Dan and Serena haven't been seeing each other for awhile now, it has been more than a year since the last time they talk. Both busy and have different priorities now.

Dan Humphrey, a guy with full of dreams and passion in him that attract most of the rich and famous girls around Manhattan. He doesn't even know why a guy like him can make a girl like them fall in love with him but he never complains. He is working with a new publishing company as an assistant director, but still with the status he wouldn't want to have a driver and always walk to work.

Serena Van Der Woodsen, her name itself is famous around NYC. She's the face of her own clothing line that she collaborate with Blair. She have the name, title, fame and everything that a girl in her age could ever imagine.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you" Dan said picking up the magazine on the floor. "I was not paying attention, I'm so sorry"

"It's okay, I should have been more aware" Serena said wiping clean her dress that is not filled with coffee and look at the familiar guy who's helping her picking up her stuff "is that you, Dan?" she asked immediately. "Dan Humphrey?"

"Se-re-na" Dan said shocked. "Hi" handing the magazine back to Serena.

"It's been awhile" Serena said looking at Dan "How are you?." Serena is shocked to see Dan standing in front of her. He look so much different now, well in a good way.

"I'm good, I think... just tired" Dan answered while brushing his hair "how are you?" Dan asked.

"I'm great, I should go, home... I smell like coffee" Serena said embarrassed but she smell her own shirt and it is impossible to forget the detail of the coffee "Vanilla latte from Starbucks to be exact" she said rolling her eyes, laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Dan asked confused.

"Nothing, your coffee fix is still the same from the smell of my shirt" Serena said smiling.

"Yah, nothing change and New York is small after all" Dan said awkwardly. He can't help but to look at Serena's finger. She is wearing a ring on her finger. "Awkward" he said.

"Very much awkward" Serena replied. "I got to go, I'm late!"

"Yah, go... take care" Dan said smiling as he gave Serena a way to leave.

Dan turned back and look at Serena from behind. He knows that both of them have stayed away from each other, too much has happened and they don't know how to turn things back to the way it was.

Dan's Central Park West Apartment

"You have 10 voice messages" the voice message box replaying all the voice inbox that Dan had gotten throughout the day, and not a surprise to him, it's from girls and more girls.

He pour himself a glass of Chivas on the rock and knock on Jenny's door. Jenny is staying with him, as it would be easier for her to go to school.

"Hey Jenn" Dan said knocking on his sister's door.

"You're back early, going out?" Jenny asked her brother, but know something was up because his brother seem to be thinking.

"A penny for your mind?"

"Nothing, its work" He lied.

"Are you sure? Because I know you Dan, this is not work?" Jenny asked again "girl problem?."

"Nothing really, I'm just tired" Dan said lying to Jenny, while talking to Jenny he opens up the envelope from his credit card company. "You spend $5000 on a day shopping, on what?" he asked furiously.

"Clothes and shoes, I'm sorry!" Jenny said shyly "Serena's new season collection is really great, and I loved it!."

"Serena?" Dan asked.

"Yeah, you know that she's designing now right?" Jenny said "and she's doing really well Dan."

"Oh good for her! Hmm, so what's new with her besides her clothing line?" Dan asked coyly "you're still friends with Eric right?

"New, the only thing I know is that she just got engaged" Jenny said not paying attention to her brother but realised that Serena is still a big part of Dan's life "are you okay?"

"Yah, ofcourse!" Dan lied again. "So who's the lucky guy?"

"It's Carter Baizen!" she said looking at Dan with sad face.

"Ah, good for her... I got to go to bed Jenny, good night alright" he said got up from his chair and kiss Jenny on her head.

Jenny took her cell phone from her hand bag and text Eric.

E,

I think my brother is not over Serena and you hate Carter, we need a plan!

Love,

J

Dean and Delluca

"Serena, I've been talking to you since god knows how long, what's going on?" Blair asked.

"It's Carter, I can't seem to figure him out... he said he'll be back and look, I'm alone again" Serena confessed.

"Tell me something new... I don't know why you have to be engaged with Carter" Blair asked.

"I don't know, I've been with him for awhile and when he asked me to be his wife without thinking I just said yes"

"It's your choice, but I never approved him neither do Nate and Chuck" Blair said. "God, people still read Dan's book?" pointing at the young lady across their table, reading Dan Humphrey first novel.

"It's a good book" Serena replied to Blair looking at the girl. "There's nothing wrong with reading a good book over and over again."

"Oh, just like you?" Blair teased.

"No, I don't read Dan's book over and over again... not anymore" she blushed.

"Speaking of Dan, did you know that he is the director of that publishing company now... Cabbage Patch is a rich author and director, who would even imagine." Blair said.

"He is really? Good for him!"

"Even you don't believe in him, you left him... remember?" Blair said reminding Serena about Dan and their previous relationship.

"That's enough, it's an old story"

"Okay, but he is Dan Humphrey. The last time I saw him was at this party. He's with a model" Blair said looking at Serena.

"Maybe, his girlfriend... can we change topic now" Serena begged Blair.

"OMG, you're not over him!" Blair asked.

"I am, I'm so over him... I just... I saw him today, that's all... and I don't know, just seeing him today bring back memories" Serena confessed.

"He looks good, right?"

"Just the way he looks at me, it makes me feel safe but I'm with Carter now!" Serena said sadly.

"Yah, he's an old boyfriend from high school. You don't want that, right?" Blair trying to lighten up the situation as she knows Serena is missing Dan.

"Yah, I have Carter. It's all good" Serena said.

Hi guys,
