Chapter 4: Jack Willis
"Missy, I want to go home…" Scully said mildly.
"What?" Melissa rolled her eyes.
"I want to go home" Scully repeated.
"Why? Everything is amazing, hot guys, beautiful sights, cool air… I should think you would like this!"
"No, you are the one who likes this type of vacation, not me. I wanna go home!" Scully shook her head.
"Hmmm, has anything happened between you and Mulder?"
"NO!" Scully jumped.
"HA, I see," Melissa smiled knowingly, "Danes, what did he do? I noticed that you two disappeared tonight. I thought you had a good time with him?"
"Not really…" Scully sighed.
"Did he do anything?"
"No, no, he didn't" Scully shook her head again.
"Why do you want to go home?"
Suddenly, Tara stepped to the tent, interrupting them.
"What? You want to go home?"
"Hm… yes" Scully replied quietly.
"Please, don't…" Tara nearly cried.
"Huh?"
"Don't… This is my first vacation with Bill…"
"So…?" Scully raised her eyebrows. She still didn't understand Tara's expression.
"If you go home, then Bill will go home too. I know him too well, he will never leave his sisters alone. So please don't go… I'm begging you…"
"It's… OK, I will stay" Scully sighed, nodding.
Tara hugged her tightly, "Thank you."
Scully opened her eyes. She couldn't sleep, thinking about Mulder. He was so handsome, she was breathless looking into his hazel eyes. Scully had met many handsome guys before, but Mulder was different. Sometimes he behaved weirdly, like tonight. She was very happy spending time with him in that forest, catching a ghosts. What was this feeling? She didn't understand why she felt so unhappy after hearing his words. He was attracted to Melissa… But he was just Bill's friend, her friend, so what was her problem? Was it jealousy? No! Dana Scully shook her head. "I'm not jealous of my sister!" she thought.
Scully stood up quietly, trying not to wake Melissa up. It was midnight, she decided to take a walk.
"Hey!" A man slapped her back.
"Ouch!" Scully jumped.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Jack looked at her, smiling sweetly.
"Hi Jack," she smiled back.
"Hi Dana, what are you doing here? Don't tell me that you are waiting for the meteor too."
"Too?" Scully asked curiously.
"Yes, there will be some falling stars tonight, I'm waiting for it." Jack looked at the sky.
"Oh… How do you know?"
"My grandfather is an astronomer; he taught me to about the stars and when they will be coming."
"It's cool, Jack. I love all the stars. When I was a child, my father used to tell me some stories about them."
"Do you want to wait for a falling star with me? They are coming soon."
"Of course."
They sat on the soft grass, talking about the stars. Jack looked into her sparking blue eyes, they were so beautiful, like the stars in the sky. He even forgot his name when she was smiling at him.
"Hey, are you here?" Scully waved her hand.
"Oh… yes.. I'm sorry. I was distracted."
"Hmmm… I have never seen a falling star before," she told him.
"It's very…"
"LOOK! JACK! THEY ARE… FALLING STARS, DID YOU SEE? DID YOU SEE?" Scully yelled joyfully. She was like a kid seeing a fairy for the first time. "I see, I see…" Jack smiled.
"They are so beautiful…" Scully whispered, still looking at the sky.
"Just as beautiful as your eyes."
"Thank you," His compliment made her blush, her cheeks went red.
"Oh my God, she's so adrorable…" Jack thought. Jack leaned closer to her. He wanted to kiss her.
"HEY!"
Scully and Jack jumped.
"What are you doing here?" Mulder asked annoyed.
"Watching the stars," Jack replied.
"Stars?" Mulder wanted to yell "you were going to kiss her!" but he kept this thought to himself.
"It's not your business. We don't have to tell you," Scully said coldly. She stood up, walking back to her tent.
Mulder followed, holding her wrist to stop her.
"What's happened? What did I do wrong?" He didn't understand why she was cold with him. She was so nice to him, just hours before.
"Nothing! I want to get some sleep now!" She shoved his hands away.
"But…"
"No buts, Mulder, she said that she want to go! Let her go!" Jack caught up with them.
"Ok… I'm sorry."
Scully stepped to her tent, not saying a word. Mulder turned to face Jack.
"I saw you, Jack, you were going to kiss her!"
"As Dana said, it's not your business!" Jack shrugged.
"Of course it's my business!" Mulder yelled.
"Why?"
"Because… because… because she's the sister of my best friend!"
Mulder finally found a good reason.
"So?" Jack didn't seem to give up.
"So I have to protect her!"
"What a nice guy!" Jack laughed.
"What? Why are you laughing like that?"
"It's a good reason, but I don't buy it, Mulder. I know you like her. I do too. But do you know what the difference is?"
"What?" Mulder's mouth dried.
"The difference is I like her and I can tell the world about it, but you, Mulder, because you are Bill's best friend, you have no chance!" Jack smirked.
"Bill will kick your ass!"
"Who cares?"
Jack shrugged, walking past Mulder.
Mulder held his fist. He couldn't give up like this. He liked this girl and he would never let Jack win.
