It was 12 o'clock and Serena was going to meet Carter at a café. She text him that she was there and she ordered a diet coke and sat there waiting for Carter to come. She thought about the things going on in her life, sometimes the hardest part abut being Serena Van Der Woodsen was that she had a really busy life. She didn't always get the chance to think about her choices which lead her to make the wrong ones. She wondered if there was any truth to what she had heard from her friends about Carter or if they just don't know him like she does. She really liked him.
Just than Carter Baizen walked up and sat down. "Hey." He said while smiling. "Hey" she said grinning. "How are you?" Carter asked. "Im good, im starving though!" She said looking over the menu. After he laughed he added "Serena Im going out of town this week, I'll see when I get back. Im sorry I have some business and it wont take too long." Serena looked up "What kind of business?" "You know just business, stuff for a company im working with." He said. "You've kind of been a little secretive Carter. If there is anything you need to tell me or anything on your mind, im there for you. I don't want to push you to share everything with me but I want to be someone you can tell anything to. Okay?" Serena said. "Serena please don't worry, there is nothing going on. Its just business." He assured.
Serena smiled, "Okay! Lets eat!"
"No, No, Stop man." Nate said into the phone. "She's great in bed Nathaniel I just thought you should know." Chuck paused, "Well you would, but im sure I've taught her something." "Okay you see, this is why I always to insist that something is really wrong with you." Nate said as he chuckled. "Its not wrong to be amazing at –" Nate cut him off, "Im hanging up Chuck." "Alright alright, what's going on with you and whatever her name is now?" Chuck questioned. "What do you mean by that?"
"Nate come on, how many girls have you been with? I can't keep up with who it is now. Although I did see a redhead on Gossip Girl. Well done Nathaniel." Chuck smirked. "Stop it. Her name is Bree. I met her after my back packing trip didn't go to well with Vanessa." He said. "Oh and what happened with her?" He asked. "I don't know, I guess after spending a whole month with her, I just realized that maybe I could be friends with her but I don't think I really want to be in a relationship with her." Nate explained.
"Well good, because I would not have wanted you to come to the high society events with that on your arm." He said as Nate laughed. "Well im going to go, lets do something one of these nights okay?" He asked. "Im holding you to your word Nathaniel."
Serena was in Carters apartment, and they were sitting of the sofa kissing. "I really don't want you to go" she said as Carter cut her off by kissing her. "Me neither" he said as he trailer his fingers up and down her arms. Just than Serena's phone rang. "Its my mom I have to get this," she said as she got up, "but im sure it will just be a second." She smiled. "Hello?" "Serena where are you?" "Im with Carter right now mom, is everything okay?" She asked. "Yes everything is fine darling just come home soon because I have to go have dinner with an investor for a new project and I wanted to know if you were going to be home soon." Lily said. "Yeah, I'll be home in like a couple hours." She said. "Okay, call me when you get home dear." Lily told her. "Okay have fun at dinner, bye." Serena said and hung up the phone.
She went back to Carter and saw him on his phone texting someone. "So where were we?" she said as she kissed him. After a couple of seconds he pulled back, "Im pretty sure there but I have to go, im sorry." He stood up. "Where are you going?" She asked confused. "Im going to leave tonight, I have to catch my plane." He told her. "Your leaving tonight Carter?" Serena asked. She was obviously not under the impression that Carter was leaving tonight and she at least wanted some time with him. "Yeah im sorry Serena when I come back im going to make it up to you." He said as he kissed her and smiled. "Okay." She said as she kissed him.
After 1 hour she was home. She was bored and she was watching television. Just than she opened up her phone to see a Gossip Girl post.
What's wrong N? The waters aren't calm with your new girlfriend? I guess someone hasn't revealed a certain secret to the holder of her fortune has she? Don't worry N, im sure if it were me, I would claim you in a heartbeat, or the speed of bullet, whatever's faster. Spotted: N and his new girl having an argument outside his hotel. There wasn't any screaming but you could tell by the way they were talking neither was pleased. Im right here N!
Serena closed her phone. She knew that Bree hadn't told her father about her and Nate yet and that it bothered him but she didn't know he would get so upset. So she decided she would call him, but when she opened her phone to dial his number she thought she could just go over there and visit him. No one was home, Lily was at her dinner with the investors and Eric was with Jonathan so she could just go over to his place.
About half an hour later Serena showed up at Nate's door wearing dark skinny jeans, a white tank top, and a navy blue cardigan. She wasn't too dressed up but when you're Serena Van Der Woodsen you look gorgeous. She knocked on his door; she didn't hear anything for a couple seconds. So she knocked again, and he still hadn't come to the door, so she attempted one last time. When she hadn't heard anything the third time, she just guessed he wasn't home so she walked away.
"Serena?" she heard someone say behind her. "Nate! Are you dead? I was knocking for like 2 hours." She said as she walked in his apartment. "This is nice Nate, and clean surprisingly." She said laughing. "Well what can I say?" He said shrugging his shoulders. "So I read about you and Bree on Gossip Girl." "She knows already?" Nate asked shocked. "Yeah its Gossip Girl she knows everything." Serena said.
"I don't know Im just wondering since I want to be with her but I can never take her to any society events because she hasn't told her father. It was hot keeping it a secret for a while but now I just want to be with someone. You know what I mean?" Nate asked. "I really do." She nodded. "Carter is out of town for a week and he told me its for business but I don't know it feels like something is up with him. I just want to know what it is but then what if im just being paranoid and there's nothing. I just get the vibe from him and I don't know if I want to be a part of that anymore." Nate looked at her and he got off the couch. "You hungry?" He asked her. "No, I ate." "Well your eating again because I am." He smirked. "You are the worst Nate Archibald." She said as she smiled and got up to follow him to the kitchen. "So are you saying you want to end things with Carter?" Nate asked. "No, I don't because I really like him but I just don't know. I hate feeling confused."
"That's the thing with relationships S, they're so confusing. I don't know what I want, and I don't know if I want to be with someone who can't even decide when she wants to really be with me. It's frustrating." He said as he removed the chicken nuggets from the freezer. "I know what you mean. Should a relationship even feel like this? Like you you're always second guessing? Serena asked. "I don't know. Sometimes there are things that you wont know and you'll feel like there's something that's always going on, but you have to know where its worth it or not." He explained. "I don't know if it's worth it." She said as she watched Nate put the nuggets in the oven.
"Than maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship with him." Nate said. "Well what about your relationship N?" She asked. "I really like her. I think im going to give her space and time to figure it out, it's a lot on the line. Our fathers really didn't like each other." He evaluated his relationship while getting the fries out. "You should, she seems great. When are you going to introduce us! I don't even really know her!" Serena exclaimed. "Soon S." He said smiling up at her.
She walked over to the couch and laid down, he followed her. "I found the funniest picture yesterday." Nate said as he started laughing. Serena started to laugh watching Nate laugh. "What picture?" He walked into his room and got a picture. It was Serena Nate and Blair. Serena remembered that picture. She had jumped onto Nate and Blair's arm and all three of them had lost their balance and were on the floor laughing. Nate's leg was on Serena's, Blair hand with in Nate's face, and Serena's body was across Blair. They couldn't stop laughing and had the most disgusting expression on their faces.
"Oh my gosh, you have to burn this!" Serena said laughing as she feel over on Nate's bed. "I can't even believe I kept it all this time! Why would I do that to us?" He laughed and he sat down on this bed. "Your evil!" Serena laughed and she pushed Nate. He pulled her hair and than he got up and ran when he saw that she had that devious look on her face, they were running around his couch and Serena was trying to catch him. They were laughing and Nate ran into this room and went the other side of his bed, Serena jumped on the bed and leaped onto Nate. He fell over. They were laughing really hard.
"Ow!" Nate said. "Are you going to pull on my hair again?" she said as she pressed harder on the hand that was resting on Nate. "No!" She pressed harder "No!" She got up and started laughing, and than he pulled her and she landed on top of him. "Im going to kill you!" She said laughing. Than she looked at Nate and he was laughing and he looked so gorgeous. He stopped when he saw the way she looking at him.
"What?" he said. Than she kissed him because it was painful not to. "Serena" he said when they pulled apart to breathe. She just kissed him again and let her hands wander in this hair and he put his hands on her back.
She put her hands on his neck and kissed him again and than he took off her cardigan. She sighed when he kissed her neck and let his hands get lost in her hair.
Suddenly they heard a sound coming from the oven. The nuggets were done. They looked at each other for a second still on the floor and noticed that Nate didn't have a shirt on and Serena wasn't wearing her cardigan. They didn't say anything they just looked at each other. "Nate" Serena started. "Im so sorry." "No don't be sorry. I don't want you to be sorry." He said as he touched her waist. She looked at him and said "I can't. Im sorry. I uh I have to go." Serena got up without trying to find her cardigan and left.
Nate watched her leave and than put his head back down on the carpeted floor and thought about what happened.
