02.23.2018

“You have got to stop staring at me like that!” Dany chides Jon for the third time, she feels unworthy and therefore uncomfortable over the attention. Jon has basically gawked at the beautiful brunette since the moment she walked into The Market coffee shop on Larimer Street. Her cheeks flushing with warmth she smiles thoughtfully her date. As far as she can remember, no man has ever looked at her with such adoration as he is tonight.

“Sorry, I just can’t believe we are finally sitting here – face to face,” Jon admitted, Dany noting that he seems to be nervous. She finds it endearing. “And I also can’t believe how gorgeous you are.”

The moment Dany entered the fun little market/café and her eyes landed on the handsome man sitting in the corner she just knew it was him. His eyes lit up when he saw her, he immediately stood up and walked over to greet her. When she asked him how he knew that it was her, Jon just smiled at her and said he knew that she would be very beautiful on the outside, to match her insides. Dany had blushed and given him a small hug. Jon then blurted out his first name. She smiled at him and told him her name was Dany, but quickly insisting no last names. Jon had agreed to her request.

Jon drinks restlessly from his coffee cup, unable to tear his eyes from the Dany for even a moment. She can see that he is jittery and really into her, the butterflies in her stomach making her smile softly. She also finds him to be very attractive, his dark eyes and hair…she wants nothing more than to run her fingers through his fabulous dark curls.

“I feel a little silly now, I don’t know why I fought this for so long,” she whispered in his ear, the couple sitting side by side at a small square shaped table. They have been talking for an hour straight, laughing and smiling. Not noticing anyone else around them.

“I’m having a really nice time,” Dany adds.

“I am too… I know we agreed to just do a casual coffee date, but I was hoping you would join me for dinner tonight,” he asks shyly. “I know you wanted to take it really slow.”

Thinking it over quickly before answering, Dany knew that she didn’t want their evening to end.

“I’d like that,” Dany says. “A lot.”

“Great!” Jon glances at the time on his cell phone. “I was hopeful, so we need to hurry to Rioja down the block, I made a reservation for 7:30…and that is ten minutes from now.”

Dany’s eyes widen, Rioja is a really nice restaurant and difficult to get a reservation for. She is really flattered that he went through all of this trouble. Dany leans over to kiss Jon on the cheek, thanking him for making her feel so special.

Their eyes lock, this time Jon leans close and kisses her on the cheek with care. Dany’s heart pounds in her chest, she is so enamored with him. The truth is that she has been for a long time.

“My pleasure, you are worth it,” he assures her.

“You are hysterical! I can’t believe you made our reservation under the name Mulder!” Dany giggles while stealing sideway glances at her handsome date. Jon has been holding her hand on top of the table since they arrived. Gently rubbing his thumb up and down the outside of her hand, his caress making her smile.

They talk about their days at work, still careful not to divulge too much information of their personal lives. It was something Dany had asked for when agreeing to meet Jon face to face. Jon pulls out his phone to show her pictures of his and Ghost’s visit to the dog park the day before.

Dany tells him about her roommate, and how she is getting married. Dany has him in stitches over some of the funny Bridezilla stories, even though Missis is really the kindest person she has ever known. Jon asks when the wedding is, then asking if she can bring a date. Dany blushes furiously, she admits that she can…but hadn’t been planning on it. Jon just grins at her before changing the subject.

The subject of X-files comes up. Both have been avid fans of the series for many years.

“So you are twenty-five?” Dany asks as Jon nods his head to confirm. “I am twenty-four. But I was born in 1993, you too?”

“Yes, 1993. I still can’t believe I am half-way to thirty!” Jon growls playfully. “But here is some trivia for you, season one of the X-Files aired in 1993! Which is basically our same age!”

“I started watching the series from start to finish when I was in high school, none of my siblings were into it, and my stepmother thought they were evil or something - - so I used to have to watch in secret!” Jon laughs now, obviously past one bad childhood memory that dealt with his step mother.

They talk and talk about their favorite show, completely geeking out and not noticing all that is happening around them.

Bringing her hand to his lips he kisses her knuckles softly, their eyes locking. Dany look at his lips, she can’t deny how much she cares for him. She really likes him, and now that they are face to face…she feels her heart racing for him. As though Jon can sense what she is thinking he slowly leans his face closer to hers. Dany smiles at him, encouraging the kiss as she leans towards him as well.

“Hello! My name is Scott and I will be one of your waiters this evening. What can I get started for you?” the server asks, ruining their moment.

The couple laugh, realizing they have not even looked at the menu yet. Jon stares at Dany with admiration as her laughter rings out.

The waiter smiles, knowing that these two love birds are going to be sitting here all night making googly eyes at each other. He can recognize those couples from a mile away.

Jon suggests a couple of appetizers off the menu and asks Dany decide what they should share. Choosing what she views as the safest option she goes with the “Rioja Picnic” which is an arrangement of artisan meats, warm pine nut crusted goat cheese, gorgonzola, olives, fennel salad, orange confit, and almonds. Plus she knows it will be a nice plate that they can share.

The waiter hands them a wine menu and tells them to take their time, he will make sure their fresh waters are always filled.

As soon as the waiter leaves Dany and Jon smile shyly at each other.

“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen,” Jon says as Dany averts her eyes and looks embarrassed. “I just can’t stop staring at you…I almost can’t believe you are real. In case it isn’t obvious – I like you, a lot.”

“Jon, I like you lot too,” she whispers as Jon leans down to kiss her softly on the lips. The moment their lips connect it is as though a deep connection is formed. Dany has never felt a kiss like this. Sighing softly against his mouth, it’s all of the encouragement he needs. Jon placing his hand to her cheek in order cup her face as he deepens the kiss. His tongue tracing her bottom lip as Dany turns her head and parts her lips. Jon’s tongue is tentative at first, but as their lips begin moving in sync their kissing becomes more passionate.

Dany can’t believe she is making out at a table in the middle of a fancy restaurant. But then she also realizes that she just doesn’t care about anything else other than this man. They kiss slowly and sweetly, lost in the moment. They are lost in each other.

“Excuse me, sorry again,” the waiter, Scott, interrupts as Jon and Dany immediately break their passionate lip lock. Smiling shyly at each other again.

“Just wanted to let you know that I will be stepping back as I am training a new employee, she will be taking over as I observe,” Scott finishes while motioning with his hand for the thin red headed woman to approach. Dany smiles politely at the new server, then noticing the upset look on her face. For a moment Dany wonders if she is having a hard night at her new job.

“Ygritte?!” Jon gulps, his eyes widening at seeing who the second waiter is.

At the same time, a family of six that is seated a few tables over calls for ‘Scott’ to help them, they seem highly aggravated, having complained that their order was wrong…again. Scott asks Ygritte to get their order while he handles the other angry table.

Dany senses that something is very wrong and shrinks back into her chair. Jon’s wide eyes shifting back and forth between the two women.

The redhead steps closer, an upset scowl on her red face. She is visibly shaking.

“Wow, look at you! Already seriously dating, we were together for over a year, Jon!” Ygritte hisses, turning to look at Dany with disdain.

Dany shifts uncomfortably in her chair. Their table is now getting some glances from the couple seated directly next to them.

“That’s not fair, Ygritte,” Jon says quietly. “We broke up…for good.”

Ygritte gets even more upset, suddenly tears pooling in her eyes. “Wow, Jon! After everything we had…that is all you can say to me!” her voice rising, drawing attention of a few other tables. Dany notices that Scott has already left for the kitchen to salvage the meal for his other table.

Dany lowers her eyes to stare at the menu. She feels as though she is intruding on their private conversation. It is very uncomfortable for her, her mind wondering just how long ago they broke up.

Turning quietly to Dany, Jon speaks lowly while pulling out his wallet. “Dany, may I have just a moment to talk with Ygritte? Honestly, I would rather just pay the bill and take you somewhere else for our date. We haven’t ordered our main dishes, and our appetizer hasn’t arrived. I am leaving my card, in case the check comes while I am gone.”

Dany nods silently as Jon quickly gets up and motions for Ygritte to walk. The redhead doesn’t even give Dany a second glance as she storms off with Jon.

Dany notices that Scott is suddenly back and speaking with the other table about their meals. Dany sits quietly, wringing her hands. The entire situation has made her uncomfortable and now she is sitting alone at a table, worried about what this all means. Then the appetizer they ordered is brought to the table by another member of the wait staff, Dany asks if they could please talk to Scott and get them their bill.

Having lost her appetite Dany just sips at her water and tries to relax. It is when Scott brings the bill that he apologizes for the way the evening turned out. Dany realizes that it has been more than five minutes that Jon was gone and that he must still be with Ygritte.

Calm down. Calm down. This doesn’t mean anything. Just relax. Jon will be back soon and then we can get out of here.

Sitting quietly a few more moments while wringing her hands, she decides that she’s getting too worked up just sitting at the table doing nothing. Getting up to find the restroom Dany is hopeful that washing her face will help relax her. She spots Scott carrying out a tray of drinks towards the dining area.

“Could you tell me where the restroom is?”

“Sure thing, down this hall towards the kitchen, past that door and then down the left hallway. It will be labeled,” Scott answers as he rushes by.

Dany goes down the hallway, walking past the first door and then hanging quick left. She then almost runs directly into Jon and Ygritte who are kissing in the middle of the hallway.

It takes her a moment to process what she is seeing, her mouth falling open in disgust.

Jon pushes Ygritte away, his face is bright red, his eyes wide. Ygritte turns to face Dany, a satisfied grin on her face. She looks so smug.

“Wow,” Dany mumbles while looking at Jon with disdain. Locking eyes for a moment Dany feels a horrible pang in her heart, in that moment realizing just how deeply she cared for him. Also learning how gravely he has hurt her.

Jon pushes past Ygritte while trying to reach for her. “Dany! Please wait…please!”

Dany spins on her heels to return to the direction she came from.

Grabbing her coat from her chair and opening her purse at the table, Dany pulls out her cell phone to pull up her Uber App to make the request for an immediate pick up. Relieved to be downtown, she knows it usually just takes minutes for a driver to arrive. Dany is desperate to get the hell out of there. Within seconds Jon arrives to the table and tries to talk to her.

“Please, I know that--” Jon starts to say and Dany completely ignores him. Not even looking in his direction she picks up the bill to calculate her half of the meal and then tip. Quickly dropping cash on the table she takes her purse and quietly walks out of the restaurant with her head down.

Jon follows her out, the desperation clear on his face. Dany pulls her coat closed as she checks her phone for the details about the Uber car. She is relived that it should be there any moment.

“Dany, I really really like you. Please, just let me explain--” Jon begins before Dany cuts him off.

“This was obviously a huge mistake! There is nothing that you can say to me that would explain my date leaving me at our table while he is in the back making out with his ex-girlfriend,” Dany says coldly, her eyes filling with tears. She is hurt and humiliated.

“So just save it. I’m sorry I ever met you,” Dany cries before angrily wiping tears off her cheek and turning her back to Jon. “Thank God, my ride is here,” Dany mumbles as she begins walking towards the curb.

Jon chokes up while gazing at her tears. His voice thick with emotion, as he grabs her arm gently while speaking. “Dany, please! Just wait, I have to explain…”

Snatching her arm free and recoiling at his touch Dany is furious at him. “Don’t touch me! I don’t know how else to get my point across...so let’s try this…because these are the last words I will ever say to you - Fuck off, Jon!”

Ignoring the tears that fill Jon’s eyes she turns away from him and gets in the back of her Uber ride and asks them to please drive away. She doesn’t look out the window, she never wants to see him again.

Before even pulling on her seat-belt she is pulling up the app for the X-Files Chat Room on her phone – she first blocks user FoxyMulder, and then she completely deactivates her ScientistScully login as angry tears stream down her face.

There, all done. Lesson learned. What a damned fool I was to think that he… Stop. Just stop. She thinks while fastening her seat-belt and resting her head back on the seat.

Meanwhile, Jon sadly watches the car pull way, feeling sick to his stomach. He fears he just made the worst mistake of his life.
