I finished watching gossip girl like a year ago, and I shipped Derena from the start of the show. I know that there are hardly anyone who ships them but I do. So I read every Derena fanfic out there and then suddenly there was none left so I decided I should start writing them. I know that I'm not good at it, and that my writing is really bad and full with mistakes, but English is not my first language. It sucks writing without getting enough reviews but I dont blame you. I mean I read some pretty awesome fics and mine are nothing compared to them and that's why the lack of reviews didn't stop me from writing, because it's enough if there's a couple of people enjoying reading them.
"Seriously man aren't you too old for this? You know I hate doing it" said Dan while fixing his hair.
"Dan, Dan, Dan I will never be too old to have fun. And besides, I never ask you to do anything"
"Well yeah except for that, every couple days might I add."
"You have the looks and the money, and I have the charm with talking the girls into doing anything. It works that way. Come on that girl's a bomb I've been observing her for weeks now" said Josh begging his friend to do it.
Dan Humphrey and Josh James have been friends since forever. Josh is the best friend anyone could ever wish for, he was always there for Dan, helping him when both of his parents died in a car accident, encouraging him on sending his book to millions of editors until one finally accepted it and publish it which helped Dan make real money and he was able to send his sister Jenny to college. Dan admitted that without having Josh in his life, he would still be living in dark room, drinking away his problems. Josh had one problem though, he was a womanizer. It was a ritual for them, Josh would name a girl and Dan would go and "accidently" bumping into her, he would then invite her over for dinner with his friends. Of course, Josh would be there and Dan would suddenly start acting like an ass, leaving the girls devastated. That where Josh's work start, with him being a shoulder to cry on, and a little more than that later. Dan really hated playing with the girl's heart and feelings but he couldn't say no to his friend. He was in the end his life saver, and if it took that for repaying him, he thought that he had to do it. They've been doing this for so long now, Dan wasn't sure if there was any more girls left in New York, but Josh always seem to find someone new. Of course, Dan was now hated by practically every girl, but he didn't care. He had no intention to date whatsoever; his only interests were his sister and his writing. He was already 25 years old and he hadn't had any girlfriend at all. The death of his parents 7 years ago left him really devastated afraid of starting a family and he wouldn't go out with a girl if he didn't want something to come from it, well of course except for the game he would play with Josh.
"Fine when do you want me to do it?" asked Dan knowing that he didn't have any other choice.
"Tonight, I'm going to show you her picture, her name is Serena Van Der Woodsen, she's a lawyer and the hottest girl out there, I'm telling you she's a goddess." Josh starting talking on and on about this girl, not forgetting a single detail, but Dan wasn't listening to any of the words he was saying. He was lost in his thoughts the minute Josh mentioned her name. He knew who she was, they used to go to school together, she was the reason he started writing. Serena had been Dan's affection since he was 14 years old, he had the biggest crush on her for 4 whole years until his parents passed away and he didn't care about anything anymore, let alone an affection for someone who doesn't even know him. Dan didn't know what took over him the minute he looked into that picture, she was still the same, only taller and more beautiful. She was wearing a dress that was hugging her body in all the right places, and a pair of big sunglasses that covered her face. He wondered if she was still as popular as she was back in high school. Of course she is he thought to himself. Back in high school, there wasn't a single girl who didn't want to be like her nor a single boy that didn't want to be with her. You would think that someone getting so much attention would benefit from it, but she didn't. She was the most selfless girl, with the biggest heart ever. Well that was of course what Dan thought about her, she could've been a bitch but he wouldn't admit it being whipped by her. Dan must have gone silent for minutes because he got smacked on the arm by his friend.
"What?" he said startled.
"Where did you go man?"
"Oh, here. So where should I find her and where do you want us to meet you?" he asked forgetting about his teenage crush and focusing on his friend's pleasure.
Josh gave Dan all the explanations, telling him she should be walking home from work and she should be in front of her building at around 7 p.m. Dan should be waiting there and he would do his job that always seemed to work. A man with his looks wearing a suit and a smile was hard to say no to. It was 5 p.m. now so Dan thought it would be best if he started preparing himself now, after all he was going to meet his high school love for the first time in years.
Dan showered, got dressed, than undressed, than dressed again, then undressed than dressed until he finally thought that the outfit he was wearing should do it. It was a navy blue suit with a white shirt underneath it and a blue tie. He put on his most expensive watch, and his favorite perfume to impress her with his smell. He had no idea why he was this nervous, he and Josh did this at least twice a week, but he was feeling unbelievably anxious for an unknown reason. Maybe because it's the first time he will do this with someone he knew before, or maybe it's the fact that she's so beautiful, and then maybe it was his 15 years old self that was nervous and not him. Dan checked himself in the mirror one last time before he grabbed his keys and cell phone and exited the house. He got into his Audi and headed towards the address that Josh had given him. It was the first time he realizes how creepy his best friend is for knowing all the girls' addresses. Did he actually follow them home like a stalker? Or did he just ask about them? He had no idea; he never dared to ask either. Dan parked his car in front of her building and got off it sitting on a nearby bench waiting for her to appear. He sat there contemplating the surroundings, it was a nice neighborhood, a little bit too calm where no one was walking except to enter or a building or get into the car. He then took a look at the cars, he discovered that none of the cars was old, even two years old for that matter so it has to be a rich neighborhood too. Josh did mention that Serena was a lawyer so that explains how she was able to live in here, not that she needed a job, her mother is millionaire but he always imagined her as an independent girl who did it all by herself. He suddenly saw a flash of blond hair flying with the autumn wind which caused him to stand up brutally. The picture certainly didn't do her justice, she wasn't wearing sunglasses now which showed her glittering blue eyes. Her hair shone and she was wearing a tight black skirt with a white shirt and a black heels. Dan was mesmerized by the beauty in front of him, and suddenly walking seemed to be a hard thing to do. She was getting closer and closer to the building gate and he was stuck in his place unable to remove his eyes from her figure. He couldn't believe someone could be so perfect, so beautiful so, oh god he was losing it. Serena got into the building and it took him at least five minutes to gain his conscious back after it had been taken away by this golden goddess. Dan called his friend telling him that he wasn't able to catch her today and that he'll try the next day. He returned home, and looked at himself in the mirror, it all went for vain. His suit, perfume and watch. He spent two hours preparing himself only to choke at the sight of her. Dan changed into something more comfortable before sitting on the bed and pulling his laptop suddenly having the urge to write. Words flow and he couldn't control it. It was 12 p.m. and he noticed that he had already written twenty pages, what was it about? Well the one and only Serena Van Der Woodsen.
I admit it, it's a weird story. And I don't know if it's good weird or bad weird.
