Chapter 1 the proposal
'Close your eyes and don't peak' Nate said, his voice sounded enthusiastic and expectant at the same time. He closed his big strong hands around her head so that she would not be able to see anything but his hands. Serena couldn't help but think about the nice smell of Nate around her, she could stand here all day if she had to. Nothing could ruin this moment, she was with Nate and they were all alone. Nate helped her around the room and she put her faith in him completely. When he was finally ready to show her his surprise he removed his hands and waited for her reaction. Serena who was still in trance kept her eyes shut without any hesitation. It was until Nate coughed and asked her to open her eyes that she finally came back to reality. To her nice surprise the reality was just as good as the dream. It might have been better. In the loft in the Empire hotel on the upper east side of Manhattan Nate's bedroom had been completely decorated with flower peddles and candles. In the left corner of his bedroom a table was set up. On the table stood a big bottle of champagne and a bowl of strawberries with chocolate. 'Happy anniversary' Nate whispered into Serena's ear. They had been together almost a year. They had been lost there for a while, but they were meant to be all along. Serena turned around and stretched her arms around his neck giving him four kisses, one in his neck, one on his cheek, one on the corner of his mouth and the last one on his lips. Nate's big blue eyes looked down to her and she gave him a little naughty glance. Faking an innocent face she pretended to be embarrassed about forgetting to get him a present. But of course Nate didn't believe it and with a crooked grin he lifted her up in his arms and started to shake her up and down. When she almost died with laughter she begged him to put her down and his grin gave her heart a flutter. She walked across the room and dug something up from her duffel. She had been spending most of her time here and almost never went to the loft she used to share with Blair, her best friend. She found a little silver package in her bag and gave it to him. Nate who was curious started to pick the wrapping paper apart and open it immediately. In his hand lay a silver pocket watch, it seemed to be an antique. When he turned it around it said loves know no bounds and the encryption was as old as the watch. Serena whispered 'It was my grandfathers, he told me to give it to the man I would love forever' her voice wavered for a minute 'he wanted me to give it to my future husband' her cheeks inflamed because of a blush she waited for his reply. Nate first shocked soon knew what he was going to answer. He decisively got down on one knee and gave a small tug on Serena's hand. She turned around expecting to be turned down but her heart did a little jump when she saw he was sitting on one knee. 'Serena van der Woodsen, will you do me the incredible honor of becoming my wife' Nate asked. 'I will' Serena replied immediately. She flung around his neck and began to kiss him passionately. He lifted her onto his bed and they didn't think of any other thing in the entire world anymore. They were alone, just the two of them.
