Although the storm had stopped completely, Dana and Monica would be stuck in Florida until all the roads were cleared, which would take at least forty-eight hours. After last night, Dana knew that Monica and her needed to talk. She decided to bring it up over lunch. Because all the roads were closed, they had to order room service. They ordered Chinese, and played cards while they waited. The food arrived half an hour later.
They ate in silence until they got half way done, and Dana asked Monica a very hard question; "Why did you kiss me last night?" Monica glanced over at Dana and said, "Let's finish eating, and then will talk, ok?" Monica asked. "Ok." Dana told her.
Once they finished eating, Monica led Dana over to the couch in the next room. Monica was very nervous about talking to her about what happened last night. She knew what she wanted to tell her, but was afraid of her reaction. She didn't want to ruin her friendship with Dana, but she loved her so much, she had to tell her how she felt.
"Dana, before I answer your question, you have to promise you'll listen to every thing I have to say before you respond." "I promise Monica." Monica sighed, and then continued to talk. "Ever since we started working together, I knew we'd be good friends, but it wasn't until about a month ago that I realized that I liked you as more than just a friend. One day I looked at you and you seemed ten times prettier than before. Many times I've wanted to reach out and wrap my arms around you, and last night I felt I had that chance. Then when you didn't push me away, I decided to go further by kissing you. I'm not sure how you'll respond to this, but I think I love you."
It seemed like an eternity as Monica sat and waited for Dana's response. Then, as if right on cue, Monica heard Dana, speak the five words she had hoped on hearing; "I love you too Monica."
Just as soon as Monica opened her mouth to speak, she heard Dana continue to talk. "I've loved you for a while now, but I was too afraid of being rejected to say anything." "I would never reject you Monica replied as she embraced Dana in another warm hug. "You don't know how much I've wanted to hear you say that." With that she gave her another kiss on the cheek.
By now Dana was getting tired of kisses on the cheek. Now that she knew how Monica really felt, she realized she wanted more. She wanted to place her lips on what she thought would be the sweetest lips ever, and with that thought, she left Monica's arms and gently placed her lips on Monica's.
The kiss started out as being soft and gentle, and ended up being hot and passionate. Dana placed a hand on the center of Monica's chest and gave her a gentle push so that she was lying on the couch, with Dana on top. The kiss went on for a while, and they would have gone further, but Monica's cell rang, causing them to have to get up. The only reason that Monica answered her cell was because she didn't want to miss a call from work. As luck would have it, it wasn't work; it was Monica's boyfriend and co-worker, John Doggett.
"Monica? Hey, I was just calling to see how you and Scully were holding up, with the storm and all." "We're fine, a little shook up that's all." "Well, I was wondering, would you like to have lunch with me on Saturday, my treat?" Monica thought for a moment, and responded, "Sure, I guess that will be ok." "Great. I'll call you back later, bye." "Bye."
Monica hung up her phone and turned to face Dana. "That was John wasn't?" Dana asked her. "Yes it was." Monica responded. "He asked me to lunch on Saturday. I told him yes." Dana looked a little heart broken, so Monica said, "That won't change what I said five minutes ago. I still love you, and I want to be with you." "What about John?" Dana asked. "I'll go to lunch with him, and then I'll tell him I want to just be friends." "You'd do that for me?" asked Dana. "No, for us."
