Delivery Boy

Rated: T

Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl.

Pairing: Jenny/Nate

The dress sat on her like a well designed glove, made especially for her. Smiling at her handiwork, she twirled in front of her long length mirror, thrilled and excited at the prospect of having completed her first line of projects. Eleanor had asked to see them by the end of the month. She would be presenting them tomorrow with a weight of success on her shoulders.

"Wow," She heard someone take in a deep of air behind her, "you look great."

Nate stood at her door, his eyes big with wonder where all those had been hidden before and why only know he was just seeing them.

Jenny spun on her heels and opened her mouth to ask what he was doing there. But he beat her to it by answering the unspoken question by lifting his hands up to show a box of material she'd ordered.

Eyebrow raised, she bit her bottom lip in confusion. "What are you doing with that?"

Nate laughed, scratching his head. "Funny you should ask. Your brother asked me to deliver it to you."

"Dan escapes favors once again." She sighed and retrieved it from him. "Thanks, I appreciate it."

Nate shrugged nonchalantly. "Not a problem. Did you make this?" He pointed to her dress and she gave an enthusiastic smile and nodded. "It's beautiful on you."

Cheeks reddening, Jenny bowed her head in an effort to hide it. "Thanks."

He leaned down slightly, "Are you blushing?"

Jenny's eyes snapped up as her temper flared at the accuracy of his remark. "No! I'm wondering why you're still here."

He shook his head and started to leave but Jenny stopped him by grabbing his arm. "Wait! Alright I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. I've just been under so much pressure and your compliment-" she paused looking to the floor when he locked eyes with her "surprised me. I wasn't expecting it."

There she said it.

He acknowledged her apology by turning back into the room. "So, Eleanor is the one looking at your clothes?"

She blinked.

Nate gave a smile. "Dan mentioned it."

Sucking in her teeth, Jenny waved her finger. "I have to remember to buy him a muzzle."

They laughed together as she started to show him different designs for a bit then shared lunch for Nate's trouble of bringing her material.
