Blair looks back at her reflection and pushed back a naughty curl. She looks at her watch and tries not to frown. Nate was almost 45 minutes late were could he be.
"Um miss would you like me to bring you the receipt?" The waitress asks her, her eyes filled with pity. Her eyes full of understanding. Blair flicks her card and looks back at her watch wishing the girl would just take the card and go.
"Um I was..." The girl looks away as Blair glares at her, daring her to say the next words. "You can pick your card upfront."
Blair nods and sadly look down at the dinner for two carefully prepared. The Manhattan steak for Nate with lemon and mint carefully framing it. She had cod marinated in southern Kenya sauce. The table cloth was a deep purple and everything else including the drinking glasses turquoise. The view from the table was amazing you could see the city stretch out for what looked like eternity. Where was Nate?
She picked up her phone and dial Serena's number.
"Hey what's up?"
"Nothing , except for the fact that Nate was a no show." What Blair need right then was a some strong coffee.
"Wait you were meeting up with Nate today?" There is some muffling at the other end of the phone.
"Yeah I was going to tell you but you were busy with that seminar thing."
"Blair I think you should talk to Nate... he's standing right here." Blair almost drops the phone.
"Hey Blair, You don't know how sorry I am." Nate's deep sexy voice says over the phone. Blair shuts her phone with a satisfying click. Nate wasn't sorry, he was with Serena. He choose Serena over her and he was going to pay. No one mess with Blair and just walks away , no there is a high price to pay. And this time the price is Serena. Her phone vibrates and a new text comes in.
sleepover you can bring the movies- serena :)
Hey or should I say Aloha
The perfect weather stretch is sadly coming to an end. B thinks she is invisible but we saw her sitting by herself at a table for two. Was she by any chance waiting for N who was at S seminar. Drama in the city. J in a cab getting farther away from us. C and D are getting close by the second, wonder if thy will be tried from their trip.- xoxoxoxoxo Gossip Girl
"I hope you aren't mad at me, I had no idea." Serena blurts when she opens her door. "Just say the world and I'll stop taking to him."
"Serena calm down. I am not mad at you, just Nate so can we not talk about this."
"Well are you hungry?"
"No I already had some take out. I brought a whole bunch of Johnny Depp movies." Serena pauses at the kitchen to pop in a bag of popcorn and then the girls crash in her room.
"There is nothing better than slightly burned popcorn." Serena says throwing a couple in the air and trying to catch them in her mouth. She misses all of them.
"Hey cut it out, I think will miss Depp's longest line." Blair jokes. Serena chuckles and they quietly return to Pirates of the Caribbeans. Surprisingly at the end of the 3 movies Blair feel better.
"Hey I have to go bond with my mom tomorrow so do you want to crash early? We can still talk in bed."
Blair studies the girl in the pretty pajamas looking back at her from the mirror. The girl's eyes look tired and much too old for her. Blair give the girl a small weary smile. There is silence as they both slip in between the cozy warm sheets.
"Blair I am sorry." Serena whispers before turning over. Blair bites her lower lip. Wondering what the sorry is for. And then she knows what she must do.
"Serena," She whispered her voice low and husky. Serena turns and looks her right in the eyes. Blair slowly leans forward giving Serena the chance to move back if she wanted to but she didn't. Instead she moved forward and met Blair's lips.
