I Want to Believe in Us
Chapter 2: Making our decision
Next Day
Rural Virginia
Mulder has been driving all day, now they are coming to the last house they liked in the ads, Virginia is a place that both like and the house is off the road, something that is favorable for their current situation, She sees the house ahead on the road and looks at it with enthusiasm 'Well this is far enough, don't you think?' he looks at her and smiles 'It's a little bit to far Scully, I don't want you driving all this every day'
She turns around to look at him and puts her hand on his cheek with tenderness 'Mulder! We need this and I don't mind' He takes her hand in his hand and kisses her palm smiling, her kindness warms his heart, then he looks ahead and see the house entrance
'Well, it has a big gate, will you be able to open it?' She looks at him raising an eyebrow and gets down of the car to open the gate, he smiles from the car looking at her, she is just adorable, she is all he always dreamed and more. He laughs when he sees the strength he has to make to move the door, but if there is one thing he is sure is that she is a strong woman, she looks at him from the door waiting for him to pass but does not move so she climbs back into the car with a smile of satisfaction on her face.
'You were saying?' he laughs denying with his face and looking at her bright eyes full of life, his heart skip a beat just looking at her 'Me? Nothing!' she punch him softly in the arm and smiles like a little girl, he laughs again and ends the road to the front of the house. A woman comes out to meet them with a huge smile that makes Scully laugh, Mulder gets out of the car and takes Scully by the hand walking towards the woman
'Welcome, I'm Doris, did you make it easy with the address, some people get lost getting here' Scully looks at Mulder piercing her lips trying to stop the laughter she feels reaching her lips, he looks at her and immediately looks at the woman avoiding the contagious laughter
'Yes, thank you, it was easy actually' the woman smile pleased and indicates the way to the house 'Well, let's go inside then'
They both look at each other while the woman walks in front of them, Mulder grimaces at Scully and she hits him on the arm trying not to laugh.
The house is really spacious, two floors, on the first floor is the living room, the kitchen with dining room included, a bathroom and a room that will serve as a study, is furnished and looks comfortable, Scully releases Mulder's hand and goes to look at every corner, her eyes shine with a happiness that he has rarely seen in her, having a house for the two really excites her, he smiles looking at her, he doesn't care much about the house, he just wants her to feel happy and secure, the woman approaches him 'Is there something you don't like Sr?' she asks cautiously, he looks at her trying understand the question until he realizes that he's been distracted
'No, no, I'm just waiting for my wife to approve' he says smiling at her. Scully looks at him from the kitchen raising an eyebrow and surprised, the woman seeing her expression, tells them to look at the house while she goes out to make a call and leave them alone.
Mulder approaches Scully and takes her by the waist pulling her towards him, she puts her hands in his arms and looks at him with a smirk
She raises an eyebrow and looks at him in disbelief 'Wife Mulder?' he smiles rocking with her from side to side and then biting her lower lip causing Scully to instinctively do the same 'She doesn't need to know anything about us, how did you want me to call you? my partner?'
She looks down and draws a heart with her finger on his chest 'I guess it's fine'.
He laughs seeing her childish expression and kisses her forehead, she gets a little nervous and moves away from him taking him by the hand guiding him to the second floor, he follows her smiling and looking at her long hair that releases all her essence while walking.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with a bathroom, the master bedroom has two closets and bathroom with bathtub, the bed is king size with many pillows on top, that make it look very provocative, Mulder imagines Scully naked on that bed stretching her arms towards him, he tries to evade his thoughts by talking again 'So, what you think? Do you like it?'
She holds him by the waist and lies on his chest listening to the beating of his heart 'Yes, and you?' He crosses his arms over her and caresses her back and her hair with tenderness, there is nothing that makes him happier than seeing her happy 'If you like it, I like it'
She raises her head to look him in the eyes and tilts her head to one side sighing 'You're going to spend all your time here, I want you to like it Mulder'
He knows that what she says is true, and the truth is he doesn't know if will be able to live locked in four walls doing nothing, that is not in his nature, but he doesn't want to worry her and she looks very happy 'I like it Scully, it will be our home, only that makes me like it, I don't need anything else, just being with you'.
She tiptoes and kisses him sweetly on the lips, he pulls her closer to him intensifying the kiss and throws her on the bed, she laughs a little blushed but waits for him to join her and kiss her again, he doesn't make her wait and leans on her using his knees as support stretching her arms over her head with his hands and kissing her avidly biting her lips, she moans his name on his lips while he lick her lips sensually going down to her neck.
Suddenly they hear footsteps on the stairs and they stand as fast as they can cleaning their lips with their hands, he combs his hair but laughs when he sees that her cheeks are red and her lips are swollen 'put a dimmer in that afterglow Scully', she blushes even more and runs to the bathroom to spread some water on her face, the woman enters the room and sees Mulder looking out the window
'Well? What do you think?' she says smiling again and hoping for a positive answer, Mulder turns to look at her and with serious expression walks towards her passing by her side and opening the closet
'We like it... I'll like to make an offer' the woman opens her eyes wide with happiness and giving an even bigger smile that almost makes him laugh in her face.
'Wonderful, I'm going down for get the contract ready then, you will not regret it' she leaves the room almost jumping and Mulder finally laughs out loud.
Scully leaves the bathroom a little nervous, Mulder laughs when he sees her and takes her hand to sit next to her on the edge of the bed.
'We'll continue this later missy', she hits him hard in the arm and he hugs her with one arm 'I will make an offer, hopefully this will be our house soon'.
She lays her head on his shoulder and caresses his leg, then they stand up holding hands and walk downstairs, they make an offer and leave the house waving goodbye to the woman, this time Mulder closes the gate while Scully waits in the car.
He gets in the car again sweating 'Woow Scully, that gate is heavy' she giggles looking at his expression and his sweat beaded forehead, he looks at her and cleans his forehead with his shirt making her looks into his abs, she looks away trying to control herself and replies with the voice in a higher tone than usual 'Not for me'
He looks at her smiling, he knows she was looking at him, he left her hanging and now she can't control herself, he decides then bend over to kiss her, she strokes his cheek and smiles closing her eyes, pulling him closer holding his neck with her other hand, he bite her lip and then sits straight in his sit again leaving her breathless, she bite her lip suppressing her desire and then puts her hand on his on the gear lever with a sigh, he smiles without looking at her knowing what she's feeling and he drives as fast as he can to the small apartment where they have lived for the last six months.
'We will have to buy many things to fill that house Scully' she looks at him one more time still with blushed cheeks, he smiles looking how adorable she looks.
'I know, but we can do it slowly, for now we will only worry about the most urgent, and we can take what we have in the apartment' she says the final words looking into his eyes and smiling widely, Mulder smirks seeing her amazing smile and leans down to kiss her faster
'But we should definitely buy a king size bed' She laughs and squeezes his hand feeling how finally he looks happy about their new life, he looks to the road again and bites his lower lip in a way that she can't resist.
'The only sure thing is that you must finish what you started' she says looking through the window, he turns to look at her again smiling without find her gaze and laughs 'now who is frustrated?' he laughs again making her let go his hand and cross her arms on her chest, he tickles her in the belly with his free hand and she raises an eyebrow trying not to laugh and looking at him again, 'Shut up Mulder!'
He parks and walks towards the apartment taking care not to be seen, after so much time they have become experts, when closing the door he holds her from the waist and carries her making her embrace his waist with her legs, she introduces her tongue sensually inside his mouth and he moans with pleasure as she takes control. He kisses her neck and she pulls her head back to give him more access to her clavicle, 'This is how I like my Scully' he walks with her to the bed and closes the door behind them with his foot.
