Chapter 2.
Once she had finished enjoying Serena's soft lips, Jenny pulled back and noticed everyone staring at her and as she turned to face her dad she felt she was about to lose her good girl image again.
Rushing over to him, she began her defense, "It's not what you think. I mean, it is kind of, but I was going to tell you, but I didn't know how. You know there's nothing wrong with me kissing another girl, right?"
"Jenny, this isn't just another girl, it's Dan's former girlfriend and your soon to be step sister and even if it's only a small amount she is older than you. Maybe that's why you kept it a secret."
"No, I've never thought of that at all, I think that's silly." Jenny said, not understanding her dad's logic at all, "I was worried because she was with Dan before and yes because you seem intent on marrying Lily, but I'm not ashamed of kissing Serena, so I hope you're not going to try and punish me or something for this."
"That's not what I was going to do, but I do think this has to end." Rufus explained while getting the evil eye from his angry daughter, "We would've said the same thing to Dan and Serena had they still been together. It's just not appropriate. We are going to be a family soon and this just doesn't feel right at all."
"I don't care." Jenny yelled, but quickly lowered her voice as her dad glared at her, "We are not related, so it doesn't apply and who knows if you'll marry Lily, things can change. You might find out something that makes you have a change of heart." Jenny stopped herself before she said too much.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, but if you can't support me and Serena then I don't want you here." Jenny stated firmly as she turned to her brother, "That goes for you to Dan."
Dan held up his hands, "I didn't say a thing."
Jenny glared at her brother, "Oh, and I'm guessing you're thrilled about it?"
"I wouldn't go that far, but I'm staying out of this, for now."
"How nice of you." Jenny said sarcastically, wanting oh so much for her brother to be mad, "Oh well, it doesn't matter, because I'm still going to be here with Serena, so whatever."
Serena waited for the fireworks to simmer down and she walked over to Jenny, "That was fun."
"Don't be mad." Jenny said with a sexy pout, "I didn't plan on kissing you, but I was so happy and when I saw you I wanted to share it with you and I was just going to give you a hug, but when I'm that close to you it's just too easy to kiss you."
"In a way I'm glad, because I was tired of sneaking around and now that it's out in the open maybe we can have some peace and quiet."
Blair barged between the two blondes, "Well, that was some show. Are you going to keep denying you are sleeping with Jenny?"
"Why must you make everything a drama?" Serena asked.
"I don't think I'm the one who's making out with her ex-boyfriends little sister in front of her father. I'd say you created the drama." Blair stated with her usual flair.
"I'm not going to argue with you." Serena said, knowing she had nothing to argue with, "I know I should've told you but it's not easy giving you bad news. You don't really take it well."
"You got that right, but I thought I'd earned the right to be told before everyone else, good or bad. I guess I was wrong." Blair said, putting on her victim's pout.
Seeing Blair's feelings hurt always made Serena feel bad, "I'm sorry okay? How much do you hate this?"
"Believe it or not I don't hate it." Blair replied, her mood picking up after getting the prerequisite sorry, "I don't like it, but I like both of you and you know I can't stay mad at you for long, so if this is what you want then I'm going to have to deal with it. Just don't kiss it front of me, I have a weak stomach."
Serena glared intently at Blair, "You mean don't kiss Jenny not 'it', right Blair?"
"Did I say it? That must've been a slip." Blair smiled, "Fine, I'm sorry. I was teasing. But seriously, don't kiss her in front of me please."
"Oh it's not that bad." Serena said with a laugh, "But, I'm glad you are taking this so well. I don't want to lose you as a friend."
"You can't. You're stuck with me." Blair said, giving Serena a big hug, "So what do we do now? If you don't tell your mom she's going to find out and be just as mad as Jenny's dad."
"I know and I dread that conversation. She's going to say the same things that Jenny's dad did and I know we are going to have a big fight about this."
"Better to fight before she finds out from someone else."
"I guess I should go find her then. I hope Rufus doesn't get to her first." Serena began to walk away, but quickly turned back, after all but forgetting about Jenny, "I don't know if you want to come with me or not. This party is for you so I want you to stay and enjoy it."
"I can't enjoy it if you're not here. That's the whole point." Jenny sighed, trying to hold in her disappointment, "Anyway, I don't feel much like partying right now. With my dad acting all weird and your mom about to get all weird, it's not going to be fun for a while."
"Don't think about it. I'm sure they'll calm down in a few days and realize there's nothing wrong with us being together."
"I wish I could believe you, but I kind of expected something like this to happen, I just hoped it would be years from now."
"Look, Blair's still here you could have fun her, right?" Serena asked as she looked around the room, "Where did Vanessa go?"
"Vanessa had things to do and I'm sure Blair, well, I don't see us bonding. She really doesn't like me being with you, she just tolerates it because of you."
"That's not true. Why would you say that?"
"Um, because she told me." Jenny said bluntly, "She is very protective of you and I get that, but I feel like I'm always under the Blair microscope and the moment I screw up she's going to be there going, 'I told you so' and that's really hard to live with."
"I'll talk to her and make sure she gives you some space."
"Thanks. Anyway, I'm just going to go home. I'll call you later, okay?" Jenny said as she leaned in to kiss Serena, but stopped, "Should I wait until we're alone to kiss you?"
"No, I don't think it matters now, everyone here saw our last kiss and I'm sure they survived, so please kiss away." Serena said with a smile as she leaned in and kissed Jenny softly on the lips.
Jenny happily kissed Serena back, enjoying the idea of kissing her in the middle of a huge party with so many people around. They kissed and kissed and kissed until the sound of someone clearing their throat repeatedly caused them to stop and turn around to see who was interrupting them.
Jenny shook her head in disgust, "Would you go away. Why didn't go with dad?"
"Because dad asked me to bring you home." Dan said, trying to stay focused on Jenny as Serena smirked in the background.
"Oh he did not, you're just trying to ruin my night."
"I have better things to do than crash your party. Now, let's go." Dan said, always happy to order his little sister around.
"I was already going, so you can leave. I don't need a ride, I'll walk thanks."
"Suit yourself, I'm sure Serena loves to see the immature brat you really are." Dan said, happy to get in the last zinger as she turned and left the fancy party.
"Oh god I hate him so much." Jenny screamed and then quickly remembered her brother's comment, "You're not mad at me are you? He just gets on my nerves. He thinks he's so perfect, it's so annoying."
"I understand." Serena said with a smile, "I don't have many fights with Eric, but when we do fight we go for the jugular."
"I hope he's not right, I don't mean to be immature."
Serena smiled, "Don't let him get to you. You're very mature and I don't judge you based on your interaction with your brother."
"Good." Jenny said with a relieved smile, "Well, I guess I should get going. I hope things go better with your mom. She seems more understanding than my dad, so I'll keep my fingers crossed."
"Thanks." Serena smiled and then walked out of the large building with Jenny by her side.
Serena's Home.
Serena hung up her coat and walked into the living room, then into the kitchen before finally heading to the den where she saw her mom sitting in her favorite chair reading some novel. She walked up and sat down on the large sofa beside her until her mother looked up from her book, "Hi. I need to talk to you. Have you talked to Rufus recently?"
"No and I asked you to call him Mr. Humphrey."
"Should I call him dad when you get married?" Serena asked with a healthy dripping of sarcasm.
"Serena, we've had this discussion before, I never said you had to call him dad, but you will treat him with respect. That's not a request."
"Okay, I will." Serena nodded and then moved up and stood in front of her mother, "I need to talk to you about something and it can't wait."
"What is it?"
Serena got back to her feet and did a little pacing before she finally stopped in front of her mother, "I've been dating someone and I haven't told you because I didn't know how. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice and I'm not sure you're going to like it."
"Let me be the judge of that."
"Just keep an open mind." Serena said as she got to her feet and began to slowly pace around the large den, "I've been dating Jenny Humphrey for the last few months and I really like her and things are going really well and I don't want this marriage of yours to get in the way of that."
Serena's mother jumped to her feet, eyes bulging and nose flaring, "OMG Serena, why Jenny? You just broke up with her brother. You don't think that's awkward enough? What happens when we become a family and live together? I sure hope you don't think that means you can have sleepovers with Jenny all the time. We were worried enough when you were dating Dan, but this is no different, the same rules apply."
"I haven't even thought of the living arrangements because I really hoped this wouldn't happen. I like Rufus, I mean Mr. Humphrey, but you two didn't work 20 years ago, what makes you think it will work now?" Serena said, continuing to shuffle around the room.
"Stop changing the subject." Lily said, grabbing Serena's arm so she'd finally stand still, "Don't you think that being with Jenny is just a way to cause Dan some pain? I know you say you ended on good terms, but how often does that really happen?"
"Mom, I am not dating Jenny to get revenge." Serena said, rolling her eyes at how her mother's mind worked, "You sure don't think much of me. I like her. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I know it's a bit weird that she's Dan's sister, but I'm not going to stop seeing her because it's weird for other people."
"What about Blair? I always thought she was your only love."
"We tried it as a couple and it just didn't work." Serena said with a sigh, "We just fight too much when we're together for too long. It's who we are. We are so much better as friends."
"I want you to be happy, but you know this can't last." Lily said in a condescending tone, "You can't be dating her when you're both adults. You can't come to family reunions as a couple. No, that's not going to happen. It's best you end this now before it gets more complicated and confusing."
"Well, I think I'm going to go bed now. I've done my part. I've told you about Jenny and how you deal with it is up to you." Serena said with a smile as she gave her mom a big hug, "Goodnight mom."
Lily could only look on in silence as Serena marched out of the room.
Blair Waldorf's Bedroom.
A knock on her door got Blair to her feet and she walked over and opened it, more than a little surprised at who was knocking, "How did you get up here?"
"Oh I have my ways." Georgina said with a smile as she barged passed Blair, looking around at the lavish bedroom, "Well, this is everything I dreamed it would be."
"Aren't you supposed to be locked away somewhere?" Blair snapped as she took in Georgina's very short, very tight silver dress.
"Amusing as always, but no, you got rid of me for a while, but I've spent the last year getting back into my parents good graces and now I'm here for payback."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, it is so." Georgina said, staring down at the much shorter girl, "I've been doing a little research into Serena's life since I left and I'm happy she's not with you or Dan, but I'm a little disappointed she's with that bleach blonde bimbo Jenny. Why would you allow that to happen?"
Blair moved away from Georgina, mostly because she couldn't keep her eyes off the skimpy dress she was wearing. "First of all, I don't control Serena's love life, secondly, I happen to like Jenny and thirdly, get out you psycho bitch."
"You need to watch your tongue Blair, because I don't have a lot of patience and if you continue to be rude I will put an end to it."
"Are you going to kill me?" Blair asked with a raucous laugh.
"No you drama queen," Georgina said with a spontaneous laugh, "I have much better plans for your demise and the best part is you gave me all the ammo I need, so please, either get on board and try and help me or I'll destroy what's left of your pathetic life."
"Nobody threatens me and gets away with it." Blair moved back towards Georgina and flashed her icy glare, "Whatever you think you have on me just remember, I have just as much on you and probably more. I'm better at what I do."
"We all know you are the queen B of this little hellhole you call your life, but how could you be so careless when you are screwing around with your best friend's mother? That's just asking for trouble." Georgina said with a proud smile, flopping down on Blair's bed so she could savor her reaction.
"You think that's going to make me help you? Think again crazy girl." Blair said as she walked slowly towards her computer. Once seated, she turned to Georgina, "Come have a look at this. I think you'll find it fascinating."
Georgina smiled and walked over and stood behind Blair, watching as she clicked on a file and a video began to play. It didn't take Georgina long to recognize what that video was about. It showed her getting out of a cab and walking into a seedy apartment and the camera followed her up three flights of stairs until she stopped at a ratty old apartment door.
When the door opened she walked inside and the picture faded momentarily, causing Georgina to smile again, "You have nothing. So I walked into some apartment building. That proves nothing."
"Oh contraire." Blair said with a sexy smile as the video began to play again. This time the view came from the balcony outside. Inside Georgina was handing a large wad of money to a rather large bearded man in exchange for some high grade cocaine.
Blair turned and smiled at Georgina, "I bet you're thinking, 'oh that's not enough to convict me', but you see, you aren't a very smart girl and I have three more drug buys on tape. Once more from this very apartment building and twice from a much classier apartment building, but every time you are buying cocaine and large sums of it to. You really must go through stuff like it's actual candy."
"Okay, I don't know how the hell you got those tapes, but fine, you win again." Georgina said with a depressed sigh, "I just wanted Serena to give me a chance. I didn't want to blackmail you. I just knew you wouldn't help without it."
"Well, now you know I won't help period."
Georgina dropped her attitude and pleaded with Blair the old fashioned way, "Come on, you can't want Serena with that Jenny girl."
"Even if she wasn't with Jenny I wouldn't want her with you." Blair said with just enough distain to make her point. "You proved to be rather unstable and it seems as though you haven't changed one bit, besides, I'd be with Serena if she wasn't with Jenny."
"You still love her don't you?"
"That's none of your business." Blair said with a dismissive glare, "Now, I think our business is concluded so you can see yourself out since you saw yourself in."
"Wait. Please." Georgina said, grabbing onto Blair's arm as she pleaded, "I'm sorry I brought up Lily. That was stupid and I knew I shouldn't have listened to Vanessa."
"What? Vanessa put you up to this?"
"Not exactly." Georgina said with guilty smile, "I did want to talk to you, but she convinced me that you wouldn't listen to reason and that's when she offered to give me some ammunition."
"That's not surprising, but what is surprising is why you'd listen to her? Don't you do research on everyone in our little circle?"
"Yes, but I couldn't get anything on her. She seems like a nice girl to me. It seems Serena likes her and Jenny, although they had their differences because of Nate, are still friends. Even you seemed to be accepting her.
"Well that changed tonight. She's now public enemy number one and if you don't leave you'll be number two."
"Can we please start over?" Georgina asked with a pleading whimper, "Honestly, I've changed. I have no friends and if I have to accept that Serena is taken, maybe you could just keep me company tonight."
"Why just tonight? Are you leaving soon?"
"No, I just feel sad, depressed and I really don't want to be alone. I won't bite. Just give me an hour to show you I'm not all bad."
"I'm not sure why I'm even thinking of doing this, but I believe people should get a second chance." Blair felt a strange sense of peace come over her as she gave Georgina a break.
