“Ah… jealous?” I suppose my face was showing some surprise and a little bit of shock, at least I think so, for her part the doc was between feeling shy and scared of even saying that, seeing that I quickly coughed to clean my throat making her look at me “so, uh, want some coffee?” I said pointing in the general direction of the kitchen; it seemed that Anne relaxed more after I said that.
“It would be nice” she simply said letting out a soft sigh, probably she wasn't quite ready to let out what she was thinking about.
Nodding once I got up and walked into the kitchen, I needed a little bit to think and calm down, I was simply blown away, Anne's reactions, moves and way of talking was simply amazing, if I didn't know better I would say there was a real mother of three right there in the sofa on my house.
“Do you need any help?” My mistake, make that, in the kitchen of my house.
“Nah, I got it, you don't have to stand up, you're a guest here doc”
“Even if you say that, I don't like to be doing nothing, I'm always busy in something” the doctor said with a very small smile not quite reaching her eyes, turning back to the coffee maker I was already making a plan to make her spill the worries inside her, for just a minute there I did forget she was a robot and got into the role of friend.
“So, feeling a little better?” I said when I handed over the mug of coffee to my delightful redhead seating down in the sofa across me, I wasn't worried about the liquid, robo-sluts could ingest liquids and solids and turn them into energy, they were almost like a huge battery in that aspect.
“A little bit. I suppose you are wondering what did I meant when I said I felt jealous” she said looking directly into my eyes I could only nod at her, placing her mug on top of the tea table in the middle of the living room she inhaled deeply, it seemed like story time like my mom uses to say when people need to talk long about something “did I ever told you how I met James? What am I saying? Of course no, I don't think even Kimmie knows much about it”
“Well, is not like if I had a lot of chances to ask, as I remember it back then I was either running away from your daughter to not be send into prison or ogling at you” I said a little bit sassy, I couldn't quite leave that part of myself out of the words, although I was pleasantly surprised when Anne chuckled a bit while the crimson hue appeared on her cheeks.
“I can't believe I missed that cheeky mouth of yours, now I see how Kimmie feels, wonder how she avoids dying from all the blood going into her head with her blushing around Shego”
“I learned from the best” I said once again showing how ‘cheeky’ I could be, something I got from my parents, and it seemed that this time it helped make the mood lift up.
“Not for even a minute I doubt that, but well, I never got a chance to tell you this, but Kimmie and Ron always reminded me of James and me”
“So, you were childhood friends and all that?”
“Since Junior High in fact, James said he always liked me but was nervous of telling me, we even went together to prom, people always said that we were a perfect couple”
“That's why you didn't like Miss Possible dating the boss?” I asked sincerely curious now about where Anne was going with all this, I had to say it was very entertaining, this was a very deep situation and simply made you want to go along and see where things would go.
“No, because it reminded me of my own decisions” my face must have shown the confusion because Anne smiled softly for a second before taking a sip at the still warm coffee in her mug “it has to do with why I was feeling… well… jealous”
“Doc?” I tried to talk but Anne raised one hand making me stop.
“Just… let me finish please… I… I love James, but sometimes I think that maybe… maybe I grew to love him, but… other times I think that I married him because it was a safe decision, something that everyone was expecting, that the natural thing was to marry your High School sweetheart… like I said, I love James, is just that…”
“Seeing Miss Possible and the Boss together brought all that into the front all at once” I said seeing where this was going “it probably makes you question your decisions since… well, Kimberly left the safe decision and took a gamble”
“And she doesn’t care, she is too happy now to even care what other people think, and I feel jealous of my own daughter because of it, and I don’t know if to feel sad or angry at this, at myself, I feel kind of lost”
“That's… understandable, I suppose, but things like this can happen in a relationship, is normal” this was definitely one of the most bizarre nights in my life, I thought that while taking a sip of my own coffee.
“We haven't had sex for years now” Okay, now it was the most bizarre night, no question about it, sadly the liquid went the wrong way at the sudden revelation, geez, talk about being sudden. Finally regaining some control over my body I turned at the redhead finding an increased blush in her face “I seriously doubt that is normal in a perfect couple” Ann said looking directly at me with a slight blush seemingly taking permanent residence on her lovely face.
