Secrets CHAPTER 1
Weddings and Parties PART 1
She was wearing a light powder blue dress to her knees. It clung to her body in the right places while bringing out her bluish green eyes. At the top it tied in a diamond like rhinestone halter-tie. Special Agent Dana Scully looked absolutely breathtaking in this dress. Her hair was in a low bun. Curled pieces fell out of the bun and began to frame her face. As she put on the final touches of makeup and fixed her shoe straps her cell phone began to ring.
"Scully." she said answering it at once, hoping it would be her date saying he would be leaving now.
"Hey, it's me. I'm leaving right now."
"Alright." The short red-head said turning her head to her digital clock, checking the time. It read 1:30 AM. The wedding ceremony started at 2:30.
"And scully.."
"Yeah Mulder?"
"What's your cousins name...the one who's getting married?" He asked.
"Bradley."She said flatly as if it wasn't the tenth time he had asked this.
"Well I'll see you in five. Bye."
And with Scully's words of bye they hung up. He would be there any minute now. He would look sharp. Mulder does clean up nicely.
As a knock on the door sounded Scully began to get the butterflies.
'Snap out of it,' she thought as she looked in the mirror and grabbed her purse. 'this is no big deal.'
On the contrary it was a big deal. If it wasn't she wouldn't have obsessed over which dress to buy and how to do her hair. Yes, this definitely was a big deal. She for some reason wanted her partner to see her as beautiful. She wanted him to see her as a stunning lady... not as his good-looking partner...if that's even how he saw her.
As she opened the door she was left completely speechless at the sight of Mulder. And he was left even more speechless at seeing her. Mulder wore his best dress pants a white shirt and a light powdered blue tie, matching Scully's dress. His hair was all neat and he smelt like Scully's favorite aftershave. They just stood there staring. Until Scully spoke.
"Well, are we gonna.."
"Yes." he answer blushingly.
He lent Scully his arm as they walked down the hall to his the elevator.
2:40. They were going to be just on time. Mulder opened the door for her to his car, just as any gentleman would. The awkward silence that they had in the elevator was over. That was only the first two minutes. 'Why are we acting like this.' she thought looking out the window.
Once Mulder got into the car they began discussing everything and anything. 'She's gorgeous.' he thought as he directed his attention off the road to Scully for one brief moment. Weddings are very emotional, and he knew this. He only hoped he could keep focusing on trying to be just her friend even thought he wanted more. There were some days where he wanted to forget the rules of having a relationship with your colleague.
"Mulder do you have any tissues." She asked plainly once he stopped going on about that weird dream he had the night prior.
"Tissues? Yeah check in the glove department."
"Weddings always make me cry..." she started as she reached for the tissues.
"Awe Scully." he said jokingly. He received a small push of his arm. Luckily he was at the stop light.
"Shut up Mulder." She joked back. As they pulled into the wedding parking lot. Scully had another thing she must bring up to Mulder. She wasn't to sure how he'd react. And she thought it might feel a little weird. However, she was about to give it a try.
"And Mulder," She began. "Would you call me Dana instead. Just for tonight."
"If you want. Why?" He said while pulling in to the first available parking spot he found.
"Well, we're in front of my family and I think it would sound better if you wou-" He cut her off.
"Are you gonna want to call me Fox?" He asked hoping for the answer of no. He still loathed his name.
"I was thinking of calling you Spooky... but I can deal with either Fox or Mulder." she laughed. A small smile appeared on his face. She wanted to call him Fox, just so she could skip over the curiosity, and see how it would feel to finally be on a first name basis.
"Call me Fox. We've been working together for what 4 years now? I think we're ready to be on a first name basis. But only when we're not at work." Even though he loathed his first name, just like Scully he was willing to try this first name thing out.
It was 3:07.
As they both stepped out of the car. Mulder laughed.
"I was planning on being a gentleman and getting the door for you but.."
"Oh I just never pinned you to be a gentleman, Mul---Fox." She began to show some teeth with that smile.
"Hey, I have my days," He laughed "And Dana, you're looking really nice." And with those words he offered her his arm to be escorted to the church.
"Thank you. You clean up nicely yourself too." They walked on into the church where they found Mrs. Scully, Bill with his wife and kids, and Charlie with his wife and kids standing.
"Dana, Fox!" Mrs. Scully announced going up to the two, embracing her daughter, and then her daughter's date/partner.
"Nice to see you again, Mrs. Scully." He said with a smile, and then looking up noticing the disgusted look on Bill's face aimed directly at Mulder.
"Now, Fox! Please call me Maggie." She smiled.
"Alright." He returned the smile and walked over to the rest of Scully's family.
"Mom, you look great." Dana said acknowledging her mom's ensemble.
"As do you dear," she began in a normal voice and then drifted into a whisper "Glad you have brought Fox as your date." They both smiled at each other whole-heartedly, and then turned to see how Mulder was with Bill.
First Mulder shook Charlie's hand, Charlie's wife's hand, and then high fived their son and daughter. They met before and he was a real hit with the kids. Which made Scully briefly think about how he would be as a father. Then he shook Bill's wife Tara's Hand, high fived their daughter, and then he came to Bill. He looked at Bill and outstretched his hand, waited for him to take it but he never did.
As the walked down the aisle for their seats, Mulder grabbed Scully's hand. She looked up and smiled.
They were all silently waiting for the ceremony to begin. The choir was singing and people were finishing up their hellos as they made their way to their seats.
'He's still holding my hand...' Scully smiled to herself. 'I wonder what he's thinking.'
'If I'm luckily...by the end of tonight maybe she would see me as more than her partner and her friend. Eh I don't know. She's aware of the in office relationships. I can really use some sunflower seeds right now.' He thought, while staring down at his hand in hers.
The 'Wedding March' had just begun and everyone began to rise and shift their attention from what it was previously on to the flower girls beginning to process there was down the aisle followed by the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. And then finally the vision in white and gold, the bride.
