I used a song in here called Caramel by Suzanne Vega, I don't own it, I just love it. I saw it on you tube, a cute little video about Mulder and Scully called 'A Seduction Story' and I fell in love with the song, so I thought I'd use just a few lines, the whole song is wonderful. Again I don't own it, just using it in a story. I think it fits.
The restaurant was a nice quiet area, known for the good music and great food. It wasn't long after Scully entered the restaurant that Mulder was at her side leading her to a small table that he had reserved for them. As she looked him over she had noticed he was dressed rather nicely, a black pair of his good pants and a nice white dress shirt under a matching black jacket. Looking down at herself she felt rather underdressed in her black dress, one she had only put on for special occasions.
"so after you got home, how did it go?" he asked pouring her a glass of the wine that was on the side of the table.
"Horrible, can we not talk about it?" she asked taking a sip of her wine.
"sure, not a problem." he answered taking a drink himself. After they had ordered they sat and talked about anything that could come to mind, it was almost as if nothing was out of the ordinary, it was as if they were at work or on a case, just taking and eating dinner as always. When the song 'Caramel' by Suzanne Vega came on Mulder had asked Scully to dance and lead her to the floor where other couples danced slowly.
It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long for you.
It won't do
to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true
They swayed softly to the music
In the corner of the restaurant sat a bar and at this bar a woman sat alone nursing a grey goose martini watching the couple silently. She had underdressed in order to avoid the risk of getting caught. Sitting there in an old pair of jeans and her boyfriends oversized Lakers shirt she watched the couple carefully. From her side a man approached her and offered to buy her a drink.
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure if my husband would like that." she muttered and watched him leave. Quickly going back to her task at hand. She watched as they danced, slowly to the music, she knew deep down he would be hers. Taking a man away from Dana Katherine Scully was an easy task, she had proven that back in college with Christopher Wilkes and Fox Mulder wouldn't be any different.
There was something different about this man, he was unique, gifted, and extremely good looking, she would have to break out all of the big guns she had and fire first, asking questions when she felt the time was right. She watched as the couple made their way back to the table smiling happily then sat down to eat the meal they had ordered. Suddenly it hit her, the best thing of all.
"well now I say we enjoy this nice meal." Mulder said getting a smile from Scully. "you dance wonderfully."
"You are a wonderful teacher at that." she said taking a bit from her Alfredo.
"what do you say to us heading out to the park after this for a walk?" he asked smiling up at her.
"sounds wonderful." she said finding it hard to stop the growing smile on her face.
In the corner Danni pulled out her phone and started dialing the number. This was going to be great, though her aunt had warned her about telling him anything she knew this was the best way to start moving the cards in her place. The ringer went off five times before somebody finally answered the phone.
"Scully residence, Bill Scully speaking." the man on the other end spoke.
After the meal was finished Mulder and Scully exited the restaurant and got into her car. Mulder had walked the small distance to the restaurant and hadn't expected to leave far, the park had been a last minute idea. As she drove they sat talking and joking around, to them nothing was different, nothing was out of the ordinary. Once they arrived at the park they walked around before laying in the field of grass to look up at the stars.
In the shadows Danni watched as they lay there talking and joking around. When her watch told her it was midnight, she got into her car and headed home. Knowing it wouldn't be long before Scully would come home. Once arriving in the apartment she rushed over to the couch turned the TV on to the news and pretended to be asleep. At a quarter to one, the front door opened and Scully entered quietly thinking her cousin was asleep in her room.
"so did you have a nice time?" Danni questioned acting as if she had just woken up.
"A very nice time." she said heading towards her bedroom.
"Oh, before I forget, Bill called." she lied, trying to hide her smile. "he was looking or you, but don't worry I told him you were out on a date. I take it he doesn't like Mulder."
"what makes you say that?" Scully asked trying to hide her fear.
"I don't know, but when I told him you two were out on a date he flipped. Tara called saying he had flipped about how crazy you were."
"Danni, next time Bill calls, tell him I'm at work." Scully said making her way into her room and closed the door. Her brother knew half of what was going on, he believed the same lie as Danni, and she would never have the chance to explain what had happened. She could only hope that Danni would leave soon and that it would just all be over.
Quietly changing, Scully made her way into her bed and thought over the previous hours, she had never had more fun in her life. Yet something about how the night ended unsettled her, and it wasn't the fact about her brother knowing. It was how they had left, she had dropped him off at his apartment, he had given her a small kiss on the forehead, something he often did, but something in her didn't want the kiss, at least not there. Deep down she wanted him to kiss her on the lips. She wanted to be able to have the opportunity to invite him over for the night, but now that was not an option one wrong move and Bill would know everything, one small slip up and her friendship could be ruined forever. However the night had ended and however confused she felt, Scully fell asleep to the song she and Mulder had danced to.
So goodbye,
sweet appetite,
no single bite
could satisfy...
I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin.
Danni made her way into her room and began to think of ways to get Mulder to get off the fact of Scully and get his mind on her. That night Danni started one of the most criminal projects she could ever know. While her cousin slept soundly in the next room dreaming away.
It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long
for you.
