When Dan walked into the loft, he saw Vanessa sitting on the couch reading. "You're home early." Vanessa was currently living with Dan because she hadn't renewed her payment to live in a dorm. "Yeah. It's been a long night. Can you get out the beer so we can have our honesty night." "It's been a while since we had one of those." Vanessa went to grab a two beers from the fridge. "What's on your mind?" She could tell something was wrong with Dan. "I'm not sure what I want. One day I want Serena then the next I want this other girl. I can't decide who I want. They are complete opposites, but I love them both." This was the first time Dan had been able to say that out loud. "I feel the same way. One day I love Nate the next I love this other guy." Dan was surprised that she had the same problem. "Who is the other guy?" "You don't know him." Dan didn't want to hear that because the other girl he loved was Vanessa. "What about your other girl?" Dan didn't know how to answer. He just said, "I can't." Dan got up and went to his room. Vanessa had lied to him. The other guy was him. She didn't want to admit it because she couldn't ruin their friendship. She fell asleep on the floor thinking about Dan.

When Dan woke up in the middle of the night and noticed Vanessa wasn't in her room. He walked towards the kitchen and saw her sleeping on the floor. He picked Vanessa up and carried her to the bed. He put the covers over her than kissed her. This made Vanessa wake up. "Dan?" "Hey. I just carried you from the floor to over here so you wouldn't wake up sore." Dan began to walk away when Vanessa asked him to come back. "I have a confession to make. You are the other boy." This made Dan really happy. "You're the other girl." Dan sat next to Vanessa on her bed. "I'm scared." Vanessa admitted. "I think we should try this." "I'm still dating Nate. Let's try this tonight and if I really believe it's the right choice I will be with you." With that Dan kissed her. Over and over. Vanessa lifted up Dan's shirt while Dan lifted up hers. "I love you." "I love you too." Vanessa put her hands on his shoulders while Dan began to unhook her bra. "You don't know how badly I have wanted to do this." Dan told her. Vanessa took off his underwear. "You don't know how badly I have wanted to do this either." Dan kissed her breasts while he pulled down her underwear. Vanessa rolled on top of him, her breasts rubbing on to him. They weren't ready to have sex so they fell asleep completely naked snuggling.

That morning Dan woke up to see Vanessa gone. He went to go put some clothes on when he saw a note on his bed. It said, "I choose you. Love, V." This was the best news Dan had gotten in a while. He got dressed and went to the kitchen to cook some waffles. He got all the ingredients out and began to cook when Vanessa walked in her hand being held by none other than Nate Archibald.
