I try not to go on and on with introductions. This is a random story that seemed to nag at me until I wrote it down. There will be three main couples in my story…Blair/Chuck, Serena/Dan, and Lola/Nate. They will all be set up by Harold using some cunning, wit, determination, connections, and money.
Disclaimer: Gossip Girl is not mine…if it was I'd get Chair together and fire the writers in a heartbeat.
Most men had mid life crises but Harold Waldorf was too well bred and a crisis seemed much too plebian. He was; however, tempted to look back on his life, to evaluate, ponder his triumphs and mistakes. Often he would think, "What if I made that deal instead?" or "If only I could go back I time."
No, he would always shake himself out of that poor state. He just didn't have time for nonsense thoughts like those.
Looking forward like always, he turned his thoughts to his children.
His oldest Blair was the epitome of perfection. At age twenty-four she had really made a name for herself in the public relations world. Brunette, incredibly slim, and had doe brown eyes most guys got lost in. Her looks and brains made the complete package.
His second, Serena, was a year younger and certainly a firecracker that enjoyed the spotlight. The camera truly loved her and she was one of the most well known models of the twenty first century. Blonde, tall with long legs, and loyal to a fault, everyone cheered up when they met her.
And there was his baby girl, Lola, who was the sweetest person you'd ever meet. Age twenty-one, blonde, down to earth, and certainly the best cook in Manhattan. She owed her own catering business and was hired by the Upper East Side's most elite constantly despite her young age.
Harold Waldorf was irrefutably a rich man. Oh, not just in dollars and property, but in family. His pride in his children nearly as great as his love for Roman. It was certainly a scandal causing relationship but when Eleanor died he knew he'd never love another woman as much as her. On her death bed he promised her he'd move on and make sure the children were happily married. He never could break a promise he made her.
Regretfully the children were too focused on their careers to think about love. Perhaps a little nudge would get them going on the right paths and fill his and Roman's arms with grandchildren to spoil.
