Rating: G... more or less. =)) Category: MSR, V Spoilers: none Looks like I've started a new series... =) After calls for it, here is the sequel to "Real Love"! The Beatles Files: Do You Want to Know a Secret by Christina Shuy cshuy@netcom.com The phone rang in her hand as she was about to call out. "Scully." "It's me. Can I come over? I have something I need to tell you and I don't want to do it over the phone." "Sure, Mulder." "See you in a few." Mulder said, then the connection was broken. 'Maybe he knows...' she thought, closing the book and setting it aside. 'Or maybe...' Abruptly, she quashed the half-formed thought. 'No use thinking like that. I need to tell him how I feel before I lose him to someone else.' She got up and walked into the kitchen, digging out the instant iced tea mix to make two tall glasses. <"If there's an iced tea in that bag... could be love"> she could hear Mulder's voice during the stakeout on the Tooms case. <"Must be fate... root beer"> she had replied. 'I didn't know any better then.' she thought. The doorbell rang and she turned up the radio again as she walked over to answer the door, looking out the peep hole to see who it was. She smiled and started to unlock the door, pausing to listen to the song playing on the radio. You'll never know how much I really love you. You'll never know how much I really care. Listen, Do you want to know a secret, Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh. "Scully, are you going to let me in or aren't you?" Mulder's voice was muffled on the other side of the door. She opened the door and he walked in, a thoughtful expression on his face. Dana smiled at him. "Make yourself at home. Would you like something to drink?" "Yes, please." Closer, Let me whisper in your ear, Say the words you long to hear, I'm in love with you. Dana went back to the kitchen and retrieved the glasses of iced tea while Mulder sat down and listened to the song. Listen, Do you want to know a secret, Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh. Closer, Let me whisper in your ear, Say the words you long to hear, I'm in love with you. 'How do I tell her?' he thought, waiting for her to return. his conscience piped up. I've known the secret for a week or two, Nobody knows, just we two. "Here... I made iced tea." Dana returned and handed him a glass. She sat down on the sofa next to him. He looked at her, surprised. <"If there's an iced tea in that bag... could be love.""Must be fate. Root beer."> he recalled the Tooms case. Then, the last verse of the song started and Mulder sang along. Listen, Do you want to know a secret, Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh. Closer, Let me whisper in your ear, Say the words you long to hear, I'm in love with you. "Are you? Are you really?" Dana asked as the song finished. "Yes, Scully. I am in love with you. It's taken me several years to realise it, but I love you." Dana's smile, the one which lit up her entire being, was all the answer Mulder needed. He leaned in closer, whispered "I love you" into her ear and then kissed her. -the end... maybe?- -- "The Truth is Out There.
