They played baseball until their arms hurt from exertion. Mulder paid Poor boy and he left them on the baseball field. Scully sat on the bleachers and watched the star filled sky. He took place next to her and watched the constellations with her.  

“I had a wonderful evening, thank you Mulder”  

“You told me to try to discover life on this planet so…”  

“You decided to teach me how to play baseball. It felt good to have a bat in my hand again. I haven’t played since childhood, since Bill has decided that girls didn’t play ball!”  

“You can have my bat in your hands whenever you want, Scully” He said seductively.  

She smiled at his trademark innuendo.  She could have seen it coming with the king of sexual banter.  

They stayed silent for a moment, not knowing how to make light conversation. They knew each other since six years and then, they were still shy when it came to talk about anything but their work. She decided to cut their uneasiness. After all, he had taken the first step by inviting her to play with him. She had to take the second.  

“Did you have dinner, yet?”

 “No. You?”

 “No. We can order pizza from my apartment. What do you think?”  

“Mine is nearer. Come on. We can eat on the floor next to my couch, I have vacuumed last week”

 “I’m impressed”

They stood and walked toward the parking lot. He took her hand in his and they smiled tenderly at each other.

They were in no hurry, walking at a leisury pace. They got to Scully’s car and their hands stayed entwined.

They faced each other and his eyes searched her blue depth. He lowered his mouth until he was mere inch from hers and gave her a sweet lingering kiss. Then, he leaned his forehead on hers.  

“See you in a few”. He said softly.

 "Yes. Don’t be late. I have plans for you”.

“Yes Madam”.

 He bowed his head and ran to his car. It would be an interesting evening after all.

 The end
