Scully's mother house. It was a nice weekend and Scully was sitting at her mother's couch. She was thinking about her life and wondering if that was really what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. She was looking at her mother, realizing that she could never have what her mother has: children, a whole family and really good and honest people around her. There is a knock on the door and Scully's mother asks her to answer it. Scully gets up and goes to the door. It's her brother, (the name of her brother), and another person: an old friend from school or should her say, an old boyfriend.... Her brother came in and introduced her to his friend, William Malone. She shaked his hand and she felt he was as nervous as her. They directed themselves to the couch and sat down. Scully was nervous because there were so many years that she hadn't seen that man. She was thinking about that when he spoke: "So, how are you?" "I am fine, thank you. What about you?" "I am also fine. So, are you married?" Scully suddenly felt she was going to be interrogated, but she was okay with it, because it's been so many years that a normal person (Phillip Pagget was not a normal person, she thought) has become attracted to her. "No, I am not married. I don't have the time to get married. My work is my whole life." "I see. I was that way once, but I realized that that is not a life. Human beings were made to be around people who loves them." "I am surrounded by people who loves me." At least she thought she was. Of course, there was no carnal passion in her life, but she had all she wanted. "I didn't say you weren't, I just...." "Never mind. I am sorry if I was rude to you." She gets up and goes to the kitchen to talk to her brother. She felt good to go away from the living room and live that man. She began helping her mother cook, but then she realized that she wasn't able to cook. Actually, she was a disaster in the kitchen. She sat in a bank and started to remember her years in high school. She remembered that she have had a few boyfriends and some great friends. She even remember that her first sex relationship was with William Malone. She only remembered that at this very moment and now she understood why he was interested about her being married. "We have had some great moments together", Scully thought and was a little jealous of the person she was in the past. She had become a lonely person, no matter what she says, she was a lonely person. She had nobody to wait for her at home and that when she came up from work would give her a great kiss. She realized she wanted that and now she was determined to go for it. Scully got back to the living room. "So, William. What do you do?" He felt surprised to see her coming back and answer her calmly. "I am a lawyer." "Good. I work for the FBI." "I know. You work with the an explained cases with another agent, right?" "Yes, his name is Fox Mulder. How did you find out about me?" "Well, I am a government lawyer. So we hear about things that goes on at the FBI, especially because of your partner fame." "He just wants to find the truth. We've been working in that area for 6 years already." "I know the talking is really good, but let's eat. I am hungry. Scully's brother said." The lunch went okay and Scully talked with William about lots of things. Unfortunately he had to leave about one hour after lunch and so would Scully if her mother and brother would have let her. "I see you got along with William pretty well." "Actually, we were like a couple back in high school." "Really? I didn't know that. But I brought him here, because I want you to be with other man besides Mulder." "Here comes the old story again." Her telephone rings. It's Mulder asking her to go right away to his apartment. Mulder's apartment. In the exact minute Scully is entering Mulder's apartment, her cellular phone rings. It's William. "Hello, William." "Yes, I am free for dinner tonight. Ok. You can pick me up at 8 p.m. Is there okay with you?" "Fine. See you then." Mulder was looking at her with a strange look when she asked him: "What?" "Who was on the phone?" "An ex-boyfriend of mine, we are having dinner tonight." "So I heard. What about me?" "What about you? We haven't had set up anything, have we?" Obviously, he didn't have any answer to give her in that moment and then he shut up. Scully didn't know why, but she was happy to tell Mulder that she was actually going to have dinner with another man and she didn't feel like asking him to go with her. She wanted to do this alone, like every other woman on earth. "So, why did you ask me to come here?" "I found out something about that homicide." At this moment, she realized that that was all Mulder could think: deal with those unexplained cases they had at the FBI. He continued with the explanation, but from one second until the end of the conversation, she wasn't paying any attention to what her partner was saying. She was thinking about the dinner. What clothes was she going to wear? What about her hair? What about her talk, what if he didn't like it? What about....? She was actually feeling like a real person again, like a real woman, she was happy about those thoughts. And then she woke up from them when Mulder asked for her opinion. "I agree with you, Mulder. But I don't have the time to stay any longer. I have to fix my hair, take a good shower and pick up a nice outfit for tonight's dinner. Bye." "Wait a minute. What about work?" "I want to live now, not just work." She left, living Mulder with a curious, but deeply jealous look. Scully's apartment. She was in the bath when she heard the door knock. "Who is it? She screamed from the bathroom." "It's Mulder." "Don't you have the keys? Get in!!!" "What are you doing?" "I am taking a shower, can't you see?" "Can I?" "Very funny, Mulder. Wait a minute and then you can help me finding some clothes." He felt weird when he heard that. He was going to help his partner picking up some cloth to go on a date. What about him? Has she forgotten about him? Suddenly, he realized he was jealous of his partner and he could not allow her to go on that date. He opened her closet and started looking for some ugly clothes but unfortunately or fortunately, he didn't know for sure, she didn't have any. And then he started to almost panic. "Have you found anything?" "No. I think you should pick it up. Why are you going meet this guy?" "What?" "Why are you going on this date when we have so much to do at work?" "You have work to do, in the beginning of this case, you didn't want my opinion, remember? Besides, I want to have a life. I want someone who thinks I am sexy and beautiful and smart." She didn't know why she said that to Mulder, but what is said is said. Mulder didn't know how to answer that question and statement. So, he just got up and went home, which made her happy, to see her partner jealousy, but she still didn't know why she felt that way. The date. Scully picked up pants, a nice white shirt and a jacket. That's how she looks like during her normal days and because of that she chose that outfit, so she could be comfortable. William arrived at 8 o'clock precisely. He told her she looked beautiful and she blushed. They got out. William took Scully to a fancy restaurant and she thought she was undressed for a place like that, but he comforted her, telling her that she looked extremely gorgeous. Once sat down, she started to feel comfortable and started talking. "My life's been a mess since I got in the FBI and The X Files. My partner really looks for the truth about the government and he would give his life for it. I also want the truth, mostly because some weird things happened to me a few years ago." "What kind of things?" "Do you mind if I don't tell you? I think that it's something I didn't want to share with someone I am beginning to know." "I am not a new person for you, right? He said that with a dirty look on his face." "You make me feel embarrassed talking like that." "I am sorry, but I remember those days as if they were today." "But it's been so long since then...." "I know, but it mentioned a lot to me...." Suddenly she became too ackward and said: "Let's change the subject... Have you been married?" "As a matter of fact, no. I couldn't find anyone who could love me." "Why is that?" "I am a difficult person to deal with, you know? Besides, I work too much and it's not everyone who understands that." "I know exactly what you mean. My brother doesn't like my job at all. He thinks I am in great danger being around Mulder." "Once again you are talking about your partner. When he said that he seemed a little disappointed." "I am sorry, it's because I spend most of my days with him. I don't have any friends or boyfriend." "Then I think Mulder is holding you back." "What do you mean?" "Well, he is not interested in you and doesn't let anyone be." "I don't know...." They talked for all night, drank wine, danced. Scully couldn't believe she was actually dancing with a man. The only man she's danced for the last 6 years was Mulder and it wasn't a love dance. She felt loved, in a way that she has never felt before. But then she felt like she was betraying someone. As if she was betraying Mulder. "Why the hell am I feeling this way? There's nothing going on between Mulder and I.... And there's never been...." Scully thought. For a moment, she wished that she was dancing with Mulder. She wanted to feel his body, his arm, his breath, his smell, his... "What are you thinking about? William asked." "Nothing. I mean, I was thinking about tonight and how happy I am." She knew she was lying, but she couldn't give up that man and that moment because of something that would lead her to an uncertain future with Mulder. She could not believe that she was actually having those thoughts about Mulder. Of course, she had already thought about Mulder as a *man* and not just as her partner, but at this moment she was really wishing he was the man holding her. They got back to the table and continued the dinner. Scully's building parking lot. "What am I doing here? She doesn't give a damn about me. If she did, she would have said she loved me back when I said the three words to her when I got back from the Bermuda Triangle.... She is probably having dinner in a fancy restaurant and dancing.... Oh, my God, I get to get out of here...." Then he left. A couple of seconds later, Scully's and William's car parked. Scully's asked him to get upstairs to have some coffee. Once in the apartment, Scully went to her bedroom so she could wear something more comfortable. She offered him a Mulder's T-shirt, but he didn't accept. She got back from the bedroom wearing jeans and a white T- shirt, which was really good for her perfect body. She looked at the William and Mulder came into her head, but she forced herself to forget it, there was no chance at all for them to be together. Especially because no one had had the guts to talk about what happened in the hallway of Mulder's building, right before she was stung by the bee. She wanted that kiss to happen, but unfortunately they never wanted to talk about it and now it was too late to say anything. She was with William, a nice and gentle man, who would give her what she wanted, a family, kids, even if they were adopted and most of all, she was going to be loved and were no longer feel lonely as she has felt for the past six years. Scully went to the kitchen and made themselves a nice tea. They sat in the couch and William kissed her. A nice, warm and gentle kiss. Once the kiss was over, Scully felt like she was floating. She was extremely happy and gave him another kiss. This one was gentle at first, but strong at the end. Suddenly she felt herself in the air, she was being carried to the bedroom. She was scared, but really excited about what was going to happen. "I really think I am a virgin again, Will." "This is like riding a bike, we never forget how to do it." They got in the bedroom and she started to unbutton his shirt. In the next minute they were both naked and having a really pleasant evening. An evening Scully was never going to forget. In that moment she felt like she was the most beautiful woman on earth. After the act itself, they fall asleep. Actually, Scully tried to fall asleep, but she couldn't. That was a moment to be awake, to enjoy every single second. But she couldn't handle it anymore and fell asleep. "There is a knock on your door, Dana." "What?" "Someone is at the door." "Oh, would you mind answering it for me?" "Ok." William got up and wore shorts and Mulder's T-shirt. "What the hell?" Mulder asked. "What do you want?" "I just.... I just.... Wanted to talk to Scully, but she's obviously busy." "Yeah, actually she is sleeping right now." Mulder was devastated. William could see the pain in his eyes. He was completely disoriented. He was not feeling the ground. He wanted to kill that man for having slept with Scully. "What have you done to her?" "What? It's not of your business." "What do you mean by that?" "I did nothing she didn't want me to. I gave her what she needed. I like her and I made myself clear about my feelings for her." "Oh, God!!!" Mulder left. He was completely nonsense. He went to a bar and started drinking at 7 a.m. "Who was it?" "Mulder." "What??? She asked that with a pain in her eyes. Like she was caught doing something wrong." "He wanted to talk to you and I said you were sleeping. Why? Did you want to say anything to him?" "No, I just... I don't know.... Never mind.... Come here.... She then kissed him." "I have to go to work." "On a Saturday???" "Of course. Like you have never worked on a Saturday." "That's right. Okay. I'll take a shower and go for a cooper. It's a beautiful morning out there." She got up, put gym clothes and got out. On the streets. Scully was with her walkman, listening to a romantic song and having thoughts about her night with William, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Hi. How was your evening yesterday?" "Mulder!!!" "Surprised???" "No, not at all. What are you doing here??? He got closer to Scully and she felt the smell of drinking. Have you been drinking?" "No, of course not. I only drink when I am really angry at something." He was obviously drank. "I don't want to talk with you this way." "Why? Because you have slept with that ugly guy yesterday?" "You don't have the right to talk to me like that, Mulder. I won't let you speak to me like that." She ran faster, but he pulls her up and put his face really close to hers. She could feel his breath, see his muscle body. Her breath was faster and she could almost see through his eyes that he wanted her, he wanted to have her right there. She could see his jealousy look. She thought he was going to kiss her. That was a kiss she's been waiting for so long and now it was finally going to happen. But then Mulder step away. She didn't know why, but she said: "That's not what I want for me, Mulder. Once again, you disappointed me...." She re-started to run and he stood there, watching her leave. He didn't have the strength to go after her. He didn't know if he could give her what she wanted. FBI "What are you working at, Mulder?" "Good morning, Scully." "Good morning." "I am analyzing some pictures about the homicide I am working on." "Can I see them?" "Why? You are not working in this case with me." "Why are you doing this to me? What have I done to you?" "Nothing, you've done absolutely nothing." "Then, why are you acting like this? Is it just because I am with someone?" When she asked that, she wanted him to say: "Yes, of course. I love you and I can't stand to see you with another man. Please, stay with me. Marry me." She knew that was too much to ask, but who knows. "Yes, it is." "Why? Don't you think William would be a great husband and father?" When she said that, he felt like killing that man who has suddenly appeared in his life to steal Scully from him. "You know what, Scully? Do whatever you want to do. As your new boyfriend said today, I have nothing to do with you, it's not of my business." "You realize that is not true, don't you, Mulder? Of course, I care about your opinion, but I cannot let you decide what is best for my life." Scully started to feel sorry for Mulder. That man, who was standing in front of her, was scared to face the truth, to tell the truth. And the truth was he loved her deeply. At first, she thought about kissing him, but she realized that she had to give him space, so he could think and get the courage to say it himself for her. Evening at Scully's apartment. "Hi!!! Aren't you going to work tonight?" "I don't know. Maybe, I just have to get some clothes. I think I'll have to travel to Chicago." "Really? William sound disappointed as if he had plans for the weekend." "Why? Do you have something on your mind?" "Yes. I thought we were going to be here, watching a movie, doing some things that your father wouldn't approve, etc..." "Hahahaahh!!! Well, I am sorry then. But I'll confirm if I really have to go or if Mulder can do the investigation by himself." She calls Mulder's apartment and a woman answer it. "Hello?" "Hello, who is this?" "A friend." "What's your name, friend?" She was obviously jealous of that mysterious friend. "Marianne. Who are you?" "Tell him it's her *friend* Scully. It's urgent." The woman had a funny voice, like she was from a cartoon or something. "What kind of friends calls the other one by their last names?" "Could you just call him?" "I think he's in the shower. Let me see." Now Scully was mad at that woman and she felt like going there and spanks her. "What kind of woman looks at Mulder while he is taking a shower? I was the one who should be looking at him, who should be taking a shower with him...." "He'll call you when we get out of the bathroom." "What???" The phone was hung up. "Shit!!! What can I do to change this situation? What do I do about William? I like him, but I LOVE Mulder. Should I tell him? I don't know, he's going to be devastated. Oh, my God!!! I have to go to Mulder's apartment." "I have to go now, Will. I'll see you in a few days." She gave him a great kiss. Actually she wasn't thinking about him when she kissed William, she was thinking about Mulder. She wanted to kiss Mulder and to do that she was ready to throw that woman out of Mulder's place. Mulder's place. "Hi, little one!!!" "Little one??? What the hell is little one, Mulder?" "You are. You realize you are not tall at all, don't you?" "What is going on with you?" She was angry, especially because Mulder was playing with her. "Nothing. I just want to have some fun.... Aren't you having fun with Bill???" "His name is William. You know what, I am not going to Chicago with you. I am going home, to stay all the weekend with William." She walked directly to the door. When she was opening it, Mulder closed it with anger. "Why are you going back to that bastard?" "Bastard??? I think you are the bastard here, Mulder. And why is he a bastard?" "Because he is." "What about your friend, who was just here?" "Ah, Marianne...." "Yeah, Marianne." "Why? Are you jealous of me and her being together?" "What???" She wasn't going to say the truth, so she decided to left. "Where are you going?" "Home." While she was waiting for the elevator, Mulder opened his door and came after her. He was once again telling her that she could not run away from that situation, she had to solve that right there. For an instant, she remember the day where they almost kissed and she thought that it would be wonderful if he just got closer to her and kissed her. Mulder was now really close to Scully. She could feel his heart beating and hers itself. It was going to be now. "Kiss me, Mulder." She thought. She could feel his mouth getting closer to hers. His eyes were beautiful, he was so strong that evening. She grabbed his neck and pull him much closer than ever to her face and kiss him. She had to do that. It was now or never. That was the moment. That was a moment that was going to change their whole lives. Once the kiss was over, she wanted him to do something about their relationship. "I have to go now, Mulder." "After this??? You want to leave now???" "Yes, I don't think you want me. I think you are scared of having a serious relationship. You have things to look for, like your sister. I'll continue to look for her with you, but in a professional way." "Of course I want to look for my sister and mostly for the truth. But what I want the most is you. I've wanted you for 6 years. As I said once, you, Scully, made me a whole person. There is no chance I'd survive without you, Scully. You are the one who I want to wake up with for the rest of my life. You..." "It's okay, Mulder. I got your point. But there's another problem. William." "Yes. I have to go home and tell him what?" "That you are with me now.... He put his arms around her, put his hand in her hair, and smelled her." "It's not that simple, Mulder. I'll break his heart." "You broke mine, why can't you broke his?" "When did I broke yours?" "When you told me that you were having a date with an ex- boyfriend. How do you think I felt? I knew you were not going to be only at the restaurant. And then when I saw you two going to your apartment, I almost died, it was like someone was stabbing me. He shouldn't be seeing you naked, I should." "That is not going to happen anymore. I have to go now." "Stay a little bit more. He thinks we are going to Chicago, right?" "Right. But don't we have a case to work on?" "Kind of. I lied. I didn't want you to be around William anymore, so I made up that we had to go to Chicago." "Very funny." He pushed her into his apartment, kissed her and took off her clothes. She did the same with him and they finally were together. They were the closest a couple could ever be. They were loving each other. "I love you, Scully." Scully felt so comfortable, so secure and so happy with Mulder. And now he was saying her that he loved her. It was great to hear those words coming out of his mouth, of his heart and those three words were for her. "I love you too, Mulder." "Let's go for another round?" "Wait a minute... Can you hear?" "What?" "It's like a phone. Yeah, it's my phone ringing. Hello.... Oh, hi, William.... No, we didn't have to, I am at Mulder's place...." "Tell him that we slept together." Mulder said it in her ears.... She made a signal for him to shut up. "We are working on the case from here... No, you don't have to come over. I'll be home in a couple hours.... Okay, bye." "Who said I am going to let you leave in a couple hours?" "Who said you are the boss on me? Shut up. Aren't we going for another round?" Scully's apartment. "Look, William. I don't know how to tell you this, but I...." "You are having an affair with Mulder." "What? No, I mean..." "I know all about it. I mean, I know you two love each other. You can't lie, because it's written in your eyes. Besides, you did something that prove my whole theory." "And your theory is?" "When we were sleeping you kept saying his name over and over again.... And when we were, you know, doing it, you once said his name...." "Oh, my God. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't know anything until yesterday. That was when he said he loved me." "I told you I loved you." "I know, I know. I just..." "I also know that you love him too. As much as he loves you. But you don't have to worry about me, I'll be just fine. I think I am going on a travel or something." "I am so sorry. Is there anything I can do?" "No, unfortunately no. I am a grown man, you can go to your partner now. In a couple months, years or something I'll be completely over you. Bye." "Bye." Scully waited for him to leave and started packing a few things to take to Mulder's apartment. She wasn't really worried about William, all she could think about was Mulder and that the two of them were going to be together. Mulder's apartment. They once again slept together and both of them fall asleep. Her telephone rang. "Scully." "It's Byers." "Byers, what's up?" "The worst is happening... The colonization has started." "What??? Oh, my God!!! Does Mulder know about it?" "No, I can't find him anywhere, but he is not at his apartment. You have to get out of there immediately." "Of course, I will. I have to find him." "No, you cannot risk yourself like this." "No way, I'll leave Mulder here. Are you going to help me or not? Wait a second, there is someone at my door." "Mulder??!! What happened to you?" "I was stung by a bee." "Oh, my God. Where are we going to find a vaccine?" "Scully, it's growing up really fast, I don't think we'll have the time to stop the process." In that second Mulder explode and some alien creature killed Scully. "Scully?! Breakfast." She got up in a sudden, very scared. But happy that what has just happened in her mind was just a dream. Fortunately, she was with the love of her life. She was happy now, she wasn't alone anymore, she had Mulder, her partner for 6 years was now her boyfriend or something like that, she couldn't name it. "What are we now, Mulder?" "What do you mean?" "Are we boyfriend and girlfriend or are we just friends, as always?" "You really don't know what kind of relationship we are?" "No, I really don't." "It's the one where there is a church, a priest, a house, a dog and lots of kids." Scully started to cry and was held by Mulder. "I love you, Mulder. I always have." "I love you too, Scully. What can you say if we go for another round while you are still in love with me?" Mulder said that with a really sexy look in his eyes. "You are never serious, Mulder. But, okay..." --------XXX--------- Well, this is it!!! This was my first story ever and I still had the guts to make it available for everyone… I hope you liked it!!!
