Wow I got so many reviews that I was shocked. Okay well if that's the case I guess I have no choice but to get back in and finish what I started.
High School Life 14_
Scully stood up from the floor of the library and placed the book on the short bookshelf as she used it to hold herself up as she stood up straight. Her legs were sore from kneeling as she looked at the tittles of the book.
"Moby Dick?"
She quickly looked to where her book was and it was gone. Mulder was leaning on the opposite side with an elbow on the top and holding the book; as he read the back of the book he popped a seed in his mouth.
"Can I have the book back?" she held out her hand out.
"Is the book any good? I'm not too fond to sperm whales. The biggest mammals on this planet, when I was little I often mistaken the gigantic monster for a fish."
"You've seen one?"
"…No…" he said with a dead tone. "I get sea sick."
"Well there is Sea World."
"I have the Discovery Channel." A seed went in his mouth as he continued to flip through the pages.
"If you want to read it I can get the other copy."
"Oh I should and then we can start a book club… get together every Wednesdays and talk about what the chapter of Brit and Chapter 12 of Walden have in common. Like how Thoreau and Melville both use water to represent how to view a humanities soul by using water. How a lake is peaceful, Thoreau. And the ocean is a dangerous place and to get to know yourself you must find your darker side, Melville."
Scully gave Mulder a questioning look and he smirked as he placed two more seeds in his mouth. "I already read it." He handed her the book back.
"Really?"
"And the movie sucks by the way. Another reason why I hate the beach."
"Afraid to find a whale on shore? Or finding a whale explode from the inside out?"
"No not the Tainan City incident…no… get eaten."
"By a whale? They eat-"
"A shark. I'm talking about Jaws. If you paid close attention you can see how Jaw and Moby Dick are so alike. Creatures being nature and humans in pursuit of their own selfish desires mess with the wrong animal and it only cause the animal to go wild."
"Discovery Channel?"
Another seed.
"I stick to picture books Scully. I can see them and examine how their thoughts in the page come together with the selected pictures. Plus in an odd way I am reading as much and as long as Moby Dick there."
"A picture says a thousand words?"
He nodded. Scully placed the book on the check out desk and watched as she saw him checking out his own books.
"UFO's and Loch Ness Monster?"
Mulder followed her as she took his books.
"Do you actually believe in all this?"
"…Let's just say I want to believe. Not everything is explainable."
"The limits of our language are the limits of our world. So nothing is unexplainable, you just don't know the words for it yet."
"Ah you got me Scully." He raised his hands up as to gesture surrender.
"Am I going too fast for you?" She looked at how far behind Mulder was walking from her.
"I just can't move too quickly or my ribs will hurt." His breathing was short.
"Are you okay?"
He smiled, "I'm fine, just need water." Mulder walked to the water fountain and she waited for him.
"How did your mom take it?"
"She wants a divorce… at least that's what I heard from my side of the door." He took his books from Scully and followed her again.
"You are not bothered by it?"
"No…"
Her phone vibrated and she read the text message silently.
"Krycek?"
"Yeah he is going to be late."
"Date?"
"He owes me a Valentine Day's dinner he says."
"When was that?"
"3 days ago."
"Wow…" he watched her as she walked down the steps that led to the back parking lot. "Scully?"
"What is it Mulder?" she turned around. He was still in the top of the stairs.
"Your book." He showed her Moby Dick.
"How?"
"Magic." He smirked.
Scully walked up the stairs again and took the book from him.
"Scully?"
"Mmm?"
"Here." She turned around and saw him take out a box from his jacket's pocket. "I didn't forget. Happy-Watch-Out-for-Cupid's-Arrows Day." Mulder gave her the box.
"Mulder you shouldn't had."
"I'm sorry its late."
"Don't worry you were in the hospital." She smiled as she looked at the small red box. "Can I give you a hug? R will that hurt your ribs?"
"It won't hurt."
She hugged him careful to not hurt him but she felt him wince. "Sorry."
"It's okay." He brushed his lips in hers and she blushed when she realized what had just happened. "This will do."
I do apologize for posting this late but I'm job hunting and school is coming to a finish so I got to straighten some things for next year will be good.
