My brain thinks up some random thoughts sometimes. These will looks like chapters but they are shorts that are not related. Ok? ok. :) ENJOY!
The Movies
There was no reason for him to have these down here; I don't know why he ever had them in the office to begin with. Every time I'd open that damned drawer they daunt me with their titles and make me sad that he had such a perversion with them. Don't get me wrong I had always had a weakness for cheesy erotic literature but porn flicks; I just never understood anyone's interest. I guess knowing Mulder's failed romantic endeavors and being a complete workaholic it wasn't all surprising that he needed something to fill that void.
"Mulder…?" I didn't know how to approach this conversation but he's got to do something about them. Turning and looking at me he wasn't sure what my point was. "…is there any possible way these can make their way home?" I was subtle and suppressed grin and waved my hand over his movie collection.
"After how many years Scully and now they seem to be bothering you?"
"Well Jesus Mulder every time I go to look for something and I pop that drawer open, not thinking, staring up at me is 'Paranormal Probing 3.' I shut the drawer and feel the need to excuse myself just to get the images out of my mind." I was slightly disgusted at myself for having committing a title to memory.
"Come on Scully they are innocent videos that, honestly, I haven't watched in awhile, you could see the sheen of dust on them all."
"I'd rather not see them at all…." I huffed quietly and made my way to my corner of the office and plop myself down on the chair.
Waltzing himself over to my side, I could sense his eyes staring at me uncomfortably so. I turned and caught his gaze.
"Does it really bother you that much?" he questioned, as if why all the sudden.
"I don't know…I guess I just never felt like speaking up before now. I mean trust me Mulder I'm sure everyone knows you have a fascination with porn but to flaunt it at the office and have a whole drawer dedicated to it…" I trailed off as he eyeballed me.
"Dana Scully, are you jealous…?" he retorted back slyly and I realized he'd been analyzing me, profiling the reactions to his answers. I stared at him for a moment not wanting to answer.
"Umm of what, the bimbo girls in your videos that put on a fake show so that guys like you can—"I waved my hand not wanting to continue that conversation.
"Girls watch porn too Scully, it's not all men." He was quick to answer in defense.
"You picked the wrong girl to have that argument with, Mulder. "
"Come on Scully, honestly? There has to be one selection in that drawer that peaked your interest…" he was pushing it. I vaguely remembered watching something with girlfriends back in college but it was so pathetic and not something I'd really watch to get myself all worked up and get off too.
"Mulder most of those videos are marketed towards men and you know it." I wasn't really interested in having this conversation with him right now, nor ever really.
"I know this may sound kind of weird Scully but I bet I could find you something you'd enjoy, I could tell just by analyzing you what you'd like…" he was determined and I was a little disturbed at the thought of Mulder shopping through his porn collection for me. I stared at him not sure what to say, my face, I'm sure a shade a crimson he'd not seen before.
"Mulder—I—I'm going to go for the day I think." I started packing my belongings to head out, I'm sure I could do most of the work I needed to get done from home anyways.
"Scully, wait…"my hands were full and I was about ready to walk out the door, hoping to leave the conversation there. "…I'm sorry, I crossed the line…" I smile at his apology.
"You know Mulder, it's not that they really bother me but why you have a need to have them here when I'm down here with you most of the time?" I smirk at him and give him a raised eyebrow, he looked at me shocked that I'd come up with a quick retort such as that.
"Scully…?" he wasn't sure what to say as I caught him off guard. That should teach him, I'm asking him a simple favor and he's the one that's sends it this direction, there is no reason I can't play back. I place my things back on the table I was working at and catch his gaze again. His mouth was still dry with where this conversation had gone and I felt proud, not very often can people catch Fox Mulder off his guard.
"You ok Mulder?" I ask him as I sit back down in my usual chair and cross my legs at the knee, giving him a little thigh to stare at. "Hey, up here." I had to draw his attention away from my legs, it wasn't the first time and I laugh slightly.
"I'm thinking of a movie for you, Scully that's all…" he really was contemplating but I doubt that's what it was about.
"Stop, it's not going to happen. What you thought we'd just sit down here and watch porn together? Not going to happen g-man." I could see the excitement in his face as I said it and shook my head, "…just take them home and we don't have to have this conversation." I give him a big grin that showed I was done with this discussion.
"Ok, ok, I'll let it go Scully but I want to know one thing, while we are on the discussion of movies…" I sighed and prepared myself for his question. "…do you have a favorite 'love scene' from just a regular movie?" I contemplate what he'll get out of my answer, should I even lower myself enough to answer him? Every woman has a favorite sex scene from a movie, one that gets them going, holding their breath, biting and licking their lips, oh yeah. I bite my lip and think for a moment, I honestly have two answers, one I remember being talked about when I was a teenager, though I didn't think anything of it at the time but as I got older was able to watch the movie and appreciate the sexiness oozing from the scene.
"Do you have any guesses for me?" I'm trying to buy myself some time, just so I make sure I'm satisfied with my answer.
"Scully you peg me for a 'Pretty Woman' type of love scene…" I bob my head in a subtle agreement, noting that it was a good one but not nearly as good as what I really enjoy, so I shake my head back and forth, "…no?" he is disappointed that he guessed wrong.
"I have two actually." I state looking at his eyes light up in anticipation and I bite my lip.
"Was I close on the genre?" he was hoping he guessed in the ballpark, maybe we need to start having movie date nights. Though I shake my head and he lowers his in defeat. Looking back up at me I decide to give him a sign and exaggerate uncrossing my legs and crossing them again, difficult in the current skirt I was wearing but with a slight adjustment and more leg exposed I made due.
"Basic Instinct?" I smile at his response, "…Wow, Scully, yeah didn't see that one coming—good choice—it's umm sexy." I'm slightly insulted that he thinks I'm so prudish, knowing we haven't crossed that barrier in our relationship; it has been stuck in the back of my mind for awhile though. "Why that one?" He further questions me and I'm shocked that he has questioned my selection.
"What do you mean? It's a great sex scene!"
"Yeah, I know it is as good as it gets for general movie ratings. Is it the acts or…?" I look at him and furrow my brow in slight confusion but I ponder his question nonetheless.
"That wasn't part of the deal of questioning Agent Mulder." I state and stand wandering about, stretching my legs.
"Aren't you going to tell me your other one?"
I pondered a few moments wandering around the office, making figure eights with my steps, I can feel his eyes boring into me, and he wants to know so desperately, for what joyful purpose? Just to know? Is this getting closer to us being closer? Just another conversation I suppose.
"It's an older movie, 1970's, I think I was 13 or 15 when I heard people talking about, or reading about it…"
"Oh, an oldie but goodie huh? Those are some of the best." He waggled his eyebrows at me, hoping for something really dirty I'm sure.
"…'Don't Look Now,' Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. It's an old one but the way they cut the sex scene with the other scene—"I realize I'm getting into the moment, feeling flushed and making myself very uncomfortable talking about the scene with Mulder, "…have you seen it?" I ask him and he nods slowly, biting his lip and making his way around his desk to sit back down. He's in deep thought and I watch his body language trying to gauge what's wrong. "…I uhh—I think I'm going to head home…" I state simply and gather my things again, smiling to myself as I've finally realized why he's concealing himself from me.
"Have a good night, Scully, I'll see you tomorrow." He clears his throat as he bids me farewell and I make my way out of the office grinning ear to ear now that he can't see my face. I hear him bang his head on the desk as I walk out of the door and stifle a giggle to myself, how brave I have become with Fox Mulder, this could be an interesting way to further our relationship. Truth or dare style.
