This is a submission, and #4 in my Selena series. You don't have to read any of the others in the series to understand this one. Enjoy and tell me what you think, K@tie From: Katie at DKScully@juno.com Category: MSR Date:April1 1997 Summary: This is another Never Again spin off. There are just so many things that could have happened, I couldn't help myself :*) Hope y'all enjoy it. Disclaimer: Mulder and Scully do NOT belong to me, they belong to CC, 1013, and FOX. Author's Note: This is the fourth and last story in my Selena series. The first was Dreaming Of You. The second was I Could Fall In Love. And the third was Captive Heart. This four story long series is my tirbute to Selena, whom I will always remember as a hopeful, kind, and caring, young star. Oh alright, you dragged it out of me. I used the dancing thing in the first story, but when you're working with music, there just aren't that many options! You don't have to read any of these stories to understand the others, because none are continuations of the others. They stand alone, and are only related because they all have Selena songs in them. I'm Getting Used To You After the awkward pause, Dana stood to leave. He couldn't let her go. "Dana, wait." After this whole ordeal, using her first name caught her off guard. She looked him straight in the eyes, daring him to proceed. Now, Fox Mulder was always up for a dare, so he accepted. "I didn't mean it like that. You're my best friend, and If you'd let me, I'd like to be something more." Normally, she would have laughed, because that sounded like a Mulder joke to her, but the sincerity she saw in his eyes told her he meant it from the bottom of his heart. "Fox, why are you saying this now?" She asked with a turmoil of emotion. "Because before, I didn't have to share you with anyone. When you told me you had a date, it totally took me by surprise, and I had an epiphany if you will, of you with someone else. I've always been afraid to tell you, Dana, but I've fallen in love with you. And I know you've felt it too." He managed just above a whisper. She sat back down, and just stared at him for a while in shock. She couldn't believe that after all they had been through, a little jealousy was all it took for the only man she ever loved to admit that he loved her too. She finally nodded. "I love you too. I don't know how to explain this to you, but Ed was just a release for me. You went off and left me to do work, just confident that I'd do whatever you asked. I thought that we had a partnership, not a dictatorship. Ed just let me prove to you that you don't run my life. You don't have to run my life, because you are my life. I just had to let you see that." "I'm sorry that I tried to control you. I never meant to hurt you." "I know." She looked around the room for something to take all the tension out of their conversation. Bingo. "So you can't get the woman you love a desk, but you can get a CD player?" He smiled chagrinned. "Well..... But I did have a good reason." "And what would that be?" She asked, her interest captured. "Why, to seduce you, Dr. Scully." He said in the same voice he used when taunting her in the side-case where they first met Max Fenig. She smiled at him, and he stood to put in a Selena CD. "May I have this dance?" He asked with a bow. "Yes you may." She said with a half grin. Dana clasped her hands around the back of his neck, and he clasped his on the small of her back. As the music started, they began to sway to the beat. Dana listened carefully to the song for what he was trying to tell her. Wasn't like me to fall in love. That's just the way that I was. But now when I feel you holding me, Something inside just tells me, You've gotten into this heart of mine. And now I know it's true, cause darlin, Darlin I'm starting to find..... I'm getting used to you. Ooh, and I'm loving every single thing about you. I'm getting used to you. And I could never get used to living without you. Didn't think that a love could mean that much. But you sure changed my mind with your touch. Never knew that my heart could need you so. Now I know that these arms can't let you go. No, they wouldn't even try, Cause I'm sure you're the one that I Oh one that I need in my life. She pulled her face out of the hollow of his neck to look him in the eyes. Her own questioned if he really meant this. He smiled at her, and nodded. She returned the smile, and then returned her head to that spot on his neck, as they continued to sway. I'm getting used to you, And I'm loving every single thing about you. I'm getting used to you, And I could never get used to living without you. Oh... You've gotten into this heart of mine And I know it's true cause darlin, Oh darlin, I'm starting to find, That you're the one I need in my life. I'm getting used to you. Ooh, and I'm loving every single thing about you. I'm getting used to you, And I could never get used to living without you. Aint no living without loving you. As it ended, they stopped, but squeezed each other tight in an embrace that made up for all the moments they could have spent in each others arms. When they broke apart, He moved in to kiss her deeply, one hand supporting her head, and the other still on the small of her back. Her own hands were entangled in his soft hair, keeping him to her. This time when they broke apart, he smiled wildly at her. "You know, Dana. I could get used to this." The End! Hope everyone enjoyed the last story in my Selena series!
