pay from Dr. D.!" Kim said smiling sweetly at the older woman

"Fuck you Possible, what is it to you?" Shego said, the anger on her face increasing in intensity,

"Don't get your hackles up Shego, I was just saying what I can see. You've been trying to destroy the whole vacation house since we came back from here…I thought you had a good time exercising with me?" Kim leaned her back to the couch, "And I didn't show you my new moves and I pulled a lot of punches to make us even!" Kim this time was obviously teasing the older and taller woman.

Shego took one throw-pillow and threw it at Kim hard, "Damn it Pumpkin! There's no way you're gonna be better than me! If there's anyone pulling punches when we fought earlier, that was me!"

Kim nodded her head but didn't remove her eyes on the seething woman, "Then why are you so angry?"

No answer at first, then Shego stood up and started pacing in front of Kim Possible,"DAMN THAT TARA! How dare she ruin this vacation?" Shego said not minding that she was actually doing a monologue in front of the red head. "I had plan for the rest of the day! I want to explore this god damn island and have a peaceful bath under the sun and she ruined it!" Shego said in a voice that's rising in volume, "…and to think that this is supposed to be the first day of my supposed honeymoon! She comes barging in and tell you all those bullshit!" she stopped and looked at Kim, "aren't you even suspicious? She had dumped you for a very long time and now she comes here to tell you she wants you back?" Shego paced again while Kim's smile widened as she watched and listened to the green skinned woman, "I'll bet my ass there's no Reynald! She knew you were here cause she is stalking you or that damn lawyer told her you were here and they were working together to get you!"

~I tell you…I heard a lot of rant out of jealousy and this is a classic~

Cross your fingers!

~If I have…I am already~

"You could have done all of those without me Shego," Kim said to test the water

Shego frowned, "Where's the fun in that? Besides…hello pumpkin! This is supposed to be our honeymoon!"

"I know…but it's not a true honeymoon,"

"So? What if that Counsel is there to find any loopholes about this marriage?"

"It's not as if he could find one that fast, and I don't see anything wrong talking with a friend…"

"An ex-girlfriend pumpkin, you forgot to tell me that!"

Silence

"I think you're jealous." Kim said grinning

Shego's eyes widened and her face paled, well…her own version of paleness.

~busted!~

Shut up!

"What the hell…" Shego looked at Kim grinning at her and she became angry, "I AM NOT JEALOUS! FUCK YOU POSSIBLE!" She screamed, kicked the solo couch where Kim was sitting and angrily walked out the living room and into the only bedroom in the house.

"SHEGO!"

"Go sleep on the couch!"

"I don't even have pillows and blankets here!" Kim said as soon as she reached the door to the room.

"IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM ANYMORE BIG MOUTH!"

Kim shrugged her shoulders and her grin widened, "Jealous," she whispered before she turned around to go back to the living room. "PERHAPS TARA IS WILLING TO LEND ME PILLOWS AND BLANKETS!"

Silence and then the sudden opening of the room door and a very angry ex-villainess came out with a blanket and pillows, threw it at the red head before once again heading back to the room, "I'll get even Possible!"

"Good night HONEY," Kim said giving stress to the word honey as Shego did before. She heard the green skinned woman huffed before slamming the door of the room close.

KSKSKS

The morning after was peaceful for the red head. Her 'wife' is still inside the bedroom still sleeping. She hasn't gotten any peaceful sleep because her psyche kept her awake; she was giddy that Shego was actually jealous. Then she could hear Shego actually moving around the bedroom and she seemed troubled as well, but maybe she isn't giddy like her, and then there was Tara. She knew there's something wrong with the blond woman.

Kim prepared the coffee and looked inside the refrigerator to find some snack she could make. She cooked 2 sunny side-ups, two jumbo hotdogs, two burger patties, she then toasted breads and started making 2 club house sandwiches. She sliced them to bite size, pour two cups of coffee, both black, put it on a large serving tray and happily brought it to the bedroom.

With her hands both full she used her knee to knock on the door. After about 5 knocks and a grumbling sound coming from the green skinned woman, the door opened with Shego covered in a green and black satin robe that covers her until the middle of her thigh and left everything for Kim to see.

"What?" Shego asked frowning

"I thought I'd made you breakfast in bed." Kim said smiling at the older woman. Shego raised one eyebrow and looked at the smaller woman who was carrying the large serving tray.

"Is that a peace offering or something? Cause really I would have prepared another kind…if you know what I mean…"

"Well…there's no extra romantic hula-baloo that happened yesterday…unless…"

"Better get that in princess before I change my mind and slam this door on your face." Shego said in a warning tone and turned around to head back to bed, leaving the door open. The red head entered and followed the green skinned woman who sat on the bed. "What did you make?"

"Just a club sandwhich…es…" Kim grinned and put the tray on the bedside table, pulled the small coffee table towards Shego and transferred the tray there. She took the chair and put it in front of Shego and she sat there, "I thought it would be nice to have breakfast with you."

Shego sighed and looked at the sandwiches, "I didn't know you can cook,"

"Well this isn't real cooking, I can fry this and that and that's it for me. I usually leave the real cooking to Ron."

Shego started sipping the coffee and tasting the bite size sandwich along with Kim, "Well this is decent." She said smiling at the red head.

Nothing was said between them for a while as they concentrate on eating and drinking their coffee.

"You owe me 5 thousand bucks," Shego said breaking the silence,

"What for?" Kim asked in shock

"I did perform extra romantic scene yesterday." Shego said flatly

"No you didn't!"

"Yes I did!"

"You didn't!"

"I did pumpkin! Or maybe you have forgotten in the face of that blonde ditz?"

"I have not forgotten anything Shego, I am not that old to be senile."

Shego sighed again, "I gave you an extra hug and a kiss on the cheek!"

Kim's jaw dropped, "I…that was an extra? I thought you just did it to throw off Tara! And I didn't even ask for you to do it! So it can't be extra!"

~I told you that's a lame excuse to cover up the jealous temperament yesterday!~

You're not helping!

~I'll just shut up then! Just admit it you were jealous!~

If you're gonna shut up then do it now!

"…so it cannot be an extra!" Kim finished her sentence which wasn't heard by Shego so the green skinned woman looked at the red head menacingly and said…"Okay-okay you win," the red head's eyes widened when Shego accepted her argument and conceded, "Okay…I win?"

"Yeah you win Princess or you want another fight about it?"

"I win then!" Kim said smiling and continued eating. There was silence again while they were easting which was broken this time by Kim, "I think something is very wrong with Tara."

Shego looked at Kim frowning, "What? She got her brain fried?"

Kim smiled but shook her head no, "She was lying and was so bad at it or Tara isn't Tara."

Shego looked at Kim and a smile formed on her face, "Now you're talking pumpkin…"

The red head grinned.
