Aaagghh, light hurts. It can't be morning already, can it? ...Obviously it can. Damn - just when I was sleeping so well, I've never slept better. Okay, where am I. This is not my bed ...and they are not my arms around my waist. What?...oh, it's Mulder. MULDER! What the hell am I doing in bed with Mulder? Think Dana Think! ...That's right, he was drunk and I went to pick him up. Then he wouldn't let me go when I got him to lie down. Pheww! I thought for a minute that...but he wouldn't have, no matter how drunk he was. He made that pretty clear with his reaction last night.

Okay, panic over, thank goodness I still have my clothes on...clothes, where the hell are Mulder's clothes? Oh my God, naked chest against my back feels sooo good...stop it! ...Oh, please please please let him still have... oh, thank God for boxers. ..or maybe not. No! Don't think like that. Just get up. ...right, his arm is pinning me in place, maybe I can wriggle down and out of it. ...Okay, this was not a great idea. Now my blouse is riding up...god, his chest is so hot, and those muscles feel...this is definitely not good...his skin against my skin feels absolutely heavenly but NO! This is wrong ...you need to get up.

Hands....hands touching in bad places. This is not good...hands stroking, mmm...hands squeezing, ahhh....NO, NO....get out of the bed Dana...out of the bed! Oh why the hell should I - he won't know I'm awake and I can just say that I stayed because I was tired and didn't realise where his hands were - then it's his fault we're in this position. I guess it is really anyway...he did pull me down here last night, although I suppose I could actually get up if I tried hard enough.

Ring Ring

Damn phone - now I need to get up and get the phone. ...before Mulder wakes up and realises that I'm awake and not doing anything about being in this very compromising position. ...Right, remove Mulder's hands... no, don't move them closer to...NO this is Bad! Mulder let go please - okay, there we are. Get out of the bed NOW! Don't look at his bare chest and his rippling muscles, ahhh... NO! Phone - get out of the room and pick up the phone!

Ring Ring

"Hello?"

"Hello...Agent Scu..lly?"

"A.D Skinner, Hi."

"Hi...um..."

"Are you looking for Mulder sir?"

"Mulder? ...Yes I'm looking for Agent Mulder. Is he there?"

"Ummm...he's still asleep sir. It's a bit early to be calling is it not?"

"Early? Agent Scully, you and he were supposed to be in my office for a meeting ten minutes ago! Not to mention the fact that this is a much more decent hour than the one Agent Mulder called me at last night...or I should say THIS MORNING!!"

"Mulder called you last night?...oh, ummm. Sorry sir...We must have overslept. I had an autopsy to do last night and SAC Currie said that he would talk to you about letting us come in a little late today. Did he not mention it?"

"No he did not mention it. Do you think I would be phoning if I knew you weren't going to be in?"

"No, sir. Sorry. Do you want us to come in now? I can be there in about twenty minutes if you want."

"NO!...I mean, it's okay Agent Scully. Have the day off...it can wait until tomorrow."

"What about Agent Mulder sir? Do you want him to come in?"

"I suppose not. From what I heard on the phone earlier, he's probably in no shape to come in to work today. I would however like to speak to him if that's okay Agent Scully...since this is his phone."

"He's still asleep sir. I stayed over in case he..."

"It's alright Scully, I don't need an explanation. What you do in your own time is your own business and, judging by Mulder's conversation last night, I have nothing to worry about between you two at this moment in time anyway. ...Just wake him up and put him on the phone."

What the hell did Mulder tell Skinner? God, he had better not have told him what I was going to say last night. Oh God, what if he did - what if he told him that he didn't love me and I loved him. That way Skinner would know that there was no chance of us being in a relationship...my God. No!

"Agent Scully? Could you get Mulder please?"

"Could I ask what this is about sir?"

"NO!...Sorry Agent Scully, but this is between me and Agent Mulder thank you. Tell him it's about what he said to me this morning."

Oh God...please don't let him have told him. Please please please.

"Alright sir...I'll go get him."

"Thank you Agent Scully."

okay so Mulder's moved since I got up - maybe this way he won't even know that I was in bed with him. ...There's no room for anyone else in there now that he's sprawled across the whole bed. ...Damn, now I can't get back in and cuddle - not that I was going to anyway...not really...Okay, back to the matter at hand. I need to wake Mulder up.

"Mulder...Mulder..."

"Don't talk so loud Scully, my head hurts. What is it?"

"AD Skinner's on the phone."

"Shit...the meeting. Okay, give it here."

"It's not about the meeting Mulder...he said you phoned him last night when you were drunk. He doesn't sound too pleased about that."
