Already In Love

A date?

"So, Mulder, you owe me a story." she said, taking a sip of her milkshake.

"Yeah, I know. Umm, does your mom know you are here?" he said, trying to change the subject.

"Uh huh.. I know what you're trying to do, nice try, Mulder. But I won't forget, you know?" she said with a smile and then said. "And yes, she knows. I called her when you went to the bathroom."

"I know you think that I don't want to tell you, but.. it's just.. I haven't talked to anyone about this. I don't even talk with people because they know who I am.. 'Spooky'" he said, looking at his feet.

"Don't tell me if you don't want to. It's okay. You're not "Spooky", and those people don't know what they're missing... A wonderful friendship with you." she said, taking his hand and squeezing it.

"You really think think that?" he said, looking at her eyes and squeezing back.

"Yeah. If they don't see that they are blind. I just met you today and I already knew that." she said sincerely.

"Thank you. That- That's the most beautiful thing someone has told me in my life." he said blushing.

He's so cute when he blushes. She thought.

Say something nice to her! Come on, Mulder. You've got a million of compliments for her and you can't say any?! He thought.

"I- You- Umm.. I think we gotta go, you know, you have homework and your mom is probably worried about you." he said.

Really? That's what I say?! Say something! He thought.

"Yeah, you are right. So, I will see you tomorrow?" she said, taking her backpack from the floor.

"Yeah. Tomorrow." he said, trying to not sound nervous.

"Sure. Bye." she said awkwardly and walking to the exit of the mall.

"Bye." he said, taking his backpack and taking his milkshake from the table. But then he just stared at her as she was walking to the exit and he couldn't resist anymore and ran to her.

"Dana, wait!" he yelled and she turned her head to him.

"Yeah?" she asked.

Come on. Tell her! He thought.

"I was wondering if you had plans tonight." he said nervous.

"No, I don't. Why?" she said.

"Do you want to go somewhere? I've decided to tell you about.. you know.. And everything about me if you want." he said, smiling.

"Yeah. That sounds good." she said as she opened her backpack and teared a page of a notebook and took a pencil and wrote her address and phone number. "Here. It's my phone number and address" she said, extending her hand with the paper and he took it.

"Yeah. Thanks." he said smiling and then said. "Pick you at seven-ish?" he asked.

"Sure. See ya at seven" she said smiling and waved by to him and then walked to the exit to take the bus. He just stared at her as she was walking to the exit again.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Hi, everyone!" Scully yelled and closed the door.

"Hi, sweetheart. How was your first day?" her mom said, walking to her and hugging her.

"It was good. Better than I thought." Scully said, hugging her mom back and walking to the kitchen to get water from the fridge.

"I'm glad. So, how was the mall, did you enjoy your time with- What's the name?" Maggie said, starting to cut the vegetables with a knife.
