An Affair to Remember!
Chapter 1!
Summary: The night of Blair's 17th birthday party, Nate was taking a walk with Jenny. It was then it hit him, his mother's ring did not belong to the brunette he was on/off with, but a young blond, underage blond. So whatever is going on between them, will remain a secret, but for how long? JennyXNate. This story is adopted from PrettyReckless09!
Both Jenny and Nate sat on the steps outside some apartment and just talked. Nate talked about his family problems and Jenny just listened, something Blair had never done. She was always about herself, she never cared about his problems, but Jenny was different. She comforted him and listened to him, was giving him advice, making him feel better. He returned the favor by listening to her talk about her family problems. Something they both had in common at the moment, which was why they were listening to one another, helping one another, without judging one another.
Nate just watched Jenny as she talked about her family problems, he felt so bad for her. She was so young and innocent and had to deal with her parents split by herself, as she informed him Dan had Serena and Vanessa and she didn't really have anyone she could talk to. Jenny also talked about trying to fit in, make a name for herself, even if it meant she had to get in with Blair and her little group.
"You know I didn't actually want to come to Blair's party, it was just a reason to get out of the house" she said,
Nate smiled "yeah, I know the feeling" then he picked up the box and passed it over to her "Blair's birthday present"
Jenny took the box and opened it "your mother's ring, Blair told me about it, wow it's beautiful"
"You know...I'm supposed to give it to Blair tonight" he told her with a sigh.
Jenny noticed he didn't seem so pleased about it "I'm guessing it wasn't your idea?"
Nate sighed and looked down at the drink in his hand "Blair and I broke up, and I know it was the right thing to do, I mean we just shouldn't be together right now, you know"
Jenny felt bad for Nate "you sound pretty sure about it"
"I am" he confessed "and as much as I want to do right about my parents and help them, it's totally unfair, to me or to Blair"
Jenny nodded, listening to him go on.
"If I do this now, when will it ever stop?" he questioned.
Jenny didn't know if she should say something, but then it didn't stop her "well, it will only stop when you stop it"
Nate looked at her, with his dazzling cute smile and she smiled back. He then noticed the box was still open in her hand, she followed his gaze and too realized that she was still holding the box with his mother's ring.
"Oh, I'm sorry" she told him, and closed the box and put it down beside him.
Nate looked at her and smiled, and then he picked up the box, opened it up and took out the ring. Jenny looked at him confused, but he ignored the looks and took her left hand, he felt her hesitate, because she knew what he was about to do, she tried to pull her hand back, but he held on firmly. Then he slipped the ring onto her finger. She stared at her hand and the ring, her heart was beating real fast.
"Don't get too excited Jenny, he's just...he's being nice"
"It looks beautiful on your hand" Nate said and Jenny finally tore her away long enough to see Nate staring at her with such intensity in his eyes.
Nate leaned forward but Jenny turned her head and then slid the ring off her finger and placed it on his palm.
(A.N The perfect song for this scene, Miranda Cosgrove Kissin' U lol. Seriously, listen to the song while reading this part)
Nate closed his hand around the ring and then they both stood up and headed down the few steps.
"Hey!" Nate called out to the cab that was heading their way. The cab stopped and Nate opened the door for Jenny "so I don't know how this day started, but I actually had a kinda good night"
Jenny laughed and then Nate got serious. "Your parents won't be mad with you staying out late, will they?"
"No, they know I'm with a friend"
Then Jenny hugged Nate, then when they broke apart they stared at one another, Nate leaned in close and place on hand on Jenny's face and the other on her waist and pulled her gently close and kissed her on the lips. However, unknown to them, someone had just come by and spotted them and taken a picture.
