A/N: I do NOT own Gossip Girl.
The fic is about a year in the life of Nate and Vanessa full of surprises. Some little some big. How i like to imagine them. Please excuse the extreme cheesiness. I can't help it. :) The story will mainly be from Vanessa's POV.
------
This Chapter is bout the morning after. There isn't much NV and its still extremely cheese. I wanted to throw some home life in. The next chapter should have more NV interaction. Hope you guys like it.
----------------------------------------------------
I was awoken the next morning by the sound of Nate's phone vibrating.
"Nate…your phone." I nudged him to wake up.
"What…huh…oh."
I suddenly felt cold when he climbed out of bed to get his phone. He walked into his bathroom so I couldn't hear who he was talking to.
He reappeared with a face of shock. "Nate? Is everything ok?"
"Bart Bass died in an accident last night. That was Serena asking if I had seen Chuck since he found out."
"Ohmygosh, poor Chuck. How was Serena holding up?"
"Um…She's Ok, I guess. Listen, Sorry, but I have to go find Chuck; make sure he's ok."
"Ok. I totally understand. Let me get my stuff and let you get to Chuck. When you find him, give him my condolences please."
"Wait, you don't have to go Vanessa. Come with me." Grabbing my hand away from the door.
"No Nate. Chuck is your friend and he needs you right now. Just call me later." I kissed him and proceeded down the stairs.
I got outside and hailed a cab.
When I arrived by home, I was greeted by my sister on a high. She was making breakfast and blasting music singing and dancing. I guess she had a good night too.
"Well, well, well….Late night 'Nessa? Guess that means you didn't break up with that Archie guy or you did and went and got drunk and hooked up with Tom, Dick or Harry down the block."
I tossed my stuff in the chair, and walked over to the bar stool in the kitchen and laughed. "I did break up with Nate. But he came after me and said that after all we've been through he only wanted to be with me. So we kissed and made up."
"Oh, that explains the smile and you wearing…are those his clothes? 'Nessa I never took you as a Walk of shame girl. But then again, you are my sister." She said, pushing a plate of waffles to me.
"I have done nothing to be shamed of. He wanted me out of my dress…" I said stuffing my face.
"I'm sure he did…" Ruby mocked.
"No, no, no. Not like that. The dress Jenny gave me yesterday was see-through. She set me up for humiliation. Nate let me change into a pair of his clothes at his house."
"Wait what? Little Jhumph gave you that beautiful dress and it was see-through? What did she do to humiliate you? Why would she do that? I thought you were breaking up with Rich Boy for her."
"Yeah, well I guess Jenny and I are going to have to talk all this craziness over. We've both done some bad things to each other…But I don't want to think about that right now. Even after all that, I had the best night of my life."
"Awwww…look at you blushing. That good, aye? Hope you used protection." She said sipping her coffee.
"RUBY! We didn't anything. I changed clothes, we ate s'mores then slept. I may be your sister but I don't just do that with anybody."
"Oh what are you trying to say? Are you saying I'm easy? I mean I made Tom, Dick and Harry all wait till…2 am." She laughed.
"You said it, not I." I quipped.
"But you always were the better sister. The good girl." She mocked.
"You said it, no I." I smiled at her and grabbed another waffle from the stack.
"I'm sure Archie will change that, sooner rather than later." She said walking out of the kitchen and into her room.
I finished my plate of food and cup of coffee, grabbed my things from the chair and went to my room. I had taken the day off of work, thinking I would be home curled up in bed crying about giving up the guy I loved. I never would have thought about him coming after me, spending the night for him to us to go our separate ways again.
I took a shower and was in the process of getting dressed when I noticed my phone vibrating. It was a missed call from Nate.
"Hey Vanessa, I just wanted to call you and make sure you made it home safely. We still haven't found Chuck, but I'm sure he's ok. Hopefully, we find him soon. Oh and I sent you a little gift. Talk to you later."
"VANESSA! Prince Charming sent you a surprise." Ruby said banging on my door.
I opened my bedroom door to a huge bouquet of red roses and a box. I took the flowers from Ruby and laid them on my desk and read the note that was attached.
"Thinking of you. Miss you already. Nate."
Then I took the opened the box. Inside were my shoes from the night before. I didn't even notice I left them.
"Do they fit, Cinderella?" Ruby joked.
"Yes!" I said slamming the door in her face.
