Tuesday
Scully just got back from a case and she was tired, fed up and sore. There was a black and white film playing on the TV, and a bottle of red wine sitting on the table. She was on her third glass, trying to unwind after a week from hell when the phone rang.
"Hello"
"Hi, Dana,"
"Hi, Mom,"
"How are you darling"
"I am fine mom, it's just been one of those cases that's all" Scully didn't like it to go to detail with her mom because it would either scare her or make her worry too much about her and the cases she was on.
"Dana you need a break,"
"M..." but before Scully could reply Maggie carried on with what she was saying.
"So there is a guy from church who has a handsome son and he invited you out on a date. I took the liberty of saying yes for you. The time is 7.30pm on Friday at Filomena Ristorante. Which is a lovely Italian place, or so I have heard"
"But Mom, I don't need to go on a date"
"No buts Dana, you diverse to let your hair down and go have some fun. I have to go, sweetie, I will catch up with you soon,"
"Ok bye, mom,"
"Bye, Dana,"
When the dial tone clicked Scully put the phone back down on the table and slouched in her seat. If she was being honest with herself she hated blind dates. Because you never knew who would be waiting at the table when you got there. Besides, she had no time to date anyone, or have any kind of relationship at the moment. Especially with Mulder running her around on cases all of the time. The one time she did try to go on a date she ended up thinking of Mulder the whole time anyway. She was watching a romance film and saw the couple kissing on screen and it made her long for Mulder.
