Rufus & Lilly – Engagement Party – September 19, 2009

"May I have this dance?"

Jenny cautiously glances at the outstretched hand, then rolls her big blue eyes at the mischievous grin plastered on the blonde's handsome face. "Oh but won't your boyfriend get jealous?"

Erik looks over his shoulder and winks at Jonathan who is talking to Serena and Lilly. "Oh him" He bats the thought away "He know you are the only woman for me." Erik states in his deepest most dashing voice.

Jenny accepts his hand dramatically batting her eyes "Sir, you are the most romantic."

Erik sweeps Jenny onto the floor with more grace and elegance than any man should ever possess. "I must say Jennifer you are looking quite delectable this evening."

"Why Sir, you make me blush with such forward words." Jenny mocks. She looks down at her best friends ashen face and burst out laughing. "Oh my darling, I'm sorry you haven't soaked up enough Chuck to successfully pull it off."

"Hey, I'm getting better!"

"Okay, yeah, much better." Jenny jokes entirely at his expense.

"Sure make fun of me. I see how much I'm loved"

"Aww you know I love you." She states snuggling closer as they dance. "After all you are my favorite best friend / brother / sister."

"HaHa funny! Laugh it up" Erik retorts acting hurt. "So why did I have to pull you from the buffet? Why aren't you out here dancing with all the guys?"

Jenny chokes on her laugh "Oh My God you are so whipped. Have you seriously not looked around?"

Erik falters a little as he begins to scan his surroundings. "Ummm well, there's Dan."

"Whom I've already danced with but doesn't count he's my brother."

"Oh look there is old man Truscott, looking good." Erik jokes.

"Yeah, I think I would have to hold him up if we dance."

"Well, umm, oh look there's your other brother. I'm sure he would dance with you."

Erik spins her around and her eyes make contact with cool calculating eyes of Chuck Bass. Swallowing a lump Jenny replies "Rather not."

Not noticing the tension there Erik spins her to another part on the floor. "How about, oh I know, Cousin Brayden."

"Oh, lovely. What he's like 11."

"Hey he just turned 12. And totally a ladies' man I hear. Besides you didn't seem to like them older so how about younger."

"Thanks Erik! Get me in trouble. I don't think I'm ready to be the cougar…Just yet."

"Damn, you are picky."

"Hey find me someone my age and not two feet in the ground or in the playground sand and I'll dance with him."

That mischievous grim returned. "Oh really."

Once again Erik spun her around and she came face to face with none other than Nathanial Archibald.

"You know I miss this…you. What have you been up to? Haven't heard much from you lately."

Jenny shrugs the question off "You know school, clothes, queen, school, clothes."

"And how is that going? I only get the occasionally text here and there. I don't even see you in the mornings anymore."
