Chapter 3
„How long...how much-" I try to construct a sentence but it doesn't really work. Oh no, please. This can't be happening...I'm making a fool of myself right in front of him. Okay Dana, you can deal with it. You can deal with it...
„I heard everything." He just says. He knows. Mulder knows my deepest secret. What am I to do? Deny it? I think I can't deny it anymore, it's too late now.
„I...umm..."
„Shh, it's okay, Scully. You don't need to say anything." He tells me and the only thing I can do is to nod. A while later I stand up and walk slowly towards the door.
„Where are you going?" Mulder asks me.
„Home." I answer reluctantly.
„Scully, please stay. You left me yesterday...I didn't want you to leave, Scully." He speaks softly. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do.
„Stay." He whispers again. After a short time of thinking I finally nod.
„Okay." I just say as I sit back down on the chair beside the bed. Mulder is looking at me, smiling slightly.
„Why aren't you at work?" He asks after a little while.
„Skinner called me. He said I can take the day off. There is no case and the paperwork can wait until monday."
„Monday? Oh, that sounds like fun." He says sarcastically. It makes me smile a little.
„Did you talk to the doctor?"
„Yes. He said you are doing pretty well...he wanted to check on you earlier but you were sleeping." I tell him.
„Well...I wasn't." He says softly.
„Yeah...I know that." I start to blush, I can tell.
„You look tired."
„I am. Thanks to Skinner...."
„What? Did he wake you?" Mulder asks, laughing slightly.
„Yeah, he called a little to early for my liking. I laid back down and I fell asleep but then I had that dream...about you."
„Do you want to tell me about it?"
„No." I simply say and shake my head.
„Okay. I understand." Mulder tells me, looking straight into my eyes.
„Umm...do you want to lay down?" He asks a little later.
„What?"
„Do you want to lay down?"
„Where?"
„Right here..." He points on the spot right beside him.
„I-I don't think so..."
„Come on. You are tired and don't worry, I don't bite." He says smiling. I climb into bed beside him.
„I can't promise anything." I say teasingly.
„Oh Scully, naughty girl."
„I'm just kidding..." I say and hit him playfully on the shoulder.
„Yup...of course." He says sarcastically.
„Mulder, stop!"
„All right. Scully?"
„Yeah..."
„Could you sing something?"
„What? No, Mulder!"
„Oh come on, Scully. Jeremiah was a bullfrog, he was good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said-"
„Mulder, could you just shut up and...and hold me close" Did I really just say that? I don't know what came over me. Without a word he pulls me close to him. He is facing my back, so I can't look at him. He wraps his arm around my middle and suddenly I feel his hot breath against my neck. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. My right hand rests on my stomach and I am just about to pull it away, when Mulders hand toches mine and begin to caress it. Eventually I turn around to face him. He pulls the covers up around both of us. We are looking directly into each others eyes. He softly strokes my cheek and his thumb finds my lips. I smile a little, so does he. He slowly bends forward and let his lips brush mine. Without hesitation I deepen the kiss and run my fingers through his soft dark brown hair. I break the kiss and cuddle up against him. I lay my head on his shoulder and my left hand rests on his chest.
„Mulder...?" I say quietly.
„Mmhh..."
„What if somebody comes? What would he think...I mean-"
„Who cares?" He just says as he kisses me lightly on the forehead.
„I'm serious, Mulder."
„Nobody is coming...maybe Skinner" I hear him laughing slightly. I turn to look at him wide-eyed.
„Oh god...that would be-" I begin.
„Embarrassing?"
„Yeah..." I say just as somebody knocks on the door. „Oh god..." I whisper. I'm just about to climb out of bed when Skinner appears on the doorstep.
„Oh, I'm really sorry. Am I interrupting?" Skinner says smirking.
„No! No....no, sir." I stutter sitting on the bed, blushing deeply.
„Hmm...Mulder how are you doing?" Skinner asks, still smirking.
„I'm doing well, thanks." Mulder answers.
„I better get going...I'll leave you two alone. See you on monday." He walks out and closes the door behind him. I turn to Mulder, not saying anything just looking at him.
„You okay, Scully?" I don't give him an answer.
„Scully..."
„Did you see how he smirked?" I say.
„Yes I did. Now come on, lay back down." He responds. I climb back under the covers and stares at the ceiling. I can't believe that I'm right here...this close to Mulder. I can smell him and feel him. And it feels so...so right.
„Hey Scully..did you hear what I just said?"
„Umm...what?"
„Scully, you don't pay attention to me."
„I do but I was just...never mind. So, what did you say?"
„I love you"
„I love you too, Mulder." I pull him in for a long passionate kiss. He breaks the kiss and a huge smile flits across his face. Our foreheads touch like they did so many times before but now it's different. There is no need for comfort...it's just love.
