So this chapter is pathetic. Basically just fluff. I have run out of ideas of what to write- I know where I want the story to go, just not how to get there. So if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
When I woke up I was sprawled sideways across Mulder's chest. I shimmied down and turned so that my head was once again at his level. He was still asleep, breathing even deep breaths. I smiled; out of everything we've been through he can look so peaceful and carefree while he is sleeping. I snuggled my nose into his neck and inhaled his musky scent. The scent that was all Mulder. His clothing that sit in my closet are starting to lose his smell, it's now that I appreciate him even more. Realizing how much I need him when I don't want to admit it to myself. I continue to stare at him, studying the contours of his face. I bring my hand down to his navel; softly but slowly drag my nails up to his collar bone. This causes him to stir; he sighs and turns his head to face me, smiling. I peek my eye out from under his chin to look at him- this angle makes his nose look extra-large so I start to laugh. Then suddenly my laughs turn into full belly laughs causing me to sit up, all the weight and depression I've been carrying with me ebbs away. He looks at me like I've lost my mind. All I can do is point to his nose and continue laughing. He scowls at me which just makes me laugh harder. Mulder just sits through the whole episode looking amused. Finally my laughter subsides.
"What was that all about?" Mulder asks giving me another look.
"I-I don't even remember anymore…" I trail off; he's looking at me suspiciously.
"No- I will not accept that as an answer. You were laughing harder than I'd ever seen and you pointed at my nose. So what's wrong with my nose hmm? Don't you like it?" I chuckled again.
"There's nothing wrong with your nose Mulder. It's just, the angle and your nose being what it is…" I smile at him. He continues to look at me with suspicion.
"And what is my nose exactly Miss Scully? Enlighten me. Please, tell me what it is about my nose that amuses you so." He pokes me in the side playfully.
"Oh you know full well what your nose is." I flash a wicked smile back at him.
"You know Miss Scully", he says crawling towards me. "you should be very cautious about what you say… you never know what may…provoke someone" And with that he tackled me, pinning me to the bed.
"No! I'm innocent!" I squirmed until I somehow managed to break free of his grasp.
"Where are you going?" He asked turning over onto his back so he could see me.
"Oh you know- I'm feeling a little dirty. Need to get cleaned up." I winked at him. He scrambled out of the bed and fell on his face. I tried to stifle a chuckle but couldn't. He got up and slowly walked over to me with a predatory gleam in his eyes. He went for my waist but I leaped over to the bathroom door, ran in a shut it. I heard a slight nocking.
"Why Miss Scully, are you sure you don't need any assistance… for those hard to reach places?"
I giggled. "Nope, I'm okay. You just relax Mulder." I stripped down making sure that his shirt hit the floor with a loud enough noise. I turned the water on and turned around expecting Mulder to be there. He wasn't. I went back over to the door and opened it; Mulder was lying down on the bed facing the bathroom door. I raised my eyebrow at him and he smiled. "What are you doing Mulder?"
"Exactly what you asked me to. I am…relaxing." I glared at him, he just smiled back.
"Well it's a shame you now decide to listen to me, this shower is going to be oh so lonely without the presence of a big strong man." I said in a flushed voice. He growled and ran after me to the bathroom.
The water was beating down on our bodies; I was pressed up against the wall. Mulder's hands were everywhere- they felt like fire on my skin. He trailed kisses down my neck over my collar bone and back up. When we finally both came down from our euphoric high we towled each other off and went back into the room.
As we sat on the bed leaning against each other I finally decided to tell him what has been on my mind. "I can't stay you know. I have to get back to William."
He sighed "I know, I just- I just wish we could all be together, as a proper family." He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "I just miss you both so much. I'm sure Gibson's getting sick of my thoughts. No doubt he's getting a full show just how much I miss you." I turned and looked him in the eye.
"Okay that is more than I need to know, I don't need the thought of Gibson knowing our every intimate detail. But he's got to be used to it by now. We will be together again. William, you, me. You are mine forever. We may not have any legal binding, or have had a fancy ceremony. But I know the depth of love I feel for you, sometimes it all hits me at once and it can get overwhelming; then I think of you and I know you feel the same. Because we're connected like that. Unspoken." I said all this while keeping my gaze on his. We sat like that gazing at each other, I don't know how long.
I got up and started changing into the other outfit I had put in my bag. Mulder just watched me, his eyes filled with love and pain. "I know you know that I don't want to go. I also know you know that I have to. You are not safe while I'm here and neither is William." Upon seeing his look I held up my hand. "No I did not tell anyone where I was going, not even my mother who is watching William." I sighed. "We can't do this again. It's too painful for me to separate from you. We will meet again, once it is safe. But for now we will just have to communicate via email. I'm sure you can find time once in a while to get to an internet café." He nodded, by now I was once again seated on the bed. He pulled me close.
"I've become a regular at a little place two hours from where Gibson and I are staying. Apparently they don't get many customers, for I've only been in there a handful of times and those were all to email you." He kissed my check. "I'll bring you to the airport, but first I want to show you this little café." He stood up and pulled me with him. "Common G-woman! We need to get some food into you- at the very least some caffeine." I chuckled at this. We made our way hand in hand to his car.
Okay so there is some information- I suddenly got an idea, not much of an idea, but an idea nonetheless. But more ideas are still appreciated.
