Chapter Text
Tuesday, 7:30pm
Georgetown,
Scully’s apartment
Dana Scully finished putting on her red lipstick and checked her reflection in the mirror. She fixed her red hair into a bun and tidied her little black dress and smiled at herself.
Skinner had called her earlier that day and said he wanted to take her out for dinner. So they decided to go to a restaurant called Pizza House, as Skinner liked pizza and Scully didn’t mind Italian food, so they decided to go and spend the evening there.
Scully felt satisfied with her outfit and got her clutch bag ready before sitting down on her couch and watched the news as she waited for Skinner to come and pick her up at their agreed time of 8pm.
Scully didn’t have to wait long before there was a knock on the door. With a smile, she took a deep breath and went to open the door. “Hey Walter,” she said in a soft voice. Skinner smiled at her. She thought he looked smart in his dark brown suit and white shirt for the evening.
“Hey Dana,” he greeted her, and the two leaned in for a quick kiss. “Hungry?” Scully asked as she made sure she was ready. “Sure. You?” Skinner asked, and Scully nodded with a smile. “You look beautiful tonight Dana,” Skinner told her seriously. Scully couldn’t help but blush as they shared another deep kiss.
“You don’t look too bad yourself, Walter,” she replied after the kiss which made him blush for the first time. Scully was seeing a new side to him rather than the man that sat at his desk all day and she found herself liking it.
Was she falling for him? She thought to herself. Then Skinner bought them back to the present and held his arm out for Scully to take. “Shall we?” He asked her.
Scully smiled and took his arm before they made their way down the hallway and put to Skinner’s car together.
“Yes, let’s,” Scully replied and they shared a happy journey to the restaurant.
