AN: As disgustingly main-steam as it may be, I adore the song and I love the idea of couples behaving all cutesy like that. So, this is going to be around 4-5 fairly short Oneshots centered around my favorite couples. Enjoy, and reviews keep me going!
Still looking for a beta!
Disclaimer: If I owned gossip girl, Georgina and Blair would forget their differences, team up, come out of nowhere and kick Elle into Tuscany.
Baby, you know that I miss you,
I wanna get with you tonight,
But I cannot baby girl,
And that's the issue,
Girl you know I miss you,
I just wanna kiss you,
But I can't right now,
So baby kiss me through the --
For the first time in his life, Dan Humphrey enjoyed a mainstream hip-hop song enough to set it as his personal ring tone. After knocking over a de-caf cappuccino and succeeding in soaking three of his most expensive textbooks in Starbuck's finest brew, the Brooklynite managed to grab his singing Samsung before it hit the ground. Knowing fully well who the caller would be (thank god for customizing jingles) a smile graced his mouth before he even clicked 'talk.'
"Morning, S."
"S? When do you of all people, call me S?" Laughed a bubbly blonde from the other end of the line.
"Just doing my best to make you feel at home." Dan chirped, balancing the phone between his shoulder and head as he attempted to mop up the brown water presently seeping through the covers of his three current bibles; Literature, Chemistry and Political Sciences.
"Speaking of which, I won't be..." Serena's earlier bright voice faltered slightly.
Noticing the hint of hesitation seeping through, Dan imagined that over 1000 miles away, she must have been curling a lock of sunny blonde hair around her finger, biting her bottom lip while figuring out how to say it, whatever it was. The Yale undergrad decided to venture.
"Won't be....?"
"Coming home."
"...Oh." Real subtle, Humphrey. He mentally scolded himself. Dan hated to think of himself as clingy, but really now. After not seeing the love of your life for over 3 months, reserving a table at a resteraunt that costs as much as your yearly tutition and spending several weeks thinking of an original way to present a diamond ring as bright as the lady who helped him pick it out; who wouldn't be upset.
"Dan, I'm sorry. I really am. It's just, Poppy is having this huge gala down here. I tried to get out of going, but then she sprung the whole New Year's favor thing on me, and Blair's flying in, so will Kati and Penelope and-" Serena continued to ramble on and forth in her apologetic tone.
"No, no. It's fine. It was just going to be dinner anyway. Nothing big." Not like I was going to ask you to spend the re-
"Oh, I knew you would understand! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dan!" Even over the phone, he could sense her beaming smile, interrupting him from his thought. Well, it's not like he was ever able to fully digest the idea anyway, it was too surreal, too perfect. Besides, he would much rather hear the sound of her voice than dwell on some 'will she, or won't she' prospect, that may have had his blood stopping.
"Anytime, S." He smirked relishing her socialite nickname, knowing that if she were in reach of him, he would be on the receiving end of playful swatts.
Bubbling laughter once again filled his ears, and he abandoned the idea that any of his books could be saved. "We have to meet up though! Next weekend?"
"Saturday?" He replied, marking the date in on his weekly planner.
"It's a deal. Bye, love you! Mwah!"
"Mwah." Dan replied, smacking his lips against the Blackberry Storm.
He flipped the phone shut, and shoved it into his pocket, left with a desk full of soggy papers, an empty Starbucks container, several stares from customers and a dorky smile plastered on his face.
