Chapter 1. Reunion
S: Roads have been our home, well motels too, but our greatest discoveries and approaches between us have been driving.
Since the first case Mulder has guided me through all sorts of towns and remote places, we had accidents, we had been persecuted, we even have collided but deep down I feel that driving we get to know each other, we became friends, we began to trust each other and we fell in love, although neither of us wanted to accept it.
When Skinner called me again I was upset, the last time with Father Joe and everything that happened, I felt I started to lose him, and I did, I had to leave his side, he lost himself in the past, looking for Samantha again, I couldn't stay, I wasn't able to stay, it hurted us so much, he was empty and I won't let him take all of me, I see now how selfish I was, it was his life, still is, I just hope I will be able to be there with him this time.
Now we are driving again, after all this years, we are close but still far from each other, I really need to get closer again, I miss him and I know he misses me too.
M: She is with me again, I told her the same thing I did the last time, that I won't do it alone, and she is here, right next to me, she is looking the road, she hasn't spoke, we still need to recover that connection we used to share years ago, when she was my perfect half, I like to think she still is, but I don't know her feeling anymore, she is unconditional, always there for me, but I don't know if she still love me, if she feel the same i'm feeling now that she is here, with me, I want our life back, I want her next to me all the time, I need her presence, her silence, her eyes always so full of words, she is my perfect opposite, no doubt of that, I just need to find a way of bring her back to me.
S: We stop in a remote place, nothing that really surprises me, but we're not twenty anymore, even though Mulder continues to love the danger and the unknown, all I can and want to do is support him and follow him, I've always trusted him and that will not change, I want to be by his side even when our lives are in danger.
He looks at me, still quiet, but he is concerned, I can feel what he's feeling, I won't ask him anything, he will need to tell me something at some point, I mean, this is his case, I have no idea what we are doing or where we're going, but he just get down of the car, close the door and turn on his flashlight, I do the same, there's no houses around, the last one was a mile away, we are in the woods now, I hate cases like this, a lot of things can happen, and I'm not wearing appropriate shoes, if he is concerned, we might find something soon.
M: She did not speak the whole trip and still doesn't, why? what is going on? She loves to talk and tell me how wrong I am all the time, why is she so quiet? I know she is thinking, I see it in her expression but still, she has her flashlight too, that brought me memories, Scully has never left me even when I have had stupid ideas that have left us unexplained. She is brave, never behind me, always by my side even in dangerous situations, I am still glad to be able to count on her even now when I don't know where I'm going, I feel a laugh coming, no, she can't know that I'm just fooling around, the only mistake here is the woods, she is wearing high heels, I didn't think about it, she is going to kill me, but I don't regret it, I just need to talk, alone, just the two of us, this is where we have to be, I just want her by my side, I miss her and I know she misses me too. We keep walking, she wants to ask me where we are, but she keeps quiet, why she insists on not talking to me? I don't understand, she is the one who always has the questions, I only have an answer, but she continues in silence forcing me to be the one who speaks. I ask her how she is, she gives me the usual answer, "I'm fine Mulder", but she can't resist it and add something at last.
-Can I know where the hell we are?-
Yeah, that's my Scully, I have an answer for that, I need to keep her talking,
What Scully? Would you rather we're always locked in the basement? -
She gave me that reproachful look with her raised eyebrow,
We're in the middle of nowhere and I don't think there's a civilization trail in miles, so, I want to know, where are we going, Mulder?
I heard a big YESSS! booted in my head, now I have to tell her that I have no idea where we are, how will I tell her I just want to be alone with her?, so I go over to her, grab her by the neck and pull her to me and kiss her. That caught her by surprise and she tried to escape at first, but then, she correspond to my kiss passionately, I put her arms over my shoulders and grab her waist, it is a familiar kiss, like the ones we used to share before , the taste of her lips is the same, the scent of her hair makes me drunk, it's her, there in the middle of nowhere, trapped in my arms as before, we separate to breath and then continue the dance of our lips, she missed me, just like I did, I know it, her kiss tell me that.
Suddenly there's a noise that pull us apart, we can't see anything, the noise continue, so we run to the car.
S: Damn it! What was that noise? We were having a moment, I look at Mulder, he is looking at me while running, his eyes have a spark, God he is so crazy, I love that about him. I give him the keys so he can drive, he take them, he starts the car as fast as he can and we leave the place, I look around, there's nothing, maybe it was an animal, but I think I heard footsteps, it doesn't matter now.
While he drives, he alternates his view between the rear view and forward, I can only watch him, I can't believe he brought me to the end of the world to kiss me, he didn't have to make up an excuse to do it, but after all, I don't care, I'm not even angry, I'm actually glad we're far from everyone and everything, alone. He extends his hand to me and puts it on my thigh and he looks at me with those eyes, those eyes full of love, I take his hand and bring it to my lips to kiss it and then I caress his hair, just as I like it so much, he asks me if I'm okay, I give him my usual answer, but it's the truth this time, I'm fine, I feel great, I feel alive again.
We parked at a nearby motel, he asks for two rooms but I don't let him, instead I tell the attending boy that we only need one room, Mulder looks at me strangely but with a bright smile, I get blush, he wanted to be a gentleman, i get it, but there's no need, we have been together before, so why sleep apart, who cares about the FBI's rules, not us indeed. He takes my hand and lead me through the corridors, this is familiar, brings me back a lot of memories, I know he is thinking the same because we look at each other with silly smiles, I love him so much, those hazel eyes hypnotize me, he opens the door and before he can close it, he starts to kiss me, tenderly first and then as our breaths accelerate the kisses intensify, he looks into my eyes like anyone else can, he sees me completely, he knows me like he knows himself, we get on the bed and he begins to undress me as he had done so many times before, he loves looking at me while he does it, I'm shaking, I'm not nervous, I'm just full with desire, I help him to take off my clothes and then his, he kisses my neck and gets down to my breast, my abdomen, my thighs, I'm on fire, god he drives me crazy, while his body and mine melt into one, I feel that I come back to life, Mulder complements me, is and will always be the only man in my life, the way he looks at me, how he touches me and how he cares for me, I know he feels the same. Our bodies get a rhythm, our breaths are accelerated, the desire consumes us, so long without being linked as one makes our meeting more exciting, we reach the climax together in what seems an unattainable and unrepeatable moment, when we finally feel satiated with each other, we remain embraced until at last sleep catches us.
M: I don't know how long we slept, but the sun was already seeping through the window, I don't remember the last time I slept this much, it was a long time ago, like this, hugging her, feeling her heartbeat, her hair on my chest, our legs entwined , our measured breaths. The touch of her skin on mine fills me with happiness, it's my Scully, it's still the same despite the time elapsed, my beautiful little redhead.
She sighs and opens her beautiful blue eyes to look at me, she gives me a smile, she is happy, that is more than enough for me. I put a lock of hair behind her ear and kiss her forehead. She sighs again and closes her face to mine to kiss me, a sweet kiss of good morning.
I can't be happier, she did not refuse me, instead she wanted to be with me, I shouldn't have brought her so far, but I needed to be away from everyone so I could be with her alone.
She asks me how I woke up.
How did I wake up? better than ever, I feel more alive than ever, that's what I feel but as always, I can't tell her, I simply reply that I'm fine with a smile, she kisses me again and gets up from the bed to go to the bathroom, she is naked, I contemplate her , she is so perfect, she blushes and chuckles low, before closing the door of the bathroom behind her.
