Day 09: A song that you dance to – who doesn't dance to this song when it's on at a party or in a 80's nightclub? No one that I want to know anyway!


[I Wanna Dance with Somebody – Whitney Houston]


"Come on," she pleaded to her two best friends as they closed another case. "How often is it that I'm pleading with you two to go out?" She pointed out knowing that that would make them see sense. All she wanted was to go to McIntyre's and have a drink or two followed by a dance on the nightclub. The last case had been that stressful that she just wanted to unwind and have a laugh with her best friends.

"That's a fair point," Stuart smiled as he looked over at Robbie who was staring at her.

"I still think she's been taken over by aliens or something. Maybe we should phone Mulder and Scull..." the sentence ended as a rubber bounced off his forehead causing him whining to glare at her before sighing. "Fine. It's a good thing we have the day off tomorrow because you'll be wrecked after a night out with me, Jacks." He teased with a wink before smiling as she clapped her hands together, happy that she'd won them over.

"Okay. I'll go change into my best dress and meet you at McIntyre's?" She replied waving at them before leaving the building, the two of them shaking their heads as they finished up their own typing.


It was eleven o clock, on the hour, when Jackie finally arrived at the nightclub. The sun had long since faded but that didn't bother her because she'd long since figured out that being here in the nightclub with her two best friends would chase away the blues she'd felt after the latest case. Giving Ralph a hug, she smiled as she moved into the nightclub and spied her two friends at a booth with Ewan standing between the curtains that made them 'private'. Moving up behind him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed a kiss to his jaw. "Hello,"

"Well hello beautiful," he said turning round and gave her a hug before moving aside so that she could move in to sit beside Robbie. It wasn't long before one of the scantily clad waitresses arrived with a tray of drinks. "Now my lovelies, I have work to be getting on with so enjoy your nights and you," he said turning to look at Stuart, his hand taking hold of his shirt collar as he pulled him close, "if you get a moment, feel free to pop into the back office." He said with a wink before pressing a kiss to his mouth, ignoring the vomiting sounds behind made by Robbie in the background.

When Ewan left, Jackie pouted as she leant her head against Robbie's shoulder causing him to wrap his arm around her shoulder. "Someone is jealous again," he spoke after a few minutes before having a elbow to his side.

"Just because you have enough lady callers to never feel lonely, Robbie," she teased pouting at him before taking hold of her drink and taking a sip as she saw Stuart smiling at them affectionately. "Don't you grin at us like that when it's obvious you want to disappear." She said pointing at him with an accusatory finger before grinning at him. "Get out of here," and she laughed because he didn't need telling twice.

"Well," Robbie said watching their best friend leave, "I don't want to know what Ewan and he will be getting up to."

"They'll be having drinks," she said drinking through her straw but the seductive manner, and add the wink, indicated that she knew they would be doing much more than that. The two men were still madly in love despite having been together so many years. Everything was fresh and new. She was jealous and she didn't even bother lying about it. However she laughed when she spied the two men in the middle of the dance floor. "We were both wrong," she pointed out before smiling as she watched the way they moved against each other. "I'm going to go dance," she said with a smile before slipping out of the booth.

She, however, didn't join them because she could sense that they didn't want disturbing. She just danced awkwardly to the side, a smile on her face as she was pulled into dance with a random group of girls so that she wasn't alone. She couldn't help but feel slightly saddened though as she could see the love on Ewan's face as he looked down at Stuart. That's how she wanted to dance with someone. She wanted to feel the heat, the love and passion that one touch could stir as they moved against you.

She was just about to move off the floor when a pair of arms wrapped around her middle and she'd have stiffened at the bold move but a familiar aftershave washed over her. She smiled as she leant back against him, her hips swinging to the beat of the music and she couldn't help but grin at how the innocent dance move had made him groan. Turning round to look at him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I thought you didn't dance," she asked as his hands moved to take hold of her hips so that they could move together.

"Well I only dance when there's someone worth dancing with," he said with a grin and she couldn't help but smile up at him as she moved against him, not caring that his hands were moving up and down her body. "And you," he said moving nearer so that their lips could rub together in a small kiss, "are most definitely worth dancing with."
