Whitney was nervously waiting for Ethan to arrive. Tonight was the night. She was finally going to give herself to the man that she was going to spend the rest of her life with. After this there would be no going back. Pilar, the maid, announced Ethan's arrival.

"Miss Whitney Ethan's here"

"Send him up Pilar."

"You can go on up Mr. Ethan"

Ethan nervously made his way to Whitney. I have to tell her tonight he thought. With the news of Gwen's return there was no way he could get away with what he'd done. He tapped on the door before opening it. Once entering he saw the candles and rose petals and her sitting on the bed in a negligee. He closed the door and Whitney made her way over to Ethan. She kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her. Think. I can't do this. I need to tell her. I can't keep living a lie. He pushed her away.

"Are you sure?" Whitney kissed him again.

"Wait. I… We need to talk. Last year. I was at a wedding I saw Gwen. She was drunk and dancing on a table top in one of the back rooms. Realizing the potential dangers she could get into I tried to help her. Next thing I know we were in storage closet kissing and …"

"What… what are you saying?" Whitney asked teary eyed.

"And then one thing led to another."

"Huh?" Please God tell me I'm not hearing what I think I'm hearing.

"I slept with Gwen."

"How could you? How could she?" walking the room she grabbed the lamp and attempted to throw it Ethan.

"Get the Hell Out. I never want to see you again."

"Miss Whitney, Gwen is here" Pilar called to Whitney.

"I'm own my way down" Whitney was going to enjoy telling her so called best friend exactly what she thought of her. She gracefully walked down the curving staircase, not going to give her a hint of what she was thinking. This was going to be fun, she thought.

As soon as Whitney's feet reached the floor, Gwen rushed over to give her friend a hug, but was caught off by the expression on her face. It was saying –don't-touch-me-bitch. The smile that once graced her face was now replaced by an expression that mingled with shock and fear. He wouldn't tell, would he, she thought.

"Let me make this easy for you. I know" Whitney said while heading toward the couch.

"What do you know?"

"That you're nothing but a slut" she said while casually sitting down giving Gwen a smile that no one would consider nice.

"What…I." Gwen grasped trying to find a response. Shit, she knows, she thought.

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about."

A million different words flooded Gwen's head trying to come up with the right words to say, but the only thing that came out was a weak, "I'm sorry."

Whitney lost it, she couldn't believe that the woman standing in front of her was someone she considered a friend. Not just a friend, but a sister. "Get the hell out!!"

"Whit….I…"

"Save it for someone who gives a damn" Whitney got off the couch and walked back up to her room not giving her childhood friend a second glance.

I knew things were going to get juicy with the hierarchy's back intact. G spotted running from W's penthouse looking more than a bit distraught. And shall I say with tears falling from her eyes. What the hell happened G?

You know you love me

Gossip Girl

Theresa stared at the latest gossip girl message. How she wished she could be in their world, to wear their clothes, to have their lives, and to especially be anywhere near Ethan. Ethan Winthrop was the only boy she had ever wanted to be with. Every time she saw him she would get these fluttering butterflies in her stomach. She pined after him; she was completely and totally obsessed. Letting out a sigh, she imagined her life with Ethan not even realizing that her brother Hank was watching her.

"Theresa, when are you going to give it up?"

"Give up what"

"This obsession with Ethan"

"I am not obsessed unlike some people" Theresa always knew where to push her brothers buttons. He had a serious crush on a certain blonde. "You know Gwen's back in town."

"And…why…would I care?" Hank couldn't help the small smile that was beginning to grace his face, which didn't go unnoticed by his little sister.

"I think me and Whit are through"

"So?" Fox said a little irritated at Ethan. He had pounded on his door entirely too early for a Saturday, especially when he had two lovely ladies to wake up to.

"What do you mean so?"

"For the past year, you haven't stopped talking about your copulation with a certain blonde. Now that she's back and things have ended with your girlfriend what's the problem?"

For some reason Ethan couldn't answer that question. Whitney was the safe choice, his father's choice of who he should be. Gwen was new and different. Being with Gwen was rebellious, but just how much was he going to give up to be defiant of his father?

"Fox"

"Whit"

"Are you going to let me in or what?"

"I was wondering when you were going to show up at my door." Fox said giving her his devilish grin.

Whitney rolled her eyes and pushed her way past him into his suite at the Palace Hotel. "Did you know?" she asked turning around toward him with a blank expression on her face.

"Know what?"

"Don't play dumb with me"

Fox walked over toward Whitney placing his right hand on her cheek and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "And if I did?"

Whitney pushed him off of her to look in his green eyes. He knew. That bastard didn't tell me. She wasn't pissed because if she was pissed she wouldn't find herself slowly walking over to Fox holding his glass of scotch. And she wouldn't take the glass from his hand and place it on the counter, gently pulling at his signature scarf so that his face was only inches from hers. And if she was truly pissed, she definitely wouldn't give him a passionate kiss on the lips before leaving his suite.

But again whoever said she was pissed.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"What's with you?" Chad asked as he took a seat across from her at The Book Cafe.

"I just have had a really awful day"

"Tell Chad what happened"

"You remember I told you about my best friend Whit and that I did something really horrible that would ruin our friendship…..Well, it did"

"It can't be that horrible, could it?" Chad gave her a questioned look.

"I slept with my best friends' boyfriend"

A shocked expression enveloped his face. "Tell me you didn't"

"Hey, I told you I was a different person last year"

He knew there was a reason for her leaving, but he didn't think it was this. Of all the time he had known her, she seemed sweet and well unlike a person who would sleep with their best friends' boyfriend. "So, what are you going to do about it?"

"There's nothing I can do about it"

"I'm sure if you were as close as you say, then you two wouldn't let some guy come between the two of you."

"You don't know Whit."

"Have you run into any blondes lately?" Theresa teased her brother as he made his way into the kitchen.

"Haha very funny."

"You didn't answer my question. Have you run into the woman of your dreams yet?"

"Theresa quit it"

Before she could respond, the phone started to ring and Hank picked it up.

"Hello"

"Hey son, is your sister around"

"Yeah she's actually right in front of me being her annoying self"

Theresa ran around the counter to listen to the phone.

"I was wondering if you and your sister wanted to come and join me in Europe this summer. I really miss you two. So, what do you think?"

"I would love too" Theresa screamed

"Well, what about you Hank?"

"I don't know, I kind of have plans for this summer. I'll see how it all goes and get back to you."

"Okay, remember I love you"

"We love you too mom" Theresa said

"Bye"

As soon as Hank hung up the phone he felt Theresa slap him on the back of his head.

"Hey, what's that for"

"We both know that you don't have anything planned for this summer."

"And?"

"Why won't you give the guy a chance?"

"Theresa drop it" Hank said as he walked toward his room slamming the door shut.
