23- Dec
They've basically arrived to her mother house only like hour ago. They come back to DC after that strange case. The case wasn't hard at all but still unbelievable. Something happened over there and the tension between the two of them rises immediately. She know that they getting closer to each other every single day. She can feel it and enjoyed it. She was still questioning if that's really right thing to do for the two co-workers, best friends. But she cannot refuse that she can feel this. She closed her eyes and whole thing just hit her. They were in small town in Tennessee. They spouse to find the reason why the rains over there are always sweet. She of course said that this is not possible but just follow Mulder as always. First few days they were bored to the edges. Of course they went and did the hearings all over the places. She takes the samples of ground and water from the lake for the testing. When the rain starts on the 4th day of their case they run out from the motel. She takes samples of it. Then she starts to catch drops to her palm. She was so surprised when he takes her palm and tastes the rains from the palm. His eyes reached hers. All she can see an ocean of desire and love over there. Just then she simply takes her hand away and turn away just to scare of what may happened then. And now she was standing in her mum's living room just looking out of the window. All lights have been already switched off and light noises from the kitchen were reaching her ears. It was so peaceful and nice. She can still feel some heat from the fireplace. Then she feels the soft touch on her back. She wasn't surprised or scared. She was waiting for him to join her. She turns around. Her eyes met his straight away. She must admit to herself that lately they share those looks much more often that previously. No one of them just break the rules. She knows that there are on the edges and one day they will simply cross the line. He takes her hands into his and they foreheads joined. They were still locked in each other eyes. They can feel their breaths joining. His face was just so close. She can feel the urge to kiss his so she move her face a little bit closer but still leave the space for him to make final move. Suddenly someone turn on the lights they almost jumped away braking the contact
-Sorry – Tara her sister-in-low said- I haven't got an idea that you two are here
-you don't need to excuse Tara – Scully says– we were just about to joined you in the kitchen anyway – she was still blushing…– common Mulder we not drive all way here to spend the Christmas alone in the living room. He simply nods his head and goes to the kitchen. –just friends huh? – Tara whisper to her ear with an eye wink. She blushed even more and follows Mulder to the kitchen. She sat next to him without even a single glance on him. They ate the dinner exchanging only little conversation with the rest of the family. When the dinner finished Tara insist that she will be one to help with the dishes. Bill excuses everyone on and goes upstairs to get Matthew to bed. They were left alone. Dana doesn't even notice when their hands joined. They were playing with each other fingers. Her eyes locked with his. It's feels like the whole world around them doesn't exist anymore. They again nearly jump when they hear her mother voice
-Anyone fancy a movie? – Maggie asks with a big smile on her face
-Sure mom- Scully said without even asking what kind of movie her mom refers to. They go to living room – they sat on the sofa. Maggie place herself on a big armchair. Tara brings popcorn and starts DVD and sat on the sofa next to Scully. When the Shakespeare in Love starts Scully glanced at Mulder quickly and notices only a small smirk on his lips. In the middle of the movie Maggie excuse herself and went to her bedroom. Soon enough Tara follows her as Bill hasn't manage to go down to join them. As soon as they were left alone Mulder place an arm around her and she put her hand down to his chest. Soon enough she falls asleep.
